Excellent burgers and fries. Closes early, but great to stop if you're in Ferndale for the day. Get the fry sauce. You won't be disappointed. read more

extremely over priced and very disappointing. We ordered a burger salad, which was hardly a salad. Was served on the smallest pile of shredded lettuce. Burger patty was not seasoned, dry and tasted like cardboard. Paid $18 for a "salad" that was really just a dried patty, and a side of thousand island ranch :( read more

Tucked away in this interesting part of California is an amazing burger joint where the decor is super cozy and chill vibes. The employees who helped us were an extremely sweet. I always love supporting mom and pop businesses although I did get some sweet treats but I saw the burgers looked FANTASTIC. If I ever find myself back here I'm getting one of their delicious looking burgers and another milkshake! read more

No Brand Burger Stand - Sweet treats to go!!! - Burgers Near Me - Ferndale, California

Good size for 2 burger + sides, but not worth the $45. Burgers are missing seasoning and ketchup had ants all over it.

It's good food limited seating all outside. For me it seemed very expensive for my budget.

Really good burger and fries. The shakes are good too. I usually get the cajun bacon cheeseburger. The space is tiny inside. There are picnic tables outside though. I would suggest calling ahead and placing an order to go if you are not planning to eat there anyway read more

Delicious burgers, lot of unique combinations. Good french fries and dipping sauce. The owner is very friendly, we had a wonderful time learning about her life there in Ferndale. Also how her father lead her into this hamburger stand business after he was so taken by an old place in San Luis Obispo. He was a student at Cal Poly SLO and discovered the local favorite hole in the wall Burger joint, called Scrubby and Lloyd's. Sadly it closed after 40 years in 1998, to this day all the "older" locals fondly recall the burgers, beans and potato salad. Never had any fries, so when someone came in and ordered a burger with fries...all the heads turned and knew he was an out of towner! Don't miss NO BRAND BURGER! Tiny little place with beautiful potted flowers all around. The friendliest staff and amazing food. read more

Best burgers EVER!! Service is awesome everything FRESH and SURPRISE onion rings! So many fast food are not serving onion rings. This tiny place is always TO GO unless weather is good...tables and chairs outside dining! Not your typical fast food! Made fresh and the people aim to please! read more

Best of the best!!!!!!! A must visit when we are in town. Flavor for days! Worth the price for the quality. Absolutely delicious.

Had a large group and got multiple burgers, fries, and shakes. Everything tasted awesome. The fries are a lot- make sure to share! Only disappointment was that they ran out of bacon for the burgers halfway thru our order and onion rings. Strawberry and chocolate shakes were super good. Didn't take overly long for how much we ordered. Another large group came right after us and after they were out of food so had to close early. We were sad for the people that showed up right after us :( read more

I had heard a lot of good things about this place, went there as I was around for work, totally overpriced regular flat burger patty that seemed like the type you get from costco. Won't be back. read more

What on earth is a place this good doing (almost) out in the middle of nowhere! We checked this place our while in Ferndale for the day, based on online reviews. We were not disappointed. We got 3 burgers, fries and onion rings to share. This cost about $40, which is way less than we are used to spending on gourmet burgers. The fries and onion rings were fresh and hand made. Really good. But the burgers...the burgers!!! The patties are hand made and hang out the sides of the bun. The toppings and sauces are fresh and spot on. It's suitably greasy, but not too much and every bite is pure bliss. This place has one of the best burgers I've ever eaten (we're talking top 5 here) and I wish we lived closer! (Or maybe I don't for the sake of my wasteline). Also, the ladies who run the place are fantastic and really friendly. Eat at the picnic tables or take it to go. Either way, it's a great meal! read more

What a diamond in the rough. The atmosphere, location and delicious food made this one of my best experiences in NorCal. Their hamburger meat is made fresh daily and shows in the taste. Good service was just icing on the cake and only if there was a place like this in SoCal. Recommend a thousand times over to anyone visiting to try this amazing burger restaurant it will blow you away! read more

