Heartbreaking that I never got to eat here until they're about to close. The burger was fantastic - and it's nice to get a high-quality vegan burger. The non-dairy milkshakes are another miracle. It's going to be missed. Fantastic service, and it's too bad we (the general public) don't know how to support these smaller businesses in an effective manner. read more

Full transparency: I've never actually had the food here because every time we come, we make a beeline for the Captain Crunch milkshake. It's genuinely that good. We've made special trips out here just for it, and now that they offer both dairy and non-dairy options, even more people can experience it. This last time we tried the Strauss ice cream version and it was absolutely delectable. Rich and creamy without being overly sweet, which honestly makes it even more craveable. The staff is always incredibly friendly too, which makes the whole experience feel extra welcoming. Such a fun little treat spot. read more

We went for a quick snack of milkshakes and tater tots. Darren greeted us warmly and took our order. I am not on social media and was pleasantly surprised that they do BOTH vegan and non-vegan foods. Our milkshakes and tots came out quickly. The tots were perfectly crispy and seasoned. They hit the spot. Darren generously let me order my vegan milkshake with Oreo and captain crunch. I loved it! Would do it again as long as they aren't busy--it dirties more dishes. I can't wait to come back to try their jalapeño popper burger read more

While Malibu's burgers may not be the best burger I've had, it's pretty up there for me and it's definitely the best plant based burger I've had. I got the Malibu burger and the patty was nice and crispy. The construction of the burger overall was done really well; there was a great balance of ingredients, all of them great quality. I didn't try any but it seems like there is a great selection of milkshake flavors. Definitely eyeing the ube or guava. I'll be back for sure. read more

I finally got to visit Malibu at their 'new' (I know, it's not that new anymore) location and the burgers are tasty as ever. I really don't crave burgers much these days, but Malibu is the exception. The La Lulu is my favourite--the 'chicken' tastes great and the trimmings make it even more delicious. Plus, the tots and salad make for excellent sides. This space is bigger than Piedmont's, with ample seating inside (and even some parklet spots out front.) Ordering is easy, with both options at a kiosk and with a person at the counter. Food comes out fast. Can't wait to make it back over the bridge and have another! read more

Malibu's came to Oakland United Brewery for the Ales for ALS event - the brought their food truck and I tried their La Lulu chicken sandwich which was incredible!! The texture and tasted of the fried chicken tasted incredible and hard to believe it was vegan. The sandwich was really filling and their fries were great. I wished there were tots but I'll have to check out their brick and mortar soon. The service was great, they were so nice and very quick with our orders. Would recommend and will try out their main location soon! read more

Delicious vegan burgers located close to lake Merritt! I love that this place offers a children's menu, and the burger comes with apple juice and a shake. They offer a few different toppings and are so yummy. My kids tried the cookies and cream and classic chocolate syrup, my kids enjoyed it after their food, so I didn't get a good pic of them but I tasted both. We came on a busy night, but my daughter noted the food and shake was well worth the wait. Good vibes, indoor seating, and overall great service! Support this Black owned, small business, all vegan restaurant in Oakland. :) read more

Love their milkshakes! I can't have dairy and it's been hard to find places that have non-dairy milkshakes! I ordered the cookies n cream shake and it was delicious! I liked that it wasn't too thick but still thick enough to still be a shake. The shakes are on the small side but I think it's healthier that way. I can enjoy it and not over eat/drink. I want to try the different flavors next time! read more

Never order from here, EVER. I ordered the chicken sandwich. Worst chicken sandwich I ever had in my life. I've had bacon thicker than this piece of garbage. Spent 55$ for two meals. BOGUS read more

Great burgers, flavor on point. Many delicious chik'n sandwiches and burgers to choose from.

