    Since 1955!

    Great stop while passing through town. Double Burger and crinkle Fries are the best. Fast service and at the window. Highly recommend, place has been in business a long time and they make burgers right!

    I drove by this place the other day and knew I had to try it once I saw their mural that read #1 since 1955! I ordered the bacon cheeseburger basket which means your burger comes with fries. You know I'm a crispy french fry girl and these fries were salted and crisped to perfection. Move over McDs. We thought from the pics online, we were just getting a small amount of fries, so we ordered a side of onion rings too. However, they don't skip on portions here. The only downside which really could be considered a positive is you will have a bit of a wait for your food. Everything is cooked to order, but it's definitely worth the wait.

    Awesome service and even better service!

    Came into Roseville for the fireworks show on the 4th, saw this little old school type drive up burger place and we decided to give it a go! When we pulled up, turns out they had closed 30 mins prior, however they waived us to come up and told us yeah technically they closed but still had everything going and said they would serve us! We were so grateful!! Who does that now days?? Most employees cannot wait to clock off! May have been the owner there, not sure but we were happy. Now for the burgers we ordered, they were awesome!! Good ole fashioned juicy and flavorful burger at a good price point! Fries were great too. Potatoes and the right amount of crisp. So now my family and I are talking about the next time we will be ordering from here! Thank you thank you Nubbins! You got a good thing going!

    We've passed by this spot countless times, but with the big "Under New Management" sign and summer in full swing, we finally decided to give it a try--and we're so glad we did! It's always great to support local businesses, especially when they make you feel this welcome. From the start, the service stood out. Gianna helped us out and was incredibly friendly and attentive. The place has a nostalgic charm to it--think old-school diner vibes with a local touch. We ordered a cheeseburger with everything, a plain cheeseburger, crinkle-cut fries, onion rings, and a vanilla milkshake. The shake machine had a hiccup after we ordered, but Gianna didn't miss a beat--she gave us a free drink to make up for the delay. Then, just as we were loading up our takeout into the car, she came out with the original shake after fixing the machine. Now that's customer service! As for the food: The milkshakes were excellent--definitely a highlight. Crinkle fries were a personal favorite. Onion rings had great flavor, though mine were cooked a bit too long. The burgers were solid and satisfying--I'd say they're on par with Five Guys, which is a pretty great comparison! All in all, this was a great first visit and we'll definitely be back. Thanks again, Gianna, for taking such good care of us!

    Looking for a spot to eat and stumbled on this place. There is a sign that says under new management. You go up to the window and order. You can either wait in your car or they have a little seating area to eat your food. They call out your name to go pick up your food at the window. Everyone was so nice and even apologized for the wait which was not even that long to us. The food was good, could use a little bit more seasoning but still good. Good portions for the price. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Not a bad place to find.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Dry ass burger gross

    Dry ass burger had to save it myself with mayo ketchup mustard over cooked fries long wait save your money and time. Couldn't even eat half before I got grossed out. Spend your money elsewhere. To the owner & your comment: Your food was nasty period. Both of ours orders were dry, over cooked, & over all a complete disappointment for the drive I made over there & the money we spent not worth it.

    Double Bacon Cheeseburger Basket with Fries and a Diet Dr. Pepper, in the back is a Chocolate Malt Shake. Eating at their Outdoor Patio.

    Hadn't been to Nubbin's in a several years. Driving past it recently, my wife mentioned it changed owner's again and it was supposed to be good. On our way back I decided to stop by. I ordered their Double Bacon Cheeseburger Basket with Fries and a Diet Dr. Pepper. My wife wanted a Soft Serve but the machine was out, so instead she opted for a Chocolate Malt Shake. Food and drinks came out pretty quickly and everything was so delicious! [[HIGHLIGHT]]We ate at their outdoor patio. Tables needed some cleaning from sticky leftover foods and drink, otherwise the surrounding area was still pretty clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was a pretty hot day, in the 90's. Can be a bit stifling in that area when there is very little breeze.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Other option is you can always eat in your car. I'm happy Nubbin's has stuck around despite the changes and tall buildings being built around it. Nubbin's is a Downtown Roseville institution and I hope it stays around for many more years to come!

    Stopped by. It's been a long time since I've been here. Checking out the service with the New Management. So far so good.

    Male employee that disrespectful. Surely hope this is not the owner.

