Great burger place in Lincoln, NE! Wouldn't say the best burger EVER but a darn good burger. I got the 1809, which was sweet, savory, cheesy, paired in harmony with the patty. Unique take on a sweet burger, which I am personally a huge fan of. The sweet potato fries and tater tots take the crown here. Don't get me wrong, the fries were good.... But their tots are crispy and fluffy greatness, especially paired with the sauces. You order up at the counter, they give you a number and once the food is ready, they bring it to you. It's a smaller place, so wouldn't recommend it for groups larger than 6. Lots of take out orders and pretty fast service! read more

I was down in Lincoln for a softball tournament with a friend and knew we had to stop at Abe's! The Greatest Burger Ever is very accurately named as this might just be the best burger I've ever had! You order up front and the food comes out quick. It's an easy place to meet for lunch or dinner. I truly can't recommend it more! Anytime I'm in Lincoln this is a go-to spot. All of their food is made fresh and it's always delicious. read more

Took out order quickly, and was very polite. Food was served quick and was hot and fresh. I got the "Dances with Burgers" as my entree, and it was amazing. The buffalo cream cheese gave a nice rich feel, and the kick gave a nice change up in the flavor. The fries were also good. Hot and fresh, crispy on the inside, fluffy on the outside. Not much more you can ask for in a burger restaurant read more

This is a popular local burger chain with an ode to the city's namesake, Abraham Lincoln. There was a line waiting patiently when we arrived for an early lunch. The dinning room is upscale, in a fast food way, with pictures and quotes from Abe. I ordered the Honest Salad with burger. The salad was super fresh, the burger delicious and filling. The burger was seasoned perfectly. My husband had the burger Kid's meal, which was a perfect size for lunch. The crispy shoestring fries are fabulous, the best fries I had in a long time. The burgers are great with a brioche style bun. The staff is super friendly. You order at the counter and they deliver food to your table. Parking was easy in the strip mall. Overall, great experience. read more

Their turn around menu is one of the best things and their burgers are always so yummy! I was attended by the sweetest server and was able to get an alternative option due to dietary restrictions. read more

And we're back for real good burger options now. Mex Coke to start. 5 Stars for that alone! Natural Mystic burger, rare prep request, and sharing fries. All is really good. read more

A fantastic place to stop in for a great burger and shakes! We came in as a large group last night and all of the staff were kind and got our food out promptly. The burgers were delicious and everyone loved their shakes. Would 100% recommend as a quick burger stop in Lincoln! read more

I forgot to take a pic of my food. I was too excited to dig in. I had the Hair of the Dog. I almost removed the peanut butter. However, due to my prior experience with the odd but delicious ingredients on the 1809, I decided to leave it as is. It was delicious. I so enjoyed it. My only gripe was the bacon flavor not really shining through in the jam. It was still very tasty tho read more

My burger was great BUT DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES ORDER THE NUGGETS. $12 worth of lukewarm garbage. They probably just get the nuggets from the frozen isle at the super saver right next door. read more

Came here to eat with my family, we had a big order and they were so patient and food came out hot and fresh! We love coming here can't wait to come back soon! read more

1st time @ the Cornhusker Hwy location & the only time I'mdisappointed with Honest Abe's. Normally go to the Glen Oaks location & it is always stellar. Cornhuskers location, not so much. Went because I wanted to try the porterhouse burger & it was ok but it was the same size as the kids burger we got for the granddaughter. Definitely not the 6oz burger you get at the Glen Oaks location. Don't mind paying Abes prices but you shouldn't be paying for the regular size burger & getting the kids burger. Won't be back to this location. The store was also dirty, with no napkins in the dispensers on the tables. Not near the store that Glen Oaks is. read more

Another great Honest Abe's experience! (Trying a 3rd location here) Fiancé got a seasonal special - the Dazed and Cornfused. roasted corn & cilantro sour cream, cotija cheese, cinnamon-sugar tortilla strips, chili-lime mayonnaise We were both questioning about the topping combination in this one because it really did sound like a confused mess, but somehow it worked. I wasn't too sure what was going on and neither was he. Definitely a lot of flavor here and especially combined with the flavor of the beef itself. I got the Colonel Burger with chicken instead of beef, no tomato; Grilled Chicken, Mozzarella, Basil, Roasted Garlic Vinaigrette, Balsamic Mayo It actually was like eating a Caprese salad in a burger, and SO GOOD! The balsamic and garlic and mozzarella and basil combination was supreme! Mozzarella was really fresh, whole layer of basil on the bottom, and very generous amounts of sauces in there. No complaints at all here coz this was a superb burger! It really surprised me. Even the sauces by themselves were good. I would totally recommend trying the sauce with fries. My brother got the Nacho Mama on chicken too; queso cream cheese, tortilla chips, green onion sour cream. Was my second option for my order, and it would have been a good choice as well. Quite a different flavor from the caprese but a really good favor of its own. Nacho vibes totally came through with the crispy tortilla chips and that sauce thing going on. Bro definitely enjoyed his burger. read more

