About Burger Time

Burger Time at 661 W 16th St in Merced, California, is the kind of local restaurant that feels simple in the best way. It has that old-school hamburger stand vibe, where the menu is familiar, the service feels friendly, and the food is made for people who enjoy classic comfort meals without too much fuss.

The main draw here is, of course, the burgers. Diners often talk about the fresh, satisfying taste, especially when the burger comes hot off the grill with melted cheese, crisp toppings, and a soft bun that holds everything together. It is the type of place where a cheeseburger still feels like a proper meal, not just something grabbed in a hurry.

Two menu favorites get a lot of attention: the Pastrami Burger and the Texas Bacon Cheeseburger. The Pastrami Burger brings a richer, meatier bite, making it a good pick for anyone who wants something beyond a regular hamburger. Meanwhile, the Texas Bacon Cheeseburger is bigger, bolder, and packed with smoky flavor from the bacon. It is the kind of burger that works well when you are seriously hungry.

Burger Time also serves hotdogs, which fit right into the casual stand-style menu. They are easy, quick, and satisfying, especially for anyone who wants something classic but lighter than a stacked burger. Add fries or a shake, and it becomes a full comfort food stop.

Speaking of shakes, this spot also has a sweet side. The ice cream and shakes add to the nostalgic feel, giving Burger Time that classic burger-and-dessert combo many people still love. A cold shake with a fresh burger is simple, but it works every time.

The atmosphere is casual and clean, which matters when you are stopping in for a quick lunch, dinner, or snack. Guests often mention that the staff are friendly, which adds to the neighborhood feel. It does not try to be fancy, and that is part of the charm. Instead, Burger Time focuses on familiar food, fast comfort, and a welcoming experience.

For people around Merced looking for a relaxed burger joint, Burger Time is a solid stop. It works for a quick bite, a casual meal with family, or a simple craving for burgers, hotdogs, shakes, and ice cream served with an old-school touch.

  • Burgers, fries and ice cream is delicious every time I buy for the family. Burgers are so juice, fries are nice crispy and to finish it off ice cream cone is so good. Customer service is very friendly and polite. Definitely be back again.

  • A vintage style diner. Clean interior dining, I ordered a chocolate malt and onion rings to go. It was prepared quickly and the onion rings were done perfectly. A side of house dressing was included with the generous serving of onion rings. I usually enjoy my onion rings plain, but this time dipped every one. The large malt was more like a shake, both the chocolate and malt flavors fairly delicate, and I do prefer intense on both. But it hit the spot and I enjoyed both. Had a family of four enter ahead of me and encouraged me to order ahead of them as they were still deciding, which was much appreciated as I was driving back to Sacramento and getting my food to go. I'll swing by again to try a burger next time!

  • Best burger place in town. If you remember what old fashioned burger places were like (Fosters Freeze and the like), this place brings you back. Chili cheese fries... cheese sticks.... Corn dogs... fried okra! Seriously, fun and awesome food. And milk shakes! And soft serve cones!

  • These burgers are pretty good! I have to say I'm not impressed with the location, so next time I'll likely do the drive-though option. They have seating inside as well as patio. We came later in the evening and sat inside, there were two regular booths and a couple of... half booths? This could have definitely been planned out better. We got the western burger and pastrami burger, both were good and we ate the entire thing even though they were huge. The fries were alright, I'll try the onion rings next time. I absolutely loved the banana shake, I'll go back just for that. The best part about this spot was the service, the girl that helped us was very sweet with absolutely everyone, and treated everyone that came in with the same level of respect and a smile. There were a total of 3 employees that I saw and they got everything done quickly even with a never ending drive-though line and inside customers.
