BEST IN CLASS BURGER JOINT! It checks all the best boxes. GRASS FED BEEF! FRIES FRIED IN TALLOW! NO toxic, inflammatory SEED OILS! Plus their service is amazing! Shakes are fantastic! Even their onion rings are fried in tallow. read more

This chain restaurant is trying new things, and it doesn't make it a better experience for me. Firstly as someone who doesn't eat red meat, I can no longer eat their fries or onion rings since they're fried in beef fat (they call it tallow). I usually order the cod sandwich, and they assured me that it's not cooked in tallow, actually they said it's cooked in olive oil which I'm not sure is correct, but at any rate I didn't taste any beef fat and it was delicious. Also, I have enjoyed their shakes made with cashew milk in the past, but now they use something different, and they still taste pretty good. What the employees on duty told me conflicts with the website, but they said this location uses Oatley oat milk, and they actually showed me the carton to prove it. Now for the service, the man taking my order seemed new as he didn't know much, but was able to answer my questions by asking the manager on duty, which I appreciated. Also he got my shake order wrong but apologized multiple times and got me the correct one. Since I couldn't order fries or onion rings I wanted a side salad, but unfortunately they were out of it! So a questionable experience overall, and I may choose to dine somewhere different next time as there are many restaurants in this strip-mall location, plus Whole Foods across the street. [[HIGHLIGHT]]As far as ambiance, they have ample indoor seating and a nice outdoor patio with music, which is partly sunshine, partly shade, and of course popular with dogs and their owners.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

The serving sizes, quality, and customer service has all gone down hill. I wouldn't come back again. Also if you upgrade the ice cream dessert to a milkshake you do not get a drink. read more

Burger Lounge - Kids meal - Burgers Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

I love that Burger Lounge offers gluten free buns, so that those with gluten allergies or celiac can enjoy a burger. They prepare the burger separately and safely to avoid cross contamination. I do wish that they had gluten-free fries, but the fryer is used for more than one item and therefore the fries aren't safe for gluten-allergic folks. The service was quite friendly and attentive. They were asking for folks to fill out a comment questionnaire, so I'm sure that was partially the motivation, but it was appreciated nonetheless. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambience is casual; burger joint vibes, but very clean and spacious.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] There was nothing wrong with the food. It was tasty. The pricing was fair. Not super cheap, but definitely less costly than Five Guys burgers. Oh, and kids eat free on Tuesdays and Sundays! read more

This place is great for the price! The meats and sides are high quality. The fish sandwich lacks a little in flavor, but the turkey burger is always amazing. The tablets to order can take a while and glitch, but if you want to speak with a person, they are always very kind and efficient. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There is a good mix of indoor and outdoor seating and windows that make the restaurant feel large.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The bathrooms are also cleaned well.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I've been coming to Burger Lounge in Walnut Creek on and off for years. One of the main reasons I keep returning is that they offer grass-fed beef and generally healthier ingredients than most burger chains. My biggest issue has always been consistency. Sometimes the food is absolutely delicious, and other times it's so different that it feels like you're eating at a completely different restaurant. I've ordered the same items over the years and had dramatically different experiences depending on the visit. Unfortunately, my most recent visit was enough to motivate me to finally write a review. I ordered my usual cod burger and added American cheese. The only thing I changed was trying the gluten-free bun. When my meal arrived, the bun was dry, crumbly, and falling apart, so I ended up removing it. That's when I noticed the cheese was missing. I went to the counter and politely let the manager know. A few minutes later, she came to my table carrying a single slice of cheese on a plate. By that point I had already removed the bun and eaten about a third of the burger, so handing me a cold slice of cheese wasn't exactly a solution. I declined it and continued eating. A few minutes later, while I was still trying to finish my meal, she returned to my table, leaned over it, and loudly explained that I hadn't been charged for the cheese. At that point I just nodded and said "OK, thank you" because I wanted to finish my lunch in peace. The missing cheese wasn't really the problem. Mistakes happen. What bothered me was the way the situation was handled. Combined with the ongoing inconsistency in the food, it left a bad taste in my mouth, pun intended. I still appreciate Burger Lounge's commitment to better ingredients, but after years of mixed experiences, I wish the execution and customer service were more consistent. read more

Takeout. Hadn't been there in quite a while, but the food was fantastic. The bacon Gorgonzola cheeseburger was perfect on a brioche bun. The cod sandwich, grilled not fried, also terrific. Fries in beef tallow were very crisp. The fries-onion ring half & half yummy. read more

Delicious burger and quick service. Parking is easy and plentiful. Burger was about $10 each. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Bright store and tables were clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I got take out, and the fries were really good! read more

