This place might be my new go-to for burgers. I am soooooo siiiiiick of smash burgers, enough with the smash burgers, if I'm force fed another smash burger because it's "hip" or "cool" or has a tasty little crust I WILL explode! I will change the trajectory of any unfortunate onlooker's life! Anyway, I had the B-B-B which was very good. Deliciously savory with an extra kick from the bleu cheese, a luscious patty you could really bite into (UNLIKE A SMASH BURGER) and some really tasty sauces on the side. I kinda like my burgers drenched in bbq sauce and the kind that came with was a perfect smoky, rich, not too sweet sauce. The sweet potato fries felt kinda sinful ngl. Usually sweet potato fries are the "healthy" option but also usually they're shoestring and nicely sweet but just ok. These were kinda decadent. Steak cut and what I can only describe as a crack laced crumble coating. An order of these make a perfect dessert. The slaw was fine, nothing to write home about. They have vanilla creme soda :) The perfect accompaniment for a burger imo. My new go-to for burger delivery whenever I'm in the mood for it. I'm assuming if you go in person you can customize the patty but even i'f you can't, they're medium is pretty decent and still quite tender. Excited for my next order! read more

3.5 to 4 stars $26.41+tip. The London Bus, a good and sizeable bacon cheese double burger. Side salad was fine, good vinaigrette dressing. Price was ...reasonable. Could eat again if this was my neighborhood joint. Definitely feels like a restaurant aimed at the local white collar businesses. read more

The Bureau 510 - The London Bus with salad side. - Burgers Near Me - Emeryville, California

Why 5 stars? 1. convenient if you're at Oakland Harbor or Stanford Med/Emeryvill location 2. Easy on/off Highway 80 3. Easy to find and street paid parking available 4. Priced right and great menu 5. BEST Hot Toddy EVER!!!!! Here is my story: So I'm heading back to SFO from Napa after a work (believe it or not) trip. Driving down the 80 we decide to stop on the Oakland side mainly because of timing. Of our choices, we pick The Bureau 510 and I will admit and boast it was a great choice and a great find. We had Chicken Katsu Curry, Kalbi (both on their specials of the day menu) and our other party ordered a burger which look absolutely great too! Why the hot toddy? BECAUSE it was raining and windy and that cold penetrated to the bone!!! Thank you cold weather! If not for that I may not have selected a hot toddy. Service great! Establishment clean, comfortable every "Local" like you ask "Where do all the locals go?" They go to The Bureau 510. Go there! Eat There or BE SQUARE read more

I came here a while back because the ambiance was extremely nice, plus in the back there's a beautiful walkway where you can follow into a bike trail. Finally got to try this place and have to say, either the food market is hurting in this economy, or this place has no idea how to work with customer service. I ordered a hamburger and requested for several things to be taken off the plate, instead of offering alternative items I was given the saddest looking plate with a single hamburger...for the same price.....definitely will never be coming back here. Even my partner who came with me was astonished at how bad the service was. Note: if someone orders a dish and doesn't want the extra add ons either offer something alternatively without extra charge, or charge them for a single burger.... read more

What a great little find. We stopped by here as our 1st choice was bedeviled by significant parking issues and man did it work out. We were off hour so we were seated immediately. Service was on point and friendly. The Food: London Bus: It was a quintessential burger. The meat was tasty and the bacon played perfectly against everything else. The star was the malted fries. They added a salty, acidic crunch that helped offset the richness of the burger. The slaw was nice. Just the right amount of crunch and not over dressed Onion Rings: perfectly battered with the right onion to batter ratio. I could have wolfed down a whole plate of them. I did not try the tacos but my wife really liked them. Nice selection of drafts and food make this place a no brainer read more

Fun restaurant to come with friends! The service was super friendly and quick that we got our food in a matter of minutes. The food itself was super yummy. They have a variety of burgers and sandwiches that I had such a hard time choosing. I ended up going with the BBB and adding parmesan fries (best decision). Lots of exciting drinks to choose from but my group just stayed with the classics margaritas and tequila shots. Come out and try this place for the food and fun! We will be back soon! read more

This is a nice place to enjoy a brew, decent food, awesome onion rings, understaffed hard working servers that maintain a great spirit. Located in the heart of the modern biotech office canyons that now define formerly industrial Emeryville is The Bureau 510, a quietly lit, cozy yet spacious brewpub on Hollis Street, just on the north side of the Powell Street intersection across the street from the Chevron station. We've been here a few times to catch up with friends. Winners on the menu that we've tried include any of the burgers, the totally excellent beer battered onion rings, and fish tacos. This time I tried the blue cheese salmon salad from their "specials" menu, which was just ok. While the small slab of salmon was prepared moist and perfect, the blue cheese and everything else was significantly overpowered by the honey mustard dressing. Veggies and all other salad ingredients were fresh and on point. For dessert, we tried the hazelnut tartufo, which would have been amazing if this gelato dessert wasn't 1/4 of the way melted due to the warm plate that it was served on. :( Instead, my friend's vanilla gelato would have been a much wiser choice as it was served in a chilled glass with probably twice the amount of gelato! Just order that or something else and split it between ya! Still, this is a nice place to hang out and chill after a long day with a good brew and a burger! read more

