We have been wanting to try this bar for over a year now and I’m so happy we finally did! They were always so busy, and now we understand why. Staff was super nice and efficient as heck with how many people they have to serve. The burgers were SO GOOD. We can’t wait to go back and try some different kinds on our next date night. Also so affordable?? 11/10, can’t recommend it enough ((:

My wife and I were downtown for a Christmas event and decided to have a lunch date beforehand. We had not been a fan of the downtown atmosphere in the past. Wow, did Home Burger Bar change our minds on that! The staff was very friendly and chatty with all of the customers, they had great attitudes! They have a local beers menu so we were kinda into that and they were tasty! The burgers my wife and I had were absolutely amazing! I normally order mine medium and was told the staff cooks all the way through so no pink in the middle, I thought to myself, well this ought to be fun… Well it was juicy and delicious, I was 100% wrong! The pretzel bun was another thing, I’ve normally had hard, dry pretzel buns at other restaurants so was a bit apprehensive when I saw the burgers were served on pretzel buns. Oh my, the bun was soft and full of flavor! We will be back and hope this helps others in deciding on a great burger joint with local beers and amazing atmosphere!

Home of the Burgers absolutely lives up to its name. The burgers are juicy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly every time. You can taste that true old-school diner quality in every bite.
One big plus, they add green onions on the burger, and it makes such a difference. That fresh, slightly sharp flavor cuts through the richness and gives it a unique twist you don’t see everywhere. It’s a small detail, but it really sets them apart.
The fries were hot and crispy, service was friendly and fast, and the whole place has that nostalgic, hometown vibe that makes you want to come back again and again.
If you’re craving a classic burger done right, this is the spot. Definitely 5 stars.

I really wanted to like this place, but the experience was disappointing. We were told the food would take about 30–35 minutes. After ordering at 7pm, we didn’t get our food until around 8:35pm. When I asked about the delay, the bartender admitted she had been wrong about the wait time — then proceeded to “explain how a grill works” to me because their grill is small. The explanation came off as condescending and unnecessary.
While she did comp our drinks, that didn’t make up for the poor communication and long wait. If we’d been given an honest estimate upfront, we would have gone somewhere else. Transparency and respect go a long way — unfortunately, we didn’t feel either here.
They were able to put our food to-go as requested. Unfortunately I had to ask the status of our food after the 1 hour 20 mark. Picture for reference of our cold, mediocre food that we waiting almost triple the original wait time.

Omg this place is amazing. The staff are extremely friendly. I tried the pb&j burger with truffle fries and it was great. My son got the basic 1/4 hot dog and garlic cheese curds and could barely finish it all. The prices are very affordable. Will be going back

Angry Badger was absolutely delicious my only critique is to add pickles. Fries were hot and crispy and the Garlic Cheese Curds were delicious.
Staff was friendly and helpful.

I have revised my original review; I felt it was necessary.
Both my friend and I stopped here for lunch because we had heard good things about their burgers. Unfortunately, both of us were very disappointed. The menu claims that the burgers are 1/3 pound, but they are maybe 1/4 at best; I would compare them more to smash patties. Both of us ordered medium burgers and they both came out well done. The burgers were low-quality frozen patties; unseasoned and flavorless. Most other places that serve good burgers in Appleton use fresh hamburgers. Apparently, this place can’t be bothered, they can’t afford it, or they simply don’t care. Our other biggest complaint would be that they don’t include a side with their burgers; fries are not very expensive and, at the very least, they should be an included side. The owner, a very mean and disrespectful woman, said most of their customers don’t want a side, so they don’t include a side because they don’t want to waste food. How exactly are they wasting food if they include a side for those who want a side and withhold a side for those who don’t? At least include fries as a side option for those who want them; nothing is wasted. Her reasoning for not including a side makes absolutely no sense. let’s be honest, they don’t include a side because they want to charge you more money. $11 for a frozen burger with no side is ridiculous.
I ordered the Beer Dip Badger burger; smashed fried cheese curds, homemade spotted cow beer dip, crispy onion strips, and a pretzel bun. The toppings I received were minimal; three very small onion strips, a few smashed cheese curds, and a sauce that tasted like store-bought thousand island dressings. I was unimpressed.
The owner responded to my original review, as I’m sure she will respond to this one, and was extremely hostile and insulting. She basically told me I had no taste and that she was okay with me not being a future customer; the audacity that I would leave a review saying that I did not like my burger. How dare I. She claimed that her burgers were not your average run-of-the-mill burgers and “Look at all the toppings you received”, as if toppings are what make a quality burger. I can name a dozen other burger joints in Appleton that have better burgers than the one I had here. I think she is a little full of herself.
I had no plans to ever return, but after dealing with the owner, I wouldn’t even consider returning. I will, however, make it a point to let everyone I know or meet in the future not to eat here.
And P.S. I love Culver’s. They have better burgers than this place does.

Home Burger Bar is a cool place that slings inventive burgers in addition to the basics. They do the same thing with hot dogs, too. Can’t wait to try another. If you try one as well, I’m pretty sure what you’ll say, “Now, that’s a tasty burger…” Bomb curds and friendly folks, too.

Overall positive experience. We got a burger with beer cheese, cheese curds, onion tanglers, and a pretzel bun. We also got their french fries and cheese curds.
The burger was really good. The beer cheese was unique. I always appreciate a good beer cheese. Onion tanglers were not great.
French fries nice and crispy. Perfect amount of seasoning.
Cheese curds were good, nothing spectacular but good.
The service was quick and friendly, especially since the place was pretty packed. I think one table maybe two was empty. And it seemed only one server/waitress. They did a really good job!
The prices are super affordable! My significant other and I split a meal and an appetizer and we couldnt even finish everything. Not much was left but still plenty of food for both of us. Would go back to try other burgers.

Food is amazing!!! However they like close on random days for random reasons. Also they change their minds on whether or not they feel like doing order for pick up!! WARNING: hours of operation are optional, and if want to place an order hopefully they feel like doing it.. When they decide they want to make money everything is phenomenal!!! Staff, food, and atmosphere!!
