    Hamburger and Chicken Burger
    Richard G.

    Nation's is awesome. The burgers are so good. They're giant, delicious, and always hit the spot. Even their healthier chicken burgers are tasty. This place rocks!

    This review is strictly for the whole Apple Pie purchased a few days ago... I was on the hunt for a very very very last minute pie- APPLE PIE to be exact. After attempt #1's location being completely wiped clean, I was thinking of heading to a well known grocery store. Unfortunately, I was not willing to hop back on the freeway and loop all the way around due to already passing its vicinity. With Nation's being not too far of a detour, I opted to give their apple pie a try since the posts on Yelp seemed promising and the banana cream pie I had here [YEARS AGO] was really enjoyed. Parking was a breeze and from what I could see, there was only one couple seated in the entire joint. I made my way up to the pie case and was so happy to see an abundance of pie options. I made the purchase and was out the door fairly quickly. Fast forward to pie time, the pie was okay. With the crust looking pretty pale we made the decision to pop the tray into the oven to warm up and get a bit of a tan. The filling flavor was doable- not the worst but certainly not the best. The crust is where the biggest disappointment lies. It was bland and lacked that flakey, butteriness you would typically find. 2 stars. Good ol' Costco would have come through with a larger serving, better taste/quality, and saved me some coins!! Meh.

    I was happy to find a Nations spot in Fremont as there are more stores located in East Bay. I was really craving a burger and a piece of pie and they definitely didn't disappoint! The cashier who took our order and the staff were super friendly. They were patient when we wanted to look at the pie display and answer all our questions. I would definitely be back for the lovely service alone! The burger was awesome, it was cooked well and the sauce blended nice with the other burger fixings. I loved the banana cream pie and cheesecake. I'll definitely be back soon to this Nations!

    Not Apple Pie

    Disappointed with Nations in Hayward I don't often write reviews, but my experience at Nations Hamburgers in Hayward was so frustrating that I felt compelled to share. My son absolutely loves pie, so when his birthday rolled around, I decided to get him an apple pie from Nations, a place I thought highly of. I drove to the Hayward location on my way back from work in SF since it was on the way to Fremont. The guy who helped me was very nice and I even tipped him. I made the comment that "oh you guys changed the box " since you can now see the pie as opposed to the old all cardboard boxes. Later that evening, we sang happy birthday to my son, and my wife even stuck candles in the pie. Unfortunately, when we cut into the pie later that evening, it was not apple as we expected--it was boysenberry. Talk about a letdown during a birthday celebration! I called the restaurant and spoke with Jhon, who was very friendly and helpful (turns out to be the same guy who helped me in the restaurant). He tried to refund me over the phone with no luck. He spoke with his manager Ophelia. He assured me that if I brought my receipt back within 24 hours, they would process a refund--and I certainly made a mental note of that. However, when I returned the next day after work, I was met with further frustration. The manager, Ophelia, was nowhere to be found. The cashier, while sympathetic to my situation, called Ophelia on her cell phone for guidance. Here's where things got really infuriating. Ophelia said she couldn't help me because I didn't bring back the pie. I explained that Jhon never mentioned that I needed to return the pie, just the receipt. After all, it was my son's birthday, and I couldn't very well serve something nothing when we believed an apple pie was there. I made sure not to touch a slice, until Jhon had assured me a refund was possible! Ophelia repeated that she couldn't assist me and was on vacation until April 13. When I asked how there wasn't anyone else who could help in her absence, she simply said no. This complete lack of support and accountability was astounding. I've come to expect better service from Nations, which is why this experience stood out as unacceptable. Overall, I feel let down by the whole situation. My son doesn't like cake and was looking forward to enjoying his favorite delicious apple pie from Nations. Instead, his birthday memory is tainted by this experience. Unfortunately, I think it's safe to say we'll be taking our business to the Fremont location in the future, where they seem to know how to treat their customers better. So, for anyone considering visiting this Nations location, please think twice. You might just find yourself in a similar predicament. **Update** I spoke to Ophelia and she said well I can actually help you when I get back from vacation. Just write your phone number down and I will text you when your refund is ready. So I'll look forward to that in 13 days. It still blows my mind that there's nobody else that can help in that situation while the manager is away, but I'll raise the grade to a D for the overall final attempt. Just check your pie before you leave the restaurant.

