Well unfortunately burger junction has been sold and taken over by new owners. I hate to say that the burger today was the worst I have ever had. I have been going there for 40 years and every time the burgers were consistently good, but not anymore. The Giant Burger was over cooked, dry and small, hardly any pastrami was put on the burger. I unfortunately will never go there again. It was a good run for 40 years, but no more. The old Burger Junction is dead. If you don't believe me, try it for yourself, but I don't recommend it. read more

We have been coming to burger junction sun we were kids and it was sad to see Ben Sal retire. So they Changed owners and went downhill!!!' I was served two bottom buns and my husband the two tops! That right there! The meat was like a Burnt hokey puck the bacon not sure was bacon??? My husband and I took one bite and threw it in the garbage!!! It is so sad when other owners come in and cut corners of a great place we will not be returning back read more

Stopped by here to grab a quick bite for dinner since it was close by. Amazing service, 10/10 and great burgers. I got 2 bacon burgers and milkshakes with curly fries. Fries were fresh and crispy. The milkshakes and burgers were especially delicious. To top it off, the service was superb. I was originally going to order the guacamole burgers but was informed the avocados that day were not ripe. I appreciate the honesty from the workers and they allowed me to pick something else. 10/10, definitely coming back! read more

I've been here multiple times and I can't recommend this place enough. Sure it's a bit off the beaten path for Sacramento, but it is worth the trip so you can witness an old school burger joint. The fries here are always cooked perfectly. The burgers are always cooked to order. This place can get busy during lunch time so you are warned. I just love this privately owned place where you still see the owner in the back cooking burgers. You should check this place out if you haven't. read more

I don't know what happened but the older guys that ran the place haven't been here and the new guys are unsanitary. The guys took my order touched the register and cash then proceeded to make my food. I had to ask the guy to wash his hands. Food is still great tho pretty much the same food but service is suffering read more

Was craving a cheesy snack for lunch. Headed to burger junction and got exactly what I wanted. It was a great flavor and was not too salty or greasy. Will return for chili cheese fries and a sandwich next time. read more

Really great burgers cant wait to try the rest of the menu this business has been around for decades under new ownership but same great taste and theve brought so much more to the menu read more

If you're from the South Sacramento area you have either been to Burger Junction at some point in your life, or you at least know it. It's kinda hard to not know the place on the corner of Power Inn Rd. and Florin Road, that every Saturday during the summer. Has as parking lot full or classic & hot rod style cars....it's definitely attention getting, and something I remember every summer for as long as I can remember. I grew up around the corner from Burger Junction so I'd been here at least a handful of times when I was younger, but up until last year. I hadn't been back in over 20 years, some of those years due to being stationed on the East Coast. And the first time back allowed me to introduce this place to my girlfriend. Because it had been so long we were both looking over the menu like it was our first time here. This past time for visit my girlfriend decided on the 'Grand Junction' burger (1/3 lb pastrami patty) w/fries, and I chose the 'Giant Junction' burger (1/2 lb pastrami patty) w/fries. Both also come traditionally with Thousand Island dressing, bacon tomatoes, onions, and lettuce. The pastrami patty was really good and I think complimented really well with the thousand island dressing. The first time my girlfriend and I went I think she like her burger more than the second time, but I believe it was due to the amount of mustard on the burger. Masking the flavor or the pastrami patty, and I'm thinking she chose the standard setup of the burger the first time like me and not the option w/mustard. What's also interesting about Burger Junction is that when you walk in you'll notice a lot of the restaurants history adorned on the walls, with old photos of the first Burger Junction customer from 1989. And the original owner in the back and at the grill. The only note I'd make is that if you're not familiar with Burger Junction just be mindful that it kinda dive like, so there hasn't been much if any upgrades to the place since opening besides the look of the bathroom. So the environment looks a little run down, but I think the food makes up for that. read more

Got some burgers today. Good was delicious and perfect. Staff were great and came to serve as soon as I walked in. Great customer service. Decorations are very nice and different. Definitely a 10/10 read more

