I'm an east coast girl living in a west coast world. I grew up in New England before moving to SoCal for several years. I then lived in NYC or a year before moving to AZ in 2009. I worked in the entertainment industry for many years of my adult life and have a deep love for photography, writing, and traveling around the U.S. as well as to far-flung locations around the world. Travel is my life and writing about it is a dream!
Hamburger Inn was founded in 1938 by Ernest and Lillian Brown across the street from where it is located today. The present location was built in 1956. This is a diner that people remember going to as children and still grab a bite to eat here as adults. It’s not just the nostalgia but the great food and service that bring many back again and again.
Upon arriving at Hamburger Inn, you will be greeted by its vintage neon sign. Enter the doors, and you will see more of a throwback to a past decade with the counter barstools and tile flooring.
Even the menu has an old-fashioned feel although it has been modernized. The diner still uses classic from-scratch recipes from when it first opened but has since added salads and plant-based burgers for those who don't eat meat or are trying to eat healthier.
Breakfast is served! With all the options for the first meal of the day, you may want to try one of the diner's filling homemade buttermilk biscuit sandwiches with
a fried egg, cheese, and your choice of meat.
Lunch options are aplenty as well. Sandwiches like the patty melt or a classic grilled cheese are hard to beat. Pair it with a side order of fries, onion rings, or tots for the perfect meal!
A restaurant with "hamburger" in its name, of course, has plenty of hamburger options on the menu and why not order something that they are famous for? The most popular burger on the menu is the "Regular" and it is the "Original Fried Onion Burger" served with fried onions and pickles.
One rule of thumb is to always save room for dessert and that is what you must do when you come for a meal at Hamburger Inn! The homemade pies are a suburb ending to a delicious meal.