I was up in McKinleyville visiting my Brother, and this place was on my mind from a couple years back. It was my favorite meal of my trip, and I knew I had to come back. Well............I made it back, twice, during my trip. Each time, I went with the Big Hoss (Double Cajun Bacon Cheeseburger, fries and a shake...current price $22.00). Absolutely amazing burgers! Huge, juicy, grass fed Humboldt beef. Everything works so well! A great burger! The fries were different than last time (last time was crinkle cut, this time regular fries), but still freshly fried and tasty. First time I got cajun fries (cajun seasoning salt) and then the second time I got regular. I had a strawberry shake my first time and vanilla the second. The fries and the shake were great! Overall, an awesome place. Its about the size of my bathroom, but I'll be damned if they dont crank out the best burgers not only in Humboldt County, but in all of CA. Can't wait until I make it back up there again so I can have another. read more

$102.01 for 3 burgers, 3 shakes , 2 fries and 1 fring (fries and onion rings) feel like I got robbed can't get over the fact that it was over $100 for that. Food isn't even all that definitely not for that price. Should've walked out when I heard that $100 it's been keeping me up at night. Never again . Think the biggest problem is that they charge for everything individually and don't have like a combo but even then it's ridiculous. Again ladies were nice but just to expensive no way is it worth that price I should be able to take my family out to get some burgers for under $100 that is INSANE! They gotta do better , that is just greed. read more

We love them! They are best ! My man's family have a cattle ranch and even though they have the best homemade burgers and fries we aren't always with the family. So we come here to no brand and get spoiled with burgers shakes fries and its locals how Blessed we are read more

This is one of those small town places that the tourists drive by but the locals love. Picnic tables outside and great burgers and shakes coming from the kitchen make it a nice place to eat lunch and watch the world go by. read more

Waiting 25 minutes for a $20+ burger and undercooked fries is not a good business model.

My experience today was disappointing. Honestly Idk if we'll be coming back. $80 for 2 burgers, 2 large garlic fries, 2 shakes and a can of soda. We waited over 20 minutes for our food. Fries were luke warm, shakes were part way melted and sub par taste wise, one of the burgers was part way smushed so the bun was all messed up, and the burgers were kind of bland like they didn't season them. I've been coming here for years, and love supporting local businesses especially when they have good food which in past experiences over the years No Brand has always been great. It seems like the prices have gone way too high, and the food quality has went down. If I'm paying $80 for burgers, fries and shakes there shouldn't be one thing I'm not satisfied with and that wasn't the case today. Like a year ago you could come here and get a Big Hoss meal which was a double patty bacon Cajun cheeseburger, a garlic fry, and a shake of your choice for $22 then the next time I came there it was $30, and now they don't even have that deal on the menu, so you have to buy everything separate because they have no combos or meals with burgers, fries and a drink at No Brand. Ferndale is a small town and Humboldt isn't very big to begin with so it's really frustrating that a local business like this is screwing their loyal local customers. You can't charge big city prices here for sub par food with a "country"/blue collar trailer atmosphere that has 50 flies inside. read more

I was looking for a place to stop to get a bite before driving home and man did I pick the right spot! I got a Double Bacon Cheeseburger and it didn't disappoint. The burger was phenomenal! The pattys were cooked to perfection and so juicy. Definitely making this a place to stop by frequently. read more

This was a perfect lunch while checking out historic downtown Ferndale! The Cajun burger, the double cheese with everything on it.. garlic fries! The food was amazing and cooked fresh to order. The ladies taking the orders and cooking were so sweet and welcoming! Amazing customer interaction. They kept saying they were "excited to cook for us!" So sweet! This literal hole in the wall is serving FRESH GROUND beef burgers as good as you can get it. Toasted bun was perfect. 10/10 we will be back when traveling through Redwood country! read more

No Brand is a solid little burger shack. This tiny eatery is about the size of a small shed, but they are cranking out some pretty good burgers and fries, day in and day out. Still here during and post covid19. They are open until 4 pm daily, call it in and get it to go. Humboldt grass fed beef burgers are the way here and prepared a variety of ways for pretty much any tastes. I went for a traditional bacon cheddar cheeseburger hold the onions, if you have ever had Humboldt grass fed beef its in a class by itself and this burger has great flavor and is juicy and well prepared, with fresh ingredients with mayo and mustard. Went with a large order of the crinkle cut fries and the order is huge and easy to split between two or more even. Light golden brown with a soft pillowy center and fresh made to order - again, very good and they come with the house dipping sauce. This little burger shack is on the east end of Main street, not downtown - slow down or you will drive right past it. Look for the sign and umbrellas with the tables - right next door to KHUM radio. A decent burger shack with good burgers several different ways, friendly staff and a quick turn around time on orders - A Solid 4 Stars definitely worth a stop and the effort to find 00693 read more

No stand burger is def a a hidden gem. I got the double Cajun bacon cheeseburger and let me tell you it was an explosion of flavor. The patties were very beefy and juicy and bacon was savory and crispy. despite its small size I find it very cozy. The staff are incredibly welcoming adding to the charm of the place. For any burger enthusiast no stand burger is an absolute must try! read more

Tasty burgers, friendly owner and counter staff. Quaint, small interior but space outside to enjoy meal with our dog.

