Oldie and a goodie. Burgers and curly fries are very good here. They've been in business for at least 40 years and haven't lost their touch. I'd give another star if they managed their outside area better. People hang out there begging and selling. People have been shot there in the past. read more

Classic burger spot, you order at the window. Few seats to eat outdoors. Got two cheeseburgers chili cheese fries order of onion rings with tip for about 39$ went for lunch and only took about 15minutes to get my food. The portions were actually big for what I got. I personally really loved the crunch on the onion rings and how big and how much we got. The cheese burger was nothing crazy but it was good it reminded me of a burger you get at a family bbq. I'd pass on the chili fries it was definitely missing something. I definitely will come back to try other menu items. read more

This is one of the few dining places in this area with a parking lot. It's easy to miss because of the deep lot, but it's nice to have parking to order a quick bite to eat. Came here for the first time and parked my car and ordered at the to-go window. There is no seating indoors (although it seems like the could fit a few tables inside). There are a couple of picnic tables outside out front as well. I ordered the veggie burger and the cheeseburger and a side of fries. The fries stayed crispy during the 20-minute drive back, which was surprising. The fries have the fry seasoning, which we really like. The food was done in under 10 minutes and we really enjoyed our food. The veggie burger had a lot of flavor and looked like it had some type of grain, mushrooms, and other veggies that weren't overpowering. I don't think I saw beans in the patty. My partner really enjoyed his cheeseburger as well. The place is a mom and pop place owned by folks who know how to make a great burger! We would definitely return. They also have breakfast items such a a French toast here as well. read more

Read the reviews and how it's a legendary spot so I had to go. When I got there, restaurant looked a bit out of date but did feel nostalgic. I have to admit, I was a bit skeptical, but gave it a shot, afterall, I'm game and am open to a new experience. Burger was really good, and fries were crinkle cut and great. They gave a HUGE portion of fries. Price was about average to slightly above average but well worth it. read more

Food was indeed great. Sadly we are outside with all the street music, it was very loud. Too bad we couldn't eat inside the spot, it looked like they had room but the doors were locked up. Would've been better to take out and eat at home but we're not from this area so we had to eat there. Food was yummy and worth coming back too. read more

I came back and ordered a cheeseburger and a pineapple shake. Food was done within 5 minutes, and there is some seating outside the restaurant. Cheeseburger: It was pretty good, there wasn't anything that stood out to me as particularly unique, but it was solid. It's a fairly small burger and did not come with sides, however, so it may not be filling enough to be a whole meal. Pineapple shake: It had strong dairy flavor with tiny pineapple bits in it. It was not as pineapple-flavored as I had expected, but if you're a dairy lover and like stuff like yogurt or ice cream, you will probably enjoy it. read more

Always a great stop for a quick burger. Their burgers are freshly made and come put to perfection. We get the double with cheese and split it. The crinkle fries are also good. Not too salty and need ketchup to give them flavor. Serve is quick and they ring the bell when your order is ready. This time they have tables and chairs to sit about and eat your meal. This was a first. Usually we just eat in our car, as we are on the go when we stop here. The area is a bit sketchy. The parking lot was almost full with non customers. They were just in their cars on their phones. Right outside the lot is the park and people are always having out listing to there tunes. Some even bring there own chairs so they can sit next to their car. We've never had trouble when we were there, but it's still questionable. read more

Have only been here for curly fries and my order came hot quick and was nice and hot. Will be back to try other items.

Good cheese burger with all the fixings, sociable counterman. Yelps 85 character minimum is really annoying. Dining room closed read more

Ordered via phone a cheeseburger, double cheeseburger, curly fries, regular fries, and chicken strips. When we arrived 20 minutes after calling in order, we had to wait a few more minutes for our order. I asked for ranch and ketchup which they do have. I really enjoyed the cheeseburger, but wish it was less salty. The fries were my favorite! The chicken strips were good, but also a little salty. Didn't get a milkshake, but would definitely go back and try other items on menu! read more

Living in the area for nearly a decade this is a burger spot staple i've seen while driving/walking along Grand Avenue, but I never stopped in. A few weeks ago I decided to stop by and try the pastrami burger. I had a hankering for fries too. As much as I love fries, those weren't as memorable as the pastrami, nor should they be. I love nice cut pastrami without loads of fat on the edges and in between the meat. It's a nice sized sandwich, and it was a reason I didn't get a burger. The sandwich met my expectations. I'd come here again in an instant. read more

Delicious food, very friendly staff, and very affordable. Food came quickly and was hot and just as ordered. Excellent real ice cream milkshakes as well. Really can't ask much more from a place like this, good food, good quality, good service, and good pricing. Best burger in Oakland, they're the only place I've found that uses crisp whole lettuce and not limp shredded lettuce. Finally a burger with crunch! read more

8/10 been coming here since my pops brought me here after an AAU Tournament and any time I'm back in Oakland and want a burger this my go to

