I love this place! I don't make it to this area of oakland often but when I found myself there I headed straight there. The ahi is great, reminds me of a food truck on Maui. Can't wait to go back again! And to top it off, I met the owner, and he was fantastic. read more

Flipside - It was good Shake - Burgers Near Me - Oakland, California

Very average at best. The bun became soggy almost immediately, draining a patty isn't that hard, who wants soggy bread, no one I know. The mushrooms were good and fresh so that was nice. Now the garlic fries, not bad, fresh garlic, they use thin fries, but have had much better. Would I go back? No. I don't crave hamburgers too often, so when I do I want a super delicious one. Trueburger is less expensive and tastes better, including the fries.. Lakeshore is not a street I've looked to for great food, Grand Ave is a bit better. read more

Flipside wins with a neo-classic 50s dinner appeal. Red and silver bar stools, milkshakes, bottled beer, sodas, fries. Even has a modern touch to it with reasonably fresh organic beef, choice of bun (like white bread, or multi grain), choices of meat (Beef, turkey, chicken, veggie burger). Their biggest obstacle is price. Their basic burger is just under $9... that's a tough sell. (bongo burger in Berkeley makes the best damn burger ever (with all your favorite organic sustainable etc meat notes as well) local made bread... $6. Soooo, I dunno. At any rate--decided if I'm getting a burger, might as well get the fries (comes with the meal) got curly fries--extra charge. Asked for more lettuce and tomato--extra charge. Asked for a drink--extra charge. Total = $16.25. Burger, fries, soda. Got the bill--tip option ::sigh:: $2. Total was over $18 :( The burger was dry and oddly tough. The bread was good but a bit doughy and squishy. The taste was pretty bland. All and all, the facility is nice, the music is fun, the people are okay. But I'm not interested in spending this much money for lunch. Unreasonably overpriced for what you get. (Btw--Telegraph Beer Garden has a $10 burger that it's actually worth $10 because it is KILLER). This burger is a bit...meh. Would I go again? Maybe if a friend invited me for lunch, mayyyybe. But in my opinion, the cost is too heavy. read more

We really like this place. They usually make great burgers. But i must update my review. Once again our to go order had a raw burger which could not be eaten. Big disappointment since we were having a craving for flipside. Besure to check your patty before you leave the store. read more

Flipside - Raw patty - Burgers Near Me - Oakland, California

I was pleasantly surprised at the flavor of each item I ordered. The price seemed a bit steep, but at least everything tasted good. I got an islander chicken burger with garlic fries and a chocolate shake, for $20! The burger was gigantic, fries were the perfect flavor, and the shake didn't taste like a bunch of artificial syrup- it tasted like real ice cream! Staff was friendly and there was plenty of seating. read more

Soooo where to begin, I am going to keep it short, these b*** a*** m*****s, canceled my order when I ordered through uber eats. Claiming they didn't know what happened. Yall goofy a***s canceld my order and if the owner is reading this he is a b***h for having wack a** workers read more

Everything is good here but way over priced. I like how they have a lot of options from the type of meat, to toppings and even sides. I always get a burger with teriyaki sauce and pineapples. I have never been disappointed. Last time I came I got 2 burgers 1 fries and 1 soda and it was $30. SHEESH. If I wanted to spend gourmet prices I would have went to Barney's. Nevertheless I come here when I don't mind breaking the bank for a burger. Limited seating. Very small location. read more

3.5 stars Wanted to get some non offensive good food for an unknown amount of people with unknown food preferences. Yay....but hey, Flipside to the rescue! Got sliders, chicken tenders, chili fries, a hot dog and a cobb salad. The service was reasonably quick for a larger order and polite. Food was satisfying and there was something for everybody. No complaints since everyone picked what they wanted and no one stayed hungry. I'll chalk that up as a win! read more

I ordered from this place last night through Uber Eats, and they delivered the wrong order. On top of that, my son didn't even get his neopolitan milkshake that I was already charged for. I would not recommend this place at all. read more

Was in the Oakland area and dropped by for some dinner. Don't let the price scare you; it might seem a bit pricey but you do get your money's worth. Their burgers are pretty big and come with fries. The hubby ordered a burger and I got three beef sliders. Their grilled onions are really good, as their sauce. I also recommend trying one of their shakes as well. 4 stars though, because the guy at the counter often disappeared into the kitchen, leaving customers waiting at the front. read more

