Things aren’t always what they seem. Take the Hamburger Station, for example. At first glance you might mistake it for a service station – and that’s no coincidence. It used to be one. However, its years as a service station are long gone. Now, it’s a restaurant with a reputation for serving some of the best burgers in the country.
Located in Paragould, the Hamburger Station is a local landmark known for its unique setting and signature burgers, which are lovingly referred to as humburgers.
Originally the Texaco Station No. 1, it was built in 1925! In 2001, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places, as it’s one of only two surviving early gas stations in Paragould.
The palate-pleasing menu also includes sides that are just as enticing as the burgers. Choose from several types of fries, onion rings, tater tots, and tater balls (tater tots with cheddar cheese inside).
Remember, Hamburger Station is an old-fashioned dairy bar, so orders are placed at a walk-up window. Also, there’s no indoor dining. There are a few picnic tables, though, so you can enjoy your grub on site.
And whether you’re a repeat customer or a first-timer, you’ll see a friendly face when you visit the Hamburger Station – so make sure to have a camera handy.
For more information, call Hamburger Station at (870) 239-9956. And make sure to like the Hamburger Station on Facebook.