.... customer service.Originally Awesome. I revisited this place the other day, got a basic cheeseburger/fries ( in that brown bag) lol... it's been decades since, back in the day, daughter was toddler, and we were able to back then sit in, have a nice grub, after a nice day at the park since our last visit/// she's 24 now/ im a grandma/ I'm 1.2 seconds away from 50... Anyway.... I revisited.... the other day... oh Man! Still the same no more "dine in"...‍ the food/service for the "un boogies" / for the Boogies "Live A Little".... The Spot read more

Food safety is huge for me and this place seems to have questionable food safety practices. Ordered a basic cheeseburger and found a dead, slightly squished fly on my lettuce that seems to have been there for quite some time already. It is also now outdoor seating only which alarms me even more because I'm not able to see what goes on inside. Yelp's health score showed a conditional passes both in 2021 and 2022 with a bunch of health violations. Aside from the fly, the burger was decently stuffed and had good flavor. Pricey, but forgivable for Lake Merritt area. Outdoor tables are dirty and appear unmaintained since I didn't see any staff walk outside. I'm not sure if the tables belong to Ahn's specifically. Overall, Ahn's has a lot of good things going on, but will need to step up their food safety game for me to be a repeat customer. read more

This is one of my 2 top go to burger joints in Oakland , great burger , great shakes and gotta love ahn she is very sweet and always happy to see you read more

Original prices made sense. 10 dollars for a cheeseburger is an affront to cheese burgers. Considering there's no ambiance or much service opportunity, price should reflect. Also, the prices on Yelp do not reflect the prices in person, and should be corrected. Every single item except a grill cheese is $8.50 or more. Insanity. read more

It's has been along 10 years since I have not ate a Ahn's quarter pound burger and let me tell you I did not disappointed me. It still taste as the last time I ate one. Super juicy and love the freshness of the lettuce and tomatoes. read more

This place has been around for a long time and I have never tried them. It's a simple burger joint with a few outside tables and a small parking lot. It's only take out, no indoor dining. I had arrived early, no crowds to beat, pulled up and parked upfront. Placed my order at the window, one big burger, fried and medium Diet Coke. There was a couple of orders ahead of me. Waiting in the cold, it felt forever for my food to be ready. After a phone order pick up, a bell rang, my order was ready. It came in separate bags, one for the burger and the other, the fries with the katsups and salt packages; and of course my drink. Drove to a nearby park to eat. The food remain hit. The burger fully dressed had a heavy mustard and onion taste which was fine. The fries were plenty with the crinkle cuts. Overall, a decent visit. read more

This place appeared on Reddit as a popular go-to for a burger in Oakland. I had their Cheeseburger with fries and a drink. It's a decent burger, but I would not categorize it alongside TruBurger. This is more of the people's burger, while TruBurger is more on the gourmet/designer side. Crinkly cut fries were great. Their brand of ketchup was just okay. I gave it 3 stars because the spread is mayo and mustard, and I'm more about the ketchup combination. The Asian lady working there was super friendly. I'd return to support local businesses. read more

I was a kinda hungry and just lookin for something cheap and quick. This dog was 5.55 and I did not expect to get as much as I did for my money. It was a long sausage cut sandwich style with mustard relish tomato and onion. Can't beat that for the price! read more

I want to like this place so much. But I just can't. I love it when places like this survive gentrification somehow & stay consistent while everything changes around them. But only if it's good. I have tried this place multiple times. I have read the positive reviews & given this place multiple chances. I don't get it. All the positive reviews must be nostalgia or something. 'Cuz this place is just straight up NOT GOOD. It's not even mediocre. It's just plain bad. The burgers are dry & bland. The fries aren't terrible. But they're not fresh cut or anything. They're just... fries. I'd go back to try a milkshake. But the food is straight up boring. read more

Great service good food . Call ahead and get your order started before you arrive. Outdoor eating only

Food: 9/10 Service: N/A takeout only during COVID Value: 8/10 Portion: small- medium First time here! It been here ever since I can remember. And we always pass by saying we will try it and this time we did! Hubby and I got the pastrami burger and bacon cheese burger. The pastrami burger was amazing! We both really liked it. It was a unique flavor, meaty and delicious. The bacon cheese burger was also good but the bacon coild be a little more crispy. I will definitely be back because the prices are good and its delicious. They were a little small. Hubby and I also got a side of crinkle cut fries (which were good and crispy) but there wasn't that much and we also ate some more at home! Haha maybe just us but yeah next time maybe we will order 3 burgers and share the 3rd one! But yes for the price (2 gourmet burgers and fries for $20) I would definitely go back! read more

Been coming to Ahn's for over 2 decades and the burgers are still just as delicious as the first time I had one. Everything is cooked to order and the quality of the ingredients is pretty top notch for a walk-up burger joint. The fries are crispy and they always give you a brown lunch bag full of them as your "side of fries". The milkshakes are killer too! (I'm a big fan of their chocolate shakes, but they have a variety of flavors to cater to your preferences). Service is fast, and reliable; they've never messed up any of my orders and I've been at least 120 times since I was a kid. Since COVID, they changed up the way they operate slightly, and you can no longer sit inside to eat. They have a handful of tables outside but most just walk up to the window and order to-go. If you're ever around Lake Merritt and want a burger from an Oakland staple, Ahn's is your place read more

