We got to try their single patty and double patty & saucy fries. I love that you can watch them make your burger at the window. They definitely use fresh ingredients in their burgers and their sauce really elevates the burger. The fries were great by itself but even better with their sauce. It gives me thousand island vibes~ They were pretty busy when we went which was at 5:30pm, despite that we didn't have to wait to long for our food! They have an outdoor and indoor seating which is nice. Their interior is cool, love how the floor and walls are plaster with red/white colors. Def a vibe read more

I want to give this place another chance because I was unfamiliar with smashed burgers at the time. People were really hyped about this place and so I want to come here again. I was told that it's recommended to eat smashed burgers with at least two patties for a good bun to meat ratio. When I first came here, I ordered it with a single patty and now I see why I tasted too much from the bun than the meat. In my second visit, I do see not just the taste and quality of the food got better but also its representation. I do like how they wrap around burgers like that. The food papers display their logo, which is quite of an improvement. I mean it may have took them months to make it look like this. The fries taste better too probably because they improved their ways of seasoning them. My only issue is that just like my first visit from several months ago it's still hot inside probably they either didn't have AC installed yet or like a huge fan that some restaurants use. Hopefully they can do something about it in the future. However, it's not the point that I want to do a takeout because I live in Fremont and it takes about 20 minutes to get back home especially with all the traffic going on. Anyways, I heard that they're going to open multiple locations including Milpitas, which is closest to my home, in the future and that I'm looking forward to visiting there. read more

One of the better smash burger spots I've tried in SJ. Pretty cheap but they do charge extra for any veggies. After adding tomato and lettuce, my single burger came out to around $6.50. A double cheeseburger combo (comes with drink and fries) with tomato, lettuce, and onions ended up being about $14. The burgers and fries were delicious but a little salty. I didn't even get a pic cus I ate so fast. The strawberry milkshake was okay. Good amount of seating inside and plenty of parking! read more

This place knows how to do smash burgers right! We stopped by after a night out, and it was exactly what we were craving. We ordered the Single DB, Double DB, Smash Fries, and a strawberry milkshake. Both burgers were cooked perfectly, with crispy, caramelized edges and juicy centers. The house sauce complemented the burgers well and tied all the flavors together without overpowering the beef. The Smash Fries were incredibly delicious and definitely worth ordering. Crispy, flavorful, and addictive, they paired perfectly with the burgers. However, the standout item of the entire meal was the strawberry milkshake. It was easily one of the best milkshakes we've ever had--thick, creamy, and packed with flavor. One thing to note is that the food leans on the salty side, which may be a positive or negative depending on your preference. I also wasn't a huge fan of having to pay extra to add vegetables to the burger, as that feels like something that should come standard. Ordering was simple and convenient, whether through the self-service kiosk or directly with the staff. Our food came out quickly, making it a great option for a fast and satisfying meal. The restaurant itself is small and charming, though seating and parking can be limited. Overall, if you're looking for a delicious smash burger, great fries, and an outstanding milkshake, this spot is definitely worth checking out. read more

Dough Burger - single DB, double DB, smash fries, and strawberry milkshake - Burgers Near Me - San Jose, California

It's a saddens me a bit to write this review. Here's why. I've actually had their burger sometimes back last year in a door dash delivery. It was quite late and this was one of the few places open when I wanted a non-franchise burger. I was blown away by it then. Crispy, charred, but full of beef flavor. I've always wanted to dine in since then and finally had a chance. It wasn't what it used to be. The burger was good, but not as I remembered. No crispy, beefy, caramelly maillard reaction I remembered was no where to be found. What distincts smash burger from a burger. It tasted more like a patty that was just pressed flat and cooked like a plain old burger. The Fries was carrying the whole experience. Nice, crispy, I think cooked in tallow. Full on flavor not just potato flavor. The experience I gotta say was subpar too. It wasn't too crowded, yet, it took me like 30 minutes to get the food. It was sparsely seated when I entered but a sizable crowd was forming by the time I got food, people waiting and frustrated for the food to come out. I ate inside but the service though wasn't rude, didn't seem as professional where it seemed like a high school kids's part time work though half the staff seemed much older than that. I gotta say if it wasn't for the fries, I might've given it a 2 stars. I really hope they'll be able to come back to the quality I've enjoyed before. Maybe I was just unlucky on the day. read more