    First time here today, and we had our youngest with us, who had been here before…read more We ordered the mac 'n cheese balls and wings as a meal, the Eureka American, and the fish tacos from the lunch menu. I enjoyed my burger and fries. It was a good deal as a lunch menu item, which is offered until 3 p.m. The fish tacos were decent (maybe a little on the bland side) but still a nice option to have. The wings were dry, which our kid said isn't usually the norm since they order them regularly, but the mac 'n cheese balls were a hit, as usual. Service here is friendly, and the hostesses were warm and welcoming when we first walked in. Our server, Jessica B., was friendly and accommodating, offered solid recommendations, and checked in with us frequently without being overbearing. Our biggest bone to pick, though, was with the chairs in the outdoor seating area. All three of us were uncomfortable and hurting after a relatively short amount of time. I'd definitely recommend grabbing a booth inside, and that's what we'll likely do.

Original review: Seems Everytime we come now there's issues. This time we just walked out! I made reservations, requested a booth then was told the wait for inside would be over an hour. Even with my reservation. There were half booths open and the table that was supposed to be for us was given to another person. (What I mean is she took the table) and the staff didn't do anything. We used to come here every weekend. Sadly this place has gone downhill. I think we're done with this place!

All craft beer and I could definitely taste the quality of the brew! The staff was very friendly and the one gentleman that helped me was so great about letting me try different beers so I could pick the one I wanted to order. When you get service like that; repeat, order, enjoy. I ordered a 2nd pint mostly because I was interested in trying some more of their beers. They had great lunch specials with some diverse options that included lighter and healthier options for a very reasonable price. I ordered the Angus beef sliders, and I asked for them to be cooked, medium rare if possible. If you know sliders, you know that they are difficult to do a medium rare, but this chef came through; my sliders were a very nice medium, rare, juicy and delicious! The caramelized onion was beautiful, just very yummy. Well, darn, it got a little busy 3:00 ish and here I am writing this fabulous review and I think he forgot to bring me my 2nd pint of beer? I reminded him and he brought it right away! I don't drink beer very often anymore, but it was just that kind of day, and a cold beer sounded good. I tend to like lighter bodied craft beers with a strong ABV, but not too fruity and limited dankness. I enjoyed a pint called Flying Fortress it was a single IPA and then another called, Present Tense, = Hazy Single IPA. I would definitely recommend this place and plan to return.

This was actually the first time I visited the entire downtown Roseville area, and I was pleasantly surprised there was a parking garage since all the parking spots in front of the establishment were occupied. We arrived around 1:30PM and observed a fair amount of patrons on a Monday. We were immediately greeted and seated. Loved the decor. After a few minutes mulling over what to get, I ended up getting the French Dip with duck fat fries. I also tried their Divinity Stout. Wow. The food - Amazing! Really enjoyed the French Dip - well sized portion and ended up having leftovers that I was able to enjoy a few hours later ha! The Stout (Divinity) - I need to go back and buy some bottles to go. So good! I'll definitely be back. The one minor gripe was I observed was there weren't any TV's at the bar (from what I can see anyway). I would have loved to head over here as I am writing this review to watch the NBA finals. All good!

We were all ready to go and find another restaurant, but the person seating said to wait a minute. A table was just cleared and she was able to seat us. It was a good thing we paused as we got a table in back, next to the birthday party alcove. When we walked to our seats we passed an alcove with couches and chairs and whole bunch of kids jumping and running around with a few adults mingled in. As it turns out it was a birthday party for one of the adults. They sang to him and he blew out the candles on his cake. The restaurant is quite loud, but not too loud that you could still have a conversation which was a surprised as it was so loud. This is not the place to go for a romantic dinner. It's a pub, minus the year round Shepard's pie. They change the menu twice a year and that's only served fall/winter. That was sad because that was what I really wanted to order. Service was really good, the waiter kept coming back and checking on us. We first ordered drinks, then appetizers. We go the baked Brie Board for the table (there was 4 of us). It was a really solid appetizer. We all over the baked Brie and fruits included. I would order it again for a table of 4. My husband ordered the Monk's Burger and found it very tasty. I agree it was good, but a little on the dry side and the fries wern't crispy enough and tasted old. I got the Halibut. I found it tough and hard to cut into, maybe it was over seared a bit. It didn't taste fish at all which was good. The Cherry and Currant chutney was unusually and addd a good flavor to it. I wouldn't order it again. My girlfriend ordered the Moules Frites and said it had a very generous potion and would feed two easily, though she ate it all herself after sharing some with the table. Everyone agreed it was very tasty. The presentation was good too. It came in a large pot. Lastly our other friend ordered the fish and chips and said it was a generous portion. He only ate half of it and took the other half home and he was hungry to begin with. Parking is street parking or there is a free garage a couple of blocks away and over the bridge. You can see the train passing by on the other side of the bridge. Overall it was a good meal. I though my halibut was subpar and the fries that came with the burger had the texture and taste of old fries, they were also just room temperature when they were borough out. Sadly they weren't piping hot from the frier.

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.