Ahn's has been around a long time and I absolutely understand why. The food is delicious. I honestly eat here more often than I care to admit. I usually get a Bacon Cheddar Burger with grilled onions, a small fry and a Neapolitan shake. I spend approximately $13 for all of that. The food is made to order so there is a wait, but the wait is usually 7-10 minutes depending on how busy it is. The staff is usually very pleasant. I've never had a bad experience. And I love that they're open late where many other restaurants are closing early due to Covid. All in all, really good burgers. Fries are always crisp and delicious and I don't know what they put in those shakes, but I've tried a few different flavors and they have yet to let me down. Order at the window or call it in. You won't regret it. read more

A generous amount of chili on the chili dog. Tasty, seasoned curly fries. Friendly service, Asian-owned. What's not to love?! Come support these guys. I lived in Oakland way too long before finally giving them a try. I was only disappointed that there was no seating so we legit ate in our car and I was ok with that lol. Bring a picnic blanket and enjoy the food at the Lake grass nearby. read more

Food was aright but service was good. The lady is so nice. Everything came out right.

Ahn's Quarter Pound Burger has been hiding in plain sight: everyone knows where it is and what it looks like, but it takes forever for people to finally "discover" it. With its retro sign and no-frills setup, this place focuses all its effort on making what may be the best simple burger in the East Bay. And certainly the absolute best bang for your buck. Most reviews on Yelp rave about the cheeseburger, which apparently makes everyone feel like they've died and gone to burger heaven. But let me tell you about the good old Big Burger. It's the cheeseburger minus the cheese. This is how I like my burger when I'm trying it for the first time; it tells me if the primary ingredients (patty, toppings, bun) are solid on their own and are not being carried by the cheese. The Big Burger delivers on all three. I can only imagine how bomb it would be with cheese (that's for next time). It's an excellent basic burger (no crazy fancy ingredients), which is what I prefer when it comes to burgers. As has been noted, the patty is on the flatter side. I was worried I would be disappointed with the patty-to-bun ratio, but I was not. The toppings (iceberg lettuce, slice of tomato, sliced raw red onions, mustard, ketchup) were stacked on top to give it heft, and while I could see adding another patty would be great, too, I didn't find it necessary. I love lots of veggies on my burger because I like the contrast of cool, crisp veg and hot beefy patty, as well as the varied textures ... or it could just be that it makes me feel less guilty about eating a burger. (It's kind of like a salad on top, right?) Oh, and the bun! Slightly toasted along the outer edge so that some bites have a tasty, crispy accent. Once I got started, I was like the character Kirby, inhaling the rest. (Hence, no photos.) One thing to note: Ahn's Big Burger is best eaten on site or a short while later; it doesn't travel well, as the fluffy bun gets pretty soggy. TLDR; eat the Big Burger (or anything else) at Ahn's Quarter Pound Burger. I just had one and am already craving another. read more

I am a vegetarian who loves Ahn's! I'm only mad that I didn't try their food sooner, as they are clearly a staple in Oakland. The owners/people working are so kind and consistent and they also make your order fast and delicious! My boyfriend and I have been here too many times to admit over the last couple weeks.. Their veggie burger is the best I've had in Oakland and the prices are very fair! The burger itself is bigger than other veggie burgers I've had, and tastes soooo good with the standard toppings (lettuce tomato mustard and mayo). Get the curly fries!! They are delicious and always fresh. The onion rings are also a winner. I was so nervous to try this place as a vegetarian but now I worship Ahn's. read more

This place is owned and run by a nice Asian (I'm assuming Vietnamese) Lady. I like their Cheeseburgers and Pastrami Burgers along with the curly fries. It's not a fancy sit-down place but definitely gets the job done, I would usually order from the window and eat it in my car or by the lake. read more

I was born and raised in The Town, and Ahn's has been a staple for years. Their fries are always perfect - crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside, and their burgers have never disappointed. They have veggie, turkey and fish burgers, shakes, onion rings... oh my! Ahn's has its own parking lot, which is nice, and they are prompt. So glad they are still open! read more

My kids dental office is practical next door. And staring at the signage today, I remembered a conversation with a soccer parent... She grew was born and raised in Oakland. She said that this place was the best burger joint in town. That she'd walk over after school and get herself a burger, fries, and a shake. Do you see how happy my kid is in that picture?!?! I've ordered Chicken Strips and fries at other restaurants! And hands down, this is the biggest portion for the price. I was thinking I was getting have the size of the container... The chicken strips were crunchy on the outside, juicy on the inside. The fries were really crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Everything came super hot straight out of the fryer! The milkshake was delicious! It was so good that he yelled out "Mama Mia" and slurped it so hard he got a brain freeze. My other son got a burger with onion rings. The burger was seasoned well. And had the fire grill taste of a Sunday afternoon at the grill with family. Such comfort food. I think this may be a new favorite spot for my picky eaters! read more

Wish I could sit down and eat inside. I guess all these places would rather be to go windows instead of having sit down service....bottom line. Anyway burger, fries and shake for $16 is dream compared to most places. And it's a legit neighborhood spot. That's why I don't go to the melt or any other chain. Support local. read more
