I was working nearby in Piedmont and needed a quick delicious lunch before returning to work. So I found Flipside. Burgers were huge and amazing. The owner was very friendly and happy to provide me with information since it was my first time at Flipside. I will definitely keep coming by when I am around the area. read more

Every burger starts with a half-pound patty cooked to order. So the Double XX is a full pound of beef with four slices of American cheese. No lie, it's the best burger I've ever had. But you gotta be hungry when you get there. Service is good, too. read more

Burger not as good as it used to be, fries were ok, overall I will not go back until better patties are served

I was craving a juicy burger and Flipside did not dissapoint! Had the western type burger with no bbq sauce, fries and a cookies n cream milkshake. Even though I didn't get my halfsie fries it still hit the spot. Portions are generous and service was homey! Will be back when the craving hits. read more

The curly fries and burger were good. It's nice that they have patty options. The regular fries were disappointing and not very crispy. My fiancé enjoyed his chicken strips. We got the chocolate strawberry shake was fine but I didn't taste much strawberry. The service was good. read more

Vegan burgers and options! The guy who takes the orders, I assume manages, has excellent customer service. He provides above and beyond, I wish I was treated that way every place I patron. Food is fresh and good quality, reminds me of a diner. High chairs available for kids, my girls love their strong fries- crispy! Clean for being on a busy street. read more

I love this place. I remember stopping by at some point during Covid when restaurants were dropping like flies and grocery stores were closed when I finally got off-shift at the hospital. With what we knew about Covid at the time, they adhered to all state regulations and were so careful to ensure safety. It felt amazing to eat something that was fresh/not out of a can before I collapsed at home after another exhausting shift. The food here is constantly excellent- in person or via delivery. It's always clean inside and the staff is super nice. The burgers are HUGE, sides are fried perfectly (not greasy, not under/over-fried, and seasoned well), and made from high-quality ingredients- so it's one of my favorite burger joints when I don't feel like cooking. I do wish they had a "protein style" option like In N Out for keto times, but I do think that getting the bbq/onion ring burger and a vanilla shake is worth the carbs. read more

My dad just git out of the hospital after a long stay. We didn't even go straight home, we went to Flipside for a long-awaited burger! Dad is a happy survivor. Omar, the owner, treated us like royalty. Run, do not walk, to flip side for a fantastic meal!!! read more

Best burger I've had in Oakland so far. Their signature sauce is great. Amazing milkshake. Incredible staff, very friendly and goofy. Fries aren't my favorite, but that's personal preference. read more

THIS PLACE IS SMACKIN!!! I really enjoyed my burger and you can request how you want your burger cooked and full customization of the burger. The curly fries are really good and they played movies while we were eating there. If you want a good burger and watch a cool movie this is the spot. Definitely coming back. read more

Happened upon this place after watching a movie at Grand Lake. I got the Cali burger with avo Swiss cheese and sprouts, medium rare. It was perfect! I like that they give you lettuce and sprouts. Some places swap the lettuce if you get sprouts. Why??? All the veggies were firm and just ripe enough. Some places give you avocado that's about to turn bad. Not this place. I was nicely surprised that burgers come with fries in the price. The dining room was very clean and well lit. I will be back! read more

Usually empty, food is pretty flavorless, not sure how they stay in business. The burgers are boring and bland. The fries are not even good. They use stryofoam. I've tried it like 4 times bc it's close by, hoping to give it another shot. But no, it just isn't good. read more

Great burgers and salads at a great price! Had some friends over so we got takeout. Two kids sliders meals, a bacon/blue cheese burger, a classic burger, and a spinach salad. Everything was cooked to order and we all enjoyed it. The worker (owner?) was there and was talking to a student who was eating there. They seemed to know each other and he was hanging out with her until her mom was supposed to pick her up. Just a cool vibe in general! Check it out! read more

Solid burger joint on Lakeshore! Needed some grub before my TJ's errand and decided to try a spot I haven't frequented on this street. My internal cuisine wheel spun to a classic juicy cheeseburger and garlic fries and that's exactly what I got. Guy behind the counter was jovial and funny - cracking jokes here and there. Inside had some seating but the TV sitch was a bit off- you can hear the audio of a tennis match but no visual display. Napkins, condiments, utensils and a place to put your trash are available on counters toward the back. Easy peasy! Food was freshly prepared and ready in about 15 min. Fresh lettuce, tomato, red onion, a big pickle and their secret sauce came on the side of the piping hot medium well beef patty topped with melted cheddar on a nicely toasted bun. A huge pile of hot crispy fresh garlic fries accompanied the burger and I dug in. Delicious! I finished the hefty burger and 3/4 of the fries and was pretty full. $15 well spent. I was tempted to finish everything but I had to leave some carb real estate for a Colonial glazed donut across the street. Happy to have tried this reliable gourmet burger spot and wouldn't mind trying the chili cheese fries and cowboy burger next time! read more

Great burgers especially the Turkey burger. I like it with half salad and half sweet potato fries.

