Absolutely worth the wait! We ordered burgers and fries, and everything was incredibly delicious. There was a huge line going out the door and onto the street, so the wait time was quite long. However, it was 100% worth it! The prices are completely justified because these are high-quality, gourmet burgers, not just basic fast food. We will definitely be back! read more

Driven by here several times and finally stopped in. This place did not disappoint! Chicken strips and fries were great and the burgers are amazing! Topped it off with an Oreo shake - so good! Customer service was outstanding and I can't wait to come back. read more

Skip's Kitchen is pretty damn good if you looking for a bombdigity burger The vibe here is incredible, great music playing, an awesome outdoor seating setup, and just a really cool energy overall. What really sets them apart is their customer service. The cashier was a super awesome, genuine guy who clearly loves his job and treats everyone like a regular. They also have this awesome game where if you pick out of 52 deck of cards to try and get the Joker card, your meal is free! I was soooooo damn close and pulled the King of Hearts lol. Amazing food, great people, and a fun experience. I'll definitely be back to try for that Joker again! read more

Update: food was fantastic! I had the mushroom burger! And my husband had the bacon cheddar burger. Each bite was satisfying and the meat was moist and just yummy! From the moment we walked in, the young man (Cooper) behind the counter was so engaging. Prices are good...soda IS NOT $5/cup! so happy about that!! Waiting now for meal and think we found a great neighborhood spot! read more

Skip's Kitchen - Cheddar bacon burger and sweet potato fries! - Burgers Near Me - Carmichael, California

Always good! Ordered my usual bacon cheddar burger and onion rings with a chocolate shake. It was ready on time when I arrived. Had a great visit with Caleb as the dinner rush was subsided at 7:40pm. Ambiance was relaxed. Once home, the burger was perfectly cooked, tough to pause when the food is so good. In other words, I barely took time to chew. The onion rings crisp and flavorful. The chocolate shake not overly sweet, and a wonderful semisweet chocolate deliciousness. read more

This is a nice, cozy burger joint in Carmichael. This is 5 stars because it's a great meal, it matches the vibe, and you get a personable experience at a decent price point. Interestingly, this recommendation came to me from someone in Chicago regarding places that I should try in Sacramento. I happened to be reviewing burger places that month, so I thought I would give this place to a try There is great seating inside. They appear to have a very nice front patio overlooking El Camino Ave. This is basic counter service with standard coca cola drink options. The food is brought out to you, which I always appreciate. Another nice. touch - the owner, can be seen walking around the restaurant rubbing elbows and kissing babies. He seems to be on a first name basis with quite a few patrons. The burger was great! Great thickness, a little pink (so, it was cooked appropriately), and a good ratio of condiments. Just a solid burger in a great, casual restaurant. I'm a sucker for waffle fries. I feel like fries can bring down a burger joint a star in my book. read more

Great friendly service. Yes, they have let you pick a card and if you get a joker, your meal is on the house. No, I did not pick the joker. They're know for double grounded meat, and you can taste the difference in the texture. Burger was delicious and hot. They are also served with criss cut fries. It is bit far from where I live, but I'll definitely be back whenever I'm in Carmichael. read more

Order: Western cheeseburger Hush puppies Food was delicious here and even better was the service. Cool idea using the playing cards as your order number. Fries that came with the burger were great. Everything is so well prepared. Wouldn't order the hush puppies again but would definitely come back. read more

The service was very friendly! From the moment we walked in they were very attentive. We were taking about getting the beef Wellington sliders but hadn't ordered yet and they were already calling it out to the kitchen to get it started, then confirmed when we ordered, that we were getting it. Apparently it takes longer to make (probably took like 15-20 minutes to get when all was said and done). We also ordered the skips burger with waffle fries. They also saw that we didn't order anything else and easier us if we wanted to half our burger cut in half, which was super attentive of them. We sat ourselves down and our burgers came out quite quickly. The bun was soft and had a nice sheen/glazy appearance. The burger itself is default medium cooked. It was a little bloody, but the flavor was good. Overall the burger was done really well, had a nice flavor balance and came out so fresh. It almost reminded me of in-n-out in some ways but so much better. The waffle fries were very crispy and was well salted. The salt was kinda chunky! I wished I had more fries through The beef wellington came out hot and fresh. The outside is a puff pastry and theres pieces of tender beef inside. This was also very well seasoned. I didn't try the sauce but I heard it was like a vinaigrette. Restaurant was small, and busy, but there was still adequate seating. There's two bathrooms inside, they were clean. Parking is kind of limited in the lot, but there's also street parking. Overall, I would highly recommend Skip's Kitchen! read more