Good burger, but straight rude service. The food is good. I've been here a few times now, and the burgers are constantly on point. Customer service is lacking. The guy taking my order was being rude. It's not what you say, but how you say it. It's also what you don't say. To just stand there and stare at me was weird. To make me ask if you are ready is a lack of training. To respond with an eye roll is unprofessional. Service will come and go, but I think the have a good formula to push out delicious food on a consistent basis. read more

Loved this place! We stopped during a roadtrip and loved it so much we went again on the way back. They have good gf options and their truffle fries are fantastic! Service was also great. read more

You just can't go wrong with beef and freedom from one location. I had the Big Poppa with tots. Everything was fresh and the flavor contrasts between the raspberry jam and the jalapeño cream cheese were perfect. Tots dipped in awesome sauce were also hard to beat. read more

Very solid burger spot they have a wide variety of different options. I got a cheeseburger added bacon and an egg with truffle fries. I also got the birthday cake shake which was good. Overall good burgers and would come back when I'm in the area! read more

Have you had the best burger in Lincoln, maybe even in Nebraska, yet? I can not tell a lie, Honest Abe's has it. They have a rotating menus of crazy creative burgers and the 4 locations across Lincoln all have different ones at different times. Every week they change up endlessly creative and delicious burgers. Want to know the best part? They had a burger called the Hammer of Thor..... it is my absolute favorite! It has brusselsprouts, chipotle cream cheese, bacon mayo, and pepper Jack. I used to check all 4 locations weekly to see where it was and would drive across town just to get it. But that best part I promised, they added it to the standard burgers they have all the time at all locations!!! So if you have perfected crazy cool burgers what is next? How about some of the best fries around and then just to make it impossible for anyone to ever come close to your level you creat multiple delicious dipping sauces from scratch. Trust me, do yourself a favor. Get Abe's sauce, then order an extra one cause you are going to want it. Then just for fun make great milkshakes that you can add booze to! This place is fantastic! read more

Honestly nothing really stood out as above average. We went in about 15 minutes before they closed and we could feel the annoyance of the staff that we came in before they'd closed. After we walked in, a few small groups came Behind us. Each time a group came in, someone would look out any angrily yell "2 more just came in...", "4 more just came in...". Just didn't feel very welcoming. Burger was very salty, and fries were ok. I don't think we will be back. read more

One of the best burgers I have ever had! I am from Omaha and I will definitely be making the hour drive to eat there again!

I came in at 8, my third time this week because I like the food so much. All of the employees were in the back so I had to wait a little bit, eventually moving so that they could see me through the doorway of the kitchen. A young man saw me and took a few minutes to come out, assuring me he'd be with me in one second. So I waited a few minutes longer for him to take care of the dining room before taking my order: Genghis Khan burger with the loaded fries and a bottled coke, which were all pretty good. On previous visits the young lady at the counter offered to open the bottle for me but not this time. I sat waiting on my food and when a young lady brought it to the table, I asked if she had a bottle opener and she quickly advised there was one o man the wall behind the soda fountain. So, okay, I s was able to open my drink. Usually I enjoy the music playing but tonight it was drowned out by the music coming from the kitchen. In my years managing, I've never allowed the back of house to interfere with guest experience, so I intended to speak with the manager before leaving; especially because the conversation spilling out was full of vulgar language. I don't know if there was an argument but there certainly was an abundance of F that, F you, motherFrs, and I do what the F I want. I should note that the only employee I saw on the floor working was the young man who had taken my order. The gentleman next to me having dinner with his family attempted to get someone's attention, having to poke his head in the kitchen, saying hello several times before being heard to request sauce. Another lady came out to make herself a drink and I recognized her voice from the cussing heard. As she made her drink she spoke with the young male employee and I could see that her eyes were nearly closed from a heavy smoke break. My suspicion was confirmed when she said she needed a lid for her drink and he pointed out that she was holding one in her hand. She laughed with embarrassment and thanked him for helping him find a lid for her. He joked that she was fired and said F that, you can't fire me, I'm your manager. I realized that speaking with her would be pointless. The biggest infraction, in my opinion, was the kitchen noise being obnoxiously loud during Prince's "Purple Rain", for which there is no excuse. This location has always been my least favorite in Lincoln, with the other two always being great experiences and well-mannered staff. It seems this one has a terrible manager who likes to hang out and is way too personal with her staff, especially being under the influence at work. I suppose I can drive a little further for a nice burger without the frustration. read more

