I know Charred is a chain restaurant, but every single location I've been to hasn't missed a beat, even this one! This specific Charred offers pickle cheesy egg rolls on their menu. After our server recommended it, we did not hesitate to try it out. It was the best thing we ate that day. I ordered the mushroom burger with horseradish sauce. Hubby got the charred burger. Fries were crispy and fresh. Ambiance is casual, located in the south pointe mall. You can walk of your meal by checking out shops including Scheels with the iconic Ferris wheel inside. read more

We walked in to an empty restaurant right at dinner time. Ppl who know me know that rt at that moment I get very Wary. But service was impeccable. Drinks were impeccable and food was impeccable. We ordered some cocktails. The young lady servicing us was polite and understanding. She came back with our drinks promptly and gave us time to peruse the menu Hubby got a burger with beercheese on the side with no buns. I got a fungi burger with onion rings on the side. One thing- sides should be equal whether its adult or kids' meal lol. I did want grapes for my sides But its ok. The drinks were wonderfully balanced. And delicious. The food - wonderfully executed My burger patty was charred on the outside and succulent on the inside. ( justice to rhe name of the restaurant) The mushrooms and Swiss cheese melted just right and the truffle aioli on it- perfect. I havent enjoyed a burger so much for a while. Thank you!!! Just a surprise that it was so empty on a Sunday night. Prompt service and delicious food. We will be back!!! read more

A good burger spot, the tater tots are a hit or miss with being too salty. The drinks are always made well. The servers are attentive & prompt with taking orders. Chill environment, I'll be returning! read more

They charge 3% more to use a credit card, in 2026. On the tipping screen they invert the tip amounts. 25% on the left, 20% on the middle, and 18% on the right. The audacity after charging me an extra 3% to use what is now the defacto default payment method. read more

Our party of four went at lunchtime on a Saturday. We were one of only 2 parties there at the time, which was surprising. Everyone really liked their meals. I've forgotten exactly which burgers these were, but as one can see from the photos, they looked excellent, and they tasted great, too! The service was really good. The only thing I'd suggest for improvement is to add some music. It was so quiet in there, and felt kind of awkward. read more

terrible service not one waiter made eye contact with us we sat there for 30 minutes waiting and didn't even get a drink!!!!!!!!!!! DO NOT RECOMMEND read more

Service was dung. There's no excuse to not seat people when the place isn't busy and waitresses are on their phone at the bar. Burger was missing items. I won't fault anyone. Just needs to pay attention. If it's dead, service is garbage, the food better make up for it read more

We have been getting charred for 2 years, quality has went in the toilet, We just got an order to pick up, and it was awful, over cooked burger, guacamole on the tots was brown and rotten.... Nobody cares.. because there is no supervision.. Finally we are done. So sad read more

Here for lunch now of a variety burgers. Breakfast Burger and Fungi Burger, both prepared rare, and one order of fries. Water drinks. And we agree these are both lesser burgers than all previous. read more

Comfortable, welcoming space. Great service from a knowledgeable server who is studying at UNL. She did an excellent job and answered our every question. We had a cod sandwich, which was a special, and a char burger touted as being Waygu beef. The portion was a bit small for a place whose name features burgers. The char was a bit much on one side. Aiolis were a big item served in place of ketchup and mustard. Garlic, jalapeño and pickle, which was served in lieu of tartar sauce. Will go back. read more

Took a quick little break with my honey for lunch today after helping her with some of her work. We wanted to try something different, and really scored! We both had a classic burger , Barbara had onion rings and ice tea, I had tots and lemonade. Burgers were excellent, the onion ring she shared was one of the best I have had in a very long time, the tots were perfectly extra crispy and both were seasoned exceptionally well! The 'weather was perfect for sitting on the patio and enjoying each other's company. All and all everything was completely awesome. We now have a new favorite sit down burger place! read more

