Dinkers Bar

We had read online that the "best burgers in Omaha" were at Dinkers Bar so we decided to check them out. Before leaving, we looked at the menu and I was very excited to see that Dinkers served chicken gizzards. Shane was excited about the "world-famous" onion rings featured on the menu. 

Dinkers was located on a street with limited parking, and many people parked along the side of the building by driving over a curb. You place your food order at the back of the restaurant and are given a table number for a server to bring you your food. All drink orders must be placed at the bar, and Dinkers only accepts cash. 



We ordered an appetizer of chicken gizzards, which were perfectly spicy and served with either homemade ranch, bbq sauce, or honey mustard. We ordered both ranch and bbq, but the gizzards were good enough be eaten on their own without any sauce. These gizzards were only $6 and can only be ordered after 5pm.




 Shane ordered the Haystack Burger, which was a juicy medium burger topped with a slice of honey smoked ham, American cheese, and a fried egg. Shane added all the fixings to his burger, he says that it was good, but that the cheese, ham, and egg did nothing to make it "best burger" quality. 


Shane also ordered onion rings, which were supposed to be "world famous". They were lightly breaded and somewhat soggy, with limp onions and bland flavor. Shane had to add salt to the onion rings to make them worth eating, and he never adds salt to anything.

I ordered the Husker Burger, which was a juicy medium burger topped with hickory smoked bacon, bbq sauce, and sauteed onions. I added all the fixings to my burger as well, and was very happy with my choice. The bacon was very thick and crispy, the burger was perfectly juicy and seasoned, and the bbq sauce was the perfect touch to put this burger over the top.


My burger came with french fries that were nothing spectacular, but with how incredible the burger was, I will definitely be back for more. Shane says he will order something different next time, but I enjoyed my burger so much that I may just get the same thing. One thing we do want to try on our next visit is the Rocky Mountain Oysters featured on the appetizer menu for after 5pm. Hopefully we like them!
