I read that this restaurant had bad food grade last year and fail inspection. The recent reviews made me decide to give it a try since it also said they had passed their inspection this year and meet the qualifications to operate. First definitely a lot of choices for burgers and side choices too, my eyes were all over the place and took a while to finally make up My mind. Customer service wasn't bad. I like the out door tables and the cozy indoor for dine in. Looks clean for how to place looks. It's definitely located in a getto area can't even enjoy the meal outside when you got a group of people in the parking lot blasting music and being obnoxious. Either than that for being in the getto area the food is pretty good and has a good taste quality as well. My food tastes fresh and didn't taste like it's been sitting there for a while. So definitely recommend to give it a try. Bathroom is hidden too and looks decently cleaned. read more

We decided to get the double cheeseburger, no fries, a vanilla and chocolate swirl ice cream cone to share. Wow, the burger was absolutely delicious, fresh tasting, yes, my guy and I shared it. I would prefer their burger than inn-n-out. The guy was friendly and gave us excellent customer service. We shared the ice cream cone, man, it was nice and creamy. You can sit inside or outside. It does have an outside overhang from the sun or if it was raining and tables. I need to go back and try their other food on the menu. I would recommend my family and friends to try their food. read more

Stopped along the way to Yosemite to grab a bite to eat. The burger and pastrami sandwich were both pretty good.

Very good burger and perfect bacon! Slower than fast food service, probably because it's fresh and you don't rush quality. Not ideal seating for too many people but it's cozy enough both indoors and outdoors. No offense to the owner but it doesn't look like much, but it's SO worth stopping by. read more

Met the owner on my first visit. Love the food. Very tasty, clean cooking, not very sloppy and messy. Looks like the owner has a decent perspective of what he hopes to accomplish. Will definitely be back again. read more

Meat in burgers/sandwiches is very well seasoned. Fries are cooked perfectly crispy and wonderful customer service. It is a very welcoming place with a lot of options. Definitely my new go to spot when driving through Merced! The atmosphere is very friendly. read more

I us3d to frequent this place. Till one day the sons owner who cooks and is usually mild mannered, accused me of stealing soda when i put some ice in my cup after ordering food for me and my family. I told him he was mistaken. Explained what i did and said i was trying to ask clerk but she was busy. Again he insisted he saw me on camera. I got offended because it wasn't true and he was being rude and embarrassing me. I didnt go to eat there for quite some time. Its close by too. But today i went to be a guest again and said hello, that im back but didn't appreciate our last conversation. This pos still said he saw me on camera and basically called me a thief again! Wth! Wow. I got very angry and gave him the what for walked out and as far as im concerned, nothing but cockroaches in that place ive seen them everywhere!!! Be cautious. read more

This place is amazing. If you want a great burger or anything else that they have on their menu. This is a must to stop by. Best kept secret in Merced!!!!! read more

Amazing Food and Service The Food was fresh and tasty. The workers were very kind and friendly to the customers 10/10 Definitely Recommend read more

Had a mushroom burger. Large, with lots of extras. Very good overall. Just hard to pay $10 for burger only.

We ordered 2 hamburgers without pickles and wala walla here are pickles. The hamburger is a good hamburger the staff is rude, unbelivable and uncooperative. The rude girl who answers the phone, have dealt with before, and the cook insists they did not put pickles on our hamburgers, which I am allergic to. Gee whats in my picture? They told us we would have to get the door dasher back but once I picked the hamburger up from my porch and brought it to the kitchen and opened the hamburger that door dasher is long gone. I can't go down by myself which is why I used doordash. They did not offer a replacement, they would not allow me to have the manager's name. Totally and completely wrong on so many different levels. read more

I was pleasantly surprised how great all the food here tasted. The burgers looked and tasted good, with thick slices of bacon. I ordered the Philly cheesesteak and was initially disappointed that it didn't look as good as the burger but once I took my first bite I realized that this too was an excellent choice. All the sides were freshly fried to order (we had regular krinkle cut fries, curly fries, and jalapeno poppers), and although all were very good next time I would definitely pay the $0.70 to upgrade my combo meal to curly fries. Five Star Burgers truly deserves 5 stars - they are leaps and bounds above all the usual fast food chains! read more

