Nothing fancy - but exactly what a burger should be! The patty has a char broiled taste, the onion rings are perfect - the onion doesn't come out when you take the first bite like most places. I'd go here over any other burger spot in the area! read more

Came by on a weekday night for dinner. Oh my goodness the wait was so long to take our order but especially to wait for our food. I'm pretty sure we waited more than an hour. When we finally got our food... Cheeseburger - not bad overall Strawberry shake - good flavor, not too sweet or artificial, and great size for the price! Philly cheese steak - very dry, disappointing read more

Love this place. Reminds me of charbroiled burger places in SoCal. Friendly and decent prices

Remember pondering what ever happened to that real hamburger taste? Remember thinking that all the kids will ever know is that stupid meat disc slipped into those industrial packaged buns? That very flavorful burger is still around, although hard to find. My first (of what is to be many) trip to Classic Burger was last night. Now that Vals is on restricted, to-go operation, I was DYING for a good burger after a lousy day at work. Classic Burger delivered.

Fresh, hot food served by the nicest people. Was the best burger I've had in a very long time.

The BEST burger, fries, onion rings, and thick shakes! Hands down the best in the bay! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The food is so good they're always super busy![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Happy for them though. read more

I have heard so much about this place especially their classic burger, a pastrami with beef patty burger. This mom and pop establishment located on a busy street on a strip mall with no lacking for diners. Ordering at the counter, I was informed it will take 20 minutes to prepare. It was a warm day and the wait was a bit daunting but I stayed. I ordered the classic burger, Fries and chocolate, the works. After over twenty minutes the food was delivered. Taking my first bite from my classic burger, it shouldn't surprise me that it was salty but it. For I can't recommend it. I would stick with regular burger, no disrespect to the owners for a unique burger. However, the chocolate was thick that my straw stood on its own in the middle. It was definitely good. And the fries were delivered hot and crispy, the latter two are highly recommended. As much I like to support local mom and pop restaurant, the long wait makes it a place of last resort although they put their heart and soul in each burger preparation, sorry. read more

My family enjoyed eating their cheese burgers and fries! I always order to go and the food is always ready for pickup when I arrive.

Worth going a little farther than your normal fast food joint. Price and serving size are more than acceptable for this economy. Not to mention the quality is better than a fastfood burger! read more

Updating since it's been 7 years since I reviewed this place. Burger and shake are still tops!! DON'T order the double. It was a mistake, way too much to eat. But it was soooo good what I could eat. Fries were better and I remembered to take my own Ketchup. Run to this family owned spot, it won't disappoint. Great service and everything is made to order. read more

Last time I went they pissed me off but because they made me wait for hella long bc they forgot I was literally right freaking there and my food was cold as hell! That being said I've been here plenty of times before and overall they are the best burgers I've had lol. I would say I want to boycott them but they're just that good that I can't ‍ read more

Felt kinda guilty. Lived in San Lorenzo over 40 years and never tried here before. She told us they have been there 29 years! The bacon cheeseburger was excellent! Good fries too. Well cooked patty, crispy bacon, good size and quite filling! We had to wait a bit. Mom and Pop operation so we were cool waiting. Burger was worth the wait. The inside was dated but very clean and enough seating it appeared. We will go back! read more

The burgers were sooo delicious. The service was great, the lady at the counter was very sweet and nice. She made me feel at home and welcome. This is a mom and pop shop that is hidden. Don't judge the outside, we ordered burgers and fries. The fries were very delicious, huge fried too! Give it a try, it is a hidden gem. read more

I haven't had this location but I've had their location in Sacramento years ago, and it was nothing short of amazing. I'm so glad they're still around!! Truly one of a kind. It's been over 10 years and I still think about this place every blue moon lol, I'll Definitely be doubling back!! read more

Classic Burger is exactly what the name suggests--a no-frills, old-school burger joint that does the basics really well. My wife and I stopped in with my brother-in-law, and we all enjoyed our meals. I got the mushroom cheeseburger, my wife had a regular cheeseburger, and my brother-in-law went for the double Swiss cheeseburger. We also shared fries and onion rings. The burgers were chargrilled on a flat top and had that classic, straightforward taste that I really appreciate. Nothing fancy, just simple, well-executed, and delicious--especially for the price. The fries were solid, and I overheard the cashier asking a regular if they wanted theirs extra crispy, so I'll definitely try that next time. The onion rings were great too, and the sautéed mushrooms on my burger were fantastic. The service was incredibly friendly. The place is run by an older Asian couple, and when we walked in, we saw signs celebrating their 30-year anniversary in business. Even though it was our first time, the cashier made us feel like regulars. She even chatted with us about our upcoming baby (my wife is pregnant) and wished us well. You can tell this is a true neighborhood spot--lots of locals came and went while we were there. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere is super casual--it feels like stepping back into the '80s in the best way possible, with booths and a clean, no-nonsense setup.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My only regret was not seeing the combo meal option, which would've been cheaper than ordering my burger and fries separately. Would I recommend it? Absolutely. If you're craving a solid, classic burger made with care, this is the place to go. There's a reason they've been around for 30+ years--and I'll definitely be back. read more

