Most Disliked
Some patrons mention that Hamburger Stan currently only offers delivery or pickup, which can be inconvenient for those wishing to dine in at the restaurant.
A few reviews highlight the spicy level of dishes, which, while beloved by many, can be too intense for those not accustomed to heat. Patrons looking for milder options may find this a challenge.
On occasion, diners note a limited menu variety, as Hamburger Stan focuses on its core offerings rather than an extensive range of dishes. This places emphasis on quality over quantity, but some may seek more diversions.

I had to try Hamburger Stan’s because their Instagram Page is EPIC!! The burgers on IG are beautiful all gussied up!! They look like perfect. The burger was good but nothing compared to what was expecting from the pics online. The fries were really good and plentiful. When ordering online was not able to make my burger a combo or order a milkshake which it showed on the menu online. Ordering was only done online due to COVID. Budlong’s Chicken Sandwich is amazing BTW. This is more a review of Hamburger Stan.

I’m a concierge and will recommend this place for sandwiches. I have had it delivers to me before and the sandwich was so good. The sides are ok. The Banana pudding is was disappointing, tasted very fake.
