TL;DR - A good entry into the Oakland burger scene downtown, but with only 1 person working the grill, fry station and register, expect to wait during lunch hours.First, the service was really friendly but as I was the 4th in line and there was only 1 employee working the register, fry station, and grill, it took a while. The lone employee apologized for the wait, but honestly not his fault.The Sandwicheez burger was really good! Not quite my favorite in downtown Oakland, but I’d eat here again. The white roll was soft enough and a little crusty around the edges which was a really nice textural contrast. That said, this was a pretty wet burger.The American cheese was melty, adding saltiness to the burger in a good way. In fact, for me, the patties could have been seasoned a bit more and honestly, for this style of burger, I’m not sure that Niman Ranch beef was the best choice.Yes, the burger had a good, beefy flavor, but the patties lacked the crust that I really look for in a burger cooked on a flat top that is supposed to be on the nicer side. Given the price, which is lower than many other burger places in the area, this is an acceptable trade off, but I really don’t see what Niman Ranch beef adds here unless it’s the weight of name recognition.The Sandwicheez burger was missing the smashed avocado, or else I couldn’t see or taste it. After eating it, I’m not entirely sure what it would have added to the experience except for maybe creaminess, which might have helped to cut the aforementioned wetness.The fries were shoestring-style and fried just the way I like them; golden and crisp on the outside with a fluffy interior. The one downside of the fries was that they were all really short for some reason. And I guess it’s also worth mentioning that their house ketchup is Hunt’s and not Heinz.All in all, this is a pretty solid option, but would be better if it were staffed by more than one employee. When I went, that dude was working so hard, he had to ask me what time it was and was surprised when I told him it was nearly 2pm.From what I saw, because this one employee was so busy, he actually had to have customers pay for their food just as they received it, not before. Anyway, good food with a few minor things to tweak, but really pretty good.

Simply put, the best hamburger in Oakland for the price. Niman Ranch burgers, great fresh ingredients, fried onions, pickles, yum. And the prices are amazing. You pay half again as much for a similar burger anywhere else.

The burgers are delicious and have just the right amount of flavor to them! I have not been able to find a good burger shop with a good variety, but my adventure has come to an end! I would definitely recommend to try this!
hi!
I love the burgers I would definitely come back again! 100% recommended
They don’t sell burgers just over priced dry sandwiches! I paid $18 for the driest sandwich I ever had!

Not a burger spot, the owner needs to change the information on this listening. So far, this is the most decent sandwich I've had in the neighborhood.