I have been here before but it has been a while. Just wanted a quick bite so I stopped in for onion rings. I was quite disappointed because onion rings was my only reason for being there. It was getting late and I did not have many options. The onions rings looked good but YIKES when I bit into them... let's just say I had to do more than pay them with my napkin before attempting to eat them. EXTREMELY GREASY!!!! It was late and they would be closing shortly so I didn't make a fuss. My friend ate his sandwich and we left. read more

I was excited to try a small local restaurant, but I am somewhat disappointed by my first experience. My order was being packed for pickup right as I reached the counter - perfect timing. The gentleman asked, "Veggie burger with extra crispy fries?" Alas, the fries were anything but extra crispy - not even as "basically" crispy as the fries from McDonalds. Instead, they were limp and soggy. Thankfully, I have a deep fryer at home and was able to salvage them. Also - my order stated "No flip sauce", but a small container was included. Had they paid attention, they could have saved the time, money, and need for recycling. The same day I had this experience, I wrote to them (info - at - fsburger - dot - com), but received no reply. FWIW, the apparent lack of attention to detail extends to the spelling of the restaurant's name in the order confirmation email: "Your Flipeside Burgers order receipt...". read more

Was here yesterday while my place was being painted. In this city of over-priced blasse' burgers, i like going here where i can get a two hearty tasty burger (one burger was for my dog) and fries for 20 bucks! And they always have good music! Thanks for having quality food at a fair price! read more

I really REALLY wanted to like this place especially since it's so close to my house and there are many good reviews, but I found it subpar. Why I'm giving it a 3: - meat was super dry - the avocado on the California burger covered 1/4 of the bun... not cool! - bread was soggy - underwhelming taste overall Why I'm not giving it a 1: - fries are yummy - shakes are delicious! Unfortunately we won't be coming back :( read more

Flipside - Where's the rest of the avocado?! #rude - Burgers Near Me - Oakland, California

I've always seen this place, and have finally got to try it out. It was pretty empty on a Tuesday around 2PM, with only a few other people there. There's a lot on the menu from burgers to salads. I ended up sharing a burger with my sister. We decided on the Lakeshore Heat because we wanted something spicy. Lakeshore Heat had sauteed green chilies and grilled onions, jalapenos, jack cheese, fresh jalapenos and chipotle aioli. We upgraded our regular fries to garlic fries because who doesn't love garlic fries! While ordering our food at the counter, the man who took our order didn't seem like he wanted to be there. He barely spoke to us and just simply took our order. He just tossed the receipt and the pen on the table for a signature. His attitude made me not want to be there anymore. He gave us our number and that was it. We sat and the food kind of took long, but I didn't mind too much. They ended up forgetting about our garlic fries so we had to tell them. I would think that the fries were tossed in garlic, but the other guy took it back and threw a few garlic mix on the fires and brought it back out. I kind of just shrugged it off and ate my food, cleaned our table and left. I don't think I'd be coming back due to the service that was given. read more

I was just passing by and decided to try this place. What a wonderful surprise. The burger and fries were top notch I will go back.

When hungry in the hood go here for a tasty and well prepared burger. I'd give 5 stars for my burger but the fries were not super crispy, just good. Onion rings were pretty great. And they have beer!! Yay. So 4 stars overall. Beats any chain burger place -- low or high. Including Super Duper. Mmmm. Not sure about Habit. TBD. read more

Flipside is a kitchy, 50's(ish) burger joint that plays doo-wop music within walking distance of the lake. Yes pleeeez!! Burgers are generously sized and come with your choice of bread, cheese, veggies, and sauces. They have some specialty burgers - the Hangover stands out, smothered in cheese, an egg, bacon and fries - but you can also just get a plain burger, grilled juicy and served straight up. It's not the best burger you've ever had, but it's hearty, meaty and flavorful. The fries are reminiscent of McD's, but in a crunchy, deep-fried, this-is-a-compliment way. Just don't expect 'em thick cut or with skins, cuz ain't nuthin' healthy 'bout these potatoes!! The fun ambiance feels like a diner, and the customer service is stellar. The meat isn't organic; they state that it's hormone-free, which is a step up from some other meat patties, but not quite the quality you get (and pay for!) at neighboring joints. There are non-beef options, like the fried chicken sammy and salads. But most importantly: they serve a nutella oreo milkshake that will BLOW. YOUR. EFFING. MIND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Share it with a friend so that you don't hate me (or yourself) in the morning!! read more

