OK, I think this is my first post/review without pictures. This burger joint looks a little sketchy, hole on the wall. But my friend has spoke highly about the place so we tried it. And let me say I was not disappointed! Daniel was our cashier and he was a ray of sunshine, kept a smile on his face, incredibly nice and helpful. The burgers were delicious, prices were reasonable. We will definitely be back. My only complaint is the garbage situation by the front door. read more

Special thanks to this burger joint. I had a large order, and they went above and beyond by separating everything into individual bags with the contents labeled. That extra effort really makes a difference. Service matters, and I truly appreciate it. read more

I've lived in Fairfield for 8+ years and finally tried Dave's Giant Burgers... and I'm honestly confused why people hype this place up so much. The burger ($10 + $2 for bacon) was ridiculously greasy. It soaked through the paper bag and actually left grease stains on my leather seat after a 5-minute drive home. When I opened it, the burger was sitting in a pool of grease inside the wrapper. Taste? Completely average. Basic toppings, nothing special about the bun or patty--just bigger, not better. The caramel milkshake was also a letdown. It tasted like vanilla with caramel syrup sitting at the bottom instead of being blended. Definitely not what I expected. For a $20 meal, I'd much rather go to In-N-Out for better quality and value. Not terrible, but definitely not worth the hype--and I won't be back. read more

We were in the area and decided to come here. There's a small parking lot and street parking. The place is small but the service was great. There's a few tables inside and some outside. I like that the menu wasn't overwhelming. I ended up ordering a cheese burger and my son and husband got a hot dog. All the ingredients were fresh. My hamburger was very good. My son really enjoyed his hotdog we ended up ordering him a second one. It's affordable and delicious. We will definitely be returning. read more

Dave's Giant Hamburger - Dave's giant burger with two beef patties - Burgers Near Me - Fairfield, California

Came by on a Sunday at lunch with my boyfriend and there were a few people sitting inside (about 3 tables). We ordered to go and staff were friendly and quick. Place was clean and plenty of parking. The burgers were juicy, especially with the bacon! You can order how you want your meat cooked. I opted for the medium rare cheeseburger, with raw and grilled onions, no mustard, with bacon. They also offered pickles and jalapeños on the side. For about $12 for the burger (big and juicy), it was definitely worth. I just wish they were open for longer. My boyfriend ordered his meat cooked like ground beef, which is insanity, but he said the pickles were his favorite. No fries on the menu, but will try chili next time! The pumpkin spice and smores milkshakes are also pretty good - thick as well! Will be back! read more

My first time here and it was great. Craving a burger and got exactly that. A Great burger (and fries). A bit messy but that is NOT a bad thing. Will certainly come here again read more

Hubby and I had burgers and shakes. Even though the line was growing, take out was fast. Food delicious.

Got a cheeseburger and shake for I believe $13, i love that you can pretty much fully customize everything from toppings to how the burger is cooked. I personally love my meat well done, and this was perfectly juicy still. Not "burnt" or overly cooked type of well done. I came from Sacramento, and will fully return back. FYI: I came in and it was cash only. I was happy that I went to the atm, I think it was fully worth it. But just incase- bring cash. I think maybe the terminal was just down today, I do see they have a card payment screen. Great burger !!!!! It'd be great if they had chopped chili peppers as well. thought it was interesting there's no sides like fries or onion rings, but they do carry bags of chips. honestly i couldn't finish my burger anyways so maybe that's why lol they are very big. you don't need anything else with it read more

Fav burger place ANYWHERE! Forget In&Out, Five Guys, and the rest of them! My partner & I live in Hawaii now but every time we come back to visit family we come here straight from the airport & usually visit multiple times while we're in the area. They keep it simple but delicious, the burgers are HUGE, cooked to your preferred wellness, and customizable with things like bacon or grilled onions. They have a ton of shake flavors that you can combine too (my fav is chocolate coconut and partner likes chocolate mocha). They don't have fries, but there's tots or potato chips. I recommend eating in or at the outdoor tables because they're always best fresh read more

Dave's Giant Hamburger - Burgers Near Me - Fairfield, California

This is very much like a local burger place in my hometown. They will make you a burger and ask you how you want it cooked. The music in the background is old school which I love. They keep it simple but just so you know they don't serve fries but do have chili and chips and they make milkshakes made to order. read more

Still the best cheeseburger in the world for me. And I've eaten a lot. Hasn't changed in 50 years.