Family business that has been consistently great for years. Burgers have a great grill flavor. Great value. I highly recommend!

Always a great burger! Extremely busy so I suggest getting your order in early. I think Classic Burger wins hands down over in and Out any day!!! read more

We came here on a weeknight after phoning in. The order took less than 10 minutes to make and the food was very fresh. I loved how soft and moist the hamburger buns were and the fries and onion rings were crisp to perfection. The burgers were very generous sizes and the food was great. One thing that could be better would be to have some vegetarian options and possibly some mozzarella sticks. But the prices are reasonable. In non-COVID times, this venue has about 5 big tables and some side tables as well. The operations are nimble but clearly effective and it's great to support a local business. This will be our go-to burger spot around the area. read more

I'm the grand scheme of things I'll give this spot a solid 4 stars. But...... we gotta step back and compare this spot with similar competitors. That being said, I'll be giving classic burger 5 stars! Super solid spot! I ordered the bacon cheeseburger along with a Swiss burger for my girlfriend & shared fries and a drink. Impressed that all of that came out to only $21. Every time we eat out nowadays we're looking to spend 45 to 60+ dollars . Both burgers were super simple, but the ingredients made the burger stand out! Giving out a great homemade burger experience. Will be coming back in the future, as this was our first time. We need to try the onion rings, along with the Philly cheesesteak next time. See you soon classic burger! read more

Classic Burger - Swiss burger & Bacon Cheeseburger - Burgers Near Me - San Lorenzo, California

This place provides the classic, quintessential cheeseburger. We've never heard of this place until my fiance searched for a burger spot on Yelp; he wanted to try something different than In n Out since it never fills him up. This place has raving reviews and so one Friday evening we called to ask how long it would take, and they said 50 min. So we opted for this place nearly a week later on a Thursday evening. We ordered takeout via phone and went to pick it up 20 min later... it was hot and ready waiting for us. Total came out to $21 incl tax and tip. So worth it! It's located off Hesperian in a plaza. Very unassuming you wouldn't think a good burger spot would be here. It's definitely a hole in the wall! We got the two classic cheeseburger that came with pastrami/cheese/veggies, a side of onion rings, and a side of fries. The burger was a decent size, not too big but definitely more filling than an In n Out burger. The cheeseburger was sooo goooooood, juicy with the perfect crunch from the pastrami. It's definitely the best burger we've tried in the East Bay. I believe the cheese is Swiss? This place is severely underrated! The onion rings were perfectly crispy and so good! The onion broke into pieces after biting it; you know how its annoying when the entire onion comes out after one bite. That didn't happen to these ones! The fries were also perfectly crispy, a bit thicker than fast food fries. Everything was perfect and we were mind blown with our meal. This place is underrated and I'm surprised it doesn't have more reviews. We officially found our new go to burger spot. read more

Working nearby I turned to yelp for some grub in the immediate area and just my luck I stumbled upon this place that caught my eye. I sent my subordinate to pick up the food. They were friendly and fast especially for it being lunch time hours. I could smell the quality through the bag as my coworker takes the first bite and his eyes illuminate. I could tell I found another hit just from the subtle expression. I wait my turn to go to lunch anxiously awaiting my burger.. then I get to my work truck and get my mits on this blavor bomb or a burger and euphoria takes over after the first bite.. although hunger is the best spice, especially at work.. I feel this burger would be good year round under any circumstances. Too far for me to drive to for the heck of it but if I'm nearby.. im gonna take a friend and spread the good word of classic burger. I recommend this to anybody interested read more

Classic Burger - Mushroom and Swiss with fries - Burgers Near Me - San Lorenzo, California

I'm sad I discovered this place.. my thighs are not going to be happy.. but real ice cream shakes? The best and most crispy onions rings, and the best burger WOTH COOKED BACON, not stringy bacon, did it for me. Not a soggy bun, or one bite left. Huge portion of fries as well. A must go again, and maybe again read more

