I am very disappointed with the cheese burgers and fries I received today. Nation Burgers are my favorite burgers and French fries, I only treat myself to eating out once a month and today I choose my favorite burger! I saved up my money and calories to splurge, after the first few bites of my burger and fries it tasted like freezer burn on both. It was horrible, not fresh at all but even worse was that taste. I hope this is not their new norm. read more

Really the only reason this place gets four stars is nostalgic reasons. The food is not particularly stand out. Greasy spoon type food. But all significant events in my life, I end up eating here in preparation for the event, or for recovery from the event. Good pre game post game place. It fast, cheap, and opens super early. Plus they do have veggie burgers. Breakfast is sooooo much cheaper and the same quality of IHOP or Denny's. read more

These people answer the phone and never remember to pick it up.... they did this 3 different times.. rude...

Use to have a great product at a reasonable price. Can't say our last visit to support a local business produced the same result. Burger wasn't as good as Carls or McDs and overpriced. Hardworking staff, poor product read more

The only downfall is every time I've tried to call to place an order the phone company tells me it's busy you may need to contact the phone company to fix it or hang up your phone read more

Feeling a tad hungover? Is it lunchtime and you just have no idea how to get everything you need to get through the next 10 hours? Get thee to a Nations. Yummy burgers-- greasy, basic and just plain humongous. Fries hot from the deep fryer, and if you can handle it, a slice of pie just to give yourself something else to handle. I love Nations, and the Livermore Nations has a special place in my heart being one of the first that I ever ate from. It's a cute little family spot. read more

I am a fan of Nations, so when I see one I will stop and have a Grilled Cheese sandwich w/bacon. :) Overall the restaurant is clean and well maintained. Staff is friendly and quick with my order. I will be back at this store when I'm in the area. read more

I had never been to this location. It is definitely a Nations burger spot. The burger was huge! I ordered the bacon cheeseburger and it was fantastic. The location is clean and less sketchy than other Nations that I have been to. The food was fresh and delicious. I wish I lived closer so I could go back . read more

We were on our way to Livermore wine country and wanted to put some food in our belly first. We stopped in here.We'd been to the one in Vallejo (incidentally, on our way to Sonoma for wine tasting!); and this location is SOO much nicer and cleaner. Not to mention the food here tasted a lot better. I got a bacon cheeseburger, and it was fantastic. Tasted like something you would make at home, only better because you don't have to do any of the work. We split chili cheese fries- it came with melted slices of American cheese instead of shredded cheese. Very good. Hubby ordered the cheesecake; we all got a bite. It tastes like yellow cake batter- but it seemed to work out, it was tasty. Decent, fair prices. Friendly service; quick to come out. read more

Wowee Zowee! Without a doubt, one of the best burgers ever. I had the burger with Ortega Chili on it and it was spectacular. The onions were sweet, the meat was juicy, the cheese was melty, and the veggies were cold and crisp. Big messy sloppy burger that I could barely stuff in my face. What a mess. I wasn't too hungry and didn't order any fries. The iced tea was a tad watery, and the sweetened tea was nothing but water. Plenty of parking. Some day I'll have to try the pie. The only reason I don't give them a five star rating is because the bathroom was positively disgusting. The smell made me cough and gag. You *have* to use the bathroom after eating to wash all the delicious burger and sauce drippings off your hands, and that's just unfortunate. I dunno, maybe bring some handy wipes so you don't have to use the bathroom. read more

I have been stuck in bed with a cold and my husband decided to cheer me up with a meal from Nation's. He ordered two giant hamburgers, chili cheese fries, and a chocolate shake. The meal was meadeocre at best. I would recommend In and Out for not only the burgers but the chocolate shake. I hope to be back but not for the burgers. read more

For years my elderly father has told me that Nation's has the best hamburgers in Livermore. He wanted one for dinner tonight and he told me I could call and order in advance. I did call and was asked to hold and was promptly hung up on. To prevent further frustration I went to Nation's in person and ordered the food to go. Now I'm an In-N-Out gal and my favorite is the cheeseburger with grilled onions. I decided to give the Nation's cheeseburger a try. The cheeseburger was big, it had a lot of cheese, tomatoes, lettuce, and onions on it. It was messy, the buns were not grilled, it did not have the savory flavor of In-N-Out burgers, but it wasn't bad. The french fries at Nation's were pretty darn good. The lady working the counter was friendly and efficient. read more

I lived in Livermore for 7 years and came here a grand total of 2 times. And this was the closet burger joint to where I lived. That should tell you how much I like this place. If it was just the food, I probably would give it 3 stars. But this place is SO SLOOOOOW. I think both times it took like almost 20 minutes to get my food and they didn't look particularly busy. I understand its not fast food, but still it shouldn't take this long. The burgers are not all that to begin with. Add to it the long wait and that equals a rare visit from me. read more

It's ok . Needs to step it up they take long to order alone . Burgers 2 star breakfast 2 stars . But it's a good place to kill time and have a snack attack. read more

I just walked into the place. The cashier was rude for absolutely no reason. She did not have to be so abusive with her explanation.