Dough Burger - Burgers Near Me - San Jose, California

I had really high expectations for this burger spot after seeing all the promotional videos and positive reviews online, so I decided to stop by during lunch. Unfortunately, the experience ended up being pretty underwhelming. The first thing that surprised me was that every single topping on the burger costs extra. On top of that, I didn't even receive everything I ordered despite dining in. I had ordered chilis on the side and a drink, but neither was given to me until I specifically asked about them. When I asked for the chilis, the cashier told me they had run out and asked if jalapeños were okay instead. I ended up taking the jalapeños, but it was still disappointing considering I went well before closing hours. I also wasn't given my drink cup until I asked for it separately, which made the service feel pretty disorganized overall. The restaurant itself also didn't feel especially clean during my visit. What frustrated me most was that it genuinely felt like I would not have received either of the items I paid for unless I specifically asked for them. Between the missing drink cup and the missing side order, the whole experience came across as pretty careless and disorganized. The burger itself was ok. The patty had no crispy bits or any caramelization so the overall experience felt lackluster given the hype surrounding the place. Maybe I just caught them on an off day, but this visit definitely didn't live up to expectations. I'd consider giving them one more try in the future, though. I would rate the burgers a 2/5, sauce a 2/5 and the fries a 3/5. read more

Dough Burger is a cool spot that offers smash burgers, french fries, soda, floats, and milkshakes. They are located in a tiny stripmall off N. First Street, close to Chevron Gas, Starbucks, Slice Pizza, etc. The parking is challenging during peak hours. They are open until 1:30am most days and 3am on Fridays and Saturdays. The ambience is lively with house music. Inside and outside seating available. The decor inside is pretty cool. They also sell some of their brand merchandise. One unisex restroom with code. Order via two kiosks and/or cashier. Combo with Smash Burger, French fries, and fountain drink. The burger was pretty tasty and the sauce was close or similar to Red Robin's Campfire Sauce. Support your local business. read more

I had really high hopes for this place after seeing a couple videos of them going viral on TikTok and we were craving a hearty smash burger, so we decided to give it a try. We placed an order inside at 6:50 and didn't get the order until 7:35. What made it even more confusing was that they don't call your name out or anything they just place it on the counter. There was also a customer that had ordered at 6:15 and he said that they forgot to even put his order in. We ordered two double smashburgers with chopped chilies and an order of saucy fries. After waiting that long you would think that the fries were going to be fresh and piping hot, but they were unfortunately so cold and hard. The smashburgers themselves were alright, the whole order came with one sauce on the side and I feel like it saved the burger because without it was pretty dry. Overall, the long wait, bad service and mediocre food was really disappointing and not worth it. read more

Dough Burger - Double patty - Burgers Near Me - San Jose, California

The burger and fries were so good I didn't stop to take a photo. 5 star food and 4 stars for the service as it took a looong time. Even when busy, you just don't expect such a long wait for smashburgers. A juicy burger patty with those crispy edges. Soft, slightly sweet buns. Crispy, well-seasoned fries. A really good burger sauce. What more could you ask for? Oh, and the price. It's priced very competitively. So many smashburger places in LA are around $20 for a combo and Dough Burger is more similar to prices you'd pay at In-N-Out, but twice as good. I'd definitely come back next time I'm in the area read more

Had a late night flight into the San Jose airport, so as one of the few late night places in the Bay Area, this was a must stop for some night time bites. They even advertise on their neon light sign that they're open late. Super close to the airport too and located near the hotels if you need a reference. The parking lot is connected to some other plazas, so finding parking isn't too hard. There's indoor and outdoor seating and tables but with how popular it is, even at later night hours, finding seating can be difficult, so make sure you snipe a table when possible. Ordering is through a kiosk near the front and they have some of their merch on sale as well. Giant lab observation style windows so you can watch the workers prepare your halal burgers too. For our late night meal, we got the: 1) Triple Burger: -3 halal beef patties triple stacked with cheese, onions, pickles and lots of sauce, all in a brioche bun. They angle it so the meat comes out diagonally from the bun, so it looks good for pictures, but to make sure it doesn't get everywhere, shove everything back in. We got this with extra onions, giving it a stronger bite. -Definitely a nice juicy burger and the sauce has a bit of sweetness to it, so it's not the same as what I'd expected (In-n-Out's thousand island sauce). Something about it reminds me of the White Castle-esque sliders I had as a child, so it's a yummy nostalgic taste. 2) Fries: -Comes with a side of the sauces as well and lightly seasoned. Thin style fries. Not the crispiest and slight styrofoamy from the get go. I'm usually a fries enjoyer, but this was a miss for me and couldn't finish it. I think I'll skip out on the fries next time. 3) Root Beer Float: -This came out the last and it's literally a can of A&W root beer and a cup with 2 scoops of vanilla ice cream. Get it if you're craving it, but if it's not the fresh from the fountain kind, I don't think I'll get it again since I can kind of make this at home, especially since the cost is around that of getting a double burger. Overall not a bad fast food spot. read more

