We had a bogo coupon so we wanted to try it out. I got the patty melt, which was super good, it was toasted very well and had tons of sauce and onions, definitely the correct choice. My wife got the bacon cheese burger, and she enjoyed it. We split the fries and onion rings, both were ok. Onion rings were extremely breaded if you're into that, but the ranch was good. I would not recommend getting a milkshake unless you like an emphasis on the milk. My shake was extremely milk heavy and tasted more like I had milk mixed with Oreos than any ice cream at all. Service was ok, restaurant wasn't as clean as some other establishments. read more

I made a whole Yelp account to help other people I took my time to help you by telling you how much of a POS this places is, I came here earlier today around 8 PM and I ordered half of a chocolate pie. They don't give you fresh pies. They have an entirely different area with would look like pies that have been sitting for hours if not days. Also, don't expect to get your food for at least 25 minutes I told one of the workers there to get my pie ready cause I was already there premade and it still took them around 23 minutes for a fucking pie that pre made. Do you think that's all the pie they gave me looks and taste like shit. Look at the image attached. It looks like someone used their damn hands to separate it. It and also they didn't put on any gloves when they cut my pie and they were on the grill prior to that. I paid around $14 and didn't even get a full half pie. The half pie got was probably a quarter pie read more

This location is very clean and the decor of vintage pictures made the experience feel good. To place an order it's done @ the counter. We placed our order and within 10 minutes or less it was ready. When we got our fries, it was hot and fresh just like our cheeseburgers was also hot and fresh. I have absolutely no complaints. I recommend this location if you're in the area. read more

Lovely breakfast to start the weekend. Game and cheese Omlette with hash browns and an English muffin. Filling brunch. Also cooked and served quickly and with care every time. I moved about 25 minutes away and still drive in for this breakfast. The burgers are also tasty. The fries are thicker size and so good. Located conveniently on main street so easy to get to. Private parking lot with store on the end corner of the building. Seating inside is plentiful with a few tables outside as we often have great weather. Been going to this chain for many years in the Bay Area. Thankfully we have one around here. Note to owners: we need more locations in Sacramento area. Come see why this is good food for a happy tummy. read more

The food was amazing and 5 star service but they only had two people working so our food was soooo slow.

Discovered a childhood fave is now in Elk Grove! Nations Burgers and Pies is right off the Sheldon exit at Hwy 99. Got a patty melt and crispy fries...aaaand of course had to have pie! Got a slice of chocolate cream pie. Enjoyed the patty melt on it's super toasty grilled bread with cheese, 1000 Island sauce and grilled onions. Paired perfectly witb the crispy fries. My pie was good, of course! They also serve breakfast...which means I may need to come back to try that, too. This could be dangerous as it's so close to home now!! read more

We were the only 2 people in the restaurant this morning.We had to wait 25 minutes for our breakfast.I don't think I've ever experienced anything so disgusting.I got the cheese omelet and it was like eating plastic rubber.The hash Browns were cold and were like they'd been fried in old grease, and they threw them on the plate to heat it up.The only thing that was redeeming sort of was the warm sour dough toast because I got to spread some smuckers jelly on it. Biggest waste of 30 dollars ever! I there and read the posters on the wall about how we've been around for so long and customer service and food.Greatness is been our Standby through all the years.Well , you're missing the mark on this one.Ugh read more

Should rename to: Nations "Mid" Burgers. We visit this location often for shakes and pie, and for the most part the quality is pretty consistent. The employees are never friendly, the atmosphere is a (get your food and get out) kind of vibe, yet we get our sugar fix. Tonight, on Christmas, we saw they were open so decided to try the food at this location. It was a mistake. The burgers were just bad, the buns were burnt to the point of being inedible. I dont get the hype anymore. The employees were not welcoming whatsoever. Normally people would be annoyed to be working on Christmas, but the employees all seemed to be Muslim (speaking Arabic and in Hijabs), so it should have been just a normal day for them, and yet none of them wanted to be there. Zero interaction, just get your food and get out of my face. The fries were soggy, hardly cooked. The burgers thrown together like it was a food competition and the buns were burnt nearly to ash. Nations was once a gem, the place you went for a consistently good burger and good customer service. Do not expect any of that here. Those cool stories you see on the wall, about a guy trading his beloved car for a burger stand and becoming a proud, reputable burger chain are over. Posted a photo of the bun, at first you will think its a burnt hamburger patty, but its actually the bun. Nearly $40 for 2 single burgers, 1 onion ring and 1 fries - and it was awful. read more

