The first time I tried this chain I had the single doughburger with added chopped chilies, and the ratio was so off. Way too much acidity from all the pickles and chilies and not enough meat to bread. This time however I tried the double and triple with no added toppings. The double was perfect! Cheesy, saucy, juicy without sogging up the bread, and the pickles complimented the burger rather than overpower it. The triple was quite tasty as well but just too heavy for my liking. The smash fries were delicious too, but wish it had more meat. I also tried their dough babies and shakes. We got the neopolitan and cookies and cream shakes, both of which were thick and tasted just like drinkable ice cream. The dough babies were stuffed with chocolate; too sweet for me. They are always quick with orders. Workers were nice and attentive when you ask for something at the counter. The walls at this spot are all plastered with their logo. Overall: 4/5 read more

Smackable!!! Located near SJC, Dough Burger is dishing out superb burgers at great prices. While on a recent visit to SJC I had the opportunity to visit Dough Burger not once but twice. Packed with flavors their smash burger is cooked fresh and seasoned to perfection. As a burger guy, I'm a stickler for fries that complement my sandwich and theirs were on par. Not to mention the house sauce is a nice addition to your burger or with the fries. On a second visit, I added a hand spun strawberry vanilla milkshake FUEGO!! Definitely a spot to try. It doesn't give mainstream at all and is located near hotels in the near the airport for travelers like myself. Dough Burger should corner the airport market. Shout out to the server who gave me the run down on combinations. " Chill spot worth a try! read more

I went in after a concert with my friends since it was one of the few places open past midnight. We were debating between in n out and here but decided to go here to try something new. The food took a while, which was surprising since it was late and it wasn't too crowded. Usually during the day, there's a longer wait but I'm guessing it's due to how long the burgers take to cook up. It was $13 something for a burger with bacon and fries. I think it's a bit pricier than I'd want and they used to have free onions but now they charge for all toppings. Because of that I docked a star off but these are halal burgers and I recommend trying at least once read more

Dough Burger - Burgers Near Me - San Jose, California

I watched a YouTube video on this place and it looked so good that I had to put it on the top of my list. Walking in my eyes immediately started darting around.... They had really cool merch under glass, a big screen flashing cool pictures "see video", really cool signage, and overall it kind of had a 50's burger joint vibe but with a cool modern twist. They have a kiosk that you can order with, but I decided to order at the counter. The girl that helped us out was super nice too. We ordered a triple cheeseburger add grilled onion, 3 double cheeseburgers, 2 fries and 2 shakes. ($54.60!!!) The rundown: Fries are fried in tallow and the taste is amazing! "My one complaint is that they skimp on the amount they give you" taste 5 stars/ quantity 2 stars. "Note" I tried a side of their burger sauce with the fries... ummm... no, don't do it, stay away, do not pass go! "It does however, pair really well with the Berger" The burgers: look inexpensive until you put add ons "grilled onions $.75 extra." The burger gets expensive really quick and a triple cheeseburger is about the size of a regular burger. The taste was really good though especially with their house sauce but unfortunately the burger left me hungry. Taste 4 stars/ amount and value 2 stars tops. Milkshakes: Now if you are coming here for the milkshakes then you will be very very happy! The shakes are straight up delicious, home style shakes made to perfection. IMO the price, quality, and taste...5 stars all day long. Notes: Service is slow considering they were not to busy . The bathroom was disgusting! There was water all over the floor and a urinal stuck really bad, that didn't look like it had not been cleaned all day! Remember folks with employees are using this bathroom too and serving us food. 0 stars! read more

Hands down better than in&out. Everything we ordered was amazing! Their burgers were good!! Cooked to perfection. Sauce, addicting with their fries!!!! I honestly love the fries on their own too. The dough bites were filled with chocolate / nutella? I wouldn't mind if they didn't have filling and just the powdered sugar on top. The price was good. Order at kiosk and they announce your order through the speakers which is great so you really know when it's ready They have seating both indoor and outdoor Parking in a shared plaza Place was bright and clean. Would go again and would love to try their milkshakes next time. read more

