    I grew up with this Nations and always raved about it to out of towners, praising their burgers and pies. Not sure when it went down hill, but the quality has been so poor lately. Their chocolate/banana pies have extremely soggy crusts, the cheesecake tastes so fake (and I'm pretty sure used to be taller), and their apple pies are mostly corn starchy goop. Their onion rings are worse than captain crunch in that they'll up rip up the roof of your mouth. Too thick of batter that's overly fried. The only saving grace are their burgers, which are getting borderline gross as they're getting soggier and soggier. I'm always disappointed after a meal here now.

    Pie day!

    I love Nation's! There I said it and am done....just kidding! It's so nice to have a regular old fashioned hamburger with OG toppings. Sometimes crisp iceberg lettuce, tomatoes and sliced onions is all that is needed versus smashed, fried egg, blue cheese etc. Today, is pi day so a nice healthy slice of lemon meringue is what was in order. They have a seasonal blueberry pie which was tempting but the guy at the register said to go with the lemon which happens to be my favorite anyway. The crazy is flakey, lemony custard and a big layer of meringue completes this delightfully light treat. Parking is easy and there are usually plenty of seats. Please support this great local franchise. Have a burger, chili cheese fries (daughter's favorite), a soft ice cream cone, milkshake and or pie. So many options! Pro tip....each year at the Moraga Pie Festival, Nation's bakes the special, festival only, pear pie. It's very good!

    Everyone we visit that place my husband and I are reminiscing of our college days when we were young and broke and dining at Nation's was our treat! Since then not a lot change :-) however, they do have vegan burgers and no sugar added apple pie to support your dietary needs. We order vegan burger, regular burger, eggs with pancakes. Burgers were delicious (and yes even the vegan one), eggs were great, however pancakes were below average/tasteless and chewy,like they were made from old batter. I will recommend the side of hush brown instead. The highlight was of course the apple pie with no sugar added. Truly tasted like a homemade treat. Service was on a slow side, however given the obvious limited resources that place had, that did a good job! Interior is of an old fashion burger joint, not a lot of room to seat, so if you are coming around busy lunch time expect to wait for the table.

    Every one's favorite. Cooked from fresh in front of your drooping watering mouth - delicious tasty staple food that actually taste fab. Can get busy and rightly so, so be patient, be polite to the hard working staff and enjoy.

    The service here is sub par. The hours on the window state that they're open til 10 pm; but we were turned away at 9:20 because they had shut people down. If that's the case the hours should be 9:00 pm so they can adjust accordingly. They also kicked out people who were able to order ahead of us and told them they couldn't eat in the dining hall. Again, if that's the case the hours should be labeled to end at 9:00 pm so the community knows these policies.

    Slice of Banana Crème Pie
    Stefan D.

    Went here after the gym because I didn't want to cook anything for dinner tonight I ordered a hamburger with grilled onions, onion rings, and a slice of banana crème pie. My onion rings looked and tasted burnt so I asked a waiter if I can get another tray of it. The second time it tasted much better. I was most excited for the banana crème pie, but when I ate it, it lacked banana flavor. Overall, this place is average. I might come back to try out their other pie flavors though.

It's always such a relief when a server understands dietary restrictions and takes the time to make thoughtful recommendations. I ended up ordering the burger with gluten-free fries, since the chicken dishes contained garlic, and I'm so glad I did. The burger was cooked perfectly and was absolutely delicious. I also ordered a cocktail made with Nolet's Gin, pineapple, and another ingredient I can't quite remember. It was garnished with a dehydrated pineapple slice and was light, refreshing, and full of flavor. My husband ordered the chicken sandwich and said it was perfect. He made sure to saved room for dessert and thoroughly enjoyed the bread pudding. From the attentive service to the delicious food and relaxing patio atmosphere, everything about our visit was excellent. We will definitely be back and highly recommend dining here!

He said it was good. No complaints. I ordered a salmon sandwich that had cole slaw and pickles on a brioche bun. It was very messy to eat. I think they should have used a more crusty bread, one that will hold the sandwich together. The sandwich fell apart on me and I had to eat it with a knife and fork. We asked for some hot sauce, but the waitress failed to mention that it wasn't free. Who charges for hot sauce anyway? We don't mind paying $1 for it, but at least warn us. Overall, this place had good vibes, the waitstaff was great and attentive and we didn't wait long for the check.

    Great area for a weekend brunch type vibe. The street is cute and looks like it has a lot going on…read more Lots of metered parking lots nearby so parking wasn't that bad. A friend of mine drove a few blocks down the road and found free street parking too. The place itself has multiple seating options. It has an outside patio, casual indoor and even bar seating and what looks like a nicer dining area for occasions and birthdays with very nice chandeliers and tables. We sat in the nice room for my friends bday. We were a group of 13 and our total was about $500 for brunch items, mímosas. They gave a bread pudding for the bday girl on the house. I felt like the prices are a bit high but that's a personal opinion. I got the frittata which tasted alright and it was $24. Service was decent but nothing too good or too bad that stood out from it either. If they have a happy hour, I'll come back again because the ambiance is very nice. I was told that my dish comes with a free side salad but i was later charged for a sad looking garden lettuce salad for $8. I still don't know what happened there. Maybe a miscommunication.