This is the only nations burgers in Livermore. They taste great, I have to agree they are a bit messy but we didn't mind the taste makes up for it.The cashier was an unhappy twenty something year old, who looked like she was having a bad day. The place looked a bit messy table was sticky and lots of condiments all over. And we supposedly picked the cleanest. read more

The cheesecake was above average, but the apple pie was a huge disappointment. Not sweet, and a cardboard-like blandness to the crust. I do like that you can purchase half-pies. That gives you a bit more variety without being a glutton. Twice, they messed up our to-go order on burgers. Not bad tasting, but it is a bit frustrating to get home only to find that you got the wrong thing. Check before you leave! Not horrible, but I haven't rushed to go back, either. read more

To go food, is NOT the way to go At this nations! I've had breakfast here before but ate there, and it was really good. Today I ordered food to go and it was nowhere near the quality of eating there. Got a $10 omelette that look like it should've been a five dollar omelette! The toast was not toast it was bread spread with some butter. The yoke of the egg was broken all over my hashbrowns. Hopefully their burgers are better when you get them to go; those are kind a hard to screw up, one would think! read more

Good burgers and fries, food, but staff is lathargic and very slow. Like 25 minutes and we were the only ones there at 1 PM on weekday afternoon. There were two people there. read more

Tried banana cream pie from Nation's Giant Hamburgers and it was delicious, they use fresh ingredients for sure. The pie was well balanced, pie crust was just right not very thick not very thin, the custard and bananas filling was just delicious not overly sweet, wiped cream on top was fresh didn't leave any creamy layer/film in the mouth. Made my day. Thank You NGH :-) read more

Although the people who work there are kind and efficient. The kitchen was filthy and the food was terrible. I have to admit the kids like the chili dog ( hence the 1 star). read more

I was a little dissapointed with the customer service. The energy was a bit low and I could feel the fact that they wanted to be anywhere but behind the counter preparing meals. The food was decent but I have definitly had better. I had a Chicken Sandwich with French Fries. It was a good portion for the size but I was not too impressed with the flavors. They were not to complimentary and the huge chunk of lettuse made it difficult to take big bites which I prefer when eating a sandwich or burger. All in all, I would much rather go to IN and Out then this Nations wich does not say much to me since it is a sit down dinner. read more

Ok the food is fast food so expectations are low. But I found a hair in my fries look up and not one of the food prep folks are wearing a hair net. They did have gloves on thankfully. The tap water tasted like mold don't know what that's about. read more

I really dont like giving one stars or 2 however this nations doesnt deserve one than 2 stars... when I order and I say can I get a cheeseburger the first rwsponce by the assistant manager at thr register is do you want a cheeseburger and bacon on that. my response no how about fries with that burger no did you want to drink to wash it all down at that point I didn't even answer it really bothers me how companies push push push trust me if I wanted a drink I think I would have known I don't have to have somebody ask me. Asked for grilled onion and they were not grilled. Ask for it togo and it was on a tray....to many fails for something that is assemblyline... Stephan would not approve of the flashing light on the soda machine. read more

This restaurant really symbolizes what breakfast is all about. It's eggs, pancakes, french toast and so much more are delicious breakfast food. There burgers are great, with delicious fries and onion rings on the side. But the best of all is the pies. All of them are great! I haven't been in a while but it's always a great place any time of the day. read more

I came in here after a 12 hour workday looking for dinner with my family. After ordering I went to get mustard, and the mustard apparently squirts outward and NOT down. I was wearing my brand new LuLaRoe Irma for the first time and it squirted all down the front of it and my jeans totally ruining it. The staff tried to help rinse off the shirt but while trying the girl tells me that it sucks and that she's been squirted before! Are you kidding me!?! You've been squirted and you didn't think that's one, a hazard if anyone fell in the mess but two, ruining people's clothes!!! I asked her to have the manager call me and she said the manager wasn't here. She then suggested I call tomorrow when I asked again to have the manager call me. Here's the kicker, I'm sitting here, the mess is still on the floor and the offending machine is STILL there waiting to attack another customer. I will be contacting corporate. read more

The food is good, one of the better burgers out there, but the customer service is garbage. If you can accept that, you'll enjoy the food.