I hadn't been to Dave's in a long time. I had heard that the new owners changed things but didn't realize how much. Cheaper ingredients being used (cheese is horrible) might as well go to Mc Donald's and save some money. read more

I was passing Fairfield and saw Dave's on the side of the road. I whipped a UE bc I love burgers. Did not disappoint. The kids working there were friendly and had quick service. Clean inside and just what you would imagine a drive up burger place would look like. Try it!! read more

Sorry Dave , the kids running this place X the loud and vulgar way they staff carried on with each other . WAY to small For all that . They forgot they are there to serve not jibber jabber about what happened last nights shindig. Epic fail read more

Been coming here after church for 2 decades, always got their classic burger with grilled onions since I was young (now I add bacon). Great fast service and guaranteed delicious juicy burger for a good price. The shop itself is old school, maintains the nostalgia, during the summer grab a burger and sit outside, soak in simplicity of a good burger read more

So I had the civic duty of jury duty last week and was craving a burger along the lines of my hometown go to (Bud's) this piqued my interest in review and the fact that they had milkshakes sealed the deal. I pulled in to the parking lot settled up against armijo highs fence. I walk in and the dude behind the counter greeted and took my order! Cheeseburger.... "Raw or grilled onions?" Uhhhh both? Done Strawberry milkshake! Boom done. Wait was about 10 minutes which was solid af at 12:20 on a weekday afternoon. Nitty gritty. Burger -3.75/5 the Mayo was a touch sweet for me but I absolutely crushed it! Shake - 4/5 the only thing that would have made this a 5 is solid strawberries in the shake. Overall, I absolutely will go again and love that a place like this is still around! read more

Very good burgers! Great service! 10/10! Brought my guys here and we all loved it. Good job Dave's giant Hamburger! read more

I've lived in this area for 23 of the past 30 years. Dave's was a known institution well before I got here. Oddly enough, though, I'd probably only visited it three times before last week. I don't remember it tickling my fancy. After having a burger earlier in the week somewhere else, I decided to give Dave's another go. It was absolutely delicious. Got a Double Bacon Cheese with lettuce, tomato, and raw onion. They offer grilled onions as well, but I prefer a crunchy raw. Burger was cooked to perfection, and all the ingredients combined perfectly. I also got a malt milkshake and could believe how good that was as well. Good enough to visit just for a shake. Either way, I'm happy that I went back, and my only disappointment is not going more often over the years. Can't wait to return again! read more

Burgers are really good my favorite place in town, customer service it's ok not always friendly and today wasn't a good day , they close at 4 PM so purchased my burger at 3 40 pm I sat as I waited but they literally quick me to eat out when it was only 3 47 pm ,so I lost my chance to refill my drink also I felt kind of wired , I would to love to be told during my purchase or if they really want to close business at 4 pm exactly maybe have a sign that let clients that they have to eat outside if the purchase burgers right before closing time , or maybe do drive thru only after 3 30 pm , it's only a suggestion and my thoughts as a regular client read more

Dave's Giant Hamburger - Double cheese Burger - Burgers Near Me - Fairfield, California

Very small location that gets lots of customers during the lunch hour. You get to see your meal cooked right in front of you as you mesmerize over their large variety of shakes menu and smell the grilled onions getting a glaze before going on your burger of choice. You can get a regular burger, cheese burger or chilli cheeseburger. Some burgers are served open facet depending on what gets put on them. The grilled cheese is made on a round style of bread and their tots are cooked to a nice little crunch. Everything was just a perfect amount of portions and a good consistency on their shakes. Good spot to take the family or team for a good ole bite to eat. Be sure to come hungry! read more

The food is always really good but the service today was eh'. We ordered a couple cheeseburgers and wanted to order some tots and the machine was broke. Probably should put up a sign to let people know...disappointing visit. read more

Who's craving a juicy burger and a milkshake? If you're from Vallejo and familiar with Bud's, I recommend trying out Dave's in Fairfield! It has that same local burger joint vibe. The only difference? Dave's doesn't offer fries! *insert sad emoji* but you know what, that's okay. They do have tater tots though. Ok let's talk burger. I've gone twice and both times have not disappointed me. The burger can be messy but that's because of how saucy and juicy it is! Both time, Dario O. and I ordered a cheese burger with bacon, add grilled onions. The patty was seasoned just right. Not too salty, very flavorful. You even have a choice of how you want the meat cooked. Adding the bacon will be the best decision you ever make here when dining here, trust. Another thing you should do is order an extra patty! We haven't tried their tots yet, so I have nothing to say about that lol As for their shakes, I did try their pumpkin spice (this is probably a season one). The shake was thick but not overly thick where you have to wait a few mins to drink it. Whoever made the shake, knew what they were doing because it really tasted like pumpkin spice! So if you're a PS person + a milkshake person, please get this before this season is over! Location: They have a pretty good space for parking. There's a few seats inside and a nice outdoor area with a sink to wash your hands after, cos you're gonna need to lol Service: Good service. They have a good system to make sure all orders are taken and made in a timely matter. Lastly, they close early so keep an eye out on their hours. I suggest calling before going there because the accuracy of their store hours online might not be true. Overall, Dave's is one of my new fave Fairfield, CA eats! I'll be back here soon! read more

