I love this place the burgers are grilled and I love that taste. They have a large menu burgers chicken steak salads. They have milkshakes with the real ice cream. Sodas and beer. I got a regular burger my husband got the Monster it comes with everything you can think of. We also got the garlic fries the prices are manageable and really worth it. Even the Classic that I got was large and worth the money. They have seating but we got ours to go I'm glad we did you need to put on relaxed clothes and just have at it, we will be back. read more

My third time going. I'm kinda Leary about exploring the Menu because we have sat down for 'fries' each time, before or after movies and they are always 'overcooked' , and the oil/grease needs to be CHANGED ! Someone burns previous fries or whatever and they just keep it moving !!! They have regular customers and I am very curious but, if you get the burger, you want decent fries. Service, ok. Rarely, a crowd actually sitting inside. NO ambience!! Handicap accessible. Parking nearby read more

Great burger spot in downtown Hayward! This little gem always hits the spot. My go to is the bacon cheeseburger. It's filling and is really tasty. They don't skimp on the bacon which I appreciate. The fries are good but I most recently tried the tater tots and they were freaking delicious! I haven't had tater tots in awhile but these were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. I've tried the smash burger here and it was a good burger but not what I would consider a true "smash burger". They have quite a bit of indoor seating and a decent sized patio for outdoor dining. I've enjoyed eating outside when we've brought our dog with us. They also offer sandwiches and salads. My coworkers have ordered both and they looked good as well. I've been here multiple times and will continue coming here. I highly recommend if you'd like a tasty burger for a decent price. read more

Rockit Char Grill - Burgers Near Me - Hayward, California

So I was nearby, up the street vending for an Ateez K-pop event. I was looking for something good to eat, and I found it! Let me say, these Rock It Fries are fucking amazing, some of the best fries I've ever eaten in my life! The onions, the sauce, bacon, and cheese, work together to bring a melody of flavor explosion in your mouth. Yea it's that good. I greedily ate every last bite, wanting more! The customer service was amazing and it was super quiet and chill on a Saturday afternoon, when I walked in. Thanks to the lovely folks at Rockit Char Grill for making my food and customer experience a great one! Shout out to Uriel H, who graciously helped me out today! The next time I'm in the area, I'll try the burgers to go with my fries! Overall: 20 out of 10!! read more

My bf and I wanted to get lunch together and we were in the mood for some burgers. We always seen this spot but never got a chance to try it out. We were able to find parking in the free parking lot located one the rear side of the building. We were greeted right away and were shown the menu and all food options they had.. decision decisions! My bf always relies on me to pick out his food because he always says I have great taste in food! So I decided to order him the Monster Burger and I ordered myself Beyond Burger(vegan). I absolutely knew my bf would love his burger since that man can eat! I wanted to try something new something I never get so I wanted to try out their vegan burger. With an order of sweet potato fries! My absolute favorite type of fries!! My bf ate all food and was very impressed and very satisfied with my choice of food I picked out for him! I absolutely fell in love with my vegan burger, couldn't believe I could hardly tell it was not a real meat! I felt very light after my burger and didn't feel that heavy feeling on my stomach! Definitely wouldn't mind coming back for round two!! read more

Hidden burger gem in Hayward hubby recently found. Can never gone wrong with a medium rare classic burger the hand full of times we've had them. Flamin' Mo's is also delicious! Garlic fries are really fragrant and flavorful, but sometimes they get soggy quickly being shoestrings. We always place our orders via phone. Service is quick! Clean restaurant with plenty of tables for dining in. Parking sucks! Have yet to dine in as we live relatively close by. read more

Fantastic burgers, and a beer! Try it you won't regret it! Been here many times, service and quality is very consistent!

I was just reminded today why I never eat here after trying it again from some years ago. I ordered the double cheeseburger with onion rings and a vanilla shake. The only decent thing were the onion rings and I'm sure they were the basic bulk bag frozen rings. The burger was horrible! The char grill and over seasoning seemed to try and cover the bad quality meat that I picked up on with the first bite. I asked for an extra thick shake, instead I got a milky shake with lumps of vanilla ice. I expected thick and creamy. All this for $28.75! I could have bought 2 better meals at In and Out for that price! read more

