There are few things more American than a good ol’ fashioned burger. There’s a reason this iconic food item has stuck around for so long. A juicy patty, a soft bun, fresh veggies, and plenty of melted cheese is all you need to recreate this perfect concoction of flavors and textures. However, in recent years we’ve witnessed burgers become victim to a blossoming and experimental culinary scene. These days, it’s become common to walk into a restaurant and order a $15 burger with all sorts of toppings you’d never dream of putting on this American staple! Luckily for us, there are still plenty of places that take classic burgers seriously. The old fashioned burger stand featured below is one of them. This no-frills joint keeps it simple and that’s just how we like it.
It seems like it's getting harder and harder to find a good old fashioned burger these days, right? Sometimes you'd rather skip the bells and whistles and indulge in a greasy, perfectly cooked burger —prepared the way it should be. Look no further than Scott's Burger Shack in Sacramento.
Scott's Burger Shack is a timeless little burger stand that you could easily drive right by without even knowing it. The humble shack may not look incredibly appealing from the outside, but trust us. It's what's on the inside that counts.
Well, you can't actually go inside. This burger stand is just that—a stand. Walk up, place your order, and enjoy one of the best burgers in the state while sitting down at one of their few blue picnic tables. The scenery consists of a busy road and bustling auto shop, but that's all right. You'll be too distracted by the thing of beauty in front of you to notice!
Along with its old fashioned charm are delightfully old fashioned prices. Scott's is one of the few spots in Northern California where you can actually buy a burger for just a few bucks. Their deluxe burger is just $2.85 (20 cents more for cheese). Wanna make it a double? That'll cost you just $3.70.
Be sure to bring cash because Scott's doesn't accept debit or credit cards. It's all part of the charm! It's truly amazing how much food you can get for such cheap prices here. If you really want to challenge yourself, go all out and order their famous Triple Fatboy Burger. This thing may look monstrous, but it's oh so delicious.
