12 Best Burger Restaurants in Alameda

“In-N-Out Burger is one of those places that feels simple in the best way possible. The menu is short, which honestly makes ordering less stressful, and everything feels intentional. You go there knowing you’re getting burgers, fries, and shakes—no distractions. The burgers are fresh, juicy, and taste like they were actually made when you ordered, not pulled from a heat lamp. The toasted buns and crisp lettuce make everything feel balanced instead of greasy.

The fries are probably the most debated part. On their own, they’re hit or miss since they’re fresh-cut and not super crispy, but ordering them “animal style” changes everything. With cheese, grilled onions, and sauce, they’re way more satisfying. The shakes are thick, classic, and not overly sweet, which makes them easy to finish.

What really stands out is the price and consistency. For how good the food is, it’s surprisingly affordable, especially compared to other fast-food chains. The staff is usually friendly and upbeat, and the restaurant stays pretty clean even when it’s packed. Overall, In-N-Out isn’t trying to be fancy—it just does fast food really well, and that’s why people love it.“

“Delicious food, highly recommended“

“We held my son’s 7th birthday at Pacific Pinball Museum just 1.5 blocks away, and walked the party of about 25 people here for sliders and birthday pie. Cecilia and her team were wonderful. We had come by a couple weeks in advance to let them know we were planning to be there, and she reserved several tables for us. She even called the morning of to ask if we wanted her to pick up some table cloths for the party. Simply wonderful service, and the burgers and fries (and quesadillas!) were delicious. It can be a pain to have a dozen 7 year olds running around, but the staff (and other customers) were completely understanding. Thank you so much for making my son’s birthday six a memorable experience!“

“Amazing! Food drinks and views“

“The food was delish but the service was inconsistent. We were served by multiple ppl but were told Emily would be our services throughout the night we have saw her twice. The food was very well done. We got the burrata, the Caesar, the special anchovy toast, the cast iron chicken, branzino, and the fresh pasta carbonara with the shoe string potatoes and the Brussels sprouts. For dessert, we got the chocolate bar. All in all a great meal for a fair price. Would be back if in the area as it’s one of the nicer restaurants in Alameda“

“The irony is don't eat here for their burger- I eat here for their teriyaki beef sandwich. It's is saucy and full of flavor. It's what I always get and I can't budge on getting anything else. The woman takes and makes your order so keep that in mind if you're time sensitive.“

“The cook came out to chat with us! Yummy food!“

“Great place to eat…! And to have family and friends reunions…!“

“We had dinner there tonight (3/14/24) for the first time and we will be back. Two of the most interesting and truly delicious sandwiches we have ever eaten. I can't remember what mine was called, but it had chicken (roasted perfectly), sauerkraut, cheese and other awesome stuff on a grilled rye bread that was excellent. My bride had the turkey sandwich and loved it. But the star of the show were the Tater Tots. Perfectly crisp with BBQ sauce to dip them in and then into some wonderful real bacon bits. Every tot stayed crisp from the first to the last. The meal was worth every penny and more. Get into the Alameda location and try it. You won't be sorry. PS: The only bad part for me is that we live in Seattle and won't be back down until May. But you can bet I will be eating here then.“

“One of my favorite restaurants in the park for brunch. The donuts are delicious and the service is always so friendly.“

“Very good food and drinks 🥤“

“The food was good, nice and hot. I didn't like the fact that in the window and on the sign it had the same price, when I got my receipt I was charged more..When I asked to speak to a manager the lasy couldn't speak good english and she didn't understand me at all.“