Nation's Giant Hamburgers - Thats a bun, no a hamburger patty. Nearly burn to ash. - Burgers Near Me - Citrus Heights, California

I don't know what happened to this place?? The last time we came here was about ten years ago and we loved the few times we've come here. It has that American diner vibe and we've always enjoyed coming here. We came for lunch since we were in the area. We were the only customers. The manager ran the register, there was one cook and an employee having her break. Hubs got the cheeseburger w/fries and a soda. I just had my usual the chilli dog with onions and cheese. The price has gone up, over $35 including tip. The manager was nice and friendly but this was the only positive thing about Nation's We waited a long time for our food, and when it came out, the cheeseburger and fries were very greasy! There was grease on the fry bag and grease all over the lettuce. My chilli dog was underwhelming. The chilli was salty and lacked spices. We both didn't finish our food, and that's rare when it comes to fast food. So disappointed that our visit was terrible and food has gone way down in quality. read more

This place is horrible. Do not go here. I would not recommend taking people here or eating at this restaurant.

Honestly, just came here specifically for the banana cream pie for an Easter Picnic. Sorry I forgot to take a photo. It did not disappoint. Very good. read more

Nations was one of my favorite hamburger spots growing up in the bay . So when it made to Sac I was more beyond excited. Good food! Good customer service! Just wish they would bring my cherry pie back. Please! And please reach out and let me know when it arrives. TY! read more

This place is criminally underrated here. I'm not if they just don't serve enough ostrich meat or goat cheese on their burgers for some people but if you want A GREAT, OLD FASHIONED BURGER, this a great place to eat. The fries are really good (unlike some other place that is really popular because it's popular), great pies, really good breakfast (served all day). The burgers are exactly what I want in a burger. Good choice of classic toppings. I really can't say enough about Nations. Spot on! read more

I live in LA and when I travel to Rancho Cordova, I make sure I eat here at least once each trip. Today I ordered a hamburger, and Cheese burger. I was horrible. read more

First time trying nations and I knew right off the bat it was going to be a franchisee because of the Toast branded registers and food quality was going to vary. Unfortunately, it was not a good experience. Prices are up there for food that is almost considered fast food. 13+ cheeseburger and fries and no drink. I got the cheeseburger with all the toppings and thousand island. It was pretty heavy and the burger was okay. Nothing spectacular or seasonings that make it different. It's comparable to a famous star from Carl's Jr... Being that the Carl's Jr burger is actually better lol Fries were warm, a bit ruberry in texture kinda like a McDonald's French fry is getting cold. Still edible though. No seasoning either. Now here's the problem I had: The BLT. I have never seen a blt with only two pieces of bacon only making it in the center. I was truly baffled and compelled to write this review. The blt cost close to 10 dollars and I know bacon can be quite costly but two pieces of bacon? No way. Straight robbery. Cheesecake was pretty bad too. The crust was very soft with really no consistency. The cheese was like melting becoming warm and had a bit of an artificial flavor with a hint of lemon??? Not worth what I paid better off going to store brand. Will not return to a nation's anytime soon. You are better off at denny's read more

Oh my gosh, I forgot just how good Nation's burgers are.... If I recall, their pies are equally delicious! The fries were fresh and hot, and the order came out quickly. The ladies working were very friendly and professional and they prepared and served the food quickly and efficiently! The dining room has lots of nostalgic pictures and photos, it's clean and everything is well stocked. I plan to visit Nations more often, I can't believe I've missed out on enjoying their food for probably a decade or more... If you haven't been in a while, you should pay them a visit! read more

Horrible! We have been Nations fan for 20 years in the bay area and for the last 7 here in Citrus Heights. We noticed about a month ago quality went down quite a bit and I said I'd never come back.....well we came back today forgetting that I said I'd never come back again. Service was really bad, hardly spoke English, the burger was tasteless and hard as a brick. The bun was burned on the outer edges and the bun itself was crunchy lake hard toast, also a black hair in my over cooked fries. I asked some other customers what they thought and they just said their meal was nasty and would never come again. I agree, waste of $38.00. I asked for a refund but of course they didn't understand English...How convenient! NEVER AGAIN! read more