Attention Lakeshore/Grand Lake occupants! Will the REAL BURGER-MEISTERS PLEASE STAND UP!? Adam's Burger buried themselves with high prices, sub-par quality and outdated decor (may you rest-in-peace).. Kwik Way has tried to reinvent themselves as a gourmet drive-in with high prices, small portions and meh quality offerings. The cafe down the street has a mini burger (1/4 lbs?) with fries/fruit combo for $.55 less and the cheesesteak shop across the street has a no frills burger for a little over half the price... and then on the flip-side (get it? FLIPSIDE, LOL), we have a rose that grew from concrete! A few co-workers and I have been anticipating Flipside's grand opening since there were no good burger joints on the block and Anh's was a bit too far for an OK burger; TrueBurger/Barney's was even further for a premium burger. Luckily, a co-worker's curiosity and persistent pacing back and forth upon Flipside's debut scored him a complimentary Bacon Bleu burger from the owner and training staff. He said the burger was really good and the sweet potato fries were on point (I can contest since I've helped myself to a few, haha). Free food? Why NOT!? Evidence: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/yr4JZasH36fAQVF_EgKwNw?select=X6nmYobXC5KFPlfJC0XQNA As for my experience? + Hangover Burger (fried egg, yellow American queso, applewood smoked oink oink, french fries and Tabasco mayo) was FANTASTIC! I did sub the cheese for Jalapeno Jack and chose a Turkey patty with Texas toast instead of the usual suspects (Beef/Bun) and the staff also spoiled me with Sweet Potato fries instead of the norm. Good size & great flavor (1 1/4 lbs of well seasoned grounded gobble gobble, oowey gooey egg yolk, spicy tang from Tabasco mayo)! Fries again were well seasoned and crisp. Price seemt steep until I factored in the inclusion of fries. Flipside has the potential to be the best burger joint in Oakland. You can choose from ground beef/turkey, chicken breast or veggie patties. Buns are also interchangeable between white, wheat or Texas Toast treat. I'm just a little disappointed that it took nearly 10-15 mins for my burger to be ready but that's expected from a new business. As long as the quality is kept high and the service speeds up then they WILL be the undisputed BURGER KING. If you're crunching calories then consume elsewhere! This isn't for the faint of cal counters! read more

I stopped in right before closing cuz I was hungry. To be fair, I am not a fan of hamburgers. I didn't like the fries. The people working the counter were cool but I just didn't care for the flavorless burger. read more

Flipside has the feel of a franchise burger joint but i saw a lady get a resume application form so it looks individually runned. plenty of seating here. order get a number system or get your name called if to go. eats: classic burger medium rare(7.95) -comes with fries/salad. skipped so -$1 -red onion, tomato, large pickle, sweet house sauce, --burger had red /pink meat showing, not so juicy, a little griste, meat a tad dry. --large sturdy bun. didn't break up with juice absorption, 3.75 stars crumbs: -burgers takes 12-45 minutes to cook, depending on business -room for 50 to eat in, surprising so much room wasted when adams was here. -the bad: metered parking -earlin in the morn: no waiting. -burger better than kwik way, pales compared to 510, trueburger. read more

Thought already reviewed this, but must be another listing. Really enjoy their burger which is high quality in all departments. Appreciate they are still operating during the COVID era. Really like good quality lettuce tomato and onion which fast food places are terrible about. Bun is great, good beef, fries top notch. read more

Mediocre meal. It wasn't memorable. I had the classic with curly. The meat was dry and their flipside sauce was nothing to write home about looks like bottled thousand island. Portion was big. Decent price for the portions given. Unfortunately nothing was memorable so I won't be coming back. My kids had the turkey sliders it was bland and dry. My husband had the Hawaiian. This was a little better due to the juicy pineapples that help add juice and flavor. read more

