Willie's Hamburgers

It was a cold day and cold inside. Great food and fun service.

Amazing burgers and shakes! The ladies working there are so wonderful and made the best burger I've had in a long time

Delicious chiliburger, even better than Tommy's. Garlic fries were on point. Definitely coming again if I ever find myself in Sac for some reason.

Willies, new owners have really stepped it up! Glad I give another chance after years of ignoring it. Fast service. Nice atmosphere. Seating inside and outside.

I eat here at least once a month, sometimes twice. The burgers are fresh never frozen and the prices are fairly inexpensive.

I heard about Willie's Burgers from my old pal'et Attababy Gittsmoore, she says she goes there once a week. The cheeseburgers are the best in Sactown she claims, but it's the dogs that bring her back week after week. Well, I happen to be good friends of the world's most renowned aficionado of the hot dog, so whenever someone says this or that about a hot dog joint...I call my old pal Anaconda John from Guerneville, he's the foremost authority of the wiener and holds 7 world titles...but that's another story. Today we're talking hot dogs, specifically bacon wrapped dogs and tots with chili on the side! All I can say is Spectacular! ☆☆☆☆☆

Willies has always been one of my favorite places for food. Burgers fries and shakes deal. Better than In and Out Burgers, and also has animal style grilled onions. Onion rings were 5 stars, but you gotta order them extra crispy. Portions were pretty big.

The burgers are excellent and the Zoo fries 🍟 are really a treat! The food is always fresh and the service is great. The reason for the 4 stars is the dinning area is usually filled with the deliveries.... The good news is the supplies go down quickly. The place is always hopping so all their ingredients is always fresh.

Huge servings, great flavor, clean seating area inside and outside.

My favorite Sacramento fast food place. I've had the chili cheese burger, chili slaw dog, and fried zucchini. All great. And can't beat less than $10 for a full meal!

Solid tasty burgers and quick service. Burgers are not too greasy either. I come here now whenever I'm craving an InNOut double double or animal fries.

Willie’s has been mine and my partners go-to post show food for a few years now. I always look forward to getting their garlic fries!

The service was fast and the food was excellent. Especially great was how late they are open ! We had midnight munchies and boy was it good! Even the famous Sacramento Police dept where also enjoying the food 👮

Generic, classic American burger — not gourmet, not trying to be. Just a solid, straightforward burger that hits the spot. Juicy patty, toasted bun, fresh toppings, decent fries. Nothing fancy, nothing overhyped. If you want a simple, reliable burger, Willie’s does it right.

Best place to get a late night burger, consistently good food. Sometimes they take a while when they're busy but worth the wait. The slaw is $4 extra on the chili cheese fries, $36 for 2 burgers, fries, and a drink.

Yummy solid little diner. The people working were really nice. The banana shake was bomb. Had some vegetarian options too 💙 although the burgers looked bomb

Wry nice hole in the wall type burger joint. Great portions and very tasty. Friendly and very efficient staff in a walkable neighborhood with ok parking.

I have gotten recommendations for this place, so I wanted to try out. This is a small, small business, family owned. It's a little small place, but it definitely has good burgers. Coleslaw was on a better side as well. The seating is a little tight, but they have a few seats. Good parking outside. They do get busy, so come when open.

Love this place! Fast service great food! Our family has been enjoying the burger and 🍟😋 for 15 years! They stay open late . Outside seating available. I give Willie's 👍👍❤️ Sincerely Eileen Bonner Notary Public American River Notary Apostille Serving Sacramento & Placer

It was a cold day and cold inside. Great food and fun service.

The Hammer 4 is a burger that is trying to make sure you get fed. Portions are generous prices are aggressively fair and the add Pastrami on the burger turned it into a veritable meat mountain! Will be a regular, for sure worth checking out.

Delicious burgers, onion rings, garlic fries, shakes. You can eat inside or on patio but I wouldn't consider it atmosphere. Best to get food to go.

An institution for Sacramento. I’ve been coming here since the 90’s and it hasn’t changed much. The burgers and fries are fresh and tasty. Parking is difficult, but made easier with the neighboring lot on the south side.

Willies rocks.... I found them through Google. I was in sac and hungry. The only place open at 230 am. Let me tell you, the seating area was packed and there were 10 in front of me waiting for food. It was a Saturday night. Got my food and drove home 50 min. Sunday came around and I was needing to eat so I drove the , 50 minutes all the way just to get another Willies double burger and fries. I will, without question, make the 50 minute drive to Willies if I find myself craving a really nice hamburger. It's fast too. Ready in less then 10 minutes. Less then 15 the first time. Real beef, real veggies and a soft fresh bunn. Ya, if you find a place that's open till 3am and it's packed and still taking orders at 230 am you know it's worth the wait. Willies 5⭐🍔

Great for the price and a local landmark. Food is unrepentantly greasy and very good for the palate if not for the veins. Odds of seeing a fight break out get kind of high around 2am, but that's not the staff's fault; all the local bars close at 1:45. So, you know, just know what you're getting into; that can be kind of fun too in its way.

