Nation's is a great place to buy dessert. My favorite is the chocolate crème pie. I also enjoy their cheesecakes and banana crème pie. The chocolate crème has the perfect texture and is really chocolatey without being overly sweet. They offer a discount on certain pies after the holidays. I can't remember if it's buy one, get one free, or half off, but it's a really good deal. Nation's has a diner feel with its decor. The employees are nice. read more

Nation's Giant - BANANA CRÈME PIE (WHOLE) - Burgers Near Me - Elk Grove, California

An oasis in the area is most welcome. Love this chain for many years so thrilled I can pick up lunch of a Bacon Cheese Burger (no onion), fries (some of the best), and a large Diet Coke. All for the road. Clean and modern woth fair size parking lot shared with Starbucks. Smaller size indoor and outdoor seating but enough for most times. Clean location and welcoming staff. These three ladies are right on top of things. read more

Did you know you can get half of a whole pie? I was craving a banana and wanted a chocolate pie but didn't want to get just a slice each, incase my kids wanted some. I just know we couldn't finish 2 whole pies! At Nation's you can get half a pie or a slice! The restaurant is a bit small, but has seats to sit and enjoy your food. They also serve breakfast and cheeseburgers! Service is nice and friendly and my pies were cut and packed quickly. The banana pie was light and delicious with fresh bananas inside! My fav! The chocolate pie was also delicious! So creamy and their crust is like a light pastry puff crust. A great place for pies. I'll be back to try their other flavors and their burgers one day. read more

Came here for burgers. Got two hamburgers and one order of fries to share. Burger was okay, was a good sized pattie, but didn't even have a couple of pickle slices included. The condiment inclusion was a little skimpy. They cook to order, so I can imagine the long wait if you came while it was busy. There isn't enough in the restaurant to distract you while waiting, so the wait is tedious unless you bring something to read. I noticed they have all-day breakfasts available. In fact, it was the whole left side of the overhead menu. If you don't mind a plain burger, this place is "okay,". Nothing I would go out of my way to eat at again. read more

I have passed by this Nation's fast food many visit to Starbucks but finally decided to take advantage of their promotions and give them a try. Their food are made to order so you have to be patient. My Patty Melt was exactly have I expected it to be... very greasy and it needs some pickles to balance up the flavors and my wife had the Wild Salmon burger and we both think it's too fishy . The wheat bread and the sandwiches falls apart so I presumes they don't specializes in burger as most other patrons order from the all-day breakfast menu and I do see they have lots of pies. Overall, food not what I expected and will probably not try again. read more

Nation's Giant - The art on the walls - Burgers Near Me - Elk Grove, California

This was our first time visiting Nations Giant Burger for brunch, and it definitely won't be our last! Courtney was amazing--she assisted us at the counter taking our order and also cooked the food. That kind of multitasking and dedication really stood out. We ordered the grilled chicken with onion rings and the breakfast sandwich with ham. Oh my goodness--everything came out piping hot and full of flavor! You can tell the food was made fresh and with care. Great service, great food, and a great first impression. Thank you, Courtney, for making our visit such a positive experience! read more

It's so nice to have a Nation's open up in Elk Grove. This opened in 2025 and is located right at the off-ramp of HWY-99 at Sheldon Rd. This shares the same tiny parking lot of Starbucks, so parking is kinda tight. Their indoor dining is pretty small, as I counted that it can only seat about 22 people; as there are also limited (3) outdoor dining tables too. I do like to do to-go orders on the app, which is convenient because it seems like whenever I arrive in-person, they are always understaff and the wait can take a while. Sometimes even when I order online, I'll still need to wait beyond the arrival time. If I could give a more accurate rating, it would be slightly below a 3-star review, as it has happened way too frequently that they are understaff and they cannot meet their arrival pick up times. Just recently in June of 2026, I waited over 10-minutes from the expected pickup time from my online order. read more

Food:***** Service:***** Ambiance: ***** FIRST TIME to this location. Just opened maybe 4-5 months ago. Drove by several times n parking lot was full. Finally came after lunch rush. Tables were available. I wanted to dine in. Place is clean. Restrooms are also clean. Condiment area is clean but scarce in hot sauce. I don't take the bottle I just pour enough for me to use. Service was great. Brianne was so helpful with the discounts n joining the club for rewards. The crew is on top of taking orders and cooking asap. The food was legit! Memories of the Bay Area (Fremont) younger days came back. Moved to EG and so happy Nations is so close to me now. My favorite burger place. I love the simplicity of the original burger. Bun is lightly grilled/toasted so still soft to bite into, nice fresh onions,lettuce and slice tomatoes. So hot and fresh off the grill. It is my perfect burger. Forgot photo of my burger becuz I inhaled it. My hubby had a 3 egg breakfast and love it. Hasbrowns were the best, not over fried. I can eat a burger from this location every day. We will be coming back again. My husband loves this place like I do. read more

