Hello Steve,Click on "Post a Comment" below, if you'd like to share your memories of this place.
I am actually from the United Kingdom, and did not ever live in Orange County, but I did holiday in Anaheim 3 times a year from 1972 - early 1980's, my father worked for TWA at the time in London. I have very very fond memories of Anaheim and the surrounding area, particularly my birthday meal each year which took place at The Hamburger House which I think may have been on the corner of Harbour & Katella. I believe that it has now gone, but just wondered if anyone else remembers this little restaurant, it was the first place that I ever tasted canteloupe melon, pancakes etc, we did not eat these things in the UK back in the 70s.
Very best wishes
Joanne from Hampshire, England

The Hamburger House - Anaheim
Joanne, who reads OCThen from across the pond in England, wants to know if anyone can share some memories of eating at The Hamburger House, a favorite place of hers when she used to vacation in Anaheim...
funny you mentioned the Hamburger House. I was just thinking about it this last week! I did an internet search and here is your entry. I remember eating there in the mid & late 70's. They had the best barbeque burgers in the world. If memory serves me, they char-broiled a huge burger and drowned it in barbeque sauce. I wish it was still there.

I worked there when it changed from Oscar's to Hamburger House and Bob was one of the reasons I became fairly sucessful. He was my favorite boss and always very fair.
ReplyDeleteMy father Jose Gonzales and mother Gloria worked at the Hamburger House I have many great memories of the place and would regularly visit with my parents.
ReplyDeleteMy parents Jose & Gloria Gonzales worked at The Hamburger House for most of the 80's. I have many great memories of the place. There's a basic strip mall where the location once stood but I still vividly remember the structure in former glory.
