Haven't been to Boulevard Burger in a long time, but decided to go back and support a local spot instead of hitting a chain like Nation's or Habit Burger We were greeted right when we walked in and the cashier was really attentive with our order. He even took the time to check the cookies for peanuts since my son has an allergy, which I really appreciated. He also came by a couple times while we were eating to make sure everything was good. Honestly, this visit completely changed my past impression of the place. The food was really good, and I didn't realize they also had a pretty solid selection of alcoholic drinks. Definitely planning to come back this summer. read more

Whoa this place can get busy. We came here like around 7pm on a Friday night. And it took about 30 mins to get our burgers after ordering. And by the time we got our burgers the place was pretty much cleared. Ordered medium rare burger got a RARE burger. It was fine for me be because I didn't want to waste but my wife refused to eat it. Besides the burger being undercooked. Nothing really stood out either. Fries were meh. read more

I should have taken the rating to heart and ignored this place altogether, but it was close, and I was really craving a burger. I mean, you can't mess up a burger that badly, right? Boy, was I wrong. I ordered the "Kobe Beef Burger" with cheese...pretty basic. There is absolutely no way this was "Kobe beef" and to be fair, I didn't expect actual Kobe beef at that price point, but figured it would at least be a tasty, juicy burger and that is all I wanted. Ordered it medium rare (the good way), with a side of fries. I waited 20 minutes, which was already a red flag because there was nobody there. The man working the counter was nice, though. I took the burger to go (a 3 minute drive) and when I opened ot up, I couldn't believe how gross the patty looked. It had this gross gray color to it and didnt look appetizing at all. I gave it a taste just to be sure and it was inedible. I spit it out and went somewhere else. Super disappointing. The fries were good, but not enough to make up for the burger. No surprise this place is always empty. I wasted 20 dollars and 20 minutes. read more

Boulevard Burger - This was the "Kobe Beef burger" Looks like dog food. Tasted as such. - Burgers Near Me - Castro Valley, California

I have no idea why this place has such a low rating. This is one excellent burger spot - the buns are soft and homemade tasting, the patties are smashed thin but super flavorful and well balanced, fresh veggies and delicious fries and sauces. Nothing was a miss... I'd definitely return. read more

Boulevard Burger - Brisket blend burger - Burgers Near Me - Castro Valley, California

Boulevard Burger cooks up tasty burgers and fries in Castro Valley! The other day, I had a late lunch at Blvd Burger. It was my first time there, so I just went with the Blvd Burger w/ cheese. For an extra $6, I added fries and a drink and ate in the dining room. When I was ordering, the gentleman taking my order kept trying to get me to add more toppings to raise the price of my burger. Bacon? BBQ sauce? Onion Rings? No to all. My Blvd Burger w/ Cheese was over $10 alone. So I grab a table near the window, looking out to the off street parking lot. There's tables outside too. The place has a colorful decor like an old burger joint might have. I got myself some iced tea from the fountain machine. As I waited, I could smell the aroma of burgers frying on a grill. The server arrives with my burger and fries in a basket. When you're at a burger joint, you have to eat the food fresh from the kitchen. The burger is hot and juicy, and the fries are still crispy. My Blvd Burger was delicious! Hot, juicy, and full of flavor. Excellent french fries. Crispy on the outside, and tender soft on the inside. Lightly seasoned, and held up well to ketchup. Okay, your food is very good, but over $18 for a Blvd Burger, Fries, and Drink was a little pricey. Would I return? Maybe, if I had a serious burger craving. ------------------------ Review #2100 read more

Boulevard Burger - Blackened Chicken Burger - Burgers Near Me - Castro Valley, California

Nice fresh turkey burger. Meat is really tender with good flavor. Doesn't taste like it's cooked on same grill with beef burger. Nice service, everything was hot and fresh. Prepared in a timely manner. They have lots of meat substitutes including non meat options. Great sandwich and burger selection. Make it a combo for 6$ which includes drink and fries. Self added condiments. They have BANANA milkshakes which are sometimes hard to come across. Super delicious food and drinks, will definitely return. read more

We ate here last night. It has its own parking lot. That was nice. Also enjoyed the holiday decor. Atmosphere was nice. The workers were nice, but seemed a bit slow. Waited for our food for a bit. The food was only okayyyyy. I think for a burger that costs $13.95 I expected more. The patty seemed small and not as much flavor. I did enjoy the fries though! read more

