I have been there three times on the first Friday of the month before band rehearsal with the "California Repercussions", First time they shorted me Onion rings. Second time everything was fine. Yesterday 3rd time, they shorted me the extra bacon I paid for with my chili dog. 2 out of 3 = 66% fail rate. Not going again. Thank you though. read more

I used to work in Pleasanton in the 1990's and used to eat burgers here. Got the gyro for the first time and it was great. Chili cheese fries were just OK. Would definitely eat here again. read more

They fry in canola oil. Took our grandson to lunch, his fav is chicken nuggets but I can't eat at the major fast food chains. Luckily there is Athen's burger which has always been a reliable good place. It's locally owned and good quality fast food. Grandson enjoyed his oreo shake, chicken nuggets & fries, hubs had a cheeseburger & we shared onion rings, & I had a chicken gyro. Everything was fresh, hot, and yummy. You order at the counter & they bring it to you, drinks are self serve. Service was really nice & we didn't even know you could add on to the kids menu with a shake. I have had their fish & chip before, everything there is good, and they have weekly (or daily?) specials (today was lamb burger, beef barley soup, chicken caesar), and a lot of choices of shake flavors (including mango!). They also have veggie & mushroom burgers. The space inside is large good for team parties. read more

Amazing customer service and the establishment is pretty big! What I love the most is their chilli is all beef, with no beans. Prices are absolutely affordable, $10 for a cheeseburger and the patty tastes moist. The food is fresh and right off the grill. Chilli has no beans which I love! The beef is fresh and all natural. I took a few bites and was full shortly after. Will definitely visit again. read more

The blue cheese burger was delicious even though I should have asked for it to be cooked well-done. Fries were a good portion to share between two people. Cost was decent. read more

A solid casual dining experience. Our usuals are burgers and zucchini fries. Instead of a beef burger well done, it was a turkey burger this time which was over a juicy half inch thick. The zucc fries came crispy and enough for a couple hungry people. You're greeted warmly as you enter and receive super efficient service at the counter. The large black board shows specials and a rather impressive variety of shake flavors served diner style in a tall glass and the extra in the metal mixing cup, as enjoyed by a young child in a table nearby. Oh, the indulgences of youth! A few months ago I had the grilled chicken salad special with some fresh strawberries & blueberries on mixed green lettuce. I remember the grilled chicken being moist and large in portion. There's a bar at the other end of this spacious establishment and tall tables. Plenty of elbow room. If you enter into the first driveway, you might get lucky with a pull-through parking spot. read more

Been going to Athens Burgers for 25 years. It's my go-to "fast food" but it's better than fast food. Their gyros are my favorite. Love the sauce! The burgers are good too. It's this local's favorite. read more

At the rate I'm going, I'm going to turn into a burger. If I did, I would be in good company. When I rolled up to Athens at dinnertime, the parking lot was almost full. Considering the other businesses they share the little stop mall with, I knew it was for them. They attract a really divers crowd. Bikers, parents and kids, couples, seniors, and a group of men who looked suspicioualy like vets. I had to wait in line about 10 minutes. Not bad. Give you time to check out the menu. Had to wait for my food about 10 minutes. Also not bad. The reward was well worth the wait. Thick burger, fresh fixings, and char. Think burger king char about 1000 times better. The nest was well done, but not dry. Just enough toppings to keep things interesting, but not make it too messy. Lots of other offerings if burgars aren't your thing To include over 1/2 dozen different milkshake options. Everything I saw looked delicious. My mango one was creamy and cold in the front and all mango on the back. I went away full and satisfied. Something to note, the space is bigger thank you would think. My only complaint is it's really lowd. The staff moves at brisk pace, but seemed nice enough. I don't know why it took me so long to try them, but I will be back. Recommended. read more

They make excellent food! Their zucchini and onion rings are always a favorite too! I haven't eaten there recently, but the breakfast they serve is wonderful! read more

I'm not too big of a burger guy, but my coworkers highly recommended Athens burger to try out. First of all, this place is surprisingly big! I think they took over a neighboring business and knocked down the wall. So really big and easy to find a table. I got the Athens burger combo with curly fries. The curly fries were solid, it's like Jack-In-The-Boxes but with fresher oil? It just tasted cleaner even though it was equally greasy hah. The Athens burger was good. The patty was really chard, but the insides were still juicy. The veggies tasted fresh. It's a really solid burger, not the best that I've ever had. But it's a really solid burger spot choice in Dublin. If I were to compare it to anything, I'd say it's like a step up from Super Duper Burger. read more

Sorry to say, but I was not very impressed with our cheeseburgers that we purchased. Food was fine, but not outstanding... I don't understand people's raving about how delicious their burgers are... Like another customer mentioned "it got the job done but nothing outstanding". read more

