I've been hitting up this place again. I'm still set on pastrami burgers. This is currently my favorite burger. It's not the greatest in the world or anything, but for what you get (pastrami w/egg) @ $8.35 out the window, it's pretty outstandingly GREAT. You're not likely to get E. coli here because the burgers are well done, not moist, pink or fatty. In fact not really tough, but a well done-chewy kinda texture. I don't mind, they're not charging $10-18 either. I'm not saying the burger patty is bad or great, it's middle of the road goodness. I love this burger. Without the egg the veggies would cool this burgie down fast, w/the fried egg in there I can drive 8 minutes and the whole burger is still hot to some degree. Plus it's just better, more complete and filling and sooo tasty. That's another thing, they VERY consistently flavor well with condiments and salt, never too much or too little. At other joints there's always who knows you is making it today; too much variation & too many mistakes. Lastly, their buns are unique, not brioche, but something different. Always soft enough, but with a strong bite to it as well. I dig the buns. Maybe they make them. IDK read more

Scott's Burger Shack - Pastrami Burger W/fried egg. There is a beef patty in there too. - Burgers Near Me - Sacramento, California

OK, this is an OG burger of the highest order! Their standard burger is the fat boy which is a cheeseburger with bacon, lettuce, tomato, onion, mustard, and ketchup. I substitute mustard cause I don't like it and get thousand island and I always ask for the raw onions. This burger is old school spectacular. They have a lot of other things on the menu, but I just can't see to get through the menu with the exception of the western burger when I don't feel like eating a whole half pounder prices are good. It's a Mom paw operation. They're only worked in Monday through Friday 11 to 4pm then they closed for the weekend. It's Franklin Boulevard across from El Navito. It's not the best neighborhood but it's not too bad during the daylight hours when they are open. There are some picnic tables outside to sit down. There is no inside for customers. I usually get my burgers to go and can barely wait to get home to eat them because they're so darn good. read more

So, this little place has the best jalapeno burger and fulfilled my cheeseburger craving. A must try. Food is made to order, they only take cash so go prepared. Tey do get busy as well and only take in person orders. We will be going back here for sure! read more

I've been eager to try Scott's Burgers for a while, but every time I passed by, they were closed. Their hours of operation aren't the most convenient--they close by 4 PM (though Google lists 5 PM), which is before most people get off work, and they're also closed on weekends. This made it difficult to find a time to visit. The place itself is small and strictly for ordering, with an old-school, slightly worn look that some might see as outdated, but I found it charming and unique. I ordered the sourdough burger, while my friend got the jalapeño burger. We also tried the jalapeño poppers, onion rings, and fries. The burgers were fantastic--juicy, flavorful, and satisfying. The jalapeño poppers and onion rings were also great. However, the fries were underwhelming--not crispy enough and lacking seasoning. Overall, I'm giving them four stars because of their limited hours and mediocre fries, but otherwise, it's a fantastic burger spot that I highly recommend. read more

Scott's Burger Shack - Sourdough Burger - Burgers Near Me - Sacramento, California

The food is made fresh, so I enjoy that. The service is completely based off her mood (the order taker). Sometimes she's nice sometimes she's not. Same with the prices. I order the same thing every time I go but the total seems to also be based off her mood. Sometimes $12 sometimes $13. They don't offer receipts. Cash only. read more

I was recommended this place, CASH ONLY BTW! Nice staff, really good onion rings, didn't really like the burger, but i'm not mad about the price. read more

THIS PLACE IS FOR SURE TOP 3 IN SACRAMENTO WHEN IT COMES TO BURGERS, I treated my boi here for luck cuz he's never been and always wanted to go, and since I'm yelp elite I noticed I've never wrote a review for them so here it is: SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOOOOOOOOOOOOD! The burgers are so juicy, the juices be dripping, I got the triple fatty combo man it's so worth it, this burger is better then any burger at any fast food establishment in Sacramento, they have so many options, good prices and good custom options, you can get a western and add pastrami, you can get a fatty and add mushrooms, any choice you make will be worth it, this place needs Sacramento's beat food award for sure, wish they had a food truck that could come to the north where I live, but I've been coming here for 10 years and no matter where I live I'll always travel for good food. Food: 10/10 Tip : 0 Will I return : of course Customer service: they are real friendly read more

