Hamburger Station is an Akron institution. That said, never really cared for their style of burgers. Great fries tho! I was very excited to see how they served DiRusso's Italian sausage, so much so I stopped as soon as I read the sign. Walked out under $6 and was pleasantly surprised! Sausage with peppers and onions and it tastes as great as I hoped. They added cheese for me but it was yellow, so some sort of American or cheddar. I'd love to see some shredded mozzarella on this and that's the only reason for a 4/5. Fast and friendly service in a classic fast food burger joint. read more

Used to love this place. Picked up two of the specials, with everything, as my receipt said, drove the half-hour to my house, just to find out there were no onions. Called and was asked to bring them back or call the next day and talk to the manager. Manager told me they could remake them (again, the next day) or refund my money if I brought EVERYTHING back. No apology or offer of a discount on a future order. My husband just ate them as is, which I didn't want, so no dinner for me that night, $27 dollars later. I could see the mistake of putting onions on when someone didn't want them, but the "with everything" order is probably what they're used to getting. Maybe they'll see this and make right on it, but I seriously doubt it. Otherwise, guess I won't return, since I don't feel the need to check everything before I leave. read more

I have been eating hamburger station hamburgers long since it was Thackers over by Goodyear. I remember the dishwasher ending up with the business after a double tragedy with the husband and wife he worked for. All is good except today they seem to miss an important step as the burgers are cooking. They usually would line up the buns and just befor placing the burger they would dip the buns in the gease to add flavor. May not be the healthiest but it adds a ton of flavor to the little burger. Maybe go a smidge lighter with the onions. I like going there but miss the old time flavor. Plus if the buns are a little dry the grease fixes that to. read more

Good slider burgers with really good onion rings. Burgers come with loads of onions, pickles,and mustard. Good local old time option.

These burgers are still the same after 50 years. The same recipe they used to use at Thacker's hamburger comes with pickles, onion, and mustard. The service is still great. read more

There used to be a few more of these places. I think there's only two left now. This place is one of those instant memory triggers. The one that was by Akron U was open way later than it should have been. Lots of bad decisions are made at 2 am. Hamburger station was one of those bad decisions. They have a drive through but I wouldn't recommend putting these burgers in your car unless you enjoy the smell of onions. The aroma will stay with your upholstery for days. There is more onion than burger in these sandwiches. For me this is a once every several years spot. read more

Of course I highly recommend this Hamburger Station! Hamburgers were perfect as usual and those fresh cut fries sprinkled with malt vinegar rounded out my meal. Service here is personable and helpful, and the restaurant was clean and spacious. Can't wait for our next trip up North to visit again! read more

Horrible today is March 4 2025 burgers cold as ice fries terrible all around food is absolute trash never again will I go to this place don't waste your time or money,great service and people but that food is trash all of it read more

Just like I remember. Small little individual burgers with mustard, onion and pickle. These small burgers are sold in 6 packs 12 pack or family packs. These slider burgers are served on a soft roll which makes it even better. The French fries are fresh and the onion rings they slice in house and they are all perfect A staple in Akron for decades read more

The good old days. My dad used to take my brother and I to Hamburger Station when we were kids and bidding my grandparents. Going here takes me back to those good old days. Those are good memories. I can remember going into the place eating our meal sitting on the horse saddle seats. I thought that was the best thing. The burgers are almost as good. Actually, they're really good if you like the White Castle type of burger. When I go I just get the Speed Pack. Two burgers, fries, and a drink. The buns aren't as good as Hawaiian rolls but the come close. The combination of onions, mustard, pickles and the meat is magic to me which is probably why my memory of going here with my brother and dad states in my mind. The fries are thin cut fries. I can't describe the fries other than staying they are unique. Then there is the super magical and delicious smell of the food that comes from the box which is rich and flavorful and makes you want to eat contents on your way home. (I visited during the COVID-19 pandemic and only the drive thru was open). If you're passing by a Hamburger Station and are feeling hunger stop by. You won't be disappointed. read more

5 employees standing around doing nothing. Rude as can be. Acting as if we interrupted something special. One even on cell phone while making order read more

Best food ever Service was amazing the people were great all the workers we nice and very helpful read more

Great sliders, the onions are to die for! Fries, onion rings, and fried mushrooms are all made to order too. You gotta try this place!

Ordered 8 Cheeseburgers... 6 plain with just cheese and 2 with everything on it. All 8 had stuff on it. The cashier also couldn't get the cost of the food right. read more

I've been here before, and they tend to go very heavily on the onions and sauce on their gyros. We specifically asked that they go light on the onions and sauce. What we got was a soggy mess. The sauce and onions were so heavy that our pita bread was very soggy. They were not busy so it's not like they couldn't make our sandwiches as requested. read more

Used to go all the time as a kid! This time not exactly as I remember, they've changed the onions (not sweet) and the buns are bigger and not like the old "bakery bun". The fries and rings are still great! We did take out, they were super helpful letting us call in ahead and it was ready when we got there! read more

Onion rings are the best, fresh cut, and so big! Fries are fresh cut as well. Nothing beats fresh cut fries, so good. Burgers are simple with fresh onion, pickle, and mustard. read more

Hamburgers were grey meat? No taste whatsoever. They used to be cooked in grease. Heavy on the onions. Nothing like I remember. Very disappointed read more

I was door dashing and had an order for here, smelled fantastic. So after my dash I came back to grab some hamburgers. The food was quick and hot but they piled tons of onion onto the burger which had a strange sour taste to it overpowering anything else it had to offer. The fries however are fantastic but I suggest asking for little to no onions read more

Hamburger Station - Onion from one burger - Burgers Near Me - Akron, Ohio

I had went here before. But today the level of disrespect from the manager was enough that I will not come back. I guess you only can get service if you're elderly. I watched as every old person that came in after me was given their food and drinks. I had to change tables because the last one was dirty as heck. They have lost a life long customer. Good luck when your broke old people die ! read more

Love this place! Cheap and fasttt! The starter pack is 2 burgers, fry and fountain drink for about 6$ very good service!

