People complaining about something that costs less than a pack of gum is insane. The price is fair for what you get. Stop complaining. This place is better than most burgers which cost $20+ ... all I see are crybabies in the reviews. Go spend 3x for a $h!t burger somewhere else than. My God people. read more

I REALLY enjoy this place. And the price is an amazing factor especially during a time of inflation, so here's my honest review; The hamburgers are delicious. It is thin patties with onions and cheese with a sauce. I recommend the jalapeño hamburger. For the price I really can't complain, but it could use some seasoning, maybe even toast the buns since it is a little bland, but still delicious The fries are wonderful, they are crispy, salty and abundant, VERY REASONABLE PORTIONS(really for every product they have) you can get a cup of fries or a box with cheese onions and a patty The shakes, they are ok, they're really just vanilla with other flavors mixed in not well. They're not bad, just not great. The location is comfy and open, they are quick and nice, and the wait is never long 10 minutes at most. I saw another review complaining about how it's "too small to be able to eat there comfortably" so go to McDonald's if you're so rich for fine dining. 5/5 stars I really recommend to try to this place at least once. It is a solid restaurant with great service with solid food. read more

We liked the cheeseburgers . Although it could've used a bit more sauce. Service was totally straight forward friendly. Clean lobby area which is super nice. If you need any condiments or napkins you'll need to ask for it.. I might come back it's just a little out of the mainstream of everything in Gilroy. read more

For the price point, this is a solid option and definitely a step up from your typical fast food stop. I ordered the jalapeño double smash burger with the campus fries--was a little surprised (not necessarily in a bad way) that the fries came topped with a cheeseburger patty. The jalapeños added good flavor, but they did make the bottom bun a bit soggy. The fries could've used more of their "special sauce," which tasted a lot like Thousand Island and wasn't anything too standout. Overall, it's not mind-blowing, but for the price, it's worth it--and I'd come back again. read more

What a shock walking in and seeing the prices on the menu. At quick thought I thought it was fake? But this place is totally legit! Very clean and prompt service and the most important thing was that the burger was not bad at all! They give you an abundance of fries in a large cup which are really good and crispy. Overall this is a must go to place for a great deal on your meal!! read more

**"Five stars all the way! Campus Burger absolutely delivers. The shakes were incredibly good -- thick, creamy, and full of flavor. I went with the 4x4 and WOW... hands down one of the juiciest, most flavorful burgers I've had in a long time . Perfectly cooked, stacked, and messy in the best way. The kids had the double cheeseburger and they demolished it -- fresh, cheesy, and just as juicy. Great quality, fast service, and a spot we'll definitely be coming back to. Highly recommend!" read more

I didn't know that a smash burger meant to pound the patty so thin that it is almost see through. Seriously, I have had thicker Canadian bacon - these hamburger patties are a joke. What a disappointing experience today. I love burgers, and have been known to travel miles for a good burger. Sadly, this place is not the go-to spot that I was hoping for. In fact, I won't ever be back to this location or any of their other locations. The fries tasted OK ( after adding a ton of ketchup)- but were nothing to write home about. Their burgers rank right below ampm .or my kids school cafeteria in my opinion. If you must try for yourself, I would recommend ordering 3 to 4 patties on your tiny cheeseburger. I know it sounds gross , but trust me these burgers are the thinnest you will ever experience in your life. For the fries, get one ketchup packet per french fry and you will be good. read more

I really wanted to like Campus Burger, but the experience fell short. Customer service was lacking--staff seemed uninterested and not very attentive. The food itself was underwhelming as well. The burger patty lacked flavor, all while the campus fries had a lot of sauce, somehow they still tasted bland and overly messy rather than flavorful. Overall, it wasn't a terrible experience, but definitely not one I'd go out of my way to repeat unless some improvements are made. The upside is that they're new so the ambience was bright & clean. read more

Campus Burgers - Campus fries- over sauced. - Fast Food Near Me - Gilroy, California

My family and I were excited to try this place. Unfortunately, we showed up at 1:30 pm on a Saturday and were told they were closed with no explanation. Their door was fully open and there was a family who had gotten food eating outside. Not sure how they sold out of burgers in 2.5 hours if they opened at 11:00 am but it wasn't the best first impression. read more

Stopped in to try it for the first time. Not too bad. Friendly on your wallet. For two meals we paid $23. Someone had shakes and they looked pretty good. Employee was very friendly. read more

