50 Best Burger Restaurants near Albany

“Atmosphere, customer service, prices and the freaking food is amazing 😍. Highest rated casual dining from Hayward to Vallejo! For good reason! This is a must if in the area. We will be back!“

“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.“

“1111 Solano is a new location for this restaurant. Previously near Craneway and before the pandemic in Point Richmond. Same chef, same staff, and same excellent food and service.“

“Delicious food 🍔🍟🍦🥤yummy 😍“

“Sooooooooooooooooooo delicious“

“first time going here. A friend recommended and I was not disappointed! Burger, Fries and milkshake were soooo good. I will be definitely returning. I ordered for pickup but place looks really nice and staff were nice as well when I picked up.“

“We came in on a Friday afternoon looking for some quality fare, and were taken care of by Jasmin herself and her coworker at the time. We had the cheeseburger and double burger, and all of the sides (tater tots, fries, onion rings). Not only was all the food freshly cooked in front of us, everything was perfectly crispy, and packed with flavor.

And Jasmin! I'm going to echo all the comments made by others and just say she is the sweetest host. She's about as Korean ajumma as you can get, in terms of hospitality and making sure you're fed. She's ready to make your day the best way she can, and with a smile on her face.

I hope she continues to be a staple of the neighborhood for the next 20 years and beyond!

P.s. buy a tote bag!“

“Amazing burger !! Je recommande !!“

“This place was excellent big juicy burgers -fries that rival in-n-out! Thick creamy shakes made the old fashioned way,
While on vacay we couldn’t decide on what to eat, and so we opted for burgers, who doesn’t like a burger? And man oh man did we make a great choice! Bbq burg, blue cheese burg, and the brisket dinner. The staff was wonderful and friendly, accommodating, a kid friendly spot, *bathrooms are kept tidy* felt good to get yummy food in a cool 50’s style diner.“

“I love Lana's! It's my favorite ice cream shop - so much so I went there for my birthday. The staff are super friendly and the flavors are superb. Banana Oreo and Lilikoi (passion fruit) are definitely my favorite. Shout out to the crew today for keeping my pint cold as I ate my waffle cone outside :)“

“Everything about this halal king kitchen was exceptional. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, and the food absolutely phenomenal. Every dish was bursting with flavour and beautifully presented.The wraps were amazing definitely coming back.“

“Dude. It's In-n-Out. What more can I say? Just Do It!“

“If you're looking for a smash burger in San Francisco this is the "go to" place.“

“Love the food and the community!!“

“It was a drive thru, so take the atmosphere rating w a grain of salt. As a vegetarian, I don't come here often, but I drive through the tunnel several times a day and there is only so long one can resist the scrumptious smell of fried onions and all of the animal style goodness.
So, I joined the long line and grabbed a grilled cheese animal style, along with some fries and a drink.
The guy taking my order was patient, friendly, and thorough. The person taking my money was cheerful and smiling. The person giving me the food double checked to make sure I was being given the correct order and was friendly and kind.
The grilled cheese and all of the toppings is hit the spot. The fries were on the salty side, and the drink had the perfect balance of beverage and ice.
If you eat meat, your experience will likely be better, since there are so many additional options.
Go on the earlier side or risk getting in line directly out of the tunnel (stay in the farthest right lane).
Enjoy!“

“The burgers are so juicy and delicious! Anthony Bourdain was right!“

“I went there for brunch and I totally recommend it. Be mindful you will have to queue outside, but if that doesn’t stop you, you will enjoy one of the best brunches I’ve had in town.
We ordered the cdmx and the special of the day. They were both really good and filling.
If they have agua fresca de mango, order it. It is delicious!!“

“My Prized Pearl burger was cooked to perfection but was disappointed with the lack of flavor of the burger. Not seasoned whatsoever which left me tasting the overbearing blue cheese. The garlic fries were good and my peanut butter milkshake was delicious. Presentation was good and the service was great but lacks the space for seating comfortably.“

“I tried the double burger which is half pounder with caramelized onion and dill pickles. Every ingredients make a fabulous harmony in my mouth and the tater tots were “THE FINALE” I’m gonna come back for the Warriors Breakfast burger which has sunny side up egg on burger!!!!!!! And cheese curds!!!! Gotta check this place frequently. Love can’t describe this place, I wanna gate-keep this place.

“Good food under the towering Bay Bridge- great views 😍“

“great juicy burger, thick creamy shake and the amazing garlic fries 🍟“

“I love Nations but it really pisses me off that the Management doesn't allow the employees to have a tip jar of every little bit helps especially now and it's not like they pay great either just average, but I did see a Giant Help Wanted sign in the window, hmmm I wonder why?“

“Great spot! Food was on point and the staff is awesome. If you're looking for a great burger and fries option this is the spot. The fries are seasoned well and crispy and the burger is juicy and flavorful. The menu has a lot of options. Hot sandwiches and chicken options...they also have gourmet, specialty waygu burger options. Can't wait to visit the area again to try.more off the menu! Oh.. awesome bar and bartenders too.“

“Delicious food, highly recommended“

“I still love a good old fashion Nation's Giant Hamburgers. It's one of those things that remain the same. You know what you're getting when you go. Now, the burger was as expected but I was served two orders of cold fries. The pies are fresh and still delicious as ever. When I'm in the mood for cheesecake I'll go.“

“My picky husband really liked the veggie burger 😊“

“Your chicken sandwich swelled up my lip because it was so dang hot“

“Hella lit. Great taste and awesome prices, the salt and pepper fries are delicious too. Very happy that West Oakland is getting some food joints, and not just more weed dispensaries.

