New owners ruined this amazing classic burger joint!! I used to order from here once a month and spend over $80 on the fam but I cannot any longer. Not the same business it was !! The food is diff the service is diff, And halal meat now , no thank you!! Burgers used to be juicy and well put together, now it's dry or last time over cooked, I got the end piece of a tomatoe and onion on two diff occasions. The inside is not clean, tables weren't wiped down and homeless sit inside read more

Was kraving a burger and stumbled upon this spot via Yelp. So happy I visited because this place hit the spot and gained a new loyal customer! The food is prepared fresh to order (literally watched them cook my food from scratch lol) and you can taste the quality. The service was super friendly and accommodating and recommended items to me. Overall, highly recommend if you're kraving an authentic burger and fries (or onion rings) or milkshake read more

New owners. Burgers are now on the dry side and they just don't taste the same. It's great that they've kept the restaurant alive but I don't think they use the same quality ingredients read more

The second time I came here and gave them a shot. This time they failed again. I ordered fries and a side of cheese. Well the cheese is advised at 0.69 cents and was charged 1.99$ for burnt cheese with hair inside the cheese. The sanitary conditions need to improve. The cashier was using gloves he handled food with to ring me up and didn't change gloves. Then I see the cashier / food handler shubham grab his private area and continue to fix food with the same gloves. Don't recommend. read more

Outstanding! Food was fresh, service was warm and attentive. I really enjoyed the cheeseburger combo meal. The burger tasted homemade. Thick and juicy and I added grilled onions. You will need a lot of napkins! I literally felt like I ate the cleanest high quality food available. Yesenia was so kind and attentive. She checked on each guest and was knowledgeable about the Halal process. I Can't wait to try this spot again. read more

From the moment we walked in I knew it was gonna be a good experience. We were greeted so kindly by Yesenia and the place was so clean and had a good vibe. Our food came out piping hot and fresh. The bun was so soft, the produce was so fresh. The fries were hot and crispy. Yesenia was so helpful and attentive. We know the ownership changed a few months ago so if you haven't been there recently definitely give them another shot. We'll definitely be back. read more

This is a long story, I'll try to compress it. 1989 Burger Junction opens with brothers Ben and Sal operating the business. IMMEDIATE SUCCESS. A local car show "Florin Fat Fenders" joined every Saturday evening from spring until about Halloween time and it was a great scene. It was one of my favorite places as a kid. AMAZING burgers (The grand always did it) and cool cars. The formula worked. Time passed, the neighborhood got a little rougher, brother Ben left the picture from what I saw and although the food remained good, things like upkeep started to slide. Sal kept the ship afloat as long as he could. 7 Months ago Sal sold the restaurant to another family. The new owners added Chaat/Halaal selections to the menu. My Parents weren't crazy about it as they said it tastes different. I had to go see for myself. The Food: Yes, they were right, the food does have a different feel to it. The proportions of all the ingredients is not 100% there...yet. The bun is a little much for the patty and the burger seems to fall apart. The bun seems the same but its harder to cut for some reason. The patty (and in my case the pastrami) is different because it is halaal. However those flavors aren't it's undoing. My patty was a little overcooked and shrunk to a size that was disproportionate to the patty. The Pastrami was good but it was much thicker than previous and lost its balance of flavors. Our order was mixed up too. These are all little things but really add up. I'm hoping the chef can take this as constructive criticism as I'm hoping they succeed. The Ambiance: I'm really glad that the new owners are trying to clean the place up. There are new wall treatments and the Bathrooms look like they've been slightly remodeled. I saw buckets of paint and remodeling supplies in the back area and that was a great sign. The move to digital signage is a huge step in the right direction and the 21st century. Florin Fat Fenders: I'm really glad this part of the formula was retained. I was walking the show and overheard people mentioning that was a part of the contract when selling the business. As with my aspect of car culture you really have to work to keep it alive. A lot of folks who have Hot Rods are getting older and it becomes a lot of work to keep the culture alive. I'm glad they are making th effort. In closing there were a lot of positives to my visit today. I'm hoping the new owners can keep developing the business and bring it back to its former glory. I'm sure their wallets will appreciate that too. read more

