50 Best Burger Restaurants near Orinda

“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?“

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

“I live in the Plaza neighborhood and it is so nice to have a quality burger joint in walking distance. They literally have any conceived burger combination you could possibly want. The people are fantastic and polite. Of course the food is always incredible.“

“So the burgers used to be AMAZING here but something has felt a little off for me the past few times I have gone. They’re still decent burgers but the past few times leave me not really wanting to go back… their ice cream and cookies are still great so no complaints there. I’m just bummed that one of my fave smash burgers went down in quality 😔“

“This is the closest food joint to the hospital and I’ve never been greeted with such kindness and warmth. The owner and even the cooks and other workers are so familiar with all of the customers. Their stories, their family, all of it and it’s so refreshing to see such a positive environment during people’s difficult days from the hospital. 10/10 to the owners and staff. Food was also pretty fire!“

“Takes a while to come out but it’s worth it!“

“If you are craving a burger this is spot is one of the best. Juicy burger, crunchy fries and delicious shakes and for dessert the new addition key lime pie. Yummm! The service is good and the store is clean. I’m happy I found this place .“

“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 🔥🔥“

“Had the best lamb I’ve ever had wildly enough and this green sauce thing is so good I wish I got 4 of them. There’s a 15 min wait on the lab kebab but I think it’s worth it. There’s an argument to be made if it’s worth the price, I got extra lamb and honestly no regrets. Maybe just a single portion for your fist time. Cheese burger also had a brioche/potato bun that was very pleasant.“

“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!“

“This location is honestly the best! They are great with their costumer service and pretty quick with handing and making the food which is a great plus. They are also very polite and kind!

(There's a cook in specific that's very very cute, just don't know his name fine papa lol 😩)“

“10/10 food and 1000000/10 service! My 13 year old brother went there and ordered his food, and then realized his debit card ran out of funds. The staff still made him his food, and gave him a hug and encouraged him to eat it!

He was too embarrassed and waited until I could come to the restaurant and pay for him. But the owner and the staff treated him like their own little brother, and was willing to give him the meal for free! You rarely see this type of kindness anymore ❤ plus, the burgers and BOMB !“

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

“I’ve been coming to Giant Burger in Pleasant Hill for a long time, and the service is always excellent. Today, Lupe took care of me, and she was incredibly helpful, friendly, and attentive. I truly appreciate the outstanding customer service she provided.

The restaurant is always clean, organized, and welcoming, which makes every visit enjoyable. Because of the great food, excellent service, and well-maintained environment, I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great dining experience.

Thank you to Lupe and the entire staff for consistently doing such a wonderful job. I will definitely be back and will continue recommending this restaurant to others.“

“Popped into here with my husband and we had a were pleasantly surprised at how cute this place was, how good the food was and most of all how friendly the owners Bryan and Kelly (I think that is their names) were. The conversation over their burgers on the cute reteo counter was definitely the highlight.“

“My picky husband really liked the veggie burger 😊“

“Wow the food ruled, I always get a strawberry milkshake they’re my favorite. My freind got a bacon cheeseburger and the buns of my sliders, he said “Sooo buttery, and toasty.” The onion rings were perfect, with the onion soft and melty in the center. Cynthia was our server she was so sweet and efficient, she’s getting things done !“

“Today we went to nations with my family and our experience was so incredible my children and my wife were happy to return to nations and enjoy the breakfasts and the delicious harvester and their fries we love nations for their variety of food and Jenifer has been great we will return soon“

“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“

“TAME [Original] Taramis“

“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. 👍“

“The service was amazing from start to finish, and the food was absolutely delicious. The cocktails were delightfully boozy and well-crafted, making them the perfect complement to the meal. Dessert was especially memorable, with multiple layers and components that came together in a unique and interesting way.

My only regret is not calling ahead for a reservation on a Friday night, as the restaurant was understandably busy. I'll definitely be planning ahead next time because I will absolutely be coming back!“

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

“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!!“

“1 this actually made my day. ordered a double cheeseburger and it was super messy in the besst way, juicy enough to drip down my arm but not soggy at all. the girl at the counter was nice enoguh to chat while my food was coming up.

would definately go back if i'm ever in the area again, it was perfect.“

“I have passed by this place on my way to Peets. (It's next to Peets). I ordered a kids cheeseburger and animal fries 🍟$22 . Not a bad price for 2 people to share. The kids burger was delicious I wish I would have gotten extra pickles for the AF. I'll be back.“

“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.“

“Fudrucker's has the best hamburgers anywhere...bar none! Even the buns they serve hamburgers on are extra delicious. And the Wedge Fries and Sweet Potato Fries are The Best! They have the best Fish and ships also. This place has a cool rustic feel to it, and a nice chill vibe! Don't waste your money on McDonalds, Five Guys, etc. If you want great quality, and big quantity too with a good value for your money...with a homemade burger taste....Fudrucker's is really the best place to get a hamburger. If I could give them 20 stars I would.“

“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“

“I received very friendly, efficient service from start to finish. I ordered myself a big breakfast meal, basically two servings worth, and received everything I asked for. With great, quality taste in every bite, I finished my meal with gusto. I look forward to going home with a fancy slice of pie, and as a neighbor, I look forward to my next meal here!“

“Family owned small shop.

I say 20-30 because realistically most people get fries and drink. But just normal burger and drink then 15-20$.

2nd time there brought the wife. She got normal cheeseburger with the fixins and I got the california avocado burger I think was name. Drinks and fries. Delicious. Hit the spot and very filling.“

“This place is perhaps more important than the refinery, jailhouse and courthouse combined. Extremely important staple of Martinez. Back open to 24 hours. Amazing staff great food, inconveniently located.. every town should be jealous. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“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.“

“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.“

“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...“

“Soon as I walked in, I was greeted with a smile and great customer service Rubal
Was very patient and helpful because it was my first time it smells so good inside and everything looks very clean. Couldn’t wait to eat. I definitely will be back.“

“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.“

“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 👍“

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

“Really enjoyed Bongo Burger! The Persian burger was delicious—great flavor and cooked really well. The fries were crispy and tasty, and the kabob wraps were also really good. Solid spot if you’re craving burgers or Persian-style comfort food. Will definitely be back!“

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

“Been coming here for over a decade! Literally the only place I know where you can find a Persian Burger. It’s the only thing I order and has tasted the same for years. This would definitely be my choice for a “Last Meal on Death Row”..two of them maybe with a side of perfectly executed French fries.“

“This place is a gem if you’re looking for big, satisfying comfort food. The sandwiches and burgers are HUGE—definitely come hungry or plan to take some home. The portions alone make it worth it.

The gator tots were a standout—super crispy and packed with flavor. You can tell it’s a well-loved local spot with a laid-back vibe.

It’s also conveniently located near public transportation, which makes it really easy to swing by. Overall, a great go-to spot when you want something hearty and delicious!“

“Delicious food and fresh ingredients, customizable burgers. I like their drink selection from local soda makers. Got a regular cheeseburger with lettuce tomato ketchup mayo. Cooked perfectly. Will come back to try the other burger “styles” on menu and their side dishes sound great too. Staff is friendly. You can tell the owners put a lot of effort into this, they have 2 locations“