“We stopped in last weekend while on a road trip and absolutely loved this place! The food was fantastic and reasonably priced. The manager, Alejandro Parada provided incredible customer service. I really wish we lived nearby so we could eat here all the time!“

“Roam Artisan Burgers is a fantastic spot for anyone who appreciates high-quality, flavorful burgers. From their commitment to sourcing fresh, pasture-raised ingredients to their diverse menu, Roam offers a delicious dining experience. The burgers are cooked to perfection, with options that cater to every taste—whether you're craving classic beef or something more adventurous like bison. Their sides, like the truffle fries, and the all-natural shakes are also a must-try. The atmosphere is welcoming, and the staff is friendly and attentive. Roam Artisan Burgers is definitely worth a visit for anyone in the mood for a gourmet burger experience.“

“We are from West Michigan. You could say me and the boys are cheeseburger connoisseurs. We give this place a solid 8. Burgers were well made, presented well. Toppings were fresh and had good color. It was not too messy, but yet was juicy. A nice portion size, not too big, not too small. We would recommend these burgers if you are in the area!“

“Great “mini” burger but mini is a misnomer“

“So amazing! This place always brings back my great memory. When I came first time to Oakland 25 years ago, this place was my first time to have a real hamburger in my life. And after many years, the taste never changes. Actually better every time I come again. I love this place so much!“

“Always so conflicted when I like something this much and it's in the Marina. This place was terrific and the true measure of its value was in the taste of my burger. After much deliberation, I went with the Heritage Bison burger with applewood smoked bacon, fontina cheese, and caramelized onions. It was superb. The bison always has such amazing flavor, rich but not greasy or fatty, just mouth-watering goodness with each bite.

Just go and have it. Now. It's really, really good.

“Last Saturday we ordered a lot of food from the melt. The whole crew was working overtime and we all ordered multiple items and the crew absolutely killed it. Lady working the cashier was absolutely amazing. Sweetest lady ever. The cooks were amazing and they have a very good crew working. The only names I received were Mar, Janeka, Dom and Tone but everyone was incredible and we definitely will be back.“

“I have heard about this restaurant from friends so I went to try it, it is a sit-eat-and-go place I have tried the Persian burger and it taste good it looks like a kafta kabab taste. As a Lebanese and food lover I was impressed with the hummus the taste was good but the Tabboule didn’t meet my expectations because you shouldn’t have cucumber and lettuce as also it needs more lemon juice.
It was a nice experience, and I would go again if got the chance.“

“Good selection with a lot of options and they don't disappoint. It was my son's 1st time and he loved it‼️“

“Very good sandwiches!! 10/10“

“Goodness! The food's good even if I let it get cold!
Also service is lightning fast!

They were even able to help reccomend me options when I had and injury that prevented me from using one of my hands to eat! And that's just...really cool.“

“I don't know if crispy is what a cheesesteak traditionally is, but it's what it should aspire to be. This place was an accidental choice based on where we were, and it was excellent.

Dietary restrictions: I have kind of an unusual sensitivity, and the fellow behind the counter was willing and able to answer my questions so I could be confident ordering.

I make no effort to keep halal, but it is offered here.

Parking: The nearby BART station is a much better choice.“

“If you are interested in old school burgers where you can still order medium rare, and the burgers actually come medium rare, this the place. The burgers are huge and of high quality beef. The price includes fries, but I like the fact that with a very small upcharge I was able to sub 1/2 sweet potato fries and half onion rings, also very good and made to order. Finally, their milkshakes are great. I took one star off for atmosphere, but that’s because there was a basekball game going on and was a bit loud; however the other patrons were watching the game so I can’t really fault them. The guy that runs the place is always so friendly and appreciative of my business.“

“Good lamb burger. Quality of food is very good. BRING BACK THE DOOGH (yogurt drink). Falafel is not good on the Mediterranean Plate, a few crumbs instead of a proper falafel ball. Also bring the eggplant back. Should go back to the old menu items.“

“Ordered online and received the food immediately after arriving. I asked for a holder, and they took a box with a little bit of ketchup packets and emptied it and placed my drinks and food inside. The food itself was amazing, large portions, plenty of flavor. 10/10 would recommend.“

“Staff is nice. Food is good. Baja tacos are good & the California burger & onion rings. Love the soft serve ice cream, especially the chocolate. This location is exceptionally nice, spacious clean, they do need a little more attention to making sure table have been wiped down but overall clean. Lovely outdoor eating area, spacious indoor dining.“

“Best place to watch am Eagles game. Felt like home. Great atmosphere and food!“

“This little burger joint is like stepping back in time to the 50s. The burgers, fries and shakes are great, really hit the spot! No indoor seating, but theres outdoor chairs and benches and plenty of parking. Very economic pricing, efficient service.“

“Great place with very delicious food.“

“Small unassuming restaurant but burgers and fries are very very good. It's not fast food. It will take time to cook your order but it's worth the wait. Price is relatively cheap considering the big portion and high quality of the food. Friendly staff. Place is clean and quiet because everyone is enjoying their meal. It can get busy once all the nearby restaurants close. Oh, I also like the milkshakes.“

“Great friendly service and great food !“