Just ordered from here like an hr ago. I got the Bleu Cheese Burger w/a side of onion rings and a soda. I ordered medium rare with added bbq sauce. The onion rings said I can get two dips and I put ranch and chipotle aioli. What I received was a burger with no bbq and was medium. Onion rings that were cold and a few burnt as well as two ranch's. It's like they said screw what you ordered, we're gonna prepare it the way we want! I mean the food wasn't bad but it wasn't how I ordered it. That's very annoying. read more

We were craving burgers and needed somewhere nearby so we stopped by boulevard burger. It was pretty empty on a weeknight. We got our food pretty quick. The interior is decorated nicely in wood and bright lights. There's a good amount of indoor seating and a few tables for outside as well. There's parking lot itself is fairly small, but the restaurant is located near a residential area and across from a plaza. The burger itself was alright. I got the hot stuff burger and it was pretty greasy. The fried jalapeños were interesting, but there was no spice to it. After eating the burger, my hands were slicked with grease from the burger and I just felt heavy after. Price wise, I'd considered it pretty pricey. My burger was around the $13-15 range and just not worth the price. read more

This is the best picture I could get because my son never lets me see the burger. He eats it too fast. This is his go to place for a burger. He absolutely loves it. He loves going in ordering. And getting his Kobe burger! He always gets an Oreo milkshake and some chicken tenders too, which are always steaming hot and fresh! Nothing tastes frozen, or old, or like old oil! It's all fresh, crispy and the portions are a perfect size!! Don't get me started on the spicy grilled chicken, sheesh, just go!!! read more

Friendly service does he even say amazing food and adult drink. We had an amazing vanilla milkshake with Bailey's Irish cream.

Friday night splurge - gone wrong. It's not unreasonable to expect a restaurant to get your order right. They weren't busy, restaurant half empty. Online order, so I know what I ordered. Particularly when I watch the manager (gentlemen who has been there for years) open my Bronco Burger to check if it was correct and gave me the thumbs up. So I didn't check it myself. Trusting....Silly me. WHERE IS THE BACON???? a pivotal part of my order. Takeout order, getting home, after distractions and sitting down to enjoy my meal to only realize.... No bacon. Not going back, too late to call. VERY, VERY DISAPPOINTED! read more

Terrible service, placed an online order and got the notification that was order was ready. I arrived to the restaurant 10 minutes after the completion time. Order was not ready. The cook behind the counter was very rude. He told me to go sit down and wait for order and as I stated I don't want to sit down he got aggressive and stated I have to sit down until my order is complete due to the walkway needing to be empty for arriving customers. Mind you I've been sitting at the restaurant for the last 15 minutes and still no order is ready. Management needs to talk with their staff very unpleasant visit. Will not be returning back any time soon. read more

The food was so good last time I put in another order which was delivered from door dash. I got the fresh delicious mixed green salad with home made fresh ranch dressing Yum. I also ordered a kids grilled cheese and fries which tasted even better with the no charge toppings of lettuce tomato and dill pickles. Also yummy food. The option to order more sauces in this case the home made ranch dressing was appreciated. Fresh and tasty give this place a try. Two thumbs up Bon appetit read more

We came here on a weeknight and were not greeted when we walked in. We ordered the bbq bacon burger with a black bean patty with garlic fries and a chili dog with curly fries. With two drinks on top of that and some tip, we ended up paying almost $50. We were pretty shocked at how expensive the meal was for a couple of burgers. My partner said that the chili on the hot dog lacked flavor though the fried jalapeños were different. I can say the same about my black bean burger. The bun wasn't really toasted and it was still lukewarm, and the black bean patty fell apart upon eating it, so I was surprised that this place specializes in burgers. The garlic fries were good, but since we were not particularly impressed by the burger and hot dog, I'm not sure I would be back. read more

Came here on a Saturday for lunch and service is lacking. The menu is on a chalkboard and I had to ask for a paper menu to see everything. I have been here a long time ago but wanted to give it another try. The prices are kind of steep for just a burger and you still have to add on the sides. There is also a 3% automatic fee for using a credit card which is also relatively high in my opinion. We had a table of 9 and the cups and silverware just looked like it needed some extra cleaning. The burger itself was good. I had a mushroom burger, onion rings and curly fries. Everything came out tasty. However I don't know if it was worth the price. read more

