Burger Junction

The second time I came here and gave them a shot. This time they failed again. I ordered fries and a side of cheese. Well the cheese is advised at 0.69 cents and was charged 1.99$ for burnt cheese with hair inside the cheese. The sanitary conditions need to improve. The cashier was using gloves he handled food with to ring me up and didn't change gloves. Then I see the cashier / food handler shubham grab his private area and continue to fix food with the same gloves. Don't recommend.

So good! First let me say the curly fries were so crispy and crunchy. The restaurant has indoor seating however it is small with limited tables. This is an order at the counter type of spot and you can dine in or take-out. We also ordered the cheese curds, onion rings, a milkshake and 2 burgers. The pineapple milkshake was delicious! It tasted like a dole whip but with fresh chunks of pineapple! They blend the milkshakes right in front so you can see how fresh it is. The burgers were huge and very tasty!

This is a long story, I'll try to compress it.1989 Burger Junction opens with brothers Ben and Sal operating the business. IMMEDIATE SUCCESS. A local car show "Florin Fat Fenders" joined every Saturday evening from spring until about Halloween time and it was a great scene.It was one of my favorite places as a kid. AMAZING burgers (The grand always did it) and cool cars. The formula worked.Time passed, the neighborhood got a little rougher, brother Ben left the picture from what I saw and although the food remained good, things like upkeep started to slide. Sal kept the ship afloat as long as he could.7 Months ago Sal sold the restaurant to another family.The new owners added Chaat/Halaal selections to the menu. My Parents weren't crazy about it as they said it tastes different. I had to go see for myself.The Food:Yes, they were right, the food does have a different feel to it. The proportions of all the ingredients is not 100% there...yet. The bun is a little much for the patty and the burger seems to fall apart. The bun seems the same but its harder to cut for some reason. The patty (and in my case the pastrami) is different because it is halaal. However those flavors aren't it's undoing. My patty was a little overcooked and shrunk to a size that was disproportionate to the patty. The Pastrami was good but it was much thicker than previous and lost its balance of flavors. Our order was mixed up too.These are all little things but really add up. I'm hoping the chef can take this as constructive criticism as I'm hoping they succeed.The Ambiance:I'm really glad that the new owners are trying to clean the place up. There are new wall treatments and the Bathrooms look like they've been slightly remodeled. I saw buckets of paint and remodeling supplies in the back area and that was a great sign. The move to digital signage is a huge step in the right direction and the 21st century.Florin Fat Fenders:I'm really glad this part of the formula was retained. I was walking the show and overheard people mentioning that was a part of the contract when selling the business. As with my aspect of car culture you really have to work to keep it alive. A lot of folks who have Hot Rods are getting older and it becomes a lot of work to keep the culture alive. I'm glad they are making th effort.In closing there were a lot of positives to my visit today. I'm hoping the new owners can keep developing the business and bring it back to its former glory. I'm sure their wallets will appreciate that too.

I used to love this place when Ben and Sal was running it now it bad I came for there lunch specials the guy give me the gaint junction meal but it does not look like a gaint junction nor did I ask for bacon on my burger there bacon is weird too don't like it horrible taste the fries was under cook just so much wrong the sprite was fresh that best thing I can say is the food was edible

Always a solid burger. The pastrami is light & doesn't distract from the flavor of the beef. I recommend a side of the thousand island sauce. Ambiance is old fashioned burger joint. New ownership didn't change the quality of ingredients or flavors. Whenever I'm around I try to swing in for a burger. I recommend getting a giant junction instead of the grand junction as the meat to bread ratio is better in the larger burger. Service is standard and nice. Will be back!

Food used to be, new owners have ruined the food and the old burger place charm. Customer service is terrible and no A/C. My burger was swimming in thousand island sauce, I've been coming here since I was a small child... very sad. Also got charged for large pop cups when I only received smalls.

This place is not any longer what it used to be... GREATNow under new ownership the meat is either overcooked or undersized.I strongly suggest the new owners read the customer's reviews and change things for the better before it's too late.Inside it's just as it used to be before no complaints there.Place is quiet and ambiance is all right.Looking out the window you'll see occasionally a homeless or someone pushing a cart.Area is just like everywhere in S Sac.Kinda ghetto but so is many big cities in California.3 stars overall

New owners. My daughter's burger was uncooked...mine was well done. When I told them of her uncooked burger, he said "I serve all my burgers medium." How? Mine was well done. I ordered the Chilli burger...the beans on the side...nowhere near 'chili'. The bun was significantly thick and I couldn't taste the contents of the burger. Honestly, I could've ordered and ate the beans alone.We ordered onion rings to share...I paid $5.99, for 5 onion rings. I can say the servers were pleasant...outside of them trying to justify that undercooked burger with that bogus excuse.I honestly have no intention of coming back.

I've been coming here for years and didn't realize that ownership had changed. The new owners seem like a nice family but might not be their best business decision to take over what was known as a local favorite.We gave them a shot anyway (they say they kept the recipe the same) and so ordered our usuals: 2 Grand Junction and onion rings. It wasn't bad but it was not the same. The burger was on the dryer side, the buns got soggy. I don't remember having difficulty with the buns before but my burger fell apart halfway through eating, not sure what happened there. The pastrami was disappointing. It wasn't the same as before. I'm pretty sure they're using a different brand/vendor for their ingredients which can play a big part in the flavors. On the other hand, the onion rings were the same! The ambiance also changed a little, they did a little redecorating and updated the POS system but kept the tables/chairs. No longer the old manual cashier I used to love to hear, no longer the train decorations on the wall. No longer the old-school vibe that makes a young millennial like myself feel like I've traveled back in time. ESPECIALLY, no longer Uncle Sal cooking in the back. We used to love going there hoping to see Uncle Sal. And when he was cooking, we were excited because we knew our burgers were going to be extra fantastic that day. I miss him. Hope he's enjoying his retirement because he deserves it. But selfishly I wish I could just have 1 more burger made by him. I hope the new owners find their way with this business and maybe they can slowly transition out and make this fully their own.

I had a fantastic dining experience at Burger Junction. The food was incredibly fresh and delicious, with each burger bursting with flavor . The service was exceptional, with attentive and friendly staff ensuring that every need was met. I highly recommend Burger Junction for anyone looking for a memorable burger experience.
