    Came here for burgers. Got two hamburgers and one order of fries to share. Burger was okay, was a good sized pattie, but didn't even have a couple of pickle slices included. The condiment inclusion was a little skimpy. They cook to order, so I can imagine the long wait if you came while it was busy. There isn't enough in the restaurant to distract you while waiting, so the wait is tedious unless you bring something to read. I noticed they have all-day breakfasts available. In fact, it was the whole left side of the overhead menu. If you don't mind a plain burger, this place is "okay,". Nothing I would go out of my way to eat at again.

    Using my promotion.

    I have passed by this Nation's fast food many visit to Starbucks but finally decided to take advantage of their promotions and give them a try. Their food are made to order so you have to be patient. My Patty Melt was exactly have I expected it to be... very greasy and it needs some pickles to balance up the flavors and my wife had the Wild Salmon burger and we both think it's too fishy . The wheat bread and the sandwiches falls apart so I presumes they don't specializes in burger as most other patrons order from the all-day breakfast menu and I do see they have lots of pies. Overall, food not what I expected and will probably not try again.

    This was our first time visiting Nations Giant Burger for brunch, and it definitely won't be our last! Courtney was amazing--she assisted us at the counter taking our order and also cooked the food. That kind of multitasking and dedication really stood out. We ordered the grilled chicken with onion rings and the breakfast sandwich with ham. Oh my goodness--everything came out piping hot and full of flavor! You can tell the food was made fresh and with care. Great service, great food, and a great first impression. Thank you, Courtney, for making our visit such a positive experience!

    Food:***** Service:***** Ambiance: ***** FIRST TIME to this location. Just opened maybe 4-5 months ago. Drove by several times n parking lot was full. Finally came after lunch rush. Tables were available. I wanted to dine in. Place is clean. Restrooms are also clean. Condiment area is clean but scarce in hot sauce. I don't take the bottle I just pour enough for me to use. Service was great. Brianne was so helpful with the discounts n joining the club for rewards. The crew is on top of taking orders and cooking asap. The food was legit! Memories of the Bay Area (Fremont) younger days came back. Moved to EG and so happy Nations is so close to me now. My favorite burger place. I love the simplicity of the original burger. Bun is lightly grilled/toasted so still soft to bite into, nice fresh onions,lettuce and slice tomatoes. So hot and fresh off the grill. It is my perfect burger. Forgot photo of my burger becuz I inhaled it. My hubby had a 3 egg breakfast and love it. Hasbrowns were the best, not over fried. I can eat a burger from this location every day. We will be coming back again. My husband loves this place like I do.

    I got to try nations via door dash. First off, the burger and sliders were yummy. I was glad that I could customize it with the various toppings they offer. I thought the patty was juicy, even for getting it thru door dash. The French fries were just average, nothing to set it apart from other places. Now the chocolate crème pie was delicious. I love that they have different pies and sizes to choose from. It makes it fun to try a new one every time.

    This location is in the new plaza next to Starbucks and across the freeway from Winco. Space is smaller than other Nations I been too - maybe about 20 chairs but they do have outdoor seating which Im sure will be used come spring/summer days. Great experience from today's experience. Young gentleman, Juan was super pleasant and welcoming. He made recommendations and was just overall nice. Had the melt which was YUMMY!!! Will definitely be coming back.

    I was driving through Elk Grove and had a hankering for a delicious breakfast. Good thing Nations is just off the 99. After going over the breakfast menu, I decided on the two egger breakfast, which includes two eggs, two well buttered pieces of toast, hash browns, and your choice of meat ( I went with a hamburger patty). I will fight someone if they tell me there is a better fast food breakfast than the one you can get at nations. Everything is made to order, the quality is great, the portions are huge, and your order is ready stat! All of this for less than a combo meal at almost any fast food restaurant. Also if the massive portions and delicious food wasnt enough, they have some of the best pies that money can buy! Next time you are driving through Elk Grove, do yourself a favor and stop by Nations!

    Service : 4/5 good, however no one shared the seasonal options like pumpkin cheesecake, pumpkin shake etc. The menu rotates so I didn't find out about it until I placed my order and had to do a second order. Ambiance: 4/5 Quaint but clean, happy the location is nearby. Food: 4/5 The sweet potato pie crust had an oniony taste but other than that my cheeseburger was delicious!

    I've had Nations before in the Bay as well as Vacaville, but ever since the Natomas and now Elk Grove location opened not so much. This location is right next to the drive-thru Starbucks sharing the parking lot with the Shell Gas Station and Take 5 Oil change place off of Sheldon Rd x Hwy 99. Party of 2 dine-in (walk-in) and I also placed a large to-go order (3 cheeseburgers with grilled onions, 2 burgers with no onions, and 3 orders of fries). Not sure if they rang it up as 3 of the burger-and-fry combos or as just a la carte. The bacon cheeseburger and the BBQ/onion ring burger looked good too, and I saw they also have sliders. The "giant" burgers each came in their own box, and the fries were all separated in their own bag. Overall they were good, but for the price of $7-$9 per burger and then the fries, I'm not sure I'll be back soon. Was good to give them another try. Might come back for strawberry pies in the summer.