The employees at burger junction are pretty respectable, and they get the food out quickly. The insides reminds me of the mid 1900s. The perfect place to go after a long shift. read more

Burger Junction - Curly Fries s Cheese Curds - Burgers Near Me - Sacramento, California

So good! First let me say the curly fries were so crispy and crunchy. The restaurant has indoor seating however it is small with limited tables. This is an order at the counter type of spot and you can dine in or take-out. We also ordered the cheese curds, onion rings, a milkshake and 2 burgers. The pineapple milkshake was delicious! It tasted like a dole whip but with fresh chunks of pineapple! They blend the milkshakes right in front so you can see how fresh it is. The burgers were huge and very tasty! read more

Ordered the junction burger meal. Burger was ok something about it didn't taste fresh at all. Crinkle cut fries also was a little hard. Both being lukewarm temp. Only person at the time and it took quite a while. Was expecting higher standards for 17$. Good people non the less Thought it was funny when I got home and opened it up. Guy said he added ketchup like he was doing me a favor. I had 2 small packet lol read more

i wanted to like this place from the good reviews but sadly we did not like the food very much. the cashier guy was nice. my kids chicken strips were burnt and fries were blah.. their beef patties were good but the burger buns def had to go. 3 stars for the nice cashier and him bringing out our food. read more

Best Burger in the town awesome food taste and staff is really friendly and professional great Service

Tasty but Way. Too. Much. Bread. There's a 4 star burger buried in that baguette. Most ridiculous case of overwhelming the burger patty with bun I've ever seen. At least the bun WAS above average good though. read more

I used to love this place when Ben and Sal was running it now it bad I came for there lunch specials the guy give me the gaint junction meal but it does not look like a gaint junction nor did I ask for bacon on my burger there bacon is weird too don't like it horrible taste the fries was under cook just so much wrong the sprite was fresh that best thing I can say is the food was edible read more

This place is not any longer what it used to be... GREAT Now under new ownership the meat is either overcooked or undersized. I strongly suggest the new owners read the customer's reviews and change things for the better before it's too late. Inside it's just as it used to be before no complaints there. Place is quiet and ambiance is all right. Looking out the window you'll see occasionally a homeless or someone pushing a cart. Area is just like everywhere in S Sac. Kinda ghetto but so is many big cities in California. 3 stars overall read more

New owners. My daughter's burger was uncooked...mine was well done. When I told them of her uncooked burger, he said "I serve all my burgers medium." How? Mine was well done. I ordered the Chilli burger...the beans on the side...nowhere near 'chili'. The bun was significantly thick and I couldn't taste the contents of the burger. Honestly, I could've ordered and ate the beans alone. We ordered onion rings to share...I paid $5.99, for 5 onion rings. I can say the servers were pleasant...outside of them trying to justify that undercooked burger with that bogus excuse. I honestly have no intention of coming back. read more

Cashier was very nice and greeted us when we entered and we talked after we ordered and she told us about being the new owners and taking over about 2 wks ago. We left after receiving our food and we didn't realize until we got home that the shakes were great but our food was burnt and inedible until we got home and we were so tired and disappointed that we didn't even want to give it to our dogs it was that burnt/hard. I honestly don't see us going back unless its for a shake. 2 Fish &Chips, 2 Fried Zucchini, & 2 Fried Mushrooms, cheat day ruined! Date of service July 25th 2025 read more

Shakes and service are immaculate. I love this place. The food is pretty cheap and you actually enjoy a good portion for your money. Highly recommended. read more

