We got to try their single patty and double patty & saucy fries. I love that you can watch them make your burger at the window. They definitely use fresh ingredients in their burgers and their sauce really elevates the burger. The fries were great by itself but even better with their sauce. It gives me thousand island vibes~ They were pretty busy when we went which was at 5:30pm, despite that we didn't have to wait to long for our food! They have an outdoor and indoor seating which is nice. Their interior is cool, love how the floor and walls are plaster with red/white colors. Def a vibe read more

The burger and fries were so good I didn't stop to take a photo. 5 star food and 4 stars for the service as it took a looong time. Even when busy, you just don't expect such a long wait for smashburgers. A juicy burger patty with those crispy edges. Soft, slightly sweet buns. Crispy, well-seasoned fries. A really good burger sauce. What more could you ask for? Oh, and the price. It's priced very competitively. So many smashburger places in LA are around $20 for a combo and Dough Burger is more similar to prices you'd pay at In-N-Out, but twice as good. I'd definitely come back next time I'm in the area read more

IMO this place is one of the top tier smash burger spots in San Jose. It's open late and has entertainment like basketball and hackey sack that you can play while you wait for the food. Phenomenal ambiance as they're also blasting some jams over the speakers in the dining area. The burger itself is a typical smash burger. Nothing too crazy. I actually don't prefer smash burgers, but this was pretty good. I like how you can add halal bacon. Looking back. It's comparable to sixth street burger.

We are talking about the best smash burger in San Jose imo right now . The food has been extraordinary for now over a years worth of visits and consistent enough to me for I to rave about it . I always go double smash with the default toppings set for it . The smash fries are really something tho. Hot and well salted fries crispy loaded with cheese , their burger sauce , and pickles / meat patty. Really something else . I Will continue to be a frequenter here lol . Tip : ordering from kiosks there are very straight forward and easy.the associates and staff are very sweet and there is a bathroom that is tidy and well Maintained, just ask for code ! read more

Dough Burger is a cool spot that offers smash burgers, french fries, soda, floats, and milkshakes. They are located in a tiny stripmall off N. First Street, close to Chevron Gas, Starbucks, Slice Pizza, etc. The parking is challenging during peak hours. They are open until 1:30am most days and 3am on Fridays and Saturdays. The ambience is lively with house music. Inside and outside seating available. The decor inside is pretty cool. They also sell some of their brand merchandise. One unisex restroom with code. Order via two kiosks and/or cashier. Combo with Smash Burger, French fries, and fountain drink. The burger was pretty tasty and the sauce was close or similar to Red Robin's Campfire Sauce. Support your local business. read more

I had really high hopes for this place after seeing a couple videos of them going viral on TikTok and we were craving a hearty smash burger, so we decided to give it a try. We placed an order inside at 6:50 and didn't get the order until 7:35. What made it even more confusing was that they don't call your name out or anything they just place it on the counter. There was also a customer that had ordered at 6:15 and he said that they forgot to even put his order in. We ordered two double smashburgers with chopped chilies and an order of saucy fries. After waiting that long you would think that the fries were going to be fresh and piping hot, but they were unfortunately so cold and hard. The smashburgers themselves were alright, the whole order came with one sauce on the side and I feel like it saved the burger because without it was pretty dry. Overall, the long wait, bad service and mediocre food was really disappointing and not worth it. read more