Went for early lunch while waiting for Dr appointment Husband had Good Morning burger. Excellent! I had London Bus. That was a lot of burger so I took half home. Also great! Good service. Nice atmosphere read more

The food is okay! I got a ChikN Bureau but this was a bit disappointing. It didn't have too much flavor. There was not a lot of aioli or I couldn't taste any. The chicken was dry and not very flavorful. It had a lot of spinach which I liked but because all the flavors felt bland (even the bread which is Acme bread), this whole meal felt dry and very flat. The restaurant is clean and nice. Service is nice and attentive. read more

This was my 2nd visit and the place is nice, clean, has a lot TV's to watch Bay Area Sports. They have a full bar and beers both on tap and bottles. Lots of wine and sparkling drinks swell. Their food menu has many options to choose. From American favorites to Asian inspired, at reasonable prices and large portions. They use to have karaoke on Fridays but I'm guessing not enough customers so they stopped. Bottomline, the place serves great food and drinks along with local sports and great service. We'll be back! The food portion was more than enough. read more

Great spot to get some work done; is usually very quiet (which is unfortunate as I would like to see them attract more business and make it as a local bar/rest. Sometimes I wonder if they're going to survive). Service is friendly. Their fries are really good. I could eat 5 of those baskets. Prices are reasonable. read more

Pleasantly surprised by this place! Fish tacos were real good! Onion rings & salad as well. Wasn't going to try because of the low ratings. We will come back for sure! Mussels & drinks were the 5 stars of this lunch. Solid 4 stars for everything else! Friendly staff & clean lovely atmosphere! read more

Cute sandwiches spot, but pricy! I order the impossible burger, which comes with coleslaw and pickles on the side, and dressed with sliced avocados and a tangy sauce. The impossible meat was good--tasted exactly like Burger King's impossible burger, but they serve shoe-string Parmesan fries, which are my least favorite. The bread was nicely toasted and slightly enhanced the burger. Back to the fries, they were a bit too oily, and some were just hard/overcooked. Other than that, everything else about the meal was good. The coconut shrimp was like $13 for 4 pieces of shrimp. HIGH! I order the hibiscus mimosa, which had the right amount of champagne (A LOT)! read more

Disgusting food and really, really really bad customer service. My boyfriend came inside the restaurant to make a order to go and as he's literally giving his order to the waiter the waiter rudely cuts him off as new customers walk inside and greets them and acts like my boyfriend isn't even there instead of telling the new customers who are walking in I'll be with you guys in just a minute . He also had a really bad attitude as my boyfriend finished placing the order like he was super stressed out and he was like it's so crazy today. I ordered the number 27 burger. It was probably one of the worst burgers I've ever had in my entire life. I don't even think they used a pinch of salt on the meat. . Whatever sauce that comes with it was a super liquidy watery sauce that makes the bread instantly soggy and super wet. The nastiest sloppy burger ever couldn't even take more than two bites even after adding my own seasoning at home disgusting. My boyfriend ordered the BLT, which was very. No idea why this place has four stars total waste of $40. Please don't spend your money here. This place is a joke. read more

stopped by for early dinner with my friend and was pleasantly surprised by how yummy the menu was! i was craving soup so i ordered aztec pozole [vega, homemade spicy soup - hominy corn, tomato, garlic, onion, cilantro, chipotle] ($6.95) which was perfect for the cooler weather and loved how there was an indoor and outdoor seating option available. at one point during the dinner, a random stranger was trying to bother us - and i really appreciate the wait staff ensuring that we are all okay and offering for us to move inside as we were sitting outside. so 10/10 would recommend as the vibes and food itself were delicious! tips: - street parking available - amazing extensive menu - indoor and outdoor seating available read more

