Pulled pork very tender , melts in your mouth
Kendall C.

We are driving On a long road trip from Coast to Coast . Stopping in too all the famous places along the way . Love the consistancy and tenderness of this pulled porch sandwhich. The bun even melts in your mouth. You order your food and get a number . Right in the heart of downtown , friendly staff , low key atmosphere

Sailor Dip
Jed M.

Stopped by Block 16 for lunch while visiting downtown Omaha. Restaurant had a casual, cozy, and rustic feel and was 60% occupancy late in the lunch timeframe. Staff were welcoming and attentive. I had the Sailor Dip ($16.95) and poutine fries ($7.95). The dip was served super hot and fresh. Very good sandwich and incredibly filling. But I had regret for not trying other more unique menu items. The poutine fries were also good but not served at the same lava hot temperature which would have made them better. Nonetheless, excellent lunch spot while in downtown Omaha!

Reuben
Amanda R.

Grabbed lunch at Block 16 on a Tuesday and it was SLAMMED at noon. After a decent wait in line and then about 30 minutes for our food, we got our poutine and Reuben. The food is not photogenic, at all, but the Reuben was INCREDIBLE. I didn't love the poutine, it was just fine, but I'd order the Reuben again in a heartbeat!

Poutine Burriro
Mark T.

This place was amazing! So the wife and I decided to try this place on a recommendation from Siri, when I asked for a restaurant near me. We had heard good things about Block 16, but had never tried it, so we thought we would give it a chance, since it came highly recommended. From the outside it didn't look like much, typical downtown store front, but once inside you get a real earthy vibe and the smells start to fill your mind with good thoughts. It was an order at the front kind of place with self seating, and being that they were really and quite busy it was hard to find a seat, but we got lucky, grabbing the last table. My wife ordered the sailor dip and I got the poutine burrito with funky fungi fries, but it was a hard decision because everything on the murmured looked so good. Had to wait a bit, since it was cooked to order, but well worth the wait. Big portions and great flavors. Enough for us to take home and enjoy a second time around. It's was so good, definitely lived up to the hype. A bit expensive but really tasty and fresh. If you find yourself downtown Omaha, check this place out... You will not be disappointed.

Chef Driven, Farm to Fork Lunch ( till 8pm some days ) joint. The hand helds are unique and crafted to order. Daily specials will usually sell out, so if you're wanting it, don't wait! The staff at the front are helpful and take your order and give you a number. Food arrives in about 20 minutes. It's swift food, not fast food. The tables are 1/2 family style and half regular. Beverage options include fountain soda, and canned ( both beer and NA ). They have a lot of fry upgrade options.

Dragon Wrap , Crab Rangoon Fries, Croque Garcon Burger Combo
Julia Y.

In a word, fantastic. In many words : Block 16 is a must visit in Omaha for American style food. Their ingredient quality, and mixtures of flavors are unmatched. Their focus on ingredients is clear in the freshness of your meal! No fear, anything you select to eat will have that special touch added to it. As a vegetarian, American style places just mean a lot of beyond burger swap outs. NOT HERE. I got a dragon wrap with sietan and it was FANTASTIC. the texture of the sietan was pull apart soft, the seasoning was a mixture that was reminiscent of gyro flavors in my opinion. The arugula and chickpeas brought brightness, and the dragon sauce kept everything dense and hearty. It's quite large as well, I found it bigger than the burger ! My brother got a burger with a sunny side up egg and ham on it. He is somewhat of a burger connoisseur as it's his favorite thing to explore. After the first bite he couldn't stop saying how impressed he was! The toppings and the quality of the burger patty itself was top tier. We shared some crab Rangoon style fries ... LAWD. They were so loaded that every bite had more than sufficient cream cheese, onions, and fried crispies. The environment threw me off initially. They've selected to put more money into their food in my opinion haha. You go to the counter to open, there is no table service. It results in a quick experience from ordering to eating!

Their wing off was amazing! I loved the way this event ran. It was nice to walk in when I had time and then I could take it home to eat without embarrassing myself in public . The wing flavors were awesome! My favorite was the Peruvian puff pepper but they were all fun. 10/10 would do this again!

Spicy chicken sandwich
Connor L.

Updated from my last visit. Block 16 is such a uniquely Omaha establishment. Buddy had the chicken sandwich don't remember the name but it was on the everyday menu. Said it was very very good. I had the daily special which was. A jerk style meat on the fresh pita it was exceptional loved the pineapple slaw as well.

Philly Cheesesteak Special and Duck Duck Goose Fries
Derrick D.

A fun little spot. I knew everything looked crazy on the menu, but didn't expect to be completely perplexed on what to order. It's tight quarters and will fill up quickly at lunch. Multiple people looking for seats. The food comes quick though so they're churnin and burnin. They were very nice at the register and seemed genuinely happy to be there. The food was very good and you could tell they took good care using high end ingredients. Only complaint I have is I would've enjoy a different bread on the Philly. Was like a toasted potato hot dog bun of sorts. Still good. The duck fries are just wow, highly recommend. Check it out!

Burger combo
Ethan D.

This burger was mouthwatering, and the fries were delicious!! The seating area was small inside so it probably gets busy however they were quick getting the order, would definitely recommend for a delicious burger!

