50 Best Burger Restaurants in Oakland

“Lana’s is now my go to place for DELICIOUS BURGERS 🍔 & Fries 🍟. I’ve traveled the world and I can confirm that I haven’t eaten a better burger and fries. My top favorite is a Fried Chicken Deluxe and The Deluxe and Fries! You must try the fries and you will get it yourself. They have delicious ice cream as well🍦! Very cool nice friendly stuff, clean neat kitchen, cozy environment, great prices ! I’m not typically leaving reviews but this place is worth it ❤💫“

“This place is underrated. Excellent service. The cashier greeted me as if I was family. Oreo shake was on 💯 and the burgers 🤌🏽
I got a large fry but I should have grabbed 2 larges because 🔥🔥“

“Love the food and the community!!“

“My picky husband really liked the veggie burger 😊“

“even they took awhile for the order yesterday I had some problems chili cheese fries was nasty I'm warmed them up in microwave and they were gross filming the garbage man“

“Just go! There's a parking lot so you won't need to circle to find a spot. The food is INCREDIBLE!
And they have a little hidden oasis in the back where one can eat a crazy good burger & spiced fries.
It's the little things that matter - the special sauce, the sink in the back where we could wash our hands before / after eating, and the incredible service & smiles we received when we walked in. We'll be back anytime we are in the neighborhood!!“

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

“Quite possibly one of the best cheeseburgers I've had in a long long time. If they ask you how you'd like that meat done -- don't bother. It's all medium. I don't know why they ask. Still juicy though. 4 on food just because of that. A little pink would have made that a 5“

“This location is conveniently located in the middle of downtown Oakland. I regularly get the fries and grilled cheese sandwich. I love the milkshakes and strawberry lemonade. They also have nice staff and good service. Shout out to the store manager and the person helping me at the register, Jerome! I will be back for my usual.“

“Great beer and the most delicious burger I've ever had“

“The people working there were really nice and friendly. I ordered a grilled cheese & fries. A little over $6 -not bad these days. And they were good, too. Atmosphere is not great -it’s right across from the Coliseum BART station -but it’s the only place in the immediate vicinity. I was running late to a NIN concert so hadn’t had time to grab something beforehand. There are only two sidewalk tables, so I sat on the fire hydrant. Perfectly fine for a quick bite before a show. They also have a really large menu. I’d stop by again.“

“Im assuming the guy that is there every day is the owner.....he is just the best super attentive treats every person like an actual guest not a customer totally goes out of his way to make sure you are getting exactly what you want I love this place 1000% reccomend.“

“Stopped by OakTown Kabobs and had a really good experience. The food was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned, with generous portions that made for a satisfying meal.

The place has a casual, welcoming atmosphere and the staff were friendly and attentive. Great spot for tasty kabobs and a relaxed dining experience 👍“

“Sparkys has been in existence since I moved into this area over 40 years ago. The menu has evolved to include salads (like teriyaki chicken and teriyaki salmon)and some healthier options like quinoa bowls. That said, I still love their bacon cheeseburgers, various fries and tempura zucchini/mushrooms. If you like matcha, the milkshake is a creamy delight!“

“Nice meat quality in the burger and good cheese amount. I'd like a bigger bun though for the double. That 1/2 pound of meat and lot of cheese overwhelmed the bun. Super Duper has same issue for me on their dub so maybe just me. Also would like lettuce and tomatoes included rather than charge extra.“

“Mama’s is always fabulous! Great food, great people. What more can you ask for??“

“We come by almost every Friday and have lunch at Cato's. The staff is extremely friendly and the service is top notch! It's always rejuvenating to be at Cato's and start our weekend with good food, tasty beverages and a few good laughs with the welcoming folks that work and patronize the Ale House.“

“Best breakfast sandwich in the area, and best prices too!!
Today’s special was chorizo and I was thrilled they let me add chorizo as the meat option to the breakfast croissant.
This was the best tasting breakfast sandwich, truly cooked and assembled to perfection, and the service is friendliest in the town for sure. Thanks Dimond cafe!!“

“I absolutely recommend this place.“

“I have been stopping by the restaurant at least once a week for breakfast since 2023. all the breakfast menu items are great. you will be pleased with what ever you select.“

“Amazing staff and teh best burger in town!“

“Good place for salads. The downside is that the burger meat is shrinking and getting thinner to match their burger buns.Today was my last day of wasting money on their almost paper-thin burgers. I'll still patronize them for salads and occasionally a shake“

“This has got to be one of the best burgers I've ever had in my life!!! Their pastrami burger is 🔥🔥🔥 a must have!!! And they have the best fries as well!! They also give you a very large amount of fries FRESH!“

“As a vegan it’s nearly impossible to find delicious, authentic soul food. I drive out of my way in Bay Area traffic to get there. Now that I have moved away I look forward to my annual trip. Thank you for filling my soul for 15 years!“