Scott's Burger Shack - Triple Fatboy Combo - Burgers Near Me - Sacramento, California

The food is always the best ~ freshly prepared and delicious. The service is friendly and professional. You can't beat the ambiance! Clean tables and fresh air. Scott's Burger Shack is the best in town! read more

If you blink while driving down Franklin you might miss it, as the shack is not very big. Yet nevertheless Scott can make a good burger. The Fatboy has a large, 1/2 lb patty, with bacon, cheese, a hefty bun, and otherwise standard burger toppings. The meat was seasoned well and everything seemed to go together. I got a side of onion rings and chicken nuggets for my son. Neither of which were noteworthy but neither were bad. There's no ambiance but there large picnic tables are in the shade at least. I took a star away because I tried to call several times to order but they did not answer the phone. I saw other reviews have mentioned this as well. Also, be careful when pulling into the parking lot. While eating I saw someone take the turn too sharply and blow out a tire on a metal grate on the curb. Apparently this happens a few times per week so be careful! read more

Lady in shack hates her job. Mom likes the Burgers but have had unbelievable grouchy and rude service the 3 times we went. Too bad.

Delicious large burgers served by a nice lady who took my order using an ink pen. There is big construction on Franklin so i was very glad to see they were open and so will you. I think the burgers were a third of a pound so i was impressed read more

Scott's has been at this location for a very long time. Easy to miss while driving by, but please make sure to stop by here for a great burger. One of the best burgers I've had, great fries also. Hours are limited mostly for lunch crowds. Unfortunately the downside is there is personally no outdoor seating. If you want a down-to-earth burger stop by. read more

Some day I'll make it back when it's open. Regardless, enjoying watching this gentleman give the sign a nice refresh. read more

Scott's Burger Shack - Fresh coat of paint. - Burgers Near Me - Sacramento, California

Tucked away in a very small white shack on Franklin Blvd, Scott's Burger Shack serves delicious burgers at very reasonable prices. The setting is a small building with only a few picnic benches surrounding the building, You order thru the small window as they peek their heads out to take your order by writing it on a per bag with pen. No fancy electronics, and no credit cards here. Cash only! The Fatboy combo has a full 1/2 lb burger with fries and a huge drink for $9.20 and it's a great deal. If you somehow have room for more, there is a 1lb and 1 1/2 lb Fatboy Combo as well. We also had the Western Bacon which had a Obion Ring, Bacon, Cheese and BBQ sauce. Super yummy, fresh handmade burger. Call ahead with your order as this place is small and gets busy. Usually about a 20 min wait from the time you pace your order. read more

Arrived at 11:30am shortly after opening. We ordered 2 Pastrami Rueben's and one pastrami burger with fries, tater tots, and onion rings. (Originally ordered chili cheese fries but they were out of chili). When we arrived they had just called number 41, and we were 43 so I thought it wouldn't take too long. It took 40 minutes before we finally got our food, and they had forgotten to give us our fries. Luckily I checked the bags before leaving otherwise we would've gotten ripped off. The pastrami ruebens were great but I wouldn't recommend the burger. I'd possibly be back but would come at opening read more

Great burger fries and other items. Great price!! Schedule is always crazy... never know when they will be open or not. And rarely do they answer your phone. So every time i go it's a chance that it will be open... I'm currently sitting outside right now at 11:04am Online is says they open at 11am. But i pull up and as I'm waiting someone slips out a sign that read 11:30.. that's one example of many.. so the biggest problem and why i don't come more often is how inconsistent they are. And then multiple times showing up to them not open at all read more

So. . .I've passed by this place a thousand times and was always curious about it but I've never stopped here to eat. While my husband and I were out shopping, he suggested we stop here to try them out. I'm so glad we did. I ordered the bacon cheeseburger and onion rings. My husband ordered the sourdough burger w/egg. We usually try each other's food before we start digging into our own. He enjoyed his burger but I thought it lacked seasoning. Mine, on the other hand, was pretty awesome! The patty could have been plain and I would never know it because the combination of the bacon, grilled onions, pickles, etc. . .set it off . . .and I don't know what type of bun they used but it was nice and soft with the perfect amount of firmness so it didn't fall apart while I was eating it. The onion rings were pretty amazing too. The batter they used made the onion ring coating smooth, which I never had before. .but the batter was fried a perfect golden brown. They had the perfect amount of crunch and a certain sweetness to them. It was a little different at first but I quickly fell in love with them. The only "cons" to this place: -The wait. It took 20-25 min for us to get our food. -There's only outdoor seating. -Cash only. Other than that, I totally recommend this place. read more