I really wanted to like this place and was excited to try the Gilroy location today. They pride themselves as the bargain basement version of In N Out but they are no where close to it. The prices are the cheapest for any burger place around. The taste was bland . I can make a better burger at home . They don't use quality beef. The burger just comes with cheese and onions which still had the skin on them and had a burnt taste. The fries were a lot in a large drink cup and they were inedible. The location is not the greatest part of town either close by a stretch of liquor stores. Service is friendly.,place is clean. The chocolate shake didn't taste like a shake tasted like cheap ice cream blended. If you're on a budget this is your spot. For a good quality burger with quality toppings this isn't it. read more

I ordered the #3 the burger was tasty. I especially liked the sauce and stringy onions on the beef patty. The restaurant staff were friendly and the restaurant had an efficient set up. The dining room was small but had plenty of seating outside! Excellent for what it is Gilroy needed something like this! read more

Super classic old school burger. Basically what I imagine McDonalds used to be when it served real food with real ingredients.

The food was great. Service was great and the staff were friendly. The concept doesn't quite work for me but that is a me problem not the business. No produce, those are the things I like. But the fries were great and the burger was really good. The sauce was a bit rich, but it was still good. Thanks for the great lunch at a reasonable price. read more

Delicious burgers for a good prices. It is a smaller burger but it's enough for me. My family and I all enjoyed the burgers. The fries had too much sauce I'm not sure who wants fries drenched like that but it was too much. I liked the extra burger patty with cheese on top to keep up with protein intake. We would return! read more

Was super excited to try this place but even with ordering a 3x3 you can still barely taste any meat that is overpowered by bun flavor IMO. The fries were a lil greasy but the star of the show imo The concept is there. They just need to work on the flavor of the meat and a different bun is all read more

Interesting place. Everything was very clean, the staff was quite friendly and the prices were ridiculously low. BUT, if I were to go back there I would ask for a dry double cheeseburger and add my own mayo or thousand island sauce and PICKLES! or maybe buy a bag of them to take home and doctor them up there. The meat patty was pretty good flavor wise but as thin as a political promise. I did not care for the sauce at all and in case you missed it I don't like burgers that don't have pickles. read more

Campus Burgers OKAYYYY -- THIS PLACE SLAPS. I ordered the jalapeño burger and WOW. Juicy, perfectly cooked patty, melty cheese, and just the right amount of jalapeño heat -- not overpowering, just enough to keep you going back for the next bite. The bun was soft, lightly toasted, and held up like a champ. No sogginess, no mess, just straight-up burger excellence. The fries??? CRISPY. HOT. GOLDEN. Exactly how fries should be. Paired with an ice-cold drink and sunshine? Elite combo. ‍ Everything came out fresh and fast, and the vibe is casual, laid-back, and welcoming -- the kind of spot you hit once and immediately add to your regular rotation. No frills, no gimmicks, just GOOD FOOD done right. This is the kind of burger spot you tell people about and then low-key regret telling them because you want it all to yourself. If you're even thinking about a burger, stop scrolling and go to Campus Burgers. Jalapeño burger is a MUST. Will be back. No question. read more

Campus Burgers - Jalapeño burger - Fast Food Near Me - Gilroy, California

Amongst the plethora of fast food joints in the Fast Food Capital of America lies a new contender for the crown, Campus Burgers. With its smash burgers, fresh cut fries, milkshakes and red and white lettering the newest burger eatery strives to take its patrons back to the simpler days. Upon entry I was immediately met with a friendly young lady eager to take my order. I quickly scanned the menu on the wall and while it wasn't obvious to me what was in the burgers I found out through simple interrogation that the burgers were smashed, sauced with cheese and grilled onions. I asked for one burger without onions which prolonged the encounter. I ordered three burgers, three fries and one chocolate milkshake. While waiting in the restaurant for my to go order it seemed cramped, like a place you wouldn't want to be if really busy. As more patrons piled in, the more awkward the waiting became, jostling to position myself to grab my order when ready. The wait wasn't too bad, about 10 minutes and the food was hot when received. Herein begins the real review... The Food The burgers reminded me of White Castle steamed burgers you get from the frozen food isle. The taste was ok but the meat was so thin I felt like I was eating a children's burger and that's a compliment. I've seen bigger children's burgers. The cheese was cheesy. The sauce was ordinary. The onions tasted like they were out of onions ring. Not exactly what I call grilled. The buns were huge puff daddies and almost made the experience comical just looking at this really thin meat stuffed between two huge burger buns. The fries were mostly an inch long and tasted good, thinking In and Out fries without as much salt. They come in a cup like Five Guys, a tall cup. So I drank my fries as it got halfway down since fitting my adult hand wasn't an option. The milkshake was ok. Better ones at other establishments nearby. Ideas to improve upon, Grill the onions a little longer Thicker meat patties Offer secret sauce, ketchup and salt packets Better location, if you're going to ask customers to come inside without drive through option then have a bigger inside and parking outside So in conclusion, I'd give this place 2.5 stars out of 5. While they're advertising the smash burger and cheaper prices I only noticed a paper burger. Not a great value IMO. It's not somewhere I would go back to because other places nearby do it better. For comparison I would give In and Out 3.5/5. However, if you're a local and can stop in when they aren't really busy and cramped then this may be the burger joint for you. read more