    Haven't been to Nations Giant for a very long time maybe a four or five years. Just got one in Elk Grove about 5 months ago, so wanted to check them out as I was craving a burger. Wondering if they are still good as they used to be. I ordered the cheese burger with everything. It actually taste just like a n in and out burger. It was good as u ate it all. My fries were cold as they didn't last hot very long once in got my food home food to go. My bf got a chilli hot dog he said bit was fabulous. See the picture. We also ordered a half a blueberry cheesecake pie. It was good, not too sweet. I always know Nations for their pie. I like that you can buy pie by the slice, the half pie or whole. Overall good experience. Quick order in and out.

    Chili dog was good. Service was friendly and accommodating. Clean dining for family with kids! A must to try pies!

    Lettuce wrapped cheese burger

    Ordered online for pickup and my order wasn't ready yet. Sat down and waited and they had some pie samples to try as well that day. I tried the pecan one and it was tasty. The burgers were really good. I got a lettuce wrapped one and it held up well. They give a lot of pickles and they were cut lengthwise so it was a pickle lovers dream. Overall pretty good for burgers but definitely on the pricier side.

It seems like a tough crowd--but after my visit, I can see why expectations run high. My cheeseburger featured high-quality, freshly ground beef that was well-seasoned with a flavorful, salty crust. The patty was tender and juicy, exactly what you want from a handcrafted burger. The brioche bun was nicely toasted, and the cheese melted perfectly over the patties--both essential details that elevate a great cheeseburger. The burger was simply but thoughtfully assembled with shredded lettuce, sliced onion, pickles, and Butcher's aioli. Their house-made sauce added a nice depth of flavor without overpowering the beef. I appreciated how they kept the toppings classic and balanced--fresh, crisp lettuce, ripe tomatoes, red onion, and tangy pickles complement the richness of the patty and sauce beautifully. The fries were just as impressive. They had that ideal contrast: an ultra-crispy, golden-brown exterior with a light, fluffy interior. Perfectly seasoned, pleasantly salty, not greasy, and sturdy enough to hold their shape--they checked all the boxes. Overall, they hit all the key elements of a truly great handcrafted cheeseburger and fries. High marks from me.

We ordered a Gourmet Burger and a Kids Cheeseburger, and both were prepared well with no complaints about the food itself. The bigger issue was what happened after the food arrived. Once our meals were dropped off, we never saw our server again. No drink refills were offered, despite the empty glasses, and nobody checked on us or offered additional bottomless fries. The food was solid, but the lack of service and attention throughout the meal made the overall experience disappointing. Hopefully this was just an off day.

We ordered two of the regular fat burgers with all of the toppings and sauces to get the full experience. We also ordered some skinny fries and onion rings. Service was friendly. It did take a little longer than I expected for our order to come out. I would say about 15-20 minutes at least. The restaurant was clean. We brought it home immediately, and I found each of food items to be just barely warm. For the burger, the different toppings were nice to have, but nothing super unique. The bun was probably the most disappointing part was the bun. The bun wasn't really soft, and definitely not warmed up. It would have been nice if the bread was toasted at the very least. The bun itself was also a little dry. The skinny fries had potential to be better. They were mostly soggy and unfortunately not salted enough. The onion rings were not crispy despite the batter appearing to be that way in many pictures. I can't really see myself coming back here.

Good burger, huge, hot, flavored like the kind you make at home in a fry pan, eg pepper, salt and possibly garlic powder. Nice huge dense bun, too. Fries were good, also hot. It's a big deal when you eat out and are served hot food. Great meal, huge portion and truly reminded me of a home cooked burger. Friendly professional customer service, quick to order and receive a great meal. Offered me ranch, thousand island dressing for fries, no extra cost. They have cardio, salt and pepper, mints, hand wipes, nice touch along with mints. Two big screen TV's, no blaring way to loud music. I'll try it again in the future. Looks like they have milkshakes including vegan flavors, chicken sandwich, ground turkey burger.

