    I drive by this place all the time, finally decided to try it. The food was ok, nothing spectacular. For what I paid, it was a decent amount. However, the food made me sick. I got a burger, chili fries, corn dog and a root beer float. I shared the fries with my co workers. I took 2 bites and was not a fan. The corn dog was decent. I liked that it was crispy however it tasted like it had been fried in OLD oil. Burger was super bland and dry. I think I got sick from the burger. I didn't have enough fries or corn dog, and my co worker didn't get sick. The burger gave me a massive heart burn which resulted in me puking. The cashier was not very welcoming, she had this permanent stank face, when she repeated back the order, I couldn't even hear her. She rolled her eyes every time I asked her something. No smile, nothing. But I guess given the area it comes with the territory.

    Almost $15 for a deluxe cheeseburger combo w/ shake upgrade. Fulfills the need for a McDonald's like burger, pretty good unremarkable 1/4 pound burger. Fries aren't perfectly crispy but still good, kind of like how in n out fries used to be. Shake was 11/10-I think they blended canned strawberries, giving it a great texture and flavor.

    A delicious on frills cheese burgers rainy day. The service was friendly. Taste of nostalgia.

    Bag of cheeseburgers, onion rings, and strawberry shakes!

    This has become my go to place in san jose! The bag of cheeseburgers is only 14 bucks for 5, a nice. Helping of onion rings and the milkshakes are amazing. It's a walk up establishment with a few tables to enjoy your food so as far as ambiance, it depends on what is going on outside, but the service is quick and friendly . Definitely a place I'd recommend for a quick bite... not necessarily a place for romance dinners...lol

    Burger bar wasn't anything special besides the length of time the place has been in SJ. The burgers in my opinion were not tasty at all but the milkshakes on the other hand were very delicious. The burger lacked flavor and was very dry. The burgers are also are inexpensive and would be great maybe after a late night coming home from the bar. I don't have a desire to go back but glad I got to try them.

    Double cheeseburger, breakfast sandwich, fries!

    Last time I ate here was over 10 years ago.Legendary spot. The bag of burgers has always been a solid deal and good service over all! Maybe my tastebuds have matured over the years but I really struggled with that sweet relish ketchup in the burger. And i got a double cheeseburger so that made the beef more noticeable and I have to say, the beef patties were a little dry and not the best tasting.but it was not bad either. kind of reminded me of a dryer Salisbury steak minus the gravy. But I still respect this spot. The fries were good and they give ALOT for the family size! Also got a breakfast sandwich and it was delicious! The bacon was cooked perfectly and crispy! I would definitely still eat here again but will probably opt for removing the relish and just stick to ketchup! I do also want to try their nuggets, taco, burrito, fish sandwich, and chicken sandwich! I hope this place keeps going!

    Yeah I've been driving past this place for years thinking it was a ghetto, run down burger spot, but I was always intrigued by the mystical sign advertising "Burgers 5 for $9.99". One day, I finally tried it. Let's get into it. The low price is not false advertisement. The food here is actually all super cheap. You can get the advertised 5 for $9.99, or upgrade to cheeseburgers for 5 for 12.99. You can also get a bag of fries for a couple dollars, and other miscellaneous items for cheap. It kinda reminds me of mom & pop burger spots like Classic burgers of Los Gatos, or Happy Hound, but much cheaper. The quality of the food is admittedly not great, but it's not terrible either. I'd compare the burgers to McDonald's. They're about as big as a McDonald's cheeseburger (so not very big), but they taste a lot better. They remind me of a backyard cookout burger, the patty has a smoky grilled flavor to it, and they slather relish on it, which tastes pretty good imo. The fries here were trash, I wouldn't order them again. In regards to venue and ambiance, there's a small outdoor seating area with tables/benches with umbrellas. Parking is OK, just don't miss the turn! Looking back, Burger Bar sells really cheap burgers that are actually not that bad. It's cheaper than most fast food spots, and arguably better. Enough talk.

