Hambys shows promise, but there’s room for refinement—especially considering the premium pricing. Quality and presentation should be front and center.
Order Experience:
We placed a to-go order for a Single, Double, and Triple burger, along with three orders of fries. The wait time was reasonable at 11 minutes.
Food Quality:
The fries were freshly cut, which is a plus, but they arrived slightly overcooked. As for the burgers, the flavor landed somewhere between Sonic and TPerry’s—not bad, but not standout either. Unfortunately, the presentation missed the mark. The burgers were assembled sloppily and lacked the clean, appetizing look you'd expect at this price point. Also worth noting: Hambys doesn’t offer combo meals—everything is à la carte, which adds up quickly.
Atmosphere:
The dining area was clean, but the lighting was dim and gave off a somewhat gloomy vibe. That said, the nostalgic 90s touches—pinball machines, an old payphone, and tube TVs—added character. With a bit more investment in lighting, the space could really shine and match the energy of its retro theme. They also has a brewery that was unique to the location.
Final Thoughts:
Despite the shortcomings in presentation, the food was cooked to order and tasted good. Hambys isn’t a go-to spot for me, but I’d return occasionally. Overall, I’d recommend it—with the caveat that the team should focus on tightening up execution and visual appeal to truly deliver on its potential.
