“ Please don't be scared if there's a line out the door, this place is worth it. From the all compostable dishes and plastic ware to the art on the walls, this place has my heart and I haven't even begun talking about the food. Each bite was delicious and had me wanting another. I'd have to say the Rangoon fries were my favorite. This was a wonderful place to bring my family while they were visiting. The menu has a wide variety of unique creations for everyone and their cravings that are worth standing in line for!! ”
“ Came to Omaha to visit family and I saw this spot on Social Media and I had to come. This spot is kinda hidden from the street so you'll have to look for the big 16. The service was wonderful. They helped me picked which dishes to get. The food was pretty good as well. The burger was juice and the loaded crab Rangoon fries is a m ”
“ This walk in sandwich stop came with high praise from the locals. The food was hot and delicious! However, it's a very casual seating area and it's all self service. The Dragon Fries were tasty as was the Croquet Garçon Burger was fresh. Recommend for a causal lunch or dinner. ”
“ We were going to a show at the Orpheum and heard this is the place to go! This classic, yet elevated, burger joint should be on your Omaha list of places to try. There is a wide selection of burgers to fit every taste and you'll have your burger (or chicken sandwich) in about 15-20 minutes with some very fast service. This is nothing fancy, but it has exactly what you need. Very basic and disjointed vibe but when you have such good food, you don't need anything fancy. There is no call ahead seating and it has a 'seat yourself' area. Get there early to get a spot to enjoy some great food. ”
“ I can say with 100% confidence that Block 16 is my favorite restaurant in Omaha. I CRAVE the poutine burrito and crab rangoon fries. I struggle to try new things there because I love that dang burrito so much! Everything else I have had there has been fantastic, i've never been disappointed by them. The specials are always fun and unique. The staff is always helpful and kind. Everyone puts their heart and soul into this place and it shows. I will always recommend Block 16 to anyone!! ”
“ Block 16 is downright delicious. My husband and I got takeout from here recently and had planned on keeping leftovers for the next day's meal...and there were no leftovers. We licked the containers clean! I got a seitan dragon wrap, my husband got a vegetarian version of the poutine burrito, and we got a side of the funky fungi fries to share. The dragon wrap is SO good and the sauce that's on it makes it tangy and a little sweet. My introduction to seitan was when I got this wrap for the first time many years ago and it it still my favorite way to eat it. Everything about this wrap is a yes. I also got a taste of the poutine burrito - I'm not sure what protein or steak-replacement they use for the vegetarian version but it wasn't my favorite personally as a lifelong vegetarian. The burrito as a whole was super savory and the gravy and cheese curds were an instant win. The dragon wrap wins by a very slight margin, but this burrito can definitely hold its own! The fries were surprisingly tasty as someone who doesn't love mushrooms. They're fried and seasoned so well! The only other criticism I have are that the whole meal was fairly salty. I look forward to coming back for that dragon wrap and maybe I'll double the dragon and get the dragon fries as a side too! ”
“ Absolutely delicious. They automatically get 5 stars because they created french fries that were not only odd and different, but blew us away with how delicious they were. Unfortunately, they were out of the funky fungi fries we wanted to try, however, the Dragon Fries are a must try and won us over. The Block 16 Burger was so juicy and delicious. A perfect compliment to the dragon fries. The Service was pretty spectacular for being incredibly busy during a Saturday lunch rush. We put in for a to-go order while the line was out the door, and still received our food in a decent amount of time, about 15 min. There is plenty or indoor seating and even some patio seating if you like to sit in the heat of summer. A quaint little place, but they are super popular and for a good reason. I would come back again and again! ”
“ Just about the time it died down in the restaurant we realized they were closed. Expect to wait... but as the saying goes, good things come to those who wait. They made it clear of the wait up front, and I never felt like the restaurant staff was 'slacking'. They are in high demand because the food is unique, and worth the wait. Give it a shot. The ambiance has a nice vibe as well. ”
“ Their specials are to die for! My husband and I have actually taken time off work to get their spaghetti burrito. Another highlight for me is the moist maker sandwich around thanksgiving. Everything I have ordered off their regular menu has been great as well. Expect to not finish anything you order! My husband and I normally end up splitting a combo . There is normally a line so plan ahead to wait a bit. ”
