50 Best Burger Restaurants near San Lorenzo

“I love love love Classic Burger! My family went there for years, my brother, Irwin would drive from Reno to get a burger and visit of course. the whole family is wonderful!
My favorite was the Classic Burger with pastrami. Always cooked perfectly
Moved out of state about 6 years ago and I'm coming to town for a day, but it happens to be the day they are closed, I'm so bummed! I was so looking forward to visiting and of course having lunch!
Who knows, might have to see what we can do.
Either way, if you're looking for one of the best burger ever, stop in at Classic Burger.
Thanks Linda, Alan & the Van De Ven family“

“I haven't been to Wendy's in a long time so I was surprised to see the hamburgers were tiny, the little pieces of bacon were paper thin (I really had to look to find them and didn't taste them at all) and the frosties were not the same frozen treats that took forever to thaw. That's being said, I don't think that's a reflection on the staff who did their job professionally but I don't think I'll be spending my $40 at Wendy's again any time soon“

“I haven’t had a milkshake at Jack in a box for many years . They used to be so good but the one I got today wasn’t good at all. When I tried to drink it nothing would come up in the straw. I took the straw out and sucked the whip cream put . Put it back in and still no ice cream . I got vanilla and I never even tasted vanilla . All it tasted like was whip cream and it wasn’t a good taste . So I paid over $5.00 for a shake with hardly any ice cream in it . If I ever get a shake there again I will ask for no whip cream .“

“This is an excellent family-friendly restaurant. We have been visiting Dino’s for breakfast regularly, and this new location, owned by the same people, is a wonderful addition. It’s a great spot for lunch, dinner, or happy hour. All loyal customers of Dino’s should definitely give this place a try.

A note for vegetarians: they offer excellent vegetarian options as well.“

“Oh G Burger is a cozy place tucked on A Street in Hayward. With a wide seating area and bright, red, white and blue walls, it brings a more retro atmosphere, helped by the selection of 80's, 90's and 00's music. Aesthetically, it's somewhere between an old-school diner and a cafeteria, and I greatly appreciate that.

During my visit, the owner made sure to meet my needs in a timely and respectful manner. Ice for my drink was available on request, as well as water (and water cups). I noted that the owner was also very close with his regulars, but also willing to give a customer space if he felt that they wanted to be alone. It seems that management is in good hands.

On this first visit, I ordered the Hayward Burger combo. To be honest, I didn't take a closer look at the menu and just picked on the spot - almost none of the ingredients in the burger itself were anything I would have normally had. Based on its individual ingredients, I should have hated what I ordered... but I didn't! The combination of flavors made what would have been an unpleasant experience in lesser hands, a pleasantly surprising one. Even if I don't know whether or not I will order another Hayward Burger, it's certainly changed my opinion on bell peppers for the future. For that, I have to give a 5 star rating for the food - at any other place, I think I would have hated it.

I'll definitely be coming back in the future!“

“Delicious food, highly recommended“

“The Best Burger Ever ❤️ Love It 😍“

“My picky husband really liked the veggie burger 😊“

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

“Great place to eat before your flight. Located close by OAK International Airport. There are lots of free parking spaces available. Dining area is limited. No outdoor seating. Staff was friendly and helpful.

I got their original giant burger. It was good but there was nothing special about it. I'll come by and try their other burgers next time.

Tables need to be cleaned and chairs arranged. It was a little messy in there.“

“Delicious food. When I see a post that they will be coming I will put my order in soon as possible. Always accommodating. Will go out their way to customize or make your request. All I can say is I wish it was a permanent establishment. Especially since it’s halal, it’s mouth watering. One bite and your taste buds will be like “ where you been this whole time”.“

“Sparky's is a great quick lunch option. They've stream lined their systems during there busy times to get their customers in and out quickly. You can expect the same food quality every time. I got the teriyaki plater. I've changed my eating habits and have become sensitive to salt. Unfortunately I'll have to explore their menu to choose more healthier options. I haven't given up on returning.“

“In-N-out Burger in San Leandro, California is a outstanding restaurant serving tasty, affordable burgers, drinks, fries, and shakes. The location is just off the 880 freeway and in next to Walmart. There is plenty of parking and the restrooms are clean. Of course the burgers are very good!“

“Had time off due to moving to Castro Valley. With having to unbox and clean our new home there was no time to cook breakfast. Got breakfast at Nations in Castro Valley. Everyone behind the counter was welcoming and friendly and even reminded me by name. I ordered breakfast every other morning. 😁The food is so good and for a great price. It’s one of my favorite places to visit.“

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

“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...“

“A small hole in the wall right behind the main Safeway in downtown, but, it’s so good! The burgers are generously portioned and there is enough variety for anyone who finds themselves craving a burger but wants it to have unique ingredients. They have enough outdoor seating for larger groups. They offer a half/half of fried and onion rings, which we recommend, too!“

“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.“

“Clean and welcoming environment. Consistently top notch food with warm and personable staff. My guys Alex and Luis know my order by heart, even when I order online they have my bag prepared perfectly from memory without me having to ask! Great customer experience to have staff that treat you like a personal friend.“

“With a Nation's, you never know what you are going to get. This one was clean and the service was fast (which is not the case at all Nations). If you like good, juicy hamburgers or just like Nations, this is one of the better ones I've been to.“