Super yummy smash burgers, I got the double which I personally think has a better meat to bread ratio compared to a single. The meal is worth it for its cheap price, which could be compared to In N Out. You can order online which makes it super easy and quick to pick up and go. However sometime through online order they have forgotten some items, so make sure to double check before you leave. Overall good and I have been back multiple times! read more

Dough Burger - DOUBLE DOUGHBURGER, FRENCH FRIES - Burgers Near Me - San Jose, California

3.5 the burger was good and the fries were good... Nothing special. There was a pretty long wait at lunch. You order through the electronic kiosk. I got a single, it was pretty small, but since they gave so many fries, I wasn't hungry. I was disappointed that the meat patty was so small that you couldn't see it unless you lifted up the bun. I really like the bun because it was extra soft. They charge extra for lettuce or tomatoes, which I don't think I've seen before. They have 5 to 10 tables inside and 5 to 8 tables outside. It was pretty popular. There is lots of parking. read more

The service here is so slow. The staff are constantly talking to each other and they stop what they're doing when they talk to each other. Like hello, you're on the clock at work, save the conversations for later when it's not busy. One lady took 15 minutes to make a milkshake because she kept talking to one the her other male coworkers and each time they were talking she would stop scooping the ice cream and place the cup down. Besides the awful service, food was good. Got a double and a triple and the double is the perfect balance with all the ingredients and still being juicy. Triple was just too much meat and not enough add-ons. read more

I was pleasantly surprised by how good Dough Burger was. We ordered the SINGLE DOUGHBURGER COMBO w/ Fries and a Drink and DOUGH BABIES. The burgers were juicy and flavorful. Unfortunately the fries were soggy but the price was right. The dough babies were very good. I'll definitely be back when I'm craving a good burger. read more

I just thought the food was alright. The burger looked good on the outside and it looked like there was a lot of meat but it was front-loaded. There also wasn't that much sauce either, which was disappointing. I also got the fries which were also kind of disappointing. They were crispy but didn't really taste like anything. It had salt and pepper but that was it. The food is good value but it's okay. read more

Dough Burger - Burgers Near Me - San Jose, California

I want to give this place another chance because I was unfamiliar with smashed burgers at the time. People were really hyped about this place and so I want to come here again. I was told that it's recommended to eat smashed burgers with at least two patties for a good bun to meat ratio. When I first came here, I ordered it with a single patty and now I see why I tasted too much from the bun than the meat. In my second visit, I do see not just the taste and quality of the food got better but also its representation. I do like how they wrap around burgers like that. The food papers display their logo, which is quite of an improvement. I mean it may have took them months to make it look like this. The fries taste better too probably because they improved their ways of seasoning them. My only issue is that just like my first visit from several months ago it's still hot inside probably they either didn't have AC installed yet or like a huge fan that some restaurants use. Hopefully they can do something about it in the future. However, it's not the point that I want to do a takeout because I live in Fremont and it takes about 20 minutes to get back home especially with all the traffic going on. Anyways, I heard that they're going to open multiple locations including Milpitas, which is closest to my home, in the future and that I'm looking forward to visiting there. read more

It's a saddens me a bit to write this review. Here's why. I've actually had their burger sometimes back last year in a door dash delivery. It was quite late and this was one of the few places open when I wanted a non-franchise burger. I was blown away by it then. Crispy, charred, but full of beef flavor. I've always wanted to dine in since then and finally had a chance. It wasn't what it used to be. The burger was good, but not as I remembered. No crispy, beefy, caramelly maillard reaction I remembered was no where to be found. What distincts smash burger from a burger. It tasted more like a patty that was just pressed flat and cooked like a plain old burger. The Fries was carrying the whole experience. Nice, crispy, I think cooked in tallow. Full on flavor not just potato flavor. The experience I gotta say was subpar too. It wasn't too crowded, yet, it took me like 30 minutes to get the food. It was sparsely seated when I entered but a sizable crowd was forming by the time I got food, people waiting and frustrated for the food to come out. I ate inside but the service though wasn't rude, didn't seem as professional where it seemed like a high school kids's part time work though half the staff seemed much older than that. I gotta say if it wasn't for the fries, I might've given it a 2 stars. I really hope they'll be able to come back to the quality I've enjoyed before. Maybe I was just unlucky on the day. read more

