From Grumpy Burger Lady to Happy: Adults with Disabilities Visit Take 3, Leaving the Owner with a Smile
There’s nothing like good food, good music, and good company—and that’s exactly what we found at Take 3 x Grumpy Burger Lady's in Downtown Fresno! Located at 1230 Fulton St, this local gem is owned by the incredible Desiree Washington, who welcomed our 60+ group from Trinity Development Center
(TDC) with open arms, lots of laughter, and even karaoke!
The moment we walked in, it was clear this wasn’t just lunch—it was going to be an experience. Tables were ready both inside and outside, giving us plenty of space to gather. And before long, the karaoke machine was on, and our group was belting out songs with pure joy. The vibe? Electric.
Inside the restaurant, the walls are covered in colorful murals of famous celebrities, and fun burger art is sprinkled throughout the space—it’s like stepping into a playful, artistic wonderland. The setting made us feel energized and ready to dig in.
And oh, the food! Lisa Saxton
and I went for crispy chicken strips and fries (a total classic), while Kamari Flowers
bravely tackled the massive Triple
Take 3 burger—stacked high and juicy. Meanwhile, Tyler Bagby
ordered a delicious hot dog. Each plate came out hot, fresh, and downright delicious.
But the highlight wasn’t just the food—it was the way the staff treated us. Desiree and her team made sure every single person in our group felt welcome and celebrated. By the end of the visit, it wasn’t just our crew grinning from ear to ear—even the “Grumpy Burger Lady” herself was left smiling!
Our heartfelt thanks go out to Desiree and the amazing Take 3 team for giving us such a memorable day. If you’re in Fresno and want a place where the food is tasty, the atmosphere is lively, and the community spirit shines, you’ve got to check out Take 3 x Grumpy Burger Lady. Trust us—you’ll leave full, happy, and maybe even singing karaoke too! Follow Take3 on their Instagram @take3burgers