Dough Burger - Double patty - Burgers Near Me - San Jose, California

Had a late night flight into the San Jose airport, so as one of the few late night places in the Bay Area, this was a must stop for some night time bites. They even advertise on their neon light sign that they're open late. Super close to the airport too and located near the hotels if you need a reference. The parking lot is connected to some other plazas, so finding parking isn't too hard. There's indoor and outdoor seating and tables but with how popular it is, even at later night hours, finding seating can be difficult, so make sure you snipe a table when possible. Ordering is through a kiosk near the front and they have some of their merch on sale as well. Giant lab observation style windows so you can watch the workers prepare your halal burgers too. For our late night meal, we got the: 1) Triple Burger: -3 halal beef patties triple stacked with cheese, onions, pickles and lots of sauce, all in a brioche bun. They angle it so the meat comes out diagonally from the bun, so it looks good for pictures, but to make sure it doesn't get everywhere, shove everything back in. We got this with extra onions, giving it a stronger bite. -Definitely a nice juicy burger and the sauce has a bit of sweetness to it, so it's not the same as what I'd expected (In-n-Out's thousand island sauce). Something about it reminds me of the White Castle-esque sliders I had as a child, so it's a yummy nostalgic taste. 2) Fries: -Comes with a side of the sauces as well and lightly seasoned. Thin style fries. Not the crispiest and slight styrofoamy from the get go. I'm usually a fries enjoyer, but this was a miss for me and couldn't finish it. I think I'll skip out on the fries next time. 3) Root Beer Float: -This came out the last and it's literally a can of A&W root beer and a cup with 2 scoops of vanilla ice cream. Get it if you're craving it, but if it's not the fresh from the fountain kind, I don't think I'll get it again since I can kind of make this at home, especially since the cost is around that of getting a double burger. Overall not a bad fast food spot. read more

I remembered supporting Dough Burger back when it was a food truck in the middle of nowhere, on Old Bayshore Highway. Seeing Dough Burger with an actual storefront felt like seeing your favorite comic book hero come to life on the big screen. Dough Burger always had this drive in the back of their mind, and it's incredible to see that determination pay off so tangibly. The best part about Dough Burger is its simplicity and affordability, especially if you stick to the default configuration. Add-ons can elevate the experience, but they do add up, with most toppings priced at 75 cents each. My go-to is the Double Smashburger ($6) and the Smash Fries with raw onions ($6). Some people compare the sauce used on the food to Cane's sauce, but I compare it more to Red Robin's Campfire Sauce in that the flavor is more BBQ-forward. The food will stain your hands and knock you out with a serious greasy punch, but it also leaves you satisfied and ready for the night ahead. Speaking of which, Dough Burger opens really late. I mean, REALLY late. It opens until 1:30AM on most nights, and 3AM on Fridays and Saturdays. The part that keeps Dough Burger from scoring higher is consistency. I usually come on weekday evenings and notice the fries are hit or miss, often leaning toward the latter. When fresh, they're some of the best fries around the San Jose area. When stale, they can hurt your teeth and jaw. We were just talking about affordability, so we cannot afford to spend more money on a dentist cleaning. Occasionally, the staff will miss a sauce on the side or skip the raw onions. It's not always the case, but still enough to note in this review. Oh, and the music can get loud at times, but you can always sit outside and watch the cars pass by at the N First St and Technology Pl intersection. Great burger fix for those who are passing by. Just wish the food itself wasn't such a gamble on quality. read more

Burgers here are great! I got the triple with bacon. Food here is halal if you care. Sort of gives me shake shack flavor and texture vibes in a way. Delicious. Fries and not soggy. I remember prices being around 5.99 for a double burger and 6-7 for a triple. Great prices for today! read more

Dough Burger - Burgers Near Me - San Jose, California

Dough Burgerrrrrr!!! Words cannot explain how much of a gem this place is. First of all, I LOVE that this place is open so late, considering surrounding businesses close so early, which being in close proximity to downtown, doesn't really make any sense, but I digress. This is a really solid place to go to after a night out. Did I mention it's halal? Service was quick just as you would expect from a burger joint. What I also appreciate is that it isn't a millennial burger place that charge an arm and a leg for everything they can. It's no frills, you get exactly what you want. Everything was fresh as hell. Ordering can be done through the kiosk or with the cashier. The only downside I would say is the lighting of the place. To me, it was very sterile like a hospital. Just a lil more ambient lighting and they're quite literally perfect. Go to Dough Burger and show them some love. NOW! read more

