Great food, connected to a brewery. I had the burger and fries and it was amazing. I hear their hot chicken is really good also!

Best burgers! Yes! And I'll admit, it taps into some childhood nostalgia for me. If you ever had a burger at Bob's Big Boy in LA or A&W Rootbeer with the shredded lettuce, it hits that spot. But, fast forward to now, these burgers are simple and simply delicious! Every time I go here I think that maybe I'll try their fried chicken sandwich, or maybe a hotdog. But alas, I always get the burger. If it ain't broke... read more

Be prepared to wait in a loooonnngggg line because this place is the bomb! Got the drive through budget and would have to say it's in the top 5 burgers I've ever had. Fries were nothing to brag about but that's okay My only regret is not getting a second patty read more

This place is lovely. We stopped in for the first time last night (around 9pm). Stood in a long line that took over 30 mins just to get to the window to order. We each got a Drive Thru Burger with impossible patties and shared fries. We also got a swirl soft serve in a cup. The spot is next to a brewery and so it's loud, folx are sloshed and it's definitely a vibe younger me would like more that currently older sober me. Seating is a bunch of picnic tables. Bring layers as it gets cold. The food finally came and I was blown away. The fries were super crispy and delicious. We dipped them in ketchup and it was simple and so good. The burgers were incredible. The bun was unreal. It was so soft and supple. The cooked the impossible burger perfectly. The sauce they make was so tasty. Everything was incredibly fresh. It made the wait totally worth it. Then we were able to skip the line to hand our desert ticket and we took the soft serve swirl to the car. It was super creamy, smooth and delicious. You could tell it was made of super high quality cream. Highly recommend this spot. Just be ready to wait. I recommend coming close to closing time as it's more chill. read more

i've been doing this thing where i make my own smash burgers at home with ground beef from the deli across the street, a slice of american cheese, and a couple slices of sandwich bread because I really can't be bothered to buy burger buns. I use this as a measuring stick to see how good other places burgers are, which should be a low bar considering the fact that I don't have burger buns or burger accessories, but it's sometimes higher than I anticipate due to the deliciousness of a fresh burger and how I don't use onions which are a nice addition, but also not necessary imo due to their steaming the meat which can really hinder the maillard reaction a smash burger is trying to achieve. Anyways, Lovely's burgers are pretty good. I didn't find their fries to be that remarkable, but if you're looking for a good smash burger, I think it measures up to my homemade version pretty well. Their pickles especially are great. read more

As others have noted, the wait is long! The plus is Two Pitchers is next door, so you can grab a drink to enjoy while you wait. Fries were good, but more importantly, the impossible burger was pretty tasty. I also ordered sauces on the sauce. My favorite was the hot sauce, which is habanero, so be prepared for it to have some heat. I also ordered the spicy BBQ, but can definitely do without it. read more

I came here to catch up with some old college homies, and the vibe was really nice. It is part of the Two Pitchers Brewery, which has an indoor bar and lounge and an outdoor patio. It is a great place to talk, eat good food, and drink beer. I got "The Drive Thru" burger with a double patty and a potato bun instead of the sesame bun. Pretty big, quality standard smash burger with all the ingredients balancing out one another. I also got "The Works Fries" and that was good, but nothing too special, just felt like an elevated in n out animal-style fries. Not sure if it was worth the price. For beer, we got a pitcher of the grapefruit & blood orange radler. It tasted more like juice which is what we were expecting so the flavors were really citrusy and crisp. Easily could have drank a few more glasses. Overall, a great place to come to hang out, and catch up with the homies over some nice draft brews! read more

First of the wait in line for this place was absolutely absurd. Our party of six took turns switching out in line and all collectively waited at least 30 minutes, probably longer. After we ordered, the food came out relatively quick. My husband and I split the Drive Thru burger and a fried chicken sandwich, with some fries. Both sandwiches were solid but I wasn't blown away. The chicken had a little too much coating and was too crispy, and the fries were nothing special. The burger was very tasty. I was craving a soft serve and this place actually had it - it was solid but not overly creamy. Our table split it and all had a few bites. Would eat here again if the line wasn't so crazy. read more