Love the staff, Tim is so sweet! Great food for a great price, my husband and I love the food

I used to chow these back in the mid 90s when I lived in the Akron area...went back with the fam to find myself disappointed. ¿Cómo se dice...basura burgers? At least the fries were good read more

At first I thought I had covid then I went back 3 weeks later and the burgers still had no flavor. Would not recommend to my worst enemy.

I have never had a hamburger at Hamburger Station, but I love their chicken sandwich. I am not a big bread/bun eater, but this bun is very light and really compliments the chicken. Their fried mushrooms are huge and delicious. I also like their iced tea and lemonade. It's a good place to stop for a quick bite to eat. read more

Poorly executed food, uncooked mozzarella sticks, soggy unseasoned skinny fries. Next time I prefer to have hamburger with my mustard onion. Good Mountain Dew though save your money and go elsewherewe read more

Good hamburgers. Love the onions. Decent fries and great onion rings. So why only 3 stars? Because I ordered a large lemonade for... ready?...$2.80! A GIGANTIC cup... full of ice! Dear Hamburger Station, When I ordered a large lemonade tonight, I did so because I wanted lots of lemonade. If I had wanted 10 pounds of ice I could have bought that for about a buck across the street. Knock it off with the ice rip-off - and for $2.80 no less! When a customer orders a large lemonade (did I mention it costs $2.80 ?), give him lemonade with light ice! The assumption should always be that the customer expects a lot of lemonade and a little ice. Why do you assume the opposite?. Makes no sense to me. If on the rare occasion a customer wants 10 pounds of ice in that vat-cup, then make 10# of ice a line item on the menu. I live out of town. I'm coming back there within a month and ordering the vat-cup again to see if you got honest or if you are continuing with the large-lemonade-lie. See you soon Love, Jim read more

If I could've given a 0, I would. Explicitly stated I wanted no onions and no tomatoes on the two gyros. I live 25 minutes away. I called them to tell them how unhappy I was and was told it's company policy I bring them back for exchange? Sounds like great customer service... not! read more

I love me some Hamburger station. My wife thinks their burgers are made of rat meat, and their primary seasoning appears to be grease. But, boy are they tasty! The burgers are slider sized and they use a thin patty similar to most fast food places. Their burgers are most similar to White Castle (minus the slime and bad taste at WC). Hamburger Station uses real potatoes that they cut (leaving the skin on) on site and then fry for their fries. They also have what appears to be relatively fresh lemonade. I've never actually tried anything else on the menu besides what I describe above. But, who needs variety when I can order a Speed Pack? It seems like there are less and less locations each year. So, get your fix in while you can. Just make sure you have toilet access for a few hours afterwards! read more

Every Saturday at the Ellet Ohio Hamburger Station management reserves at table for 3 people. And every time someone sits there the get told to move. Today a 90 year old man who is there everyday had nowhere to sit and he sat at that table, was asked to move and he left. Then another young couple was told the same thing. This is nonsense you are losing paying customers who come there more than once a week. I asked almost everyone in there what they thought and it upset them that this is happening. I for one and my Vietnam friends who are there at least 4 times a week will not be back. read more

30 yrs off and on I worked there. I was the assistant manager for the last 7yrs or so. I loved my job I went to work never called off did my job to the best of my ability. 5 weeks ago I ended up finishing my shift and didn't go back the next day. Things were getting so bad internally that I just snapped. I'm a happy person and for me to snap it was bad. Not even a phone call from the owner to see what happened.the manager filled his ears with bs and he never bothered to call and talk to me. It's a shame to give someone great service for that long and not even a phone call. That goes to show it's all about the $$$$$. Screw your employees!!! read more

Great Akron burgers can't beat this place.Have been coming here since I can remember.

They have a new meat distributor and the hamburgers taste like the worst and most generic of all hamburger meat Grade F . the person that prepared my food had a pet and wanted me to know his dog through ingesting its hair on my sandwiches I just ate there and my stomach is hurting.This is the last time that i will eat there. I have ate there for more than 20 years i am done Night shift employees are terrible. Typing this review is very hard because i always loved this place. They didn't even have the decency to refund the $13 because of all of the hair sprinklings on our food. read more

Waking up early for breakfast was something that I always dreamed of doing in high school, but it never happened. The western motif, garnished with potato stacks all over the restaurant, reminds us that this is a land of free men and we love fresh cut french fries. The tables are loaded with condiments and dousing your freshly fried potatoes with vinegar is to be expected. Heading here with my old high school sweety was a regular treat. The old-fashioned, plastic menu boards with interchangeable lettering reminds us that this is a local fast food operation with character, not a heartless corporate monster. read more

I jus want to say thank u to the Manager for being such a kind and considerate person. I work with seniors and other clients and the manager is so kind every time I come in with my clients. We enjoy the food and the employees are great. Thank u so much for all your help read more

The dinner menu makes me think of a bland version of White Castle. If I were you, I would go ONCE in order to experience the uniqueness, as this is a small, local chain. read more

Ordered the large onion ring, got the regular, nice racket charge a dollar more and not deliver what was ordered.