Willie's is a local institution! Love the chili fries, the burger ingredients are fresh, and they are open late. The service is fast and professional. I usually get food to go but the dining space is nice when they aren't super busy.

I usually stop by Willy’s late at night, and the food always tastes really, really good. The burgers hit the spot and the staff is always friendly—great experience overall. That said, the place could use some small renovations, and the fountain drink machine could be cleaner and taste better. Just a bit of upkeep would go a long way. Still, I keep coming back for the great food and late-night vibes!

It was good but after the clubs close be wary allot of the younger crowd will be there. Nothing bad just took a while to recive food,

I thought that the food was good. I wasn't blown away, though. The onion rings were crispy and delicious. Seating is limited, and outside seating is available.

Easy and local burger place. Feels like a part of sacramento history. My burger was decent, tastes like a simple one you would make at a park. I really liked the chilli fries and casual atmosphere.

Food and portions were excellent Needed salt

Willie's is a local institution. The food is great, the service has always been a little hit and miss, and the restaurant looks well used but clean. Today we got a double cheeseburger and a single cheeseburger with pastrami. Both burgers were excellent. The fries were crisp and nicely salted. This trip, the employees were friendly and helpful. The place could do with a facelift but it's still serviceable.

4/5 This place was great. Me and my dad came on the Fourth of July because no other place was open and they were super busy but our food came out pretty quickly. I ordered double cheeseburger and it was great. I also ordered some regular fries and again no problems there. My dad ordered a triple cheeseburger and garlic fries and he said that they were hitting the spot! It was a classic burgers and fries joint with other options too. I saw they had hotdogs and some basic sandwiches like a Caprese and other options. The pricing was reasonable and I was happy with pretty much everything. My only complaint is that it was super hot in there but granted the Fourth of July this year fell on an extremely hot day and maybe their AC wasn’t working. Don’t worry, we still had a great meal and we will be returning!

Great little burger stop. To me it resembles in-n-out. The burger was hot, all of the ingredients tasted fresh. All of the condiments come together and offer a good burger. The burger patty is thin but perfectly fine by me. The fresh were hot and perfectly salted. A small order could easily feed two. The ambiance is a perfect hole in the wall gem, supplies are stacked on tables in chairs in the dining room, the environment is clean and actively being cleaned inside and out. I will have to return and try other menu items. Lots of customers combined with the short hours of operations seems to tell me it's a local hot spot.

Straight forward burger joint. Read menu board share your choices with cashier. Followed by here or to go then if it will be cash or card, ranch with your order and if you want fresh onions. Let's get into how delicious the burger is...DELICIOUS, flavorful seasoned, buns so light. Garlic fries made to order just the right amount of parmesan and garlic... not salty. My dining companion greatly enjoyed the hand battered onion rings. We shared a hot dog that had a good snap... dressed with fresh onions and relish. This is a must visit if you are near Sacramento.

Willie's has been around for quite awhile and is part of an old-school fast food style of making quick, tasty burgers to order. While I haven't tried their chili burgers or fries (yet), their regular burgers are decently good. The closest thing is probably an In-and-Out burger. If you don't like those you probably won't like these much either. But if you want a local version along with some delicious fries, you probably won't go too wrong with Willie's. The lot can be a bit crowded during peak times but most are there for pick-up as there are only a few tables. Prices are reasonable and definitely worth stopping by if you're in the mood for a classic greasy burger.

Chili cheese fries - Tommy’s style, not enough chili coupled with barely seasoned fry 6/10

The food is good but the customer service is terrible. They were very dismissive as if we were bothering them, the cashier didn’t even look up when giving me the receipt and just held it up for me to grab while looking down, and wasn’t listening to our order, we had to tell her 3 times what our order was because she was half reading something else while taking our order at the same time. While the food is good, it’s not good enough to excuse the lack of customer service.

I really hate to leave a poor review, but this place has changed so much. I hardly ever go in the day time normally go late nights. I took my two boys to lunch. The lady taking my order could barley speak English I spent 70$ feeding 6 people. She gave me 1 drink then had the audacity to hound me about a extra 3$ she forgot to charge me for initially. Idk left a sour taste in my mouth probably won’t be coming back. Also didn’t see any gloves being worn in kitchen with atleast 6-7 ladies preparing food🤯

I was so looking forward to a Chili Tamale and fries and hadn't been to Willie's in a while. Tamales still on the menu but no longer served. Thanks Willies it's been fun. I stopped going to your store in Old Town and today I walked a mile down to get some chili tamales. Absolutely no reason to return... pro-tip maybe take Tamales off the menu if you no longer serve them. Because I had walked a mile and no other options... Had a chili burger instead, definitely not the same.

I ordered through DoorDash because it gives an option too. I get there they are saying they don’t know what I’m talking bout they don’t use DoorDash. I’m trying to show them that is has their address on it as well as my receipt they didn’t even try to look or even hear what I had to say very bad customer service. I’d never come back.