Food was fantastic! A real burger cooked to the temp you like. Various options, I got the blue bacon on texas toast with salad. Delish! Cooked perfectly and very filling. Two others got the bc lassis with avocado and fries, they loved theirs as well. Parking is easy mid day with meters or paid parking on Lakeshore. Imagine weekends holidays and evenings may be harder to park. Service was fast and very kind people! Ambience is a fast food spot, get your stuff and go. Which is fine by me! If you want a quality burger fast this is your spot! read more

Amazing food. Really awesome and fast service. This is the perfect neighborhood burger and fry place. I'd been searching for some good fish and chips and as soon as I walked in to my surprise and delight they had fresh made fish and chips. The fries are crunchy and cooked to perfection, the burger is flame kissed and there is even real chocolate Malt. We will definitely be back. read more

This place has the best sliders and fries. The service is top tier! Highly underrated and definitely a hidden gem! Definitely worth a stop!

Great local place to get a significant-sized burger for a great price. I have only ever gotten the Classic burger here and it has consistently been great - cooked exactly the way I requested, fresh toppings, sizeable dill pickle and great fries. All for a very reasonable price compared to many other places, and much bigger than Habit or In-n-out. Can't go wrong with Flipside. read more

Wow! Really delicious and a fair price for good quality food. I look forward to returning! Friendly service and a clean dining area. Highly recommended! read more

Flipside has very good food. I like that they have veggie options so everyone can enjoy. You also have the option of how much you want your meat cooked in your burger. If you haven't tried it, their milkshakes are amazing! read more

***3.5 Stars*** Damn. One of those spots where the service actually outshined the food. I've been meaning to try this spot for a while now. Because y'all know how I gets down when it comes to the burgers. I throws it DOWN! I LOVES me a big ol' juicy burger! Finally got my chance to check this spot out a couple months back when I hanging out at Lake Merritt. Walked in and Nimer greeted me with a warm welcome. I told him it was my first time there and he explained the menu. After looking it over, I decided to go with the California Sensation Burger. If you know me, you know that I'm generally pretty basic when it comes to burgers. Every now and then I'll get a bit fancy. But on this day, I just wanted a little bit of Zing with the basics. Prices here are actually pretty reasonable considering the other gourmet burger spots in the area. I also opted for sweet potato fries and a strawberry milkshake. Nimer was super fun to chat with. We chopped it up for a bit while I waited for my food. Didn't take too long before it was ready, and Nimer hand delivered it to me when it was done. Took it to the lake to enjoy, and from the initial looks of everything, I thought it was gonna be a winner. I was wrong... The burger patty was dry :(. And not only that; it was hella bland too. A double whammy. I was heartbroken. No seasoning hit this patty when it was cooked. It definitely looked the part but it wasn't. Veggies were fresh as hell, especially that avo. The burger was stacked too, but... such a disappointment. On the contrary, the sweet potato fries and strawberry milkshake were definitely hittin'. The fries were by far the star of the show. Maybe it was an off day for them as far as the burger is concerned. I'd like to hope so because everything else was great. Gonna give them another chance soon to redeem themselves because the service was wonderful. But for now, I'm gonna leave this at 3 stars for the dry and tasteless burger patty. read more

Barely a line on a Saturday night. Service was pleasant and it only was a 10 minute wait for my burger, fries and shake. Everyone was masked up and plenty of space to stand Ordered a cookies & cream shake, classic burger and fries. Oh man, they did an old favorite right! They ask how you liked your burger to be cooked (I went for well done) and any extra toppings you want added or taken away. Such a huge burger, I was happily surprised! And their special sauce was a nice addition! Fries perfectly crunchy. Delicious and definitely would order again. Even branch out and try something adventurous now that I know the basics are on point. read more

Cashier gave great recommendations. The food was very filling and tasty . Great portions as well.

Made a quick stop here when we got into town. I was feeling like a shake for some reason. Glad that we found this little place. They have a lot of food options available the menu! The shakes were delicious and It was nice to see they were homemade, not just coming out of a machine. I got a strawberries & cream, and my boyfriend got a vanilla with chocolate dipped. It's not a big place, but they have a suitable amount of seating inside. The employees were very nice. The service was pretty fast. They have a bathroom. It was clean. They do have a TV. The next time we come out to this area, we will definitely try some of the burgers. read more

Excellent chicken sandwich! First time here, found the sandwich to be delectable. Place was kind of empty at the time I went, so my turn around time was quick. Sweet potato fries on point. Lemonade was your standard fountain drink lemonade. Good customer service and a clean establishment. Will come back again. Picture doesn't do it justice as I was at work and it had sat for about an hour before I got to eat it. Fries weren't soggy when I got them is what I'm trying to say. I put some ketchup and mayo on my sandwich, do yours how you like! read more

Flipside never disappoints. Fresh burgers made to order, fries not a la carte like most places around these parts. Chicken strips on the menu. Many food choices. Beverage offers range from a Boylan's Shirley Temple to a Mint Chocolate Chip milkshake. Want a beer or apple juice? You got it. Best part is everything is reasonably priced. Again, a novelty in this area. Been enjoying them occasionally since the pandemic when I find I have some time in this neighborhood. Long live Flipside. read more