I've been coming here for years and didn't realize that ownership had changed. The new owners seem like a nice family but might not be their best business decision to take over what was known as a local favorite. We gave them a shot anyway (they say they kept the recipe the same) and so ordered our usuals: 2 Grand Junction and onion rings. It wasn't bad but it was not the same. The burger was on the dryer side, the buns got soggy. I don't remember having difficulty with the buns before but my burger fell apart halfway through eating, not sure what happened there. The pastrami was disappointing. It wasn't the same as before. I'm pretty sure they're using a different brand/vendor for their ingredients which can play a big part in the flavors. On the other hand, the onion rings were the same! The ambiance also changed a little, they did a little redecorating and updated the POS system but kept the tables/chairs. No longer the old manual cashier I used to love to hear, no longer the train decorations on the wall. No longer the old-school vibe that makes a young millennial like myself feel like I've traveled back in time. ESPECIALLY, no longer Uncle Sal cooking in the back. We used to love going there hoping to see Uncle Sal. And when he was cooking, we were excited because we knew our burgers were going to be extra fantastic that day. I miss him. Hope he's enjoying his retirement because he deserves it. But selfishly I wish I could just have 1 more burger made by him. I hope the new owners find their way with this business and maybe they can slowly transition out and make this fully their own. read more

Tldr: food fresh and great but not service Food: 5 stars Service: 1.5 stars unfortunately not the best since cashier was unfamiliar with the menu When ordering a garden burger make it clear it is a veggie burger you want. We got a garden salad twice even though on their menu it says "garden burger". On top of that the cashier wanted me to pay a third time for the actual garden burger (l had already paid twice and kept the first salad) instead of exchanging the 2nd salad for what we actually wanted. I unfortunately had to get the manager involved who agreed to not charge us for the exchange but did want the 2nd garden salad back. Their food is fresh and great but be prepared for a similar mishap. read more

Burger Junction - Garden Burger aka veggie burger - Burgers Near Me - Sacramento, California

Always a solid burger. The pastrami is light & doesn't distract from the flavor of the beef. I recommend a side of the thousand island sauce. Ambiance is old fashioned burger joint. New ownership didn't change the quality of ingredients or flavors. Whenever I'm around I try to swing in for a burger. I recommend getting a giant junction instead of the grand junction as the meat to bread ratio is better in the larger burger. Service is standard and nice. Will be back! read more

Excellent customer service. Chargrilled burger was awesome. Fries extra crispy!!! The decor is a little outdated but the place was clean.

So I read the reviews and was wondering what was all the hoopla about, sampled several of their offerings and did not taste anything amazing, hmm possibly went on an off day, below is what I sampled and how everything faired Chilli cheese curly fries - heavy, lathered with chilli and cheese, curly fries didn't last a chance with this dish, sample this when you get to your car so you still have the piping hot crunch of that fresh fried food Junction burger 1/2lb - burger included pastrami, it was seasoned well, not massive, I thought it was good but not oh my god I have to come back here again, ha oddly maybe an off day Plain hamburger - for the kids, fairly large burger with no toppings, per the kids, could of been seasoned more??? They never say that haha Chicken salad - Lettuce not cut evenly, huge chunks, looked like it was all thrown together if not rushed, chicken breast was dry, made my own salad dressing and opted out of the ranch provided still did not save the salad Fries - for the kids - piping hot, no crunch, semi seasoned, sadly the kids said they think McDonalds makes better Vanilla shake - small glass served in an old school frosty type cup, the kind you use for ice cream, nostalgic, very small cup, it was good per the kids food *** just ok price $$ service **** helpful staff ambiance ** older spot, it shows, older gentlemen cooking and 2 younger ladies prepping and cashing you out, tables are wiped down but not fully cleaned, during covid you cannot eat in but this spot I would have taken it to go regardless read more

So it was my turn to buy lunch for me and the work crew, I told them, "I buy, you guys decide" it's been a while since I've been to Burger Junction, me and my salesman had the Philly Cheese Steak and our associate had an Avocado Burger. Let me tell you, they do not skimp out on the fries or the meat that goes in the burger or the meat that goes in the Philly cheesesteaks. Both were delicious and I highly recommend Burger Junction! It's very clean, the workers were very attentive. Everything was in its place still has that a hot rod nostalgic vibe due to all of the pictures on the wall. Sorry, ate my food before I realized I need to do a review.,, NICE JOB Burger Junction! read more

Wow! I never thought Sal would sell off like that! Meat is "different" so is the flavor, portions etc. Used to be my favorite go to burger spot.

