    Big Bronco Combo
    Tia R.

    A must go every time I'm in town. The food has been the same for the last 30 years. Took my 2 year old granddaughter for the first time and she devoured her burger!

    I grew up on Bronco's and it still hits the spot. Can't go wrong with the Big Bronco Burger, it's like a home town big mac. Fries are greasey, but it's to be expected. The fry crumbs are a little treat at the end of your meal. I come back time and time again, and enjoy it every time!

    The burger was paper thin and cold.

    This is a burger and small fry for 7.10 ! What happened to Bronco's?!? The burger was wafer thin and cold.

    Bronco's has been an Omaha staple for decades, and it's easy to see why! It's the most iconic greasy spoon burger joint, slinging burgers and fries, you could ever imagine. I have eaten there many times via drive through and ordering/eating inside. And I definitely recommend eating inside so it's fresh and hot. The second it gets lukewarm or cold in the car on the way home, it loses all the fresh gooey tastiness. The ambiance inside is very diner-ish with grey, white, and red booths and tables. It's also great for kids, as they have a wall of pinball machines from the likes of Dr. No, The Mandalorian, and Hot Wheels. The drive-through is a 3/5 and the dine-in quality is a 5/5, which I will detail now. You place your order at the front counter and they call your number/name when it's your time to grab your food. The service is pretty good, but they are so busy usually that it can get crazy and they are pretty rushed in the order taking (but we've never had an issue with the order being incorrect) We always get the Double Cheeseburger with no onions, and add Bronco Sauce. I cannot stress this enough - get the Bronco Sauce ON the burger, if you want that, so it all melds together and gets warm on there with the other ingredients. You can get Bronco Sauce on the side for dipping fries, but absolutely get it ON the burger. The Bronco Sauce is pretty similar to Thousand Island dressing. The sauce, and melted American cheese, and pickles all work together so well. The Big Bronco burger is similar to a McDonald's Big Mac - with the special sauce, lettuce, and tomato. But the Bronco's version is a little better, in my opinion, because it feels more "real" like a burger your dad would make at a family gathering LOL We also have ordered the Garlic Toast randomly a few times, because that's one of my husband's favorite items ever. It is like Texas Toast style, but not very garlicky, and actually more buttery flavored. They have a Facebook liker counter on the front counter top, and you can see it change as likes come in (we did it and watched change LOL). That counter was at 13,730 when we were there last, so that tells you how popular they are in the Omaha menagerie of restaurants. So if you're looking for a classic burger in Omaha, stop into Bronco's, but only if you have time to eat inside and experience it in all its greasy glory.

    A Bizarre and Evil Experience ---- Got to the 120th St. Bronco's drive thru at about five 'til ten tonight and ordered a hamburger combo for my wife and I to split. Got our drink and then waited... and waited... and finally the food got to the window. The girl asked if we wanted mustard or ketchup; good thing I said no, because there were no less than TWENTY packs of mustard on top in the bag. I backed up to return the mustard we didn't want and then my wife noticed that the fries were cold. So we returned the mustard and fries and while waiting decided to check out the burgers which were barely warm themselves. We opened the wrapper and - what the hell - both were just drenched in mustard! I told the guy to just give back my money because they obviously couldn't be trusted with food. He apologized for the fries and said that because they were going to close that they gave us what had been sitting there rather than make fresh. What's the deal with the mustard? I asked; he said he had no idea. I'm left to guess that crew members after a long day decided to screw with the last customer. I've been coming to Bronco's since the early '60s. I've never had or seen such a ridiculous, weird, stupid experience here or few other fast-food joints.

For starters, we had the bacon-wrapped shrimp, which came with mushrooms on the side. It didn't look particularly appetizing when it arrived, but it was absolutely delicious. The mushrooms were especially good--salty without being overpowering, which I really enjoyed. To drink, I tried the sangria. It didn't particularly stand out, but it was still enjoyable. For my entrée, I chose the whiskey ribeye cooked medium-rare, and it came out exactly how I like it. The steak was cooked perfectly and was very flavorful. The salad bar wasn't huge, but it had a nice variety of toppings to choose from. The atmosphere is rustic with very dim lighting, and there were a few TVs throughout the restaurant as well. It does get quite loud when it's busy, though. Our waitstaff was attentive without being overbearing, which I appreciated. Overall, it was a good experience, and I will definitely be back.

But I'm not a huge fan. First, it's really, really dark and really, really noisy. Not a place for a conversation, especially if you are dining with kids. The salad bar is, well, meh. The tastiest part is the super sweet poppy seed dressing. As far as the stars of the show go, I've eaten several of their steaks. They've all been well marinaded and perfectly cooked, but the ribeye and strip had a lot of exterior gristle that should have been trimmed off before grilling. Meals come with a baked potato, and other sides are available. I wish creamed spinach and corn were options (it is the Cornhusker state, after all), but those are just my preferences. We made reservations weeks ago (we knew the College World Series would be in town) so we did not have the 2+ hour wait that less organized folks were complaining about. We were seated right away - yay, OpenTable! Service was very attentive, and our meal's timing was impeccable. Omaha has a lot of choices for carnivores, and The Drover is a long way from the worst I've tried. I'm just not not sure it's where I'll get my steak fix in the future.

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.

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!
