Well worth the stop. Driving home from U of I and was in the mood for a burger. Wanted a local joint and not a chain. Just Hamburgers hit the spot. Nothing fancy as you can see by the pictures but on point. During the 5 minutes I was there, it was clearly obvious that I was the only non local in the establishment. Eventhough they spelled tomato wrong and only take cash (my double burger with no bun was $3.19), it will be a regular stop over the next 3 years. Quick, easy and satisfying. Worth seeking out. read more

Meh. Expected more. The meat was dry and the taste was uneventful for as long at the line was...

I have been there 2 times in the last week. New owners have changed the food. Hamburgers the first time had a weird flavored bun. Steak sandwich tonight was cubed steak not ribeye like the previous owner used! It was tough and hard. Not good. We won't be back! Milkshake was delicious, haven't changed. read more

Again... If you find yourself on I 57, traveling past, Paxton, Illinois, you have to stop at Just Hamburgers. Today's order.... Two double cheeseburgers, a hamburger, three orders of fries and two bottles of water for $22. The price is one thing, but the taste and quality of the food is another. Really good burgers! Delicious fries! No frills. Perfect. read more

Always top notch and delicious! Great pricing as well. Order, move to the right, grab and go. Easy and quick!

The food is very delicious but the prices are a little high but workers aren't rude and the waiting area is very clean but not sure about the kitchen. read more

Great food and local staple. The service has been great for many years and it's become our Saturday lunch spot!

Solid food, amazingly low prices. Not quite as good as last time, the bun was a tad dry and the burger patty was not hot. My husbands was hot and perfect, so maybe the timing was an issue between our orders. Really good, fresh coleslaw, milk shake was perfect. At the end of the day, we got 2 burgers, small fries, coleslaw, and a shake for $10!!! They were super busy and doing their best so I'll definitely go back next time we're driving through town. If you're ever on 57, make the trek! Love local places like this, happy to give them our business. read more

Delicious smash burgers, fries were good too, and very friendly staff. Very glad we ventured a couple blocks farther off the interstate path for food. read more

The do have other food but go for the burger. Fast friendly service. No indoor seating but don't let that stop you from trying this Paxton favorite. Go early as it is SUPER Busy during lunch!! read more

A great burger at a great price! Don't expect a giant but delicious flavor! Service was fast and friendly also. We had sides of fries and coleslaw. Well worth the trip to Paxton! Well done!! read more

Always a gamble for what type of service and quality you will get. Today the fries were extra salty and the burgers were not even what we ordered loaded with extra salt to top it off. Unfortunately that has been the norm since the change in ownership over our past five visits. On rare occasions the burgers and fries are of the same fantastic quality before the change in ownership but rarely the case. read more

Gone downhill over the years, but still delicious. Not sure how clean the lobby and kitchen are, but still delicious! I wish there was a sit down area. read more

If you are coming here for a milkshake, fries, shrimp, or coleslaw, it's a great choice . Sadly if you are coming for the burgers or service, I wouldn't . This place really changed on me this summer and no matter what time of day I try it, it's never gone back to the way it was. I miss the old "just" . The manager seems very involved and pretty good , so I don't know what the issue is. read more

Stopped her on the way back from the South. It's not too far off the highway. I actually found this place just by accident and was happy to have. The hamburgers were good and they were cooked exactly how we asked. It's too far from Chicago to go frequently but when we head down South, we will check it out again. read more

Food is good - but don't forget to order toppings! I ordered a cheese burger, and it was just that. Wasn't clear i had to order toppings separately, so it was really dry. Also, large shakes are enough for at least 2, they're huge! read more

Stop and Go restaurant with no frills but real good food. Service is quick and friendly. read more