Dough Burger - Double Burger and Fries - Burgers Near Me - San Jose, California

Dough Burger has become widely popular Smash burger Joint on social Media for a while. From the video and pictures; it definitely looked appealing. But, I was a bit apprehensive;as I feel places that have heavy influencer presence aren't really good recommendations a lot of times. However, this place caught me by surprise. I was debating on having the pizza spot next door, but decided to finally try Dough Burger out instead. Everytime I pass by this place is packed; it's nice it stays open until 3AM. So it's nice to have other burger joint open instead of jack In The Box lol I placed an online order everything here is A La Carte but you can make your meal a combo. What's great about this place is the prices are affordable. I decided to get single smash burger and make it a meal that comes with drink. Single smash burger: 5/5 Very good smash burger and everything is made to order here. The patty was flavorful and not paper thin like some smash burger joints make them. The burger itself only comes with pickle, cheese, onions, and their special sauce. Any add ons come at additional cost. Although, mine didn't have any onions on it. I decided to add lettuce, tomato, and there Halal Bacon to mine. The burger itself was on the smaller side. In pics these burgers look huge but they're not. Since I got the combo it came with side of regular fries that were good and nicely slated, and I had fountain drink. The total for the single Smash Burger Combo came out to 14 bucks even which is better then these fast food prices and below average quality lol Overall, this is a Great Spot if you're looking for a good burger in the area. Especially, if you're looking for food late night. I would definitely recommend this place. read more

So simple, yet so delicious and halal too! Dough Burgers has easily become one of my favorite spots for smash burgers. I love how the menu is straightforward, but every item is done really well. It reminds me of Japanese-style simplicity where the focus is on quality, balance, and letting the flavors speak for themselves. Nothing overcomplicated, just really good food done right. I also love their story. They started as a food truck and have now grown into a brick-and-mortar restaurant, which is amazing to see. I'm genuinely so happy for them and love supporting a business that's clearly growing because people really love their food. They currently have one location, and it's always super busy, so just be aware there may be a wait! I ordered both the Double Dough Burger and the Triple Dough Burger, and both were amazing. The patties were juicy and flavorful, the cheese melted perfectly, and the grilled onions, pickles, and signature sauce tied everything together. The brioche bun was soft and held everything without falling apart, which I really appreciated. The Smash Fries were also a standout. Crispy fries loaded with savory meat, pickles, and their sauce. Their sauce is seriously addictive and adds so much flavor! To top it off, I had a root beer float and a vanilla shake, which were both creamy and a great way to finish the meal. One small note for awareness: there is only one shared restroom, and I do wish there was better ventilation. If you're seated nearby, it can be a bit uncomfortable after someone uses it. Cleanliness and airflow in that area would definitely make the dining experience even better. Overall, this is still a spot I really enjoy and will continue to support. If you're craving a simple, high-quality smash burger with bold flavor, Dough Burgers is absolutely worth checking out! read more

This place is pretty good and reasonably cheap. However, just remember that a "combo" doesn't come with a drink so it's misleading. The burger is well seasoned and it taste fresh and delicious. The burger is overloaded with pickles and the secret sauce blends in well. 4.7/5 The fries were crunchy but under seasoned. 3/5. Overall I would come back here. read more

I ordered the single smash burger with lettuce along with Saucy Fries and it was easily one of the best smash burgers I have had in a long time. My only regret was that I did not order a double due to how small a single was. The fries themselves were basic but the sauce did make them stand out. The shop has a great vibe. You can see the staff preparing multiple patties in the back keeps the food moving and the wait time short. The music is also great for when you are eating indoors. I enjoyed it so much that I told my co-workers I will be taking them back here. In fact, I plan to try their shakes as well! read more

Had a nice time trying the dough burger right after a long flight. It's conveniently situated next to SJ airport so was a welcome return meal. Their online ordering system was quick and the food was ready for us when we drove over. The burgers were pretty standard but I love that they're halal! I'll be back if I'm ever in the area again! read more