“This is a very nice place, everyone is very kind! there didn't seem to be any wait for small parties, or medium parties, we sat in the outdoor area, there are windows to the street and a flexible roof with lights all around, staff were very nice, we paid 15.95 for a Portal burger and 3.75 for a very sizeable one-person portion of chilli lime fries, which tasted awesome, with great flavor chipotle aioli sauce on the side. The food didn't take very long to come out considering how busy it was and gave us the perfect amount of time to talk. With larger parties, service will likely seem instant. Clean bathroom, great mural outdoors, I absolutely recommend and definitely had a great time here.“

“had eggs jaqueline. was superb.“

“I Love the burgers yummy,, the staff so nice ..“

“They never fail. Been going here since I could reach the steering wheel with my dad, and they are still here with the danger quality burgers. Can't fix what was never broken. If you say the service is bad there is something wrong with you. It's a burger joint that's been here and held its ground since before I could walk. I honestly believe my parents met here... or kwik way but you wouldn't know anything about that either. Fact is get your burger and go and be happy is not mickyd. They keep it simple. Less talk, more order your food, it's the town so don't get crazy cause we got they back! I love yall burgers yo lol. Anyways... this burger joint mug not be for your generation...“

“Kids and I love stopping by for a sweet treat. Mario always gives us the best recommendations for the shakes. He is always nice, ready to answer kids' million questions. Inside is always clean, looks really cool, and love how they embrace the hyphy culture. Drive-through is pretty awesome, too.“

“Oh my!!!. One of the best Bacon Cheeseburgers myself has had in a long while!. Love this Emil's Burger & Breakfast!!!. GO!!! JALAPENOS!!!.“

“Lady E was in full effect last night! I love the ambiance here and the bathroom was clean and orderly. Bartenders made good drinks. The shoestring fries were a bit too crispy...but they were good. Well seasoned. The live music 🎶 here sets the mood. There is some dusting needed up in the rafters and ceiling area and maybe a deep cleaning in the near future. Overall clean and I would return, especially to hear Lady E and her live band sang the blues 💙 🎶“

“I absolutely love this place. It is ten feet from new apartment front door and their food is AMAZING. Family owned and operated with amazing kindness and quality. I've been there just about every day since moving here and have yet to get tired of their menu. 20 out of 10 recommend.“

“Best BBQ in the Bay Area. And yet Bebe’s is also more than bbq. Live fire cooked and smoked meats and vegetables and delicious seasonal sides that balance the plate perfectly. And the labneh dip!! All at the best locals’ bar. What could be better?“

“Mangonada, nieve de garrafa, raspados, bionicos, tostilocos, tejuinos“

“Great burgers and friendly staff!“

“I've already left a review. A very nice well kept & Clean restaurant with a Cute & welcoming Ambiance. They serve Delicious Burgers & generous portion of 🍟 & milkshakes also🍺 beers.Their staff is friendly & professional.🥰“

“Pupusas are made fresh. Get your revueltas, or jalapeno y queso here. Takes 15 minutes or so to make so come ready. 2.50 for any pupusas. Tacos here are also delicious, comes with a lot of meat and very well flavored. 2.00 each. Horchata isn't super sweet which I like but cost 3.00 each.“

“I wanted to give it 4-star because of the price (which is a tad high for value), but damn if the staff here aren’t the cheeriest folks to me and my wife. I didn’t know burgers came with antidepressants because I always leave with a smile.“

“Actually Hatch Oakland is superb, good, clean and healthy atmosphere as well as good drinks 🍻 and decor“

“The Diggery Inn looks like a modest cafe, but actually it is quite exceptional. The service was great, and our breakfast was perfect. In particular, the blueberry pancakes were superb. And as a final delight, at checkout, KitKat bars are a take-away gift! It's really a great find.“

“Good vibes! Will definitely be back!!“

“Super fresh donuts, yummy breakfast, best burger in town. I got raised donuts, they are big and good price. Super friendly customer service. The smoothies are amazing as well. Fresh smoothies. Free parking lots. Quiet and clean. This is my favorite grab and go. I highly recommend this store.“

“Awesome vibe there in Old Oakland“

“This is really tiny little liquor store convenience store at the top of the hills of Oakland. The food is great but you must get it to go. There's no place to sit down. It is what it is. You go there and grab some tacos and you go back home or you get back in your car and keep on traveling. The food is good. It is what it is. It's a store with a taco stand in the back of it. I recommend it“

“Best tamales hands down. Before opening her restaurant, I was at La Finca asking where I could get the best tamales and they gave me her number. They were moist and full of flavor. Everyone at my party loved them. I’m so happy to see she has her own restaurant. You must try the food!“
