    Classic Burger & Onion Rings
    Matthew C.

    [IN A NUTSHELL] mom & pop shop burger spot, classic burgers [VERDICT] - APPROVED [RUN-DOWN] A great spot if you are looking for some good classic burgers that are authentic and not cheap fast food. This was recommended to me by a co worker and a cute little shop with a classic diner vibes. [SCORE & ORDER] OVERALL: 3.25/5 Classic Burger $ (3.5/5) -Cheese Burger with Pastrami -A classic cheese burger with a twist of sliced/bits of pastrami. I decided to get this since it was the name of the restaurant. The burger came with lettuce, tomato, onions, pickles (I did not get), ketchup, and mustard (I did not get) and pastrami. The pastrami was interesting and I don't think I am a pastrami guy. No matter though because the burger was just as delicious. It was super juicy and flavorful. For a mom and pop shop, it tasted like a classic burger place. The burger was also super hefty and was full just from the burger. A nice touch to the burger was that the top of the bun was also toasted which gave a nice crispy taste to the burger itself. Onion Rings $ (3/5) -The classic onion rings... Nothing to special about the onions rings but they were nonetheless delicious. Super crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. [SERVICE & ATMOSPHERE] (not reflected upon review score): We came on a weekday lunch time and the sit down was not as busy but there were people ordering to go. There is also a soda machine if you get that option. The staff was super nice and I believe she is the owner of the restaurant.

    I've heard about this place for years since moving into town and never got the chance to try it until today. It is truly a town's jewel. The classic cheeseburger is a must. The fries were not greasy; onion rings were simple and yet tasty. The classic cheeseburger was simply delicious. Freshly made by the friendly owners. This will be our new go to burger place!

    Nice lil burger joint. Had very retro/vintage restaurant vibes. The food itself was pretty good & the staff were super nice. I enjoyed the burger meat. Wasn't the biggest fan of NY steak sandwich meat was a little too chewy for my liking but solid food. Next time will get the cheeseburger, fry/combo for $13

    Was craving a Philly cheese steak and decided to give Classic Burger a chance. I was pleasantly surprised and thoroughly enjoyed my sandwich! Bread is soft and warm and the meat was tender and flavorful, with the cheese melted perfectly. Note the sandwiches are a bit small and probably won't fill you if you're super hungry though.

    I've heard about this place for years having lived in the area for some time. I love the pastrami burger at Utah's Crown Burger so I was looking forward to trying this place! It's located in a little strip mall on Hesperian, definitely a hole in the wall kind of place. Old school menu board, older style tables/benches, it has that 1980's mom and pop kind of vibe. They are a bit understaffed when it gets busy but the food is cooked to order and they bring it out to you on an old school orange tray. I got the pastrami burger and fries. Portions were good sized and the pastrami burger was pretty good. Decent place to get a greasy burger from a local spot.

    Damn it's my fault for sleeping on this place for too long. I would pass by it almost every day going to work in 2018/19, just never been. There's hella parking and easy to get to. When you see the sign and that thing is faded you know the food is about to smackerino. The place is clean and hella nostalgic. The burger is good, it's just a classic burger with no frills. The service is good too, they bring it out for you and pretty quick.

    Wowzers! This place was amazing! While Yelping looking for a good place to eat I came across this gem of a restaurant and so happy I did! I saw all the reviews and nothing but positives so I had to try it. Pulled up and got to the counter. The lady at the counter was helpful, nice, and just wanted me to feel welcome! I asked what would be the best burger since it was my first time. She said the classic burger is what they've known for so I had to try! Wow! This burger was bursting with flavor, had that slightly toasted bun, lettuce, pickles, tomatoes, must and mayo, bacon patty and pastrami and Swiss cheese! Yummmm!! I also ordered the fries that were cooked perfectly not oily and just right! This burger I can't stop talking about because it tasted homemade and with that flavor that can only come from a grill that's been used for years and has that old school taste to it! The burger was juicy and just done right! I highly recommend you stop here and have the burger yourself! With the sesame buns I like, this burger is a home run! If in the area, live close by, driving by or staying close by, you gotta try this place! You will not be disappointed!! I might have to drive from the Sacramento area again to come have this burger more often!

    My husband and I stopped by Classic Burger in San Lorenzo on a Saturday at 1:15 PM. When we walked in, there were only three other people, so we weren't sure if it was going to be good since it wasn't packed. But soon after we placed our order and sat down, the place quickly filled up -- a good sign! From the moment we walked in, I was pleased to notice there was NO overpowering cleaner smell--my pet peeve--and the place was clean, cool, and welcoming. The staff was friendly and attentive, which made our experience even better. I really appreciated that we could see the food being cooked -- it's always reassuring to see freshness and cleanliness in the kitchen. We split a double cheeseburger and fries, and the food was delivered by a staff member piping hot, which was perfect. The burger was fantastic! I could taste the char of the grill, and the meat was nice and thick and meaty. The lettuce, tomato, and grilled onions added the perfect touch of flavor. The fries were hot and fresh, and the bun was just right -- soft, not too thick or bready, with sesame seeds that I love. Everything felt cozy and inviting -- a great spot to hang out and enjoy great-tasting, hot, fresh food. We'll definitely be back. Thanks for a fantastic quick meal!