My husband is the burger nut in the family, so I was along for the ride to check out these burgers. I will say, however, that I was pleasantly surprised. Yes, the meat had a great flavor. Yes, the bun was super soft. Yes, the cheese was like buttah. The fries I could have taken or left, but they were perfectly fine, of the medium cut variety, no skin on. And the prices were super reasonable. Less than $2 for a single cheese burger and 80 cents for a bottled water. Any time we are out that way I will gladly stop by Just Hamburgers for a meal. read more

Great little burger joint with a hometown appeal. We come to Paxton once a year to visit family and Just Hamburgers is a must. Love being able to feed a crowd for very cheap and have great service in the process. Burgers, turkey clubs, grilled tenderloin sandwich are always tasty. Only disappointment was the fries. They were not the usual ones we normally eat that are so good, but I have a feeling the pandemic is the reasoning behind the change read more

Haven't been here in several years but was passing through and heard there was new ownership. Thankfully nothing has changed (besides now taking credit cards-yes!). Same incredible cheeseburgers, shakes, and frys. Can't wait to go back! read more

We stopped by today at just hamburgers to enjoy a lunch my wife and son and I we're just coming back from university of Illinois Champaign. As we are heading northbound on interstate 57 we started to feel hungry so I pulled out yelp and looked and what our choices were. We all decided that burgers sounded like a perfect lunch so I plugged in the directions to just hamburgers in Paxton Illinois and we headed that way. About a mile or so off of I 57 we found just hamburgers. It was jumping with activity as we walked in we noticed the place was very small and the inside on the left was a menu on the wall next to the cash register. The prices for the sandwiches and the hamburgers were ridiculously reasonable, they had side items such as homemade baked beans, homemade coleslaw and french fries. We all decided on burgers so each of us ordered a double my wife a double hamburger with mayonnaise onions lettuce and catch up, I ordered a double cheeseburger with lettuce and tomato and pickles and my son ordered his double cheeseburger plain. Fries were $.85 so I ordered for orders of those a small strawberry shake for the wife a small chocolate shake for the son and I had in large diet Pepsi, I also ordered a coleslaw the total for all of this including tax was $21. The burgers were cooked perfectly the cheese melted nicely, The buns were fresh and my tomato and lettuce or crispy and fresh the fries were excellent and the shakes are very good, as an avid diet soda drinker and the lover of Diet Coke and Coke zero I must say that their fountain diet Pepsi is probably the best I've ever had anywhere!! The coleslaw was cold crisp and delicious and a perfect ending to the meal. Just hamburgers is a perfect stop for lunch they are extremely fast and organized they are very friendly and the prices are more than generous keep in mind though there are a couple of picnic tables on the side of the building otherwise you may have to eat your car, but that said it is still worth a place to go for a delicious lunch at a very low price. read more

I'm not sure what you call this kind of place in the Midwest, but back in the South, it would have been a dairymaid. Maybe that translates up here too? Anyway, it's a tiny little hamburger joint that specializes in just a few things--burgers, fries, milkshakes... that sort of thing. I worked at a place like this all throughout high school down in Louisiana, so Just Hamburgers was a trip down memory lane for me. When I first arrived with my friends, I was totally confused. The tiny shop is where you wait in line to order and then wait in line again to pick up your food. I was mostly clueless how this worked and had to get help from the regulars and the lovely lady working. Everyone was super friendly and helpful, so eventually I figured it all out. There's no space inside for dining, so you've either gotta take your food to go or sit outside at the picnic tables. All the food was simple and delicious! I had a double cheeseburger (they're really thin, get the double) and a side of baked beans and potato salad. All that plus two bottles of water--for about $6. And don't forget your cash... no cards here! I really enjoyed my first trip to Just Hamburgers, and I can't wait to go again when I'm back in Paxton. read more

Just hamburgers is just off the road, just 45 minutes away and just amazing. We stopped here late on the way to our flight in Chicago. We each had a double cheese burger with everything, fries and milkshakes. All together we spelt $12.00 The fries are the best I have every had in fast food. Slaty, crispy and hot. The burger was juicy and classically good with a slight crunch. The milkshake was good! Not amazing, but good. I would go back for sure! Keep this place alive!! read more

Great food and even better prices! Double Bacon Cheeseburger and Turkey Club are amazing.