2023 Update As much as we love the place for it's famous pies if you get my drift my husband and I now prefer this place better. It is a whole lot better for their sandwiches and burger. You get a lot of burger for your money at this place and there is plenty of seating here with draft beers on tap and bottled beer. There is even outdoor seating to enjoy your food on a nice day. Prices are extremely reasonable for 2 people if just having burgers with no fries and drink prices are good too. It is also next to the movie theater which makes it a great place to eat after the movie providing you have not over stuffed yourself on popcorn. FYI I should note that prices on popular ordering apps for this place are very decent as well. read more

Date: 8/19/2021 Time: 7:30 PM 64° Cloudy My girlfriends and I are in Downtown Hayward for the 2021 Street Party. The event is on B Street from Foothill to Watkins. We are enjoying the live music and classic cars. Okay, I am getting hungry and there are several eateries in the area to choose from - Wing Stop, Fusion Wok, Atlas Cafe Bar & Creperie, Metro Taquero, Buffalo Bill Brewery, Rockit Char Grill. Which one shall I go to get some food in my stomach? We decide on Rockit Char Grill. I have never been here and I really do not feel like having a burger, but the wait in line to order is not long. Upon perusing the menu, I decide to have the classic single with fries and bottled water. I am glad that we did not go elsewhere. The employee was friendly and helpful. The burger was beyond my expectation. It had all the fixings that I loved. Yum! Bomb-diggity good. This was definitely a solid burger and amazingly, the hamburger buns did not get soggy. I usually will toss a half-eaten burger because it loses its appeal. Not the classic single from Rockit Char Grill. I ate the whole thing. Even the French fries were perfect - not greasy, not overly salty, crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. I know one thing. There will be future visits to Rockit Char Grill. That classic single was so good. So good that one just wanna slap the cook and the mama for preparing one hella of a burger. read more

1, please hire someone who speak English to be receptionist please. The lady didn't speak and understand English well. When I ordered Belly Burger, she said wrong number. Later on I clarify that it is something on the menu, pork belly burger! She asked a lot t of questions but not in English. Pretty frustrated. 2, they made a beef burger for me, when I ordered was a pork burger. Then in a minute they made another one, but no cheese and has a small piece of meat. Taste weird Will not come back again. Sorry read more

Busy Day & I'm assuming it's because it was May Day festivities and of course that's Great for business cause every restaurant on the street stayed busy. Didn't get a friendly greeting assuming it was because the non stop customers coming in & out constantly. They have seating inside & outside of the restaurant, yummy items on the menu & we decided to go with the basics & YUMMMY! you can never go wrong with a good o'l cheeseburger w/crispy bacon & all the fixings. Garlic fries needed salt, not sure if it the oil, a little bit seasoning but, not very garlicy w/flavor & yes some people like it & some people don't, but I guess you can try it for yourself. read more

Right in the heart of downtown, Rockit char grill is sort of a retro type of burger restaurant. The interior, which is minimalist, reminds me a little bit of rubies. They specialize in huge hamburgers and exotic french fry dishes. If you are on a diet, this is probably a good place to avoid. I ordered the Smoky chicken sandwich for about $10. I was surprised at how complete it was with many veggies, cheese, and bacon. They also have a few more selections on top as well as in models. So overall pretty good experience. I'm afraid to count the calories after eating there. read more

Great single party cheeseburger. Veggies were fresh and well balanced, burger bun was tasty and did not fall apart like other places. Kudos

Not worth the shit as I put it If I'm going to spend money and consume fat, grease, calories, ect. I don't mind if it's delicious 40 dollars for 2 burgers 1 fry 1 soda 1 onion rings and one little milkshake The bacon burger tasted like cafeteria food Cheap patty meat and cheap pickles The fries were decent but the milkshakes and onions were bomb Strawberry milkshake was pretty very sweet but good Pretty clean restaurant and bathrooms they still have hand sanitizer everywhere thank god but a little privacy coverage on the windows would be nice as well I'd rather go back to all star burgers in Newark Everything there is on point read more

