This place made me say "got dayum" to my date, who smiled because they knew I would love the food. I had a mushroom cheeseburger, they had the classic cheeseburger. The charbroiled Smokey burgers were enough to make the meal, but the nice amount of large steak cut fries and pump ketchup really added to the meal. I grabbed a chocolate shake, which was nothing but the finest nesquick chocolate syrup. It was delicious. What set this joint apart from other spots was the charbroiled burgers, but they also have some dogs and a Philly cheese steak I wanna try next time. Give this place a go, you won't regret it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Take a seat by the beautiful mural, and enjoy the reasonably priced grub.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I've been wanting to try Classic Burger for a while. I found it through a Reddit post asking for the best burger in the East Bay. A bunch of places were mentioned and I looked up pretty much all of them, but this one looked the best based on the kind of burgers I like. I love a charbroiled burger where you can actually see and taste the char, a soft bun, and melted American cheese. I ordered the bacon cheeseburger with an extra slice of cheese, swapped the regular onions for grilled onions, and got the fries extra crispy. The burger was amazing. You could really taste the char on the patty, and they even char the bun, which I loved. Everything worked really well together, and it was so good without tasting heavy or greasy like some burgers can. The fries were good, but I personally prefer thinner fries, more like McDonald's size. If I changed anything, I would've asked for extra mayo on the burger. Definitely coming back! read more

Classic Burger - Bacon cheeseburger - Burgers Near Me - San Lorenzo, California

My brother loves this place. He says its his 3rd favorite burger joint to date. I wasn't impressed and I wasn't disappointed per se. I wanted to be blown away, especially on how much my brother hyped up the place. I'm a big time foodie, I want food that makes me close my eyes and ponder on the food in my mouth. This was not that, but it wasn't bad either. In my humble opinion it is mediocre but decent. The classic burger with pastrami was ok, the onion rings are not special at all. I want in house made big tasty onion rings. With its 4 star score, somebody likes it. Hey Im one of those who doesn't know why people are in love with In & Out. So to each their own. read more

Classic Burger - cheeseburger and classic burger - Burgers Near Me - San Lorenzo, California

What a gem! My husband and I came here for the first time and boy was the burger good. We both ordered the regular burger, no onions, and shared a bag of fries. The bag is enough for 2 ppl, truthfully 3 ppl, and had the right amount of salt of them. The order took about 15 minutes to cook (not bad) and we, or should I say I, couldn't wait to get home to try them out. All in all, we'll be back soon. read more

[IN A NUTSHELL] mom & pop shop burger spot, classic burgers [VERDICT] - APPROVED [RUN-DOWN] A great spot if you are looking for some good classic burgers that are authentic and not cheap fast food. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This was recommended to me by a co worker and a cute little shop with a classic diner vibes.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [SCORE & ORDER] OVERALL: 3.25/5 Classic Burger $ (3.5/5) -Cheese Burger with Pastrami -A classic cheese burger with a twist of sliced/bits of pastrami. I decided to get this since it was the name of the restaurant. The burger came with lettuce, tomato, onions, pickles (I did not get), ketchup, and mustard (I did not get) and pastrami. The pastrami was interesting and I don't think I am a pastrami guy. No matter though because the burger was just as delicious. It was super juicy and flavorful. For a mom and pop shop, it tasted like a classic burger place. The burger was also super hefty and was full just from the burger. A nice touch to the burger was that the top of the bun was also toasted which gave a nice crispy taste to the burger itself. Onion Rings $ (3/5) -The classic onion rings... Nothing to special about the onions rings but they were nonetheless delicious. Super crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. [SERVICE & ATMOSPHERE] (not reflected upon review score): We came on a weekday lunch time and the sit down was not as busy but there were people ordering to go. There is also a soda machine if you get that option. The staff was super nice and I believe she is the owner of the restaurant. read more

I called in an order for a steak sandwich with mayo, lettuce and tomatoes only and I got an overcooked steak with only mayo and ketchup. I guess to them ketchup is the same as a tomato. You can see the quality of food one gets from the photo. It looks like it was a mistake from another order and they pawned it off on me. If you order from them make sure you check it make sure they made it correctly. Won't be going there any time soon. read more

Was craving a Philly cheese steak and decided to give Classic Burger a chance. I was pleasantly surprised and thoroughly enjoyed my sandwich! Bread is soft and warm and the meat was tender and flavorful, with the cheese melted perfectly. Note the sandwiches are a bit small and probably won't fill you if you're super hungry though. read more

I've heard about this place for years having lived in the area for some time. I love the pastrami burger at Utah's Crown Burger so I was looking forward to trying this place! [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's located in a little strip mall on Hesperian, definitely a hole in the wall kind of place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Old school menu board, older style tables/benches, it has that 1980's mom and pop kind of vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They are a bit understaffed when it gets busy but the food is cooked to order and they bring it out to you on an old school orange tray. I got the pastrami burger and fries. Portions were good sized and the pastrami burger was pretty good. Decent place to get a greasy burger from a local spot. read more

My husband and I stopped by Classic Burger in San Lorenzo on a Saturday at 1:15 PM. [[HIGHLIGHT]]When we walked in, there were only three other people, so we weren't sure if it was going to be good since it wasn't packed. But soon after we placed our order and sat down, the place quickly filled up -- a good sign![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]From the moment we walked in, I was pleased to notice there was NO overpowering cleaner smell--my pet peeve--and the place was clean, cool, and welcoming.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The staff was friendly and attentive, which made our experience even better. I really appreciated that we could see the food being cooked -- it's always reassuring to see freshness and cleanliness in the kitchen. We split a double cheeseburger and fries, and the food was delivered by a staff member piping hot, which was perfect. The burger was fantastic! I could taste the char of the grill, and the meat was nice and thick and meaty. The lettuce, tomato, and grilled onions added the perfect touch of flavor. The fries were hot and fresh, and the bun was just right -- soft, not too thick or bready, with sesame seeds that I love. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Everything felt cozy and inviting -- a great spot to hang out and enjoy great-tasting, hot, fresh food.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We'll definitely be back. Thanks for a fantastic quick meal! read more

