ABOUT
In 1980, Louis Marcuzzo began a catering service out of what would become the Burger Lust kitchen. After some time supplying food service to area daycares, word got out to local business owners that Lou was cooking up some great tasting food in the location … and they began using the vacant diner portion of the building as an ad hoc breakfast meeting location.
One thing led to another and Burger Lust was born, growing from simple donut and juice breakfasts to a full-service, 7-day-a-week restaurant where you’ll find some of the tastiest breakfasts and lunches in the region.
We serve breakfast and lunch 7 days a week. Sun - Thurs 7am - 3pm, Fri and Sat 6am - 3:00pm

“Great Food, Great Service, Great atmosphere, really an Omaha institution. Burgers are fantastic, and the breakfasts are incredible. I try to get there once or twice a month. Can’t recommend it enough.”

“One of my favorites when it comes to a great breakfast. A real close contender to Leo’s in Benson. I have tried almost everything on the menu in this place and cannot say I have been disappointed in any way. The wait staff has personality which makes the experience even better. You have to love a place that you can get a little sass with your country fried steak , eggs, and gravy. It is local favorite and has been around forever. Give it a try.”

“Fun little family restaurant which is attentive and has what appears to be the best burgers in the local area. The burgers were juicy without being overly oily or dripping with condiments (because there are about 20 sauces and such at the table already for you to slap on) and the drinks were well flowing.
Attentive folks to keep your glass full and and engaged while you look at the little bits of small town Americana around the room…”

“Wow. That satisfied our craving for beef. The mushroom Swiss was great and so was Guac bacon. Good sized piece of meat and perfectly cooked. The place was busy with the Sunday brunch crowd but we still received great service. Fries were decent.
The place is located in a cool old building with decor showing the neighborhood in it’s heyday…”

I’m not from the Omaha area. I found my new favorite burger place, if you can call it that. My lady had the breakfast burrito. It was massive, bursting from the seams with bacon and flavor. The green chili was perfect and the other ingredients are fresh. I had the Italian Burger with a side of fries. Let’s start with the deep fried potato sticks first. They were piping hot. For an unsalted French fry, they were tasty. Portion size was good. Now to the main event, the burger. The bun was warm, dense, buttery, and lightly grilled. If they don’t bake them I house, then there must be a bakery across the street. The marinara sauce IS made in house. Rich, bold, and overflowing with goodness. This sauce drizzled over there hand-made patty. This was no ordinary beef patty. This was a 1/2 pound of Italian infused beefy goodness. The cheese was gooey, hot, and everywhere! This burger is by no means “beard friendly” but that’s what napkins are for.
Service was top notch. The staff was super friendly and professional. Everyone was upbeat. They treated me like a regular and after this experience, I will be. This is my destination for all foodstuffs when I’m traveling.
I didn’t have a chance to talk to the owner, but he seems oldschool and laid back. He was chatting with a group of regulars.
The atmosphere was awesome.
The prices are great. Same price as a Burger King, but trust me. You won’t get the same experience.
10/10 my new favorite burger place.
