50 Best Burger Restaurants near Orinda

“Love the live music of the Ripplers And Secret Sauce!“

“I love Nations but it really pisses me off that the Management doesn't allow the employees to have a tip jar of every little bit helps especially now and it's not like they pay great either just average, but I did see a Giant Help Wanted sign in the window, hmmm I wonder why?“

“first time going here. A friend recommended and I was not disappointed! Burger, Fries and milkshake were soooo good. I will be definitely returning. I ordered for pickup but place looks really nice and staff were nice as well when I picked up.“

“Everything I had exceeded my expectation including curly fries. Bulgogi burger was intriguing but I had to try classic cheeseburger also.

Both were SO GOOD. Cheeseburger was rich, smoky, cheesy goodness with drizzling au jus just about every bite. And bulgogi burger… omg it is amazing. The sweet sautéed onion and then meaty saltiness with crunchy French roll. I took so many bites and wanted more. It’s pretty good sized burger too. I normally leave some buns when I eat burgers or sandwiches, but bun to meat ratio was on point.

Also, I couldn’t help but notice how spanking clean this place is despite looking nostalgic old school establishment. Tables, countertops, salt and pepper shakers, floor, chairs, ketchup spouts, etc all clean. No stickiness, no dust, no dried sauce.

Full of locals, attentive and personal service to everyone dining here. I’m not a local here but it’s worth coming back for.

Thoroughly enjoyed it.“

“I love Lana's! It's my favorite ice cream shop - so much so I went there for my birthday. The staff are super friendly and the flavors are superb. Banana Oreo and Lilikoi (passion fruit) are definitely my favorite. Shout out to the crew today for keeping my pint cold as I ate my waffle cone outside :)“

“Everything about this halal king kitchen was exceptional. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, and the food absolutely phenomenal. Every dish was bursting with flavour and beautifully presented.The wraps were amazing definitely coming back.“

“Atmosphere, customer service, prices and the freaking food is amazing 😍. Highest rated casual dining from Hayward to Vallejo! For good reason! This is a must if in the area. We will be back!“

“Dude. It's In-n-Out. What more can I say? Just Do It!“

“Love the food and the community!!“

“It was a drive thru, so take the atmosphere rating w a grain of salt. As a vegetarian, I don't come here often, but I drive through the tunnel several times a day and there is only so long one can resist the scrumptious smell of fried onions and all of the animal style goodness.
So, I joined the long line and grabbed a grilled cheese animal style, along with some fries and a drink.
The guy taking my order was patient, friendly, and thorough. The person taking my money was cheerful and smiling. The person giving me the food double checked to make sure I was being given the correct order and was friendly and kind.
The grilled cheese and all of the toppings is hit the spot. The fries were on the salty side, and the drink had the perfect balance of beverage and ice.
If you eat meat, your experience will likely be better, since there are so many additional options.
Go on the earlier side or risk getting in line directly out of the tunnel (stay in the farthest right lane).
Enjoy!“

“Fries were excellent, the hamburger and hotdog were not too bad either“

“I tried the double burger which is half pounder with caramelized onion and dill pickles. Every ingredients make a fabulous harmony in my mouth and the tater tots were “THE FINALE” I’m gonna come back for the Warriors Breakfast burger which has sunny side up egg on burger!!!!!!! And cheese curds!!!! Gotta check this place frequently. Love can’t describe this place, I wanna gate-keep this place.

Kid-friendliness: Server shows enormous love to kids. He becomes crown for them all the time“

“We come here fairly often and really enjoy the food (steak frites, burger, burrata and salads are amazing) and cocktails. Unfortunately every time the thing we lament is the wine selection - neither of us have ever had a wine here we enjoyed, and we’re fairly easy to please with middle of the road options. The dessert menu always seems to focus on a lot of tarts, which isn’t our jam so we never have tried dessert despite many trips here. If they updated their wine menu this place would easily be five stars and my favorite restaurant on the island.“

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

“Delicious food, highly recommended“

“My son and I just had lunch at this place. The workers were very friendly and welcoming. The restaurant was spotless. The food was oh so good! I had a bacon cheeseburger and onion rings. Next time I am in town, I will definitely go back again.“

“Great burgers, shakes, and pies, when you get the craving. This place is great, they are open late, it's clean, food is made fresh to order. The head guy Cesar is great, always friendly and aims to please the customer with a smile. I wish more places had helpers like this. If you're in Moraga, stop in.“

“GREAT FLAVOR IN ALL 3 BURGERS SELECTED .⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“My picky husband really liked the veggie burger 😊“

“Hella lit. Great taste and awesome prices, the salt and pepper fries are delicious too. Very happy that West Oakland is getting some food joints, and not just more weed dispensaries.

Kid-friendliness: Kids were there after soccer practice/or a soccer game“

“Line out the door. Lobby was standing room only. Drive thru was 35 cars deep. The staff and service was the same quality as always. 👍“

“Great “mini” burger but mini is a misnomer“

“When you're in the mood for an old fashioned burger, this is the place to go. Classic burger with tons of flavor and I need to give credit to the man on the grill. He takes his time preparing the burger so you never get never get a sloppy burger, just quality and love that go into these burgers.“

“So amazing! This place always brings back my great memory. When I came first time to Oakland 25 years ago, this place was my first time to have a real hamburger in my life. And after many years, the taste never changes. Actually better every time I come again. I love this place so much!“

“I drove by a handful of spots and places looked shady. Decided to stop at Seawolf for a beverage. Ended up ordering a cheese ? and added ? from Willie’s kitchen. It was surprisingly really good!
I’m Always looking for a good spot when I’m on the road, and I will be back to this place..

