Single 1/2 Lb burger and onion rings
Julieanne H.

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.

Sourdough Burger
Jasmine C.

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 The place itself is small and strictly for ordering, with an old-school, slightly worn look that some might see as outdated, but I found it charming and unique.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.

Triple Fatboy Combo
Jacoby P.

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

Fatboy Burger
RJ A.

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!

Been going to this place for almost 10 years and this place has always been awesome, has never disappointed me! Hands down the best burger in Sacramento! Super Fat Boy combo is definitely the go to. The Triple Fat Boys is for the real hungry and brave. Hours are for lunchtime so absolutely get it when you can and Make sure you bring cash too!

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.

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.

The thick steak fries, especially their cheesy variant, are sheer perfection. Crispy on the outside, soft and fluffy within, and drenched in a cascade of molten cheese that teases the palate with its rich, savory goodness. I ask for extra pickles on them bc I'm weird and it taste ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. Larry be hooking it UP!!! But it doesn't stop there. Stoner Burger has the best hand selected buns. The meat? A harmonious blend of succulence and flavor. Each patty is seasoned to perfection, juicy and cooked just right, making every bite a mouthful of meaty ecstasy. Always fresh and never frozen you can trust the amount of flavor you get in each bite. And if all of this isn't reason enough to make it your go-to burger joint, then 'Stoney Sundays' surely is.

I opted for a chicken sandwich with as side of buffalo fries and my sister opted for a burger with a side of fries. They had a DJ and sports games on the TV so it was a little loud inside, but nothing too bad. The food came out relatively quickly and we were excited to dig in! The sandwich was very flavorful and definitely my favorite part of the meal. The chicken was juicy and the veggies tasted fresh. The buffalo fries were also good. However, the buffalo sauce was a little too overpowering and next time I will ask for it on the side. I ended up requesting an extra side of ranch to help with the taste. My sister enjoyed her burger. Overall, we had a pretty good experience and would come back.

I was amazed with the size of the regular loaded nachos, it was huge! Both burgers were of decent size as well. The patties were seasoned well and super juicy.
