Stella's remains our favorite burger restaurant in the greater Omaha metro area. Stella's did have a fire. Yes, they are rebuilding. Stella's does have a pop up restaurant operating in the Bellevue Eagles Club located on Mission Ave in Olde Town Bellevue. See their Facebook Site for the days and times of operation. Generally, only open for lunch. Same great burgers and fries. Go visit them at their temporary location read more

Really good cheeseburgers. Decent service. Too crowded and I don't like the no plate thing. Serving a greasy burger on a napkin is hard to deal with plus the Ambiance/atmosphere isn't great so we take-out! Other people may love the crowded, greasy bar feels, just not for me. read more

I can't explain how much I love the veggie burger! Everyone else gets delicious burgers but it's veggie burger and sweet potato fries for me! Yummy read more

Went for dinner with friends and had a bit of a wait, but that is to be expected at such a small, quaint spot that is always packed and for good reason. I had a delicious burger and my husband went for a double with onion rings. I chose sweet potato fries with extra toppings and everything was perfection. Service was fast and friendly, our drinks stayed topped off, and we left with full bellies and happy spirits. read more

A small joint but don't be fooled. This place is packed with Big flavor! Side note they have a crazy big burger challenge for those who are willing to try it! New to Nebraska and we heard this was the IT place for a burger. Service was fantastic and super helpful in giving the daily special which obviously changes daily unlike some places. Also they opened at 11 and we arrived at 1115 and the parking lot was almost full so it's definitely a hopping spot. Everything is a la carte but a good bit is given for your side items. I had the burger of the day the Donut burger and added lettuce, tomato, and onion. My husband had the mushroom Swiss. We did a side of fries and waffle sweet potato fries Everything was delicious! Currently decorated for Christmas and it really had my little one so happy. Everyone was pleasant and kind. read more

Okay wow, how have I not been here yet? The prices are such a good deal and the food isn't fancy, but if you're in the mood for a burger or some basic bar food, this is the spot. Definitely order the fried pickles - some of my favorite I've had in Omaha. It does get busy so opt for an earlier or late dinner when possible. read more

Stella's has earned many awards over the years and those are proudly noted on a card kept with the menus on each table. It had been on my list of places to try for some time -- and now I was in the area at lunchtime... With expectations high, I was ready for a great meal. Sadly, my experience fell short of the mark. I like the fact that their hamburger meat is never frozen and is hand-smashed on the grill. I like that they serve them "with everything" and clearly state that means lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, and mayo. So why then, are there additional charges for a long list of toppings? You have to pay extra to 'have it your way'. With hindsight, I suppose I should have ordered one of the specialty burgers. But I wanted to taste their basic burger on its own merits (I did splurge for the grilled onions; but they were scantly there). It was a good, solid burger and I enjoyed it. Nevertheless, it fell short of any "best burger" claims. Since I was born in Idaho, I was excited to see that the fries were touted as being from hand-cut, fresh Idaho potatoes. That is the gold standard for fries. Sadly, the fries were disappointing -- mostly soggy, some were somewhat blackened. Overpriced too. 3 stars at most for those fries. On the other hand, service was great while the vibe and atmosphere were super. Those factors salvaged my overall rating of 4 stars. read more

Great little place, very quaint and friendly. I ordered the patty melt, which let's face it, people who order patty melts know that it's only going to come one of two ways. Either amazingly good, or dry and tasteless. Unfortunately, mine was dry and tasteless. The fries were great, the fried mushrooms were amazing , and everyone else in our party loved their burgers. I gambled and lost, but I will definitely go back and try something else. I'm still giving Stella's Bar and Grill four stars! read more

Vegetarian here! Stellas is a great spot for vegetarians with a group of hungry carnivores. You can swap the patty on any of their burgers. They have an Impossible as well a Veggie patty depending what you're going for. I really like the veggie patty - it sticks together (sooo important) and tastes good without overwhelming the full burger set up. Is it probably frozen? Yes. Is it still delicious? Absolutely!!! Burgers do not come with sides so you'll order those separately. We usually get 1 side per 2 people unless we're over the top hungry. We stopped by at 4PM on a Saturday and were able to sit down right away. If you're with a larger group or during dinner time expect to wait outside or in your car until a table is ready. The place is pretty small and that helps keep it enjoyable for everyone. All the waitstaff were fantastic and very quick to turn over tables! Parking lot is available but is proportional to their seating. Rule of thumb if you can't find a spot the wait is probably longer than you want to endure. read more