The burger was good. I just need French fries. Chips are for hotdogs. The restaurant was clean pretty friendly staff. I would probably rate them higher if they served fries. read more

We have been coming here fir a few years and usually the food and service are great. Today was different. I asked for my burger well done and when I got home it was still a little pink. But I can deal with that. They were out of tator tots and the woman taking our order was rude as can be. Like she didn't want us there. Maybe she was having a bad day but you shouldnt take it out on your customers. We just got a bad vibe being in there. We probably wont be back. read more

If I could give more stars I would in a heartbeat. A friend brought me after we picked up their car. They grew up in the area. Asked me if I wanted to try the best hamburgers in NorCal. Might big talk...well- Dave's Giant Hamburger backed it up with great service and burgers. Very simple menu and even simpler way to place an order. The decor reminds me of the old burger joints of the past. The burgers were actually burgers and not the thin-meat kind you get at In & Out, etc. The cheese tater-tots were incredibly fresh and cheesy. The Chocolate shake was creamy and delicious. If you are a dog owner, they will cook a patty for your dog and chop it up for them. Incredible service! Don't take my word for it...one bite into their burgers and you will be convinced! read more

Dave's has been my go-to spot for a delicious giant cheeseburger since 1989, my freshman year at the local high school next door. Friendly, professional service every time and juicy tasty burgers cooked to order and assembled the exact way I like them, (cheeseburger, raw onion, medium cook, everything else standard). I also appreciate the occasional encouragement to try a flavor of milkshake besides vanilla. I've literally been there hundreds of times over the past three decades now, and it's still the gold standard for tasty perfectly-balanced burgers and a friendly atmosphere whenever I'm in town. When in Fairfield, try Dave's for yourself! read more

These people work hard. They're busy and the burgers may take some time but it's all worth it. Fairfield is lucky to have a nice little local burger joint that beats the typical fast food places. Burgers are built very neatly no matter what your add ons are. They hit every time. Shakes are a must and tater tots with chili cheese completes the whole meal. Never disappointed. read more

I want to start this with, This place was one of my favorite burger spots in Fairfield up till my experience today. That being said The day prior I spent about 17 dollars on a double cheeseburger with pickles and bacon while slightly pricy the burgers are usually great. When placing the order I instructed the burger to be cooked well done. All was well till I got home and took a single bite of my burger and realized it was under cook still very pink and while others may enjoy their burgers with pink I do not being why I asked for well done. So I proceeded to drive back not knowing when I arrived back they would be closed. So the next day I returned with receipt in hand and the uneaten burger. I was greeted promptly and while trying to explain the reason for my return she immediately just asked me what I wanted to fix the mistake but I was not able to relay to her the issue for the return in the first place, but that is neither here nor there. As I was waiting for my burger to get done I was the only person in the restaurant at the time. My burger at this point had been cooking for a few minutes and a couple proceeds to walk in and at this time I was standing at the counter watching my burger being cooked. The young man making the burgers then smacked 2 more patties on the grill in returned splattering my cooked patties with raw burger juice on top of that when he proceeded to smack the second burger on the grill he had to remove the wax paper that separated the raw burger patties which then dragged across the cheese on my cooked patty, so I asked not trying to make a big deal that he just scrape the cheese off of my patty so I can avoid any contamination illness at this point I was a little bothered but not enough to not want my food. However at this point the lady who originally helped me when I walked in ask the young boy why he scraped the cheese off my patty and couldn't give her a reason other then I don't recall doing what she stated I did, Then another gentlemen walked in to place an order and boy ooh boy if this kid didn't smack another juicy raw patty on the grill next to mine making raw burger juice splash all over my now overly cooked patties, so at this point I was utterly disgusted mind you I NOT ONCE SEEN THIS KID CHANGE HIS GLOVES WHILE HANDELING RAW MEAT THEN proceeding to touch HAMBURGER BUNS AND THE LETTUS, ONIONS and TOMATOS Not once. So at this point contamination of raw burger is everywhere and I just want my money back. I asked to speak to the lady who had originally greeted me upon arrival and told her I wish to talk to her quietly as to not make a huge fuss but express my concern about everything I witnessed When I mentioned the gloves not being changed behind touching raw meat she basically said it wasn't requirement and that he should have washed his hands and I was like well he would have had to remove his gloves to do that and she said actually no..... I was basically told not to come back because she thinks they cant meet my standards of food preparation...... I was appalled because I love this place at this point I was given a refund and left but was really concerned about her not concerned for food safety in the establishment. To ask a customer not to come back rather then realizing a risky problem is crazy and reckless. read more