Wowzers! This place was amazing! While Yelping looking for a good place to eat I came across this gem of a restaurant and so happy I did! I saw all the reviews and nothing but positives so I had to try it. Pulled up and got to the counter. The lady at the counter was helpful, nice, and just wanted me to feel welcome! I asked what would be the best burger since it was my first time. She said the classic burger is what they've known for so I had to try! Wow! This burger was bursting with flavor, had that slightly toasted bun, lettuce, pickles, tomatoes, must and mayo, bacon patty and pastrami and Swiss cheese! Yummmm!! I also ordered the fries that were cooked perfectly not oily and just right! This burger I can't stop talking about because it tasted homemade and with that flavor that can only come from a grill that's been used for years and has that old school taste to it! The burger was juicy and just done right! I highly recommend you stop here and have the burger yourself! With the sesame buns I like, this burger is a home run! If in the area, live close by, driving by or staying close by, you gotta try this place! You will not be disappointed!! I might have to drive from the Sacramento area again to come have this burger more often! read more

Classic Burger - burgers n fries - Burgers Near Me - San Lorenzo, California

So upset with the owners wife. My original review years ago I gave a very good review however i expressed that I thought their mayo was gross. I still gave a really good review. We'll then they show up on tiktok and onexpressed its not the same since the husband retired. I also said the price has went up 3 times in a year. Apparently the owners wife read my comment and did not like what I said. So me and hubby and went in and got 2 burgers one no onions one only ketchup and onions and jalapeno. We get our food and hubby's was ok but mine had only mayo... she said oh the girl put I only mayo like really lady thats clearly what u wrote because you knew how I felt about the mayo.. so she said they will remake it.. I wait almost 10 minutes get the burger it wasn't remade they scraped the mayo off and put a new slice of cheese the cheese that was stuck to it still had mayo. We will never return nor will our family and friends. She purposely messed up on my order because she was mad about what I said. If you can't take people's honest opinions dont be on social media advertising and definitely dont be on yelp. Im sure she was mad I didnt change my review but now instead of 5 stars she gets one and only because I have to. I will continue to let people know about this.... dont get mad because you change your burger size (in which they did these used to be 1/3 lbs they are now 1/4 lbs) raise the price 3 times in one year (which is believe is illegal) and then purposely give me something you know I dont like because my comments. This is bs. Not to mention service absolutely sucks. And they touch money and other things then go touch food (fries) bare handed without gloves and without washing hands. Her son wipes his sweat with his hands then touches fries and drink cups.... disgusting ... go if you want but this is my honest review and experiences after being a customer for 14 years. read more

There's really not much to say about this place except that it's a very good burger! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is old school, small, order at the counter, pay, it's ready.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Don't expect too much because they only have a few items on the menu but that's the beauty of a place like this. Do a handful of things but do them well and the folks do a great burger! The burger was big! Two delicious patties fried on a flat top grill, melty American cheese, crispy bacon with a side of golden fries. I had no idea this place existed and I've been around here for a long time. They gained a new customer because I will definitely be back again! read more

I was craving a bigass burger, and this place definitely hit the spot. Exactly the kind of char-grilled taste I was looking for.

We were in the area and really craving a burger, so we decided to stop by Classic Burger. Just a sidenote, I can be a little weary of trying new burger spots... Walking in it seemed like a business that had been around for a long time, which was good news, so we went ahead and ordered. We both ordered the classic burger not really knowing what to expect, but were very pleasantly surprised to find it is a good quality burger topped with pastrami! I had never had a burger with pastrami before, and I can tell you it is a great addition. Not only that, but also the patty was very well seasoned and portion size was good. Based on our experience, I do know that the wait can be a little long, so come prepared to potentially wait, and if not, you can peruse the grocery store down the way. read more

Classic Burger makes a damn fine hamburger. And some of the offerings are a little unique too. They have a hamburger topped with pastrami, and a mushroom burger, kind of standard,I guess but done very well. Why is this not five stars? Well the buns could be better. But the burger I had, which was a double cheeseburger with bacon was, absolutely sublime. Also big big + for their onion rings which were crispy and flavorful. Some of the best I've had in a long time. I put a couple of them on my hamburger. My mom got the Swiss burger. She enjoyed it very much. My sister got the regular hamburger. Also enjoyed it very much. The flavor of their beef is very good. Nothing I consider gourmet, just a burger done well read more

This place was recommended by someone local and I am NOT regretting it. It seems to be ran by an older generation Asian wife and husband (cannot confirm). [[HIGHLIGHT]]You walk in and it's like stepping back in time to 1985 with the decor.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have an old school menu board and they keep it simple.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food tastes fresh and like you remember how burgers and fries used to taste (and probably should). Take note, if you're in a rush call ahead, this place is not for you if you're short on time or patience. The soda syrup/C02 mix was great. Meat is charbroil 1/3 lb beef and the onion rings are great. I have heard the philly cheesesteak is great as well, but have yet to try The folks here are reserved, but they are very nice. Food is brought out to you also like it used to be and is cooked to order, even the fries and onion rings. read more