I've been coming here since they first opened in 1995! The quality of the food has stayed consistent since then! Great food and great staff, it's a small town diner made for families. My favorite is the pastrami hamburger and onion rings! Amazing quantity of pastrami and awesome quality. I'm always happy to support small business. read more

This place is a Dublin CLASSIC! It has been here forever and the food is what you'd expect at your local hometown diner. The service is great and the workers are extremely kind. I came here with my family on a rainy saturday afternoon and it was decently busy! I got the cheeseburger with everything on it & shared a basket of fries and onion rings with my family. The burger is nothing special but it gets the job done. The basket is perfect sharing size for 3-4 people. This is one of my family's favorites, so I definitely will be back read more

Really good burger. It was big enough, and had good proportion of all the ingredients. It wasn't too greasy, yet still juicy and cheesy. It's surprisingly good burger. Best burger in the tri valley so far. The inside was kinda empty when I went and I did see a bar in the back that looks like it wasn't used. Will be coming back. read more

This place is relatively close to my fire station, so we will stop by here occasionally if we're unable to cook for ourselves. Really good menu, quite good food too. The storefront is quite deceiving; in the strip mall, it looks like it's tiny. When in fact, it's quite spacious and very nice on the inside. The guys working there are rather friendly too. Great place if you want a burger or something else. Give them a shot!! read more

This is my go to restaurant from now on. They have so many great options besides a great hamburger, The menu never lets me down! My Default order is a Double Bacon Cheeseburger, but I'm usually torn between the Gyros and Salads. I can't complete my order without the Zucchini Fries, trust me! Aside from the Great Food the Service is always fast and friendly. To top it all off, they have a huge area that can reserved for large parties. We've been using it for post youth sport games hangouts read more

I grew up going to Athen's. It is a core childhood memory and how my parents convinced me to go to church. Highlights- Counter service. Huge portions. Delicious food. Fast service. Tons of indoor and a few outdoor seating options. The zucchini fries with housemade ranch is a menu standout. We often have family parties and order multiple orders to enjoy. Everything is delicious- you can't go wrong with the burgers, BLT, chicken sandwiches, fries, etc. I hope this family owned business continues for generations to come! Thank you, Athens! read more

It's a 3.5 for me. Was craving a tuna melt so did a quick search on DoorDash delivery. I ordered from this place also because the variety of sides. The food and ingredients all seemed like good quality and fresh. The tuna melt was a tinge too salty and could've used some pepper and maybe even diced celery. I couldn't tell if they forgot the cheese or used a really really thin slice of cheese because it seemed to be missing with no melty cheese stringy pulls at all when I split the sandwich. I ordered the combo basket of mushrooms and zucchini. it was a good quantity of both, but lacked flavor, including salt. with that said, I'd rather have something fried be bland, than salty, since you can just add s&p but can't ever take saltiness away. they would really benefit from throwing their sides in a big silver bowl and tossing with s&p after frying. I did this just after popping them in the air fryer real quick so that tossing in seasoning would stick. Everything was packaged well and came with a couple sides of ranch. read more

Found this spot searching on Yelp while waiting to race at the K1 down the road, checked out the menu and decided to give it a try. What drew me here was the no-frills diner look, and affordable prices. When you arrive, you'll grab a menu and order from the counter. From there it's self seating. For me, I've been on a tuna melt kick, so I went with that, plus an order of the Buffalo tater tots. The tuna melt was really solid and a great deal at $9.50 for just the sandwich. The tots were good but the sauces and toppings needed to be distributed better and the sauce a little thicker. Still good though. We also ordered a basket a mixed basket of fries with regular and sweet potato. Those don't come salted and it definitely needed some. Overall, it checked the boxes of no frills, straightforward diner food at an affordable cost. It's one of those spots that it'll satisfy the craving without breaking the bank. read more

Decent burger, but nothing to write home about. If I wanted to order a HALF order of fries, it would've been over $20. The burger alone was $15ish. I get that I'm in California. The service was great, & the burger arrived hot & fresh. read more

I have rated this place recently, but it has been here for a long time. Ever since being here in the late 90' Athens Burgers has been a prominent feature of Dublin blvd. Like a traditional restaurant with modern features. Its a nice place for a traditional gyro, an old fashioned burger, or even a crab melt. Authentic onion rings and thick crispy fries, or I believe even curly fries regular or spicy. I am sure they serve milkshakes, and a number of other dishes. Its a nice place to sit down, with friendly staff bringing your order to whatever table you choose. It has ample space for larger gatherings in an area off to the main dining area. I believe you would need arrangements. So far everything has been great, I love the burgers but I typically get the gyro, can't resist. read more

