Now here's a place that really does remind me of Chicago greasy spoons. And I love places like this. Unpretentious, no fluff burgers... and delicious at that! Food was made pretty quick, though there was nobody queued up when I arrived. Burgers are slightly on the smaller side (imo), which is perhaps why the double is also prominently listed on their menu. Onion rings are hand-made and not factory produced. Their mayo-based special sauce is dangerously great. Give me a bowl and spoon, please. Friendly folks here; minimal 'bar' indoor seating and several picnic tables outside. It's on a busy road so there's fair traffic noise. Unfortunately it's too far for me to be here regularly but I am glad I know it exists... just in case... for next time. read more

The Hamburger Stand - the exterior of the restaurant - Burgers Near Me - Biddeford, Maine

The Hamburger Stand is back open for the season Yesterday I stopped by to grab a menu and after looking it over I called. Barbara answered and took my order, told me the price and asked how long til I arrived. I said I was already there and she said give them 5 or so minutes. Let me say that the 1st sip of the reeses milk shake was amazing. I remember why I don't get them anywhere else. The burger was nice and juicy and had my favorite toppings and the hand cut fries reminded me of the beach, nice and crisp on the outside and soft and fluffy inside it really was the perfect lunch. My only complaint was the straw kept getting plugged by the reeses chunks on the bottom of the cup. If you're hungry and looking to support local businesses try this place out. You won't be disappointed with the food or the amazing people who work there read more

Someone recommended The Hamburger Stand to me, so my husband and I went to check it out today. For what it is, it is excellent. The burgers aren't as good as the best homemade burgers of course, but for a fast food burger, it was great. The meat was lean and flavorful, and the burger was cooked well. However, the fresh cut crinkle fries were the real star. They are as good as the best ones at the beach, and it was nice that it was easy to park, that there was a very clean place to sit, and that there was white vinegar and salt on every table. Unless you want the OOB vibe, this is the place to eat beach fries. My husband tried the poutine and said it was authentic and delicious. If you're looking for a very casual hamburger, fries and shakes place, and don't care about fancy atmosphere, this is a great option. read more

Covid rules applied. The directions are clear, wear your mask, stay 6' apart and have a seat at the sterilized picnic table. Well done! The food is great. Crinkle cut fries that bring you back to childhood. A lobster roll so fresh and chocked full of meat! And the double cheeseburger that needed several napkins to wipe down your hands and face! Friendly service and worth the stop! Plenty of on street parking too. read more

My son, Isaac brought me here to share his experience with him while we were having our vacation in Biddeford Pool! It was great being able to spend time eating great cheese burger with Isaac here while he enjoyed his cheese curds. read more

The kids really enjoyed there food. 2 got cheese burgers and the third enjoyed a hotdogs. My burger wasn't to bad. The only issue I had was I couldn't taste any seasoning or spices in the meat. I really like the bun on the burger. The fries were super good as well. It's cool how they give you salt so you can season them as much as you want. We will be going back.... read more

Burgers , fries and chocolate shake were delicious . We Love this place and the workers have always been great .

Man there is nothing like a classic, thin patty, on the griddle hamburger with hand cut or crinkle cut fries. The Hamburger stand delivers on both, as well as locally made hot dogs and a variety of thick, creamy milkshakes. And while the burger is delicious, the star of the show is the HAND CUT CRINKLE FRIES. I mean come on now, that's not even fair to all the other fries out there. I would consider this place the Harmon's of York county, with a little extra pizazz and oh ya...poutine. Do NOT skip the poutine! My one critique- I don't know if they use a lean kind of ground beef, but I actually felt like my burger could have used just a touch of grease/juice. That being said, everything was delicious! read more

Consistent Quality, Excellent Service. What more can I say. Every visit delivers an awesome burger and the fries are perfect. You dont need to be fancy to deliver quality products. My usual burger and a side of fries today and every time it is spot on. Definitely my favorite burger joint around. Skip the drive-thrus and the chain places. If you want a great burger, this is the place. read more