The last time I had dine inside Burger Lounge was in May 2022. It has been almost three years since I ate at Burger Lounge. Recently they added a self service kiosk to order your food. I recently dine at Burger Lounge and the Lounge Burger was great! A juicy patty that was good! The French Fries were not oily compare to other places and it was not salty. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It is still relaxing inside Burger Lounge. They still show college sports on their TV without volume.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Keep up the good work Burger Lounge. I shall return here eventually. read more

Wow, it was good! After a long day at work, a long commute home, I decided to try Burger Lpunge. Ordered the western burger and fries. They have a special price for the western at $8 right now and that was such a deal! Great burger- it does come a little pink, but I ate it just fine! Fries are great- thicker than McDonald's, sort of the width of Wendy's fries, and tastes a little more natural. The kids who work here are super polite and even offered to take my tray as I exited. I'll be back for a pumpkin shake! They use real Tillamook for the shakes which is amazing! read more

I love this burger joint, they definitely do a better job with their ingredients, grass feed beef, better ketchup, healthier soda alternatives etc, as someone who is health conscious I don't feel guilty about eating here.

This is located in The Orchards shopping center. There is plenty of parking available as there are many restaurants in this large center. We order takeout from here on occasion. I've tried a few things on the menu, but the latest was the California Lounge Burger (burger, avocado, bacon, cheddar, lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, BL 1000 island). With all the fixings, it was a pretty large burger. You can taste the difference in the quality of beef; they use 100% grassfed beef. The burger patty was made like a smash burger with crispy edges but the temp inside was still cooked to my liking. I also got a side of onion rings with ranch. I would for sure order this same thing again. read more

Amazing service and crew food was bomb [[HIGHLIGHT]]great atmosphere[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 20 stars mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Food is always excellent. Service used to be consistently excellent. Most times it still is good but my service today was pitiful. Today is the 2nd time in the 5-7 yr I have patronized them, that the company used a bait and switch. They advertise a kids rat free if you purchase an entree. When you purchase, it wonʻt allow it. I drove 13 mi from Pittsburg to Walnut Creek to treat my kid to this. I call & they say, the issue is I ordered a discount entree and I cannot get the kids free meal then. There was a lot of "you know, that's how it is", "thats normal every place you go", but no defense to the fact that the advertisement for kids eat free with an entree did NOT indicate the entree needed to be full price. When I arrive, the employee does not realize I was the one she just spoke to and she is insulting me on the phone with the GM/owner & describing my concerns as "complaining", & framing it in a way that I am trying to get 2 discounts at once, rather than the truth: I got an offer and went to order it so it was ready when I arrived, and they switch the rules that we offer was under. The way you tell a story matters and the The way you tell a story matters and the way you talk about said customer when you think the customer doesn't hear you matters. I totally get their point, but they never got mine. You don't get to advertise one thing and offer another. As I said, this isn't the first time they've done this.But the last time they honored their false offer. This is not an economy where you wanna play with people who are trying to support your business. I did appreciate a supervisor who in the end handled It even if I did not feel I was treated respectfully by her staff, her staff was not apologetic, and I did not get the order that I wanted. read more

Every time I order from this place I ask for well done because the burgers are always medium to rare. For whatever reason they always give me a disgustingly rare burger in the middle. Never again after my kid scarfed the burger half way down not realizing it was raw in the center. They need to use a thermometer before they make someone severely ill. I hope my kid is going to be okay... read more

Service was exceptional and food was the bomb Enjoyed my experience and will definitely be coming back.

OK burgers that are quite expensive. I was very impressed by the burger patties as they're pretty thick, juicy, and nicely cooked. I was somewhat disappointed in almost everything else however, especially for the price. The toppings and sauces were all kinda bland with not much flavor and reminded me of fast food burgers that are 1/3 the price. The fries and onion rings were similarly plain and simple but overpriced. The chocolate malt was very good though! read more

After a trip up to Mt Diablo, we stopped here for a quick bite. I had a basic burger and a beer, and enjoyed it. My wife and God-father had the "new" buffalo burger. They were not too crazy about it. Complaint was "too dry", but I do think that's what you get with buffalo. Fries and onion ring combo was tasty, even with the organic ketchup. FYI, you order at the counter and the food is brought to you. Very convenient. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Inside was cozy. Would have been nice if the temperature was warm enough to dine outside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

We stopped by last night after playing 18 at Boundary Oaks. No line, did the self ordering at the kiosk. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Restaurant was clean and had a few tables filled.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Short wait for our burgers and fries/onion rings. The beef patties were tasty and juicy. I liked that they used shredded lettuce as it gave more flavor, IMO. They had a nice selection of self serve craft sodas, lemonades, and a Diet Coke spigot. Goodness delivered by friendly staff. One young man also checked on us and cleaned our trays... very nice guy who provided good service. What's the negative? Not enough parking near the restaurant! I'll be back- read more

