There are plenty of places one can go to buy an overpriced burg with burnt cheese. The squeeze is just one more of those places. Add Ford's and Nationwide meats to that list.
That TV show ruins many of the joints they visit. Jaime's was visited and has gone waaay downhill. Sadly, the Squeeze follows suit.
If you want an excellent burg, go to Scott's Burger shack, or hit the Distillery.

My favorite place for a cheeseburger. Yes it is old and very small but it doesn't matter because the burgers are awesome. If it wasn't good there wouldn't be such long lines every day.
i n out burgers are way better. you have to drive to the industrial part of town and deal with parking and rude service for what? a big ring of cheese around your hamburger meat. big deal. terrible place to eat and way way way overerated.
I have been disabled since I was 10 months old, and grew up in Chicago in a society that was not tolerant nor understanding of "crippled" people. Regardless, I went to college, worked for a major national hotel chain and later became one of their top food executives. I have never ever abused the fact that I am disabled - I am not, I am very able, I just happen to be physically challenged. I have ...
I liked the Squeeze Inn before the lines got too long. Then I discovered Scott's Burger Shack on Franklin Blvd near 21st Ave. Better burgers and better prices, at least 3 bucks cheaper for a combo. The health Inspectors stopped the Squeeze Inn from making fresh cut fries, now their generic fries suck. Check out Scott's, no ADA problems there, it's all take out , no bathrooms, parking is not a pro...
I'll never go here again.
I argee with Michael's post, and he was being nice.
I"ll never go there again.
Rude people that work there.
Food was way to greasy!
Fries where soggy with grease and cold.
Soda tasted like it was diet, when I had requested another it tasted the same.
BAD BAD PLACE!
The food was way greasy, cold and oversalted.
Soda was okay but it takes about 4 refills to get a normal amount.
Read everybodies post that said it was great, they must have changed owners, one place I will not waste my money on.
So gross. Don't ever eat there. I ordered the teriakey sandwich. Waited an hour and it was cold.. The meat was still raw.. And they have rats!!! Omg. The fries were so oily they riped thru the bag! It was not worth it at all. They are serious bitches and dont nswer phones!
I hate to be a spoil sport, but I was not impressed by the food I got at The Squeeze Inn. I learned about this place on the food network and was excited to get the chance to go there when I went to visit my friend in California. However, while we were waiting for our food, I noticed several things that almost made me change my mind about eating there. I'm sorry I didn't. First of all, there is a ...
The cheeseburger is a true wonder of the world- it is so good with the big ring of cheese!! mmmmmmmmmmmmmm!
And-
the crowded lobby and bar is crazyfun, and its controlled chaos- your order can get mixed behind people behind you.
One day we waited 1 hour and 10 minutes for our order so we waited in the podunk dining area out back. As we waited we watched a funny little boy run around :) it was...
YUM!! The crispy cheese on the burgers is so good. It is the most interesting little joint and it may be a long wait but trust me it is worth it. Don't forget the chocolate shake on the side!
I only live 5 minutes from The Squeeze in so I try to go there a few times a month for a great chicken taco! Sometimes when I am really hungry I also get their fries, although I can never finish them because they give you too much! I must admit I am not able to sit inside because I have a young daughter, so I have to sit outside at the picnic tables. The area is really run down, so your eating ex...
Really tasty perfect, veggie burger patty, pickles, cheese... LOVE IT! Will be going back soon. We love Squeeze Inn burgers!
I love the BURGERS & the Philly Steak Sandwich.PLACE is EXTREMLEY TINY, CALL IN order or EAT OUTSIDE! VERY minimal parking, Kind of expensive.THE BEST PHILLY SEAK & Fresh burger. My daughter like sthe fries.The place is the size of a WALK-IN CLOSET!
Had read about this place, so I thought I'd give it a try. Read that it was very small so I and a friend went after the lunch crowd. Only about two people there eating when we showed up, ordered a cheese burger, fries and a soft drink. When are food finally arrived looked greasy and found out yes it was, funny thing also was the burger was dry, the meat didn't taste fresh, tasted like it had been...