Went here a few years ago and food was amazing. Thought I would revisit now with the new ownership and I wish I hadn't. My avocado burger had avocado slices with the consistency of a crispy apple, I had to take them out. The avocado was so difficult to eat that when they were preparing the burger, they must have known how difficult it was to cut, and then decided to still serve it without letting me know, how unfortunate. So glad I paid two extra dollars for that. The chili cheese fries were subpar at best. The fries themselves were actually tasty but the chili portion was quite lazy. It was just beans with no chili to be seen. The bacon cheeseburger I ordered was only decent as well, the bun was fluffy, and the cheese and spread were good, but the patty and bacon left to be desired. Overall, I would not come back here, it's a shame, because the food used to be really good. Hope they can turn things around! read more

Unfortunately Burger Junction is under new ownership. When I asked if it was the same owners they replied "yes" just like my old favorite donut spot on Mack & Center pkwy did when they were sold. Burger was salty and no where near the amount of pastrami on the burger as it use to have. They took one piece of pastrami and cut into pieces and put that on top . The food wasn't terrible but it wasn't what is used to be either. My family has been going to BJ for years, my dad even had his own meal that we'd ask for and the original owners knew what we wanted when we mentioned my dad. My dad passed away in March this year, I miss him and now I'm going to miss Burger Junction too read more

Great good and customer service! I would definitely go back again! Cleanliness was awesome as well.

Been going here for 10+ years and still one favorite burger spot to eat in Sacramento

This spot is tucked into a very nondescript strip mall, but the food is anything but. We called in our order and headed over. It was lunch for 5 people and ready in like 20 minutes. Super quick and the service was amazing and friendly. The food was equally on par. The burgers were ahhh-mazing!!! The meat was clearly quality, the seasoning of the burger was perfect. We all got different burgers from the Giant burger, mushroom burger, bacon burger, a plain burger and a cheese burger. They were all cooked perfectly, the ingredients were fresh and not soggy nor greasy even though it was packed to go. We have made our kids into foodies, and our 11 year old daughter was quick to point out that even her plain burger was flavorful and seasoned! LOL We also ordered lots of sides to share, onion rings, fries, fried mushrooms and zucchini and chili fries... I know, sounds like a ton and it is but we wanted to try things we hadn't before and being covid, we really wanted to support this local gem so we just went for it. Let me tell you, they were all fabulous. The hardest thing to do is to fry a mushroom and have it keep it's integrity and let me tell you, these mushrooms, were on point! Perfectly tender yet firm. Also and I want to point this part out because many places don't service their fountains often enough, but the carbonation to soda ratio was also on point. I rarely drink soda but sometimes you really want those bubbles!!! I hate getting flat soda, and this was actually really refreshing. Super awesome! read more

Today was my second time coming since Sal sold the joint. They added new options to the menu while keeping the original favorites. The burgers are still amazing, fries are seasoned well and they still offer milkshakes! The new owners are polite! Going to try some of their new items next time I visit. read more

Can here a week ago today asked for bacon cheese burger, rare butter on bun lettuce only They burned bacon black, charred put Pickles on not near rare have ordered this here about 20 times in past always good took photos his phone was off the hook to try to call back to complain came in today showed him owner Iranian photos Said too bad would not honor the error told my guy friend who gets their Pastrami burger I ]will not go back service vile food in past ok but dishonorable practices unacceptable read more

This place has new ownership. The quality has dropped substantially. They don't toast the buns. They use a different kind of lettuce. The patties are also different and they overcook them. They over-fried my order of curly fries. If you're not interested in making a good product, why even buy the restaurant? It's a shame. This used to be my favorite burger joint. read more

I tried the fries the other day and they were really good I definitely recommend any lover to check it out. it didn't take long for the Oder to be ready. Fast service read more

I grew up coming here with my Grandpa in the mid 90's. Stopped by and ordered the Mushroom burger. Brought back all the memories from 25 years ago. Sad that I let this much time go by and pass this place almost everyday. The restaurant itself is like a time capsule. Same menu board I remember from back in the day. Any time I want a great hamburger I am coming here. Forget the clown, bobble head and the king, this is the real deal happy meal. read more

