Great service and atmosphere… a classic Iowa diner elevated by a great ambiance (ephemera from Iowan political history for us poli sci dorks!).

An old school dinner. Food is ok but I guess the atmosphere is why everyone comes here for.

A classic diner style restaurant that has been semi updated but still keeps its classic charm. Delicious shakes that they put an entire slice of pie into, so if you're full from your meal I would recommend sharing. A fun stop!

The fried chicken, reuben, breakfast burrito...all very tasty. The French silk pie? Oh my goodness it is divine!!! *I just found out about another perk at the Hamburg! On Wednesdays there is a special on their hamburger baskets - they are around $7! The burgers are huge and it comes with a side of fries and other side options. The onion rings are an extra $3 but totally worth it. I ordered 3 hamburger baskest and 2 of them had onion rings added and the total before tip was around $27. Amazing deal on delicious food!*

We were out of town guests, and they made us feel welcome!!! The food was amazing!!! My daughter and cousin have Celiac, and they were very knowledgeable about cross contamination. They double checked everything to make sure they were safe!!! Thank you so much for treating us like part of your family!!!! Will definitely eat here again next time we're in town!!! There is also a presidential table that has a story to go with it.

The service was amazing. Super friendly staff, they took special precautions for my daughter (gluten allergy) so she could enjoy the dinner. Lots of historical political pictures from past primary candidates and presidents. The milkshakes are delicious, and of course the burgers. Trust me, add bacon, it's probably the best restaurant ordered bacon I've ever had. Oh and if you want breakfast, it's served all day. Beware the pancakes are HUGE!

I loved the vibe of this place. The french fries were sooo good! I ordered the pork tenderloin sandwich and it was flavorless. If you like the pork tenderloin sandwiches at the Iowa State Fair, this one looks similar but is not nearly as good. That said, I could tell I just chose poorly. This place is busy and well-known and if I am ever in town again, I'll definitely go here and order something else. One thing I would like to note is that I was with an elderly person who needs a walker. Instead of seating us at an empty table that had a clear path to the door, we were sat in the back and it was a bit of a gauntlet maneuvering through the crowded, tight space.
Great place, food, and service. The sandwiches are delicious.

Parked and went with a couple of friends to shop for 45 minutes planning to eat lunch at Hamburg after, walked back and saw my car was towed by the owner before even sitting down to eat! Sad to see an Iowa city institution go downhill as a resident for 26 years.

If you want a good smash burger, you can’t go wrong here. Great “Diner” atmosphere and service. Fries were shook out of a bag, but you can’t have it all. The chocolate shake was perfect along with the rest of it served in the metal mixer cup. Next time through, we will try the all the day breakfast. Side note, saw a review criticizing the burgers. The reviewer obviously isn’t familiar with the smash burger style.
Excellent service and food!
