For George and Suzie Dyer, the dream of crafting the perfect all-natural burger joint wasn’t just a fleeting thought – it was a long-simmering passion. Years before Pine Street Burgers became a local favorite, the Dyers were already deeply rooted in the Nevada City and Grass Valley culinary scene. They weren’t newcomers to the restaurant world; in fact, they were seasoned owners of three successful South Pine Cafes, and another charming cafe nestled in downtown Nevada City. They even owned a popular sandwich and hot dog spot near Sierra Nevada Memorial Hospital in Grass Valley, a place they acquired simply because they loved it and saw its potential. While these ventures thrived for eight years, their hearts were always drawn back to that original burger dream, constantly searching for the ideal location to bring it to life.
Fate, as it often does, had a clever twist in store. After numerous unsuccessful attempts to lease a new space, the perfect spot was staring them right in the face – their very own hot dog and sandwich shop! This realization sparked a period of dedicated experimentation. The Dyers committed themselves to developing all-natural burgers, innovative house-made vegetarian options, and sourcing buns free from additives and high fructose corn syrup. Gluten-free buns that could actually hold up to a juicy burger and all the delicious toppings were a must. They also prioritized health-conscious choices, opting for healthy oils devoid of trans fats.
But the vision extended beyond just burgers. Pine Street Burgers aimed to offer a complete, wholesome experience. They perfected hand-scooped, all-natural shakes with unprocessed flavorings, and even crafted an all-natural, dairy-free shake that could capture all the classic flavors, staying true to their commitment to natural ingredients and no additives. And so, Pine Street Burgers was born in August 2013, quickly establishing itself as the place to go for those seeking satisfying, hearty, and reasonably healthy meals without breaking the bank.
From day one, Pine Street Burgers became synonymous with quality and a relaxed atmosphere. Customers flocked to Pine Street to indulge in killer burgers, crispy fries, and creamy shakes, leaving with the feeling of having enjoyed a truly substantial and well-made meal. The Dyers’ dedication to quality and customer satisfaction is unwavering. They are genuinely committed to providing you, your friends, and your family with an exceptional dining experience every time you visit. George and Suzie encourage open feedback, inviting customers to share their thoughts in person, by phone, or email if anything falls short of expectations. This commitment to continuous improvement is a cornerstone of the Pine Street Burgers philosophy.