One of the best smash burgers I have had in a while. The burger is sauced up and the patty is juicy and soft. The flavor is really good and simple. Fries are solid but nothing without all the sauce and extras. This place is also halal friendly! The parking lot is a bit small and shaped interestingly and can def difficult during peak hours for the plaza. However, they have some seats inside and outside. Outside can get a little noisy since it is right next to a busy street. I honestly liked the burgers when they had their food truck more than the store now but it's all still good burgers. read more

Dough Burger is doing smash burgers right. The burger itself is easily a 5. Crispy edges, juicy in the middle, and really well balanced. The halal bacon is a great touch and adds a lot of flavor. I also tried the root beer float and it was actually really good, nice and classic. Only reason this isn't a full 5 stars is the fries. They were pretty underwhelming and honestly I wouldn't order them again. Luckily the burger is the star here and totally worth going back for. If you're craving a legit smash burger, this spot definitely delivers. read more

Dough Burger - Triple Cheeseburger. - Burgers Near Me - San Jose, California

It was my second time here. The sauce that they use is so addicting. Fast and higher quality burgers than your usual fast food joint. If I'm craving a burger, I may gravitate towards to Dough Burgers if I didn't want to wait in the In N Out line. The first bite of the smash burger really hit the spot. Although this place doesn't have the tomatoes and lettuce, it does have pickles!! Menu is so simple but sometimes simple is best. Better for consistency. I ordered the triple and I can't believe it is $6.99/ea. a double is $5.99/ea. Wow for the price it's definitely a filling and satisfying meal. Fries were just ok. I liked their milkshakes. Def check it out! read more

After the Levi's Stadium game, I stopped at Dough Burger because they were open late. The place was packed, but the line moved quickly. The staff kept things organized and the space was clean. I ordered a triple burger. The bun, the patty, the seasoning, everything worked. The fries were crispy and fresh. And the price is right. The price is right. The price is right.

UPDATE: FOR STOREFRONT This place is still one of the best cheapest late night burger spots in the bay area. With their store near SJO airport, I would say this place got better in speed. Merchandise to buy now by the door. Saw it going for $20 for hats. Quality of the food here is still the same and the sauce is good. Everything is hot, and accurate order. Same burgers and fries from their food truck days. They just added a soda machine now. They have plenty of seating inside and available outdoor seating. They play modern music here. The theme all the way to the seating is red and white. Very 49ers fans friendly. I recommend coming here. Easy late night bites after gambling. Always coming back. read more

spend your dough at dough burger, you won't regret it!! you won't be able to find delicious, smash burgers for this amazing price in the bay. It's also halal which is a plus, it just felt so clean eating this burger. Add banana peppers in your burger and get sauce on the side, that's the way to go The sauce was soooo good, if you're afraid of it being messy, get it on the side! Fries were also perfectly crispy and seasoned. I think the perfect medium is getting the double pattie, the meat is not as thick since it's smashed because I absolutely inhaled my single burger wishing I got the double. I got fries and 2 burgers for less than $20! I must say... better than in-n-out! you can also order online to skip the line read more

Ordered via kiosk for TO-GO. Simple menu, reminds me of in & out. I ordered with sauce on side & got 2 containers which was nice so I can dip fries in it. The sauce is standard Mayo, pickle juice. Got the single & fries for less than $10. Patty is a big small & a burger bun, nothing fancy. Price is good for the value. I'll come back to dine-in with sauce slathered on and a double patty. read more

