The Philly is excellent. The burgers are excellent. The gyros are excellent. The chicken tenders are excellent. And their daily special is usually even better. You get the point. Eat here.

Jamie White

After you've tried everything on the menu ALWAYS get the special! Gangsta Fries are where it's at. Fries , Ghetto Sauce, pork rinds & scallions . Also, during dinner always get the Snails in Fun Ways!!!

James Cholewa

The special. The menu is fantastic but always get the special. If you're hungry upgrade your fries . Easily the best restaurant in Omaha when you consider value for service, speed, ingredient quality

KT Florida

Gangsta fries were pretty delicious

Jamie White

You can never go wrong with the special of the day. If you're looking for fun, creative food, you're in the right place. Highlights on reg menu: phillies, poutine & pork roll & chicken sammich !

Jessi Egnor

The specials here are great. Today I had the crispy pork belly on a roll with carnita style pork shoulder . These people aren't afraid to be adventurous. It was amazing. Their fries are the best too.

Derek Eskens

Alton Brown thinks they have a pretty good burger . Try the Croque Garçon burger if they have it (but they are all good).

Ruth Tupe

Get poutine ! Recipe from one of the Canadian cofounders so you know it’s legit. Burgers are really good quality and totally a bargain

Megan P.

On rare occasions when the special doesn't sound good to me, the fried chicken with a side salad is my go-to. I will gladly trade caloric intake for that deliciousness.

Dalton Spear

Nice cheesesteak and seasoned fries options. Stand in line and order kind of place with undersized seating and hard to get a refill but great menu options

Madison Denkinger

Have only been there once but am dying to go back after the amazing meal I had. I ordered the special grilled cheese of the day and no grilled cheese will ever compare.

Brianne Wyatt

Vegan gyro is incredible. For being a cook myself and a vegan i was insanely impressed at how delicious the vegan option/options were. I will be back so good!

T-Rave

Great food every day. Make sure to check their FB page each day for a special menu item. Gangsta fries are a must.

Ray L. Curtis

Call in or on-line order if wanting to go quick. Otherwise, get a beer & a seat for fresh delicious food !!

Heidi Kang

Best burger in town ! Also their French fries and dipping sauce are so good! The owners Jess and Paul are super nice too!

Dustin Walker

Croque Garcon is crazy good. Come with an appetite and get ready to be swept away into sandwich heaven.

Nick

Poutine is the best in town . Maybe the best anywhere. Definitely the best I've had!

Adam Bowman

Also loved that meatless options were presented as options right along with chicken and beef , not on some weirdo sub-menu where everything is on a bizarre nut covered wheat bun and drowned in spouts.

Sarah Urban-Nommensen

Everything is freaking delicious!!! I always love the special but their new Blox Sandwich was unbelievable!!!!!!!

Sam Constance

Be prepared to wait in line since you order at a counter. Also be prepared for the wait to be well worth it.

Mike Decker

One of the best lunch time venues in town . Burgers and Sandwiches are top notch. Daily specials are what keep me coming back.

Paul Grimmond

We love the creative experimentation that comes from mixing “high” and “low” food concepts.

Kim Sleeper

The Dragon Fries are easily the best thing on the menu! This is also a great place for vegetarians

Marc

Ariel Welch

Had the vegan dragon wrap - absolutely perfect.

Betsy Gast

Seating can be limited so there might be a line . Great sandwiches and loaded fries !

Jeremy Kalina

Don't forget Hair of the Dawg Saturdays! $1 of every booze purchase goes to The Nebraska Humane Society!

Ross Boettcher

Delicious. Affordable. If you're unsure what you want, get the special as it always seems to be something tasty.

Adam Bowman

So good! Vegan Philly and Gyro were perfect. We'll be back, and back, and back. Super friendly staff too. Loved it.

Derek Eskens

Get the Special. It doesn't really matter what it is, just get it. It's usually the tastiest item and the best value.

Lahaina Guale

Try their specials, if not then their duck duck goose fries are yummy

Kyle Cole

Like how diverse their menu is. Really good gyros also!

Jenny L.

The pulled pork roll was life changing

Chet Coenen

Some of he best burgers in Omaha!

Sara

Holy Wowzas!!!! The featured dog is so outstanding every single time!! I know hot dogs . Try one!

Chloe Karr

Authentic poutine ! It's not healthy, but it is worth your arteries hating you for a day.

Adam Podraza

Most underrated place in Omaha. Vegan Gyro is to DIE for even if you aren't vegan !

Lauren Sloan

Best food on our entire road trip and we got it to go!

Scott Hale

Excellent steak philly and the pulled pork York roll will get your mouth watering.

Jimmy Mouton

Gangsta fries are not to be messed with. No sudden movements and don't steal off my plate and everyone will be safe.

Travis Sanders

Great food! The 3 Happiness Burger is amazing!

Justin C

Steak Philly is awesome, especially with the fry sauce on it.

Word on the street is to always get the special. I have a hard time getting past the gyro salad

Never had anything bad. Wish they had more seating though