I ordered online pickup. My husband had the Lounge burger with added avocado and bacon. For $19.80, he expected a gourmet burger full of flavor. He said the burger was just okay and ate half. He was disappointed. I ordered the Wild Alaskan Cod Sandwich with Gluten-free bread ($1.95) extra. I was really excited since it was "WILD" cod verses farm-raised. It missed the mark... the cod had no flavor. It needed seasoning and the cod was not cooked long enough. It was cold and mushy inside. For $14.90, I expected better. Like my husband, I only ate half of the sandwich. Shaking-my-head. We also ordered the chicken tenders. The batter was thick and hard. The chicken was dry. No bueno! On the plus side, the onion rings and french fries were both delicious. Crispy and soft in the inside. Spending over $51 for medicare food, we don't plan to return back. read more

Food is great! Employees are friendly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very clean inside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I come here often. Best Onion Rings ever.

We've been trying to find a great burger spot in Concord/Wanut Creek for a bit. After seeing Burger Lounge on a few drives, we decided to check it out! It's... fine. Nice cozy inside and the staff are friendly. My favorite part of our experience was the batch craft soda (the shirly temple flavor was great) and the root beer float had great vanilla bean ice cream. I got the Lounge Burger and my spouse got the Classic. They were okay. Burgers had barely any seasoning, but were cooked pretty well. Just kind of bland. Fries had no salt at all, but the onion rings were good. Overall it's a decent spot, but for $10 a burger I was expecting a bit more in terms of flavor. read more

Great service food was good my grand daughter loved her cheese burger and fries. I had a salad which was really good and fresh. Atmosphere was nice a few tvs in easy view to watch sports or whatever else is going on.

Wow this place was so good! I was pleasantly surprised at how many vegan options they had. I got the Plant Based Lounge burger (made with Impossible) and requested vegan cheese. The burger comes with a vegan thousand island sauce. The caramelized onions and shredded lettuce are my favorite burger toppings and they were amazing! I also got a dairy free chocolate shake (made with cashew milk). The staff were super friendly and the restaurant is pretty modern and clean. I was so happy to get the full burger experience with all the vegan additions they have available. I will definitely be back to try the vegan chicken nuggets and more of their dairy free milkshake flavors! read more

Took 20 minutes to get our order on a Thursday night via the online ordering system (the website said 10 minutes). Burger was tasty - love the wheat burger bun and the meat was juicy - but a little bit sloppily made; half my burger didn't have tomato on it. The onion rings stayed crispy so that was a plus. Their strawberry shake was good but thicker than I personally like. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]I went there about noon on a Tuesday, didn't expect too many people but the place was dead silent.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] There weren't even employees behind the counter, only a few tablets to order on. I honestly thought they were closed until one stepped out from behind the kitchen door to say hi. I prefer human interaction to ordering on a tablet that god knows how many people have touched, I'm sure they clean it but the health code violation on the front door doesn't really re-enforce that thought. I got a classic burger to go, it was very mediocre. It was pretty dry and bland, nothing special about it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Overall it was not the greatest, I used to eat here quite a bit but now it feels like a husk of a restaurant, very lifeless and corporate with bland food.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] In my opinion, not worth the price. read more

So disappointed. Burger Lounge used to be my favorite, and we just went back and the quality of products used has just tanked. Also, despite ordering at the Kiosk, somehow messed up our order. They gave my husband a meat patty when he paid an extra $2 for an impossible one and then gave us each the wrong sauce. We don't like to waste so he just ate it. Also the onion rings he normally gets would be crispy and delicious. This time they looked soggy and disgusting. They didn't even put his whole burger together and left his added bacon just thrown in the middle of the tray. So odd. They also changed the BL 1,000 island and it is no longer vegan. So they only have BBQ (which is not good) or yellow mustard as vegan options for their plant based section. So sad and unfortunately the experience was so Negative we will not be back. read more