Rockit Char Grill - Hangover burger - Burgers Near Me - Hayward, California

This was my first trip to rocket char Grill. He looked just like any other burger place. Downtown Hayward is kind of sad right now. That's what I thought I was gonna get. I was wrong. Hangover Burger. Wowser burger did not fall apart bun intact. I asked him to cut it in half. It's not a small burger. It's got all kinds of great stuff in it. The fried egg inside the onion ring is genius lots and lots of juice out of the patty, which was very flavorful Although it cooked medium, not medium rare like I like it, but I let them cook it to where they wanna cook it they know what you're doing. Sauce is fine. Burger was fine. Absolutely amazing each bite just got better. Haven't had any of the other ones but this one was special really good. I strongly recommend it. Fries. Typical shoestring nothing special except that they were absolutely perfect potatoes just like what they were supposed to be. You don't get them any better than that. If you like she strings you don't like shoe strings. They got fries in any way you want them. Dr Pepper. I love Dr Pepper it a burger goes together with the fries. It was perfect. Clean quick and the guy cooking the burgers came over and asked me what did I think and I told him only he was a genius to tell you the truth I can't imagine a life of cooking burgers. Specially with a guy like me that's eating a lot of them most of them not much better than what I would call it to, which is not terrible . I eat another one if I had to that's McDonald's the three is a little better than that for really good and five is that really rare burger which there can't be very many Val's used to be a five but they are no more after I eat all the burgers that they serve at rocket char grill this may go up to a five if you're trying to make up, your mind is to what you wanna eat. There's a good place. Enjoy it. Highly recommended. read more

I've always walked past this spot and never tried it until recently and it did not disappoint! I got a cheeseburger and it was a big burger and very filling.

My wife and I went to a movies down the street. We're walking by and noticed the pictures on their windows of the food that they offer. My wife likes salads and I saw a club sandwich. I had not had one in a while and thought it would be fine. The picture outside showed the club sandwich with french fries we go into the restaurant to order and I ordered the club sandwich like the one in the window. My wife ordered her salad with chicken. I asked what beers they had. They gave me the name of two. I thought that was kind of funny restaurant only had two. So I ordered one after we said now we noticed the sign on the wall that they said to tap, but eight beers and bottles. When the food came out, my wife salad looked fantastic. Loaded with good things dressing on the side just like she wanted no problem and my club sandwich came out just like I had asked with no tomatoes when I asked her, where were the french fries that were in the picture she said oh they're extra and I said I told you I wanted to order the sandwich like the one in the window and she said no problem. I think there was an understanding problem between us and the two people that were serving. I wasn't about to pay another five dollars for french fries. There are plenty of other places to eat on that street. We won't be back to this one. read more

Saw "made the perfect malt" in another review so was excited to try, since not many places make good malts these days (most just add a tbsp of carnation malted powder and never even blend it enough, so it's just gritty malt powder). Unfortunately they no longer have malts. Wish I could leave an ungraded review since I didn't try their food, so I'm just going to leave the same rating they currently have. It might be wonderful read more

Best burger place in Hayward!!! We ordered a chicken sandwich, a cheeseburger with bacon and garlic fries. The burger was cooked to perfection, it was amazing. The chicken sandwich was loaded with fresh avocado, lettuce, tomatoes, fresh onion and juicy grilled chicken. The garlic fries were amazing, 100x better than the ones you get at the garlic festival. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. The establishment was very clean and I noticed they take extra precautions to help prevent the spread of covid. All the employees were wearing a mask and gloves and the restaurant was very clean. During the time we were there they came outside to sanitize the tables and the outdoor area in general. I feel very safe eating there and really enjoyed our lunch at Rockit Char Grill. I can't wait to go back with friends and share a delicious meal. read more

Rockit Char Grill - Flamin Mo's burger and garlic fries - Burgers Near Me - Hayward, California

Tried Rockit char grill last night while my partner and I were out running errands pics looked good from the reviews so we rolled the dice and gave this place a shot. First off, let me warn you that this place is kind of expensive (I guess everything is nowadays), so I was shocked when ordering we were charged $1 for grilled onions. Grilled onions!!! Second our total was almost $40 for two burgers, onion rings, garlic fries, and two sodas! Whatever, I am imagining this place must serve high quality burgers and with good ingredients. I get there and the cashier was very nice, place was clean, take out bag was heavy ( I am imagining we got a lot of food) and the food smelled delicious in the car. I was beginning to come around on paying $40 for 2 burger combos. But the excitement and anticipation would end there. Yes the portions and burgers were huge. But they burgers lacked flavor, the patty and burger were dry, fries tasted old. The onion rings were good though. TLDR; I will give this place another shot, maybe they were having an off night. Still can't believe dinner was almost $40. Oh, how the times have changed. read more

I added avocado to my BLT and it was perfect. The bacon was good quality, plentiful and cooked perfectly. It was perfect. read more
