Needed a cheeseburger and it was too hot to cook tonight. My hubby threw out the Volcano Burger option and I agreed. Trying to get into the parking lot at 7:15pm was tricky. The cars in the drive thru block the entrance to the parking lot. They need a better system here! Parked on the street and walked up to the window to order. I was craving chili cheese fries so we agreed on an order to share. I got a cheeseburger, hubby got a colossal burger, thinking it was 3 patties. Order came pretty quick. Hubby was disappointed when he saw his burger. Not what he thought it would be. It had pastrami on it. One bite changed his mind! He was really loving it! My cheeseburger was delicious and the fries I said I’d share were mostly devoured by me! The chili had a nice spice to it and the fresh grated cheese was perfectly melted. We will be back but I hope they figure out their parking soon!

The milkshake and fries were REALLY good. The hot dog was OK. Fast service. Definitely intended more for takeout than dining in but still, the fries and milkshake were easily the best parts of the meal here. Bathrooms are gross and falling apart and sink continously trickles water in a little stream. Spigots in the back accessible for anyone. The noise from the street is very loud, and if there are screaming children inside the eating area it will be very loud from echoing. Anyway, its good for takeout.

My kids and I came across this local spot very randomly because they loved the name - Volcano Burger! We ordered many items on the menu - burgers, corn dogs, quesadillas. We all loved our food and enjoyed a great Sunday dinner.

Volcano Burgers has been around for years and is one of those comforting local burger joints. Food is consistent and delicious. I usually order the burgers with fries or onion rings but don't sleep on the rest of the menu. The menu is huge, so there's something for everyone, from American to Mexican fare. Service is friendly and the food is prepared promptly. The drive-thru is convenient, or you can dine in. There is plenty of seating inside and on the covered patio. Volcano will satisfy your appetite if you’re in the area craving some tasty grub. Prices have increased over the years, but the same is true for many businesses.

First visit to Volcano Burgers and it didn't disappoint. I got a turkey burger and added cheese and pickles, and an order of onion rings. The portions were huge! The burger was perfect. Everything was cooked fresh to order and piping hot. The staff was very accommodating in helping me make my order. Will definitely go back.

Food was moderately expensive. However, great portions, amazing staff and overall good experience. My fish died today, and this was the one place I would always take him on walks to. He will be missed, but damn is a delicious cheeseburger. I can always get a new fish, but there is only one volcano burger. Thank you and plz take into consideration.
