Cassell’s Hamburgers, nestled within the historic Hotel Normandie, offers a quintessential American diner experience with a focus on quality burgers. The beef is ground fresh daily from Aspen Ridge Natural Angus Prime, ensuring a juicy patty bursting with flavor. Options include various sizes, from a 1/4 pound to a 2/3 pound patty, each customizable with multiple cheeses and served on a classic bun alongside crisp lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickles. Signature items like the patty melt, with its perfectly grilled onions and Swiss cheese, stand out for their nostalgic charm.

Sides complement the meal with choices such as Kennebec fries or onion rings, both fried in peanut oil for a subtle nutty flavor. Milkshakes made with Fosselman’s ice cream add a creamy treat, while a full bar offers craft options for those seeking something more adult. The restaurant’s unique setting, an unassuming diner design within a historic hotel, creates a cozy ambiance. Though there’s no outdoor seating, the interior’s nostalgic appeal and attentive service make for a welcoming experience. Orders are efficiently handled, though the setup is more casual, with a step-up counter for placing orders.

Cassell’s Hamburgers is noted for its commitment to using premium ingredients and supporting local suppliers, such as Beeler’s nitrate-free pork products and Chino Valley Ranch eggs. The restaurant is frequently praised for its great service, delicious burgers, and generous portions. While it may not have patio seating, its location in the Hotel Normandie offers a unique dining experience with a touch of vintage charm. The restaurant is well-regarded by locals and visitors alike for providing a classic diner experience with modern touches.
