Walk down San Pablo without smelling the burgers and going inside to order early lunch challenge level: impossible. My favorite diner style burger in the East Bay. If you're in the area and about to grab some fast food, do your taste buds a favor and pop in here to support a fantastic family owned restaurant instead! The price is the same but the quality will be a world apart.
It's one of my favorite places! My Hubby's too! We've been going for years. This time, my Double Bacon Cheeseburger was a little dry. By that, I mean the patties. It was also a bit hard to eat the next day. The bottom bun kept sliding off, as well as the lettuce, tomato, and onion. But still DELICIOUS.

I don't know how else to say this, and it might be a little confusing, but these burgers taste like the 90s! The food and atmosphere gave me so much nostalgia back to when everything was just simple and good. Reminded me of my childhood. You can taste the char from the grill and that signature mesquite charcoal. I don't even drink soda and I had to go back up and get a crispy ice cold coca cola to go with this food, it's just a timeless classic.
