    Must check out when in the area!

    The milkshakes are good, the onion rings was perfectly fried but the beef burrito was truly disappointing. I even left tip. Service uhm ok. They kept calling the wrong name and the lady slammed our milkshakes in the counter. Ambiance pretty straight forward. Outdoor seating with misters nothing special. Will I go back? Probably not. Or just maybe for the shakes.

    First experience tonight with a dear friend. Whitey Burger (double burger cheese pickles mayo and mayo minus produce). It was fantastic!! So delish. Tried a peach milkshake, OMG so yummy! Probably the best I've ever had. I want to go back tomorrow it was that good, This is the second day of this season's peach milkshakes. If you want a huge shake they have a 32 ounce one, so many flavors. Did I say I loved the milkshake? Great location, plenty of parking on the street but also a great parking lot. Plenty of tables to sit at. Crowded, huge line but it moved so fast. We ordered, they said the wait time was 25 minutes but it seemed quicker. Excellent PA system to announce orders, great customer service.

    We came on day 2 of this year's return of the peach shake and waited in line for about 40 mins after arriving at 11:30 AM. There was a steady stream of folks in line after we arrived too. There are plenty of tables outside and seem to be able to accommodate the clientele well. Some shade is available but other seats are in the sun. No heaters nor cooling was available. The staff were working hard that day pushing out orders. We noticed the online ordering option was not available. We had the peach shake which definitely looks up to the hype, fresh and delicious and not too sweet. We also tried the chili cheese fries, which were fine. A very basic quality chili, tomatoes and a bit of meat and shredded cheese. The fries were also pretty standard. The burgers were good, a bit sour overall with all the pickles, mustard, and Whitey sauce, but the prices were great!

    No frills food joint. They have burgers, burritos, tacos and shakes. Read the reviews. This place is quite busy and food takes awhile so I ordered online. It said it would take 30 min for our food to be ready but it took 40 min. The only things which are ready quick are the shakes and ice cream. You can order at the counter as well. They have picnic tables with umbrellas and a porta potty. Large parking lot. Got the tacos which were quite bland. Also got curly fries and their blueberry cardamom seasonal shake. Liked the fries and shake. Food is decent. Prices are very reasonable for the amounts

    This is what a 1/9th pound onion and pepper burger looks like.

    I have NEVER seen a burger weighing in "9th of a pound". I guess it's inflation and beef shortages? I never ate here before and did not know anything about this "iconic" stand. I saw it as I had to run an errand in the area. Once I ordered, I was told that the order would take 30 minutes. Though I really did not want to spend 30 minutes waiting for a 9th pound burger, after considering the remainder of my day, I decided it was best to wait. They sell beer, cider and wine either burgers and tacos. The "burger" was pretty much nonexistent as any kind of flavor. The onions and peppers were quite tasty. Maybe they should consider a much thinner/smaller bun for this amount of meat. For this lesser burger and a medium drink I paid $10.70. I do not consider that a bargain for what I got. To be fair, I did not order what they are known for. I am not a "regular" nor have I been here before. If I am ever this way again and an hungry, I will try their regular sized burger or their tacos. The property is well maintained and clean.

    Food: We stopped by for the infamous Peach shakes and it was great, definitely more of the vanilla ice cream used overshadowed the peach. The fudge shake was nice and chocolatey. The highlight for me was that everything tasted fresh and well-prepared. The Whitey special's bacon was nice and crispy when I received my burger. Hotdog has plenty of mustard, and the corn dog was super enjoyable with a nice crisp to the batter all the way through. Service: Everyone was friendly and welcoming. The staff was attentive, considering how busy the location was, everything came out in a timely manner for us. Wait time for food was 20-30 minutes but honestly we waited only 10-15 minutes. Ambience: Seating is outdoors went plentiful amount of benches and shading provided from umbrellas and the roofing's. The space was clean, they offered self-service water jug near the front, and had a nice old school outdoor diner vibe. It's a great spot for a casual meal or a cheaper quick bite that isn't fast food. Overall, I'd happily visit the location again when we're around the area and would recommend giving it a try!

    Peach milkshake is to die for. Fries are a nice hit crisp. All their milkshakes are great. Good outdoor seating with fans and misters for a hot day and friendly staff.

    Milkyshake
    Brijet B.

    First off, the price of the peach milkyshake is not displayed. After the first sip, I should have went back and got a refund it was just "peachy milk"; no shake to it! I ordered a medium which was $11.47. Yikes!! The taste was off, like more of a peachy syrup or something. Anywho! I was so disappointed! Why do people in Sac hype everything up? Like seriously! If it ain't 4.5 stars on Yelp it is just mid! IMHO