New owners. Burgers not good, fries not skipped. & everything is skimped. It's going down hill. Roof behind counter leaks like allot. Rip Burger Junction.. read more

We only get 30 min lunch called my order in 20 min prior for pick up. They not busy I get there they started cooking my food witch was not good not the same. Sunny select like crinkle fries this place is not good at all. Wasted my 30 min lunch. They should have kept the same foods from old owner vender. Two thumbs down. read more

I find it funny how people would say Burger Junction is too expensive. I bet those people would pay $20+ for a burger at another restaurant. Burger Junction is definitely a whole in the wall type of restaurant. The burgers are fat and juicy, so WORTH the money. My burger cravings are always satisfied when I eat hamburgers from Burger Junction. Oh, and I can't forget the onion ring. It's delicious, probably one of read more

Burger Junction - Half eaten cheeseburger and onion rings. - Burgers Near Me - Sacramento, California

One of my favorite burger spots in Sacramento. Ingredients and everything taste fresh. The buns are super fresh

Best burgers in south sac. These guys know what there doing and have been doing it for a ling time.

So I went over to put gas at South Costco, I don't live in the area and decided to take Power Inn Road back home. As I was driving Northbound Power Inn Road, I saw Burger Junction and was reluctant to stop, because of the area and quite of bit sketchy individual hanging around. Anyways so glad I did, because my burger took me back when I was a kid, when good old fashion burger joints were everywhere and burgers tasted so good! Their fries were yummy and they weren't chintzy!!! Now, it was my first time there and I can not speak to everyone's experience; I only hope that my next experience will be as yummy. read more

The last time I had food from Burger Junction my children were here and it was the worst hamburger I have ever eaten in my life. And hamburgers have been my favorite food for the past 80 years. I have eaten burger, Junction, and thoroughly enjoyed them, but the orders were wrong, the food was wrong, and wasn't satisfactory at all. read more

Sal retired and this place has gone to hell it took 50 minutes to get my order in which they told me 20 minutes. And then got an attitude with me when I asked how long my order was going to take. Mind you I was already waiting 40 minutes read more

I hate to be FTC (first to criticize) amongst all the 4 and 5 star reviews, but I feel I need to voice my disappointment in the grilled fish sandwich I recently had. I realize this place is a popular hamburger joint, but if you offer other options on the menu, you'd think the same standards would be given. My boyfriend brought me here for lunch because he had enjoyed the food a few times in the past. I was happy to see that fish was on their menu so decided to give it a try over a beef burger. When our food was ready, the first few bites were acceptable, probably because I was hungry. As I continued to eat, I was noticing that there wasn't much flavor. The bun was fresh, so was the sliced tomato and iceberg lettuce, but the grilled fish was blah, even a little too fishy. There may have been some mayo or tarter sauce used as a spread, but I couldn't taste it. I ate most of the sandwich, because I didn't want to waste it. But at least I enjoyed the French fries which helped to satisfy my hunger a bit. Now I know that the next time we come, I will stick to ordering what they seem to be good at - burgers! Then I hope to give a better review. read more

Burger Junction aka SALT CITY. Yikes. My boyfriend mentioned this burger place before and I finally decided we should go. We got the pastrami burger, philly cheesesteak, and small fries to share. The cashier, a young lady, was very friendly and asked if we had enough time to look at the menu. There is a window where you can see into the kitchen as they cook your food. The philly cheesesteak is pretty plain - steak, onions, and cheddar cheese on a roll. It was incredibly salty - I'm not sure if it was the seasoning or the cheese. I wish it was provolone and was dressed with lettuce and tomato - that would have helped cut the salt. I liked the softness of the bread. The burger was also very salty, probably from over seasoning and pastrami. I liked the softness of the bun as well. The fries were standard, but surprisingly NOT salty. Weird. The food was too salty for me, but others probably enjoy it. It's kinda in the middle of nowhere, but at least there's a parking lot so parking is easy. The building and decor is very old/outdated, but the establishment is clean. I would give 1.5 stars if I could, but rounded up because maybe it was a fluke or I'm too sensitive to salt (?). The workers were nice too. As it stands, I would not return or recommend. read more