OMG! How have I missed this place!! I have lived in the area a couple of years and have driven by but never stopped. Today, on the way home from an errand, I pulled in to have lunch. I had an amazing cheeseburger (actually cooked TO ORDER) and my lunch date had a hamburger, no buns, no condiments. Both were - by far - the best I have had in forever..., I mean forever... I will be returning often and, once I get through every single item on this menu, I will update my review. For now, get in here ASAP for yummy yummy yummy food! read more

Excellent food all around. Burgers are outstanding. Chocolate shake with whipped cream is outstanding. Great vibe. Skip is a great guy. Seating can be a little iffy during busy times. All around great place for lunch in Carmichael. read more

The experience at Skip's Kitchen was fantastic! My date and I saw a video of their scrumptious burgers on TIKTOK and decided to stop by. The menu did not disappoint. Skip's son did an outstanding job answering any questions we had while taking our order. We've never had medium well burgers with a little pink before, so we were anxious to try them. The space feels extremely welcoming, with two TVs showing sports, and an authentic restaurant vibe that smells like home cooked food. There is an inside area and an outside area of the restaurant. The outside area is sweet for chilling during a nice summer night, or with a a big party. We ordered the western BBQ burger, garlic parmesan fries, and Mac puppies. The burger is tasty, yet soft and cooked perfectly. The fries are crisp, and we both wished we had ordered more Mac puppies (5 breaded Mac and cheese bites). During and after the meal we shared great conversation with Skip himself, while he told us information about the restaurant's history. 10/10 food experience! read more

First time at this local restaurant. Service was friendly and efficient. A veggie burger was available, which was nice. Although I appreciate a home made veggie burger, I think a beyond or impossible patty would have matched the food better. The fries are great. The restaurant was busy on a Saturday night but we were able to get a booth. The space is small but friendly. There was parking on the premises when we arrived. read more

I saw a TikTok about another burger place in Sacramento area to be the best, but all the comments under it recommended Skip's! They were def right loved everything we ordered. Will be back to pull the joker! Watch. read more

Out running errands with my brother and he asked me to find a nice spot for lunch. Google Maps showed Skip's Kitchen was nearby so decided to give it a try. Immediate impression was positive. The owner (Skip) was running the front counter and greeting every customer that walked in. After looking over their menu we decided on the Bacon Cheeseburger and the Western burger. Both with crosscut fries. I noticed they had one of my favorite beers on tap so I ordered the Deschutes Black Butte Porter (served in an ice cold glass ) and my brother opted for a fountain soda. We picked our card from the deck (Joker gets a free meal) and sat at our table. Food arrived pretty quickly. Burgers were cooked to perfection and the fries were hot and tasty. Overall this was an excellent stop and we look forward to returning. Kudus to Skip and his team for creating a welcoming atmosphere and a place to get good food fast. read more

Finally stopped in for the highlyrecommended burgers at Skip's kitchen. There's a much larger dining area than I expected from driving by and the outdoor seating is ample as well. By the time 12:15pm on a Monday rolled around there was no seating, the place was absolutely packed with happy customers. The manager, possibly the owner (or possibly Skip himself?) was super animated and helpful and greeted every single person as he ran around, making sure everybody had what they needed took orders made suggestions filled up sodas and made our dining experience top-notch. He was back at the register to take our order and explained that the burgers are served quite pink unless you order them well done where you will not see any pink. This was very helpful because at another burger place I ordered mine medium, and it seemed like it was raw, so I made sure to ask to have it done medium well with ever so slight amount of pink which it was done perfectly. My dining friends said even if the burger didn't taste good that they'd be back just because of the happy manager's enthusiasm. We ordered the mushroom Swiss Burger, the Western Burger, and the Asian salad with Diet Cokes. The Swiss Burger was the best ever, the Western Hamburger was pretty darn good. Our sweet potato fries (ordered crip) were tasty but could've been better if really crisp. The plain Asian Salad was very good( optional beef or chicken could have been added). I can't wait to come back and try the steak sandwich and to experience watching the manager's happy demeanor and awesome service again. read more

