I will be coming back for sure! Usually a big line out the door around lunch time, but its for a good reason! Best burger around! And the cheese skirt is amazing!

Worst

I've tried getting in the new place twice, ran out of time waiting had to get back to work, both times I was trying to treat some business people to one of our Sacramento Icons. ...

this is the most awesom best Hamburger I have ever eaten in all my life. 9/29/2008

When we were watching the food network one night we caught this hambutger joint called the SQUEEZ INN so my husband and I ventured out looking the address and found a little orange building with no parking anywher but we wanted to try this burger that was on the foodnetwork that we waited and waited until a space became open then we got in line and it was a long wait of course it was lunch time but we did'nt care and let me tell you we were very very hungry so after waiting about 45 min, we were in we got to sit at the bar not realy a bar I should say counter, let me tell you the girls where so friendly and the service well they made us feel very welcome like family then our burgers came and oh my God they were so good, that every chance we get we are out there you see we have been there several times and the girls remember us and that is a very good feeling, just writing this is makeing me very very hungry. Want a off the hook burger go to SQUEEZE INN I promise you won't regret it. Thank you Food Network for bringing Squeez inn to our view. Thank you Squeeze Inn for being in Sacrmento. Pros: two thumbs up Cons: not enough parking more

Great Burger Experience 9/5/2008

We drove 90 miles from Chico to try Sacramento's best burger and were not dissappointed. The dive is hard to find and I think we would have been lost without a GPS. Parking is very limited, we just arrived before the rush at 11:00am. I was able to go right in and sit at the small bar to order food for my wife and I and watch the cook/owner do his thing. The place is tiny but that is obviously what they are going for and is part of the draw. If you want comfort go to burger king. I ordered a double squeeze thinking i was hungry enough. The burger was HUGE. A single would have been plenty but I did manage to down it all. Fries are OK but the burger is why I came. If you sit outside, flies can be an issue but my anticipation of the burger overrode them. I will bring anyone that comes to visit to this joint because it is well worth it. Very friendly servers and great food...should be a historic landmark... Pros: Food, service, ambiance Cons: parking more

good burgers, slow service, no room 7/1/2008

went here after reading the great reviews. burgers are unique and really good. the crispy chesse is awesome. fries were average, maybe because i got the last few of the batch. waited about 25 mins for food b/c there is only ONE cook. this place is about as big as a 1 car garage. very expensive would be the down side. and pretty much everything you want on a burger will be EXTRA... alot EXTRA $. i ordered 2 squeeze burgers with cheese w/fries and it was $14. good for a unique experience, but the Habit will be a tastier/more satisfying burger. Pros: unique burgers, Cons: mediocre fries, small area, long wait, pricey more

Review of Diners and Dives opinion! 6/7/2008

TODAY IS THE DAY... We are starting this trip with a 5-Star rating based on what we saw on TV but, we are headed to The Squeeze today in Sacramento from Turlock. We are looking forward to it. We also saw it on the Food Network on ""Diners and Dives"" Will write a full report tomorrow!! more

BEST BURGER I EVER HAD !! 2/26/2008

It didn't bother me to wait for the burger which was great tasting and for the price was worth ever penny I paid! Pros: VERY GOOD FOOD !! Cons: Not enough parking!! more

Costly, Unsatisfying, No Parking, Dirty - these are the good points 2/19/2008

After reading glowing reviews and seeing the squeeze inn on TV my wife were very much looking forward to experience and food. So we drove 60 miles north with great expectations. WHAT A DISSAPPOINTMENT! You any one of 11 permanently mounted barstools to choose from - all with spacing made for the size of a 12 year old. Our order was taken while we were in line - before being seated. It was also done before we were seated. We were told there was additional seating ""OUT BACK"". Additional seating - what an overstatement - it was literally a few dirty tables next to a pile of garbage and the dumpster - after looking we politely declined and waited several minutes for something to ""open up"" inside. By now our food is cold and soggy. The famous crispy cheese is now cold and stuck to the paper wrapper and cardboard and to top it off the burgers had onions and mustard - which they were ordered without. We asked to have to order remade and the waitress agreed - but then with a straight face asked us if we would mind standing so some other customers food that had been prepared while they standing in line could sit and eat - but she gaurenteed they would have a seat when our food was ready. She was true to her word - MY SEAT WAS 2 STOOLS FROM THE WALL - MY WIFES WAS 3 MORE DOWN Great for sharing an order of fries! more

