Used to be good. Now they cook the meat into a hockey puck and charge an arm and a leg. Really rude as well. Will never go again. This place sucks, don’t believe the AI reviews.

George’s Giant Hamburger is hands down one of the best burger spots in town! The burgers are always fresh, juicy, and packed with flavor exactly what you want when you’re craving a classic, done-right burger. The fries are crispy and golden, and everything tastes homemade with real care put into it.
What makes this place extra special, though, is the owner. George is one of the kindest and most genuine people you’ll ever meet. He goes out of his way to greet everyone with a smile, makes sure his customers feel welcome, and you can tell he truly takes pride in both his food and his service. It’s rare to find an owner so involved and so dedicated to creating such a positive experience.
If you’re looking for not just a great meal but also a place that feels warm and inviting, George’s Giant Hamburger is the spot. Amazing food, amazing people I can’t recommend it enough!

George’s Giant Hamburger is the definition of a neighborhood gem. I ordered the bulgogi fries — packed with flavor and topped with tender, fresh beef — and a classic cheeseburger. The burger was juicy and perfectly balanced, not oversalted like you find at other spots.

The staff are incredibly friendly, and you can tell it’s a true family-owned place. Photos of their son line the wall, and it’s clear that generations of locals have made this their go-to spot. Even while I was there, the cooks knew nearly every customer by name (one of them was even the owner of Evergood Sausage).

If you’re looking for a casual, welcoming spot with consistently great food, this is it.

Best Burger ever!!

Burgers were decent size. It was good. All tho I felt the meat could have been seasoned better. Taste like it wasn't seasoned at all. Overall, it was good, and I was starving. The setup was nice. Family old school burger joint feel.

Hamburgers here are amazing!

Everything I had exceeded my expectation including curly fries. Bulgogi burger was intriguing but I had to try classic cheeseburger also.

Both were SO GOOD. Cheeseburger was rich, smoky, cheesy goodness with drizzling au jus just about every bite. And bulgogi burger… omg it is amazing. The sweet sautéed onion and then meaty saltiness with crunchy French roll. I took so many bites and wanted more. It’s pretty good sized burger too. I normally leave some buns when I eat burgers or sandwiches, but bun to meat ratio was on point.

Also, I couldn’t help but notice how spanking clean this place is despite looking nostalgic old school establishment. Tables, countertops, salt and pepper shakers, floor, chairs, ketchup spouts, etc all clean. No stickiness, no dust, no dried sauce.

Full of locals, attentive and personal service to everyone dining here. I’m not a local here but it’s worth coming back for.

Thoroughly enjoyed it.

George’s is a small slice of what you enjoyed as a kid. Great people work there along with the owners. We went with my nephew who just graduated HS and they presented him a gift card as a congratulations. That is a place that needs to continue! I have been going there since I was a kid, I live in Florida but always get a burger at George’s when I am in town.
