Hamburger Station

"Last time I tried Hamburger Station, it was quite ok. Nothing special but an easy option that I was looking forward to treating my family to since they haven't tried it. We had some extra flow so I ordered for take out and bought the family pack. Nothing wrong with the service. Fries were good. Soggy but enjoyably so. Onion rings were a hit, especially with my young daughter. No complaints there at all. However, upon the first bite of my burger I thought my sense of taste went haywire. Had to figure out where this rancid taste came from. Luckily it was NOT the meat. Thought it may have been but we figured out it was the onions. I'm an onion guy. Love 'em. They can do no wrong. Unless they're bad. They tasted like they were doused in vinegar, sans the vinegar. It must not have been all the onions but enough to be mixed in with the entirety of their lot. Ruined the meal and my appetite completely. But I'm not one to go make demands or waste food or go hungry if I can help it so I ended up eating just the patties, like a savage. But come on. Money is so tight these days and we rarely go out. And we just keep getting burned when we occasionally do! We love supporting local places, especially being new Ohioans. But we have just about given up, and this experience was the final straw. Won't be back. Won't suggest people go there. We will unfortunately only suggest and patronize the few chains that insist on consistency and good service. Those being the likes of Chick-fil-A and Cane's. Honestly never had a bad experience with those places. Going anywhere else, even local places is a huge gamble and I'm tired of losing. Wish I could tell family and friends that Akron has a great food scene but this place and so many others live down to the reputation of Akron in general."

"Hamburger Station is iconic. I grew up with this, my dad grew up with this, and so did my grandfather. Nothing beats those juicy burgers and fries and onion rings in that satisfying box. If Hamburger Station were to ever close its doors, I'm not sure what I would do. This is something that my children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, and great-great grandchildren must experience."

"The food I ate here today was the most disgusting an unappealing thing I think I have ever eaten in my life. I had one slider and 2 breaded mushrooms and I feel like I’m gonna puke. The burgers were DRY and tasted like nothing, and the mushrooms looked and tasted nasty. 1 star for the root beer I got though, that was pretty good."

"Staff was friendly. Burgers were good. Fries were pathetic. They gave me the "bottom of the bag" and didn't think twice about it. As I walked out, I wondered if I should contact the health department. The restaurant inside is definitely not clean, nor does it appear to have been cleaned in the last few years. Such a shame because I love the food."

"This place is awesome. It's an old school hamburger station that's still up amd running. Has the old school buyer Joint vibe. They have amazing onion rings and burgers and fries. They have gluten free options as well just ask for no bun. They love onions and so do I so ask for extra."
