What People Are Saying About Willie's Burgers-Chiliburgers
Featured Review

The Scene – Willie's is different from any other burger joint around. It's cleaner. So clean, in fact, that in addition to its scrubbed-down black and white checkerboard floor, Willie's has mounted paper towel dispensers on the walls, encouraging its customers to be as spic-and-span as its staff. – – The Food – These juicy burgers, top-notch shakes, yummy fries and tamales--yes, tamales--served with hot chili, tomatoes and onions are worth driving to from just about anywhere. – – What to Order – Try the Hammer 2, a luscious ensemble…
Editor's Tips
- One of Sacramento's Best:
- Nominated for its tasty burgers and impressive bent for cleanliness.
- Don't Save a Tree:
- One napkin will not cut it here. Use the paper towels that are all around the dining room.
- Hold the Tray:
- Your fries come out at a different part of the counter than your burger, so pick up the fries sans tray.

Great chili reminds me of tommy's

I stumbled across Willies 5 years ago and been going there every since. By chance the owner was there got to talking and noticed his sign about Tommy's. Had a chili burger it reminded me of Tommy's in LA 32 years ago!! Except for one thing at Tommy's there are no fry's just chips. They even have Tommy's chili pepper! Better than a canned jalapeno! I never new that Tommy's secret ingredient is carrots???? Who would have ever guessed!!
- Pros: Great chilli
- Cons: Drinks
Too expensive, bad fries, over priced drinks

There n back again #2 Wow had 2 make another willies review. This place always a Sacromento clasic has just gotten better since my last visit in 2006. The chili is still fantastic and now served at a hotter temp. The burgers and hotdogs are greatly improved. All hotdogs are steamed n have that essential snap that a great chillidog requires. The hotdog buns either steamed or grilled were a perfect match to an impecable chili experance, easily a match 4 pinks, or tommy's, in Los Angeles. The tomatoes, and pickles, were crisp and yummy. A great taste contrast on the chili burgers, all in all well worth the trip. Also the best darn fries n onion rings. When in Sacromento dont miss out. Plus they had an extensive breakfast menu. (i havent had the chance 2 try yet but it looked incredable 4 a chilli joint:) n hey the employees really cared.
- Pros: hot tasty tangy chili
- Cons: not in my home town
Watch What You Eat
by notsothrilled at Citysearch
I was disappointed in Willie's Burgers yesterday, due to the fact that their burger was cold and messy. Also, case and final point as I watched the lady take the fries out of the fry bin and put them back into the fryer to reheat them. How gross is it eating over saturated doubled dipped fries. On top of that she wiped them (the fries) with with a so-called towel to absorb the oil. Who knows where the towel has been. Make new fries for crying out loud. Knowing such I did not eat the fries and took and bite out of the burger and chucked the rest. What a waste for a students hard earned money. I think In-n-Out would have been a better choice. Bye-Bye Willie's. (Fair Oaks & Arden)