The burgers were amazing--super classic! Our host was knowledgeable and well-versed in the menu. We also tried the regular fries and the sweet potato fries. I love that they offer beers on tap and a full cocktail menu. We chose to sit outside, and the weather was perfect for it. If you're looking for an excellent burger and an ice-cold beer, this is the place to be! read more

I've been looking for a good burger place in Castro Valley for quite a long time now. All the chain restaurants are terrible. However, Boulevard burgers has given me hope for the future of burger joints in Castro Valley. Great burgers, fries, and really good powder dipped on onion rings. Hopefully the next time I get a craving for a good burger, they show me that they are consistent. Then I'll really be a happy camper. read more

First time here on recommendations from locals, we, a party of 4.2 had their basic Boulevard Burger w/cheese (2), a couple of specialty burgers (2), chicken tenders, onion rings and some sodas, burgers do not come with fries but the tenders did, the bill ticked over $100 with tax and tip, if we had gotten fries it would have been about $20 more. Overall the burgers were good but IMO a bit pricey considering they did not come with fries and the tenders were a bit dry. Service was good, you order and pay at the counter then grab a table and they will bring your food out when it's ready, they checked on us mid-meal and picked up our dishes when we were finished. read more

Great food, friendly people, and nice cozy cheerful vibe. Excellent burgers and slaw.

Good food, good atmosphere. I like to support small businesses. A good selection of food. My kids love the burgers

TLDR; I like layout of the restaurant, friendly cashier, an ok mushroom burger Mushroom burger: lacks flavor, Tbh I have this problem with a lot of mushroom burgers from different restaurants. But for this one specifically, bun wasnt toasted, lettuce and tomato were fresh, I wish I had a little more lettuce personally, mushrooms and onions were well cooked they look beautiful and there were so many mushrooms which makes sense but they just didnt have any flavor, got multiple cheese pulls (personally I think cheese pulls are annoying to bite) but the swiss had no flavor. The patty looks beautiful on the outside, the cross section tho looks ok, not juicy but not dry, I did order welldone so maybe it was my fault? Patty was ok. Also theres no sauce. Its not a bad burger, id say its higher quality but less flavor than mcdonalds. But again, I only tried the mushroom burger I bet the other burgers would have more flavor. Extra: Small area for menu cashier cant see you, go to the right to cashier to order, give u a number stick, to the right again is a bigger room with 2 flat screen tv, a long couch on the wall and the middle with chairs. The room also includes drink dispenser, napkins, utensils etc. the table includes napkins mustard ketchup salt and pepper. This is a nice place for an introvert. Actually I should mention to the right of the room is the entrance to the kitchen with no doors, you can some times see the workers passing by Waiter does take away your plate when ur done. They did have a burger that was a normal burger but no cheese. I bet the blvd burger and add on cheddar would be delicious. Still be cheaper than the other burgers too. 4/5 wanted a better burger read more

I don't usually eat burgers, but when I do, Boulevard Burger is the spot. The fried jalapeños are legit. They also have a liquor license

High quality burger joint in Castro Valley. Nice to stop by and eat in their small dining room. You order in the front and sit down after paying. We enjoy their hot stuff burger for the beer battered jalapeños. The curly fries and onion rings are also really good! I wish they would use better bread, like a sesame bun or brioche bun. read more

Castro valley does not lack for burger places. Since Val's has remained on such limited hours, this is the next best. They will let you have your burger rare and that is how ours came The patty is pretty thin but it was good They have lots of ideas for fixings-- various cheeses toppings dressings etc Chicken sandwich did the job. The salad was surprisingly ok. Lots of stuff on it. It's still a bottled dressjng but that's ok for this kind of place and I don't know if better salads in castro valley ( sad but true) It would be nice if the cashier knew what dressings are recommended for what salads. Friendly enough staff and plenty of parking We had: Chicken sando Blue cheese burger Bronco burger Cobb salad Mocha milkshake read more