4.5 stars for the food and 2 stars for the service. I phoned to make a to go order and the girl asked me to hold so I got to listen to one other person order and then I got to hear the employees chat for about five minutes. "Emily" finally had to be reminded to take the phone order. When I got there I thought there would be a line out the door or something but no. They always seem short staffed here which leads to longer wait times and poor customer service. read more

So tonight I called Nations to order and was put on hold (by a man per the lady his name was Bruce. I think she altered the truth) and I sat there and listened to everyone's conversations and orders. My husband left to the location waited in line & advised them my wife is on hold 30 min and (click) they hung up on me. The man before my husband placed a phone order that was lost. Needless to say my husband walked out. When I called back she said she is busy. Hubby was there NOT BUSY!!! And no meat on the grill. read more

Nations is old school burger place however the Manager was so rude she was the cashier and assistant cook had an attitude as I was placing my order not to mention she took my order wrong and got mad once I told her she rolled her eyes at me as if she was doing me a favor ,maybe she should consider another job plus place was filthy dirty dnt think I'll be coming back soon as much as I love Giant burgers here I'll take my business elsewhere. read more

Ok East Bayonites. You've got your choice between San Ramon, Livermore and Pleasanton to experience Nations. Skip on going to the Pleasanton one ... the Livermore and San Ramon locations kick some major boote' over Ptown. NOW, I'm not sure about breakfast, but the hamburgers and fries aren't as good. You can't go wrong with a cheeseburger with grilled onions ... they normally put raw on ther burgers so you have to request that. Oh my gosh my mouth is totally watering!!!!! The shakes will send you over the top and someone will have to bring a stretcher over to your table to take you out to your car if you have a piece of their pie ... it is GINORMOUS! mmmmm ... my favorite(s) are the any berry pie and the chocolate aka french silk. Dang it I need a Nations Fix. I'd even break out in a little song and dance ... oh, I'm getting inspired to write a Nation's jingle. Ok, maybe I'm taking it a little to far. NATIONS ROCKS the hamburger world! read more

We ordered Breakfast "to-go", we each ordered the "Giant 2-egger" with french toast and it was amazingly still hot when we got it home. If I have a smile on my face before I even eat, then it's a good sign. I'll definitely go here again, maybe i'll even eat inside one day. read more

now i'm a huge fan of nations and still think it's one of the best burgers in the bay area except for val's burgers of course but not at this location. what has happened to this location? please don't make me have to go to in n out, i hate in n out burgers. this location has just got sloppy and careless about the quality and taste of their burgers. the meat is dry and flavorless and each bite is very boring. and please can you get back to the good old days of a clean looking grill, someone that can understand me when i give them my order and actually have experience with cooking american food. since i live in san ramon and i go to that location all of the time and i always have the greatest experience. i hate to admit i'm scared to eat here at times because i never know what i might find. please mr. dale powers i beg you to get this location as well as pleasanton back on track fast. i really miss the good old days of a great burger at nations. read more

Nations for breakfast!! They have the best inexpensive HUGE breakfasts ever! The burgers are good, their pies are delish...but for me its all about the breakfast. Its usually pretty crowded and once you eat there you will understand. Soooo good. Not good for you, but still good. read more

I have to say this morning was one of the worse breakfast that I have ever had, it must have been a long time since you have seen your coworker, since to spent more time talking to her than cooking the meals, eggs over easy with no hard yolk means just that, not cut out the over cooked yolk and serve me the egg whites, sorry excuse for hash browns, drenched in oil and over cooked, but on the bright side, I did need my teeth cleaned. And thank you for the burnt French toast, such a complex task making breakfast for the 6 people in the place, going to be a long tIme until I come back again read more

Usually love nations breakfast but today ordered to go and I'm not impressed. First there were no comments, no butter or syrup for the French toast and no jelly for the cold floppy bread which should've been toast, no salt or pepper for rhe almost raw hash browns with no seasoning and linguisa onmlets with no cheese. So disappointed. Tried calling and the phone rang until someone switched the fax on. read more

Nation's always have good hamburgers, that's where the two stars come from. Service sucked. Miserable employees carry over to miserable customers. Lady cooking forgot my fries, when I asked for them she rolled her eyes and gave me the biggest attitude. It was only when she saw she didn't put the fries on the tray that she switched up her attitude. Not cool. read more

The manager doesn't care there was garbage everywhere he gave me a hotdog and french fries french fries were old and with the nations logo upside down on the paper just threw it on a dirty Trey Thay need to get people to care about working at nation s read more

I give up. I've given it 3 tries with different friends and every time they have messed up something. The Nations in Hayward makes this one seem worst than McDonalds. You tell them no onions and you either get just onions or nothing at all? The last time they were seriously struggling just 2 women- the orange haired guy was on break- we were the only ones waiting and they called a number that wasn't ours?! When the realized this they insisted the food was ours, not wanting to be too rude I checked it out in the car and but of course we were missing 2 of our fries. No apology no nothing they corrected it after I insisted they had it wrong they were so lost. I tried fosters freeze the other night and it beats this Nations out of the water. read more

This place is disgusting......went here for the first time the place was dirty and when i bite into my burger there was a long piece of hair in it and when i took it back they looked at it and me like it was normal......i will never go to this again DISGUSTING read more