Honestly a staple place in all of Sacramento. A long while ago I was going to here and Awful Wally's trying to decide which place had the better pastrami burger. Now with Awful Wally's gone, the decision is really not that hard anymore. Everywhere else that I have gone to try and compare pastrami burgers don't match up to here. The burger has never been dry or salty since I've been coming here, and the line is usually long. Try to get here early to beat that line, if not you're waiting 20-30 minutes easy for your food. read more

Foods ok pretty much only go here to satisfy an old childhood craving. (How can anyone mess up a burger and fries?) The one star is solely because they are never open. I mean closed sat and sunday??? Closes early on a friday? (2pm)??? I mean i understand customers can get annoying but hire some one or something smh. Goodluck finding these guys open they are only open for 20 hours a week read more

I have driven by this place for years. I had cash this time so I decided to stop. Great idea for sure. I got the western bacon burger. So tasty. The fries were crisp but soft inside. The bacon was crispy. The burger patty was fresh and juicy. Crispy onion rings. I only critique would be the bun was a little chewy. Like it was under baked. I don't want to assume but the bun gave the impression it was made from scratch. I maybe wrong though. I live in the north area and would definitely consider driving to Franklin Blvd to order something else from Scott's. It's a win for me. read more

So good! Probably one of the better places for a Philly Cheese Steak that won't break your bank. It's huge and super tasty for only $6! We ordered the Philly Cheese, a Double Cheeseburger, tater tots, and their Chilly Cheese Fries. All were fresh and so satisfying. The chili cheese fries were a favorite amongst everyone. Not salty or soggy. We've been here many times (Land Park locals) and we have yet to encounter a bad experience. Tip: make sure you call in/order ahead for pickup. Our food was ready in 15 minutes and the cashier was extremely polite! read more

A bit confused as to why this place has good reviews. No flavor, mediocre burger that took almost 20 minutes! The meat is over cooked and under salted. I took two bites and gave the rest To my dog. What a waste of time and money. Burger King/ McDonald's are better by a long shot and that's saying something. Also, this place doesn't feel clean. We checked this one off our sac list and won't be back! read more

Cash only, and quite busy. Very much worth the wait. Delicious fresh food every time.

My burger the cheeseburger was fair. The bun was just a little too big for the patty and could have used a thicker or extra slice of cheese as it got lost. The great thing was the lettuce and tomato! Crisp and fresh. Had I gotten 2 patties the bun would have been just right. Burger needed a lil more seasoning but over all it was a good burger. My son got the western burger and said it was good. He had no complaints at all. The crinkle fries were the smaller ones but still good. A solid 3.5 stars will have to try again. read more

Everyone was raving about this spot so my wife and I decided to try it, and I was shocked!!! Sacramento, you need to raise your standards! I'd take Carl juniors over this spot any day of the week! What is all the hype about? Come on Sac town, really? Go to Pangaea and you'll forget about this spot as quickly as we did! read more

Fast food and traditional American spot that has been around for several decades. If you're on a budget and looking to satisfy your burger cravings, then you'd come here. You get that simple taste of a classic, greasy burger. Very slow service, but then again, everything is cooked to order. Hot and fresh. The worker was kind of rude with some attitude. But I guess the food will compensate for it. You hear this place has a history of success for several, consecutive years, so you know you have to check it out. I tried their super fat boy burger because I'm a fat boy. Definitely a good portion sized burger and the meat was very juicy. There's a huge menu and sandwiches that are also served here. I'd love to come back. Hopefully the workers become a little more friendly though. Make sure you have cash as well because they do not accept cards. read more

Scott's Burger Shack - Super Fatboy Burger with fries - Burgers Near Me - Sacramento, California

