    Came here on a Friday night to grab a quick bite. The burger shop is located in a parking lot of Fremont Flowers. When we got there, [[HIGHLIGHT]]I love the wooden benches and string lights!![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Menu is straightforward and prices are fair. Hubby got a burger and I got the smash fries to pick at. Both were really yummy and flavorful! Definitely a good place to grab a quick bite if you're in the area.

    The Burger Shop continues to be my favorite burger place. They are always consistently cripsy and juicy. They are also an excellent value at $11 for a double and $3 for fries. I always upgrade to grilled onions for a $1. I bought my bf today and he said it was the best burger he has ever had in the Bay Area, makes the top 3 of his overall burger rankings. They are still my number 1 for burgers in the entire world. I never had cravings for a burger before The Burger Shop came into existence. I discovered them through a Yelp Elite event and they are the business I have been back to the most.

    Great spot for a quick bite. Burger was served on a soft bun. You can opt for fries to make it a satisfying meal. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have tables set up so you can enjoy your food on-site, with fire pits nearby to keep you warm.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Come by to support this small local business!

    After reviewing @GrubWitMike review, I stopped since I was in the area. It was a little hard to find since I wasn't expecting the little trailer. This little burger trailer delivered a solid burger. Tasty, decently sized, and fresh! Fries were nicely seasoned but wish more came with the order. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There are a few tables to sit on but had ants on them so beware.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Located in what is supposed to be the downtown area of Union City but it seems like the city is struggling to keep its tenants. Parking is plentiful as it's a pretty dead area. The burger were great and had a very distinctive west Asian sauce to it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Seating is very limited but there's a park Next door.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It's located behind a tailoring shop so it's a bit hidden and hard to find.

    Juicy juicy juicy Smashburger. If you're looking for a really crispy well-defined Smashburger, then look no further! The special sauce has a nice tang to it and the burger itself is very well flavored. My go to spot for smash burgers! This spot moved from Fremont to now Union City for anyone wondering. Theres no ranch, so bring your own if you are the saucey type.

    So juicy!

    These smash burgers are so good and packed with flavor. We inhaled our burgers in 5 minutes! You also gotta eat it quick and right off the grill before the juiciness drips all over your hands. They are now located behind the small post office in Union City, by the Farmer's Market park. Plenty of street parking. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have one table bench, aside from that there is not really a place to eat. At night, they just have spotlights. May be best for take out.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Check their Instagram for hours. I was first introduced to The Burger Shop via a Yelp event when they were still on Alder in Fremont. I was so impressed by their burgers, I followed them to their new location. Why are other reviews comparing this to In-N-Out? This isn't a fast food chain. Support local small businessses!

    Double smashburger

    Came here on a Friday night and there were about 2 parties ahead of us. There were no fries available so we just got double smashburgers. The wait time was about 30 minutes for 4 burgers which seemed like a long time considering there were only 2 parties ahead of us. The orders were also mixed up as I asked for no pickles and ended up getting pickles on mine. For the burgers, I would give them a 4/5. The sauce was pretty good and the patties were cooked well. The size of the burgers was also bigger than I was expecting and they did match the $11 price point. However, I would give the service a 3/5 due to the slowness of getting our food as well as the mix up of orders and ingredients.

    It's their last day at this location (Alder) and I'm so glad that I was able to try it just to appreciate their food truck. They will be moving to Washington area so good to know that they will still be around. As always, the smash burger is a great smash very flavorful... The burger was more filling than it looked. I got the single burger bun and I was pretty full and my boyfriend got the double with beef bacon. The Cajun fries was pretty good and pretty reasonable at three dollars however, I understand that the Cajun flavor is not for everyone so watch out for that. It would've been better if they had an option for garlic fries. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Eating the burger is a messy experience so it's cool that this is an outdoor location.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]They also had a foot pump faucet to clean your hands before and after eating. 10/10![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Love The Burger Shop! We have been here multiple times since moving to the East Bay and it is so so good every time. The menu is simple - smashburgers (single, double or triple) and fries, with a few available add ons like grilled onions and bacon. I always get the single and fries plus a side of sauce. The burger is always juicy with crispy edges, and the flavor is great especially paired with their special sauce. Everything always comes out fresh and hot. The fries are always perfectly crisp and the Cajun seasoning they sprinkle on top provides a nice little kick (though it may be a little spicy for those that have a low heat tolerance. 1/5 is their last day at the current location and then they will be relocating to another location in Fremont!!

    Came here to try some smash burgers with my partner and honestly it was so amazing!!! The burgers are so juicy, and the buns were toasted just right!! Definitely recommend getting Cajun fries !!!!! Service was spectacular. I would definitely come back here again.

    Food 3/5 - the beef patty was still pretty thick for being a smash burger and the fries were cold Service 1/5 - for being the only person there it took 20 mins to receive my order. I ordered 2 fries, a single smash & double smash. When I asked the guy that took my offer "what the secret sauce base was?" He said he didn't know and neither do the cooks. After 15 mins of waiting I decided to ask if my order was ready and got a response of "yes, but we're waiting for one more fry. The fryer shut off and we are waiting for the oil to heat up, it will be another 4 mins." 4 mins pass and I go ask if it's ready and the guy said "sorry do you just want a refund? It'll be some time." So I decided to get a refund and take my food given that the guy ensured my food was under a heat lamp staying warm... which was a lie because the fries were cold and the burgers were luke warm. Overall not the best experience. Willing to give this spot another try

    First time trying out the burger shop. We ordered through DoorDash for pickup (since they don't take phone orders) and we got the order fairly quick. Pretty good burger with the sauce! Very juicy and flavorful. They cook their meat halal smashburger style. The edges are nice and crispy with a meaty center. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It looked like majority of it is outdoor seating, so we didn't want to eat in the cold.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Better to take to go if you're looking for a quick dinner at night![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Our door dash order from Chili's got canceled so we went to All Star Burger for chicken sandwiches…read more We have had the burgers and breakfast here before but never tried the chicken sandwiches. We ordered the Crispy Chicken Sandwiches with everything and added American Cheese. They were by far the best chicken sandwiches we have ever had. The chicken was fresh and hand breaded then deep fried to perfection with out being dry or greasy. The lettuce, tomato, and onion were fresh and sliced thick. When they were wrapping the sandwiches to bag it looked like a perfect picture of a chicken sandwich that other restaurants have to fake. The milkshake's are also made fresh with some of the best ice cream. The service was great and food was cooked with love by the family.