This location is in the new plaza next to Starbucks and across the freeway from Winco. Space is smaller than other Nations I been too - maybe about 20 chairs but they do have outdoor seating which Im sure will be used come spring/summer days. Great experience from today's experience. Young gentleman, Juan was super pleasant and welcoming. He made recommendations and was just overall nice. Had the melt which was YUMMY!!! Will definitely be coming back. read more

I was driving through Elk Grove and had a hankering for a delicious breakfast. Good thing Nations is just off the 99. After going over the breakfast menu, I decided on the two egger breakfast, which includes two eggs, two well buttered pieces of toast, hash browns, and your choice of meat ( I went with a hamburger patty). I will fight someone if they tell me there is a better fast food breakfast than the one you can get at nations. Everything is made to order, the quality is great, the portions are huge, and your order is ready stat! All of this for less than a combo meal at almost any fast food restaurant. Also if the massive portions and delicious food wasnt enough, they have some of the best pies that money can buy! Next time you are driving through Elk Grove, do yourself a favor and stop by Nations! read more

I got to try nations via door dash. First off, the burger and sliders were yummy. I was glad that I could customize it with the various toppings they offer. I thought the patty was juicy, even for getting it thru door dash. The French fries were just average, nothing to set it apart from other places. Now the chocolate crème pie was delicious. I love that they have different pies and sizes to choose from. It makes it fun to try a new one every time. read more

Service : 4/5 good, however no one shared the seasonal options like pumpkin cheesecake, pumpkin shake etc. The menu rotates so I didn't find out about it until I placed my order and had to do a second order. Ambiance: 4/5 Quaint but clean, happy the location is nearby. Food: 4/5 The sweet potato pie crust had an oniony taste but other than that my cheeseburger was delicious! read more

I've had Nations before in the Bay as well as Vacaville, but ever since the Natomas and now Elk Grove location opened not so much. This location is right next to the drive-thru Starbucks sharing the parking lot with the Shell Gas Station and Take 5 Oil change place off of Sheldon Rd x Hwy 99. Party of 2 dine-in (walk-in) and I also placed a large to-go order (3 cheeseburgers with grilled onions, 2 burgers with no onions, and 3 orders of fries). Not sure if they rang it up as 3 of the burger-and-fry combos or as just a la carte. The bacon cheeseburger and the BBQ/onion ring burger looked good too, and I saw they also have sliders. The "giant" burgers each came in their own box, and the fries were all separated in their own bag. Overall they were good, but for the price of $7-$9 per burger and then the fries, I'm not sure I'll be back soon. Was good to give them another try. Might come back for strawberry pies in the summer. read more

Haven't been to Nations Giant for a very long time maybe a four or five years. Just got one in Elk Grove about 5 months ago, so wanted to check them out as I was craving a burger. Wondering if they are still good as they used to be. I ordered the cheese burger with everything. It actually taste just like a n in and out burger. It was good as u ate it all. My fries were cold as they didn't last hot very long once in got my food home food to go. My bf got a chilli hot dog he said bit was fabulous. See the picture. We also ordered a half a blueberry cheesecake pie. It was good, not too sweet. I always know Nations for their pie. I like that you can buy pie by the slice, the half pie or whole. Overall good experience. Quick order in and out. read more

Ordered online for pickup and my order wasn't ready yet. Sat down and waited and they had some pie samples to try as well that day. I tried the pecan one and it was tasty. The burgers were really good. I got a lettuce wrapped one and it held up well. They give a lot of pickles and they were cut lengthwise so it was a pickle lovers dream. Overall pretty good for burgers but definitely on the pricier side. read more

Nation's first franchise..I am SO excited! As a native of the Bay Area, I am so thrilled that there is now a third Nation's location in the region. My mom just had to have some lemon creme pie so off to Nation's we went. I was surprised albeit pleasantly, at the new menu variety. I didn't want a burger (well I did lol but they are huge), and was ecstatic to see sliders on the menu. What?!? They were the perfect size and I wasn't overly full. The pies are still made in Oakland and sent to the restaurants. Banana Cream tastes the same as it did decades ago. I will be back soon, thanks Nation's! read more