Dough Burger - Single w/fries - Burgers Near Me - San Jose, California

Came during the night for a dinner meal. Parking is pretty sparse but we managed to find a spot. Area kind of looks filthy for some reason. But if I were to need a meal after midnight, this would be a better option then Jack. Got the combo burger with fries and a drink. The girl behind the counter didn't seem to be interested in anything other then her phone and could care less about customer service. The burgers were served cold, not sure, but it tasted like they were cooked before we ordered. The sauce is a mayo with something in it to make it look orange, otherwise tasteless. I would get concentrated pieces of herb seasoning in the burger like someone didn't want to mix the spices. Not the best burger experience in the area. I would probably go somewhere else for a burger. read more

Was feeling burger today and Dough Burger was close to work. Make sure get there early or you won't find parking. We went for the single cheese burger with pickle, lettuce tomato and chop chili. You can also add lettuce tomato and chop . And for fee bacon. Did I mention this is hala. We went for two single cheeseburgers with tomato lettuce and chili. It the new thing is smash burgers so this what it is. I should have made it a double as it was cheap enough as the burger are smash flat. We also shared a small fries which are shoestring size it was more than enough for two people.. overall ok for the price and would go back when having the crazing read more

Very disappointed. Went on a Saturday night and there were a few groups so I thought it was a good sign. They had a huge window in the front where you can see them smashing patties. The cook made an assembly line of about 10 burgers and smashed them one by one. I got the 3x3 and their fries. When I took my first bite I just tasted soggy beef and their were no improvement in subsequent bites. No crust or smash at all. Pretty ridiculous to be a smash burger place and have no "smash". Plenty of other good burger places to give it another try unless everything is closed. read more

It's pretty good. The service was alright we had to wait a little bit to get our food. The fries portion was quite lacking for the combo too compared to ordering on the side. The burger was pretty solid though. It definitely has that classic burger joint place feel to it too. read more

They used to be a food truck and finally they got themselves their own place. It's quite packed and hot here since there's no AC. It just recently opened and it's no surprise that they don't have much right now. There's not much seatings here probably because I arrived during peak hours. Anyways, I am disappointed with the food here. The only thing good about it is the milkshake. The burger tastes bland. the fries are quite thin and probably better than the burger. Perhaps I could have gotten the double smash patty since it's way smaller than the bun. They also do accept cash but keep in mind that you won't be able to get the exact change because they don't have much coins. If that's no issue to you, then you can use cash. Otherwise, stick to non-cash payments. read more

Burgers are great, definitely the star of the show. Very tender and tasty especially with the included sauce.

Dough Burgers has bomb burgers, a simple menu, and amazing customer service! My husband just finished a marathon, and I wanted to treat him to a spot he's been wanting to try. This place did not disappoint. The inside was super cute with red décor, and everything was extremely clean--including the bathrooms, which I always appreciate. The only downside: after using the restroom, I noticed the hand soap dispenser was completely missing. Soap is a must--please get that replaced ASAP. Other than that, the burgers were juicy and full of flavor, service was fast, and there was plenty of dine-in space. We'll definitely be back! read more

Underrated! Well maybe properly rated but less than 300 reviews doesn't feel like enough. Honestly I stayed away from this place for a while because I always just assumed it was some food truck that sold burgers with donut buns. I finally tried it recently after seeing some videos on YouTube and realizing how close and convenient it actually was. Ordered 2 doubles, a normal fry, and a smash fry, all for $24. The price feels perfect for what you're getting. Not sure what's included in the Saucy fries, but for only $1 more, you get a beef patty added to the fries, sounds worth! The burger was delicious. The bun was extremely soft and the sauce was nice, a little sweet. The patty was a little extra beefy compared to In n Out. Honestly I think it's because the 2x2 at In n out kinda gets overpowered by cheese. I think this place is super solid, same price as In n Out, and virutally no wait. I'm definitely going to be back when I'm craving burgers. I don't want to wait 30+ minutes for In n Out. read more

Love how simple the menu is. The potato bun is yummy. It's smash style patties. My only recommendation is to add some type of spice to their sauce for us that like the kick. Love the marble floor. They're open late. Located by the chevron and Starbucks on first st near M8trix Must try! read more
