Willie's Burgers

Willie's Burgers is one of Sacramento's long-running burger stands, with a simple, nostalgic menu of burgers, fries and shakes. The chili cheeseburger is the local favorite, a messy, napkin-heavy order that has kept regulars coming back for decades.

The 16th Street location is the classic stop, and there is also a Willie's on K Street near Old Sacramento. It is a good late-night option and a reliable choice when you want a cheap, filling burger without any fuss. Bring an appetite and plenty of napkins, since the chili version gets messy fast.
