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?“

“George's Giant Hamburger? More like George's Genius Hamburger! This place nails it with their menu—tons of choices, but I went for the classic hamburger, and it was a home run. Juicy, packed with flavor, and exactly what you'd want when you're craving a great burger. My son devoured his, and my partner couldn’t stop raving about the beef bulgogi plate (yes, bulgogi at a burger joint—trust me, it's a win). The staff? Super friendly and on top of everything. I’m already plotting my return for the loco moco. If you haven’t been, what are you even doing?“

“My new favorite burger spot has been found! It’s not a millennial $40 burger with a side of “trying to be original.” It’s a standard burger place with a great selection of great burgers and sides. My mom’s loved the smash burger and I love the falafel. The staff were super nice and I can’t wait to come again.

Vegetarian options: The falafel is great! I got it with avocado and it added an extra layer of creaminess which was perfect.“

“My first time here. It was a last minute decision and I'm glad I came. My burger was so good. It was prepared well and tasted great. It wasn't done too fast, but it didn't take long either. The guts working were great; very friendly and efficient. If I'm in Oakland again I'll make sure to go again. I highly recommend this place.“

“Love the food and the community!!“

“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!“

“I recently stopped by Halal King and I was pleasantly surprised by the experience. Given that it's a take-out spot, the setting is pretty basic. It’s clean and well-organized, making it easy to navigate. It’s not a place to linger, but perfect for a quick grab-and-go meal. I tried their Grilled chicken with rice and side of salad, and it exceeded my expectations. The ingredients were fresh, and the portion size was generous. The flavors were well-balanced, and it felt like a homemade meal. The staff was friendly and efficient, taking my order quickly and ensuring that everything was prepared just the way I wanted. The wait time was minimal. Prices were very reasonable for the quality of food. You definitely get a good bang for your buck here.

Dietary restrictions: Halal“

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

“Sadly, the ice machines were out of ice, so I was stuck with a warm drink. Out of most In n Out restaurant, this is the only one late at night that has a safe feeling to it. In n out food is always the exact same quality no matter how many times I've had it. You definitely don't have to worry about your favorite order being different every time.“

“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.“

“The black and blu burger was the tallest burger I’ve ever eaten, and it was delicious!“

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

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

“Exhausted from our family hike, we turned to Google for sustenance. This charming restaurant welcomed us warmly, quickly seating us and thoughtfully switching the channel to a children's program.
Our server was kind and attentive. The food arrived promptly, and my wife was particularly pleased with her gluten-free bánh mì sandwich. Our children, with gusto, consumed their chicken tenders, wings, and fries. We'll be back.“

“My picky husband really liked the veggie burger 😊“

“Always happy to try out these diner style burger joints. Really hope they never go away.

We ordered their classic and Shroom and Swiss burgers, which come with 1/2 lb patties and fries, and their cookies and cream shake. The tomato,
lettuce, and onions are also stacked on the side (some people are picky with their veggies). Not the BEST out there, but the value is definitely there!

The owner seems to be all about the community. All of the interactions I witnessed have been positive with people from ALL walks of life. 5 stars from me. Catch y'all on the flip side.“

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

“The place is very dated but tje food was good. I had a double cheeseburger (no mayo or mustard), cooked perfect and plenty of fresh veggies. I didn't really care for the thicker fries but would try their onion rings next time. A bit pricey though, mine came to just a few pennies under $21.“

“A little bit more goes a very long way. This isn't a fast food joint. Come out, order, grab a table. You're good for at least half an hour.
I ordered my usual favorite, a bacon, cheddar burger. Best I've had in a very long time. It's definitely a chill spot to get away from it all. Seating is limited. Not ideal for groups of 4 or more.

