We’re serious about our burgers here in the belly of beef country. When someone suggests going out for a burger, we don’t pile in the car and head to McDonald’s – we hunt down the best, juiciest, most mouth-wateringly perfect patty we can find. Here are 10 of the best burgers you can buy in Nebraska…in alphabetical order to prove we don’t play favorites. (See our second list – with 30 more of Nebraska’s best burgers – here!)
From the standard (and amazing) cheeseburger to the slightly more adventurous lamb and bison burgers, Brewburgers knows how to do a burger right. As a bonus, they offer a beer pairing suggestion with every menu item.

Stella's has long been a staple on lists of the best burgers in the state, and for good reason. Their fresh ingredients and creative add-ons let you create your dream burger.
