A Squeeze with Cheese, sadly the cheese halo had separated

Squeeze Inn is one of Sacramento's premier greasy spoon diners. Its name is derived from its 450 square foot location, in which not more than a dozen diners can fit. It consists entirely of a tiny waiting area, a bar that can hold a dozen, and the kitchen.

The signature menu item is the Squeezeburger, a 1/3 lb. pattie with mayo, mustard, tomato, lettuce, pickles and onion on a sesame seed bun, for $4.80. Adding cheese is another $1.00. The "Squeeze with cheese" comes with a slice of cheese, as well as a large crust of burnt cheese that's half a meal in itself.

The wait can be as long as 45 minutes during lunch. Since being featured on the Food Network, burger enthusiasts visit from as far away as the east coast.

Also on the menu are tacos, pigs in a blanket, turkey breast, and even veggie burgers. Fries, which are sliced unskinned potatoes, go for $2.25 and $2.50 for small and large sizes respectively.

Tank-tops with the motto "Best Burger in Town" can be bought for $15 apiece, and comes in light blue or pink, and L or XL sizes.

Parking is as scarce as sitting room. The neighboring businesses aren't too shy about towing Squeeze customers who park in the wrong lot.

Owner Travis Hausauer has said he plans to open locations in Galt and Napa.
