Smitty's Garage Burgers and Beer

Been coming to Smitty’s for at least 2 years and have never had a bad experience yet. It still amazes me how even the last bite is always still hot! The garlic aioli dipping sauce is sooo good! I put that we spent $10 to $20 for each person, but it was so borderline at or just over the $10 spot per person so trying to be honest.Recommended dishesThe Classic, Bacon Double Cheeseburger, Fresh Cut Fries

WHAT I ORDERED Mushroom Swiss Burger Garlic Aioli, Lettuce, Tomato, Onion, Sautéed Mushrooms, Swiss Cheese with a side order of Garlic Parm Truffle Fries. The burger was loaded with toppings which gave it a nice full look. The burger paddy had good flavor and the bun was nice and fluffy. Overall the burger was tasty and greasy. The fries were fresh-cut and loaded with Parmesan cheese. My honest opinion here is that they were extremely underwhelming. These fries were soft/soggy and I didn’t have any hint of truffle oil. I spoke to a few people and apparently their fries are always this way. MENU Smitty’s has a large selection of burger options and you can choose Turkey or Bison +$2 if you don’t want a traditional beef paddy. There are also a few sandwiches, melts, salads, and Tacos. For the menu visit eatatthegarage.com VISITING CONDITIONS I came here around 7pm on a Saturday. The place was packed, but since you order at the counter I got my order in right as I arrived. ESTABLISHMENT Smitty’s is a burger joint with a full bar and TVs all over the place. The vibe and decor mimics the classic American oldies/garage. STAFF Since you order at the counter there wasn’t much of a waiting staff working here. I sat at the bar and was attended to right away. The bartender were friendly and attentive the entire time I was there. PRICING The burgers are around $5-8 and you’ll have to order sides separately which are $2-5. Drinks are $3-6. Their Happy Hours are Mon-Fri 11am - 6pm and Sat-Sun 3pm-6pm. LOCATION 7610 Dodge Street Omaha, NE 68114 If you like a classic greasy burger and an American oldies atmosphere can definitely MARK THIS PLACE DOWN as a must try!

So eager to eat my burger forgot my pictures. But they have the best burgers. When we visit Omaha this will be our place to go for burgers. Friendly staff and they do veterans discount

Another place that I regret not coming to more often! Smitty’s never disappoints and today it was just delicious! You could tell it was fresh! The picture definitely doesn’t do it justice, but I swear it’s just amazing food and great vibes!

First time giving Smitty’s a try. I ordered the chili cheeseburger with a side of fries. Unsurprisingly, the chili lacked flavor and resembled canned chili. The fries lacked seasoning and weren’t spectacular by any means. Overall, the establishment was clean, friendly staff, and bar seating was available. I would be willing to return and try other menu items. However, the first visit wasn’t a memorable experience.

Stopped in to have a burger while waiting for my wife to meet up on this side of town. Had a phenomenal burger and fries! Spicy avocado burger. I sat up at the bar, Jasmine was the bartender, and while new, was a great and attentive server. Burger came out super fast, fries were hot and delicious. Couldn't ask for anything more, especially at their price point! Good food, fast hot and delicious, good service and overall a great experience!

We gave Smitty's a try last night and couldn't have been happier diners. The service from every staff member we encountered was over the top and the food was phenomenal!!! Smitty's will now be one of our regular stops for sure!

The food and staff were great. Fresh hot burgers and crispy fries. Not sure why they aren’t rated higher. A google search said they were the top third or fourth best burger in the area. Well after a week on the ground and going to each competitor, our group of five rated Smitty’s the best of them all. The staff were very friendly and attentive. The guys running food and bussing tables were on their game, very quick to get the food out and bring needed extras. The only drawback I saw was the service model; you order at a counter like quick service and then go sit down. If you want bar drinks, you order from the bar and pay like a table service restaurant. I know it’s cuts down on staff but it’s tedious.

This place used to be great and then they changed the menu. The people who work here still are great and get a 5/5. I really miss the large salad without meat on it. But what I miss more are your old fries. I do not like the new ones and makes it not worth it to get the food. You also used to have a grilled chicken sandwich, 'something lighter' on a burger bun. My husband really liked that. I will spend more money and then have you hold the meat and cheese on your taco salad with a burger but as with not having those good fries it might not be worth it. I used to get the burger fries and that salad without the meat. Even if I didn't eat all my burger 3/4 or many fries I would get them because they were so good! Bring back the old fries!

Great burger, genuinely surprised. Ordered the fried onion burger. The patty was seasoned very well, and the topings blend together perfectly. I'm definitely looking forward to checking out some more on their menu. Overall, one star suffers due to service. Our server was friendly and polite, but quite lacking in vigilance.
