Just Hamburgers - Paxton, Illinois

What can I say? This place is a classic! I remember going here for the first time back in 2003 & hamburgers were .65 cents and cheeseburgers were .80 cents. The patties were paper thin & so delicious. My last time there was a year or so ago & while prices and quality are not the same as they used to be. It’s still a central Illinois gem that y’all should feel lucky to have

This was the 1st time I have ever been here. They had a chicken sandwich combo as their special that day. My sandwich was nothing more but a chicken patty on a smashed bun. Nothing else on it. I received a TON of fries, no complaints there!! No indoor seating if you plan on stopping by. My SO had the double cheeseburger and said it was pretty good!! The cost for both of us to eat from there was around $15. Definitely a good price for a meal these days, but I didn't think the food was anything to write home about.

The wife and I stopped in for a quick meal. We both had double cheeseburgers with everything and and chocolate shakes. Unfortunately everything we ate we belched both of us, the fries were barely lukewarm. And the hamburgers just don't taste like they used to I will not be going back anytime soon

Technically, it's not just hamburgers - there's a lot more on the menu. It was a hot day and I was delirious, so I forgot the other items.

I don't get the other reviews that say this place is expensive: just try to get a burger, fries and drink anywhere else for less. Go ahead, let me know if you do.

That said, these are thin patties, so get the double patty version. Lettuce and tomato were .50 cents extra. Nothing spectacular, just a basic burger, fries were delightfully crispy.

Carryout only, no drive-up. They do have some picnic tables in shade outside.

Great price for a good burger. Got the $4 double bacon cheeseburger and it was wonderful. Fries for a buck helps too. My wife and I shared the taco salad on Mexican night. The dough was a little undercooked on the bottom, but okay. Burgers are the definite purchase. Pretty reasonable price

Okay, just to preface what I say, i think of this place more like it's original might have been, given the advertising. So, 70's fries were crinkle cut. The fries i had were not, so i was disappointed by that, but not their fault. They were, however, very "McDonald's".
I had higher hopes for the burger too. I asked for a toasted bun. I was told they are toasted. I don't think we have the same thing in mind when it comes to toasting. I expect to see some color of brown involved if bread has been toasted. The bun was warm but there was no evidence that it was toasted. I asked for tomato and had one very small slice that covered about a third of the burger. That totally misses the mark for me. The lettuce was soggy and wilted. I ended up pulling that back off because it tasted unpleasant. I also asked for mayonnaise. While I did not like the brand of mayonnaise they used, I did appreciate that they used it in a reasonable measure and it wasn't squishing out every time I touched my burger. Their hamburger patties are thin. I ordered a double and considered it just a reasonable amount of meat. Overall, my burger was just okay. I won't order the fries from them again. Having said that, I do plan to go back but probably not often.
I was there just before they opened at 4:00 p.m. Other people showed up just before they opened so you might want to form a line. The girl that waited on me was very pleasant. I didn't have any contact with the kitchen staff but they are somewhat visible. From what I could see and from the time that it took to get my order ready, I can conclude that they are pretty efficient. Not fast but that's okay because it's fresh. There is no indoor seating. There is an area that I wish they would put a bench in so that people have a place to wait. Some of the interior is really outdated but it's clean.

I have not been to just hamburgers in a very long time and we stopped this last week and got three burgers and two orders of fries and it was the driest, coldest, buns smashed, burgers and fries I’ve ever had. Everything tasted like it had been sitting out for days, really disappointing,