Very overrated and over-hyped burger joint 11/25/2007

Uncomfortable surroundings and a feeling of cramped quarters.......anyone who is remotely claustrophobic should avoid this place. Pros: good food Cons: uncomfortable surroundings more

Almost as good as In N Out 11/19/2007

We drove up from San Diego on a road trip to experience The Squeeze Inn after watching The Food Network episode. We both did not eat on purpose at all before we came in, and that was a good decision. Definitely a small dining area, though there is room in the back. We waited about 10 minutes to sit down, and 10 more minutes to get our order. My husband and I both had the Squeezeburger w/ cheese .... bacon, mushrooms and avocado for my husband (who did not have the gigantic cheese skirt that I did) and a large order of fries. No problem with service, everyone was very friendly and conversational, we had quick refills of drinks, empty ketchup bottles and salt shakers. If we are ever in the area again, we will definitely stop by. Pros: Good food, cheese, bacon, cheese and bacon. Cons: Hard to park more

Great Burger! 11/4/2007

Ok, This place is great. I've been living in the Sacramento area for a few years and thanks to the Food Network I've discovered a great place for a burger. The draping of the crispy cheese was delicious especially when you bite into the burger and you get that extra crunch. The fresh fries were really good too. I wish my appetite was bigger though that day. Anyhow, I definitely recommend this restaurant. There is a line so be prepared. I also read a few reviews prior to trying this restaurant and there were a few complaints about a specific waitress. It was pretty obvious who the girl was. You can definitely sense her attitude but she was prompt to refilling our drinks without us asking and when we left she offered lids for our sodas. more

Great food. Bad customer service. 8/18/2007

The burgers are great if you're willing to stick out the wait. Here's the deal; the cook was nice, the brown hair server was nice, but Sam. Sam continued to serve at least 4 other customers who ordered after us. We asked her for our order and she gave attitude and ignored us. I had to ask the cook for our order and he told Sam to finish the order for us. She ignored the cook and then served the 5th customer who ordered after us while continuing to ignore us. The brown haired server then asked Sam to finish our order and Sam refused to acknowledge. The brown hair server finally gave us our cold fries and we left. Our order had sat there for about 10 minutes which caused our burgers to be luke warm. Pros: The cheese Cons: Parking, Sam, and the wait. more

Wow the best hamburger and unbelievable tacos 6/25/2007

This place (the Squeeze inn) is the best hamburger place in the world by far and away . i found it by watching the food channel i drove from Davis ca not to far away i was very very happy with good service, and the food well there is not a word to describe it. Very small place that is the only part i did not like, but i was thinking it is called the squeeze inn so i got over it. i am heading there today as a matter of fact just wonderful hope you enjoy as much as i did and prices are surprisingly low Pros: Best hamburger that is the (pro) Cons: there is no cons this place is called the squeeze inn so if you think small you should of known more

Greatest Burger in the World 4/28/2007

The Squeeze with Cheese is hands down bar-none the greatest burger in the world. I moved a lot growing up and whenever we settled into a new town we would go from burger joint to burger joint looking for the best burger in town. When we moved to Sacramento we started our quest and hit-the-streets, it was burgers as usual until we found the Squeeze Inn. I can attest with utmost certainty that there is no better burger in Sacramento, the Western United States, and most likely the entire world. In part due to the unbelievable deliciousness of the Squeeze Inn?s burgers my family has set up permanent residence in Sacramento and if I someday leave this city I will undoubtedly be forced to set up pilgrimages back just for the unearthly cheese-skirt laden marvel that is the Squeeze with Cheese. Pros: Greatest burger ever, cheese skirt, good chicken tacos Cons: There is only one on Earth and my traveling heart is eternally bound to it. more

Best Burger 3/5/2007

I like their burgers because they are made the old way, just the right amount of meat ,greese and bun. You will spend a bit more that In & Out but it's definitely worth it more

Well Worth The Visit 2/10/2007

Hamburger lovers will not be disappointed at Squeeze Inn. I ate there for the first time today (finally!), and have to say that I had one of the best burgers I have ever eaten. I ordered a Squeezeburger with cheese. The meat was flavorful and juicy, there was lots of delicious cheese, and the bun was the best I've ever had with a hamburger. The fries were also very good. I'm looking forward to going back - maybe I'll order the Double Squeezeburger with cheese next time! Pros: Great food, friendly service Cons: The place is tiny - you may have to sit outside in the back. more

A BIG SUPRISE IN A LITTLE PLACE! 2/5/2007