Service is good, accurate, and timely. They have a few benches to sit outside but this is one of the greatest take out windows you can ever order from. I grew up in midtown Sac and this place most definitely a must try. Been coming here for over 25 years and they have not lost their touch or slowed down at all. Best burgers in town!!! Food is fresh, quantity is awesome, and quality is impeccable. If you like burgers and are in the area you need to get you some Scott's Burger Shack!!! I'd recommend call ahead of time to put your order in cause they get very busy. They take only cash and parking is limited. Prices are affordable and you get a lot for your buck. read more

They may be small, but offer giant service and food options at a reasonable price. Love going there! Owners are kind, never feel rushed to order, read more

Food is amazing. These burgers are always juicy, huge, and delicious. The service is pretty good, they are usually pretty nice. There isn't any inside seating and just a couple outside tables, so I recommend getting food to go. The biggest downside to this place is the wait time. There is always a super long wait (even if you call ahead), but it is worth it for the yummy food. read more

It had been a while since visiting, but it was worth the wait. We always get the BLT, FB Combo, and Pastrami Burger Combo. As usual, we were not disappointed. Plenty of bacon on the BLT and the extra lettuce was a nice touch. Pastrami Burger had an ample amount of Pastrami. The double FB put my husband on the couch. As always, a great meal. Thanks Scott and Ann. read more

Burgers the way they should be made from a fat boy to a pastrami burger to jalapeno poppers to some of the best onion rings around town. It's going to be hard to beat the quality and the quantity given from Scott's. Always remember cash only though read more

Now I know why the lines & wait time are long here!!! So freakin' good! Honey & I were craving a burger/hot link so of course, I went on Yelp & found this place. Don't let the janky little hole in the wall shack looking spot fool you, this place makes bomb ass burgers! We decided to both get the super fatboy burger which comes with 2 meat patties, lettuce, pickles, tomato, ketchup, mustard, onions & cheese. & holy moly!!! The burgers were HUGE! & they weighed a lot! It's crazy because a burger that big, you would think it would be super greasy... Nope! Not this one! This one was so good that even after eating half of the burger, I could still taste the toasted part on the buns! The hot link was also very tasty, comes with a hot link cut in half on a hoagie looking bread, onions, ketchup & mustard. It was spicy but not too spicy (& I'm pregnant!) Overall this is definitely our new burger spot! read more

This place will always hold a dear spot in my heart. It's been a Sacramento staple since I was a kid. I love their burgers 9/10. The fried mushrooms with ranch 10/10. My favorite thing here is not a burger, but their hot link sandwich w/onions and peppers. Service is 8/10. Sometime their mean sometimes their not, but in the end it's just real tough love. Love the location and the ambiance gives you the old school hole in the wall drive in. Parking is 5/10. Lol it's a hit or miss. I usually drive by and if I see no one there I'll pull up read more

I love burgers. Eaten burgers all over but surprisingly had never heard of this place. What???? Me and my significantly better half rolled up hangry and was shocked when we saw it was cash only. It's 2021. I don't do cash. We scraped together what cash we could find in the truck and ordered a Patty Melt combo, Fatboy combo and Mac n cheese bites. First off, the Mac n cheese bites were hot n tasty. The 1/2 lb Fatboy burger was hittin'. As you can see in the photo it's big. I have big catchers mitt hands so it's a big burger. Lettuce, onion, tomato and bacon sit atop this bad boy. You have to unhinge your jaw like a snake to bite this but if you can do it you'll be rewarded with a thick, meaty, juicy (it dripped all over me) burger on a sturdy, thick bun that stands up to the meat and toppings. That's essential. If you're gonna serve a big AZZ burger the bun can't be falling apart. This held. It was enjoyable, hit all the spots. This burger is a top 10 burger in Sac. The French fries are crinkle cut (personal fave) and cooked to a light golden color. Well salted. The fries rock and support the burger. As for the Patty Melt... The meat, cheese and grilled onions were all what a party melt should be. But the bread sadly disintegrated. That's a Patty Melt fail. The cheese is supposed to melt boy the bread. So I have to give this place for stars. *We were hungrier than a mofo. So that always affects a rating. read more