A good burger and very tasty fries. Atmosphere was nice and service was ok. I'll come back to try other burgers. Wife did not like her salad. read more

We waited 15 minutes for getting our drinks. Their staff was lazy. We found a hair in our burger and they discounted the fries. It was a $4.00 discount. I don't recommend this place at all. read more

Soooooo Good! Loved the burger. BUT very slow service. The place felt as if a nice restaurant and a fast food one had a baby. Cool but not the place to take a first date. The food felt more upscale than the service or ambiance. With that said very reasonable prices, so if the food is motivated by taste and not a luxury setting, check this place out. Had the service been more prompt, it would have been a 4-star experience. read more

Went with friends yesterday. The burgers were prepared perfectly. Very tasty.The server was excellent. She took our drink order and returned promptly with large mason jars of refreshments. The server gave us ample time to make our selections and returned to check on our needs. We enjoyed the opportunity to have a great meal and have conversations. We will be back. read more

My party really liked all of their burgers, lemonades, and sandwiches. We thought the sides could have been better! The service was slow for there only being 2 tables in the restaurant. But overall a decent experience! read more

The decor and lighting was cute. It was a sit down vibe, but also casual! We were in a bit of a rush, but they were quick and we were able to still enjoy our food! I got the classic burger with a side of tots and the burger was cooked perfect. My only complaint is that everything was salty, and my friend got the haystack loaded fries and they were almost too salty to eat. read more

This was my first time at charred burger. From the moment I walked in I was greeted with a warm, friendly welcome. The establishment looked extremely clean and well kept. The waitress was very attentive and polite, she did not make me feel rushed. The food was pleasurable and the drinks were enjoyable. Needless to say I will be going back. read more

I had a strawberry lemonade vodka and signature burger. Both were great. Atmosphere was a bit bland but I was there around 4:30pm. I'm sure it gets poppin' later. Nice little happy hour while I was there. Bonus! read more

Best burger I've had in months, wasn't overly greasy or rich, felt healthy to eat. Great lemonade and service as well.

I thought I'd give this establishment a second try. The first time they brought out my wife's and my burger. Hers was the Black and Blue mine the Steakhouse. My was great but hers was totally raw!! The excuse - 'we are really busy and the burger was messed up, sorry'. Last night with a colleague he ordered the Cheddar Bacon burger and I ordered the Steakhouse again. Server brought out 2 Cheddar Bacons. The excuse - 'our kitchen is totally slammed at it messed up, sorry'. No - let me fix that for you or let me get my manager over. Nope. Just a sorry and 'hope you enjoy your burger'. This place is NOT recommended. They just don't care read more

Service was friendly and great. Jalapeño popper burger had great heat and flavor and the fries were great! Family friendly as well.

Saw this going into Costco in Omaha. Was excited about eating a good burger. Very disappointed. Burger was thin and had been frozen - not fresh. Wife said her chicken avocado sandwich was good but will not be going back. read more

Super delicious meal this afternoon. Not crowded but a bit slower getting to us and taking our order but the burgers were cooked perfectly. They came hot hot and juicy. Their strawberry lemonade was a nice sweetness but not too sweet. Great honey mustard dipping sauce. We would definitely go back! read more

Service was great, the burger was pretty salty in my opinion. But other than that everything was good.

One of the better burgers in town. The fries and the tots are excellent as well. I really want to try the chicken sandwiches but always end up with a burger and tots. Very clean establishment worth a modern look. Mixed drinks and a few beers are on tap. For what a restaurant /bar meal in this price range (10-16$ a person) it's really one of the best places in town. read more

I ordered the vegetarian burger because that was the only option as a pescatarian. It seemed to be batter fried. I removed most of the batter but what I ate made me sick all night. Not vegetarian friendly. read more

Head to Southpoint mall and enjoy this neighborhood gem. It is a burger bar that also has chicken on the menu. Refreshing home made lemonades, creative Moscow mules, and good beer selection. Family friendly and has garage doors that open up to the sidewalk. It is right next to the movie theater and a great place to hang out. I had the classic burger that had a garlic aïoli that was fantastic. They specialize in different aïoli sauce to put on your sandwich as well as dipping sauces for your sides like french fries, onion rings (which were fabulous) and tater tots and a few other items. I will be back to try the lemonade, but adding vodka to it next time. read more

Always good food and good service. Suggest to all my friends and family. Right across from the movie theatre.

