Not used to having bell peppers in my Mongolian Beef, but it was still good. A bit salty for me for this dish and I wish the spiciness was turned up a notch. Broccoli Beef: This one was also salty for my liking. The texture of the beef was good though and I enjoyed the amount of broccoli I did get in my plate. Sesame Chicken: The best of the trio I got. Was perfectly fried and sauced, not being too salty or bland. I can see why this one can be a popular item choice with how fresh and crispy it tasted. My number one choice here. Overall, it was alright. For the amount I paid, I can get two servings out of it, so a nice lunch and dinner for me. I probably would come back again.

I stumbled upon Uncle Jay Burger House while browsing Yelp, and let me tell you, it was a delightful find! Having lived in Concord for the past 10 years, I was pleasantly surprised to discover this new burger joint nestled in Todos Santos. Learning that Uncle Jay Burger House replaced the hot dog place piqued my curiosity even more.Upon reading the rave reviews and drooling over the mouthwatering pictures, I knew I had to give it a try. My first order consisted of the California burger and garlic fries, and oh boy, was I in for a treat!The Asian woman who took my order was incredibly sweet, and the entire ordering process went smoothly. When I received my order at the pick-up window, I was immediately captivated by the aroma of the garlic fries. They were crispy, fresh, and packed with garlicky goodness--a true delight for the senses.As for the burger, it was a masterpiece. The meat was juicy, the toppings were fresh, and every bite was bursting with flavor. Uncle Jay Burger House truly knows how to elevate a classic burger to new heights. Overall, Uncle Jay Burger House is a fantastic addition to Concord. With its delicious food, friendly service, and inviting atmosphere, it's sure to become a favorite spot for burger enthusiasts like myself. I can't wait to return and try more of their mouthwatering offerings. Highly recommended! read more

**Rating: 2.5 Stars** With all due respect, the hotdogs here are mediocre, especially considering the prime location in downtown Concord, Total, at the Plaza corner. The area is beautiful, surrounded by glass, and the staff provides excellent customer service. The ladies working in the kitchen are amazing, and I genuinely appreciate their efforts. However, I miss the quality from the previous spot. The hotdog I purchased today for $8 was disappointing. I could have gotten a better one at a Chevron ExtraMile for a fraction of the cost. The hotdog was cold, the sausage slightly hard, and the toppings were minimal. For such a great location, I expected more. Before investing in technology like self-ordering machines, I think the focus should be on the quality of the food. Maybe consider offering organic ketchup and better-quality mayo while keeping the profit margin reasonable. I'll give the place another try in 30 days, but until then, I'll be getting my next hotdog elsewhere. read more

Uncle Jay Burger House in Concord, California is a great place to grab a delicious burger. The burgers are well-seasoned and cooked to perfection, making every bite a burst of flavor. The juicy and tasty patty is complemented by a soft bun and all the right toppings, making it a burger that is hard to resist. I had the Katsu burger and it was delicious, my favorite so far. I also had the fire burger which had a good kick to it. It was delicious too but I enjoyed Katsu more because it was less messy :) Whether you are a meat lover or just looking for a satisfying meal, Uncle Jay Burger House is definitely worth checking out. read more

Came down last week from Reno to visit some friends in the Bay Area made a stop here to grab some food after the drive and was blown away at the pricing and quality I ordered the fire burger and fries and both were delicious. Not only was it a fantastic burger it was very filling and came at a great price. Uncle Jays will be my new stop any time I head to the Bay Area. On top of the excellent quality and pricing the staff is extremely friendly, service is fast, and the restaurant is as clean as it comes. Be sure to stop by if you are in the area you will not be disappointed. read more

A Delicious Burger with a Perfect Cook I was on the hunt for a really good burger, and this one definitely hit the spot! The burger was flavorful, juicy, and cooked perfectly to my liking. I really enjoyed the overall taste and texture--it was satisfying without being overly heavy. My only suggestion would be to add a little more in the way of fresh vegetables. I think some extra lettuce, tomato, or other veggies would give it a nice freshness and balance. Overall, though, I really enjoyed the burger and would definitely consider ordering it again. read more

I use to eat here in 2002-2007 and the food was always fresh and good. So today when I passed by I wanted to give it a try because I seen people saying it's still good. Well I'm disappointed!

The burgers are not huge but more than filling. If you did a double patty that would be it. The buns and toppings really what make these burgers stand out. I tried both and they were so flavorful. Literally to the last bite delicious. We all love the fries and Brussels sprouts. The frickles were also super tasty (loved the onions in there) but I wish there were a little more zucchini in there, and maybe a little thicker too. The shakes were legit. The coffee shake had a surprisingly bold coffee flavor. Delicious! The vanilla was also awesome. Overall this was one of the best spots we have been to in a while. We all left wanting to come back.

Nice to see that they get a lot of customers. We ate in to stay out of the heat so I was able to see a steady line of customers coming in then going out. Hotdogs were prepared like an assembly line. You order, then one person assembles your dog (hotdog, polish dog, hot link) and adds the toppings. Then it gets wrapped while one person gets your drink ready. Then one person hands your order to you. The line moves quickly because the dogs are already cooked. The hotdogs still taste the same. It hits the spot if you want a hotdog. But it's not as good as a Costco hotdog or if you want a grilled bratwurst. Inside Casper's still has the same feel from the 70's with the same orange and yellow colors. Loved it!