Well, that was delicious! I heard that Skip's has one of Sac's best burgers and got to try it for myself today. Not a ton of parking, but I had no problem finding a spot. The restaurant was full and the word that comes to mind is...HOSPITALITY! Skip's son was working the register, helped me decide on what to order, gave me a cup to enjoy a drink while I waited for my to-go order & was constantly interacting with customers & coworkers. When I got to the car, I found fries in the box with my burger, so I'm guessing that was a bonus for being a first-time guest. Or, maybe fries come with the burger! Either way, I loved it. The bun was soft, the meat was juicy and the mushrooms, swiss & bacon onion jam were sooooo good! I REALLY appreciate the nice, thick, full-sized napkins too. Seriously. Thank you Skip for providing an appropriate napkin for a juicy hamburger! I can't wait to go back! read more

We just finished our first visit to Skip's Kitchen, and the experience was absolutely top-notch. From the moment we arrived, the service was warm, attentive, and welcoming--and the food was outstanding. We ordered the Pork Sliders, Western Burger, Onion Rings, Waffle Fries, and sodas. My wife mentioned that the two Pork Sliders were on the smaller side, while the Western Burger was so generously stacked it took some strategy to get that first bite! In the end, though, we were both completely full and very happy with our meal. It was also great to see the owner actively involved, making sure every guest was well taken care of despite how busy things were. That kind of hands-on attention really elevates the whole dining experience. We'll definitely be back--next time I'm looking forward to trying the Beef Wellington Sliders! read more

If you have been to Skip or are a frequent visitor you will forgive me for not capturing any photos from my recent visit here because of quickly I wolfed everything down. The vibes, the service, and the food quickly reminded me of Willie's and the food was just as outstanding. Their tangy and sweet bbq sauce was a real nice surprise for me. Everything seemed fresh and the burger was cooked to its exact medium temperature. I wasn't lucky enough to find the Joker, but I consider myself lucky for getting the opportunity to visit this Sacramento gem. There's a reason they are considered the best burger in Sacramento. Their fresh and flavorful patty and wonderfully tangy barbecue sauce definitely keep them competitive. I'm looking forward to my next visit! read more

If I could give Skips 10 stars I would. This is a place I've always wanted to check out. Finally was able to visit. I noticed the guy at the counter very friendly and upbeat with the customers ahead of me. As if they were friends. He had the same vibe with me and my daughters. Extremely impressed. His name is Caleb. The owners son. In fact, everyone that walked in got a warm, friendly greeting. It was as if we were guests in his own home making sure we were all happy and take care of. I ordered the pastrami sandwich. The menu is reasonably priced. A nice surprise since most restaurants are outrageous considering the portion sizes. My pastrami was absolutely delicious. Tender meat. Perfectly seasoned. Fries hot and crispy. I will be back again and recommend Skips to everyone. Thank you, Skips, for the yummy food and 10 star service! read more

Skip's Kitchen is always a great experience. You order first at the counter and before you pay you get to choose a card- if you get the Joker your meal is free. We've never picked the Joker, but it's always fun. They offer burgers, sandwiches, salads and other bites and the burgers are our favorite item to order. They also have a variety of fries available, but I always choose their default criss cut (waffle) fries. On our latest visit I chose the three cheese burger and my husband got the bacon cheddar. They're cooked to order and the default is medium, but they'll cook them to your preference. The burgers are a great size, flavorful and so juicy they make a mess. Definitely at least a two napkin burger, maybe more. The portion size is great too, you'll definitely be full or potentially have leftovers unless you have an extra big appetite- but then I'd recommend some of their appetizers like the beef wellington bites. The drinks are self serve, but the team here will bring your food to the table and clear it after. It gets really busy around dinner time. While we were there a bunch of people were picking up to-go orders and families started coming in. There is a small parking lot outside as well as street parking and it's definitely a popular neighborhood spot. The indoor and outdoor seating are both great options, bigger groups can fit outside a bit better but it's comfortable and has that warm, welcoming family restaurant vibe. read more

Hey Vegetarians! Just had their veggie burger and it's delicious. Hint of basil, unique. And I like the service!