The food is always amazing, and typically fairly quick, my kids looove this place so that's a win too. The service is always pretty good but I do think they might be understaffed. There's been a few times there's only 1 waiter and way too many tables for only one. So I don't hold that against them if it's a staffing issue. If it's poor planning then they need to work on that. I recommend the cheese fry's for the family to share with their burgers, they give you tons, and are my favorite thing on the menu. read more

So the hamburgers are OK but not really at the level that I would expect for the price I paid it

I love their Wagyu burger! their cheese curds! and!!!!! their fresh strawberry lemonade. Very friendly and nice service. Highly recommend read more

Look, this place is amazing. Very great staff, the chef is on point. It's flavorland, just order the food or drink that you like, specify any caveats and ENJOY!!! I'm terribly satisfied. Shout out to Kayci and James the Chef read more

OMG, I am a burger and onion ring snob and this place rocks. It is a must try burger place. I had the Bacon Ranch burger, it was cooked perfectly mid rare. Hard to find these days, and love wagyu beef. Onion rings home made with nice mix of seasoning and the honey siracha aioli. Don't get it to go as burgers never last, you need to come in and enjoy a great burger and service! read more

I'll start with the good- the burgers that we had were both absolutely DELICIOUS. I highly recommend the French Dip burger. To me, it's a burger that is equal to or even surpasses ones I've gotten at Honest Abe's (which is apparently Lincoln's "go to" burger place.) The fries with the truffle aioli was also tremendous. So to me, the food is a total 5 star. The not so good- The ambiance with lies somewhere between "should this be fast food" and "we really want to be modern and classy." Charred is bookended by Old Chicago and Ollie and Hobbes, which both present a better option for sit down dining. When we went the large garage doors were open allowing several flies to swarm around over the food and the tables. Also the floor was so slippery that our table chairs wouldn't even sit still unless we held the table (which was also incredibly wobbly). The drink selection was good for non-beer drinkers. With various Mules and other mixed drinks, those who don't want beer will find an option they like. I tried one of their Gin and Tonics and it was very good. The beer selection is beyond basic and sad. When you eat a burger, you want a good beer. The offerings do not go beyond basic domestics and one or two local flagship beers. I would enjoy seeing more diverse beers. This is another reason I'd rather go to Old Chicago next door. If I want a good beer, why would I go to Charred? The service was acceptable. We were immediately asked to sit at a high top table in an empty half of the restaurant and the hostess did not seem ok with me kindly asking to have a booth or a table where the other diners were eating. Once we sat, it took several minutes before someone came to take a drink order or greet us even though the entire wait staff walked by our table multiple times. One worker finally said she'd be right with us, and she definitely was to take our drink order. Our food was out very quickly but was accompanied by our ticket. This made us feel incredibly rushed and felt like it gave the waitress a reason to not come check on us anymore. We wanted another round of drinks, but weren't sure anybody really wanted to sell them to us. Overall the reason this restaurant is just an "ok" for me is very simple. While I would gladly order their burgers to-go or from a delivery service, I have no interest of ever eating in their restaurant again. Simply put, the two restaurants around them do everything just as good, if not better, than Charred does for a similar price. I would rather go to Ollie and Hobbes for an overall better dining experience and I would MUCH rather go to Old Chicago for the beer. Charred is in a very challenging location. Multiple restaurants have failed there over the past 15 years. I can't imagine this place lasts beyond the next year or so. 3/5, thanks to the excellent food. read more