The real deal. Worth every penny. Worth every minute of extra driving. Pure and simple burgers and fries. I had a double w American, pickles, onions, celery salt, and mustard. Hit every note of deliciousness and freshness. And the folks here are wicked nice. Let's make sure this local business thrives! read more

Best burgers around. Fries with sauce is awesome. Always consistently good. Does not disappoint

What a great place for lunch. Was driving bye and saw this place that we never seen before so we stopped and glad we did. This is an old service station turned into a what I would call a hamburger joint. It's walk up service and out door seating. The ordering was made easy with friendly staff and the burgers are very good. Also, when I attempted to pay the cashier noticed I was Military and stopped the transaction. She said that she had to void my order and ring it up again because they give Military discount to all Active and Retired. We found a great place for burgers will definitely be back. read more

I had very high expectations for this place. Super high, probably too high if we're being honest. Something about small, hole in the wall burger stands really sets the bar high for me. Like Harmon's Lunch, or any numerous Dairy Bars up in the County, I just expect charbroiled, tasty, cheap, perfection. And, well, it was close-ish. Now, I came here as part of the Best Burgers Portland, and my son and myself were excited. Painted picnic tables, milkshakes, fries by the pint, and the classic red and white boxes?!? My mouth was watering as we pulled up. We entered, ordered two double cheeseburgers loaded, a pint of fries and two sodas. (Excited to try their milkshakes soon!) Headed outside, grabbed a nice clean picnic table with a view, and waited. It didn't take long, maybe 7 minutes of idle chatter before my name was slaughtered (always happens). Grabbed the food and back to the table. The burgers were in the classic box, fries in a bag. It was like Christmas morning, couldn't wait to open the box and see the glory inside! First reaction, like Harmon's, they are small. Though more expensive than Harmon's. I easily could have eaten a second burger, as could my 14 year old son, though the fries helped bridge that void. Speaking of the fries, star of the show!! Crinkle cut, crispy, salty, delicious. Though they only give you four packets of ketchup, so be sure to ask for extra!! Made me regret not ordering the ominous sounding 'box of fries'. Seriously, the fries are heaven. Now, the burgers. We had split reviews here. My son said it's his favorite of the Best Burgers we have tried, while I ranked it solidly in third behind PoBoys and RiRà. My burger was good, but, something I never thought I'd say, there was way too much pepper. And for a guy that puts roughly a quarter cup of pepper on everything, including cereal (kidding), that's saying something. I couldn't taste the meat, just pepper. The bun was soft, the veggies and condiments balanced, but the pepper kinda ruined it for me. Now, because I do love pepper, I didn't hate it, just wished I could have tasted the meat more, you know? That being said, my son couldn't taste pepper in his at all. So maybe the cook just went a little overboard on mine in the lunch rush? Who knows. Will I try again, for sure. I love me a good burger, and I love a good burger at picnic tables, inches from a busy road. The danger adds something. So, I will be back, to try another burger, to have way more fries, and try one of their milkshakes. And in case you're wondering why 4 stars if I wasn't a fan of the burger, the fries alone are nearly worth 5 stars in my mind, they're that good. Just greasy, crunchy, salty heaven. Divine. read more

Real smash burgers from a real family biz. Can't recommend enough. Try their special sauce on a burger and/or fries

Came for work out here saw this place ...I don't regret it. Good homemade burgers wow!! Amazing!!! Thank you

I want to start by saying I love their lunch and dinner food. Stopped on today for breakfast and was not impressed. The hash browns were great, very crispy and hot as you would expect. Got a breakfast sandwich and it was served on a hamburger roll, lazy. If you're going to try to expand your menu and serve breakfast, at the very least get some english muffins. You're charging $6 for a breakfast sandwich please at least have one breakfast bread choice. read more

Service was friendly, place was busy! Milkshakes were delicious! My hot dog was ok-I was a bit disappointed they didn't use grilled New England style roll. They scored the red snapper and it was grilled. The poutine was not very good. The gravy had a weird flavor-and there were three huge cheese curds sitting on top. Go to rapid rays for poutine!! Evidently their crinkle cut fries here are hand cut. I saw a delivery guy wheeling in a a huge load of potatoes-so I know for a fact that they do. There was plenty of ample seating in the outside patio-with several picnic tables read more

Have not been there a a couple of years. Our fries looked like they were left over from previous day. Certainly not the delicious "pier fries" that we remember. Price has certainly gone up. Disappointed to say the least. read more

Great food served by awesome people. Highly recommend. Will stop by whenever in the area again.