4 stars because the food was good. It came out hot and fresh. We ordered the Caesar salad, BBB burger with onions rings, and fries. We originally ordered the curly fries but somehow got the regular fries. But it was still really good. We also originally wanted the recommended salad, it was a pork salad, but they no longer had it.. that was disappointing. The Ceasar salad, for almost $10, i would have expected a more "fresh" dressing. It was any regular salad, i wish it came with a lemon wedge, and wish the dressing had more of an anchovy twang to it. It was not bad, but i wouldn't order it again there. The burger was good, but the party could have used a bit more seasoning , and the bread could have been toasted. It felt like the bread was going to crumble bc it was a stale bread and toasting with some butter would have been a great help. Onion rings and fries: honestly some of the best I've had. Not one to order onion rings, but these ipa battered onion rings did it for me! It was crispy and light but had a bite. Delicious. Same with the fries, it was hot, crispy, fluffy and not a shoestring but not a wedge so it was plenty potatoyyyy. We went for happy hour, but none of the food on happy hour, just drinks. We wanted to have a second drink but he didn't come around to do a last call. This comes to the review of the service. They barely checked on us. We had to look around and make eye contact to get a fill on water. It was not busy at all.. everyone there was there before us. I'd say the kitchen was busy making take out but the servers could use a bit more attentiveness to the customers in the actual dining room. They cleaned out table but they didn't give us our bill. After about 15 mins, i got up and asked for the tab.. the place has a lot of potential. It's super cute and spacious inside. It could get busy there because of the location. Parking is a bit tough, we got lucky, but it would be a nice place to have happy hour with coworkers. I wish they could expand their happy hour menu to have small bites. read more

This spot is exactly one mile from our house. It's a go to in our walking plans. We always feel comfortable and the food and hospitality is excellent. Tonight I had the BBB burger amazing blue cheese and bacon with sweet potatoes fries so tender yet crunchy. My husband had the Yakinaku sandwich his favorite with kim chee. The Bah Mi is one of the best and the onion rings and Parmesan fries are addicting. My mother's husband who eats nothing but brown food loves their fish and chips and happily joins in. Hard cider is a favorite and draft beers are excellent too. Such gracious staff and great casual vibe. We come in shorts on a hot afternoon or step it up for date night and fit right in. No matter what you order you are always warmly treated. It's no wonder we come here often. It's about time we said so! read more

I'm shockety SHOCKED, yo! Whyyyy aren't there more people in here? Oh yeah that's right... 'cause the COVID is still creepin' on the low low. Well, that's alright because I fully enjoyed having the ENTIRE indoor dining area all to my damn self during happy hour. You guuuuuuys!!! This place ROCKS. My first indoor happy hour since the start of COVID, and they blew that sh*t out of the water. Not to mention, this was a total impromptu affair, and I was still quite blown. I bet this place was poppin' back in the pre-corona days! Had some business in the area, and drove passed this spot on my way into Emeryville. I've driven down this street numerous times, but never noticed it until recently. The Bureau is located on the corner of Hollis and Powell, right next to the Stanford Healthcare center. Saw a few sandwich boards in front of the entrance and decided to investigate. H-A-P-P-Y H-O-U-R!!! Yup. You ain't gotta tell me twice. I walked into an empty restaurant and noticed that there was absolutely nobody inside. A sweet lady greeted me and asked me if I wanted to sit inside or outside. I've been doing mainly outdoor dining, but it was chilly outside and I couldn't resist having the entire place to myself. So, I did it. Sat inside and started off my happy hour just like that. The interior was so open, spacious, and clean. Kind of rustic meets urban on the decor. The music was hittin', the vibe was right, the lighting was beautiful. All of the little things that Shay really digs in a bar/restaurant. Instant comfort at your service. After perusing the menu, I decided to start with a happy hour pineapple mojito. Not only were the aesthetics pleasing, but this drank was so yummy! Not too sweet and ultimately refreshing. Plus at $7, this was an absolute steal during HH. They've got an excellent happy hour drink selection ranging from $5-$7 that features discounted beer, wine, and cocktails. No happy hour food menu at the moment, but their regular food menu is priced extremely well for what they offer. Plus their happy hour is from 4:30-6:30 for the later birds like myself! It's honestly such a good deal. Lots of outdoor tables too for the people who don't want to dine in. In fact, it seemed to be poppin' outside with everyone sitting outdoor (even in the wind). Decided to order the "Bayou" sandwich which is their wild caught cod on an Acme bread roll, and made it a combo by adding their IPA onion rings. Y'all... this meal was fan-FRIGGIN'-tastic, mmkay? Added cheddar to the fish sammich because I need that cheese in my life. The cod was practically melting in my mouth. The Acme bread was nice and fresh. Great flavors all around on that sammich. The onion rings were so perfect. Crispy beer battered goodness right before my little eyes. Didn't quite care for the spicy mayo dip that initially accompanied it, but I asked for a side of ranch and it hit the spot. Oh yeah, and don't skip that coleslaw. Sh*t was so good that I ended up putting some of it on my fish sammich. I'm kinda picky with my coleslaw, but this one was IT. So yummy! Ordered a happy hour lemon drop to close out my evening, and it did not disappoint! Beautiful taste and presentation. Let me hone in on that service for a sec. EXCELLENT through and through. The people working here are so damn friendly! And they work really hard too. LOVE to see it! Everyone that I encountered had smiling eyes and I loved it. Speaking of; all staff members were masked up the proper way and complying with the COVID protocols. I felt super safe and comfortable. I noticed that they do a lot of take-out here... like A LOT! Even though people weren't sitting inside, I'm happy that they are thriving from their to-go and outdoor dining service. So glad that I discovered this cute little place! Will def be returning back for more delicious food and drink very soon. read more