Yeah, that's right, not advertised, but if you're dining in and you finish the order of fries, just ask for a refill and they give it to you! So, pro tip: always order the small fries, that is unless you are doing take out. The yare some of the best fries around. About the way they list their burgers. The "regular" burger is actually a DOUBLE burger with two patties. They shame the manly men and most anybody else, by listing the normal single patty burger as a "LITTLE" burger when all it is, is what most people would call a normal burger. Oh, nobody wants a "LITTLE" burger! You get all the same free toppings free, like grill onions and mushrooms on both versions. But since we're on the expense account, everybody gets the "REGULAR" double cheeseburger with "the works". The inside is clean and ordering is easy. We just get 2 orders of small fries for the 5 of us, since I figure we'll get some refills anyways. They do give a ton of fries even at the small size. There's a cup they fill then over fill the bag. I will say they do have some very good fries here, better than In N Out that's for sure. Our orders come up and the burgers are all wrapped well and the fries are soaking grease on the brown paper bag. I'll say, this burger is very tasty, not sure it's worth almost $12 bucks with tax and fries are extra like $5 bucks. But that's what expense accounts are for!

I love my tart, vinegar, lemon, capers, and pickled stuff....hubby....eh..not so much. So I ordered German Meatballs and my lovely pretzel with beer cheese. The meatballs are meaty, potatoes are the real deal, mashed and with gravy poured on top! Hubby ordered the beef brisket with spatzle. The brisket was tender and the spatzle was quite mac n cheesy, using gouda as the cheese of choice. So I am loving my lovely pretzel and mustard, loving his brisket and spatzle, and loving my german meatballs. Good heavens this place was made for me! Hubby on the other hand is not a fan of tart or cheesy. So he is less than satisfied. In order to rectify this problem I order the Haus Plate with the sweinschnitzel and mashed potatoes and gravy. It comes with sauerkraut, rotkohl, and seasonal veggies (sauerkraut and rotkohl on the side). The beer of choice is hefeweizen, it goes well with the tang of the dijon mustard. Hubby wasn't a fan of the orange notes. Hubby did appreciate the sweinschnitzel and seasonal veggies though. Hooray! I love coming here and will continue my patronage!! Also a fun little trivia night took place at the end of our meal. We participated and got quite a few answers right. Cool beans!

    Please read this managers. I haven't been there since about the time that this place opened and we…read morewent the other day. September 2026. What we noticed was it took a while for somebody to see us and there was nobody at the tables and only about six people at the bar on a Friday night at about 6 PM. In no way am I doing this review to be mean. If you're running a restaurant and on Friday night, you're not packed that's a serious red flag because all your effort should be going towards filling those stables during the week because Friday and Saturday are a given. So we can already established that that's a serious issue. Second thing that we noticed is that it was overstaffed, and a majority of the staff was just hanging out towards the back room, talking and everything and then back over by the bar away from the customers they were talking for most of the time because there's too many staff there. We ordered a pretzel. Pretzel was awesome. Very well prepared. The beer cheese was mediocre. Need to rethink on how to display and prepare the sauces or mustard for those pretzels. That's the weakness there because serving them in two cold stainless steel cups just isn't doing it plus the sauces didn't match the level of the pretzel. We then ordered a beet salad. First big issue. It wasn't really a beet salad. It was regular salad taken from a bag. You could tell by looking at all the cut ends they were all browned over. It's really not that difficult to order in salad and cut it right before you serve it. But the salad hardly had any beets at all. Next was schnitzel. That was cooked very good. The meat itself was a little bit tough like it had been frozen. Other than that, it would've been superior. In a little bowl next to it with some kind of pasta with cheese bits in it. As my wife had mentioned, and I agreed it looked like it was pasta that was just destroyed into little pieces and then cheese mixed in. Doesn't look good. We could tell that the chef tried to do a good job with it, but the way it was presented was the bad part. Now let's get to the worst part of it. The red Kraut didn't taste good at all and it's like it had no seasoning at all. We didn't even eat more than a bite out of it. It wasn't worth having. The regular sauerkraut that we had on the other side of the plate had no caraway seeds no seasoning it just tasted like pickled cabbage and sour. Although that may sort of be like what it's supposed to be like it's a restaurant and I'll be honest and I'm not saying this to be mean but I could get better out of a jar. That plate should not come with sauerkraut. It should come with fries that are cut in the kitchen right before it's prepared. The other dishes that we saw on the menu were not very fantastic at all. We didn't have the burger, but I would keep that on the menu. So really needs to sit down with the menu and not just think that you need to have German food but you need to do a competitive analysis because you need to know what the restaurants are serving that are surviving like downtown. German food generally has a real issue in the United States surviving and if you don't get this menu right you're gonna wind up going out of business. I would bet you're losing thousands every month right now. I know you don't wanna see this as a review, but I'm trying to save you. The reason why I'm trying to save you is because I could tell that the chef did some things right that I don't often come across like preparing stuff the right way, like the pretzel and the schnitzel. That told me you have some talent back there. I would also put something in between the bar area and the eating area and I would also change the benches out and put some kind of tables. Yes, I'm German and I get the tables, but this is America and I'm sure you're trying to make money. You can take all of our ideas and opinions and throw them in the garbage or you can use them and succeed. This was our experience.