This is their current location, but I don't think it's their permanent place of business. Just for the time being. Google maps will take you to a parking lot entrance that's closed, blocked by a chain, so make sure you enter the parking lot on Locust Street. I ordered online, and the wait time was a bit long (20+ minutes) but not terrible. And once you arrive, there's a sign near the parking lot directing you to walk down an alley-like path. No signs at the door, just a dumpster outside. Yup, that's where you pick up. It feels like you're walking through the back door of a restaurant kitchen. Actually when you step inside, it indeed IS the kitchen which doubles as a pickup spot (no seats, no signs, I just showed the guy my order on my phone and he handed me my food packed neatly in a paper bag). I got the perro loco which comes with fries on the side, and an arepa with cheese. I didn't like that customers can't customize items when ordering online for pick up. Also wasn't a fan of the pineapple sauce, though I think that's one of the things they're known for. But the hot dog was still good, generous with the toppings and certainly unique. The sausage was plump and juicy with a mild flavor. The fries were delicious as well, and didn't taste cheap. And the mini arepa with cheese was buttery and had a nice texture. Altogether it made for a filling meal.

The menu is extensive with a mix of options (including a vegetarian burger). I ordered El Apto which came with a beef patty, bacon, shredded chicken, lettuce, tomato...all between a brioche bun. This came with fries and a side of pineapple sauce and apto sauce. I dipped my fries in the apto sauce and it was so good! The pineapple sauce goes well in the burger and also on the fries. The beef patty was perfectly seasoned and so juicy. All the flavors were amazing and tasted so fresh. I loved the crispy bacon and the shredded chicken. The chicken was well flavored and they put an ample amount on top of the burger. Wow! What a great combo. I also tried the maracuya (passion fruit) drink and it was so good! I like that it wasn't too sweet. It's fresh and refreshing. They are pretty busy because it's their opening so there might be a wait but it's totally worth it. There are tables around for you to sit so it's casual. The owner is so nice and you can tell he is very proud of his food. Highly recommend!!

The hostess was very friendly and showed us to our table. We had a table inside, which was an intimate upscale casual area with a bar. We ordered the stuffed mushrooms for a starter. It was so hard to pick one because everything on the menu sounds so good. Alas, I have a small appetite. The mushrooms were very tasty and a nice start to our meal. For entrees, we had the halibut and prime filet with a side of broccolini. Everything was cooked perfectly and was delicious. Drinks are on the pricey side- I had a Hero Old Fashioned and the Taylor Made, $20 each. They were nicely crafted, so worth the price. They brought out a Carmel Popcorn Sundae for my husband's birthday and even gave him a birthday card which I thought was a nice touch. Service was slow and steady. We had ample time to enjoy our food without feeling rushed, but never felt like our server forgot about us. We spent about 2 hours for dinner. Probably not a place to go if you're in a hurry. I'm eager to return and try some more of the starters. It's the kind of place I'd love to take out of town guests - high quality fine dining in a casual and relaxed environment.

The restaurant had a nice visual ambience, but also felt casual as there was a lot of chatter, which isn't a bad thing depending on what you're looking for. Our waiter was especially friendly and helped us decide what to order. I really wish I could remember his name, as I'm posting this a bit late, but he was a huge reason why we had a great experience! Here's a quick rating on the food itself: Stuffed mushrooms (3.5/5): This was recommended by the waiter as a favorite among patrons. The mushrooms weren't bad or anything, but for some reason, it gave me combination pizza vibes that I wasn't expecting. It was good, but I wouldn't go out of my way to order it again personally. Bone-in ribeye (5/5): an amazing cut that was cooked perfectly. Exactly what you would expect from a good steakhouse. The compound butter was fantastic! Bone-in apricot glazed pork chop (3.5/5): this one may hit different for different folks. The pork was perfectly cooked and juicy, but the apricot glaze was definitely a little too sweet for our palettes. If you're looking for something more savory, I might try something else. But hey, sweet might be your thing too! Caramel popcorn sundae (4.5/5): we got this one complimentary for being our special day, which was a really nice surprise! And it was a full serving! This one was obviously sweet, but surprisingly more subdued than it sounds, which was really nice! Overall, it was truly a memorable night with great food. And though some things didn't quite work for our palettes, I can totally see that it may for others--so that didn't impact my ratings because they were still good--just not for us. That said, the care that we received on our anniversary was what truly made me land on a 5/5 rating. Definitely coming back for future special occasions!