This is a review of their items for carry out only! We ordered : Chicken and Kale Soup - tasted like chicken and rice soup with a little bit of Kale! I ate my whole serving and have no complaints. Grilled Cheese Sandwich - listen, I don't even like tomatoes but this was the best grilled cheese I have ever had! No lie. The bacon, cheese, and the GARLIC MAYO!!! Bomb Asian Chicken Salad - Decent Salad, but I would try another one next time. The chicken didn't really taste like anything. I did like the dressing that it came with! Coconut Shrimp - This was the winner for me! Interesting enough the homemade ranch on the side was delicious! You must try it out! Overall I would recommend this place for carryout for sure! Looking at the other Yelp reviews ... I would def not mind trying out more items! read more

Just a hop-skip away from IKEA and Emeryville shopping, so definitely worth trying if you are in the area. Highly recommend! read more

Revisited this place during COVID and I'm surprised this place gets an overall 3.5 stars because I think this place never misses a beat! I hope they stick around for the long-run. Staff wear masks and you have the option of indoor seating or outdoor, or takeout. They do have heat lamps as well. It's never too crowded and the staff are always friendly and attentive! They have the best onion rings and tots! They got the batter to the T and it's not at all greasy. On their current menu, they have some specials like chicken katsu curry and galbi rice plate. You honestly can't go wrong with anything on this menu. The ACME bread is everything and the sandwiches are stacked! I'm not the biggest coleslaw fan, but for whatever reason, I'll finish a bowl of theirs! Honestly, doing yourself a disservice if you're passing up on this place. read more

4pm on a Sunday and we were the only people here. Smaller than I expected and appears to be more of a bar than a restaurant. Service was attentive, our food arrived pretty the quickly. We asked for both of our Burgers to be medium and were actually well done and the Fries were a little lackluster but overall pretty good. I did like the sauce used in the Burgers in addition to the Acme Bun option and the small side of Slaw was a nice touch. Not sure I would specifically make the drive to come again but if I'm in the area i'll consider it a solid food option. TIP: Happy Hour daily from 4:30pm read more

As much as I was hoping to find a good local burger shop in Emeryville, this won't be it for me. My partner and I ordered Beyond Burgers with different toppings; his runny egg was terribly undercooked (it was snotty), my patty was undercooked, and their onions weren't properly prepared before cooking so the stringy skin was peeling everywhere. We also ordered onion rings and they tasted entirely of fish -- and when we pointed that out, we were informed that everything is fried in the same fish-fry oil. I'm disappointed to say the least and won't be back. read more

The Bureau deserves so much more love. It's open every day - at all the odd hours I get hungry during and when no other place is open. I consistently dream about their belgian waffle. You might think their burgers are their must get, but you're wrong. The waffle is so amazing I could come here for the rest of my life even if they got rid of everything else on their menu. My boss takes us here quite often since there's a lot of seating, and it's always pretty mellow. The menu is very friendly for vegetarians and vegans as well. Things we've loved: -Burgers (duh!) -Fish tacos -Tater tots with bacon -Parmesan fries -Aztec pozole soup (it's very filling and comforting - plus vegetarian!) -Kale soup (got this when I was sick and it hit the spot) -Root beer (I try every place with root beer on the menu, and the brand they stock is pretty good) -BELGIAN WAFFLE: A fresh waffle hot off the iron filled with crunchy pearl sugar, topped with gelato made from real vanilla bean, garnished with mint and berries I've never seen in my life. It beats dessert places that literally specialize in belgian waffles, and I've tried more places than I can count. The bureau is always welcoming. You can tell the chef and owner care about bringing together interesting ingredients. Because of that, I've gotten to taste dishes and ingredients here for the first time. One rainy day, I came in by myself with a craving for ice cream to get myself through the worst cold. The waitress took my order, and I just sat there taking my time to enjoy every bite of soup and waffle. She never rushed me or judged me for eating a whole dessert meant for two in the middle of the day, and I felt genuinely happy and lucky there was a place like this in Emeryville. read more