Old school atmosphere,always clean, always friendly staff. It's a mom and pop joint with their son who helps often. Their burgers, sandwiches, fries, onion rings, etc are consistently good and easy to modify. You can't beat their prices for the quality of the food. My favorite is their mushroom burger with Swiss and my boyfriend loves their double bacon cheeseburger. Whoever I've mentioned the place to ends up loving it. Hope they're around for a long time. read more

Truly the best! No frills diner with amazing cheeseburgers and shakes. I prefer the onion rings over the French fries. They've been here since I was a little girl in the 90s and attended the Kumon next door (now obsolete). Love this mom and pop place! read more

Tried this place after seeing all the good reviews. The burger was ok but was hoping for handmade burgers but seems the patties were premade frozen. Service was weird. We walked in and the older man and the heavier set guy just looked at us no smile or greeting. Maybe its because we came in 1/2 hr before closing IDK. Its been said in the reviews its family owned so was expecting good hospitality. But when they gave us our order he gave it to us with a smile. For me I won't be back. read more

All burger patties are 1/3 pound... They are real juicy and tasty .. All burgers are made to order... Their menu mainly consists of different types of hamburgers... Their French Fries are really good too.. This is a mom and pops business and dad knows how to cook.... read more

While I was waiting for my food, I watched the man make the burgers... every time he needs to flip the bread - he simply flips them with his hands without gloves.... he doesn't have a hat or anything on his hair, the girl who works with him is also without gloves and has hair was down not covered... when I approached the person who works at front I told her I was very shocked that he was touching the burger with his hand without gloves... she told me that they don't use gloves here, so he's touching everyone's food... I will never go there again and I wouldn't recommend that place to anyone.... read more

Recently discovered this good burger place I came in on this Saturday 5/31 and seen a baby roach by the drinks

I can't believe I haven't left a review for this place before. Hands down the best hole in the wall burger joint in the entire Bay Area!. I avoided it for a long time so,yeah based on the fact that it was in a strip mall but once I tried it I was hooked. Their double bacon cheeseburger is so big and flavorful and the fries are thick and a good mixture of soft and crispy. The only other thing I've had was the steak sandwich and that is very good as well. I always call ahead because the wait can get lengthy but they have improved that a great deal over the years by adding someone to handle the register when it's busy. Can't say enough about them. Absolutely a must try! read more

Found this hole in the wall in a strip mall off of Yelp. Review have described it as a neighborhood dive, but I'll tell you that the burgers are top notch! Order at the counter and they bring your food to your 70's era booth. Their burgers are griddle cooked 1/3lb patty, sesame bun, fresh onion, lettuce, ketchup/Mayo/mustard classic hamburgers. The meat is cooked to a nice crunchy char, just the way I like it. Fries were plentiful and piping hot, as were the onion rings. Service is friendly and the place was from the 70's, but clean. Overall, great spot for a burger- two thumbs up read more

Classic Burger - Meal combo $10.99 - Burgers Near Me - San Lorenzo, California

When my small time burger place closed down from my old work, I found Classic also had a pastrami burger on the menu. If you have not tried this, it's basically like a double patty burger, except you have one classic charred burger and a good amount of pastrami on top. A nice salty taste but delicious. I have take my co-workers there and they enjoyed this as well. This place feels like a classic mom and pop shop, prices are great and food has always been excellent. I have mostly stopped by for lunch and only stopped by once for dinner. Unfortunately since my favorite item is the Classic burger, I have not tried anything else yet. Stop on by and give this place a try read more

Hole in the wall, mom and pops burger joint in a Plaza off Hesperian with plenty of parking Got the classic burger and Philly cheese steak sandwich for $14 after tax. The burger patty was too well done, should have asked for medium rare. Otherwise, it was pretty decent. The Philly cheese steak sandwich was good, but salty. Food and menu was simple and basic, but still pretty good for the price you pay. Only downside was that it took 20-25 mins for the food to come out, but that could also be seen as a positive thing given that the food is cooked fresh read more

Great place for just a good, regular ass burger. I ordered a cheeseburger and it was everything I expected it to be. I also tried their burger with pastrami which was equally as good. Place was a little greasy/dirty, but I didn't have high expectations for that. read more

Best burgers in the area. Small mom and pop shop that's been a staple in the community, with nicely grilled burgers (and reasonably priced). Super nice family working there and one of my go-to places for a burger. The classic burger (burger with pastrami) is always good. read more

Always got a good burger and fries here, yet we can't get delivery from them now that we're in Colorado.