Vegetarian options: I ordered fried zucchini... The best I've ever had.“

“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.“

“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 don't know how else to say this, and it might be a little confusing, but these burgers taste like the 90s! The food and atmosphere gave me so much nostalgia back to when everything was just simple and good. Reminded me of my childhood. You can taste the char from the grill and that signature mesquite charcoal. I don't even drink soda and I had to go back up and get a crispy ice cold coca cola to go with this food, it's just a timeless classic.“

“Repeat customer for life!!! The food is sooo old school tasting. The portions are huge. You food is cooked AFTER you order it and right in front of you. They take orders until minute before closing. When I walk in I feel welcomed and valued. The service is pleasant, warm and friendly. My ONLY burger place on the west coast for life!!“

“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“

“Stop here randomly and wasn’t disappointed the workers were super friendly and helpful and the food was great Im from Chicago and was hesitant on trying burgers out here and this is the only place that did it right! I had the BigE burger with Swiss and pickles. Price isn’t bad at all and well worth it!“

“Amazing! Food drinks and views“

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

“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...“

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

“Haven't been here in about 20 years. Was scared they would have changed quality or portions or the toppings bar. It was exactly as I remembered, if not better. That meat is incomparable. Makes 5 guys and the habit look like chewy thin gristle patties. The meat was so tender and juicy and everything was well seasoned. Got the Swiss melt and the mushrooms were thick and cooked perfectly. The Swiss cheese had a nice bite. Loading up on pickles was my dream. Bun fluffy and buttery. Fries were perfectly cooked. Best burger experience in years.“

“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“

“TAME [Original] Taramis“

“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.“

“First time we visit with my husband Nation Restaurant in Moraga, I always take the time to check the customer service ?‍♀️ and food of course ???☕But customer service is very important if you want enjoy a good time.Because although the food is delicious, if the customer service is bad, we will not return.On this occasion, we had an excellent time in these facilities, the food was delicious, hmmm my French Toast the best in the bay area. Let's say I'm a fan of them.And the customer service was very excellent, the lady in front was Rina and the others that I could see were Alma and Noemi. (I always ask names if I can)I am sorry for those who have had a bad experience in this place, I describe mine and it was excellent and we plan to return because we had a good time here.“

“Great food for a great price. The lady at the register was very polite. The food came out hot and delicious. Take out only but the food is that good that you wanna order takeout again and again and again.
“One of the best burgers I’ve had in a while” - my boyfriend“

“Bacon cheese burger is always my go to since coming here for 30 years. The only issue is the price increase. $12 for a burger makes me cook at home more often so it's also a positive. This location is a staple for the community so I support when I can.“

“The Santa Barbara... Mmmmm!“

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

“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.“

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

“Ordered a chili dog a little bit ago, and it was DELICIOUS!! At first I thought it was a bit too much cheese, but it was ? and I gobbled it up with a quickness. Very clean, pleasant and good service. Am very happy I took the chance. Oh, good prices too!!

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes, was easy to get in with my giant stroller, so a chair should fit“

“Good burger, especially for $6.99! Really good quality and size. Nice staff and service too A+“

“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!!“

“Screens at the entrance to place your order or a live person will take your order at the register. These screens were the easiest to use that I've ever found.

(On occasion I've given up trying to order at McDonalds and Habit because I found their screens too difficult).

I got cesar salad with chicken and avocado added, dressing is served on the side so it doesn't overpower the salad. Crisp fresh lettuce with no wilted bits. I ate about half at the restaurant and the rest at home. Sweet potato fries were very good. I ate all of those later as well. A friend got a basic grilled cheese and it appeared to me that it was prepared correctly.

Chairs make an absurd loud noise. Staff exceptionally professional, got me a bag and to-go lid instantly.

Make sure you TIP THE STAFF. They are hardworking and fast. You can tip on the screens and later, if you find the service to be exceptional (I did) then you can add additional cash to tip jar at the register on your way out

Plenty of clean, easy to use trash cans around. Very bright lights.

Wheelchair accessibility: Floor is smooth cement. I think it would be easy to enter using a wheelchair.“

“Amazingly delicious. Very filling and good vibe.“

“My sister and I just had a couple of Cali Alley burgers delivery and these things are good! Next time I'm in Berkeley, I will definately order again.“