My daughter and I have followed Malibu's Burgers on Instagram ever since they closed their doors on their previous Oakland site. We have waited patiently for their return to Oakland. Last weekend, after her dance practice, we finally had our favorite burgers. I ordered a Tasha Burger with Hella Hella Fries while my daughter opted for a La Lulu chicken burger with Stadium Fries. We waited along with another pair of customers in the open modern seating area. We were thrilled when our compostable tray made its way to our table after a short wait. Heavenly! Nothing beats Malibu's for vegan goodness. I made a point of telling our hostess/owner how grateful we are that they are back in the Town. We will absolutely be coming through. Sundays offer free street parking so we nabbed a perfect spot down the street. read more

Always amazing, fast and fresh. This is the go to place for burgers. Their shakes are absolutely phenomenal and they have a blackberry habanero sauce that I would buy by the gallon!! read more

Malibu hits EVERY TIME! Burgers are perfection. Buns and patties are crispy and perfectly grilled. Sauce in burger is phenomenal. AND they have soft serve with the kid meals! It's so good! Creamy and not too sweet. Best burgers in the Bay Area! read more

The Malibu burger was fantastic! Chicken tenders were good, the smaller one was a little dry. Not a huge fan of the ube habanero sauce. Tarot tots were good, a pinch of salt would help. We were hoping for the stadium fries but they didn't have any. The cookies and cream milkshake was fantastic. We'll definitely be back. Service was quick and you order on a touchscreen so their is no rush. Plenty of places to sit inside and they also have outdoor seating. read more

Usually, the burgers are damn good. Today I got one that was eh. Over salted. The service is pretty good and the owner is friendly. Friendly ambience, good music when they have it playing in the background. They were one of the restaurants that was decent enough to help out when the EBT payout was canceled. read more

I'm so glad they've reopened in this new location! I am not vegan but I love a good vegan meal. The patty melt is delicious and I 1000% recommend getting garlic tots !!!! My friends ordered the cheesesteak with bacon and the milkshake and both enjoyed their food. It's fresh to order, which is something that I always appreciate. The establishment was clean and the customer service was great. read more

Myself and my little were beyond excited to see that MB was back in the Oakland area. Traveling from the peninsula (E.Palo Alto) to the E.Bay was always a special treat for us both and this place is always at the top of our list. Everything on this menu is incredible(my little and I have tried about 90%) outstanding hospitality from Darren and his incredible staff and the new spot is very clean, all blacked out which is pretty dope and lots of available parking near by. I wasn't fortunate enough to visit their location in Marin but very glad it's back in its original city. Anytime I have to cross the Dumbarton just know that MB and is most definitely on my way and in my sights. You can't go wrong and you WONT be disappointed. I'm drooling just thinking about my next Oreo cookie peanut butter shake. Thankful to Darren for always taking care of us, even in the off hours. read more

I ordered the La Lulu Chicken Sandwich with fries and an Oreo milkshake. The sandwich was very good and the chick'n was crispy. The seasoning on the fries was delicious. The milkshake was absolutely my favorite. It was really creamy and had a strong Oreo flavor and consistency was just like dairy. read more

Those vegan chicken tenders were very good especially with that blackberry sauce! It was spicy but delicious. Yeah I enjoyed the food here both times so far, will be back. read more

Unfortunately, I was quite disappointed with my experience. My order was given to the wrong customer, which suggests that the server or manager, Ray, didn't double-check the order numbers. While they made a new order to attempt to fix the mistake, the resolution felt a bit rushed and sloppy. The waitress Liz wasn't unfriendly, but her demeanor didn't come across as warm or welcoming--there just wasn't much of an inviting energy. Maybe it was me, but I didn't feel like a valued customer. The food also didn't have the same quality or care as the location on Piedmont. With all that in mind, I don't think I'll be returning. read more

Went here by mistake. Burger was burned. Not enough flavor. Cheese was tasteless and wow, they were playing P Diddy . it has a good reputation but they should advertise Vegan on the outside of the building. read more

Burger was fire. Needy meaty is the way to go. Plenty of cheese and so juicy it caught me off guard. Ask for extra napkins. On the other side, fries were a little disappointing, 5 bucks and only had a half full tiny box. Crinkle fries drenched in garlic oil. Not the crispy wedges advertised in the photo. Just a heads up. Overall good. Came for the fries, returning for the burgers. read more

I ordered the kids' burger meal since I wasn't hungry but wanted to try a couple different items. The burger was fine, nothing to write home about, but the fries were disappointing. They were lukewarm, and the inside was chunky, the kind of texture when you reheat frozen fries and the inside doesn't cook through. I appreciate their letting me order of the kids' menu, though! read more

Normally do not like to leave bad reviews but waited over 20 minutes for just a shake, no sense of urgency from the staff or acknowledgement with the quality's of the shake being like cold milk read more

They're customers service is amazing and food is even more amazing!! I go there every other week and food is always good, they put enough sauce on everything so nothing is ever dry! read more

