In a city famous for food trucks, Hat Creek managed to stick around through an unwavering commitment to doing the right thing. From high quality ingredients like all-natural beef and freshly baked buns to our philosophy of service, Hat Creek became known for our simple, delicious burgers served with a side of connection.