Nice little place to have lunch and enjoy a good meal.. The service was excellent and the food was great. My husband got the hamburger and enjoyed it and my sister got the asian salad and she loved it. She just asked for more salad dressing and they said no problem and I got the turkey sandwich. It was fresh roasted turkey and warm. The only thing that was missing was the cranberry. I love cranberry so that is why I only gave this little establishment 4 stars... They serve the turkey sandwich with aioli. Other than that cute place for a meal. read more

"It takes two hands to handle a whopper," legend has it. But why bother when those two hands could be firmly around a Skip's Kitchen burger? Seriously, these burgers are hard to beat. Large juicy patty with great flavor, tomato, onions and special sauce on a soft flavorful bun - yum. I had the mushroom with melted Swiss. Beyond delicious! Add the sweet potato fries and an Asian salad on the side and you've got a great meal for under $30. Hard to beat friends - particularly when you consider how welcoming and friendly the staff are. Enjoy! read more

My friends and I have always had great service here! They have one of, if not the best burger in town! Seriously, the meat of juicy and flavourful and the burger is put together well! If you're planning on dessert, I would suggest splitting the burger. I like my burger medium rare and they have no qualms about getting it the way that I like. Ali on dessert, you will definitely want to split it with another person, it's soo good! My goal is to not be a creature of habit...one day, I will try the mini beef wellingtons and a salad! The beers are great here too. read more

Exceptional experience! It was slower than normal apparently being the day after Thanksgiving, so we got lucky. First off, the food was amazing! Beef is double ground so it gives it a consistent texture and you can taste the quality. Mini Wellingtons were delicious and something unique that you're not going to often find. The staff, Maddi was so incredibly helpful and made sure that my fiancé and I were always taken care of. Refilling drinks, napkins, clearing plates, ect. Created an atmosphere of comfort and above and beyond service. Atmosphere is cozy and friendly, the owner Skip was super friendly and offered fun a lively conversations. TLDR: 5 Stars would return read more

I really think it's hard to find a "unique" place for lunch, but I will say this place truly is a local gem. The burgers were well seasoned and tasty. I like the fact the patties were hand formed. 5 stars for food and quality. In addition, service was attentive and friendly. You can really tell the staff enjoys what they are doing. 5 stars for staff For a relatively small space it well thought out and both the dining area and bathrooms were clean and tidy. I just realized this after we left, but there was no push for tipping. No tag on the card machine that you needed to bypass. I always have felt that fast food places that only hand over your food in a paper bag shouldn't be pressing for tips. I will say after going there for the first time, I would have tipped given the opportunity. They even bus their own tables! read more

Great food! Caleb has good customer service, super friendly, interacts great with every guest coming through! Chill atmosphere and spot!

This is a local business. He is very kind and welcomes everyone with a smile and a warm greeting as they enter the restaurant he even goes from one table to the next to check on the people waiting for their food and also enjoying their food. It was my first time here, but my family has come quite a few times. I was absolutely shocked by how amazing the food was. I wish I had come here earlier. We decided to share a burger and sandwich and they were kind enough to split them as you can see in the picture. We ordered two kinds of fries, and I really loved the rosemary, sweet potato fries. We were actually very impressed by the steak sandwich, although this place is known for their burgers (we ordered the mushroom Swiss burger) Another interesting aspect of this place that pushes it over the top is when you make your purchase at the counter, they tell you to pick a card if it is the card of the day you get a free meal . Hope to be back soon thank you Skip read more

This was a random find for me as I just wanted to stop somewhere to eat quickly. This place looked good, and did NOT disappoint. I got the western burger and a strawberry shake. That burger was absolutely amazing. Best burger i've ever had. Ever. Totally getting that again. The shake was amazing too. Creamy and not too viscous. Great. If I was forced to complain, the only thing i would have to say is that i didn't get enough of those waffle fries. They tasted amazing, and were so crispy. They were SO good. This place's food is to die for. And their service was good too. They slid out cards for you to pick your order number, and if you get a joker, it's free. That's a very nice touch to this place. Makes it feel personal. Ambiance was good too. Nice and open, tons of windows, great setup. Not too loud too. Main thing is the food here is SO GOOD. Go here. TRUST ME ON THIS. read more
