Downtown Visalia’s Main Street welcomes a family-owned gourmet burger concept from Julie and Scott Glenn that blends classic American flavors with creative modern twists.
Since founding in 2013, the family took a “leap of faith” that’s paid off with locations across Central California serving signature gourmet burgers, flatbreads, salads, wraps, and seafood.
The Visalia location brings upscale bar food to a beautifully designed space with modern, natural décor that feels welcoming rather than pretentious. 🍔

What sets House of Juju apart are the named burgers featuring creative house-made sauces paired with quality ingredients. Every burger comes with a choice of Certified Angus Beef, grilled Portobella mushroom, or free-range ground turkey, accommodating different dietary preferences without sacrificing flavor.
Customers consistently praise the cool vibe, attentive staff, and phenomenal recommendations from servers who know the menu inside out. The owner Scott makes time to meet guests, creating that family atmosphere where everyone feels welcomed.
Calamity Jane Burger: Bold Western Flavors
The Calamity Jane tops the popular dishes list with 9 photos and 10 reviews on Yelp alone. This signature creation features house-made BBQ sauce, pepper jack cheese, crispy onion strings, lettuce, and tomato on a half-pound Angus patty.
The crispy onion strings add essential textural contrast while the pepper jack brings creamy heat that balances the sweet BBQ sauce beautifully. Available with Certified Angus Beef, portobella, or turkey, it proves creative toppings work across protein options. At $18.95, you’re getting restaurant-quality execution at reasonable prices. This burger represents everything great about House of Juju—named after an iconic Western figure, packed with bold flavors, and executed with care that shows in every bite.
Leticia Burger: Spicy California Heat
The roasted Ortega green chili brings that essential California flavor profile while adding complexity beyond basic jalapeños. Fresh avocado provides creamy richness that tempers the chipotle heat, and the cilantro in the house-made sauce adds herbaceous brightness.
Priced at $19.95, it’s the priciest burger on the menu but worth it for the fresh avocado and house-roasted chilies. The “mild” spice designation means it delivers flavor without overwhelming those who can’t handle extreme heat. 🌶️
JuJu Roasted Potatoes: Signature Side Perfection
These large cube-cut potatoes get baked then fried for perfect texture—crispy outside, fluffy inside. Reviewers can’t stop raving: “roasted potato’s with the cilantro dipping sauce was to die for.”
The three signature dipping sauces—Kalamata, chipotle, and spicy garlic turn these potatoes into an experience rather than just a side.
The chipotle sauce earns special praise as “amazing,” while mysterious purple sauce (possibly beet-based) becomes addictive. Multiple reviewers specifically mention “the sauces to put on the JuJu potatoes alone are worth the trip.”
Atmosphere
The modern, natural design with beautiful simplicity creates a welcoming environment on Main Street. The space feels comfortable even on hot summer days, with a nice outdoor area for cooler months.