The best hamburger I have had in many many many years east coast or west coast. Share the fries or its too much to eat.
When we were watching the food network one night we caught this hambutger joint called the SQUEEZ INN so my husband and I ventured out looking the address and found a little orange building with no parking anywher but we wanted to try this burger that was on the foodnetwork that we waited and waited until a space became open then we got in line and it was a long wait of course it was lunch time b...
We drove 90 miles from Chico to try Sacramento's best burger and were not dissappointed. The dive is hard to find and I think we would have been lost without a GPS. Parking is very limited, we just arrived before the rush at 11:00am. I was able to go right in and sit at the small bar to order food for my wife and I and watch the cook/owner do his thing. The place is tiny but that is obviously...
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...
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...
This is a joint. It has always been a joint. If you want a gourmet burger, go somewhere else. People who have been going here for decades (extreme locals)
know when to go and what to expect. In the old days, every time a food review came out they were busy for weeks. then it would slow down until the next review. They are ALWAYS busy at lunch so get there before or after. They used to be open fe...
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 talk...
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 do...
We went there today and waited over 45 mins to get our to go order when those that ate in and sat at the cramped bar were served before me. Like them staying there was more important than my order. We got the burgers home and were disappointed at how poorly they were packed up. I will say the fries were good. But so not worth the wait. I can get a better burger, way less the wait, and far be...
We've known about this place since before the Food Network! The burgers are a must have if your really hungry and the tacos and great for a smaller meal! The place is small, very small, but they offer seats outside to eat at. My family and I don't mind waiting for the seats inside because it's half the fun! I read some of the other reviews and I don't know who Sam is but we have never experienced...
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 ...
As to the burgers & fries, they are good but overpriced when you consider the surroundings. We paid $16.65 (including tax & tip) for our 2-person lunch. 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...
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/ chee...
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 res...
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.
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 ...
If there were more places like squeeze inn in Sacramento- it would be a far better place to reside.
I haven't ate there yet but the reviews seem to be pretty accurate if it has been on the food chanel.
This place (the Squeeze inn) is the best hamburger place in the world by far and away . i found it by watching the food channel i drove from Davis ca not to far away i was very very happy with good service, and the food well there is not a word to describe it. Very small place that is the only part i did not like, but i was thinking it is called the squeeze inn so i got over it. i am heading ther...
The Squeeze with Cheese is hands down bar-none the greatest burger in the world. I moved a lot growing up and whenever we settled into a new town we would go from burger joint to burger joint looking for the best burger in town. When we moved to Sacramento we started our quest and hit-the-streets, it was burgers as usual until we found the Squeeze Inn. I can attest with utmost certainty that ther...
I like their burgers because they are made the old way, just the right amount of meat ,greese and bun. You will spend a bit more that In & Out but it's definitely worth it
Hamburger lovers will not be disappointed at Squeeze Inn. I ate there for the first time today (finally!), and have to say that I had one of the best burgers I have ever eaten. I ordered a Squeezeburger with cheese. The meat was flavorful and juicy, there was lots of delicious cheese, and the bun was the best I've ever had with a hamburger. The fries were also very good. I'm looking forward ...
This place is little very little, but the food is big, really big! Its the best mom and pop burger and fries in Sacramento! And theres more...A variety of creative options.
This hamburger place is almost IMPOSSIBLE to find. But, once you find it, you'll crave it!!! The burgers are SO good, and they're cooked up unlike any other burger I've had before! The place is really, really small, and the staff are right there, you see how and where everything is cooked, and it's a pretty clean establishment on the inside.
The best burger in town. I've been going there since the late seventies when Ruth and her husband ran it and now under the new owners. I always get a double squeeze with cheese ( off menu) and a hot dog ( the dog is almost as big as the burger and they deep fry it), the chili in the winter is my favorite with a squeeze with cheese. Its made with Habenero Chilis, after the third bite your wipi...