I have been a long time fan of Burger Junction..I ordered burgers from them 25 years ago. I have thought it to the best burger in Sacramento. I tried it recently and something has changed. I'm not sure what. Perhaps the meat is different and the bun has changed. read more

Good burgers...very good burgers....super good burgers...awesomely good burgers...amaze balls burgers....just not close to being cheap. You also have to watch what they ring up and check your receipt, BUT they have awesome burgers. Oh, and the burgers are actually pretty good read more

Wish I could have found this earlier! When trying to have a meet-up with a friend, I logged onto my trusty yelp app to look for a new place to try out and this popped up for burgers in the Sacramento area. Located off of Florin and Power Inn Road in South Sac, you'll find this dive (of the diners drive-ins and dives classification) in the middle of a raleys plaza (I think thats the grocery store, I'm most likely wrong, but thats besides the point). When you walk in, you can see a bunch of the dated decor, including an awesome old school burger joint sign, the kind that you have to manually put the menu on with the letters and stuff. Most of the seating looks like those party of 4 table/bench booths. There's not much to be seen with decor, but the food more than makes up for it. As usual per my trying of new places, I try to get the signature food item on the menu, and here it is the Junction Burger, available in 1/2 and 1/3 patties. On top of this signature burger, you'll find a stack of pastrami with gooey cheese. You can order the usual everything with it (lettuce, tomato, pickles, onions). This is all wrapped in the appropriate grease catching wrap. I'll have to say, this is one of my most favorite burgers that I've had in the greater Sacramento area. I'm a fan of pastrami, so it makes it all that much better. Had me eating every last bite. The burger itself is appropriately priced, running about $6-7 depending on the size of the burger you order. The workers are pretty nice. Very welcoming. The only thing that kept me from scoring this place a perfect 5 is the fountain drinks. At least during my visit that day, some taps didn't seem to be working that good. I couldn't seem to make a good Arnold Palmer, turned out super sweet. The bad sign of it was the gurgling-ish noise that the Iced Tea tap was giving me. Definitely worth a try, I'm for sure bringing friends here as often as I am in the area and craving burgers. read more

Stopped by burger junction yesterday on way home from Kaiser. You would never find the place by driving by. My husband desperately wanted a GOOD hamburger. We got him the jumbo burger with pastrami. I got the regular cheese burger. We ordered a side of fries and onion rings. For a snack on the way home we got the little corn dog bites. Every thing was so bad for you but oh how tasty. Forgot . My husband drank his chocolate milkshake on the way home. He said if he knew it was that good he would have ordered another. Totally decedent!!! Hit the spot!! read more

This place is almost exactly like the Mom 'n' Pop burger place I worked at in high school. I wanna thank South Sac for keeping it local and making sure this place is busy on a Wednesday night 15 minutes before closing. It's hard to watch big chain places pop up everywhere and the local businesses fail, especially when they have a great product, so keep it up, y'all. We got the double bacon cheeseburger and the single of the same, curly fries, and onion rings. Everything was as you'd expect and delicious. The onion rings aren't the beer battered kind, they're more like the Burger King ones in flavor, but on steroids so they're big. Nice. The girl working the counter offered ketchup for my fries, or ranch for my rings. Places usually wait until you request. Nice. We couldn't finish it all... okay, okay, HE couldn't finish it all and I probably shouldn't have. No regrets. It's not the most pristine place and doesn't have great decor--because it is what it is, your neighborhood burger joint. Don't let it die. We will be back! read more

I have been coming here for years and really miss Sal and Ben, and I admit I was concerned when they sold out, but the new people are top notch. They are really great and have done great things with the place and added awesome new items to the menu. I recommend this establishment to anyone wanting a great hamburger, or anything on the menu an a fantastic price. Their prices are far lower than anywhere else, and the quality is much better than anywhere else. I would give them more stars if I could. read more

Found this gem 2 years ago and we love it. Nothing has changed and the burgers are still one of the best in town. It's definitely the burger bun they use that I love. The burger patty was not too charred and the added side of chili cheese fries sealed the deal that this is the best mom and pop burger joint in Sacramento read more
