Before buying here, check the comments here and I found people complaining about the service and the tax calculation so I decided to check it out and in fact, I ordered a burger with bacon which costs $12 and he simply told me I'll charge you $15 so the man who serves calculatesbel imposed only at the discretion of what he thinks is "fair" but accept after all it is a combo of hamburger, fries and soda and although the menu clearly specifies that it includes the soda he didn't give me anything and when I asked him if he would give me my soda I gave it to him. He wanted to charge separately, the food is not bad but you have to be prepared to deal with these inconveniences if you want to eat from this business

Situated in the middle of Oakland without anything exceptional but THE FOOD. They have the best burgers I've ever had (and I'm close to the definition of carnivore) the owner is friendly, simple, and really cares about the quality of the food he serves. The only real limit is the location and the fact that there's only one person handling everything by himself with almost no help at all making this place less popular than it should be.

The burger was to kill for istg. It felt like home cooked food, and is a great place for late night food runs or if you’re out at night. Sketchy area

The food was good, they were only accepting cash at the time even though it's had on the window they accepted debit and major credit cards. Employee was kinda rude to a different customer.

You would be better off eating the chew toy of a rabid St Bernard than exposing yourself to this pestilent offal
I expected this place to possibly be a hidden gem with great food from an unassuming food shack. Instead it was a hugely disappointing shack with misleading prices and mediocre food.I ordered the Giant burger with fries and a drink. Menu clearly states $10.99 + tax. Even with Oakland tax it should have come to a little over $12. He charged me $14! That means he charged me a tax rate of 28% tax! Oakland tax rate is 10.5% at time of this review. Where did that extra 18% come from ? Oh yeah he just made it up on the spot.Disingenuous marketing and poor food quality. Oh also portions are not Giant despite the name. Their normal size. My fountain drink was anything but giant. In fact it was a puny water cup standing at 3". Burger was bland and fries were dull tasting.I can't help but feel cheated from this place.

Stopped by this place to grab something quick and cheap before heading back to SF. From the name alone, I assumed this might have been a hidden gem locals know that serve delicious food at incredible value. Unfortunately, I was incredibly disappointed. I ordered the Giant Burger because I assumed 1) Burger was massive 2) it included a soda and fries. Okay cool I was craving a burger right about now and would like a soda to flush down the "giant" burger. I see the price on the menu and it says $10.99. I assume with tax it can't be much more than $12ish. The man working the stand said okay that will be $14. $14 with local tax!?? I did the math that would mean out of $10.99 he would have to charge me a local tax rate of 28%! No where I know around the bay charges a tax rate that high for food and services. Okay I feel like I might have been slighted by the exorbitant tax but I'll let it slide if the food is really bomb. I get the food and the burger is no larger than your typical burger . Probably 4 inches across. It wasn't savory or memorable either. The fountain soda omg was literally no larger than the burger. It was a measly 3" ! 3 Freakin inches for a fountain soda? Hello !? Fountain sodas are usually where these food stops are most generous with. He literally gave me an extra small cup for the soda. Fries were your typical cheap crisp and thin fries. Nothing to write home about. I go to fast food/burger shacks like these for quick, delicious food at incredible value. I didn't get anything delicious or anything of substance from here. I also felt the worker here purposely inflated the tax rate to increase the final price. As a customer, I hate feeling slighted or taken advantage of. I do not recommend anyone come here unless you like being served generic food and like being swindled.

I've lived around this spot for over a year and yesterday I finally decided to give it a try while I was doing laundry. An elderly Hispanic man runs it, he was very sweet, I ordered steak fries with only cheese, sour cream, and meat (it usually comes with nacho cheese, shredded cheese, sour cream, jalapeños, and pico de gallo) and my boyfriend ordered a plain double cheeseburger, the fries were so crispy and good, everything was very well seasoned. I'm very happy I gave it a try. This spot is more of a take out not dine-in, it only has patio seating, but it's west Oakland who would really like to sit here and eat on the patio with all the crack heads running around. But the food is very good.