The burgers and service here is so good. We had to wait about 15 minutes to get our table which was more than reasonable for a Friday at 5:45. The staff was quick to get our order and quick to bring it fresh to our table. Definitely recommend. read more

Stella's is a staple in Bellevue and has been for a while with good reason! The burgers are cooked to juicy perfection as the main attraction, meaning you can leave satisfied with just a plain cheeseburger or hamburger. Then, they kick it up a notch with different pairings that work to completely elevate the burgers. I don't think you can go wrong with ordering anything. The final stamp of amazing is the service. We went on Monday night, which was still busy, but the receptionist was great. We ordered and got our food within 20-30 minutes. Stella's remains the number one burger joint in the area for good reason. read more

I have been going to Stella's since I was able to eat solid food, so around 68 years or so. My dad was an original Stella's patron. The menu has developed over the years. Originally it was burgers and fries. If you want to experience a hamburger that not a frozen patty and fresh cut French fries this is the place to go. Their patties are 6 oz with a variety of toppings to choose from. There is also a kids menu. They have a full service bar, just don't expect frozen drinks. The service is good, the wait staff is friendly and check your table often throughout the meal. Typical low-key bar atmosphere, but they do not stay open as late as legally allowed. read more

Stella's Bar and Grill - This is their typical burger. Sorry, the fries were so good, I ate over half of them before taking the picture. - Bars Near Me - Bellevue, Nebraska

The only flavor this burger had was battery acid. Tried this burger joint 3 times and each time i have been disappointed. There patties don't even have SALT and PEPPER. I will never return to this overhyped burger joint. I'd rather have a double cheese burger from McDonalds. And the service was absolute trash. Dirty looks and 1 question every 30 minutes is not worth paying OVER $30 dollars for. read more

Went here with a coworker for dinner, we sat at the bar. Definitely had a small town vibe to it. I had their veggie burger, it was pretty good! I also had some fries, half sweet potato waffle fries. I love that you can do that, why not? Generous portion and price was great! Super friendly and helpful bartender. Forgot to take pics! read more

I finally got to take my family to try the famous Stella burgers!! It's a staple in Nebraska, so if you're ever in the Bellevue area, PUT THIS ON YOUR BUCKET LIST!!! They have daily specials and apparently secret monthly specials. We didn't notice the box of donuts until after we ordered, and guess they had a donut bun burger that was on the secret menu. Too secret so we found out too late ...lol. But y'all, the pastrami burger was outstanding!! They are pretty massive, so Hubby and I split one, then when we were deciding on either sweet potato waffle fries or onion rings, we were informed that you could get a half & half. Yassssss!!! Both were crispy and crunchy and enough of both to be satisfied. Loved it!! The kid' meals came with decent sized burgers, lots of fries and a drink. They were both half way through the burgers before they got full. Always makes me happy when they're happy. To quote my son when he saw the burger, "Let's GOOOOOO!" Haha Definitely an older building but plenty of parking. Inside is quaint, so if it gets busy, might have to wait a minute. It's a gem, and I grew up on these burgers, so y'all need to come through!! read more

Known for some of the best burgers in Nebraska for a reason! The sweet potato fries were absolutely smackin' too. I love that they have sweet tea (although I had a Modelo instead). The price was also decent, it kinda surprised me that it was so worth it. At first I kinda felt like the server was a bit irritated by something, but at the same time it was just after peak lunch service on a Saturday and she seemed like a good no-bullshit bar manager, she was very quick and did her job very naturally. Surprised they still have such a small space for how popular this spot is. 4.5/5 read more

I was told about this place from several friends and one daughter, I only regret that we haven't gone sooner. Because, it has lived up to the rumors I've been told. The employees were so nice and the service was really good. It is tiny compared to many of todays chain restaurants, but the food is definitely worth the trip! My wife had a cheeseburger and there was nothing regular about it, I am unsure how much meat is actually on it, (1/2 pound, I'm not sure), but it was cooked perfectly. I had the Bacon & Blue burger, same meat patty, with blue cheese crumbles and bacon that wasn't over or under -cooked. The Sweet Potato Waffle Fries were very good, and I'm generally not a fan of those. I definitely would recommend Stella's bar & grill! read more

The staple burger is worth the hype!! It was cooked perfectly along with the waffle fries. If you like ranch - the ranch was also amazing!! Stopped here for a quick bite on a Wednesday night and was surprised by how busy it was! There was a 10-15 min wait but the staff sat us & served us quickly! Great energy, hometown favorite feel, and great priced food! Wish it was a bit bigger so they could seat more people but also the smaller sized venue adds to the appeal/vibe! Will recommend to friends & family :) read more