The best! I've been coming to Athens for over 10 years and it has consistently been great! Whenever you walk in the door you feel like family. Tonight I ordered a full basket of onion rings, pesto chicken sandwich and a beer. The chicken pesto was grilled chicken with pesto sauce, cheese, sun dried tomatoes (I got no tomato) all on a Parmesan crusted bread and was amazing. The chicken was juicy and the pesto was very fresh tasting. The onion rings were fried to perfection! Not once did I bite any onion ring and get the dreaded whole piece of onion coming out. My beer was ice cold and very refreshing. If you want a great meal you can always count on, come to Athens! read more

The burger joint I have been searching for is here in Dublin. Being from Southern California there is no lack of food. In the East Bay it has been more of a challenge. Especially a good burger. The burger of my dreams has been found and it's better than I expected. It's a fairly sizable place in the unassuming retail plaza. It has a bar side with a bar and TV's for catching the game or scores. The interior is basic burger. Lots of space and open seating. Order at the counter you get a number and find an open table to sit. I ordered the cheeseburger and added bacon. Got the meal with onion rings and a drink. My husband got a cheeseburger and chili fries and a drink. First bite WOW. Second bliss! Not over complicated the most basic but unadulterated bacon burger. Cheddar cheeses not American! Great bacon not burned or undercooked. A bit of shredded lettuce, tomato and pickle. A bit of thousand and poof! Magic! I was way too busy devouring that burger to take pictures but next time, and there will be a net time, I will. In fact I may go right now. read more

Love this place. Great burgers and great service. Seemed to be family owned. Ordered the kids meal that usually comes with fountain drinks but they willingly switched it to other drinks options as my kids doesn't drink soda. Great place to watch sports as well as they have around 7 TVs mounted on the wall. read more

Great food, great Service, positive atmosphere, very comfortable and clean. I would recommend Athens anytime. Especially their bacon cheeseburgers, seasoned curly fries, salads, or their root beer floats. Always Big generous proportions & always been good! My favorite burger place in Dublin. Five stars for sure. read more

I haven't come back since they remodeled and the restaurant is totally changed now! They knocked out the booths, and added a bar and high top tables and low tables. I got a patty melt, fried combo ( fried mushrooms & fried onion rings ) but you can choose a combo of whatever you want. The prices are still pretty good, $12 for a large patty melt, and the fried combo was $10 but was more than enough food for 6 people. Great neighborhood non chain restaurant for diner classics. My friend also got the crab meat sandwich and it comes with real crab!! read more

came here based on local rec; a fairly popping burger place thats family owned (?) and has these comfortable, "nice to hang and chat" vibes. reasonably quick service/waittime, good seating area and a pretty nice variety on the menu. we got the double cheese burger and the blue cheese one as well as a combo of fried mushrooms and curly fries. nothing too crazy of appetizers, they're kinda plain and simple. the burgers however were nice and juicy. its not an "out of this world" burger but it definitely has a homey touch on it and rlly hits the spot. im likely to come back to try other things on the menu read more

This was my fourth or fifth time going and I'm always happy with the food. Their burgers and sandwiches are excellent but let's be honest i go for the onion ring. I've always been happy with their quick service. There is a lot of room in the restaurant so you don't feel packed in. read more

I go here every time I am in the Livermore/ Dublin area. Great burgers and fries. Unlimited refills on drinks. Last time I went with the Philly. Pretty disappointing. It just did not work. I thought 5he meat was a little steamed . Having said that I will happily get the burger next time. read more

Found this burger place when me and my wife were looking for a quick lunch and we loved it. Unpretentious, clean and spacious spot. They focus in their food and you can see that. Blue cheese burger was spot on, fresh ingredients, decent patty and great overall combination of flavors. My wife had their Buffalo chicken sandwich and it was so juicy, plus the extra jalapeños that we added really kicked up a notch. The stars of our meal were the fried mushrooms, perfectly crispy on the outside and when you take a bite (I recommend eating the whole thing in one bite) all the juices burst into your mouth and the explosion feeling really made a nice food experience. Will love if they could add some sort of spicy sauce on the side. French fries were average, would've give them the 5 stars if they can get better fries. read more

Just had dinner at Athens a couple of evenings ago. My teenage daughter loves zucchini and she bravely ordered fried zucchini. We never had fried zucchini before Man, these fried zucchini were out of this world. They were delicious and crunchy, not soggy at all. Now, besides sweet potato fries and fried mushrooms, their fried zucchini are my favorite also. read more

