A good spot for burgers, fries, hot links, and more. Shakes and floats, too. Like a 1950s or 1960s hamburger stand. Definitely recommended!

Can't go wrong with classic burgers and shakes. The burger is a better version of a Big Mac and the malt shakes are extremely decadent.

Fast food drive-ins are from a bygone era somewhere in my childhood when my dad took us out in the Rambler station wagon and let us eat greasy food. Whiz Burgers feels like a throwback to that more innocent time since the building and signage look untouched since the Kennedy administration. I've passed by this spot hundreds of time without stopping. So why now? Well, I was snockered. I was staggering from whatever dive bar I was in, doesn't matter which one, and felt peckish since I didn't bother eating before imbibing. I decided to treat myself to the $13.96 Steak Sandwich Special Combo. That just meant it came with fries and a fountain drink. I just waited for my order at one of their well worn picnic tables. Boy, the passing traffic was sure loud. Oh right, I was wasted. They yelled out my order and I grabbed my greasy brown paper bag. Lo and behold, the steak sandwich was actually pretty decent. Iceberg lettuce, tomato, pickle, mustard, mayo, and meat slices that were actually savory (photo: I must've needed the fries for lubrication because they were the soggier kind, just the way I like 'em (photo: I may just come back sober. Oh wait, I did. FOOD - 3 stars...not bad, even the soggy fries... intoxication helps AMBIANCE - 3 stars...vintage drive-in without the speakers and roller skates SERVICE - 4 stars...the order taker was very nice TOTAL - 3 stars...nostalgic and calorific RELATED - Exploring the Mission?

It's OK frozen patties,overpriced, greasy frozen fries. Not cheap. Old fashion.. I guess?? Can't really get a burger likè that anywhere else...for realz??$18 bucks. I should have just bought some meat at the grocery store and made my own burger at home.I could have even thrown in some Chili and made a Chilli burger for the same price. In the middle of eating the meal, I felt regret....

It's a old school burger joint. It's changed and my food was a 2/5! No flavor and a lot of bitterness from too much mustard. I didn't like them. ??

On a tour of Bay Area burger joints, and Whiz Burger was calling our name next. Parking lot has a good amount of spaces, just wish it was a little better lit (but that's just the small, female wary of dark corners in me)Service was fast, I was surprised by the amount of options, and wow that banana milkshake and their waffle cut fries are somethin' else!I got a 1/4 jr burger with cheese, and my man got the Whiz. His was definitely better than mine, but that's what you get when you add avocado to anything ;PI think for future hungover me, I'd like to grab a Beep's burger & onion rings, then swing by Whiz for a banana shake & waffle fries.
