Squeeze Inn

07/01/2008 Posted by daquietmofo

went here after reading the great reviews. burgers are unique and really good. the crispy chesse is awesome. fries were average, maybe because i got the last few of the batch. waited about 25 mins for food b/c there is only ONE cook. this place is about as big as a 1 car garage. very expensive would be the down side. and pretty much everything you want on a burger will be EXTRA... alot EXTRA $. i ordered 2 squeeze burgers with cheese w/fries and it was $14. good for a unique experience, but the Habit will be a tastier/more satisfying burger.

Pros: unique burgers,

Cons: mediocre fries, small area, long wait, pricey

TODAY IS THE DAY... We are starting this trip with a 5-Star rating based on what we saw on TV but, we are headed to The Squeeze today in Sacramento from Turlock. We are looking forward to it. We also saw it on the Food Network on "Diners and Dives" Will write a full report tomorrow!! 06/07/08-Went to "The Squeeze Inn" yesterday and from the time we got in line until the time we ate it was 1 hour and 13 mins. I have to tell you that it was well worth its wait!! Don't limit yourself to just the "squeeze burgers", we ordered the taco's as well and OH MY GOSH...what a fantastic taco. Don't get me wrong the burger was great too!!! The only reason a customer wouldn't like the staff, would be because they are jealous!!! They were all sooo cute with great personalities and BEAUTIFUL smiles...We will recommend this place and definately go back....Ted & Joni Noain-Turlock, CA

It didn't bother me to wait for the burger which was great tasting and for the price was worth ever penny I paid! The wife and I drove all the way from McKinleyville Ca and was not dissapointed! I do have one suggestion if possible how would the burgers taste if the burger was grilled on BBQ first ,then put on grill with cheese. The blonde girl there was very polite and we had a good time talking to the nice people while we were waiting for the best burger ever! So next time your in SAC make one of your stops for a AWESOME BURGER !! Thanks Sqeeze INN !

Pros: VERY GOOD FOOD !!

Cons: Not enough parking!!

After reading glowing reviews and seeing the squeeze inn on TV my wife were very much looking forward to experience and food. So we drove 60 miles north with great expectations. WHAT A DISSAPPOINTMENT! You any one of 11 permanently mounted barstools to choose from - all with spacing made for the size of a 12 year old. Our order was taken while we were in line - before being seated. It was also done before we were seated. We were told there was additional seating "OUT BACK". Additional seating - what an overstatement - it was literally a few dirty tables next to a pile of garbage and the dumpster - after looking we politely declined and waited several minutes for something to "open up" inside. By now our food is cold and soggy. The famous crispy cheese is now cold and stuck to the paper wrapper and cardboard and to top it off the burgers had onions and mustard - which they were ordered without. We asked to have to order remade and the waitress agreed - but then with a straight face asked us if we would mind standing so some other customers food that had been prepared while they standing in line could sit and eat - but she gaurenteed they would have a seat when our food was ready. She was true to her word - MY SEAT WAS 2 STOOLS FROM THE WALL - MY WIFES WAS 3 MORE DOWN Great for sharing an order of fries! The food was really nothing special. Our orders were the squeeze with cheese burgers and an order of fries. The burgers, when finally made correctly were overdosed with season salt and the fried cheese was really overhyped. Although the fries were made fresh they were undercooked, soggy and WAY over salted. All this combined with 2 med sodas came to $19.50. Even for pleasant surroundings and well cooked burger, fries and sodas somewhat pricey - but for the product served and ambiance completely unrealistic. So if you have your mind made up to try the squeeze my recommendation is DON'T set the bar to high so you won't have far to fall when in fails to satisfy.

Uncomfortable surroundings and a feeling of cramped quarters.......anyone who is remotely claustrophobic should avoid this place. As to the burgers & fries, they are EXCELLENT but they are very expensive. We paid $16.65 (including tax & tip) for our 2-person lunch. The fries are a good deal ($2.50 for a very large box, enough for two people). The burgers ($4.80) are rather pricey considering the surroundings. My wife did not get to enjoy her meal because of the lack of elbow room. The person next to her kept bumping into her! They put way too much ice into the drinks. I had to keep asking for refills because there was hardly any liquid in the cup. On the plus side, the waitress did ask me if I wanted a lid after my last refill. I would rate this place as follows: AMBIENCE: ONE STAR FOOD: FOUR STARS overall rating; THREE STARS.

Pros: good food

Cons: uncomfortable surroundings

We drove up from San Diego on a road trip to experience The Squeeze Inn after watching The Food Network episode. We both did not eat on purpose at all before we came in, and that was a good decision. Definitely a small dining area, though there is room in the back. We waited about 10 minutes to sit down, and 10 more minutes to get our order. My husband and I both had the Squeezeburger w/ cheese .... bacon, mushrooms and avocado for my husband (who did not have the gigantic cheese skirt that I did) and a large order of fries. No problem with service, everyone was very friendly and conversational, we had quick refills of drinks, empty ketchup bottles and salt shakers. If we are ever in the area again, we will definitely stop by.

Pros: Good food, cheese, bacon, cheese and bacon.

Cons: Hard to park

Ok, This place is great. I've been living in the Sacramento area for a few years and thanks to the Food Network I've discovered a great place for a burger. The draping of the crispy cheese was delicious especially when you bite into the burger and you get that extra crunch. The fresh fries were really good too. I wish my appetite was bigger though that day. Anyhow, I definitely recommend this restaurant. There is a line so be prepared. I also read a few reviews prior to trying this restaurant and there were a few complaints about a specific waitress. It was pretty obvious who the girl was. You can definitely sense her attitude but she was prompt to refilling our drinks without us asking and when we left she offered lids for our sodas.

I also encountered Sam when my husband and I went to the Squeeze Inn. She was a snotty little c#^t and ignored our requests for more soda. If the burgers weren't so dang tasty, we wouldn't even go there anymore. They need to kick her skank butt to the curb. She could probably get a job at McDonald's or something. I just hate bad customer service. These people act like you're doing them A FAVOR.

Pros: The burgers are GREAT!!!

Cons: Sam Skanky Waitress (she'll probably be working there the rest of her life).

The burgers are great if you're willing to stick out the wait. Here's the deal; the cook was nice, the brown hair server was nice, but Sam. Sam continued to serve at least 4 other customers who ordered after us. We asked her for our order and she gave attitude and ignored us. I had to ask the cook for our order and he told Sam to finish the order for us. She ignored the cook and then served the 5th customer who ordered after us while continuing to ignore us. The brown haired server then asked Sam to finish our order and Sam refused to acknowledge. The brown hair server finally gave us our cold fries and we left. Our order had sat there for about 10 minutes which caused our burgers to be luke warm. So basically our 60 minute experience was ruined because of Sam's poor customer service. Burgers are 4 stars even luke warm. Service is a big fat 1 star.

Pros: The cheese

Cons: Parking, Sam, and the wait.

If there were more places like squeeze inn in Sacramento- it would be a far better place to reside.