What a huge space for a burger restaurant. It seems to be too big, there's tons of open space in the middle. I wonder if they can split it between quick service and a more sit-down type restaurant with full wait staff and bar. I think that would be pretty cool. They might even be able to fit in some live music on weekends. Anyhoo, ordered up some burgers and fries. This was my first time here, which is surprising given I pass by this place a lot. First the fries. It's a miss for me, but I know fries are really subjective. I prefer the thinner cut and more crispy. This one is on the meaty side, and also comes out not as crispy as I want. In turn, they do retain heat longer. No flavor, but salt is right there on the table. Burger is where it's at. I did you standard cheeseburger with whatever comes with it. Pickles, lettuce tomate, mayo, and raw red onion. I could do without the raw onion, as it tends to linger on me the rest of the day. Prefer the grilled onion and I'm sure you can customize it. But the actual burger itself was a hit. Tons of flavor, cooked perfectly. Not the biggest patty, but I think everything in the burger is balanced well with each other. Prices are high, but what isn't these days. Burger + fries + drink combo + kids meal/burger with $5 tip = $31. TLDR: Burgers super good; fries not so much read more

We've been here several times but now are moving out of the area, so this will be our last time. We were sweaty and disgusting after packing/moving. We needed real food, a step up from drive thru. I usually get the bacon avocado cheeseburger with onion rings. My husband switches off with the blue cheese burger, chili cheese fries and regular cheeseburger. Every time it's been delicious. This time I asked if they sold wine To Go. I remember during Covid this became a thing that restaurants started selling alcohol To Go since you weren't allowed to dine in. And alcohol is where they made their real money. Guy says of course, but I'll have to put a lid on it. No problem, it makes it easier to stack! I got two. My husband doesn't drink really but he was kind to carry one of them out for me so I didn't look like the drunk that I am. :) So I will always have a soft spot for this place since it gave me alcohol when I really really needed it. read more

If you're craving a fresh fish sandwich, this is the place to go! You order and pay first with the cashier. We ordered the fish sandwich, crab and shrimp sandwich and a combo basket of fries and fried mushrooms. Fish was super crispy and hot. The lettuce and tomato was a nice compliment to the sandwich. I really also enjoyed the fresh and crispy fries and mushrooms. They don't skimp on the mushrooms at all. Crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. I thought the crab and shrimp sandwich could be flavored more but it was still good! Quick service and the restaurant is newly renovated. Plenty of free parking. read more

Why would you every stop by a fast food chain when you have fast, affordable, locally owned-run, quality eats???? Burgers, their steak Sammie is fab, gyros, salads all the goodness! The service is friendly and efficient. The restaurant itself is huge and spacious, I love the open kitchen and grill area. This is a great place for parties and events, they have the whole back bar area available. Okay, let's circle back to my burger pics... I don't usually like to post pics of food with bites out, but I had to show off that tomato!! Omg quality produce, when's the last time you had a real tomato flavored tomato at a fast restaurant? I'm guessing never - I barely find them at the grocery stores. The prices are totally reasonable, I was in and out (punny girl) in 15 minutes from order to "to go", 4 burgers...fries and onion rings! Ohhhh and one order of each side fed my party of 4 w/leftovers! Support your local family restaurants please!! Their breakfast is also pretty epic. read more

A satisfying and well made casual burger. Ingredients, price, and atmosphere limit the potential. I can see why Athens is a local favorite. Service is friendly and the food is made with care and to order. The burger was satisfying. The one issue is that the frozen beef patty has a ceiling on how good it can taste. If they used better beef, it would really elevate it. Fries were also satisfying and made to order, but tasted as if they were frozen and not made in house. The prices are not particularly cheap. The restaurant is spacious, but feels run down and empty. I wish this place was either smaller and more affordable or bumped up their ingredients. read more

I'm getting near the end of my stay here in Dublin and the greater East Bay of the Bay Area. I'm glad to be back in the safe suburbs after visiting some sketchy parts of East Oakland looking for iconic old school restaurants. So, I'm wanting a burger or something like that, and my friend from Dublin, knows of a burger place that's been here open for like 25 years or more. Athens Burgers Restaurant is located on the older part of Dublin Blvd, as opposed to the new and shiny east Dublin area of new shopping centers and upscale stores. Old school burger place it is .... easy to find and no prob parking, unlike Oakland. I thought of a burger but they have a Patty melt on the menu, one of my fave sandwiches. I get that for $9.50 and my friend does as well. We get to go as it's a nice day to eat outside at a park or something. I can smell the Patty Melts in the car as we drive away. Wow, this is one good Patty Melt with the bread grilled perfect, crispy on the outside with melty cheese and a nice burger patty inside with grill onions. This is way better than that Patty Melt the Habit Burger Grill came out with for the same price! I was trying to be good and not get fries ... but now I wish I wasn't! read more

Then the burger, the burger was absolutely good. It tastes like nostalgia and a new experience at the same time. It was hella wild. I didnt want to keep eating because I didnt want to finish it lol.