E grabbed the Family Pack it's four Big Star Burger and 4 medium fries with four medium drinks. The burgers are packed with lettuce, tomato, pickles and we requested grilled onions. They have a specialty thousand island sauce they use on all the burgers! It was fast and served hot with the seasoned fries! It was just under 1-2 miles off the freeway and I so glad we stopped. Nothing fancy, just a juicy flavor filled burger and kind people. If you are in the vicinity and looking for a good filling burger, give it a try! read more

Food is always hot and delicious. Must go to! Try there shakes as well. If you are in Merced come try this place! A+++

Food was really good. We both ordered their number 17 Cali Melt per a staff recommendation. They were open on Thanksgiving which we appreciated while we were traveling. Staff was great. We would recommend! read more

The best burgers in town good customer service good management . Awesome place for the family

The best burger joint I have ever had. Five Guys, In-N-Out, etc... don't come close to how great the food is here. I've been going here since 2018, plus the staff is friendly. I would recommend getting the Western Bacon Burger, Avocado Burger, Bacon and Egg Burger, the fries (very great seasoning), or the Chili Cheese Fries (they are a bit salty, but that doesn't ruin it for me). Their milkshakes are amazing as well. I would recommend this place to anyone. read more

I wouldn't give this place nothing less then a 5 -Star review for the amazing burgers with grilled onions and strawberry shakes!!! The customer service is great as well , I highly recommend the place to anyone looking for a nice juicy cheese burger and thick shake!! read more

If I could give 0 stars I would. I went to Five Star Burgers tonight for ice cream with a friend. We walked there and went up to the window where I was approached by a young girl to take my order. I asked if they still had chocolate soft serve, she looked at me like I was speaking a foreign language, after a few seconds of this blank stare I then tried to explain that it was chocolate ice cream, still the blank stare, finally she went to ask someone for help. So finally I order a chocolate soft serve with cookie dough and a vanilla cone, again with the blank stare, "what is cookie dough?" So I began to explain its a cookie but without baking it so it's the dough...she again went to ask something about cookie dough. Finally after a few minutes it turns out they do not have cookie dough. Ok, Reese's it is then! So she takes a few minutes and comes back with ice cream hanging off the sides and a "dollop of Reese's" in top, a mess, melting down the sides falling everywhere, I ask for a larger cup to put it in as we were walking and this was going to be everywhere, AGAIN, she went and asked someone if she could give me a larger empty beverage cup just to put my running, melting, falling ice cream somewhere. "Ummmm so our cups are like $3.00, I could take some off the top of you want?" She wants to charge me $3.00 for an empty cup or she could REMOVE THE ICE CREAM????!!!!" Why would that even be an option. So I did not pay $3.00 for and empty cup and my ice cream literally went everywhere not even a block down the street. Five Star Burgers? More like No Star Burger! Such a terrible experience. read more

OMG I just had my first meal from here and I was blown away!!! everyone raves about about in-n-out burgers this place tops them! if I have the money from now on this is mine and my kids go to burger place. read more

I noticed a new burger joint just opened up in town, off Yosemite pkwy, so I decided to give it a shot! Clean place, few customers inside, nice employees, I find the menu to be overwhelming, took me little longer to order what I want, so I got the $5 burger box that was advertised on their front window (cheeseburger, fries, medium drink). The patty is very thin, sad looking! I like the fixings, the flavor was fine, I'm thinking to myself "where's the beef!" I like the crinkle cut fries, not overly seasoned. I guess I got what I paid for, ha ha!! I really want to like this place a lot, but I'll stick to my "other" local burger joints! I know this building been turned over a lot in the past, I like the fact that it's a burger joint, good luck!! read more

My first order here was a bacon and eggs burger. The wait wasn't long, and the food was large in portion. Probably the only fast food restaurant that made me full with ONLY THE BURGER. read more
