Stella's Bar & Grill

Stella's is always a pleasure to visit. Best fries anywhere! It is a bar and grill, but absolutely family friendly. I personally have been going here for 18 years now. If you have not been given a try today!

My husband and I came to Stella’s years ago. We couldn’t stop thinking of it. We had to visit it while we were in town. The burgers were cooked well, juicy, and tasted great. The fries were hand cut and fresh. I wouldn’t say they were out- of-this world. They were made fresh and the place felt homey. We would definitely come again. So good. It is a little pricey though.

I know so many people in the Omaha area swear by this restaurant and my husband likes it, but it was just okay for me. We had to wait about 30 minutes for a seat, but you are able to wait in your own car so I didn't mind that at all. The service wasn't great- our waitress was grumpy and not pleasant to deal with. The food was just ok- no better than any other diner burger I've ever had. The do serve Red Bull, which was great!

I had the mushroom, Swiss burger and onion rings. They make a fantastic burger. Very filling. Perfectly cooked. Got there at 6 PM. Right in the middle of dinner rush. Only had to wait 20 minutes for a table. If you are in the Omaha area, it is definitely worth stopping in. Amazed what they can do with such a small kitchen.

Burgers were cooked to perfection. The sides were of wonderful portions and the service was very good. Loved the atmosphere.

Very good food and service! Prices are fantastic as well. The onion rings are very crisp and the fries are lightly salted. The burgers are great, the buns are fresh as well as the vegetables on it. I highly recommend trying the food here if you’re in town!

A really good and affordable burger! We had to wait about 30 minutes to get in, but once inside we had prompt service and enjoyed some really good food. If there's no wait, definitely stop in. They have a little waiting area outside as well. Great value for the food, and the flavors were great. Fries were a little soggy but fine.

Great find at recommendation of a friend. Burgers were good (the double make sure you bring your appetite). Smaller restaurant, indoor and outdoor seating. Get your name on list and wait in your car if very busy

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. Just typing this out makes me my mouth water. It's a very homey feel and busy. You can tell it's a good place just from how busy it gets. And all the waitresses work so hard and are all amazing at their jobs.

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!

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.

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 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 :)

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.

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

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!

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.

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.

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!

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?

The way this burger has me daydreaming about it even now...Stella's warrants best burger consideration. The burger and fries are just tasty. Prices are right and ambience is casual and cool. Parking right outside the building.

I love this place! I've been here so many times and my favorite thing is the staple burger. They always bring out the food very quickly and are very nice. They are also a sports bar which is fun to just watch a game while you're there.

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.

We have eaten there many times. Last 2x's not good. Last time hamburgers not so great. ( both) times carry outs. This ordered mushroom burger with grilled onions. Got thick cut raw hot onions. Ordered fries. Greasy, soaked in grease fries, our what we ended up with! What happened, that was our go to burger joint more than any place. Probably won't be back for a while. Sorry! Our lunch treat turned into stomach pains.

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. If I'm ever in the Omaha area, I will definitely be trying to stop by again. If you haven't been to Stella's, it is worth the trip!

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!!

Wonderful burgers! Family atmosphere. Portions are generous. Wait staff is absolutely the best! My go to place for mushroom Swiss burgers and brisket burgers. The best fried pickles around. My grand daughters loved this place.

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!

The food was amazing the staff were super welcoming and accommodating, the service was very fast and very helpful, the ambiance of the place is amazing the place is clean and well lit!

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

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!

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

Stella's has been a staple go-to burger spot since we learned about it from family friends years ago. Their burgers are huge and their sides are always fresh and piping hot out of the fryer. Service has always been "stella" (dad jokes), and super fast. We never wait more than 5-10 minutes for our food. There is usually a 20-30 minute wait to get in, but it's well worth it. Seating has always been good, you either get a booth or table. It is a smaller establishment, but this appeals to us. Small, local business that has been serving great burgers for years. Check it out!

This is such a good spot if you're looking for a burger that tastes like you've made it at home! It reminds me of grilling with my family growing up. A cute spot to try if you're in Bellevue!

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!

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.

Decided to try Stella's after hearing that it has the best burgers in the area. I went in with high expectations and left let down. I went on a Saturday evening and it was busy- so had to wait about 20 minutes to get seated and another 30 to get the food. We ordered the double cheeseburger and Swiss mushroom burger with sides of onion rings and fried pickle chips. I'm not sure if the food we got was a fluke and not representative of their normal burgers, but my burger was not hot at all- the cheese was not melted either. So my patty was dry, cool temperature, and lacked much flavor. I feel like eating temperature of food is very important and should be warm or hot when it arrives. I struggled to finish it. The cheeseburger was warmer, which made it better, but still felt that the meat lacked in juiciness and flavor. The onion rings and fried pickle chips were the only things that felt "fresh" and hot. Overall, I felt the food was disappointing and will likely not return.

Our server lady Austine was noticeably drunk and smelled like alcohol. We will not be returning.

This place is a hidden gem!! Amazing burgers and friendly service. We make this place a go to stop. Our favorite is the Stella staple burger with onion rings or fried pickles! Recently we also tried the Watermelon mint boozy lemonade and the exact words out of our mouths after trying a sip were "this is magically delicious" as well as "this is refreshing as f***!!" Needless to say, the food and drinks are wonderful!! Make a stop at Stella's!

There's something about a cold bun that makes the burger mediocre. I love the atmosphere, service and onion rings! The variety of toppings are amazing. Not sure if they have changed cooks, but past 2 buns haven't even been warm.

The food is delicious and you can't go wrong with any of the burgers or your own creation! The burger doesn't come with fries so be sure to order a side if you want fries. The prices are phenomenal which is a huge draw too. The service was great with frequent check-ins to make sure we were all good. The restaurant is slightly small considering how busy it always is, but the environment is great for a small town bar and grill.