OMG! So much salt I could barely tell what I was eating. The burger sounded great from the menu description, but it just tasted like salt... same with the fries. read more

Pretty solid burger joint and the burger didn't make you feel heavy after eating which to me indicates it being a good quality patty. I decided to go with their staple burger just so I could judge it and my friend got the fireside. I loved the decor here and read ever quote on every wall. It was a place that I'm glad I stopped by while passing through Lincoln. I would definitely come back if needing a burger and a good meal. Next time I need to try the shakes and dessert and try from their rotating menu of burgers. read more

I love Honest Abe's. Good fries, good burger! I've eaten here several times and never had any complaints. Sadly a couple days ago the server used his hands to pull my two cups apart (put hand inside of cup) and really turned me off from the drink. Food was good other than that. I would've rated it higher if he didn't do that! read more

Wow!! Arguably the BEST burger I've ever had. EVER. Many solid choices but the "all my ex's" looked best. Not sure why it's a rotating. It should be featured in my opinion. Oh yeah. The fries rock too. :) Only problem is I live in MN and not next door.... If you like a good quality excellent tasting burger you must go here! Do it now. read more

Extremely polite and helpful service- and even better food! Great place to stop on a cross country trip. So very worth it! The place was packed and were still incredibly fast to bring our orders to our table. Every seat was full and it quickly became standing room only. A Friday night rush didn't slow these folks down at all! We ordered 5 different burger combos and these folks managed to create and serve a very streamlined meal. The place filled up fast after we ordered but no one ever had to wait long to get a seat. The tables were cleaned immediately and the entire place operated like a well oiled machine. Everyone in my family ordered a different burger. One was for a gluten allergy- the GF bun was really good!-and there were no issues with anyone's order. I always try the unique options, so I had the peanut butter with grape jelly burger- called the Reading Rainbow! It was so very good! It sounds gnarly, but believe me, it is a hidden gem! I've tried it and liked it once before at a restaurant in Denver but this one was even better! read more

Good food but very salty and i like salt! Will ask for less seasoning next time. Fast service, interesting menu, loved having the option of tater tots or french fries. read more

one of the best burgers you can get in lincoln! every location offers different specialty burgers and their menu is constantly changing so you can try something new each time. also love the quirky vibes and abraham lincoln theme! i decided to try something new the last time i stopped in and went with their honest salad. it comes with a vegan patty but you can sub it out for a beef patty, which i did. the salad was so good and perfectly balanced! loved the roasted red peppers and pickled red onion. and while i ordered the ranch with it, i ended up stealing my boyfriend's abe's sauce because the curry flavor went so well with the salad! the fries here are also show stoppers and they have boozy milkshakes too! read more

Honest Abe's - The Honest Salad - Burgers Near Me - Lincoln, Nebraska

Cute place for a history buff with awesome burgers! The prices have went up a bit since the prices were last posted on Yelp, so just be aware, but that makes sense as the price of everything rises. ($20 for just 2 burgers, no sides, no drinks). We both enjoyed our burgers. The place was slammed on a Saturday afternoon and we had quite a long wait, but they are busy for a reason! I want to come back and try a different burger, and fries, and a shake! read more

Anyone else happen to notice that 98% of the reviews for this dump are from people out of town and most being out of state? The reviews from most of the people in Lincoln are poor. Almost like an owner or manager has people on their facebook friends list leaving 5 star positive reviews. That isnt my experience by any stretch of the imagination, read the local reviews if you want the truth about this place. This was the absolute worst hamburger i have ever eatin in my entire life. It was greasy, the bun was grease soaked, and it literally tasted like.... not hamburger Well you can use your imagination, it was not good by any stretch of the imagination. I would not eat here again if management gave me a weeks worth of free hamburgers, im being 100% serious, it was that bad. The wait was also beyond rediculous. read more
