I ordered a bacon cheeseburger and the buns came nearly burnt. Also, they let the vegetables cook with the bread, which made them extremely soggy. I can’t say I would recommend this place after my burger experience.

AVOID THIS PLACE! BAD FOOD AND INCOMPETENT EMPLOYEES! Just visited this place after seeing the high reviews. Ordered a cheeseburger with cheddar instead of American, and their chili cheese fries. Sat down at a booth where the table probably hadn't been wiped down all day and quickly realized the wood bench seat was far too uncomfortable to remain for the duration of my meal. Switched to a small table that also had to be wiped down. Didn't take too long to get my food. First impression of the fries was that it had a terribly small amount of chili poured on top of the seasoned fries and an equally tiny portion of shredded Mexican style cheese sprinkled atop the chili. The first bite was far worse than the first impression, and I almost gagged at the detergent-like taste that overtook my taste buds. Completely shocked and surprised, I actually considered that something was wrong with my senses. So I tried the burger--which had a slightly smaller meat patty than expected--and though it didn't meet my high hopes and expectations, it still tasted like a burger, which, in turn, restored confidence in my incredible taste buds. Confidence restored, I again attempted a couple bites of the chili cheese fries, each bite more disgusting than the last. While normally I would just walk out of such a place and never return, the taste of this dish was so horrendous that I had to ask for a refund. However, nobody working behind the counter was trained or able to undertake such a glorious endeavor, to which they were forced to call up management by phone! And their solution? To write down my name, phone number, and credit card number ON THE BACK OF MY RECEIPT (yep, they were trying to steal the only proof that I had actually been there). To which I responded, "You've gotta be joking!" I said I'd be back when a manager was working onsite, which would have had me delayed quite a while since there is apparently never a manager onsite. To sum it up: cheap service and cheap food at cheap thrills yet all overpriced! Save yourself the trouble and skip this dump.

I was looking for a good burger place and saw the great reviews. Let me tell you I was not disappointed! My husband got the mountain burger and I got the fire burger. They are totally loaded and so good! It’s hard to find burgers like this. It’s a little corner spot and just the kind of place we were looking for. Will definitely be back!!

where to begin other than to say this place is easily one of the best burger joints in the area. their prices are very reasonable, and they have so much to offer. their burgers are super delicious plain, but their more complex/fancy burgers, like the Hawaiian burger are incredibly well executed. you will not regret eating here. while you can order face to face with one of the cooks, you do have the option to order from a kiosk, which is nice if you’re not feeling like talking. the interior is very clean. every time that i’ve been there, it’s never been dirty, and while they only have one bathroom, the bathroom is so clean. i cannot stress the cleanliness of the bathroom enough. Uncle Jay Burger House has it all. i’ve taken multiple people here (all of whom live far) and every time they go home, they frequently talk to me afterwards about how good this location is. i think if Uncle Jay Burger House had milkshakes or smoothies, that it would be a great menu item to have, but that’s just a suggestion. keep up the good work! :)

Just ok. The sauces on the western burger were way too sweet for me, the garlic fries were too greasy.

Very clean, the service is fast and the taste of their burgers is very good, plus their prices have gone down while maintaining the quality of the product.

Everything about this renovated interior of Uncle Jay's Burger House is spectacular! Everything was made perfectly and very well crafted and designed. The Bulgoki Fries are wonderful and very much worth the trip by themselves. Flavors balance nicely with the sauces and Bulgoki and perfectly cooked seasoned fries.

The Fire Burger is also spectacular. I particularly was impressed with their choice of bun, seseme seed, toasted and tasty! The extra chees sause they give on the side makes every bite luxurious. Not that hot at all, in fact i could go a few more levels of hotness for my experienced palate of heat, but delicious nonetheless.

The Fire Fire Hot Dog is beefy. It might have pork in it, not sure, but it tasted beefy and a good size that filled the bun properly. The guacamole was a homeowner! Smooth, tasty, full of Avocado taste and combined with the shredded cheddar cheese made each bite a delicious mouthful of the soft bun and guacamole with the snap of the hotdog and the meaty flavors combined for a wonderful mouth experience of texture and flavor. One of the best Hot dogs in Concord!!

While I used the self serve kiosk to make my order the staff was was very pleasant ready with my drink right after ordering and delivered everything with a beautiful smile and warth. Watching them cook and prepare everything is also an upgrade to the dining experience anywhere to watch the food being made and handled gives an upgrade to the dining experience knowing you can see what's happening out in the open. The restaurant itself is very clean and comfortable and right next to the wonderful Todos Santos Park making it the perfect place for a nice walk, enjoying the festivities and grabbing a burger and/or hotdog.

I'll definitely be coming back and recommend this renovated Uncle Jay's to anyone!! Great job!! 👍

Parking: Parking garage directly across the street if all the spots on the street are full.

I was in the area running some errands and felt like grabbing a burger. I found this place nearby and decided to try it. I got the pork katsu burger and bulgogi fries. Everything was cooked perfectly; the pork was nicely fried and still tender, and the fries were peak crispy despite the bulgogi and toppings. I saw the burgers being made while waiting for my wife's Togo order and they looked amazing. I will definitely go back to try burgers next time.

Liked this place and the staff was really nice. I had the chili burger and it was OK but regret not getting a regular burger as those looked a lot better. Note, it wasn't the burger/patty itself it was the chili and cheese combo that was a bit bland. My kids standard burger was really good along with the fries being amazing. I will be back.

My brother purchased two cheese burgers last night. We were both sick and throwing up most of the night. The service was slow with 2 customers inside waiting for our orders.

It was a very enjoyable experience being my first time visiting this establishment. The staff were sure to provide me with knowledgeable references to the menu and offered me a cup of ice to keep cool on the hot day.

Ok this place is kind of a sleeper. Very unsuspecting looking outside. But between the menu delivering wonderful burgers with a umami flavor and pizzazz and the price point being amazing. Who wouldn’t want to dine here.
And the folks working here are so sweet.
This… is how you run a business.