Got seated and service was a little slow but once our waitress realized it, she was quick to rectify the situation and was extremely apologetic and helpful throughout our meal. Burgers are fantastic. Absolutely love them. Busy place but very relaxing to enjoy a meal. Been here twice now and both times have been great. Great food. Great staff. Thank you, Stella's....hope to see you again soon read more

Made it here twice last week, both for lunch, an early and a late. Had a double the first time and a triple the second, both fantastic! I found out you have get a 'half and half', half fries and half rings. The service was excellent. read more

If you want to go to dinner here definitely get there earlier then later. Stella's is amazing! Their burgers are so good. I get their sweet potato waffle fries with ranch on the side.

And all the waitresses work so hard and are all amazing at their jobs. read more

The food was amazing the portions perfect the setting calming really great place to eat and good comfort. The service Amazing!!

I brought my son here since he had never tried it and heard some good reviews and he 100% loved it. This is definitely our new go to burger place. They have quality food with amazing flavor. My son also wants to try their burger challenge. So we will be back and I will leave a review for that and when we do it. Love the delicious burgers at an affordable price. read more

Great burgers, every option you can think of. I got jalapeño bacon and pepper jack cheese. The bacon wasn't spicy enough to tell any difference... but it was thick, crunchy and bacony! They fries are great, using real potatoes. The onion rings are good too. My family wasn't a fan of the fried mushrooms. They had a nice coating/batter but the mushrooms were slimy inside. This place is packed during regular lunch hours, but head there on an off hours OR when the Huskers are playing and you'll be seated right away! read more

I recently made the trip to Stella's purely to attempt their infamous Stellanator challenge. While they do require a reservation for this, I called and they more than gracious to set up a time with me. When I arrived, the staffed was excited and offered me a great table, helped me get set up and explained everything to me. The restaurant was pretty quiet because it was before dinner time, but was very welcoming. The burger itself was monstrous pictures do not do it justice. But was prepared perfectly. I would definitely go back for a regular burger or anything else in the menu. Thank you Stella's read more

Easily the worst burgers we've ever had. Dry and flavorless burgers. Soggy fries. Do not buy into the "hype" of this place. People only like it because they've never had any other burger or real food in their lives. We were seated across a group of people celebrating a birthday. Who on earth would choose to celebrate their birthday here? read more

Stella's rarely disappoints. It's been a family favorite for years. It's shameful that I'm only now getting around to writing a review. The burger never changes. It's juicy, but not so wet that the bun melts. The ground beef is seasoned properly and is formed to perfectly fit the always-fresh bun. It's hard for even a big mouth to navigate the double, but someday, I'm going to climb that triple. Lettuce, tomato, and onion -- brilliantly -- are placed on the bottom, so the first thing one tastes is the star of the show (the meat) embellished appropriately by the supporting ingredients. The fries are perfect, similar to Bronco's, charred intermittently, but curiously retaining just enough moisture so they don't become hard. We shared some onion rings and fried mushrooms. The rings were primo though a bit too hard, probably left in the fryer too long. Conversely, the mushrooms came out of the pool too soon. Several were cold on the inside. I got a couple of the cold ones as did my son. The appetizer missteps aside, it was another winning visit to one of our favorite local burger hangouts. A burger this iconic will not be harmed by a couple of starter stumbles. Go, Stellas's! read more

I visited Stella's a little while back when my sister was visiting town, as we both love a good burger and heard great things about Stella's. Parking was easy with a big lot outside, and despite arriving on the early side for dinner, it was already quite busy. At times you may have to wait a bit for a table, so be prepared for that or call ahead for a takeout order. We were able to get seats at the bar, and the bartender was friendly. Our food came out fast, which was great. We each ordered a cheeseburger, which were really good and we got them with all the toppings that they come with. The burgers were just a good, simple, classic burger, and are a pretty good price for the size. The atmosphere is a very casual, neighborhood burger place. I believe they have outdoor seating as well, which is great for nice weather days. We really enjoyed our food and will definitely return! read more

The burgers and onion rings are great, so is the service. The only thing that I would even slightly have a problem with and it's a preference of mine is there French fries. I prefer crispy French fries and thats not the kind they offer. read more

Tried Stella's while visiting from out of town and wish I could come back. It's a cute place, not a lot of seats. But whatever the wait, it is worth it. What an outstanding burger! I had the Stella's staple and I'd order it again in a heartbeat. The service was super friendly and quick. And you can't beat the price! A burger like this is usually way more.