Burger Lounge is located off of Ygnacio Valley Rd, right next to California Fish Grill, and in the same shopping center as Jack's Urban Eats and Thai Thani. I've seen Burger Lounge for awhile now since I frequent California Fish Grill, along with other spots in this shopping area that's just filled with eating options, but had yet to actually try them out for myself. Decided to do a take-out order with them through their website. It was pretty straight forward, and wasn't a whole lot of hoops to jump through to get the order in. Their menu size is pretty good, but it's a burger place primarily, so how many options would you really want there to be anyways. For those who are vegetarian or want chicken options as well, this place does offer it. Prices are reasonable, as the amount of food I got matched the pricing pretty well. Everything else eating wise is around this price anyways, so it's comparable if anything. Today I ordered a Husky Burger and a side of onion rings/fries. The onion rings/fries were pretty good. I actually do dig their fries quite a bit, and the onion rings were, alright. No complaints with them here, especially since the half/half were pretty cheap for what you get. If you were to compare it I'd say you can compare it to the one at The Habit, but I feel they probably give you better portions here for the cost. The Husky Burger is basically their double burger. Let's talk about the patty quality first. Their patties are made well. They're cooked just right, and everything here is medium unless otherwise stated, but certainly done quite well. Not dry, just enough juices. Well cooked patty. The stuff inside the burger were good too, albeit, it was just their basic burger with tomatoes lettuce, etc. The thousand island dressing it comes with is, kinda bland for my taste. If anything, that's probably my only complaint about the burger is that how bland the burger itself was. Just had almost no flavor to it. None of the sauces really gave off any distinct flavor, and the patties themselves probably had the majority of the flavor in the burger, not that I'm complaining. The sauces here, they'll charge extra if you want extra, but they are pretty good actually. Fairly different, so I could understand. I got the BBQ sauce, and it's a very sweet and smokey sauce. Not sure I could have too much of it, but was interesting, and I wonder what their other sauces tastes like now. Overall, Burger Lounge is a solid burger place to be at if you're in the area. They cook their patties well, so that is certainly one of the standouts here, as the size of the patties are also quite, meaty. I do wish it was a bit more flavorful from the actual sauces they put onto the burger, but will be curious to try out some of the other saucier options next time to see if it has the same problem. Onion rings and fries were good, and cost was not too much. Would be happy to be back again in the future. read more

The service was good. We ordered two SOBs (one double) a half and half (french fries and onion rings). I like their craft soda, I had the ginger beer is good. The meat was delish, a bit greasy but good. Too much bread I took the top bread off. The half and half we got more fries than onion rings 80/20. A bit disappointed the onion rings were small. They were crunchy. Fries were average. Ambiance is family. read more

The food is always good here. My family keeps it simple with burger and fries which they always do well. Meat is juicy, buns are soft, and vegetables are fresh. The fries are crispy on outside and fluffy on the inside. Everything comes out hot and delicious. The only reason I dock it a star are for things that probably have to do with staff shortage. The food took a while to come out and they didn't bring everything. We had to go back up to ask about the fries and sauces. In addition a few drinks at the fountain were low on syrup. But overall, the food keeps us coming back. read more

Second time I contracted food poisoning here. The recent episode I had was the full on food poisoning experience that had me out for 2 days including Mother's Day.

Solid four stars for all that they've got. Excellent place with the cool vibe and very pleasant atmosphere. Everything is brand new inside out. Have limited variety of all your heart desire burgers including Paleo (bun free, protein style) one. Whole wheat buns and grilled onion with juicy Patty is really some thing to give it a try. Organic lemonade with less sugar was right on the spot. Thought through interior, new restrooms and excellent outside seating are calling to be back which I will gladly do. read more

Tried their Truffle Mushroom Swiss burger which was delicious. The truffle flavor came through and the beef patty was juicy. The bun felt super rustic yet really soft. There was slight bitterness that came through with each bite - wasn't sure where it came from (maybe the arugula?) but it wasn't unpleasant. I did wish there were more mushrooms on the burger. But other than that, my burger was quite delicious. We also got Half & Half (Half Onion Rings and Half French Fries) as a side to share, and the onion rings were good (slightly thinner on the batter though) and the fries were also tasty. Overall I really liked what we got from this place. I think the price was a bit high though in my opinion ($13 for my burger as of January 2023) while the portion wasn't that huge, and the burger didn't come with any side. I'd love to try this place again during happy hour though (see one of my photos). The service was nice, and staff were friendly. The restaurant seemed well kept and clean. No complaints in those areas :) read more

Visited this place yesterday with a colleague to enjoy a quick lunch while working in Walnut Creek. Overall this place is good but a bit pricey, comparable if not more expensive than 5 guys. In total I paid $44.00 for two burgers, 2 orders of fries and 2 drinks. Seems a bit expensive for burgers. I believe the big thing here is that they serve grass fed beef but no noticeable taste over regular beef. Long story short not sure I would eat here again for the amount I paid and the food I ate. As far as flavor and taste, it's a burger and no real big differences or anything that sets it apart from other burgers . Overall the service was good and the ambiance was new fresh looking diner. Again reason for my 3 star review was mostly because of price compared to food ratio and because it doesn't set itself apart from others on taste. read more
