    Onion rings
    Jenny S.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    We have been trying to come here for awhile now. It is usually pretty busy, rightfully so, the food is awesome! Burgers, fries and onion rings are all very flavorful and not greasy.

    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.

    This is their typical burger.  Sorry, the fries were so good, I ate over half of them before taking the picture.

    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.

    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.

    Food is always great here, quick service once you get seated and affordable for eating out. I always get the Stella's staple burger and it's my favorite. This neighborhood burger joint always feels like a warm hug and hits the spot. Would recommend for a classic burger experience! PS the sweet potato fries are amazing!

    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!!

    I got the Stella's staple burger and it was one of the best burgers I have ever had. The service was also good considering how busy it was. It's not very big inside so there might be a wait, but it's worth the wait for sure.

    Did Stella's in Bellevue change their french fry preparation? I thought they used fresh cut potatoes?

    We still use fresh cut fries. Although we no longer cut them on site, we have them delivered every morning from a local produce supplier. There have only been two days that we had to revert to frozen fries because our shipment of fresh cut…

This place is pretty old school inside so with that in mind dont get all dressed up to come here and dance. Yep you'll sit on some cracked vinyl seats but guess what you'll have some cheap drinks and interesting conversations. The interior is split where you have the bar and a handful of tall tables with 6 seats a piece and then a few smaller tables with 4 seats. The other side separated by a lil wall has some gambling games and pool tables. That side also has the sound system and can get a little rowdy depending on the time of day. I have come here on a few occasions at different times of the day to get somewhat of a pulse. To me it seemed to be busy right around the 3 to 4pm time but not the rowdy group playing pool. Just older folk talking about the day or tall tales! Around 7pm you could either walk in to only 4 people being here or groups going at it on the pool tables. Whatever your poison this place is pretty chill i would say 75% of the time. The bartenders always seem to be busting their butts running the bar and keno machine. I will certainly be back!

We all arrived at different times, and since it's a seat-yourself kind of place, we found a few large tables in the back that worked perfectly for our group. We were greeted quickly, and drink orders were taken right away. I went with a Diet Coke, which hit the spot. After giving our chatty group a few minutes to browse the menu, our server came back to take orders. I decided on the Cornhusker Chicken Sandwich with a side of honey mustard and extra-crispy tots. Around the table, there was a nice mix of burgers, melts, and wings. There is truly something for everyone. The food came out fast, hot, and fresh. My sandwich was so good. It was one of the better chicken sandwiches I've had in a long time. I skipped the shaved ham, and honestly, I didn't miss it at all. The flavors stood perfectly on their own. Everyone at the table seemed to love their meals, and the conversation flowed easily as we laughed and reminisced. Our server did an excellent job keeping drinks topped off and plates cleared without ever making us feel rushed. Whether you're stopping in with a small group or a big crowd, DJ's Dugout knows how to make everyone feel welcome. Great food, great service, and a great time!