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

“Been going here for years. Nice to see that they freshened up the place. Plenty of parking, pretty easy access off the road. Great burgers, most of the time the fries are nice and hot, in fact really hot
That's the way I like them . The burgers are generous for the lettuce and tomato and there are plenty of condiments. You can get sodas or shakes or both.
There are other locations around the East Bay, not as many as there used to, but they're all pretty much equally good including the two that are on MacArthur boulevard, one near High Street and one near fruitvale.
All in all, one of my go-to burger places.
Pro tip, have plenty of napkins ready or just bring your roll of paper towels that you keep in the car.“

“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.“

“This restaurant is always good if you’re in for comfort food like a great burger and a literal bag of fries alone with a nice cold shake made like they were in the 50’s! Overall great service and awesome staff that care about their customers! The meat is made all to speck in-house and aged for 24hours and the fries are steak fries made right!“

“Amazing! Food drinks and views“

“5 star but I really want to taste at a 1 solely on prices. Absolutely absurd. The average person cant afford to eat here. #4 meal is $16, but then you add $0.75 for CHEESE!! $2.00 more for bacon and $3 for avocado! And entire avocado from food max right next to here is only $1. The food is good but prices definitely not justified. Its a burger joint, not a fancy restaurant. I cant come back.“

“My husband and I love the melt! Shout out especially to Gabby and V. Gabby is always on top of her game, she even remembers our order when we pick up and happily gives our extra pickles and ranch:) V is always outstanding in her customer service, filling any request with a genuine smile.
The food is always fast, hot and delicious and never wavers since we started going often in during the summer!“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“my sunnyside burger was very good next time im going to ask for the fried egg to be cooked a little bit more but my meal was filling...thanx u!!!“

“Just a quick stop for a good burger and an ice cold coke. The service was great and, unlike Fair, they will let you use the restroom.“

“Amazing burger, amazing tastes, the best cheese burger I have ever had in Falafel flame Hayward mission blvd. I strongly recommend this area for everyone Best of luck Hashmatullah faqiri“

“Delicious burgers with options to suit all tastes. They have beef, chicken, and veggie patties as well as some without Pakistani spices for picky eaters like my daughter. They also have loaded quesadillas with fries and their signature spicy sauce which are amazing. They also have a good variety of shakes. We’ve had the mango and the Oreo Never Boreo.“

“The cook came out to chat with us! Yummy food!“

“We come by almost every Friday and have lunch at Cato's. The staff is extremely friendly and the service is top notch! It's always rejuvenating to be at Cato's and start our weekend with good food, tasty beverages and a few good laughs with the welcoming folks that work and patronize the Ale House.“

“It’s hard to find places like this in the bay. Don’t expect a culinary experience, but if you just want some good foodslop, can’t go wrong here. Chicken burger was solid, chili cheese fries were fantastic. Only wish there was some seating inside.“

“One of our favorite spots in Hayward for a quick and delicious bite whether in passing or planning to stay a while. Awesomely friendly staff and owners. If you haven’t been yet, please do yourself a favor.“

“My favorite stop when I’m home to visit.“

“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.“

“Amazing kebabs for a great price! For $18 you get enough for two people with leftovers. We tried the chicken and the lamb and they were both amazing. The kebabs come with a large serving of delicious rice, a pita, a cooked tomato and a salad.

Takes about 20 minutes to come out and there is no seating inside, but it was completely worth the wait!“

“The irony is don't eat here for their burger- I eat here for their teriyaki beef sandwich. It's is saucy and full of flavor. It's what I always get and I can't budge on getting anything else. The woman takes and makes your order so keep that in mind if you're time sensitive.“

“Best breakfast burrito in the east bay. We live in Berkeley now and literally travel here sometimes we love it so much. I get the veggie breakfast burrito add sausage. Also love the chicken club sandwich and veggie sandwich. This place is so good for how unassuming it is!!“

“Never thought I’d write a 5 star review for this in n out. I finally got a quality burger and fries from this place after about 20 bad experiences. I was gonna drive to San Leandro but I said let me just go ask the manager to make me a worthy burger let’s see if he can do it. Sure enough I order directly from the manager and he gives me a great burger with the beef cooked, fresh, hot, and fries were not too hard. They were soft and delicious and not cold. First time for everything. I recommend you order from manager directly at this location otherwise you’re in for the Hayward experience lol“

“This is a Bay Area classic. Food is made to order, always fresh and customer service ensures order details. I was born and raised in the Bay but reside in Atlanta now. Yet, every time I come home, this is a MUST HAVE and I highly recommend this establishment.💯“

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

“Where do I even begin, this diner has always had a special place in my heart. I say that because once I walked 3 hours to get here and back. Not only that but their breakfast special made it worth it. I’m also thankful that I get to take my dad here for brunch. My favorite breakfast item has to be the ‘love me tender’. Their chicken fried steak is to die for. Not only that but their burgers are especially delicious. I love the Jalapeño cheddar burger myself.Given the prices now of fast food now this Diner’s food is even more justifiable. Given the fact they’re very generous with their portions especially to regular customers which I have honor of becoming. I’d recommend this place in a jury of my peers. Or just in passing.“

“I Love the burgers yummy,, the staff so nice ..“

“Probably the best burger I've ever had, and loved the atmosphere.“

“Super delicious, 5 star quality. This is definitely my place for eats !!! Excellent everything. Trust me it’s quality food best of the best !“