Cayden R.

Block 16 is written about in all the food magazines for a REASON! This place is absolutely show stopping! I can't even put into words how great the food is here. The crab Rangoon fries are so STELLAR!!!!! They are a meal by themselves if you are hungry enough! The burgers are always stacked and packed with great flavor! The people working are so friendly and happy to answer any questions about their rotating menu! The shop itself is sustainable and beautiful inside with the tall windows, compostable utensils and it's super clean!

Chicken
Kathleen K.

Wow. Great restaurant we found on Yelp while traveling through Nebraska. Order at the counter and have a seat. They will bring the food out to you. We had a burger, chicken and fries. The Shroomy burger was excellent and cooked perfectly between medium rare and medium. The chicken thighs are nicely seasoned and very crispy. Moist inside. We also had the Poutine Fries and they were excellent too. Don't skip the lemonade as it is stellar too.

Wing Off
Joshua H.

Needless to say, Block 16 has some BOMB wings. We attended a special event they put on with 6 different flavors of wings and a winner was chosen. Needless to say they all were incredible. Fries are very solid and the sauce they hand out with their wings were incredible. Wait time was short and they were pretty busy so don't expect to get right in all the time. Theres a reason they have a line.

Ask the Community - Block 16

Do they have TVs?

No they don't have TVs. Small place with some larger shared tables and 2 person tables.

Does block 16 take reservations?

They do not.

Are you able to call in and place an order? I've been calling and I know they are extremely busy but it seems that someone hung up the phone? I saw a lane for pickup orders once when I went in person. So I am just double checking.

What is the best vegan dish?

We actually have several vegan options. Vegan sloppy nick, vegan tardiness, vegan poutine burrito to name a few. We make sextant in house

Do they have a kids menu?

Unfortunately no, but there is always a more simple menu item that would be suitable. It's a great chance for little ones to expand their palate and try something new! My mini me is a fan.

Everett's - Medium Hot Wings

Everett's is a solid ten! At least that's what I would give them if I could. We had heard about…read morethem and were very excited to try. I'm sure everything on the menu is good, but we came here for wings and boy did they deliver. The house brined wings are Fantastic. We did the extra hot bubba, which is their extra hot sauce fried then grilled In garlic Parmesan, which was so juicy and flavorful and kicked the heat to a perfect amount where it was flavorful but not overbearing. We also did the cactus ranch, which is the medium hot sauce tossed with cactus ranch seasoning, also tried it grilled. Another solid selection that provided a nice amount of heat and flavor. Both were so amazing I can't even say which one I liked more or which one was hotter. The wings are huge, juicy, and came out well-sauced. I filled up after five of mine (my husband tackled them all) and took the rest home. I don't know how to say best wings in Omaha, since I don't live there and haven't tried enough places, but these were some of the best wings we have EVER had, period. And we get wings almost everywhere we go. Also---the hand-cut (you heard me) fries aren't to be passed up on. We tried with the garlic aoili, so good, and a huge basket for $6. Our server was great. They are always busy, so give them some grace. We came during late lunch, got lucky and got seated right away, and it was still a revolving door of people, tables don't sit empty for long. They don't take reservations, and I understand why. They have limited space and when full, you sign up on the Board, there is a bar next door you can also receive a buzzer and go have a few drinks while you wait. This place is definitely worth the wait and we will repeatedly be back when we make it up to Omaha.

Had Everett's today. I've been here a few times and I can't believe I have not done a review. Now…read moreat 11:22 am this place was packed already and I see why always. The food is great! Best wings in Omaha I think. Great cajun dry rub. Nice and crispy as well. Simply wing perfection! Love their mayo slaw as well. Very good! Awesome service to boot. Can't go wrong here.

My husband and I visited Crispy Burger when we were in Aksarben for the Omaha Film Festival. It was…read morea pleasant surprise! I noticed a lot of newer eateries and businesses in Aksarben since the last time I was there, so hopefully some of them stick around a while. Anyhoo, on to Crispy Burger! First off, the interior is bright and colorful, with a lot of orange, red, and then an accent wall of black and white geometric shapes. It's a super welcoming vibe! One thing that's kind of weird is that the building (and Yelp and Google) says Crispy Chicken, but all the wrappers and signs say "Crispy Burger" which was confusing. The smells inside when you walk in make your mouth water, so get ready to over order if it's your first time here (we definitely did!) They have a LOT of fried things, like fried chicken, mozzarella sticks, popcorn chicken, etc. So this definitely is not an every day place if you are looking for health food. We ordered the cheese sticks to start and they were enormous. Definitely shareable between a few people, as each cheese stick is like an appetizer in itself! I ordered the nuggets and fries, and they were really well breaded and pretty large. You can choose from about 1500 sauces for dipping (ok, maybe more like ten, but that's still a lot!) The fries were great too, that come as a side in your box. My husband had the bone in chicken wings combo, and he was very pleased with his choice. Gigantic wings, with fries, a biscuit, and mashed potatoes and gravy on the side. Now is Crispy Burger fine dining or somewhere you'd go on a date night? Definitely not. But it's nice, tasty food, for a pretty inexpensive price. So I would definitely recommend trying it out next time you're in the Aksarben area!