Expensive but it was a good vibe in the place yet the food was expensive. They forgot to add the toppings on my burger which was fine since they are free but it not being there was annoying two people was $30 but it filled us up good read more

Had a great burger. great food and people. The prices are great. Highly recommend the food.

Was super excited to try this spot based on most of the reviews. Service was great!!!! Gal at the counter was super sweet and helpful. The food was not what I would consider to be better than average. I got a hot dog with chili and cheese and a cup of fries with the special sauce. Hubby got a double cheeseburger with the poutine fries. First off, the chili had no flavor at all, at first I thought maybe they had forgotten it, but nope it was there, just not flavorful. My fries were not the super crispy ones we had read about and they had no salt. They weren't bad once I put salt on them, just not what we were expecting based on the reviews we read. The special sauce was tasty though. Hubby said his burger had no seasoning, but it was just a burger, nothing more than average. Now for the poutine. This was our first experience with poutine and while we weren't sure what to expect we were hoping to be amazed due to the reviews. Whelp, sadly we weren't. It's basically some brown gravy with cheese curds and the gravy itself wasn't very flavorful, I have tasted better canned gravy. All in all, it wasn't awful, but we can now say, been there done that. read more

Owners are amazing and care about their customers! Always a great place for a quick bite to eat, and the picnic tables out front are nice to sit and enjoy your food at. Only "negative" thing is that I wish the food was less "basic"? If that makes sense? It's a great little standard burger stand for a good priced and fast burger. read more

So if you don't go here, then you're a fool. This place knows 2 things really well....BURGERS and how to make you feel at home! It's a slightly misty day but I took one look at this outdoor burger stand and knew I had to have one. IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT! So nice...I added cheddar and bacon to my double burger. Service critique and some taste notes coming up! The lady behind the counter knew something was up...knew I was hungry since I ALMOST bought so many fries it would have filled up the trunk of a 1973 buick... too much for a dude who is driving to see fall leaves and to reflect on how good life can be! Dammit... back to the story... Lady was instantly like family...I felt cold from the rain but warm from this super happy lady and her staff! Man, I want to work at this place...but my salary needs says no... Salt with that little crisp edge to each burger patty. The cheddar was REAL DEAL...yeah, I said it...so what! Real deal..there, I'd even invite my snobby cheese lovers from cheddar holy capital, Vermont, to come sample this beef beauty. Reminds me of texas childhood burgers...fine...simple...don't modify goodness kinda stuff. So want an epic burger? Go here... want amazing and friendly folks in grumpy New England ? I found them...right here. Tastiest damn burger around here... read more

Very good burgers! The counter help was friendly and answered all our questions and then some... gave us samples of their amazing Secret Sauce! Delicious!! She helped with answering questions and made suggestions and patient with us changing our minds. Her positive attitude never faulted! Our party was happy with our selections and quickly devoured them. Fries were plentiful and perfectly cooked. Fantastic with the Secret Sauce! We didn't get to the extensive milk shakes and dessert options. But we'll be back! I wish there was indoor seating as it was overcast and drizzling and sat in our vehicle. But definitely worth the trip!! read more

Solid burger spot! On a Saturday evening it wasn't too busy and the food came out hot and fast. The staff was really friendly! Ordered a beefy burger with American, L.T.O.P, and bacon with a cup of fries and special sauce. The burger was classic all around tasty. The cheese was gooey and the burger was nice and thin. The fries were pretty good but could've been crispier and they were desperately lacking salt! All around not bad though especially dipping them in the special sauce which was amazing. We really enjoyed our meal here and would revisit! read more

