About the Food:

  • Q:  What is this unique cooking method I have heard about?
    A:  Our famous squeeze with cheese is made in a unique way. After cooking the patty on a flat top grill we cover it with a handful of cheese and the top of the bun before throwing a handful of ice chips on the grill and covering the whole thing is a hood.  The skirt comes out perfectly.
  • Q:  Where did the unique cooking method come from?
    A:  It was invented by the previous owners and handed down to our cooks when the restaurant was purchased.
  • Q:  I have never been to the Squeeze Inn. What would you recommend I order?
    A:  If it is your first time at the Squeeze Inn you must get the squeeze with cheese and fries.  You can try all our other menu items on your next visit.
  • Q:  What kind of ingredients do you use in your food?
    A:  All of our ingredients are fresh and of the highest quality.  Everything we put on the burger is just as important as the burger itself.
  • Q:  What if I don't like Burgers?
    A:  We have other menu items such as a teriyaki sandwich, tacos, and even hot dogs.  Check out our menu and see what you like.
  • Q:  What if I am a Vegetarian?
    A:  No problem, we offer a veggie burger.  Our Galt location also has a salad option.
  • Q:  Is my food cooked to order?
    A:  Absolutely,  we cook everything to order exactly how you want it.  It goes from the grill to you bubbling hot.
  • Q:  How long of a wait is it to get food?
    A:  The wait time varies depending on the time of day.  During lunch rush an hour wait is not uncommon, and we squeeze in a lot of people.  The food is defiantly worth it through.  Also, our Galt location tends to have less wait as it is a little bigger.
  • Q:  Can I call ahead to place my order?
    A:  Yes.  The phone numbers are available on the left side of the site.
  • Q:  I tried to call during business hours but the phone was never answered.
    A:  It just means we are really busy and the staff cannot get to the phone right away. Keep trying.
  • Q:  Can I fax or e-mail in my order?
    A:  At this time we cannot accept fax or e-mail orders.  This is something that may be available in the future.
  • Q:  Do you serve alcohol?
    A:  No we do not.  We are a fun family restaurant and feel alcohol would take away from that atmosphere.
  • Q:  Do you serve breakfast?
    A:  Our Galt location does serve breakfast starting at 7am.
  • Q:  Do you offer a Kids menu?
    A:  Our Galt location offers a Kids menu with smaller portions and crayons for coloring.  The Sacramento location also has some items perfect for our younger customers.
