I parked and walked up to get something to eat. the old lady yelled at me and said "No public parking!" I said okay and kept walking up to order and she yelled again and said "What do you mean what?!" and I said "Okay never mind, I won't eat here then." I don't understand how she assumed I wasn't eating there walking towards the counter. I am black and she was asian so I'm not surprised she immediately had a problem with me. read more

===== Good, clean, honest burger ===== Ok, In-N-Out is just always going to be king of the hill for me. But this burger goes in a different direction. No special sauce, no secret menu, no real theme even. But it's a solid burger. Produce tasted super fresh (the test is always eating the wayward produce that falls out without the patty and bun - you'll find out really quickly if it's not fresh!), clean taste with the quality produce and layer of mayo. It's deceptively filing. I remember seeing it at the bottom of the bag and being a tad disappointed it wasn't absolutely huge. But I was definitely full as I got to the end of it. Service was nice and friendly. It's a tad pricey (again, see In-N-Out) but it's still cheaper than Five Guys and I'd argue far superior to Five Guys. Would come back and try the rest of what they offer (def fries and shakes - gotta try more than one shake in case the first one was an off one ) read more

This is the best burger I'd say in the Bay Area, it's better than any walk-in restaurant . Sesame seed bun that is not too big, I don't like fat buns to filling. A very tasty quarter pound of meat a whole slice of onion a slice of tomato and some lettuce Mayonnaise mustard that's all it takes. Just like back in the 50s I'll be back read more

Quarter Pound Giant Burger - Double cheese burfer - Burgers Near Me - Oakland, California

Unfortunately, this place is just what you'd expect, from seeing the "original" road sign in modern times. Not a retro visit to times gone by where these restaurants made burgers from fresh ground beef and cut their own fries and onion rings, but an overpriced burger joint that buys frozen burgers, fries, and onion rings from Sysco and slaps them together quickly and you can sit outside in the cold while the schizophrenic homeless man verbally assaults your wife. read more

Although we cannot go in and sit down at their small counter area as I did growing up as a wild Oakland street kid, the delicious cheeseburgers, fries, and chocolate shake remain the same. Expect to pay about $15 for all 3 items these days. $10.00 debit or credit card minimum. They're open until 11 PM but go during daytime. read more

Looking for a great burger? Look no further. My boss brought me here for lunch and I'm hooked! I ordered the bacon burger with cheese and grilled onions and some CURLY FRIES. (Who doesn't love curly fries!) It was all exactly what I expected. (If you're not a fan of Mayo, I'd say light Mayo ) This is a great place to stop for lunch.

This is a basic burger place that serves ok burgers. If you're starving and want "ok" food then this will be acceptable. I can say that I ordered a Turkey burger w/ onion rings. The rings were over cooked and I got about 6 mid sized rings. Yet another underwhelming experience. read more

A great place to get food on Christmas Eve during a pandemic. Tables were closed for social distancing. The food was ready quickly. My husband and I shared a veggie burger, curly fries, & a chocolate shake. Portion sizes were decent, prices were a little expensive, but everything tasted delicious. I'd go back for sure. read more

Good burger, chili cheese fries and chicken nuggets. Old American style burger joint. Decent value. A very casual place. Outdoor seating and across the street from a bar next door. Actually very pleasnt to have a bar and some food so close together. The burger and chicken nuggets weren't particularly beautiful but they were tasty. The bun was probably the weakest part of the burger. Friendly help at the window but seemed very slow with apparently few people ahead of us. I like to drink Coke with my burgers... they were out tonight. read more

So before I am to leave out of town for a week, I wanted and was salivating about a juicy burger. Quarter Pounder Giant Burgers was first to come to mind, since I was so close to it. Another burger spot was a thought, but was to close before I could even get there. So of course, Quarter Pound Giant Burgers, just had to be my actual only option. YES! I ordered a bacon avocado cheeseburger with everything on it. Fries and a strawberry milkshake. Paid with my credit card. Remembered that this place had nacho cheese. So I wanted some. Having a $10 minimum for card usage, I couldn't use my card. As this was my only payment option for the day. Had asked for the cheese and found out I wasn't able to add to my initial card payment. Doesn't matter, I'll just get the gooey cheese next time I come by, I told the lady at the counter. Other patrons got their food in due time. Mine came thence after. I left and noticed that the lady must have wanted to be kind and had given me the savory nacho cheese in dip sauce containers. That made my day and night. To the lady at the front counter, thank you, kindly for the nacho cheese dipping sauces to go with my fries! read more