I've been told that Campus Burgers highly rated amongst burger aficionados around the Bay Area, and today I had my first taste of this notorious burger. To be quite honest I was surprised by the shear taste and simplicity along with the value, I have to say "I'm sold" the hype is real. Their burger is very reminiscent to a White Castle burger but larger. Value plays an important component to their popularity and I'm glad to see Campus Burgers found its new home in Gilroy. read more

Good burgers & good prices! Hopefully produce comes soon but it's good regardless! Very clean inside & love the vibe!

Campus Burger is perfect for what they are. Other review compare to standards of In-n-Out, although Red and White Interior makes you think In-n-Out. 5 stars for price, quality service, and proving Gilroy an alternative to $20 meals... you can walk out of this place full under $10. Definitely not trying to be the high end place. Should not be compared this way. read more

Brand new location in Gilroy so wanted to give it a try. Restaurant had plenty of parking and looked clean from the inside. Customer service was fine as I was immediately greeted by two employees at the door. Food was served pretty fast and so that made me question if my burger patties were in fact grilled after I placed my order. My food wasn't served hot and so the burgers may have been sitting there already. The cheeseburgers are pretty small and are pretty basic. Reminded me of a cheeseburger from a kids menu at Burger King or McDonalds. No lettuce or tomato and very small amount of grilled onions which makes the flavor to these burgers very dull. They should either drop the prices or improve the taste of the food in order to compete in this market. Unfortunately with several other better hamburger options located on 1st Street in Gilroy this will definitely be my last visit to Campus Burgers. read more

Its good when they dont mess up your order. Half the time im missing a burger or they didnt add something

Lots of options for burgers & fries. Actually way too many on 1st St. Campus on my first visit becomes the " Just another place" . Not bad but certainly less memorable. Lastly the French Fries need fixing and or a different style, brand or quality. Honestly none in my large cup were larger than a inch long. Reminded my of those shoe string potatoes youd buy in a can. Prices were comparable, but again nothing memorable. Meh. read more

The cheeseburger was what I expected two smashed patties layered with cheese and sauce on an extra soft bun. It was pretty good. The fries I did like, but would be better if they were salty. NeXT time I'll try their shake. read more

The place is really nice and the staff is awesome. Very friendly and quick! I have not tried the food yet but will update my review once I do. read more

Campus Burgers - Looks nice inside and the staff is awesome.... I will post about the food once I try it! - Fast Food Near Me - Gilroy, California

IMPORTANT: This is not about the food or service. In fact, the service was excellent! (5 stars for service!) The staff working the counter were kind, professional and eager to help! The (male) supervisor/manager that helped us was extremely friendly and professional. Also, the establishment was VERY CLEAN and tidy. HOWEVER...... After my companion paid for our order ($21), I was served my "chocolate" milkshake which it was not. At the time of this review, their FB and other socials promote REAL FOUNTAINT milkshakes which is the primary reason we went but this is UNTRUE. The "shakes" are vanilla SOFT-SERVE ICE CREAM from a machine then they drip (not mix) whatever flavor you want OVER the top. What they are calling a "milkshake" is nothing more than a soft-serve sundae in a cup. This is not a bad thing and maybe even delicious but its NOT A MILKSHAKE. Secondly, they DO NOT ACCEPT CASH. I hate to use the "D" word but to not allow customers to pay with cash is "DISCRIMINATORY". This isn't Manhattan, Beverly Hills or Dubai it's small town GILROY!!! By comparison, BREW CITY BURGERS accepts cash (and has REAL milkshakes btw) and so does THE HABBIT BURGER, IN-N-OUT, SHAKE SHACK, FIVE GUYS..... and every other burger joint in town! ....And for anyone who thinks the word "DISCRIMANTORY" is too harsh consider this; people on limited income or no income such as those on SNAP, senior citizens, homeless, people with disabilities, undocumented citizens, or even people who don't have good credit may only be able to use cash. By Campus Burgers not allowing these customers to pay with cash is not just lost business, it is in fact DISCRIMINATORY. The backbone of Gilroy is not a bunch of Silicon Valley "influencers", it's working class people including farmers, field workers, day-workers and families struggling to save enough to take their family out for a burger! Not accepting cash sends a clear message that you don't want their business and you don't support the community. To end this on a POSTIVE note, the gentleman who helped us with the refund was extremely professional, kind and accommodating.... AS WERE WE - we didn't get upset or make a scene. However, we did ask him to relay to the owners that the "milkshakes" were misleading and that they were loosing business by not accepting cash. He was very receptive to our feedback. read more