Went there today for lunch. The line was short, thankfully! Had the fried chicken sandwich and thought it was pretty good. My gf loved her burger. The beers from Two Pitchers didn't hurt either! read more

I have finally found a burger to write about. They should change the name from Lovely's to Hamburger Bliss. "The Drive Thru Burger ". I recommend you make it a double. The meat was cooked to perfection, the special sauce on point, and the rest of whatever came with it like the veggies and such was awesome as well as the bun. After the first bite I was like In burger heaven. Now I understand why there was a line out front before they even opened. I will definitely come back again, but with more people so I can sample the other items like the fish sandwich which I'm a sucker for as well as the hot dog that that's on the menu. read more

This place is actually delicious! I mean anywhere you go and there's a long line that keeps building up person after person then it must be good right!? This place did not disappoint! Customer service was top notch very friendly and a plus is once you place your order at the window they deliver it to your table. You have the option of sitting inside or outside which is always nice. Inside they have a brewery place where you can get beer, ciders, slushees and more. I really love the variety of Lovely's! Any place that's chill with good food and atmosphere gets my vote! We will try again soon! read more

As other reviews have mentioned, the food here is pretty average given the price point. First impressions were good as the vibe of the area is pretty nice. It's adjacent to a bar which isn't ideal if you're just going for the food as you have to wait in line with everyone else who's there from the bar. This wouldn't be an issue if they had an online ordering option but to-go is probably the less common route for most people. We got the double Westerner, drive thru, fries, and chili cheese fries. The westerner is a hard pass. It taste like any other bbq burger from any other American restaurant joint. The bbq sauce completely overpowered any of the distinct taste you might get from the smash burger patty and sesame seed bun. The drive thru was much better as you could actually distinguish the individual ingredients. The chili cheese fries were a disappointment too. The ratios were all out of whack. Basically ate chili with a side of fries and a hint of cheese. The sauces are a dollar and they charge a 3% processing fee for credit cards without mentioning it anywhere but at $15 for a burger, you'd expect them not to be nickel and diming you for just about everything. Overall, look just about anywhere else for a comparable burger and fries but without the inflated prices and long wait. read more

The food is good! And they have a legit gluten free bun, which is exciting. But oh my goodness, they need to figure out the line situation. Every time I've gone the line is ridiculous, even though the food doesn't take that long. When I've come for trivia, I waited in line for 20 minutes and finally gave up, deciding to eat later. I wonder if it would go fast to have QR code or phone ordering available so guests can order, get drinks play trivia and just pick up when it's finished? I reallllly want to love this food and drink situation. read more

Located next to a beer spot, it is a great place to get a burger while having a drink. Plenty of seating and quick turn around for your food. Since we sat in the patio, we were first to line up when they opened. Not sure if the customers from the beer spot decided to get a burger while having a drink but the line grew very quickly. We got the original fried onion burger. It was fresh but a little oily. I also was not a fan of the sesame bun and would have preferred a regular bun. Ambiance is loud since it's next to a beer spot and it is take out only. read more

Delicious food, plenty of outdoor and indoor seating, and super vibey. A great place to stop by if you're out for First Friday. I'm not a big smash burger fan, but they do it SO well here. Their house sauce adds a nice tangy balance to the savory burger. I absolutely loved their fried chicken sandwich. It's juicy, crunchy, and big! I ordered the spicy one which was a little too spicy for me personally, but I'm definitely going to come back for the original. They also sell beers in the same courtyard. A great place to grab some casual food and beers with friends. Plenty of big picnic tables on the outside for large parties. read more

Lovely's - Corn fritters, burger, and dogs - Burgers Near Me - Oakland, California