Really nice old school burger joint. Burger was very good, I would get the double over the single. Fries and shake were solid. The burger is definitely the star of the them. read more

My husband is obsessed with the burger from The Hamburger Stand. I don't care for burgers but I love their fries and chicken tenders. They only carry chicken tenders during fall and winter, I don't know why. Took my parents there and they loved the food. The food is always fresh and delicious. read more

I never liked hamburgers before I was pregnant. Now I like them a little, so the fact that I would chose a hamburger stand for dinner is a pretty big deal. The burgers here are exactly the kind I like. Not too thick, but not dry and gross either. They have an amazing selection of toppings for a very reasonable price. Their hotdogs are also good. I always opt for one dog and one burger. Now let's talk about the magical fries. These fries aren't only magical because they taste delicious (they do by the way) but also because they somehow stay warm the entire time you eat them instead of instantly becoming cold and gross. The special sauce for the fries is a must have reminiscent of chick-fil-a sauce! Lastly the prices are excellent which is always a plus! read more

At ​first glance, you may think this humble shack is merely a hole in the wall​ if you will, but a fantastic hole in the wall it is! If you are looking for the classic hamburger and milkshake combo, skip the McDonald's​ drive-through (Their ice cream​ machine is probably broken anyway) and make your way down to the hamburger stand for the ultimate ageless meal. Not only do they offer burgers and shakes, but you can also​ get hotdogs, poutine, various sandwiches​ , ​chicken tenders, and even lobster rolls. Skip the dining room​ table and enjoy time in the fresh air, to say you will not be disappointed​ is an understatement. read more

The Hamburger Stand - Cheeseburger and a milkshake - Burgers Near Me - Biddeford, Maine

Holy cow the lines at this joint! It looks like Black Friday at Walmarts or opening day of the Deathly Hallows, gotta join this line, if you see 3 dozen people waiting patiently in line for burgers and fries in the melting hot August sun, gotta be good, right? Oh wait, maybe I should explain that the word "Stand" in The Hamburger Stand is there for a reason. This is a pair of windows in a building that looks like it might have been an auto repair shop at some point. One window to order, the other to pick up. The owners have placed some tables right there on Rte 1, but try to find a spot at those with the line so deep!!! So I joined the line, and once again I realized that I am not a burger kind of guy. The fries were awesome, I will come back just for those, unless the line is so deep. Have not tried out their shakes yet, simply because I can get shake perfection down the street at Sweetcream...... read more

The Hamburger Stand - This place is drawing serious crowds!! - Burgers Near Me - Biddeford, Maine

I had heard about the Hamburger Stand from my parents and they raved about it. My husband and I decided to try it for ourselves, and we were not disappointed. First off, their prices are amazingly cheap. All burgers are priced under $5 and they offer hot dogs, fries, poutine, and shakes. I ended up getting the double burger and my husband got the beefy burger and we split the poutine. Both burgers were filled with the fixings and the poutine was amazing! The poutine was filled with fries, cheese and gravy and totally savory. Portions, price, and taste are definitely worth a try! read more

Who would have thunk the the Hamburger Stand has outstanding lobster rolls? Not me, that's for sure. But for the first lobstah roll of the season this one was excellent! It was fresh & delicious. The roll was not just your run of the mill hot dog roll out of a grocery store. I'm not sure where they get the rolls but all lobster rolls should be on this. The french fries! Oh my. They are as good as Pier Fries (local folks will appreciate this! :) The service is equally as good as the food. I can highly recommend The Hamburger Stand for lobster rolls & french fries. I'm sure the hamburgers are top notch as well. read more

Great food, great people, good prices, large menu. Menu could be smaller..ie get rid of the poutine, it's not good. Maybe if you cut the menu down to just burgers and fries you could pass some savings on to us and lower the prices a bit? When I'm craving a burger now I've been cheating on you and going to 5 Guys. read more