Pretty nice place but they are in their first year so that's sort of expected. First time I came I was met buy an obviously trainer for the new staff and everything went great. Patties are pretty small maybe a smidge smaller that in n out accross town. They are cheaper here than there if your a classic cheese with limited condiments. The second time tonight the training staff was gone and I ended up ordering nothing. I wanted to buy meat and cheese patties plain for dietary reasons. I wasn't offered a work around I wa just told "no we don't do that". Well that's what I want. If it can't be done I know super burger 30 seconds away will do it and so will in n out. A very hot and cold experience thus far, and off the list of diabetic friendly places to eat. Very mid read more

I've always been curious about trying Campus Burger in San Jose, but now that they've opened a new spot in Gilroy, I'm excited to visit! The burgers and fries were really tasty. Campus Burger, I'll definitely be back for more! read more

Don't recommend this location. Middle of the day on a weekday. Simple order of 4 burgers, 3 fries. Long wait time. When we finally received order, it was all wrong. read more

The cheese hamburgers I received were undercooked, lacking flavor, and I had to return them three times. Additionally, the restaurant was quite quiet, which rendered the experience somewhat unusual. I hope they can enhance their cooking process and cultivate a more welcoming atmosphere. read more

This burger is not anything special- no produce fries were cold asked for new ones and I'm sure they refried the second batch because you could break your tooth trying to bite into it. Wanted to like it but the service was horrible too! read more

Pretty good burgers, small selection doesn't hurt due to the fact that everything there is yum. Fast service too.

The food was very cheap and very good! Staff is very friendly as well! Menu is easy to understand but is required for you to eat outdoors with the provided benches as there is no in store dining read more

My double cheeseburger was an excellent burger. Grilled onions, yum! To be candid, the fry's needed salt. The parking is challenging. The place just opened and they're still a work in progress. The prices are a bargain. read more

The first time I gave this place a try, I ordered a double cheeseburger and fries. I had already read plenty of reviews saying the burgers were skimpy on beef, and wow, those reviews weren't lying. I could barely taste the meat. It was basically a bun and a slice of cheese pretending to be a burger. The patty actually tasted good, but calling that thing a "double" was generous. Fast forward a few weeks. I checked the menu online and saw you can add extra patties for about $1.99each, so I figured I'd give them another shot. I drove over with orders for myself and some coworkers, ready to actually taste some beef this time. Instead, I was told they can't make a cheeseburger or double with extra patties unless it's a "5 by 5," which forces you to get five slices of cheese. One slice already smothers the meat, but apparently that's the only way they know how to operate. I told them that's not how we wanted it because it's way too much cheese. Didn't matter. They wouldn't do it. Or couldn't. Hard to tell. So unfortunately, me and my coworkers won't be eating there anymore. When the only thing you're really buying is cheese and bread, the "value" they advertise disappears pretty fast read more

Disorganized slow service. A ton of fries prepared just sitting under a warming table getting soggy. They need to go to In & Out and see how a simple menu is prepared. They take your order fast ( your money ) then you wait...people stacked up like cord wood waiting for food. I was order 317 and after 10 people after I ordered were served. I asked why my order had still not been called. The bagger/expediter told me she was waiting on my grandson's burger with no cheese. Mind you there were ten orders with lots of burgers that went out the door. Does the cook not see the orders in order of ordering? Does the expediter not tell the cook that she needs a burger to complete an old order? She did after I called her out and I was out the door shortly after. I did not have a big order 2 cheeseburgers and a plain burger. There were a lot of pissed off people leaving the restaurant. read more

I had Campus burger in San Jose and it was not the best, everything over cooked. Just had a cheeseburger and fries in Gilroy and it was damn good! Fries and cheeseburger were cooked perfectly and the pickles they offered for the burger were the added touch that made it great. Parking is poor at best, so ride your bike or walk. read more

So happy this place opened! I have tried the one in San Jose but this one is way better, great service, and food. The meat is on point, the fries are crispy, milkshakes are tasty. You can mix ur own milkshake too! Now I understand why the line is very long to get a burger and fries! And one of the cheapest burgers I have tried. I highly recommend read more
