Best Burgers in and near Orangevale
When people argue about what makes a perfect burger, it all boils down to one’s preference. While some prioritize the beef’s flavor and fat-to-meat ratio, others argue the bun’s freshness and toppings are crucial.
Despite differences, all agree that an ideal burger has a seared patty, a toasted bun, and complementary toppings that enhance the beefy flavor. With this in mind, we have made a list of the best burgers in or near Orangevale, easily accessible for those living in mobile home parks in Sacramento, CA.
1. Crepes and Burgers
Although their 12 burgers are all great, we recommend starting with the crowd-favorite “Impossible Burger,” a flavorful vegetarian option.
But if you’re into something spicy, why not try the Habanero Burger, topped with Fiscalini habanero Jack cheese, apple-wood-smoked bacon, lettuce, tomato, and mayo. However, if you’re looking for something a bit milder, a good choice is the BJ Burger, which contains jalapeños, lettuce, cheddar, apple-wood-smoked bacon, tomato, and mayo.
In addition to a wide variety of burgers, the restaurant offers crepes, sandwiches, pasta, eggs, salads, soup, desserts, and a kids’ menu.

2. That Dam Place
The restaurant is known for its wide selection of sinful and hearty meals, ranging from Bavarian pretzels and crispy pork in Korean sauce to Cajun and Creole rice dishes and fusion sandwiches. However, the crowd’s favorite is their burger, especially the “Death Sentence,” which is made of two grilled 6-ounce burgers with mayo, tomato, beer cheese, bacon, lettuce, and fried onion rings—all held together by a brioche bun.
You may also want to try their vegetarian burger, “Good Behavior,” a grilled chipotle-black bean burger with lettuce, mayo, avocado, and tomato on a brioche bun.
Meanwhile, all their sandwiches and burgers are served with fries or salad. Or, if you’re really into a hearty meal, just add $2 to enjoy a side dish of salad of the week or onion rings.

3. Hot Off the Griddle
If you’re into the traditional taste, your best bet is their “Classic Cheeseburger,” with a perfect meat-and-fat ratio seared to perfection to lock in all the beefy goodness, or the “Applewood Bacon Cheeseburger,” which is the more sinful version.
Another interesting burger rendition is the “California Cheeseburger,” which perfectly combines avocado, mushroom, bacon, and jack cheese.
But for anyone who craves something spicy, “Chili Burger” is a must-try, with an open-faced beef patty topped with house-made chili, red and green onions, and cheddar cheese.

4. Samuel Horne’s Tavern
This local beer joint, located on Sutter Street in the Historic Old Town of Folsom, has become the local favorite thanks to its laid-back ambiance and a wide selection of draft and bottled beers.
While most of their patrons visit them because of their American craft beers, it doesn’t mean that their food, especially their burger “rendition,” is less worthy of their visit.
All their burgers have patties made of over 1/3 pound of hand-pressed, homemade Angus beef (FYI, never frozen) served with a generous portion of shoestring fries or tater tots. You may want to start with their bestseller, “Johnny Cash,” topped with cheddar, onion straws, bacon, and bourbon-espresso barbecue sauce.
Other must-try burgers are the “Quinoa Burger,” which has a quinoa garlic patty complemented by sun-dried tomatoes, feta cheese, onion, lettuce, and basil aioli; the “Veggie” Burger that uses brown rice as its patty; and “House Sliders” that have a pork-and-beef patty topped with crumbled bacon, cheddar, and basil aioli.

5. ROCK N FIRE
This unassuming restaurant is arguably one of the best venues for avid foodies in and around Orangevale, thanks to its wide variety of toppings and meat options. Diners can even create their own burger, pizza, or salad with multiple options for patties, cheese, buns, toppings, and condiments.
Despite the wide variety of their burger renditions, one thing is “consistent”–all their beef patties have this perfect blend of sirloin, chuck, and brisket to ensure an ideal meat-and-fat ratio.
And for those who want to deviate from the usual beef patty, there are delectable options like sushi-grade Ahi tuna, veggie burger, ground turkey, and grilled chicken breast.
