The best Cheeseburger in town bar none. Char broiled with the works can't be beat. The traditional diner atmosphere is historic.

Hole in the wall place. The burger and shake I had was fantastic. Wasn't digging the chilli cheese fries though. Didn't take too long to get my food.

love the history of the place. isnt the cleanest but it makes up for it in personality. burgers were great and shakes were top tier!!!

Old place with good food. Great for lunch. Maybe dont go there on a date.

Great Mom & Pop Burger Shop. Been going for Years but unfortunately succumbed to inflation... Still overall would say Best Burger in town.

Pains my heart, but with the new ownership it's just not that good anymore. It went from being amazing and the best burger spot to "decent".

Meat quality is lower, I bit into gristle 4 times.

Also the new owners are not charring the burgers on the original owners charring grill. I see the grill was on but they used the flat top instead.

This is what made the previous owner's burgers so good before

The fries used to be amazing and now they are dry.

Over all it wasn't as good as the original owner's burgers sadly.

A sad 3/5 Idk if I will come back

Greeted with RACISM! Unfriendly staff! Would’ve been nice to get to order I show up with a broken ankle and leg bone in crutches and know one helped me at the window? Waited ten minutes they stared at my family and I like we were see through and never spoke! We politely left will never come back. Retired USN veteran can’t even pay to be served in my own Country! This was sad I pray they go out of business! I do food reviews on Instagram @LegendaryCoachD This is my first ever bad review!

Best burgers in Livermore. Honestly best burgers I've had. Fries are so fresh when they come out. Shakes are great! I love the banana shake. Cute old diner. The service is great as well.

Everything was delicious but the no AC building surrounded by a hot kitchen isn't all that fun.
