    I know that this is the OG Bronco's, but I think I prefer the one on 120th and Pacific! I've been to this original location many times through my childhood and early adulthood, when drinking libations nearby. Going back as a full fledged adult recently, I was sad to see it did not live up to my fond memories. The food here is right on par with the newer Bronco's, but the staff and cleanliness of this location leave a lot to be desired. The floor hadn't been swept at all, and no tables were clean the last time we went. We tried to go outside but there was a police officer interrogating someone out there (?!) The staff were also kind of dismissive when we were trying to order and asking questions. So I would say if you're craving a burger from Bronco's, definitely hit up the one on 120th and Pacific if you're able to. It's the same food, but it's a lot cleaner, larger, with more seating, and better staff.

    Classic!

    I feel like I use the phrase "an Omaha classic" a lot. But I'm never lying about it. Bronco's chicken is awesome! That being said, I almost always get the patty melt here because it's the best one I have ever found! Just the best. Sometimes I don't see it on the menu board and have a moment of panic. The fries are like from another era. Kinda limp and greasy but I mean that in the best way! I usually don't get my own order, I prefer to steal them from my husband's meal. Somehow that makes them even better. He loves the chocolate shake...it's not really a favorite of mine; the soft-serve ice cream makes it kind of foamy. Nonetheless I have to have a taste or two of his. Service here is usually great - fast and friendly. The unique (anymore anyway) building and the neon sign...I hope these things never go away. Seating inside is limited; there are some picnic tables outside as well. But like it says, you might have to drive thru. Let's not let these classic places just slip away!

    Sweet little old school burger joint Great fries, had a regular cheese burger and even though it was a tad on the tigon side it tasted like a burger old fashion burger. Next time I'm trying the onion rings and fried chicken

    Is this some type of joke?

    It's not often I hand out a 1 star review, but Bronco's is well deserving. They've definitely earned this one. From the terrible customer service, to the pathetic excuse for a cheeseburger... Oh, did I forget the unseasoned, lukewarm, soggy fries? How are places like this still in business? This place is absolutely awful.

    Receipt clearly shows plain

    The clerk taking our order avoided eye contact and we could barely hear what they were saying. Hubs Ordered a plain burger with lettuce and onion and got it with mustard and bronco sauce along with sloppy sautéed onions. The fries were greasy. I ordered a patty melt that was barely toasted . I brought my patty melt home to hopefully give it a second chance. Hubs left his meal for the trash. Not willing to say anything for fear of spit in our food. They have 3 booths for dine in . Employees lack any welcoming efforts. It's too bad a log standing establishment was so disappointing for our first time.

    Oh my , these fried , char grilled bone in wings are so delicious!…read moreCannot wait to enjoy them again. Servers were right on the spot. It was so busy , yet being sat, and served seemed fast ! Nothing fancy ! Comfortable, I liked sitting by the windows. Only one toilet in each bathroom. So you may have to wait awhile there. Just writing this makes me hungry for those wings again.

My wife and I both ordered the Everett's #2 with pulled chicken, coleslaw, and BBQ sauce. Everything just worked together perfectly. The chicken was tender, the slaw added the right crunch, and the bun tied it all together. It was one of those sandwiches where after the first bite you just look at each other and know you made the right choice. We also ordered the Saucy Rossy wings and they were the perfect heat level for both of us. Not so mild that they're boring and not so hot that you're suffering. Pro tip: get them fried and grilled. The extra texture and flavor are absolutely worth it. My wife is a total Brussels sprouts snob and she was absolutely in love with theirs. The funny part is that I'm usually not much of a Brussels sprouts person, but I kept asking for more off her plate. That alone should tell you how good they were. The fries were okay. Nothing that stole the show, but nothing to complain about either. The service wasn't the best during our visit, but they also had a 30-person table they were dealing with, so it was completely understandable. Even with that, the food was so good that it's already a top 3 meal for my wife. We'll definitely be thinking about those sandwiches, wings, and Brussels sprouts until we're back, and I don't think that'll take very long.

    Truly a gem, which explains why it's so popular amongst the locals. It's located in downtown Omaha,…read moreand attracted lots of visitors on the weekend that my partner and I were in town. Most of the highlight was the various types of burgers and fries they had, so my partner and I got two kinds, and we both enjoyed our respective meals. I had the block burger, which was as good as I imagined it to be, with juicy patty cooked to medium and every ingredient needed to make a good burger. The poutine had a lot of beef gravy and cheese curds, which made the dish a comprehensive experience to consume, rather than just fries. The duck duck goose fries were amazing! The duck confit, cheese curds, mayo, gravy, and gooseberry gastrique combination worked super well on top of the fries, because they altogether basically made it a gourmet dish that I had to eat with a fork. Finally, the sloppy nick was seasoned very well, even if we got the vegan version, which used impossible meat instead of ground beef. It was still really great! Hope everyone who visits Omaha gets to try this spot! Their wall has quite a few articles that recognized them as a locally renowned burger joint, and I could see why. Since they can be busy, I would recommend people getting there earlier to secure a good table spot, if dining in.

    Having just got to town and hungry for lunch I walked a few blocks to Block 16. I came because I…read moreread amazing reviews about them and saw they won numerous awards. I also checked out their menu and noticed it was definitely a unique, interesting menu. Upon walking in, there was a line backed up to the door and I waited in it about 15 mins and it didn't move one person, but I used this time to check out the menu and decide what I wanted. After noticing the line not moving and the cashier in heavy discussion with the family that was there placing their order, I felt it might be best to use their online ordering for carryout pickup instead. While doing this, the line moved up once and I suppose that next party had questions too and of course, plenty of time was spent answering those questions. This might seem like good service, but when the line is that long, either have more people there taking orders or use a kiosk for those of us who don't need to ask questions, or remind guests that there are many others in line (probably after the first 5 mins of discussing the menu) and the line needs to move up. After I placed my order, it told me it was accepted and gave me a time range of when to expect my order. I sat down and waited until the end of that range, which was only a few mins, and then went back up to the pick up area to ask about my order. The lady working was very friendly when I explained what I did. She gave me a number and told me she'd bring my order out, she also gave me the drink I pre-ordered. A few mins later, she brought my food out. I looked around to notice that people who were waiting for food prior to me still hadn't gotten their food. I'm not sure if it's always this slow in there or if it was busy because there's a conference in town. Opening the clamshell that my food was in - I noticed a beautiful sandwich and fries. The fries were piping hot and crispy and tasted great. The sandwich looked really nice, but when I went to pick it up, I noticed the entire bottom was soaked in grease and their hot sauce that was on the chicken. So, I fork & knifed this meal. The flavors of all the parts of the sandwich together were nice, just wish I could have picked it up without being a mess. If I ever returned, I'd get something different.