Travel a lot for work and this place was recommended often by locals. It's a casual mom and pop spot. The burger was a bit overpriced for me considering it's the type of burger you can make at home. Overall good experience and would go again.

Best burger I've had in a long time. Their bbq brisket burger is absolutely delicious - 10/10 recommend

By far the best burger in Nebraska. The Stella's Staple Burger was amazing and my wife enjoyed her BLT. The only downside to this place is it's always busy.

Definitely the best burger joint I have ever been to in my 65 yrs of life. Not just one waitress makes sure all is good at your table either. You are checked on by others, and they are so kind about it. Had to wait 15 min to get a seat but didn't mind at all. Prompt on getting your order. Food came out in good time. Burger was slightly crisp on outside, tender and juicy on the inside. Perfection in my book! I'm returning Feb 11 to eat again and get a purple t-shirt. Definitely on my faves list now when I got to the city.

Hands down best burgers in the metropolitan area!! Great pricing for large quantity and great quality. A burger will fill me up at lunch while still having leftovers for dinner. Service is always quick and efficient. Easily best place in town for American food :) I don't repeat many restaurants but go here at least once a month! If you're looking for good burgers in the Omaha area THIS IS THE PLACE!! (I promise the drive will be worth it)

Can't beat the Brisket Burger and BBQ sauce on side for dipping! And Fresh hot crisps

Very good. The staff was nice. The food was good. The burgers were big. The fried ice cream was very good. Fries are separate from burger. Loved the unlimited Pepsi products. It was quiet in the room we were in but it was nice because we (group of 10) had a very chaotic day.

Perfect parking ..order ahead it's quite busy..very small kind of loud inside but outside seating more of a "order to go" for us ..brisket burger was fresh and delicious..kids meal bun didn't feel fresh, came with sweet potato fries and drink..good price though. Good neighborhood stop in

We were greeted and seated as soon as we entered. This is a nice little pub, local feel. Asked the waitress for recommendations on what to try. We both went with hers and ordered Stella's staple burger with everything on it, bacon, egg, tomato, onion and mayo. It was delicious. Our own personal preference, we would of liked a toasted bun and we like our egg to be a bit runny, not hard. Otherwise it was almost perfect. Good flavor. We also ordered some sweet potato waffle fries and my husband had a Stella draw.

Decided to make the drive from downtown Omaha to Bellevue to try out what was considered one of the top burgers in the area. Was excited based on articles and reviews for Stella's Bar and Grill but it missed the mark for me. The cheeseburger was pretty flavorless and bland. Not sure if it was a one off situation or an off day, but it was pretty mediocre. It's a juicy burger no doubt, but some salt could go a long way. Decent burger, but not sure I'd make the trek again if I'm in town and would choose elsewhere for a good burger

Had lunch here the other day and it's still one of the best burgers in town! Service was excellent. No military or senior discount.

Fast service, great burgers! My coworkers and I showed up at lunch time and there was a 30 minute wait. To me, that's a sign that it's worth it! So we waited. They got a phone number so it was just an easy text when our table was ready. We got our orders in quickly, food came out fast, and tasted great! My coworker decided he likes it here better than Sickie's, which was his previous favorite. The double was huge so don't order it unless you haven't eaten all day!

I've been here a few times since my last review. Had some hiccups on each visit. This last visit was really bad. To start, they messed up the order. Not too bad, just the wrong cheese on two of the cheeseburgers. I ordered pepper Jack, but they gave me f-ng American cheese. I absolutely despise American cheese. It's not even real cheese. I've lost a little respect for Stella's just knowing they use American cheese. The burgers were over cooked, and dried out. The fries were under cooked, and terrible. The center of a couple of fries were raw. I'm not a fan of biting into a raw potato... Overall, a star off for a terrible meal, and a star off for inconsistency.

Sometimes all you need is simple, great tasting food! That is what Stella's is, a local burger joint with a straightforward menu with an additional list of toppings you can add to any burger as well as their signature burgers. A lot of items are a la carte so you will have to order a side separately , which to me is no big deal. What is a big deal is their delicious onion rings! Wish I could try them again for the first time, definitely worth it to get as an appetizer or a side. The service is prompt, attentive, and friendly! There are a good amount of TVs playing live sports in case that is what you're looking for as well as bar seating. Their drink menu is great and has a great variety of drink specials as well! Overall, it's a nice place to get any great sandwich, I have yet to get something on the menu I don't like! Give this place a try, you won't regret it!

If you like flavor, Stella's is not the place for you. I am not a local. I travel the Nevada every now and again. I have heard about Stella's through a family member so I decided to stop by. This is my second time trying out their "Famous" burgers. Price: $19 Order: The Pastrami Burger w/fries Location: Accessible, tight parking lot but not too bad Service: 2/10 - The workers don't care about you or their job. No smile or no small talk. They are just there to do the bare minimum and go home. Food: 0/10 Trash. Just.....trash. No seasoning in the meat. Not even salt. Just cooked ground beef. The pastrami had no flavor, it main purpose was to fill up space in the burger. Matter of fact the raw ONIONS had more flavor than the whole burger. Fries had no salt. Bland. Plus they only give you less than a handful of it. Honestly, Culver's basic cheeseburger would be better than one of Stalla's famous burgers. Plus it would be cheaper. This is the last time I am Giving Stella a chance and will be giving people my honest opinion about the service and food.

Best burger I've ever had! I travel quite often and have found that hole in the walls have the best food..Stella did not disappoint. I had a burger and onion rings. They were both amazing. I can't wait to go back. The patrons who appeared to be local were very friendly. So was the staff. The food came out fast and was fresh.