IMO this place is one of the top tier smash burger spots in San Jose. It's open late and has entertainment like basketball and hackey sack that you can play while you wait for the food. Phenomenal ambiance as they're also blasting some jams over the speakers in the dining area. The burger itself is a typical smash burger. Nothing too crazy. I actually don't prefer smash burgers, but this was pretty good. I like how you can add halal bacon. Looking back. It's comparable to sixth street burger.

I remembered supporting Dough Burger back when it was a food truck in the middle of nowhere, on Old Bayshore Highway. Seeing Dough Burger with an actual storefront felt like seeing your favorite comic book hero come to life on the big screen. Dough Burger always had this drive in the back of their mind, and it's incredible to see that determination pay off so tangibly. The best part about Dough Burger is its simplicity and affordability, especially if you stick to the default configuration. Add-ons can elevate the experience, but they do add up, with most toppings priced at 75 cents each. My go-to is the Double Smashburger ($6) and the Smash Fries with raw onions ($6). Some people compare the sauce used on the food to Cane's sauce, but I compare it more to Red Robin's Campfire Sauce in that the flavor is more BBQ-forward. The food will stain your hands and knock you out with a serious greasy punch, but it also leaves you satisfied and ready for the night ahead. Speaking of which, Dough Burger opens really late. I mean, REALLY late. It opens until 1:30AM on most nights, and 3AM on Fridays and Saturdays. The part that keeps Dough Burger from scoring higher is consistency. I usually come on weekday evenings and notice the fries are hit or miss, often leaning toward the latter. When fresh, they're some of the best fries around the San Jose area. When stale, they can hurt your teeth and jaw. We were just talking about affordability, so we cannot afford to spend more money on a dentist cleaning. Occasionally, the staff will miss a sauce on the side or skip the raw onions. It's not always the case, but still enough to note in this review. Oh, and the music can get loud at times, but you can always sit outside and watch the cars pass by at the N First St and Technology Pl intersection. Great burger fix for those who are passing by. Just wish the food itself wasn't such a gamble on quality. read more

Dough Burgerrrrrr!!! Words cannot explain how much of a gem this place is. First of all, I LOVE that this place is open so late, considering surrounding businesses close so early, which being in close proximity to downtown, doesn't really make any sense, but I digress. This is a really solid place to go to after a night out. Did I mention it's halal? Service was quick just as you would expect from a burger joint. What I also appreciate is that it isn't a millennial burger place that charge an arm and a leg for everything they can. It's no frills, you get exactly what you want. Everything was fresh as hell. Ordering can be done through the kiosk or with the cashier. The only downside I would say is the lighting of the place. To me, it was very sterile like a hospital. Just a lil more ambient lighting and they're quite literally perfect. Go to Dough Burger and show them some love. NOW! read more

Dough Burger - Burgers Near Me - San Jose, California

So simple, yet so delicious and halal too! Dough Burgers has easily become one of my favorite spots for smash burgers. I love how the menu is straightforward, but every item is done really well. It reminds me of Japanese-style simplicity where the focus is on quality, balance, and letting the flavors speak for themselves. Nothing overcomplicated, just really good food done right. I also love their story. They started as a food truck and have now grown into a brick-and-mortar restaurant, which is amazing to see. I'm genuinely so happy for them and love supporting a business that's clearly growing because people really love their food. They currently have one location, and it's always super busy, so just be aware there may be a wait! I ordered both the Double Dough Burger and the Triple Dough Burger, and both were amazing. The patties were juicy and flavorful, the cheese melted perfectly, and the grilled onions, pickles, and signature sauce tied everything together. The brioche bun was soft and held everything without falling apart, which I really appreciated. The Smash Fries were also a standout. Crispy fries loaded with savory meat, pickles, and their sauce. Their sauce is seriously addictive and adds so much flavor! To top it off, I had a root beer float and a vanilla shake, which were both creamy and a great way to finish the meal. One small note for awareness: there is only one shared restroom, and I do wish there was better ventilation. If you're seated nearby, it can be a bit uncomfortable after someone uses it. Cleanliness and airflow in that area would definitely make the dining experience even better. Overall, this is still a spot I really enjoy and will continue to support. If you're craving a simple, high-quality smash burger with bold flavor, Dough Burgers is absolutely worth checking out! read more