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

On our let's drive around and try burgers in San Jose night this past 4th of July. We came out to North 1st St to try this spot out. Although I appreciate technology, when you visit a spot for the first time you want to be able to talk to an employee and maybe get some recommendations, suggestions. There was one employee on the floor, who never acknowledged us or asked to take our order since there was a large group at the tablet putting in their order. We order a regular cheeseburger and fries and went to sit outside to eat our food, the tables outside were dirty, not wiped down at all. The burger it self, was ok. The pictures that are posted on both instagram and on yelp were not what we got, which was disappointing. Maybe it was a flook and maybe will try it again some other time and it will be better. read more

Dough Burger - Single burger - Burgers Near Me - San Jose, California

Is this the best burger I've ever had? No Could I eat this burger every day? Yes It's a great quick cheaper option for a burger. Mods are expensive but at this price point I have no complaints. Burgers are great, 2x2 is a great ratio. Fries are great too. Sauce is great. Never had the shakes but they look good. It's halal so that's another plus. During peak times it can be a little slow, so order ahead in their website. read more

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

Open late and has a parking lot. I was excited to see a small business burger spot open late in the area. I always prefer supporting small businesses over chain. The food was decent, very small burger size, but flavorful. The restaurant has seating, although, the tall chairs are very uncomfortable and the smoke from the griddle was irritating after a while. Outdoor seating is also available, which is what I opted for but it was late at night so it did get cold fast. The wait time was long. I realized that there were so many food delivery service orders that the people dinning in had to wait about 30-45 mins for their orders. The milkshake was my favorite part because it was on the thicker side, which I prefer. Overall, not a bad burger, For the price, it is decent. I would recommend better range hoods and a better system to not have such long wait times. 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

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

First time here and came on a tuesday afternoon and it was pretty busy around 4 o'clock. I wasn't impressed with their service.

As for the food, I got the triple burger and everything on it and it was good. read more

Dough Burger - Burgers Near Me - San Jose, California

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

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

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

Super casual place. You order from the iPad and wait for your name to be called. Add ons like lettuce, tomatoes, onions, etc are 0.75 each. My single smash burger turns out to be $7+. Good for the price but not very big. Plenty of parking. Shared parking with the hotel. read more

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

One of the better smash burger spots I've tried in SJ. Pretty cheap but they do charge extra for any veggies. After adding tomato and lettuce, my single burger came out to around $6.50. A double cheeseburger combo (comes with drink and fries) with tomato, lettuce, and onions ended up being about $14. The burgers and fries were delicious but a little salty. I didn't even get a pic cus I ate so fast. The strawberry milkshake was okay. Good amount of seating inside and plenty of parking! 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

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

I had really high expectations for this burger spot after seeing all the promotional videos and positive reviews online, so I decided to stop by during lunch. Unfortunately, the experience ended up being pretty underwhelming. The first thing that surprised me was that every single topping on the burger costs extra. On top of that, I didn't even receive everything I ordered despite dining in. I had ordered chilis on the side and a drink, but neither was given to me until I specifically asked about them. When I asked for the chilis, the cashier told me they had run out and asked if jalapeños were okay instead. I ended up taking the jalapeños, but it was still disappointing considering I went well before closing hours. I also wasn't given my drink cup until I asked for it separately, which made the service feel pretty disorganized overall. The restaurant itself also didn't feel especially clean during my visit. What frustrated me most was that it genuinely felt like I would not have received either of the items I paid for unless I specifically asked for them. Between the missing drink cup and the missing side order, the whole experience came across as pretty careless and disorganized. The burger itself was ok. The patty had no crispy bits or any caramelization so the overall experience felt lackluster given the hype surrounding the place. Maybe I just caught them on an off day, but this visit definitely didn't live up to expectations. I'd consider giving them one more try in the future, though. I would rate the burgers a 2/5, sauce a 2/5 and the fries a 3/5. 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.

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
