Handee Burger

Amazing steak and chicken biscuit. Crispy and fresh! The best I ever had. Great pit stop for those heading on I-​40 East or West. Customer service was great as well.

This place was just a humble country diner. The food was ok but I would almost give four stars for the staff! The staff here made sure we were happy and comfortable. I wanted a to go coffee and our waitress grabbed an extra large cup and filled it up! When we paid, the waitress at the cash register went ahead and got my husband a to go sprite and said «for the road». Very sweet people and will probably go back if I’m in the area.

I may be biased because I haven’t been to Kitrell’s Kitchen on Gallahar Rd. but Handee breakfast is the best in Kingston. By far better than any of the fast food places.

When you see a hometown burger joint that’s family owned, you expect homemade. That’s not the case at Handee Burger. The burger is a frozen patty (A very mediocre one), the fries are also frozen mediocre quality. The BBQ is pulled pork w/​ketchup and loads of sugar.
The highlight is the friendly service and atmosphere. This could be a one of kind if they hand pattied burgers, hand cut ff and put some love and time into their BBQ.

We live here and also eat in or get takeout from Handee Burger almost once a week. The food is great and the staff is friendly. If you are passing through this area and want a good meal that’s fast you have to try it. But get there before 4 PM closing time as they just serve breakfast and lunch and are closed all day Saturday and Sunday.

As one other reviewer mentioned, Handee Burger is known for their «gut bombs», and they’re similar to white castle. They are what they are.
That being said, the breakfast is phenomenal. They have the best breakfast around. The eggs are always fresh, the bacon is crispy, and they have awesome toast or biscuits. The BLT is great as well!
For lunch, you can not beat the regular hamburger. I get mine with cheese and all the toppings. It is the best burger I have ever eaten. It isn’t over the top huge, and I can actually bite the thing, unlike burgers at fancier restaurants that require cutting with a knife first :).
The service is also great. The ladies are courteous and quick. I can always go to the Handee Burger and grab something to eat knowing it will be awesome.

Great local handburger joint w/​a lot of other options. Food comes out fast and hot every time. I would recommend it highly and with the only other review on here being negagtive i’d let the food and service speak for themselves.

One of the last remaining «original» businesses in my little hometown during my lifetime. Kingston has slowly grown over the decades and it’s often joked about that Knoxville will eventually just bleed right on into it and suck it into its bowels as well. But that’s another story.
Handee Burger is a one of a kind stain that just won’t go away. Their specialty is burgers that do their best to ape White Castle and any of its myriad spinoffs. The problem is that these burgers aren’t known as «gut bombs» for nothing They’re about as bad as you can get, with grease apparently being the main ingredient, with godawful onions following that, and then finally the beef itself.
This is one of those places where you get a bag full of burgers and by the time you get home, your car seat is greased up and the bag your food is in is near transparent thanks to, you guessed it, all that delicious grease. I remember trying the fish sandwich there as well one time. What a bad idea that was. If I think even further back, I also remember getting a high score on their Asteroids machine, and seeing «Stars on 45» on the jukebox that was there at the time.
One of the last times I ate at Handee Burger, it wound up coming back up on me a short time later. It wasn’t surprising, then, when an acquaintence I knew wound up working there and getting food poisoning due to unclean utensils, and all that wonderful grease.
As far as I’m concerned, Handee Burger should be bronzed right there on the spot and the community of Kingston instantly relieved from any more of its gastro nightmares.