I'm really trying to like this place, but they have no consistently. I just ordered hella hella fries. I got stadium fries. I asked for the hella hella fries. The menu says cheese, sauce, and grilled onions are in them. I got no grilled onions. I ordered a patty melt the other week and they had no sour dough-- and the left the grilled onions off that. I LOVE grilled onions! Why have them on the menu if you never add them!!?!?!?! read more

Called like 10 times at 2:50 for take out and when they finally decided to pick up the phone, they seemed annoyed and told me the kitchen is closed til 5:30. The hours say it's closed at 3. Well maybe they need to update their hours in the website. read more

Best shake and burger spot in town. Recommend this place to non-vegan friends and they also loved it!

This is my favorite burger place in Oakland. I love what they do with burgers. I always get the needy meaty and it never disappoints. This is the best way to be a decadent vegan. read more

This place flat out rules. For what it's worth, I'm neither vegetarian nor vegan. Malibu's goes toe-to-toe with any non-vegan burger shop in the Bay. The loaded fries are devastating, and the shakes also are great. Also the owner is super friendly and cool. Give these guys all your money. read more

I've been wanting to try this place for a long time but I was a little disappointed. I wanted a beyond burger but they were out so I substituted mushroom. It was too chewy & rubbery. I had the stadium fries & they were good. The owner took my information to make things right which I appreciate. I will give them another try. read more

The food is worth 5/5 stars!! So good!! -1 star for service, which was a challenge for them in their last space. We walked in during a weekend dinner/rush time. I noticed there were a lot of people waiting but no food being served. No one greeted us. There was a person restocking the drinks section, which seemed unnecessary during a rush time. We didn't know who to talk to about our pick up order, and no one seemed interested in helping us. So we just stood their awkwardly with everyone else clearly doing the same. Then the person restocking drinks finished, walked past all of us, and disappeared in the back. Milkshake maker still has not acknowledged anyone...Finally the person making milkshakes paused...we thought...to grab his Doordash order from the front door. Still no acknowledgement, and people are starting to get frustrated. The person finally finishes and starts to distribute our orders...no apology or acknowledgment of all of us waiting. The folks waiting for food in the restaurant (not pick up) never were served while we were there. We received a text alert that our food was ready, but there was no one to ask about it. Then two folks waiting in line to order left. I worry that poor service will be Malibu's downfall again. I highly recommend redirecting staff or hiring a staff member to greet customers and take orders!!! read more

These are the best vegan burgers you will find! However, they regularly leave items off the order. I ordered two orders of a burger with fries and only got one very small order of fries. This is not the first time this has happened to me, and is especially is true for delivered items. Also, there is no direct phone number listed for them on Yelp or on the receipt, and when I called the number on their website, a recording said they were closed, even though it was before closing time. So, I couldn't contact them to let them know. read more

Yay! They are back in Oakland. Oh how we missed them. So happy the gluten free buns are back too. There is just no other place that does a vegan burger better. read more

This is the best vegan burger that I've ever had. They have other options, including the milkshakes.

Best veggie burgers served by the friendliest people!! I haven't been to the new location yet but I remember when they were in the Piedmont Ave area and I'm still thinking about the yummy food read more

Hands down my favorite burger in Oakland. Highly recommend the classic Malibus burger

3.5 stars - Oakland Location let me talk about potatoes. I love potatoes. and I don't mean like some regular person who sees a potato at the store and goes mehh maybe. I say yes to potatoes. every time. I LOVE POTATOES. hard potato? soft potato? mashed potato? i'm in. invited to the cookout and no potato? i'm OUT. if man ever made potato protein, I would be the first in line so when I asked for a 2 fry order and got home to see only 1 fry order... you know I was devastated. upset, crying even. Tried to hide it from my cat but she knew.. she knew. my only hope is that I lock myself in my own kitchen and make an ode to the lost order of potato from malibus burgers at 7:02pm on a cold sunday night in the town. that or a refund. but a refund wouldn't justify. I want to walk in there and have them know I am potato king, and be greeted one time with my missing potato order. I want them to know my yearning. that and the vegan bacon (and pickles requested) was missing on the needy meaty and still needed more meaty but that's another story. would like to see yall thrive here as well as grant me the potato king crown, that is my wish read more