The service here was great. It was clean, there was an upbeat playlist, and everything was fully stocked. The food just wasn't super flavorful. Our fries were hot and fresh and not a bunch of tiny pieces, but it didn't seem like the burgers were seasoned at all. I really wanted it to taste better based on all the other factors. We did get a slice of pie that was delicious so I have high hopes for the breakfast menu. We'd definitely give it a second chance, just weren't really impressed by the burgers. read more

First time experiencing Nations and I was not disappointed! Service was super friendly and helpful as a first timer. I had the sliders and they were perfect since I didn't want a giant burger. I had the onion rings and was super happy with my choice! The batter was crisped just right, fries were excellent as well. As much as I wanted to try a pie, I will save it for next time! I did love the option of being able to buy a pie and get 1/4s of 4 different kinds of pie. Pretty ingenious if you ask me.?Would like to also try their breakfast items. The seating is a little small inside but seemed just fine when I was there. Can't wait to return and try some other items! read more

The location is conveniently located off of Highway 99 and Sheldon in a small strip mall. This review is only for the pies as I was told they had lots of options and we were looking for a dessert place in Elk Grove. There was quite a selection and you can choose a whole pie or a slice. Slices are $6.95 for a large piece...enough to split between two people as it looks like one slice is a quarter of the whole pie. I tried the custard and chocolate cream pie and both were good. Next time I will be back to try the banana cream pie and have some of the regular items on the menu. read more

Just had pie! It was good! Service was good too! It was busy but found a table for 6 to enjoy our pie!

We've been to Nation's a few times now at different locations. The Bay Area, Stockton, and most recently their newer Elk Grove spot. It's very much reminiscent of a classic diner vibe, which is always comforting. Service has been quick and attentive every time we've visited, and the food consistently comes out hot and fresh. My kids especially love their breakfast options, which makes it an easy family friendly choice. We've also tried their burgers, chili cheese fries, shakes, and pies. All solid and satisfying. Nothing over the top amazing, but it's dependable diner food and a nice additional food option to have in the area when you want something casual with variety. Overall, a good go to when you're craving classic diner style comfort food. read more

Nation's Giant - Cheeseburger $9 - Burgers Near Me - Elk Grove, California

This is the first Nation's location in the Elk Grove area. Opened in early September 2025. Heard so much about this place. Family had to check them out. This review is based on two visits. Located in it a newly built restaurant and parking lot near the SE corner of Highway 99 and Sheldon Rd and behind the Shell gas station. Located next to Starbucks. Restaurant has small indoor dining area and a few tables right outside of their front door. Staff are nice and helpful. On our first visit, we ordered 2 burgers and an order of sliders for dinner. The sliders are disappointing. The slider hamburger patties were super small and thin. The patties didn't even cover the slider bread. The other burgers had meat patties that were also very thin and over-cooked. Hamburgers were super dry and tasteless. We felt the prices for these burgers were overpriced. Also, tried a slice of pie for dessert. Heard how good their pies were and had to try it. Ordered a slice of their banana cream pie. Pie was disappointing too. We felt the filling was mainly vanilla pudding. Pie filling was thinly filled. The pie crust was much higher than the level of the filling. Pie crust tasted like the frozen pie crust sold in the freezer section in markets. The price charged for a slice of pie here is not worth what one receives. Quality and taste of pie here is a 2/5 star. Then we can on a Sunday morning to try their breakfast offerings. A breakfast platter is quite pricey! Portions are plenty. The quality and taste is the problem. The pancakes are dry, stiff, dense and are not very flavorful. Nothing wrong with the bacon or sausages. Breakfast potatoes are standard but needs some flavor. Hence, add salt and pepper before consuming. Nation's do have an app and does offer occasional deals. read more

I really like Nation's Giant chains as they have good quality food that's normally prepared very well. I was visiting the store with my son at 8848 E Stockton Blvd, Elk Grove, CA 95624. It had recently opened and I found it to be very clean with nice decor. It was in excellent shape as it was fairly new. The young lady behind the counter was extremely polite and helpful. She knew the menu very well and had a great attitude. I tried their Giant Burger, which was cooked to perfection. The lettuce and tomato was fresh and the burger was made the way I wanted. The bread was not a brioche bun, but a traditional fresh hamburger one. I am not a big fan of hamburgers but this one was fantastic! My son and I shared eggs, sausage, pancakes and french toast. Everything was great. The soda machine had great tasting beverages (good mixing of soda and syrup). I finished the meal with a slice of apple pie-big slices of apple with a wonderful taste. Nations is known for their pies and the selection is not disappointing. The pricing is a bit higher than in the past but the rewards app can save you money. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Nation's in Elk Grove. read more

