I wish they still made small & cheap sets of shops and ,especially, houses in City.
Gotta love square hamburgers! :)
Hey! That isn't 6 feet away, figures!
On topic, guess Huwbot noticed our area is about to have an In n Out, so he did a burger-related set.
Not the most appetising image of a burger on that sign, but still a great small set.
Oh, and is that a miniature fried egg on the left of that burger?
There’s always money in the hamburder stand.
This looks like a charming little set. I agree with SpoonTree - it would be nice to have sets in this style in production nowadays.
Don't make a joke about the piece count...

TOFU BURGER!? I hardly know 'er!
As a kid I always interpreted this 'hamburger' image as a burger with giant lips that are eating a piece of lettuce, a one of the lips has a ring through it.
As an adult... I still kind of see the same thing. It's too deeply ingrained.
This is what’s missing in City nowadays. Compact little shops and services (remember Post Offices?), and food outlets. Sorry Lego, a burger monster truck doesn’t cut the ketchup.
^And Like Ridley, Smash Fighter number 65, it's (supposedly) too big to be usable!
You know, as a kid? I always wondered why the hamburger (pictured on the sticker) had an earring.
It wasn't until adulthood that I realised, "Oh. Onion."
It’s nice to see people taking a stand against hunger. A burger stand to be precise.
Happy Easter everybody!
Sweetness!
I desparately want to push down that circular 2x2x2 support piece at the corner of the baseplate.

Oh no... now you’ve attracted my attention to that I cannot stop thinking about it. My fingers are itching to squeeze 2 Lego plates together!
If you are not aware that sticker (or it redesign) appeared in EXTRA stickers set.

Maybe an onion, or in Australia Beetroot!
I remember getting this as a kid, as it was the first set I owned with the “new”, longer, 33° roof slopes.
The seemed so cool, when you’d only ever seen short 45° slopes.
The glass door was new that year too, it was all just so modern to my younger self!
I got this for Xmas as a child! One of my first sets.

Me too!
As a kid, I was shocked to find that the pieces right under the roof are black, not yellow. Which is how I (thought I was) taught you build wall with a roof on it. But also, that the decorative blue line allows for the two-sided serving window platter, as well as the 1x6 plate to fix the door in place. One of the first sets I remember that had 'clever' building techniques.
Aww, this looks so sweet
This is how the 2019 Burger Bar should've been sold, instead of adding Fire rescue to it, but I can understand City doesn't get buildings anymore without vehicles now.
I missed out on getting this set (not because of dark ages, just because there were so many sets, and so little funding to get them). I loved how LEGO could covey what a building was for with a symbol instead of trying to make unique sets for each language possible.
That and I really miss the pigtail hair pieces in sets (especially in white).
One of the favourite sets I own and played a lot with as a kid. So much play value and it looked great in my city.
Where's my order?!
One of my all time favourite sets!! I love this set and am so happy to have it!! Bizarrely I seem to have two hamburger signs for it with one of them green!! Where that came from I have no idea! Pride of place in my city - reminds me of a Wimpy near Stafford!

The 200 and 250 idea books had this 'hamburger' sign sticker on their sticker sheets as well