The Squeeze w/cheese is one of the best burgers you will ever find. I travel a lot throughout California and have yet to find a burger that can compare to this one. The buns are Muzzio and are one of the best buns you could get. The french fries are made from real potato's, unlike the majority of places that you go to. The Squeeze Inn is a small place but there is plenty of seating in the bac...
We read about Squeeze Inn online and had to try it. The place is a bit dumpy but the food is so good who cares. The people working there were friendly and fun! Had a bit of a wait for our food, we went right at lunch time and on a Saturday but it was worth it.
We got lucky and grabbed a few seats at the counter while our food was being cooked. Will go back again for sure...huge servings......
This is an average restaurant. The restaurant is small so when it gets busy during the business lunch hour it can be hard to find a seat. They have a great menu of choices and the price is fair. But the food is just average to me.
PROS: none
CONS: needs to be larger
This place is so super tiny, hence the name! Their burgers are so wonderful, you really can't eat anything the rest of the day because of how huge they are. There is usually a crowd, but there is outside dining available in the back. Don't miss it!
PROS: Great Food
CONS: So small it's hard to breathe sometimes.
My co-workers took me here for lunch about two weeks ago and I was in burger heaven!
It's definitely a bit of a hole in the wall and they are not kidding when they say "Squeeze Inn". It was hot and crowded and the back porch seats had lots of flies but that is not why you come here. You come here for the greasy, huge, wonderful Squeeze Burger with a cheese skirt and handcut fries with skins!
...
I have ate at hamburger places from Nebraska to Alaska, Montanna to Texas, and the bottom line is there is only one real hamburger place to eat, "The Squeeze Inn" in Sacramento, Calif. on Fruitridge Road, all the rest are just wanna be's.
My father, Ken Noblett, owned the Squeeze for 15 years before he moved. His food was legendary, and the currect owners keep up this tradition. The Squeeze is small town atmosphere, big city taste, and hometown kindness. The is no place like the Squeeze; either to eat at the counter, or grow-up behind the counter.
If you have never been to Squeeze Inn...you MUST try it. It may be crowded inside, but there is plenty of seating out back. The Squeeze with Cheese is the burger to top. I have never found a better burger joint!
Although I have to agree with the previous review about the "Squeeze In" being small, the burgers were awesome. I've never actually had a cheese skirt and am still having a craving the day after. The burgers were superb, service awesome. I had a birthday party for my brother there with about 15 people (since it's his favorite lunch spot) and he loved it. They were super friendly and let us ta...
The cheeseburger actually has a halo of cheese around it- never seen anything like it before- have to see it to believe it. The atmosphere is very cozy, as the name suggests- just a counter with 10 stools with the grill on the other side. The smallest burger shack I've seen. The server and cook are very friendly and usually chit-chat with customers. Fries are good and the Taco was quite yum too. ...
Take a great burger with melted, crispy cheese and great fries or the steak taco's with great fries, its all about the attitude that puts the Squeeze over the top. Ruth ran the sweat shop for years and seemed to know everyone by name, moved away and another young couple took over but the dedication is the same. Quantity, quallity and honest hard work to provide great service is simply admirable...
You will never have a cheeseburger like the one you get from the Squeeze Inn. It's huge and the cheese is a plentiful. Service is great and burgers are fantastic. It's a rare, hole in the wall place that is a must try for anyone who enjoys a good burger. Everything is made to order, right in front of you. They also have tacos, sandwiches and even a veggie burger. My favorite is a cheese burger wi...
If you're out and about,
and in that mood
then squeeze in, pig out,
and savor the food.
I'm a huge fan of the good burger, from the In-n-outs of the fast food realms to the greasy spoons, and this burger is down and out THE BEST BURGER i've ever eaten. The fries are great too. For added variety (for those that cant live on burgers alone) have the chicken tacos, or the chili (and ask for the he-man). My biggest regret moving away from Sacramento, is that i dont have the Squeeze In...
The Squeeze burger is the best burger that I have ever tasted in the whole world. No exaggeration. Try the chili and fries too.