4.5 stars but rounding up. I loved the vibe and ambiance of Lovely's/Two Pitchers Brewing, and I hope to be back soon! This has been one of the top new places I've been to so far this year. Lovely's was packed at 7:30pm on a Saturday, and there was a long line to order. You order and pay first, and they deliver the food to your table (Note: you will be charged a 3% processing fee and a 1% Dining for Justice fee.) Luckily, the line moved fairly quickly, and I received my food not too long after ordering. It took about 35-40 minutes for the whole process. I would definitely recommend coming early to avoid the long lines on the weekends. Unfortunately for me, they were already sold out of the Fishwich (they only make a limited number each day). [https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=Fxpw5Y9UDLLbthOgNuJiQg&userid=76vIFZcC7owykCBjMfGVXg] -Hot Chicken Sandwich (Slaw, Bread & Butter Pickle, Comeback Sauce, $14.75): Yum- I loved that they use chicken thigh. The piece of fried chicken was still gigantic, but it was fried perfectly. The exterior was nice and crispy, whereas the interior stayed moist. I also loved that there was a decent spice level to their chicken. My only feedback is that I didn't love the B&B pickle, and the comeback sauce was a little too flavorful/heavily seasoned for the sandwich. I also wasn't a fan of their bun, which had way too many sesame seeds. I would have preferred a regular pickle, a lighter sauce, and a different bun; however, this was still a great sandwich and I would order it again. -The Drive Thru (American Cheese, Onion, Pickle, Iceberg, Tomato, Special Sauce, $9 + $2 Bacon): Solid burger, and I liked their special sauce! I still didn't love their bun with a ton of sesame seeds, but the rest of the burger was really good. For those with larger appetites, I would recommend adding another patty $3, since their patties were on the thinner side. Although I liked this burger, I would want to try their Original Fried Onion or the Westerner the next time around. -Fries (Side/$5): Solid fries, and they were nice and crispy- recommended! -Soft Serve Cup (w/Vanilla & Chocolate, $5.75, https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=X_R5ZX2eMbrZTriJSas1tg&userid=76vIFZcC7owykCBjMfGVXg): Yum- creamy and delicious! I really appreciated that you have the option to order and pay first, and then go back to the order window to pick up your ice cream after you finish your meal. I was also super grateful they were able to dispense the vanilla and chocolate soft serve side by side versus as a swirl. The chocolate was my favorite out of the two, since the flavor was more natural and slightly less sweet. I thought the vanilla was good, but had a slightly artificial flavor to it (or maybe it was just a little too sweet for me?). I would definitely order their soft serve again and just stick to the chocolate next time. Their staff was so friendly and helpful, and I will definitely be back to try more of their menu! The beers at Two Pitchers next store went well with the food from Lovely's, and prices are super reasonable at both places. They had a ton of outdoor and indoor seating. Street parking was actually relatively easy to find at the time, which was surprising. read more

Worth the wait. The OG and chicken sandwich are recommended along with the fries and corn fritters. Entertaining atmosphere especially if pets are there, kids are running around, and birthdays are being celebrated (outside and inside the upstairs loft of the brewery). My visit checked those boxes and more. The person taking orders is friendly and offers advice. A pager is given after ordering and the pick up window is just inside the brewery. Outdoor and indoor seating available. Beer next door. read more

Visited on a Sunday around 3:30pm. There were maybe 8ish parties ahead of our group. It took about 15 minutes to place the order and another 15-20min for our orders to be prepared. Food: The Drive Thru with an Impossible Burger - really tasty, veggie on the burger we're fresh, nice grilled onions, the special sauce and pickles take this burger to the next level. Fries - these were okay, a little on the thicker size, not greasy but wished they were fried slightly more crisp and sprinkled with a touch more salt Corn fritter - super tasty, light and fluffy, good corn flavor, slightly sweet, kinda like a large hush puppy, paired really well with the special sauce Service, fast casual order at the window and they give you a number so they can bring you your order when it's ready. Overall food was pretty tasty, everything was made with quality ingredients. Only complaint is our food came out lukewarm, so instead of eating it at two pitcher, we got our order to go and reheated it before eating. read more

Dog friendly patio with solid comfort food. Met up with the girls for a long-overdue hangout and we chose Lovelys because of the dog friendly, outdoor patio and proximity to public transit. I was happily surprised to learn that the patio is shared with the neighboring brewery, and that their food is reminiscent to carnival/comfort food (without the jenky carnival rides)! I ordered a Coney island hot dog (hot dog in potato bun smothered in chilli cheese and wrapped in fries) and a bottle of coke. It was a delicious, all beef dog and left me satisfied without feeling bloated or greasy. I ended up going back for some soft serve ice cream to complete the full "summer carnival vibes" for the meal. Would definitely go back! read more