You know it's the spot for the locals upon walking in during lunch time - packed with older generations folks. The workers seems busy prepping food and service was okay. I got the cheeseburger, philly cheese steak with fries, and the all star burger, along with a side of onion rings. Total came out above $40. The food was solid and delicious. I did enjoy the onion rings, super crispy! The philly cheese steak left much to be desired, not a lot of meat. The burgers were solid - lots of food for one sitting. I wonder if they use homemade or frozen patties. I appreciate how they had all star sauce (kind of tastes like thousand island) and how they had a nice condiments section to pack your own Togo sauces. They even had jalapenos! Overall a solid spot for a classic grilled burger.

I love how Habit is being consistent in terms of food and service while they changed the atmosphere. In my opinion, it's better than how it usually was, which seems to be more old fashioned. It's like we're getting closer to the shore or something. They also replaced the soda fountain machine, which is better than the one they usually have. Just like many restaurants, maybe we're just evolving and adapting to new technologies.

    Juicy, freshly fried wings -- but four pieces would be the sweet spot…read more I spent way too long deciding between the chicken sandwich and the wings, and eventually ordered the six-piece crispy wings with an extra tangy garlic sauce. The wings were larger than I expected. They had a craggy, heavily textured coating that was very crispy when fresh. The breading was on the thicker side, but the chicken underneath was genuinely juicy. When I pulled one apart, the juices actually ran onto the toast underneath. They were also extremely hot right out of the fryer, so give them a couple of minutes before biting in. The wings themselves were not spicy. They had a fairly straightforward savory seasoning and were flavorful enough to eat without sauce, which is important because this was not a case of sauce rescuing dry or bland chicken. The yellow tangy garlic sauce, however, was much hotter than I expected. At first I thought the heat was coming from the wings, but it was definitely the sauce. It had a strong combination of acidity, garlic, and spice, and a little went a long way. The white sauce was milder and easier to use throughout the meal. The wings came with one slice of toast cut in half. It seemed like an odd pairing at first, but it made sense once the chicken juices started dripping onto it. The toast absorbed the juices and also helped balance the richness and heat. The six-piece order was $13.99. That is not especially cheap, but the wings were large, freshly fried, and very juicy, so the portion felt fair. My only issue is that fried chicken this rich becomes repetitive after a while. The first two pieces were excellent, the third and fourth were satisfying, and by the fifth I was starting to feel the grease and heavy coating. Overall, Chicken G's does the fundamentals well: crispy exterior, juicy chicken, and wings that taste good even without sauce. I would come back, but four wings would probably be the ideal portion for me next time.

    I love Chicken G's. This is one of my favorite fried chicken places to go. They make it fresh!…read more I've had to wait about 20 min sometimes because it it is busy. During the rush hour it is just more of a wait sometimes. I belive they are a little understaffed sometimes. Only 2 people working that I have seen. Their friend chicken is just soooo good. Just order ahead of time before you come because if you order at the restaurant you will have to wait because they cook it fresh. I love their fried chicken and will for sure be coming back for more! So happy I found this place. It is really hard to not love a good fried chicken!

I've been coming to Nation's in Fremont since I was a kid, so this review comes from someone who has always enjoyed eating here.

The chili cheese fries also seemed like a much smaller portion than they used to be. For dessert, I ordered cheesecake, but the soggy strawberries on top took away from it. Even though this wasn't one of my better visits, I still appreciate the rewards program. Their points app is easy to use, and I was able to redeem a free birthday slice of pie, which was a nice perk. The vibe was nice and the service was nice also . I'm hoping this was just an off day, because Nation's has been a favorite of mine for many years. I know how good the food can be, and I look forward to seeing the portions and quality return to what I expect.

Now only wished getting wings didn't take almost 30 minutes. We came by on a weekend and a late lunch. No one was inside. The parking lot was empty. We did notice things were upgraded since the last time we came. Signs now digital. Interior fixed up a little and reupholstered seats. They now have a giant screen kiosk to order. But note that if you want to-go, you have to enter one of the To-Go menu items. I didn't notice until we got our receipt and I had to ask them to make sure it was packed to go. I wish there was a Dine-In/To-Go option when you're about to check out. Maybe there was and I just didn't notice it. There were two folks inside. Both quite nice and made sure we were comfortable. What I didn't expect was the long wait for the wings. We had ordered 10 wings and a fried chicken sandwich. The chicken sandwich and fries were done and they updated us that the wings were taking longer than expected. We didn't get our order until 25-30 minutes after we placed it. When we did try our fried chicken sandwich it was great! We'd definitely get it again. The fries still not great. I wish either, they left the boxes open to make sure it didn't get soggy or over fry them so they're crisp. The wings were great. We had the lemon pepper again and it was juicy and cooked well. Again we'd come back here for the wings in a heartbeat. Now what we've learned is that we absolutely need to order in advance otherwise the wait is pretty atrocious. But at least we know it's made to order right? Will be back again for sure. Just will make sure to order in advance next time.
