Alex KimOctober 18, 2014So true. Tried the bacon cheesy true burger and would come back for it again. Sauce is good, patty is cooked well, and bun is nice and crispy on the edges.- Angelica DongalloJune 28, 2018Love the panko-crusted cheese-stuffed mushroom burger and garlic fries. Wash it down with a custom shake (coffee with Twinkie mix-ins)
- Alan HJanuary 20, 2019I think I just found my favorite burger in Oakland. Wow. I love how customizable the shakes are... make mine a malted! 👌🏼
Simon BurnsDecember 14, 2019Very smashed burgers - juicy, really craftily done. Great milkshakes too. All around great spot, feels like a community joint
Raymond AndersonFebruary 15, 2015True Burger Deluxe.... (Feel like Martin in the movt "LIFE", takin' a bite of the pie!) Burned my mouth, the cheese was too damn HOT! Other than that, I think I have a Valentines Crusher!- Eric LanehartAugust 2, 2015Go deluxe: the burger with a deep-fried-smoked-mozzarella-injected on top. Have a whole dill pickle on the side to digest!
Stephanie TeNovember 18, 2019Probably one of the best burgers in the bay. The mushroom burger is amazing.
Michael MontoyaSeptember 3, 2014Cheesy True Burger was awesome. Fresh made patty and not over done fries. I wilm go back to kill my burger craving.- Kyle Will.I.AmsApril 5, 2014Definitely try their specialty shakes. I had a Butterfinger shake that was heavenly. Ask about their Twinkie Shake too
AliceFebruary 16, 2023Get the Deluxe. Be mind blown by their fried portobello mushroom stuffed with cheese.
This place use to have great cheese fries... They removed them from the menu, raised all the prices, and basically ruined a great place :(
Ellen McGrodyMarch 16, 2015Really delicious burgers, super bomb milkshakes, crispy fries. A bit pricey!
JasonMarch 19, 2017Cheesy True Burger is great, but not sure it's worth the price (although that bun is killer). Plain fries are crazy generic though.- Jordan RicardoDecember 9, 2013Not quite in Shake Shack's league, but a solid neighborhood staple for sure. Cashier recommended garlic mayo for regular fries and now I can do the same.
The bacon cheesy and the mushroom burguers are amazing!
The best burger in Oakland and the fries are good also
Gabby HAugust 29, 2014Make your own black and white. Vanilla shake plus chocolate sauce. Dumb to pay extra but so good.
Best burger in the east bay. Better than a $12 burger at a fancy place.
Jose HernandezSeptember 27, 2014Nice burger! Couldn't tell if it was aioli or mayo, but if you don't want it you havebto say so. Otherwise awesome burger. Fries just ok.
Sabrina MorganJune 14, 2013Their burgers are simple and genuinely delicious: juicy, fresh, and meaty.
Ana Gabriela Hernandez-McKigMay 21, 2010The cheese fries have a unique ability of staying hot but still so delicious. Just wait a minute before diving in, or else your tongue may face molten cheese!
Careful: those fries are already salted. But where else could you get a banana coffee chocolate shake with'em? Wifi seems to be dead, though.
Custom milkshake: vanilla with orange mix-in. You got yourself a creamsicle shake right there, buddy.
spicy coleslaw hot dog messy but yummy. thumbs up for full sail session ale. it's my new favorite
Every time I take the first bite, I always say to myself "oh God that's good.."
Order over the phone and they'll have your food ready in 10 mins or less.
Richard CepedaJanuary 21, 2013This place has amazing burgers and shakes if you are on the go. My food took 8 minutes to cook.
Spicy slaw dog! Plus the occational shake special. Twinkie shakes are in season.
