Pete's Hamburger Stand

While I do love these burgers, they have an incredibly frustrating and confusing way of dealing with customers. when they are making the burgers... they allow a line to form of roughly 20 people while they sit there and cook burgers that haven 't been ordered yet... during that time, they do not acknowledge anyone in line or give any sort of inference to the amount of time it will be until any of the burgers are ready... standing in line you hear people mumbling... what 's going on here? then you hear people asking each other have you ordered yet? To which the answer is almost always no . So then it turns into an even bigger group of people. all confused why no one has acknowledged them... Even the person at the front of the line is confused, as the workers inside just walk around as if no one is waiting... this results in a lot of people angrily simply walking away while shaking their head as they are both frustrated and confused about whether or not this stand actually sells the hamburgers or simply stands there, cooking them all day and then dumping them in the trash. Great food if you are able to get any.. very poor execution of sale

If you want a amazing burger come here. Only open a short time of the year during the summer. Burgers are moist and juicy. Wonderful taste with onions on top or not.

We were traveling through town on 5.3.24 a little after 11:00 opening and the first batch was about sold out. A short wait for the next batch, but we were able to watch them cook it all, just like at the state fairs. We were able to talk to the head chef, dish washer, and direction giver for the tourists.Well worth the wait and conversations with those of us waiting.I wouldn’t call it a boiled burger more of a hybrid between flat top grilled like in the old diners made and White Castle/Alpine Burgers but much larger (1/4-1/3 lbs before cooking is my guess) but without the holes.

It must be the history that people enjoy because the burger was bland on taste. It is neat place but the 2 burgers and 2 waters we bought definitely wasn't worth the $15 we spent. I get it's a no frills place, but a little salt and pepper for some kind of taste would be nice. It literally tastes like a burger patty that you just threw in a frying pan at home with absolutely no seasoning, added a cup of water, then boiled it till it was gray all the way through Cool history, burger.

Get your burgers fast with great conversation with the workers.