Good burger but one helluva wait. Plan on a 30 minute wait time. Got our order and waited over 20 minutes for a fish sandwich. Good but definitely frozen. Tartar sauce was minimal. Fries are good but need salt. Other than that, pretty good. read more

Sitting here now. Enjoying the smell of fried goodness....kid's food delivered hot and quick! Corn dog is delectable! Chewing on Bacon Burger now.....so delicious! French fries hotttt, and ohh so gooooood! Cheese fries perfect, just right amount of Nacho cheese goodiness! They also offered chedder! Service was very friendly! My son and wife pointed out the fries were white, not brown, but they were indeed cooked through, and hot, just not super crisp (but not raw.) some may complain, but I think it was the oil they used, not the cooking time. Also, I was eating at 10 am, so the service was noticeably faster than other lunch times, I'm quite certain. All in all, an awesome experience!!!! I will def go back!!!!! read more

C'mon man, this place never answers phone calls, doesn't do phone app delivery services, but they stay hustlin'. They make a pretty dam good burgers (and fries) when you're craving a plain old fashioned burger. If you want a grass fed hipster burger, go across the street and pay double the price. read more

Classic roadside burger stand burgers. Hits the spot. Good fries and shakes, too. Among the last of a historic East Bay burger chain.

This is a classic burger joint. Straight to the point. I get the giant burger combo, hot fries. I usually wash the burger down with a crispy cola. Simple burger, very nostalgic to me. read more

Since 1965 I have been eating quarter pounders and and apple pie . I just Googled to see if they were still open in 2023 . Born and raised in Diamond District .

They're still open and operating! Support local businesses! This is my favorite burger spot in the area. It's not exactly gourmet, but I'd rather eat here than at any fast-food joint. Everything's made to order, but comes out relatively quick - usually 10 minutes or less. Service is friendly, produce is always fresh, the burgers are seasoned well, and I've got a huge weakness for their curly fries. read more

Finally hit up my local burger stop. Staff - eh, not so friendly Burger - no pickles? WTF? I love me some pickles! Anywho, slightly overdone but OK. Beef was not the best but had a great flavor. Comes topped with lettuce, onion, tomato, and mayo. I added ketchup. Fries - they don't salt them so be prepared to season on your own Pie - went for the chocolate cream per the staff recommendation - might be better then Nations. $10 total Will go back again but not my favorite burger in the Bay read more

Want fast food burger but not really fast food quality burgers? Then you come to the right place. Their burgers are made to order. From the time of ordering to pick is about under 10 minutes. Not bad. They have your basic selections of burgers. Some others like Chicken burger, chili dogs, chicken tenders. You can gulp it down with some soda or milkshakes. They have a small counter seating inside and couple picnic-like tables with umbrellas outside. A parking lot for you to park so you don't have to spend money on the meter. read more

Recent Review Again I am amending my review back down to 1 stars. The two women that work Wednesday evenings got mad at me or something. BeCause the last 2 times I ordered a chili cheese burger they failed to put any chili! And they burn the bun. I seriously believe she did this purposefully. I always order extra chili and the last two times she kept it completely bare. No condiments, no chili no anything g but a bun and some meat that looked to be scraped on someone's shoe. This place has gone down. 2nd review I have amended this review from a 2 star to 4 because the owner reached out to me directly with a heart felt apology, and the employee who closed worked almost 2 shifts for someone and he needed to get home because his co worker did not show up for work this morning. That's understandable. The below review is my experience but I have amended the score and impact of my review. 1st review The only reason they are not getting a 1 star is because I like their food and have been coming here for a long time. The time is 7:55 on a Friday evening and there are two employees inside. They decided to refuse my business and closed the window in my face when their business hours as stated on the window are open until 12:30am on Friday. They claim an employee did not show up and therefore they shit down early. They just served two parties and when I came to the window they said they were closed. I am incredibly disappointed since I drove 30 minutes to get their food and they showed no empathy to my concern. Very bad business practice on their part and their ownership should be ashamed. Thanks read more

This place is super old school. Nothing fancy and a pretty easy menu. If you sit inside you can watch them make your food and it is plain and simple. I have no beef (get it?) with the food or the nice folks that work there. The place needs a good cleaning and bit of an update. The chairs at the counter are missing parts, there is like one menu in the entire place unless you order from window outside looking at the menu on the wall. It just needs a little love. But on the brighter side the burgers are very reasonable, like $5 and change and made to order. read more