    FRENCH FRIES

    We dined here on a Saturday afternoon. Not a lot of people. Lots of parking. The cashier was polite, place was clean. I ordered the hamburger and my husband ordered the cheeseburger. The burgers were really big, with lettuce onion and tomato. I enjoyed the burger but the burger could be thicker, lol! The beef was juicy and delicious. The burger was only around 8 bucks and the cheeseburger was only around $9 something, maybe that's why the burger wasn't that thick,lol! The fries are ok. I'll go back again if I'm craving to eat a hamburger.

    Food was good worth coming back for. Burgers are well made and everything added was fresh. I love their fries, fresh and thick. Oreo shake was thick and drinkable through a straw. Service was...eh. The women who rang us up wasn't friendly at all, bland expressions and I got the impression her look translated into "hurry up and order". Come to find out she left work shortly after we ordered perhaps she had a long shift and just wanted to be outta there. Honestly, totally relatable but from a customer stand point it set the tone off not well for my kids and I. I went with 3 stars because there is no kids menu and I paid $9 for my 7 year old to eat a little more then half her cheese burger. I would say this place doesn't have a kid friendly menu mixed with blah service they get 3 stars, but the food was good nothing over the top that sets them apart from any other burger spot.

    CHEESEBURGER, Onion Rings, French Fries
    Crystal H.

    We ordered the buy 1 get one free deal from DoorDash and also got a paper advertisement in the mail. We ordered CHEESEBURGER, Onion Rings, French Fries. Everything was good except for the fries. The fries were soft and soggy...I had to air fry them in the air fryer. Food took less than 10 mins. You can ask for grilled onions instead of raw onions. Pumpkin pie wasn't overly sweet. Not busy for Saturday around 7pm. Casual dining place.

    Overcooked FRENCH FRIES
    Paula R.

    I ordered food to go..The burger was just not as good as it has been in the past.. I don't know what the problem was..I also specifically asked for an order of fries lightly cooked, and what I got was an order of fries overcooked..

I originally came in for Dubai inspired chocolate pistachio cheesecake but was instead greeted so warmly by head pastry chef Nile! She is full of life and so passionate about her baked goods.

It was sweet and decadent for sure. Definitely perfect for sharing! I loved the blueberry ube cheesecake and so did Mom! I was looking for my leftovers and they disappeared from the fridge. Creamy and slightly fruity with that thick buttery crust-- amazing! Pistachio Ricotta cake was light and moist. Perfect when you want something delicately sweetened for tea time. Red Velvet cheesecake cup was just ok for me due to the cheesecake frosting. I think I would've preferred a whole slice of cake instead. This bakery kiosk is a part of Turkish-Mediterranean restaurant Moussaka. Interior has the cutest cafe tables and chairs. Love the grey with baby pink + mint green color scheme. Step inside and go directly to the dessert display to place an order. They're also on DoorDash. Can't wait to see what Chef Nile comes up with next!

I finally found some time to visit with my cousin on a quiet Friday early afternoon. We were greeted to a beautiful, clean, and well organized store by the kind and polite owner, Areej. The vibe of the store very much so echoed a candy store you'd find in a shopping mall, except all the sweet treats are handmade and imported from countries such as Palestine and Turkey. Areej was very kind and welcoming and walked us through each of the different sweet treats, such as truffles and Turkish delights. There are also various mixed roasted nuts options with unique seasonings, and even Dubai chocolate strawberry cups! Areej was kind and generous, providing ample samples of the Turkish delights in flavors like Oreo, Dubai chocolate, birthday cake, and even sesame chocolate! My cousin also really likes their mixed party nuts that had a great spicy kick to it from a special blend of imported spices. Because of Areej's hospitality and generosity, as well as the prime quality of the chocolate truffles, mixed toasted nuts, and Turkish delights we were able to sample, I definitely did not hesitate to take home some delectable goodies (see photos). There also were skincare products made in Palestine, and I bought this homemade rose scented olive oil soap that I'll be gifting to my friend for her birthday :) Thank you so much, Areej, for being so welcoming! We will definitely recommend to others and come back! PS: It was mentioned that in the past, many people would walk in, sample large amounts of the shop's goodies, and then rudely leave the store without buying anything. Honestly, that's so distasteful! We need to support small businesses as much as possible, and even buying as much as one tiny chocolate truffle helps sustain businesses like The Old City Roastery.
