Honest Abe's Burgers & Freedom

Honest Abe’s is a locally owned and operated. They have a nicely designed dinning room. And wonderful burgers, including a weekly menu called “Rotating Burgers”. These burgers have interesting recipes that just work. I recommend trying one at some point.

Perfectly cooked burgers EVERY time we've visited! Truffle fries are spot on! Even the fountain coke has the perfect carbonation & syrup combo! The shakes are incredible... I won't order because I'd drink the entire thing but you know I encourage the kids to order one so I can try it! ????

Honestly, It’s Good
On a whim, with nothing to do, I traveled to Lincoln, NE from Omaha for a day trip. When I did a search for the top ten best burger places in the area, Honest Abe’s Burgers & Freedom was at the top of the list. So, with an empty stomach and a big appetite, I went for the challenge.
Located on the corner of a shopping center, the restaurant isn’t fancy when you step inside, but there is a clever history timeline on the wall that you can read as you wait in line. Pay attention because there are some fun additions related to Abe and burgers written in.
The chalk board menu at the front of the restaurant lays out everything you may want before you give your order to the cashier. For me not only is the burger important but so is the bun. My “Greatest Burger Ever” selection was not only juicy with all the toppings that are offered along with their “awesome sauce,” but the soft, pliable bun held it all together. Since the menu is a la cart, for an additional 3.75, you can add the freedom fries, and a drink. It was a pleasure meeting Ben, who’s customer service skills were on point.
Overall: Honestly, it was the best burger I’ve had in a while.

As burger places go, this one seemed pretty darn good. The menu is up on the wall and there are several regular burgers and a few specials that change. The decor is quirky and features Abe Lincoln all over.

My burger came quickly and was well cooked. Special attention was paid to the toppings and the bun is high quality, so although it's a large burger physically, it stays together and is structurally sound. The fries were great, but I didn't need many of them after eating the burger.
