    Single cheese burger
    Savannah C.

    We drove by and loved the old building, so we stopped on a whim with the kiddos. Burgers were super flavorful and a decent size. My favorite was their milkshakes. I had the fresh banana and my husband had a chocolate malt, both were sooo good. The banana was one of the best I've had. Will be returning!

    Ok now, who doesn't love a Lil hole in the wall joint! I have always wanted to try this place and today was the day! The BLT was amazing, chili cheese dog was delicious, fried zucchini and mushrooms were also yummy! Customer Service was great and she was so helpful with answering our questions. Definitely a great spot!

    Old school burger joint. We had a little scare that this north highland gem might disappear, but we survived. The burgers are big, and they use that special sauce similar to Big Mac. Potato buns, thick patties and shlettuce. It's not a fancy burger, and doesn't taste like one, but tastes more like what burgers tasted like back in the 90s. It's nostalgic, and it's perfect. The chili fries are so fire. It's meat chili and it's just damn good. I also love their old school milkshake. I think the owners and workers are the sweetest people in the world. I am so glad we have this amazing burger place in our community and we should all go support this mom and pop joint!!!

    Sacramento landmark!

    This is a Sacramento landmark, serving up old fashioned burgers, crispy fries and milkshakes & malts. We hadn't been there for years and we will definitely return soon.

    Rubbing his face and hair while cooking with no gloves
    Miss T.

    I don't mind if there's high school people working but what I do mine, it's when they're touching their face- rubbing their hair ,no gloves, eating the food while they're making it. He was UNBELIEVABLE .!!!! The food was bland and dry. I really want to like this place people talk about it. The old lady just walking around looking at all the customers surrounding the restaurant and not even greeting them, 3 different customers left- It's time for her to retire asap.

    Food and service is great. If you want good burgers and fries this is the place to go. The chickens strips are the best. Don't miss out.

    I woke up on Sunday and decided I needed a milkshake. It was the only thing in the world I wanted…read more I looked for places near me to get one, because I didn't wanna make it myself and this restaurant popped up. I have thought about trying it for sometime, and Sunday was the day. I got my person off of his computer game and we drove down to a decently busy drive through, so we decided to go inside as we wanted to review the menu anyways. The restaurant was clean and cute, almost set up like a little diner. THIS PLACE HAS EVERYTHING. or at least every fast food type item I wanted to see on the menu. We ordered chicken strip basket, a jalapeño burger, a chocolate shake and fried zucchini. There was at least 40 other things on the menu that I wanted to order, but figured this was a solid order for our first time. There was a little confusion with the cashier over the jalapeño burger, but I refuse to dock stars for a cashier who looked like they were still in training. The important part of the mix up, was the chef came out to clarify exactly what we wanted, so it was never really a problem to begin with. That chocolate shake has been living in my head rent free ever since, because it was perfect. The jalapeño burger (we ended up with 3 patties instead of two, per the menu confusion) basically brought tears to my partners eyes because it was so perfect. And they actually season their fries!!! I would give 6 stars if I could. Don't sleep on this gem. Whether you would call it a drive in or just fast food it is AWESOME.

    We've had Burger Shack on our list for a while. We love stopping by old school drive in type burger…read moreshops for a no frills, just good food experience. We stopped in later in the evening for dinner and got the mushroom cheeseburger combo ($12.99), the Pastrami Cheeseburger combo ($14.99), cheese curds ($5.99) and fried okra ($5.99). They gave us our drinks right away and they have the nice crushed ice that's like tiny pebbles. It's always a treat when a spot has this ice because it's tiny and crunchy and not offered a lot. The food didn't take too long and came out on a tray for our dine in experience. There are plenty of booths here and during our visit there were a lot of other people enjoying meals in small groups and couples. The food was hot and fresh and the fries were nicely cooked crinkle cut fries. The fried okra as good, but needed a bit more seasoning or sauce to dip (we had ranch). The cheese curds were great, hot and the cheese was perfectly melty. My husband got the mushroom cheeseburger with just mushrooms, cheese, pickles and added bacon. He said it was a good burger and satisfied his craving, but isn't something he'd specifically seek out. I got the pastrami burger with everything on it and thought it was delicious, but the pastrami was a bit overcooked and dried out so the texture was a bit hard to bite through with the burger and I found myself eating the pastrami separately from the burger. There's plenty of parking here and they have a drive through. I heard the milkshakes are great, so if we stop by again we'll try one.

I was in the neighborhood so I decided to try this place again. The place is still very bright and clean, and the menu hasn't changed. A wide selection of a lot of different things. Primarily, crêpes and burgers. (of course) I decided to go with the Greek crepe. Cheddar, onions, feta, mushrooms, tomatoes, spinach, and black olives. For my side, I chose the salad. Just as good as before. First of all, the salad, the greens were very fresh, and the vinaigrette had a nice tang to it. It was not overdressed as some people do on salads. The crêpe itself, it was tender, and it was large. They were very generous with the fillings, and everything played well with each other. I was kind of curious about mixing feta and cheddar, but it was amazingly good. The saltines of the feta was a wonderful contrast to the creaminess of the cheddar cheese. Both cheeses went well with the entire crêpe. I was going to try one of the dessert crêpes, but after this thing, I was full. Next time I will come in specifically for a dessert crêpe. Thanks again for another great meal

    My love and I were in search of nourishment to fortify us before a later showing of Nosferatu…read more(2024) recently, so he popped onto the yelp Machine to see what he could find near the trusty Greenback cinema. This place popped up and away we went. It's a sort of hut situation in the middle of a sloped parking lot, but not hard to find. A bit shabby but clean inside, with a handful of booths and a take out counter. There wasn't a whole lot on the menu (not sure if vegan friendly) to excite a hungry vegetarian, but I did not mind as I wanted him to pick. I wasn't sure what I was about to subject him to visually. I mean, I was pretty sure buuuuuut a lot changes in 100 years. We got a big order of fries to share, and I won't lie that was my favorite part. Lorge, Thicccc, crinkle-cut, well-cooked, well- seasoned french-fried pataters. Noice. My "small" veggie sandwich was decent, and plenty to eat for something labeled small. Veggies and provolone were fresh but the bread was meh. I would eat it again but wouldn't go out of my way for it. They have wangs, hot and cold sammiches, and many fried things including vegetables. Dave got something saucy on a bun that satisfied him. We also had some fountain drinkies. The lady working the register was kind and helpful as we regarded the menu for a few minutes before ordering. There was only one of her, and at least one person cooking, while a couple other customers were in the store, yet we only waited ten minutes for our food. A well-timed pre-movie visit for foodstuffs. I would come back to try the fried zucchini if I were in the area.