Stopped by here randomly to try to catch 49ers MNF game and wait for the traffic back home to die down. Was glad to see a place with the game on and audio on (though low volume enough not too disturb others not interested in the game). Service was great - very courteous and friendly cashier who brought order to the table - even though all I ordered was a side of fried jalapeños and a glass of beer. Also got a beer sample in a proper shot glass. read more

I'm not a fast food guy at all. Burgers and friesare not on my menu. But this place I'll give 5 stars. Stellar burgers for all tribes. Vegetarian,vegan and carnivore. They also have tuna and salmon burgers. Went with my family last night. They have a variety of beers and wines unusual for a burger place. Service is so friendly. Folks from Castro valley should support this place. Get in not out if you know what I meant. Great place great food. read more

My two most recent visits to Boulevard lead me to I will NEVER go there again. The time before two days ago the french fries were soggy. The most recent time was an absolute disaster. I got food poisoning from my meal. I asked for the hamburger to be cooked medium, and it was considerably less than that. I happened to be at a medical facility the next day and feeling nauseous, fortunately I was able to see a nurse. While talking to him, I violently threw up. He was concerned enough to call in a doctor. And no, all I had after that meal was a bowl of cold cereal in the morning. It was definitely the burger that made me sick. So it was either the burger, undercooked or just unsafe handling of food that got me violently sick. Never again Never again read more

This location used to be so good but sadly declined the last 2years. We dont even eat there anymore. The food was terrible!

FLAVOR, OFFERINGS A lot of people really hype up boulevard burger CV, but it's kind of in the same realm as McDonald's. If you like your burger cooked well done, smashed very flat, with flavorless toppings, this is the place. I ordered a regular burger with all fixings, and my dining partners got specialty ones with bacon and special sauce. They found them to be lacking in flavor. I ordered mine medium rare, one of my dining partners got his rare, the other got hers medium. All three burgers came well done. We all were disappointed in how overdone the meat was. What I do like about Boulevard Burger is that they accommodate gluten free, and advertise that on their menu. PARKING AND LOCATION, SERVICE Parking is easy and free. BB is located next to an average boba spot that has mochi donuts. The outdoors seating is very nice. Ordering can be done inside, or on your mobile device. WORTH IT? It was a little steep in price considering the quality. I was adequately satisfied with the experience but would not go back. I much prefer Val's!! read more

My mother had wanted to get burgers and we were looking on Yelp to see what was around. We didn't want to go to The Habit or In-n-Out, so I looked around to see where else we could go to try. I saw Boulevard Burger and looked through their menu and decided to give them a try. I called in to place the order for pick up and gotten 2 mushroom burgers, a brisket blend burger, 2 French fries and an Oreo milk shake. Upon arriving for pick up, we went up to the register to pay and they gave you the option to either wait in the dining area with a number for them to bring your food or you can wait in your car and provide the make and color for them to find you. We decided to wait in the dining area, although this was on a very very hot day. The staff were all super kind and friendly. The Oreo shake was delicious! I wish it was a bit thicker, but it was yummy none the less. The burger was so yummy! I really enjoyed it because it wasn't so salty, perfectly seasoned and just enough. I would definitely come back for their burgers again! read more

Boulevard Burger - Lemon drop - Burgers Near Me - Castro Valley, California

We ordered our dinner for 3 to be ready at 6:15 pm last night. We arrived on time and had to wait until 6:45 to get our food which was awful. The fries were under cooked, the burger was slathered in mayo, my grilled cheese looked like a child made it, the chicken strips meal should have 4 strips, we only got 2. This meal was awful and we threw away most of it. We were regular customers but as of now, we won't return. Bad service, bad food. Yuck yuck yuck they just lost a good customer. read more

I haven't been here in years. A friend of mine was telling me about the one in San Leandro and how good it is. First off looking at the prices, I think I was over charged. I got a tuna melt with sweet potato fries and shake for $31.00. Small fries and small shake. I'm like oh this better be good. Worse tuna I ever had. Tastes tart like lemon was in it. The mayo was on the bread in stead of mixed with tuna. Banana shake had no flavor. This place is nothing like I remembered it had to be 10 years since I've been here. I remember them having bomb banana shakes. I don't know what happened but I'm good. Terrible! I guess I will stick with JPs tuna sandwich or make my own. Maybe their burgers are better. ‍ read more
