After seeing Squeeze Inn on Guy Fieri's Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives, I knew that if I was ever in the area, I would have to try one of their burgers. While the original Squeeze Inn was converted from an entrance way to a waffle house and therefore is very small, the newer locations look like typical fast food joints. The original location fits 12 patrons, but there are now many locations including Midtown, Roseville, Tracy, Napa, Vacaville, and more. Homage to the first location is made by showing facade of the original orange house.
A board showing the menu items is on the wall right next to the counter where you order.
- Squeezecheese - Known as the 'best burger in town,' the squeezecheese is unique. The skirt is called that for a reason - cheese is melted over 1/3 pound of hamburger and you can see from the photo that the cheese is the size of a dinner plate. Mayo, mustard, lettuce, tomato, pickles, and onion come with the burger which is placed on a sesame seed bun. I enjoyed how all of the vegetables were very fresh, but the skirt is really impressive - eat it alone or fold it and eat it with the burger. The chewy cheesy consistency is delicious if you're a cheese lover, just slightly browned on the bottom giving that extra flavor and crispiness on the edges. One of a kind! And for those with smaller appetites, one burger is definitely enough for two. $6.99
- Sweet Potato Fries - I loved these thick cut fries. At some restaurants, you'll find skinny fries, but these are super meaty and chunky. A small order is very generous as you can see from the photo. Served with ranch dressing a green aioli - yum. Small $3.59, Large $4.29
In case you don't like cheese, a regular squeeze burger is available too. A 1/4 pound burger is also available, and depending on the day, you'll even find tacos on the specials menu.
The decor is very local and respects Sacramento's finest - t-shirts of local law enforcement and such. It's spacious and clean and easily accessible in terms of parking too.
I also appreciated how someone came around to check on us after we had ordered and received our food.
Squeeze Inn is definitely worth checking out if you love cheese or a juicy burger.