There was a line when I entered this little restaurant. The cashier would ask to serve the next person in line. I love how the cook answered my question about what ingredients were in the harvester burger. My cashier entered the wrong amount tendered when she took my order. I'm glad she used the other register to give me back my exact change. There was no available seat inside so I sat outside. The table had a spill on it so I just sat on the side which was cleaner. The chili cheese fries I had were good. I wish my cheese was a little more melted. I'd go back to try other food items. read more

Nation's Giant - CHILI FRIES with cheddar cheese - Burgers Near Me - Elk Grove, California

The pies are delicious here. The chocolate cream pie was a winner for me. The chili fries were delicious. They use a chili that tastes similar to Stag chili so I was really happy since Stag is my favorite store bought. The cheese burger I got was well cooked, well seasoned and made good. It wasn't sloppy or falling apart. I liked it a lot, but for me, the chipotle sliders were my favorite. It was savory and juicy. However, they were small and a bit pricey for the two of them. I could've ate 6-8 sliders but had to hold back lol. Overall, it was a good fast food experience at Nations. The burgers are definitely bigger and better than some other fast food places. read more

Been to Nations in SF but this is a new location in Sac/Elk Grove. And I haven't been to one in awhile. Unfortunately I wasnt all that impressed. Its a small location next to a Starbucks. Felt like a little diner. There's only counter service. So you put in your order and come back and pickup your food when ready. I had a BLT and it was pretty basic nothing special. I ordered a small sweet potato pie to go. It was okay until I got to the crust. It tasted like it wasnt baked all the way. Was a bit mushy so I couldn't finish it. Dont think I'll be returning anytime soon. read more

Very clean and open early! Restroom available. Gave me time to think before ordering, and food came out warm and prepared nicely. The pecan pie wasn't warmed though, i think they just slice it. The burger was a little dry, but vegetables were fresh. read more

Nation's Giant - CHEESEBURGER PECAN PIE (SLICE) - Burgers Near Me - Elk Grove, California

This review is just for the pie/desserts. It was a busy day that day. I was gonna grab some burgers but the line was so long and the place had limited seating. So I decided to take some to go instead. I got a slice of blueberry cheesecake and banana cream pie and they were really good. Pricing is a little steep for a slice, in the long run it's better to get the whole pie. I will try their burger and breakfast items next time. read more

It's alright food at a good portion size, but for the price, not worth it. The patty was kind of chewy and the fries kind of chalky, like they were frozen for a long time. The burger only had a streak of mustard and a big glop of mayonnaise, but at least the veggies were fresh. The fries had little to no salt. I also got a slice of the blueberry topping cheesecake and for me, it was way too sweet and the cheesecake itself was mushy. I like my cheesecake to be a little denser and tangier than this, with a good bite, but this was like eating 3 layers of frosting. read more

To give this place anything less than 4 stars is absurd. These burgers are legit. Menu is simple, burgers are priced right, and they taste amazing. EG will support a place like this and it will become well known, and not just to us Bay Area transplants. read more

Ain't what I remember Nation's used to be. The location is a small suite. Prices are high, food is average. I also ordered two pies for Thanksgiving at $36 (pecan and coconut). Both were light in portion and flavor. Disappointed in the dessert product. Perhaps a sign of the current times where an average dining out experience is so costly. read more

Nation's is a great breakfast, burger and pie restaurant. There is a nice dine in area which chairs and tables. All servers are nice and can help u with your order.

Look, I have been going to nation's hamburger for years and this is the first time ever that I was served lukewarm food and the coffee was not hot! And on top of all that the service was slow!

I really wanted to love this place but was disappointed. Restaurant was clean and wait time was reasonable. Pros: Fresh ingredients, more selection than typical burger places (I had the fresh salmon sandwich), slice of berry pie was good sized with great crust and taste. Cons: Cheeseburger costs $2 more than a hamburger ($2 for a slice of cheese?!), both my sandwich and my wife's burger lacked flavor, onion rings were underwhelming. Expensive overall. Will probably try again for breakfast and have more pie! read more
