Barney's Gourmet Hamburgers

Great place to dine with an extensive menu. Very nice patio seating. Service is great and food delicious. Next time I’ll get pictures. I had the falafel salad.

We were having a good-bye dinner with good friends who are moving. The atmosphere is above average burger joint, just perfect for the food. Service was very good with just the right amount of attention. My wife had their Barney's salad of which she ate her fill then brought almost half of it home. I had the French Burger that was cooked beautifully medium-rare and needed no condiments. The 4 of us shared an order of steak fries which was more than enough. As a long-time resident of Pittsburgh, PA, I especially appreciated the Heinz ketchup for the fries. We will be back.

Delicious quality burgers are cooked to order. Medium-rare is pink inside a charred patty. The Barney Burger comes with 1/2 lb of meat which is a bit much for me. Please consider a 5 or 6 oz patty as an option!

Onion rings are amazing! Like hand dipped in batter huge! Burgers are delicious 😋. I have been here twice and both times were great. The area is very nice. Parking isn't easy but not to hard either its peidmont in Oakland its like the city so expected. Price is normal for the quality 👌

This place is terrible. $26 for a completely unseasoned and unremarkable burger that has the consistency of a hockey puck on a stale bun, and for some reason it's 30 minutes from order to table. They also served it to me to go even though I didn't order it as such, and took over 20 minutes to deliver our milkshake.

1/10, do not recommend.

Barney’s is what it is. It’s a Bay Area institution. The burgers are reliably good. The sides are good, but also be aware that sides are separate. If you order a burger, fries, and a drink, you’ll be close or over $30. Not unreasonable for Piedmont Avenue, but I know plenty of people that are frustrated at the idea of buying fries on principle, so beware if that’s how you feel. Atmosphere is the worst part because 1. There’s often a faint stickiness to tables, 2. I’ve always seen at least one fly buzzing around (typically near the window seats), 3. Acoustics suck.

Burgers and fries were yummy. Chili dog with curly fries was very good. They have shakes too.

Barney's always hits the spot. Very eager to please and accommodate your tastes and needs. Everything I have tried—items I know I would like if I made them myself— are always great.

It’s hard to describe the feeling going into this restaurant. In fact, I would say it almost felt like home. The staff were so kind and it look like I as a customer was meaningful to them personally. I enjoyed seeing the sociable aspects of the staff’s lives, it almost felt like I was in the kitchen, cooking alongside them. I highly recommend ordering at least one of their milkshakes, if not a second or third side from the audacious flavor of the milkshake and rich creaminess they also gave me heaping amounts of milkshake. I would love to see where this restaurant takes itself in the future, and I would be ashamed if it weren’t successful anymore.

Overpriced cafeteria food. The service was good. The place was clean. It’s just that the fries were lukewarm and the chicken taste like it was precooked, frozen then thawed for my meal. Not the most egregious thing in the world. I’d just rather not pay $20 for generic Food Co. food.

I've been going here for years. Really delicious and great staff, my go to is a voo doo burger and curley seasoned fries with ranch

Great for a quick bite and decent portion sizes.

Custom burgers encouraged, and the gnarliest onion rings in the WORLD! Get a cheese burger with one donut sized onion ring in it wl BBQ sauce. Have them cut it in half so you can take the other half home to enjoy the next day...

I like my burgers medium rare and the last two times I've been here they cooked the hamburger patty well done to the point of ruin. I would have returned it, but was in a hurry. Since it's priced for perfection I hope they get a handle on the issue asap.
