    Two doubles with grilled onions.
    Jessica S.

    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.

    Double Smash with grilled onions and bacon!

    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. There are a few tables to sit on but had ants on them so beware.

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

    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. Seating is very limited but there's a park Next door. 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. 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. 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. Eating the burger is a messy experience so it's cool that this is an outdoor location. They also had a foot pump faucet to clean your hands before and after eating. 10/10!

    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. It looked like majority of it is outdoor seating, so we didn't want to eat in the cold. Better to take to go if you're looking for a quick dinner at night!

    Single cheeseburger with grilled onions
    Diana T.

    Saw a lot of hype for this place on social media and decided to try it on a Saturday night, it wasn't too busy. Ambiance: It's a nice outdoor area with picnic benches, it does get cold at night so wear a jacket. It's located next to a flower shop, the burger truck is located right in the corner. Service: The guy taking the order was friendly Single cheeseburger $9 (3.8/5): Ordered it with grilled onions ($1) and the burger was good. It's a little soft in texture but I do taste the crispy edges from a smashed patty. The portions were smaller than I expected and felt light. If you're hungry and typically eat a single cheeseburger, I recommend going for a double cheeseburger ($11). The value of what you're getting from the burger is what prevents it from getting a higher rating. It's a good burger but not an amazing burger Fries (4/5): They come in a cup and they are well seasoned with some spice. Pretty tasty and had a good crisp Overall, I wouldn't come back here just to eat unless maybe conveniently in the area.

    See all

    Had the 3x3 with bacon last night and it was easily the best smash burger I've ever had in my life.