Location is decent. Corner of Sunrise Blvd & Alta Sunrise. Though keep in mind. Parking stalls are tight! The food. Aside from this 21st Century mentality of health, fitness, proper food/dietary needs. It's old school diner burger eatery. It is all about comfort food. Once you enter you can smell what's cooking. The menu is simple. Breakfast, Lunch, Desserts. Its a place to chill with no frills. Sit with friends just talk and enjoy the comfort food. Foods you see at a backyard BBQ. A Summer gathering or potluck. Beach or Lake Picnic BBQ. Just drop by and give it try. Enjoy!! read more

Our food was great, hot, fresh, quickly made and delicious. It was a great value for the price

Here are the reasons why I will only give one star or there was an option I'll would say zero stars. So my partner and me moved from bay area to Sacramento. And we know that nations alway serves food burgers, fries etc. So going to another location wouldn't be that different. Nope we were wrong. I came from school, and drove to this location. There were only two people working and one person eating in the establishment. I ordered, paid then waiting for the order to be cooked and finished. Tell me why the person that made the food, prepared everything then went on their phone while they were waiting for burger to cooked. Remind you this guy was wearing a mask and coughing sporadically, and didn't his mouth and touched his face and his gloves were off. And when he was about to flip the burger to cook on the other side. He put on a "new gloves and didn't washed his hands. So I told him, that he needs to washed his again if you're going to cook the food. It's cross termination. You touched your face and coughed without covering his face. And I don't care if you're going to wear "new gloves " your hands are still dirty. The other coworker didn't seem like he care the person was cooking with dirty hands because his phone went off while cleaning garage and didn't washed his hands either. The person who cooked the order didn't apologize. His only response was "thank you come again." And I believe the person they cooked the order was Sarfi I'm not 100% but please do better. Lastly in this location stops serving any type of food including serving pie after 10:20pm, I know this because we tried to order from this location at 10:20pm. After 10 minutes we got a response they the restaurant stops serving food. Even though this restaurant closes at 11:00pm. Don't your time or money after 10:20pm. read more

If you're craving a classic American burger, this is your place. Grilled meat and cheese with lettuce and tomato on toasted buns. Don't forget to add grilled onions and pickles in your burger. It gets messy since the burger is pretty big. I usually get full with just eating half the burger. Fries are perfectly crunchy outside and soft inside. Don't forget to leave room for pie too! read more

Had the pie we had been looking for. Was of good quality, Wish it was closer to our home

So at first glance the place looks nice and its clean. Has a nice lil modern diner feel and a pie case. The service was iffy kinda like couldn't care less if we were there lol. I thought it was weird that the food was a la carte but vibed it out anyway. We got a patty melt, a western burger bought onion rings and fries separately and a bowl of chili. Came out to be like forty buck for two people. Kinda tracks with inflation. I did like the burger and the onion rings. The fries were acceptable . The bowl of chili however was disappointing and misleading. The chili came in a small cup which hardly looked 8oz(definitely not a bowl)and didn't come with cheese for 5$. Honestly a can from the store would have tasted better. I dont think ill be back. If i do ill probably stick to the burgers and rings. Overall the place caught my attention and has potential. If they would tinker with the recipe a bit and revamp their customer service i think it could turn around. Shoot, maybe get a liquor license and sell pitchers. Maybe have discounts or even lower the food cost a bit because the portions were rather small for a place that boasts the biggest burger. I kinda wonder if the breakfast is better? read more

Place is clean walked in was greeted menu is easy to order. Food took about 15 min I was the only one inside. came out fresh however was one of the most bland burgers I've ever ate. If I had to guess what prison food is like this would take it. The fries were not flavorful. I mean maybe the pies are good didn't try that. read more

We bought two pies, one blueberry cheesecake, which was fine. And the other was a pecan pie that was rotten. We went to return it and they refused to take it back or refund our money or give us another pie. It smelled terrible. We brought the whole pie back minus as the bite that we took out of the piece. The employee try to plead our case to the manager, but the manager refused. Terrible, terrible, terrible , and we will never be back. It's not like those pies are cheap. Absolutely disgusting that the pie was rotten and it smelled disgusting. read more

Love there pies breakfast and burgers are great too love the pies tho favorite part banana cream pie

You can't go wrong when having Nations. Great burgers and I love their pies. I suggest their new Patty Melts and a slice of Lemon Meringue. I recommend any Nations as I have eaten at many since having a burger at the one in San Pueblo, CA. Enjoy! read more

Good burger and fries. Nice clean dining area. Would eat there again. Service was fine..

