So true. Tried the bacon cheesy true burger and would come back for it again. Sauce is good, patty is cooked well , and bun is nice and crispy on the edges.

Angelica Dongallo

Love the panko-crusted cheese-stuffed mushroom burger and garlic fries . Wash it down with a custom shake (coffee with Twinkie mix-ins)

Alan H

I think I just found my favorite burger in Oakland . Wow. I love how customizable the shakes are... make mine a malted ! ????????

Simon Burns

Very smashed burgers - juicy, really craftily done. Great milkshakes too. All around great spot, feels like a community joint

Sherry Li

Very good burger . Just go and eat. Garlic fries and shakes are great too.

Raymond Anderson

True Burger Deluxe.... (Feel like Martin in the movt "LIFE", takin' a bite of the pie !) Burned my mouth, the cheese was too damn HOT! Other than that, I think I have a Valentines Crusher!

Eric Lanehart

Go deluxe: the burger with a deep-fried-smoked-mozzarella-injected on top. Have a whole dill pickle on the side to digest!

Michael Montoya

Cheesy True Burger was awesome. Fresh made patty and not over done fries . I wilm go back to kill my burger craving.

Kyle Will.I.Ams

Definitely try their specialty shakes . I had a Butterfinger shake that was heavenly. Ask about their Twinkie Shake too

Stephanie Te

Probably one of the best burgers in the bay . The mushroom burger is amazing.

Jenny New

Deluxe true burger was big, juicy, and so so satisfying

Alice

Get the Deluxe. Be mind blown by their fried portobello mushroom stuffed with cheese .

Crystal Conn

This place use to have great cheese fries ... They removed them from the menu, raised all the prices, and basically ruined a great place :(

Ellen McGrody

Really delicious burgers , super bomb milkshakes , crispy fries . A bit pricey !

Jason

Cheesy True Burger is great, but not sure it's worth the price (although that bun is killer). Plain fries are crazy generic though.

Jordan Ricardo

Not quite in Shake Shack's league, but a solid neighborhood staple for sure. Cashier recommended garlic mayo for regular fries and now I can do the same.

Mauricio Candamil

The bacon cheesy and the mushroom burguers are amazing!

Gabby H

Make your own black and white. Vanilla shake plus chocolate sauce. Dumb to pay extra but so good.

Shabihi Kojo Goldsby

The best burger in Oakland and the fries are good also

Caroline Faure

Had the bacon cheesy burger , this is so far the best burger I had!

Tim Haines

Fresh ingredients and perfect proportions deliver a solid cheeseburger .

Libby Lee-Egan

Best burger in the east bay . Better than a $12 burger at a fancy place .

Jose Hernandez

Nice burger ! Couldn't tell if it was aioli or mayo , but if you don't want it you havebto say so. Otherwise awesome burger . Fries just ok.

Sabrina Morgan

Their burgers are simple and genuinely delicious: juicy, fresh, and meaty.

Ana Gabriela Hernandez-McKig

The cheese fries have a unique ability of staying hot but still so delicious. Just wait a minute before diving in, or else your tongue may face molten cheese !

Ryan Block

Fried portobello , stuffed with cheese , on your burger .

Lyle Yarbrough

If you love garlic fries ... you'll LOVE theirs.

Keith

Careful: those fries are already salted. But where else could you get a banana coffee chocolate shake with'em? Wifi seems to be dead, though.

Francisco Noriega

Good burgers , a bit pricey , but double ups ate huge!

Monika

Custom milkshake : vanilla with orange mix-in. You got yourself a creamsicle shake right there, buddy.

Cassandra Dunn

The portobello burger is fine! Also, the large fills are terrific.

Khanh-Dan Tran-kiem

Milkshakes are great, and fries are crispy