Dough Burger has become widely popular Smash burger Joint on social Media for a while. From the video and pictures; it definitely looked appealing. But, I was a bit apprehensive;as I feel places that have heavy influencer presence aren't really good recommendations a lot of times. However, this place caught me by surprise. I was debating on having the pizza spot next door, but decided to finally try Dough Burger out instead. Everytime I pass by this place is packed; it's nice it stays open until 3AM. So it's nice to have other burger joint open instead of jack In The Box lol I placed an online order everything here is A La Carte but you can make your meal a combo. What's great about this place is the prices are affordable. I decided to get single smash burger and make it a meal that comes with drink. Single smash burger: 5/5 Very good smash burger and everything is made to order here. The patty was flavorful and not paper thin like some smash burger joints make them. The burger itself only comes with pickle, cheese, onions, and their special sauce. Any add ons come at additional cost. Although, mine didn't have any onions on it. I decided to add lettuce, tomato, and there Halal Bacon to mine. The burger itself was on the smaller side. In pics these burgers look huge but they're not. Since I got the combo it came with side of regular fries that were good and nicely slated, and I had fountain drink. The total for the single Smash Burger Combo came out to 14 bucks even which is better then these fast food prices and below average quality lol Overall, this is a Great Spot if you're looking for a good burger in the area. Especially, if you're looking for food late night. I would definitely recommend this place. read more

This place is pretty good and reasonably cheap. However, just remember that a "combo" doesn't come with a drink so it's misleading. The burger is well seasoned and it taste fresh and delicious.

I ordered the single smash burger with lettuce along with Saucy Fries and it was easily one of the best smash burgers I have had in a long time. My only regret was that I did not order a double due to how small a single was. The fries themselves were basic but the sauce did make them stand out. The shop has a great vibe. You can see the staff preparing multiple patties in the back keeps the food moving and the wait time short. The music is also great for when you are eating indoors. I enjoyed it so much that I told my co-workers I will be taking them back here. In fact, I plan to try their shakes as well! read more

One of the best smash burgers I have had in a while. The burger is sauced up and the patty is juicy and soft. The flavor is really good and simple. Fries are solid but nothing without all the sauce and extras. This place is also halal friendly! The parking lot is a bit small and shaped interestingly and can def difficult during peak hours for the plaza. However, they have some seats inside and outside. Outside can get a little noisy since it is right next to a busy street. I honestly liked the burgers when they had their food truck more than the store now but it's all still good burgers. read more

Dough Burger is doing smash burgers right. The burger itself is easily a 5. Crispy edges, juicy in the middle, and really well balanced. The halal bacon is a great touch and adds a lot of flavor. I also tried the root beer float and it was actually really good, nice and classic. Only reason this isn't a full 5 stars is the fries. They were pretty underwhelming and honestly I wouldn't order them again. Luckily the burger is the star here and totally worth going back for.

Although this place doesn't have the tomatoes and lettuce, it does have pickles!! Menu is so simple but sometimes simple is best. Better for consistency. I ordered the triple and I can't believe it is $6.99/ea. a double is $5.99/ea. Wow for the price it's definitely a filling and satisfying meal. Fries were just ok. I liked their milkshakes.

UPDATE: FOR STOREFRONT This place is still one of the best cheapest late night burger spots in the bay area. With their store near SJO airport, I would say this place got better in speed. Merchandise to buy now by the door. Saw it going for $20 for hats. Quality of the food here is still the same and the sauce is good. Everything is hot, and accurate order. Same burgers and fries from their food truck days. They just added a soda machine now. They have plenty of seating inside and available outdoor seating. They play modern music here. The theme all the way to the seating is red and white. Very 49ers fans friendly. I recommend coming here. Easy late night bites after gambling. Always coming back. read more

Came during the night for a dinner meal. Parking is pretty sparse but we managed to find a spot. Area kind of looks filthy for some reason. But if I were to need a meal after midnight, this would be a better option then Jack. Got the combo burger with fries and a drink. The girl behind the counter didn't seem to be interested in anything other then her phone and could care less about customer service. The burgers were served cold, not sure, but it tasted like they were cooked before we ordered. The sauce is a mayo with something in it to make it look orange, otherwise tasteless. I would get concentrated pieces of herb seasoning in the burger like someone didn't want to mix the spices. Not the best burger experience in the area. I would probably go somewhere else for a burger. read more