Simple place that does one thing well. They use grass-fed beef and serve it in simple wrap in a brown paper bag. LOVE IT! It's all about the taste. So many places have a billion combinations of burger toppings that it becomes more about toppings than the meat. A good burger place should be able to rely on just the burger - but a good bun helps, too. The No Brand Burger Stand offers an authentic burger experience. Coolest thing about it is it really is a stand! FOOD: Very tasty. The burger itself was nice and juicy. I got the cajun burger with all the trimmings and the blend of flavors was wonderful without taking anything away from the flavor of the meat. I love the bun which was different. Not sure if it was an egg bread kind of bun or more of a brioche, but it was soft and rich while holding onto all the burger flavor. Great size burger, too. I got the single and it was definitely enough to hold over a big guy like me. My wife got the double bacon cheeseburger with no bun and no condiments - just pure beef, cheese, and bacon - and had nothing but nice things to say about the juiciness of the meat and the flavor of the burger. The fries were not crispy, but cooked well. For me, that's how I like it so I was pleased. If you're a double fry guy, then maybe not as much. But I was so happy with my simple and tasty meal. SERVICE: Friendly, quick, and personal. What more could you ask for? They wrapped everything well and the food was delicious. They included a knife and fork for my wife's no bun burger which you might think isn't a big deal but considering how many people don't do that, it is. COST: SO REASONABLE! You definitely get more than you pay for. It's not dirt cheap, but great prices for great food. read more

it's probably the best burger I've had in Humboldt yum yum! Better than In n Out, worth the drive to Ferndale... and open on Sundays? Google said closed Sundays but was open when we were there. Will definitely come again! read more

Best burgers in Humboldt! If you want a quality burger with all the flavor, this is the place to go. The black raspberry chip milkshake is amazing too! read more

Great burgers and better shakes. Everything you could possibly need for an awesome American meal. If not too cold, you can eat outside at their picnic tables. read more

Slow down or you might the place. It's nestled in the corner of a long warehouse style building with picnic tables across from it. The burger joint is a small shack where you are only able to order. You can take the burgers to go or eat in the picnic tables outside. The burgers themselves were delicious! The meat was very juicy and flavorful. The only downside to the establishment was the fries and onion rings. They didn't match the quality of the burgers. Overall I left satisfied and happy! read more

The food was good but the tables were messy there was ketchup on the tables. Something that looked like someone pooped on the table

Great burgers and they always are very customer friendly. I really like this place. I come here on a regular basis.

This is the most delicious burger I have ever Eaten! Thanks to the Humboldt grass fed Beef, I have been dreaming about this burger since returning home. I am saddened that I live so far away and can't have one right now. Onion rings, fries, and milkshakes here are not just delicious culinary confections, but works of art. I could go on for 19 paragraphs about how delicious the No Brand Burger Stand is, however I'm just going to strongly urge you to eat here.This Burger Stand is not one you'll want to drive past without stopping. read more

SO FREAKING GOOD! My husband has been here numerous times before taking me today and I ordered a Double Bacon Cheeseburger with Jalapeños and Fries. Don't forget to grab some of their fry sauce too. Everything was beyond amazing and the staff was so nice! read more

Burger did the job, not the best, but no complaints. The white gentleman behind the counter in the cowboy hat made three comments while I was there: "Yes sir, take your order"... I am clearly a female. "Sorry I can't tell with that mask on"...he obviously was not wearing a mask. "People call me a racist, I am the least racist person"... spoken in a mexican accent. Wow! An experience I never expected. Disgusting customer service. I will NEVER support NBBS again. When in Ferndale, don't be fooled by the "Best Burger in Humboldt County" sign. * Not the first bad review on "The guy in the cowboy hat" read more