First time here and I'll never be back. Horrible service and mediocre food. The front counter guy/owner was too busy chatting it up with friends to get our order right. He was so preoccupied, he managed to skew-it-up twice! All the meals came out at different times and they forgot one of our orders. When politely asked, the owner barked "it's coming". Twenty five minutes later, after finishing our meals, we asked about it again. THIS time the owner said we'd never ordered it...What?! After checking the receipt and realizing he was mistaken, he put the order in with no apology. Another 20 mins goes by and still no sign of our last meal. I hear the bell ring from the kitchen and the owner is once again chatting with people in the dining area. We wait another 10 minutes and by this point I've had it, so I go to the kitchen to retrieve the meal myself. Save your money, appetite and time and head-on-over to TrueBurger. Excellent food and service. And BTW, the kitchen looked filthy! read more

Ordered the hangover burger. Looked great. Ordered it medium rare but was served a raw on the inside pink burger. Returned it to the counter and they simply threw it back on the grill. It still was raw in the inside. Ate the fries but could not eat a pink cold hamburger. read more

So good. I'm very picky and like my meat well done. They always serve it the right way. The fires Are the best always crispy.

What I ate: the Cowboy burger Visit date: March 11, 2013 First time? Yes. I wanted meat, I ate the whole burger, and I didn't feel bad about it. I was hungry! I got my burger medium well, but it was cooked well done and was a bit chewy. But the flavors and accoutrements made up for it. It had bacon, cheddar cheese, onion rings, and BBQ sauce -- how can you go wrong with putting BBQ sauce on a burger? Tangy and salty sauce with fresh lettuce and tomato toppings = I win! read more

Wow. This was unexpectedly good. First off, the portions are great. I love big portions since I can eat a lot, and the burgers + fries were very satisfying. I called, ordered online, and went in to pay and pick it up. I love how they have different sauces on the side for their different burgers. Fries were amazing, burgers were great. I can't complain! Their shakes are also very satisfying and delicious. I got the cookies & cream one and will definitely order it again every time I go back. read more

The food was more like 3 stars but the wait for my burger was about 25-30 minutes. Based on looking around, most people were just like me: looking around and waiting for food to come out. While looking back at the kitchen they seemed confused and overwhelmed with the full house. The staff was friendly and courteous but it couldn't make up for the long wait. I got the specialty burger (mushrooms, Swiss cheese, grilled onions, bacon) with onion rings for around $14 and it simply wasn't worth the price, especially with Trueburger and Umami so close by. The burger was sizable and cooked medium as I requested but it lacked flavor. Maybe more salt? It was loaded though, lots of onions, mushrooms and bacon but still lacked flavor somehow. Half pound burger was filling and the onion rings were on point. Might come by to try a shake some time. read more

Overall, it was decent but not amazing. When I try a new burger place, I always get a hamburger, to really taste the burger (plus I am lactose intolerant). To me, the burger may be too big. The patty is half a pound, and I wish there was at least a quarter of a pound choice. The meat was cooked to the medium I requested, but it lacked seasoning, some salt and pepper would be nice while it is cooking. I ordered it with a side order of curly fries, which were fine. The best curly fries are the ones at Barney's. The basic parts of a burger were there and the portion is generous, but I wish the bun was softer. It was super heavy with 1/2 patty. The flip sauce was nice but I have had better. My boyfriend got regular fries which were much better and seasoned. He got the hamburger with jalapeno jack which gave it a nice kick. Since we have only had a few things, I would go back and try another burger, maybe with avocado. But only if I am in the area. read more

My burger was greasy beyond belief, it took forever to get my food, and the tall guy helping me there was unbelievably rude.

Solid burger joint, a few things we didn't enjoy,but we would order from them again occasionally. The burgers themselves were really enjoyable. Both the burger buns and the milkshake were safe for my egg-allergic spouse, which is always good. We liked the burgers best of what we ordered. Fries were undistinguished but good. Onion rings delicious. The sweet potato fries were pretty much an abomination -- undercooked and almost crunchy, definitely never again. Cobb salad was really pleasant. The spinach salad was good except for a too-sweet raspberry dressing. Caesar salad was nothing special, croutons were really limp, but decent. Chocolate milkshake was good but a very small portion. All in all not bad. read more

I don't eat hamburgers too often, but I was Jonesing for a burger after a workout and went here. Well, this place was on point, got a double burger and couldn't even eat the fries. Too full. Nice atmosphere with a TV to watch the game. Definitely hit the spot. read more
