burger stand

Outdoor grill counter

A burger stand is a small, simple establishment that sells hamburgers and related fast food, typically with limited or no indoor seating.

The term evokes roadside spots, walk-up windows, and casual outdoor dining: We stopped at a burger stand on the highway.

Unlike full-service restaurants, burger stands emphasize speed and informality.