Cheeseburger nirvana. No one else makes a burger that even comes close. The beef they use is out of this world and makes you realize what a sorry excuse for a burger most fast food joints serve. Prices are lower than the chains and service is twice as fast. The fries and fountain drinks are great too. I've tried a few other things on their menu-the steak sandwich, the shrimp, and didn't like those that much. Just stick with the burgers and you'll go away very, very happy! read more

Awesome food. Reasonable priced. Fast service. Friendly workers. Great place. The burgers are amazing.

Where to start. My order. 2 Dbl bac cheese loaded, 2 hamburgers, 3 orders of fries and a small shake only $12.00!! There are no bathrooms due to the small size of the place but when the lady heard my daughter had to pee, she was kind enough to let her use the employe's bathroom. I love the atmosphere. It gives you a comfortable small friendly town feeling. I'll be back anytime I'm in the area!! read more

If you're in the area this is definitely a place you want to stop and visit. It's A cash only mom-and-pop run business. Their service is friendly and fast I had the pulled pork sandwich and a double burger which was simply fantastic. My honey had a double cheeseburger which lasted about 30 seconds. There's no way you break the bank here. Very reasonably priced. read more

Just Hamburgers - Don't take too long blinking, you'll miss it! - New American Near Me - Paxton, Illinois

Great food at such low prices. Tenderloin was excellent and cheese burger amazing. Milkshake was perfect and great service by all. Expect a bit of a line we went when the doors opened and already 5 people ahead. No indoor seating but picnic tables onsite and a park near by to old school goodness. read more

I have grown up on Just Hamburgers. I have no problems with the noon shift. The food is great and the service is good. We have quit going in the evening which I hate because I love the specials. The problem I have is that they always mess up my order. I get home and something is wrong it never fails. After 4 times of getting it wrong we stopped going in the eve. I went back this evening after a long time of not going and sure enough, got home and they had screwed it up! read more

Great place to stop by for a quick lunch or dinner. Offers burgers sandwiches hotdogs and BBQ pork. It's a great value good quality and quantity. It's a carry out and cash only in the area give it a try well worth it. read more

I liked there fry's but to much oil was added in. I got COLD ham AND cheese thinking I would get that but for WARM ham... so salty and bad. Usually this place is really good but not today. read more

Love the burgers and fries. Always friendly and have always gotten my order correct. Customer for 17 years now.

Never disappointed with this place! We make a point to stop when going through Paxton!

I love this place. Prices are Great. Food is pretty good too! I eat here quite often, for lunch. Wednesday dinners are our favorite.

This has to be the best hamburger joint in the mid-west. You simply cannot beat the dirt cheap prices on the food. You can literally stuff yourself for under five dollars. Just Hamburgers serves more than just burgers. Each night there are specials, from pork tenderloin, steak sandwiches, you name it. The bacon is all crispy and fresh, and after speaking with owner I found out the grind their own meat, which you can taste with each bite. I can talk enough about the fries, the are unbeatable. If you are ever in the Paxton area, makes sure to stop by this little gem. You will not be let down! read more

Love this place! It's a go to burger joint. Always busy because the food so good and very inexpensive. We have not been disappointed with anything we have ordered there. They are very quick to get your order ready. read more

Me and my sister got diarrhea both times for eating it also the worker was very snappy will not return

The best places to eat in small towns are packed with locals, and Just Hamburgers is no exception. The service is fast and friendly. The burgers are great. The prices are super cheap. It'll be a bit old fashioned and a culture shock if you're fresh from the burbs, but if you're looking for great burgers at a good price, this is the place to go. Fyi, There's no inside seating. There is an outside patio. People usually just sit and eat in their cars. You order at the counter and then stand and wait for your order. And check the hours before you go, they're not open outside of normal meal times. read more