Went there to buy some curly fries only to be or asked," did u want ranch" ? I responeed "yes" she told me that'll be .75 each. "the first one" i asked, "is not complementary? she said no. Poor customer services. who don't give out free condiments read more

So I went last night. My first time and it was alright. Got there for Cruise Night which happens every first friday of the month in coordination with the art murmer. So on the first Friday of everymonth theres a cool old school mini car show out at the Giant Burger. So that was awesome. I knocked off two stars one because they wouldn't let any of us use the restroom. There was a good size crowd of people there buying food and what not getting the store business. Now, that's a little shady and they wouldn't even let us in to sit or anything. Whatevs Another star knocked off well beacuse they were slow. I ordered 2 cokes and one order of fries and I waited about 35 minutes. Am I being wierd or is that just tooooo long for a walk up burger stand? And they totally weren't even that great I took two bites and tossed them. Next time I am definatley trying a burger and onion rings. read more

Quarter Pound Giant Burger - First Friday Cruise Night - Burgers Near Me - Oakland, California

No, it's not fancy, but the food is reliably good. Because it's right in my neighborhood, I tend to come here a lot. The staff is polite--often, more so than their customers--and they make your order exactly as you want it, which I love. The burgers are always good, and both the fries and the onion rings are excellent. I'm a particular fan of their onion rings. Most importantly, the price is right, not overpriced as are some places. This is a place to which I return again, and again. read more

Absolutely out done! posted hours indicate close at 11pm. Arrived at 10:52 told they were closed. would've been so bad if the person at the window wasn't extremely rude. refusing to give manager info. sayin take a picture of the window "cause she don't know". out done !! let see if management is as ignorant as the person they have representing their establishment. read more

This spot could give In & Out a run for their money! In fact, I might like Quarter Pound Giant a little better. Cheeseburger was ON HIT! Strawberry coke, too. Fries were a little soggy, but I'll forgive them that because the burger was sooo damn good. Not to mention that they're about 4 minutes from my house, they're open hella late, and it's always an interesting experience waiting in their parking lot. But best of all - they don't put weird religious crap on their packaging. Unlike In & Out, the folks at Quarter Pound Giant Burger feel no need to feed God to you with your burger. Amen! read more

Was in the neighborhood for the Oakland Oktoberfest. Was starving and the festival had few vegetarian options. Thought a veggie burger and fries sounded amazing. Pretty cool old school burger kinda place. It just feels sort of vintage American in a cool way. They have a decent little traditional burger spot menu. If you have a veggie burger option that is more than just a "boca" or "gardenburger", I'm excited. They had the other staples as well. The festival was pretty packed so finding a seat was not fun. It seems like they have a few tables outside and a little counter to eat at inside as well. The food was perfect for the occasion, filling and substantial. Can't say it was the best burger and fries I've ever had, but it was solid. Pricing was reasonable as well. It's definitely a place I may go to once in a while if it was in my neighborhood. Kinda wish I had something like this closer to me actually. read more

There comes a time in your life when you need a solid morning-after burger. I honestly don't know if these burgers are a quarter pound but they are the best guilty-pleasure artery-clogging bang for your buck when you really need it... as long as you're not in a hurry. The food is cooked to order, so you're usually waiting around with some other folks and perhaps even a cop or two. They unceremoniously dump fries over my wrapped burger before calling my order ready, allowing the fries' grease to lovingly blot its way through the paper bag and napkin. I like to think of this as an endearing reminder of the damage I'm about to do to my body.. and how, in that same moment, I could care less. A word to non-ketchup folks: Someone previously mentioned the fries not having enough salt and I find this to be a common Oakland burger-joint theme. Maybe it's a trick to get people to use more ketchup? Who knows? All I know is that, as an Oakland resident, I know what's up... and that's why I roll with my own salt and pepper shaker. I think they also have some packets available upon request. read more

Stopped in for a quick snack of fries and a coke. Took way too long for such a simple order.

Giant Burger is my go to spot in the late evening or the wee hours of the morn. The burgers are delicious and always the same. It's not a health food spot by any means, but it offers a lot of typical "burger spot" stuff. I only know about the burgers, fries, soda, shakes and pie and they always hit the spot. The wait time is minimal. If you're unfamiliar with the process, you make your order and pay, then I retreat to my car and wait for someone to wave at me, and walk back up to the window to pick up my order. Easy peezy. They also now accept debit cards, which makes the whole process that much easier. They have recently added picnic tables if you choose to eat there. Don't be concerned for your safety, I've never had a problem no matter what time of the day or night I go. You might encounter the usual Oakland panhandler, but they're friendly and harmless. read more