Taste of food is next level...Specially, their Cheese curds, Strawberry Pineapple Shake, pratha rolls and Burgers. Service is very quick and owner is a very nice guy. He also gave me 10% discount. Best halal option in Sacramento read more

1/3 lb. and 1/2 lb. Juicy burgers and thick fries! YUM!!!! Small hole in the wall spot. But dont let the looks fool ya. Inside they flame broil the burgers fresh! Served on a yummy toasted bun that has substance! Not a fall apart bun. Thick fries or Curly fries. Soda fountain all you can drink! With a price that is fair. Two thumbs up! I had the Grand Junction Burger. It has Patrami w/ a 1/2 lb patty perfectly cooked! Juicy and hot with all the fixins! Plus Curly Fries. Mmm so good ! It look good and tasted awesome! My wife had the bacon burger w/ regular fries. She is a french fry connoisseur. They were quite tasty! Worth the drive and definitely worth the price! ( which was not bad at all) read more

Exceptional burger and fries at a good price. Nice decor. Music wasn't blasting. Nice place to take the family.

I ordered take out today, and was very disappointed because they forgot 3 of my items for my order. How are you going to forget the dip for a French dip sandwich! No ketchup no mustard no side of ranch that I ordered, no napkins. Burgers are dry curly fries taste like the oil needs to be changed. Don't waste your time. McDonalds is better than this. read more

My husband stopped in to get some burgers and asked to get grilled onions on both of our orders. The cashier said that they couldn't do grilled onions on our burgers. So I was already feeling disappointed because I saw recent reviews that had grilled onions on their burger... It was my first time trying the place and it was just ok. I didn't really care for the bun, it tasted kinda waxy and I really hate raw onions so i had to pick those off. I don't plan on coming back and will not recommend this place to anyone. Like what kind of burger place can't grill onions for your hamburger? I will take my business to another burger place where grilled onions is possible. read more

Very good bacon cheese burger. Fries were solid. Location is sketchy but the food was worth it.

I have been a customer of this business for over 40 years. Always had excellent service and awesome food, until the new management took over. The signature burger "grand junction" is not the same even though they claim to not have changed it. The bun used to be one of the highlights of the burger, not currently it was tough and the burger had very little pastrami with too much sauce. Also prices were higher but that's a sign of the time. They are trying to keep the burger joint / hot rod vibe, but I don't think it's working with the Indian food atmosphere. Quality and knowing customers is what kept Sal there for decades. read more

Just went to Burger Junction with my family. I wasn't aware but I think it's been sold the previous ownership. The menu has some additional items and the burgers, fries and onion rings were all on point. We'll definitely be back. read more

I never knew this place existed until my significant other saw it on the web. The prices they have are like nations and five guys which isn't really cool like why charge so much for a burger then expect people to buy fries and a drink individually when the price alone for the burger is like a meal at mc Donald's Burger King Wendy's etc. the restroom for women was really dirty which isn't okay because it makes you question how do the employees wash their hands in such filth. My food on the other hand was alright I just can't stand pink meat even a little in my burger and it agitated me so bad and spoiled my appetite so made me enjoy the food less though the fries were good not over cooked or in heavy oil/old oil though places like this need more drink options though I'd recommend this place to a family or friend. read more

Well unfortunately burger junction has been sold and taken over by new owners. I hate to say that the burger today was the worst I have ever had. I have been going there for 40 years and every time the burgers were consistently good, but not anymore. The Giant Burger was over cooked, dry and small, hardly any pastrami was put on the burger. I unfortunately will never go there again. It was a good run for 40 years, but no more. The old Burger Junction is dead. If you don't believe me, try it for yourself, but I don't recommend it. read more

It is so sad when other owners come in and cut corners of a great place we will not be returning back read more