I should’ve taken a photo! ?“

“I have heard about this restaurant from friends so I went to try it, it is a sit-eat-and-go place I have tried the Persian burger and it taste good it looks like a kafta kabab taste. As a Lebanese and food lover I was impressed with the hummus the taste was good but the Tabboule didn’t meet my expectations because you shouldn’t have cucumber and lettuce as also it needs more lemon juice.
It was a nice experience, and I would go again if got the chance.“

“Good selection with a lot of options and they don't disappoint. It was my son's 1st time and he loved it‼️“

“Goodness! The food's good even if I let it get cold!
Also service is lightning fast!

They were even able to help reccomend me options when I had and injury that prevented me from using one of my hands to eat! And that's just...really cool.“

“Had my kid's bday dinner here with large group. Food was delish as always and environment was clean. Kids had a great time at arcade. No one made us feel rushed to leave and we stayed for a while!

Oh and Jesse (cashier) was THEE BEST! Management needs to acknowledge him with a bonus/raise! Reach out to me for more details.“

“It was surprisingly good, I have not been there in many, many, many years. It is still close to the old days...I'll be back...

Parking: It a big lot with plenty of spaces.

Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs just roll up ti the windows...“

“If you are interested in old school burgers where you can still order medium rare, and the burgers actually come medium rare, this the place. The burgers are huge and of high quality beef. The price includes fries, but I like the fact that with a very small upcharge I was able to sub 1/2 sweet potato fries and half onion rings, also very good and made to order. Finally, their milkshakes are great. I took one star off for atmosphere, but that’s because there was a basekball game going on and was a bit loud; however the other patrons were watching the game so I can’t really fault them. The guy that runs the place is always so friendly and appreciative of my business.“

“TAME [Original] Taramis“

“Ordered online and received the food immediately after arriving. I asked for a holder, and they took a box with a little bit of ketchup packets and emptied it and placed my drinks and food inside. The food itself was amazing, large portions, plenty of flavor. 10/10 would recommend.“

“The saleswoman is nice but the ambience is terrible. It feels like a McDonald's. The citizen, on the other hand, is really delicious.

Vegetarian options: There are, among other things, vegetarian burgers.

Wheelchair accessibility: I think the doors are wide enough for every wheelchair user“

“It's one of my favorite places! My Hubby's too! We've been going for years. This time, my Double Bacon Cheeseburger was a little dry. By that, I mean the patties. It was also a bit hard to eat the next day. The bottom bun kept sliding off, as well as the lettuce, tomato, and onion. But still DELICIOUS.
I also got a Mocha Milkshake. Wow! Maybe the best shake I've ever had.
Plus, I got the fried mushrooms, which were quite good as always. You MUST try this place!“

“Food is always good. Can’t go wrong 😁👍🏼“

“When you order 3 whole pies online and pay in full at that time, 6 hours prior to your pickup time, then you arrive to find out they don’t have one of the flavors you ordered - it’s not right. Someone could have called and said they were out of that particular pie. They had plenty of time to let me know (6 hours) but I had about 3 minutes in line to pick out a replacement. Disappointing. I will say that the pies were delicious even though we didn’t get the one we initially ordered.“

“Vegetarian options: They don’t have really any vegetarian options that come to my mind but nothing was gross. It was all so delicious I would definitely recommend! ?

Parking: The parking lot is located mainly in the back of the restaurant and it is shared with another business next door so if it gets busy there are a limited number of spaces to park in.“

“The melt just might be my new fav in Oakland! The food was outstanding, everything was fresh. the burgers were juicy even without mayo and I love mayo.. spicy melt sauce sooo good! and can we please not forget about the service 10 out of 10 babyyyyy Shay is that girl! She definitely made us feel welcomed and well taken care of. The staff is amazing thank you again!“

“The Santa Barbara... Mmmmm!“

“Good food. Of all the Nation’s I visit I always like the hamburger here best! Cooks are top notch! Bacon cheeseburger patty cooked perfectly and very juicy, bacon was just right, cheese perfectly melted and overall burger was very delicious. Pies are a must. My dad loves cheesecake. Brought home blueberry cheesecake, everyone dug right in, eating it out of the tin!“

“Amazing! Food drinks and views“

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

“Ballpark chaser and saw this place and the ratings. Parking was convenient, place was empty but the service was great. We were told they were only doing To-Go orders so they could close early, otherwise they'd get a 5 star review.
Got the double burger all the way with pepper jack and it was absolutely delicious, curly fries were great, regular fries were ok.“

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

“Their cheeseburger was what you'd expect a standard cheeseburger to be, simple classic, and tasty. It was a fresh, well put together cheeseburger, not big and heavy, greasy, or sloppy like other burgers out there. I didn't feel guilty about eating this. It came with fries included. The fries were nice and hot. Wait time was a bit longer than expected, but the end result was a delicious meal. The restaurant and kitchen appeared to be very clean. Staff was friendly and kept me updated on how much longer the wait would be.“

“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“

“Pretty good!! First time eating here!!“

“Amazing staff and teh best burger in town!“

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