I ordered the bacon burger with cheddar cheese and no lettuce. The burger tasted like it came from a box or maybe one of the 1/3 lb sleeves from Costco. Given the old school roadside look, I expected a handmade patty.
I liked the soft brioche bun after the first few bites. I thought it was steamed, but it got rubbery towards the end which suggests that it may have been microwaved.
Their special sauce of mayo, mustard, and relish was a unique addition to the bottom of the burger.
The sack of fries for $4.99 is large enough to share. The fries were fresh crinkle cut, but they tasted like frozen fries that came out of a food service bag. I would have expected hand cut fries from a classic hamburger place..
The signs say they have been open since 1948. I am sure many of the people who come to HH return for the sentimental value as they have been open nearly 80 years. Sometime since then they began taking the shortcut, preparing burgers from a box and fries from the freezer.
If you are coming here for the first time, you should go to a local bar or someplace that makes handmade burgers. Even Culver’s up the street would be a better value than the almost $20 that I paid for a Costco-quality burger and fries.
As I write this review in the parking lot, I saw three or four groups of people return to their vehicles with ice cream or milkshakes. Maybe this is a dessert place that also sells burgers. I will try a shake next time!

Burger heaven?
Gurl bye. This food took me straight to the pits of hell.
This was overpriced and mediocre. I got the Big cheeseburger with bacon, and a root beer to drink. I was a little shocked that my root beer came without ice and was flat as all get out. Burger Heaven has the unmitigated gall to hype this root beer up.
My Bf ordered a Hamburger with a coke and his drink was flat also. I am not sure why they serve warm drinks without ice.
You have GOT TO BE KIDDING ME. I was so excited for this place. 15 bucks for a flat soda and school cafeteria tasting burger is crazy work. The only real flavor the burger had was from the ketchup.
I passed up Portillo’s for this mess.
They should’ve paid me to eat this. No one in my group cared for their burger.
Never again.

Burger place that resembles an old dairy queen stand with outdoor ordering and seating. The menu looked good with some craft style burgers. I had the York st burger that had bacon, onion, chili and cheese. What a mess. Very difficult to eat with everything sliding off the bun each bite. The burger seemed good but the chili was flavorless and disappointing. I picked this specifically for a chili flavor and this had none. The fries were average crinkle cut and good. I will give them a chance again because I felt that the burger might have been better if not for the chili and beans.

At Hamburger Heaven, a timeless stand,
A taste of old-school, simply grand.
A window’s call, a paper sack,
With flavors strong, no taste they lack.
The burgers, seasoned, bold, and bright,
With toppings crisp—a perfect bite.
The fries, so golden, crisp, and light,
A side that truly brings delight.
No bargain bites, but fair, well-priced,
For quality, it’s worth the slice.
A busy corner, cars rush past,
Yet here, the moments seem to last.
No fear, no fuss, just food done right,
A roadside gem, a classic sight.

The place is small but have a nice patio. The food was good. My son order a cheeseburger and I get a Chicago hotdog. It was really good.

Hamburger Heaven has always been good to me. From the juicy cheeseburgers to the classic grilled cheese and refreshing ice cream, everything always hits the spot. One of my favorite moments was when the staff suggested adding bacon to my grilled cheese—total game changer! I’ll never go back to a plain sandwich again.
I also love that I recognize the cook—it adds a personal touch and gives me confidence that my food will be cooked to perfection every time. The staff is always kind, smiling, and welcoming, which makes each visit even better.
Thanks for making every meal memorable and delicious!

It was good and a classic.
Is it over priced? Yes and no.
Most stands have hot dogs and fries for $5.
Hamburger heaven? $5 plus tax each.
Got a Chicago dog and since fries are extra I got breaded mushrooms. The dig was good. The breaded mushrooms wee hot and got 12 breaded shrooms in my order. Ranch dressing bag was .50¢ extra. No cup for ranch? Oh well. Had to eat in the parking lot. I didn’t want to chance getting a giant ranch packet everywhere.
Was it good?
Yes.
Was it fresh? Yes!
Is it a must stop for eating on the go? No.
If I’m in the area I might stop again.
2:00pm on a weekday not busy.
Love the old school look!

Seeing the reviews, I had to make one myself. The “lol gurl bye” post was on point! Not only have I had better burgers with more flavor, I’ve also had better root beer! Their root beer is not very root beery and it’s very soft and bland with next to no little root beer flavor at all. Very high priced.
