Feedback
I used to enjoy hamburgers from this place when I was a kid, back when they were only 25 to 35 cents each. This restaurant is a part of California's history, and I'm thrilled to see it still around for us to experience.
The food was just okay. I was quite disappointed that they don’t offer refills, and there were no signs to indicate this policy. They only provide a refill if you specifically ask for it. The most frustrating part was seeing a sign for Wienerschnitzel, but the place functions more like a fast-food hamburger joint. No refills were given. I ended up spending $50 for my family, and I won’t be coming back unless they change this policy. It’s too hot here; it’s about 110 degrees!
Exercise caution. During my visit to the restaurant, I witnessed a young man mopping the floors and then preparing food without changing his gloves. This is not sanitary.
This was my first time in the Hamburgerstand in El Centro, Ca. We drove through and there were a few cars, but it was definitely worth waiting. If you like Wienerschnitzel, you will like Hamburger stand because they have really delicious Hamburger options. I ate the regular cheeseburger and it was very delicious. I also had the fries because they were not very salty and they were crunchy. We had to wait for our food for a while after we had ordered, but I think the people before us ordered a lot. It was definitely worth waiting and I will return.