I love Nation's pies! I usually get a whole chocolate cream pie. Years ago my husband and I tried the burgers. I thought they were to big. Very full after eating burgers and fries. We would take a slice of pie home. After awhile, we just came for the pie. I have gotten the lemon Meringue pie for my Dad's birthdays over the years. This past week I was craving a Hamburger. My husband had a different idea, but still wanted to stop by and get a pie. I told him I wanted a Hamburger. He said then let's just go and have both burgers and pies. I usually do not like produce on my burgers or sandwiches. Since its been awhile I wanted to try the burger as they make it. I still asked for no pickles. I can't stand pickles! Then we noticed menu said pickles on request. I lucked out. Our food was ready..tons of luttce (not the shredded type, that was a plus). Three huge slices of tomatoes and a slice of onions. The tomatoes looked beautiful! I couldn't eat that many I left one in my burger to try. Tasted so yummy I had to remove some of the luttce since there was a lot. The cheese was a thick piece I could taste it as I was eating the burger. Next time I will try with the grilled onions. I wanted to try regular this time since I haven't had it that why in awhile. The fries and onion rings were good. We both had a soda. Also ordered pies for dessert. We ate it all! Didn't bring anything home this time. But I missed not having a whole pie at home. We will be back. The service was amazing also! Everyone very friendly and helpful. The restaurant was clean. read more

Let's see where do I start . My wife asked if a drink comes with a meal and he says yes then when we look at the receipt he charged for a drink to addition to the meal price. I ordered a burrito and it was changed to something else that was $3.00 more the manager/owner of this place decided to change my order . Then when I said I had ordered the burrito he says I make it a burrito for you but didn't want to change the price . My daughter ordered pancakes and the pancakes where so hard you need a knife to cut them. My other daughter order the slider meal and after eating one of them she felt sick all the way home . With regards to the cleanliness of this place I don't know where to start. The was no clean tables the creamer container for coffee had no lid on it and wasn't cold . But the main thing was how the manager treated me and my family. I own a business and I would never talk to a customer like that. read more

Wow, their prices have really increased. I ordered 2 bacon cheese burgers, ($12.55 each). One of them didn't have a burger patty in it. Of Couse I didn't find this out until I got home. There is no phone number on the sales receipt. I looked the number up on the web, and called. The kid answering the phone didn't really care. I said I would never eat there again. He said, "That's OK". read more

Nation's... it's a NorCal thing (mostly Bay Area) Hamburgers, breakfast, pies, shakes... they offer an eclectic menu. I had the cheeseburger and I forgot how huge these burgers were. I didn't know where to start. No skimping on anything... thick juicy 1/3-lb beef with 2 thick American cheese slices (melted) and all the toppings: 3 thick slices of onions, 3 thick slices of tomatoes, lots of lettuce folded over 3x and Mayo slathered on the buns. It was messy eating it but so yummy. I also got a slice of custard pie. It was okay... I've had custard pies which were more flavorful especially the kind found in Filipino and Chinese bakeries. Their Banana Crème Pie is delicious. I bought a whole pie to bring to work and my co-workers enjoyed it. We bus our own tables so empty trash in the receptacles and leave trays on the tray shelf just above. Just a few noticeable minor takeaways: The napkin dispensers on the condiment table need refilling. There were 3 empty napkin dispensers and no team member was checking them to refill. Lastly, the restaurant could do better on the cleaning part, the sides of the table I was seated were displaying residual food that wasn't wiped down. It look like the dried food debris has been there for some time. This could just be an isolated issue. 3.49 Stars I'll be back to try their breakfast... Review #0170 updated read more

Super clean and quiet restaurant. As a Bay Area native I missed these burgers when I moved. It was just as I remembered juicy and delicious. The real thing to remember here is the pie. All the flavors are great but the lemon cream it's amazing. Employees are gracious and knowledgeable. Breakfast is good too. read more

The place was clean and the staff was friendly, but that's where the positives end. The food is well below average. It cost almost $40 for a grilled (burned) ham & cheese and a regular hamburger with a side of soggy fries and two drinks. A fast food drive-thru would do a far better job for this price. read more