    If you're searching for a true nostalgic burger joint with a huge variety of American comfort classics, "Whitey's Jolly Kone" will have you covered. This place is a West Sacramento staple where people have ventured here over the past 7 decades. Ever since opening back in 1963, it has gained thousands of customers over the years. Located on Jefferson Blvd (old Highway 84) and adjacent to 13th/15th St., this place has seen evolutionary changes even to the present day. As for the parking situation, they have their own dedicated lot. However, on some of the busier days, this can fill up very quickly. I came here during the evening of Saturday 8/2/2025 at around 7:45pm and it was packed to a capacity. Fortunately, there was one open parking spot that I was able to grab. Otherwise, I would recommend parking your vehicle at one of the nearby surface streets but be respectful as this area has several residential properties in this area. Their food menu consists of your typical standard American fare; burgers (with 6 different options), sandwiches, hot dogs, sides/appetizers, and even Mexican food (tacos, burritos, etc). However, their main treat are their amazing and delicious milkshakes and ice creams. They carry about two dozen flavors of shakes while their "Peach Shake" has been a fan favorite which keeps customers coming back again and again. That is what I had ordered during my visit and must say, it did not disappoint. I do want to point out that if you are willing to brave the elements, this is an outdoors-only diner. No matter if it is 45°F on a December morning or 110°F on a July afternoon, this place is ready to serve their customers no matter how extreme the weather can be. I also want to point out that the last time I have been here (which was around 2008-09), the exterior was far more simple. They have done a lot to keeping customers dry and out of the sun by constructing a giant permanent roof overhang. Additionally, there are several large green umbrellas so this sun isn't blinding you when enjoying your food. Finally, they are open Tuesday through Saturday from 8:30am-8:30pm while being closed on Sunday/Monday. During my visit, I experienced above average customer service while my peach shake was creamy and delicious. And from my past experiences eating their burgers, they are the tasty, no-frills, diner-style burgers that fill you up. With decent prices (even in 2025), excellent customer service, and above average food, I am giving "Whitey's Jolly Kone" in West Sacramento a respectable four-star rating.

    It's been a while since I've been to WJK, and I was starving and in the neighborhood to find Baker Family Wines, so why not? I like that they've updated their outdoor eating space by softening with greenery and adding more seating. I also think it's cool they offer several IPAs and wine, but sadly, I'm on a mission so cannot partake on this outing. They continue to offer their noteworthy milkshakes, and I will get my peach on next peach season! My order was taken quickly, repeated for accuracy and I was glad to find an empty table. My double deluxe burger and ice tea order was ready in less than 10 minutes. While not the prettiest to look at, all the ingredients have a way of melding together perfectly - just as I remember. I wasted no time tearing into my burger, and it was good to the last bite. Whitey's has been around since the early 1960s if I recall correctly, and the food has remained consistent - which nowadays seems harder and harder to find. If you happen to be in the area, best check out WJK - nothing fancy, but sure to fill you up.

    Burnt Onion Rings
    Roman M.

    Stopped by on a busy Saturday ordered online before I left my house and still waited. It went 15 over the promised time which was 40 minutes out. Also to wait that long for mediocre food is mind blowing. I wont be back. The onion rings and curly fries were burnt to a crisp. I do t understand how someone actually pulled those out of a fryer and thought they were ok to serve. Additionally the order packer to still pack them. Where is the quality control. I don't mind overspending for food but the quality better be there because I don't get charged less when it subpar.

    Are they always closed on weekends?

    Closed Saturday-Monday.

    When will peach shakes be available for the 2021 season? Thanks in advance!

    July 1st. Can't wait to try it!

    How long is the wait for your order? Online and the signs say stay in your car.

    We waited about 15 min not too long I only have a 1 hour lunch and it takes 7 min to get there I had plenty of time to totally enjoy my meal and so worth the wait.

    Do they have peach shakes for 2020?

    On July 1 they will be available

    Do they have their peach shakes yet (2019)?

    They have them today, 7/9/19!

    How big is the regular burger?

    1/4lb I'd say

The place reminds me of bars that I would have frequented in my twenties and felt strangely familiar. The bar keep/waiter was super friendly and laid back.

The burgers were soooo good! Cooked perfectly to order and the garlic fries are a must. So perfectly garlicky without any bitterness and delightfully delicious. The fries are perfectly between thin and steak, striking a balance that fits just about any preference.

They're known for their burgers, but even without ordering one, everything we tried was delicious. The fried sweet pickles with house-made ranch were my absolute favorite--perfectly crispy and so flavorful. The mac and cheese was rich and homemade-tasting, and the house chips with salsa and beer cheese dip were a great addition. Our friends ordered the mac-and-cheese grilled cheese (yes, really!) and devoured it, and the Reuben was also a huge hit. Definitely an 11/10 experience. We'd absolutely come back if we're in the area again.

The other downer was there was a fly that kept hovering over us, landing on us and our food. We had the fish and chips. It was good, but it was a little heavy for a hot day. I did like the Caesar Salad, but it was a little overdressed. I did like the flavor when it was dipped in the tarter Sauce. The fish was nicely breaded and flakey. Parking was easy. They have a private lot. I arrived at 5:30pm and beat the rush. When we left at 7:30pm the place was packed. There was a party of guys around 10 people. And most of the other tables were taken as we cleared out. Ordering. It's different. If I remember correctly they used to take your order at your table. This was before the pandemic. Now you order up front from the bar tender/cashier. He really had his work cut out for him. Service was ok. A nice guy asked us if we needed anything and we said vinegar, a 2nd fork, and more tartar sauce. We had to flag him down again to remind him and we still didn't get our vinegar. Or they just don't offer vinegar. They have new menus, but the new menus don't have all their offerings. Which I thought was really odd as they are really limiting people with their new menus. It was fun hanging out with my friend for her birthday, but it's been better. Though we will probably be back, but probably pick a day that isn't so hot out.
