I ate at Tam O’Shanter’s for the first time last night, drawn by the fact they lay claim to the best burger in Lincoln, a title it earned in 2006 when the Journal Star had a city-wide contest to find the best burgers. Having tried their cheeseburger, I’m inclined to agree.
I ordered the regular cheeseburger and added sauteed onions for an extra 75 cents. I was really surprised at how many onions they piled on the burger, which was perfectly grilled — tender, juicy, cooked through and charred just enough to give it a from-the-grill flavor. All told, the burger, which came with a generous pile of curly fries, cost about $8 and definitely filled me for the night.
If you’re looking for somewhere near campus to hang out, Tam’s food is outstanding, and the whole pub, which also had some game tables in the bar end, was quiet enough to carry on a decent conversation.