    Double cheeseburger, mushroom burger, fries, onion rings

    I was craving a bigass burger, and this place definitely hit the spot. Exactly the kind of char-grilled taste I was looking for. The place is pretty unassuming from the outside, but definitely worth stopping by for a classic diner-style burger. Service was fairly quick given that I had to wait a little for my burger, but it was made to order. Would definitely come back when I'm in town again!

    Touching food with bare unwashed hands

    I was going to order, but I witnessed this man using his bare unwashed hand grabbing onion rings and putting them into the fryer. Then he proceeds to ring someone up and go back to using his unwashed hands to handle food! He needs to learn how to properly handle food!

    Bacon cheeseburger and mushroom burger

    Was craving a burger, so we decided to try Classic Burger... and boy it did not disappoint!! We got the bacon cheeseburger and mushroom cheeseburger, fries and onion rings and 2 shakes. Everything was a 10/10!! The burger size was a great size (wayyyy bigger than a lot of other places) and for a great price. The patty was thick and juicy. Perfect amount of sauce and the bun held up. We inhaled our burgers and already looking forward for the next time we come back.

I remembered they have a happy hour deal from 2 PM to 5 PM for $9.95, which is a really good value. When I went in, there were a lot of employees working, but it took a while for someone to acknowledge me even though I was the only customer. Some were wiping tables, others were in the kitchen, and a few looked at me, but no one said hello or even that someone would be right with me. That kind of acknowledgment would have gone a long way. I eventually realized they wanted customers to order through the touchscreen kiosks. Even so, it would have been nice if someone had said something instead of leaving me to figure it out on my own. I ordered a spicy teriyaki bowl. There is no note section on the screen, so after placing my order I asked if they could make my chicken extra crispy or charred. Based on Yelp photos, the chicken usually does not have much char, which I prefer for both flavor and appearance. When my food was ready, the woman who handed it to me was the only person who was genuinely nice. The napkins were out and she noticed and immediately offered to grab some for me, which I appreciated. When I got home and opened my bowl, the chicken still was not as charred as I had requested. There were only a few light grill marks. The biggest disappointment was the sauce. Even though they say it is made in house, it was missing something and lacked that umami depth. Honestly, it was one of the worst teriyaki sauces I have had. The rice and steamed vegetables were fine, but the chicken and sauce are the main focus of a teriyaki bowl, and that is where this really fell short. If you put a bowl from Teriyaki City Grill next to one from Teriyaki Madness, just by looks alone, Teriyaki Madness is much more appetizing. Because of the service and the food, I do not think I will be coming here again.

It looks really nice at night lit up. BUT.. what I don't appreciate is ordering and being asked by the staff (who I'm told are only following their bosses or managers orders) if I want a "regular sized" meal when in reality, they're asking you to upgrade to the larger size. When they say "regular", that doesn't mean the combo price you see on the menu. What is reflected in the menu size is actually a "small". On the menu my combo was $12.19 on the menu but after I stated "regular" on my order it suddenly changed to $12.99 on the screen, which is easy to miss if you're not paying attention. My review is 1.5 stars which I find to be a bad/sleezy bait and switch tactic which causes an almost $1 increase in price without you even knowing it. This is a shady business practice and very disingenuous for the business to do. Also I never received a receipt from this location which is probably how they get away with this. You've all been warned.

I called the number on the receipt and let them know that they had made a mistake and that I was heading back to correct it, and I would like my food remade. Upon arriving one of the young ladies there told my wife that the fries were eaten, and she was only given the sandwiches. Additionally, my wife understood what they were saying, and they called her a very bad word in Spanish that I can't list her due to yelp's policies. After 10 minutes of waiting while they were helping all of the drive-through people, my wife finally got the correct meal, but then when we got it home, you could see that it was not made correctly, but was overcooked and falling apart, almost as if they were just giving us what we wanted appease us, but didn't care how it was made. Unfortunately, I have to take this a step further and call Wendy's corporate number to let them know that the entire staff treated us unprofessionally. A note to Wendy's management if you're going to hire people, please let them know that the customer is always right and not make the customer feel penalized for their staffs mistakes.

This location is convenient, as it is right by the freeway. I go here at least once or twice a month and the last 5 visits has not been good experiences. My go to lately is their Chicken McNuggets or Filet-O-Fish with their fries and sweet tea. There is always a problem with the order from missing condiments to cold food to wrong food and other mistakes as well. The employees are not the best at fixing the problems they caused and sometimes it takes multiple employees to fix one simple problem. On my last visit, the employee took awhile to take my order (drive-thru), so I spoke up and he told me to give him a few more minutes, which I did. At this moment, another car in the other drive-thru lane literally just pulled up and started to order right away and I was confused of this unfair experience, but I let it go. I was eventually able to order - I even made a special request for unsalted fries. I paid and a few minutes later, my order was ready, which was confusing, as I made a special order, so I asked the employee at the second window. He said I have to order it if I want the unsalted fries, which I told him I did and it is rung up as so, but he still did not seem open to fix it, so I just took it as a L and left with my food. They did forget some condiments I asked for and the chicken nuggets were soggy as well. On my previous visit before that, the employee did take awhile to take our order and after we paid, we were told to pull up to the first spot for curbside pickup. They gave us part of order first, while we waited. We waited 10 minutes and no one came out, and my sundae was already melting. Another 5 minutes passed, so we had to go inside to check and the employee who helped us went on break - we waited another 5 minutes before anyone came to the counter and another 5 minutes to get the rest of our order. We were given an empty cone for our troubles, which did not really solve anything, as my ice cream was already melted.