Horribly rude and awful person taking the orders. It was a fundraiser for my child's school and I felt bad for bringing my kids here to see an adult behaving so badly. Food is mediocre (which we already knew from past meals) but it's a great space to hang out - especially with kids. In general I would consider it worth the meh food because it's such a spacious and relaxing environment but don't think we'll be returning after tonight. read more

Tl;dr The food here is delicious, high quality, and all around good vibes. I'd come here again to chill with friends! I came here on a Friday around 5:45PM and drove by first to see if there was the long, dreaded line that many folks have mentioned - lo and behold it was short! So I had my girlfriend and dog join the line while I circles around the neighborhood for parking - which was difficult and I ended up parking in a resident garage. However, that isn't recommended as they are expensive, like $3 per 30-minutes expensive. After parking, I came back to the location and the line was now all the way at the gate door - time check around 6pm. First thing I noticed was that tons of people brought their dogs and lots of kids running around, chill family vibes. I ordered a lot: a drive thru double burger, onion rings, coney dog, mexi coke, and soft serve swirl in a cone. Logistically you get in line to order at the window and then they give you a number to place on your table. If you get soft serve, they give you a ticket so you can pay now and pick up after the meal. Drive thru double burger 4/5: well constructed burger with the smash patties and secret sauce. The sesame bun made a difference here and you could test the quality of ingredients. I just wished the patties were smashed a bit more for some extra crisp. Onion rings 4/5: super delicious onion rings and some of the best I've ever had. The batter is perfectly applied to the onion rings and they serve it with a ranch dipping sauce that was really tasty and fresh. Some of the onion rings though were a bit oily. Coney dog 4/5: pretty simple and served with a few fries. Super classic with the chili and mustard but you could taste the quality in the ingredients which takes it up a notch. Soft-serve swirl 4/5: this was so perfect and tasty to finish the meal! They really stacked it high. All in all the food was pretty good and the vibes were chill. Not sure I'd come back here unless I was going to hang with some friends. The location makes it difficult to park and I wouldn't be willing to wait in line for the food. read more

Being a generally miserable and negative person that I am, I had full intentions on not giving Lovely's a chance. I mean I already have plenty of good burgers spots to go to, what possibly does Lovely's serve that will make me want to add another burger spot to my rotation? Answer: Amazing food. We were shopping at Target a block away and decided to drive by Lovely's. I said if there is a parking spot available right in front, then it's meant to be, otherwise I'm driving off. It must have been my day because a spot right in front of Lovely's opened up right when I got there. So we walked in passed the bar area to the order counter. I ordered: Double Drive Thru Burger: at Lovely's they smash the beef patties similar to Shake Shack. The beef was flavorful and their special sauce was delicious and provided the perfect amount of burger lube so a drink wasn't even needed as a chaser. The buns are exceptionally soft like Downy soft. I can't think of anything the burger could improve on. It was that good. Classic Chicken Sandwich: this was a large chicken thigh well seasoned and moist. It was an excellent chicken sandwich but bang for buck, the burger is the way to go unless you are cutting back on red meat. Fries: good. I wish I could be more descriptive but I can't. The ordering process is simple, just order at the counter, pay, take the number they give you, have a seat, and the food will be brought to the table. I wish I could say something negative but I can't. Good food, nice and casual, open air seating, dog friendly, good service. Great place for groups too. read more

I don't drink alcohol but I still come here for the burgers. In-n-out is by far my favorite spot. Best quality for the cost, but when I want to change it up, I go here. The cool part about this spot is it has lots of outdoor seating for larger parties. Their will be a wait but most people buy drinks and chill with their friends. The cost does rack up quickly the more you order. But if you go their with the intention of saving you can escape with a $9 cheese burger and be decently full. In-n-out is still the best in my opinion but this is a spot to check out for all you burger fanatics. read more

I met up a big group of friends on a Thursday night. We enjoyed trying a couple different beers. We did wait in line for about 30 minutes but we did our research and came prepared for it. They move the line so quickly so it felt like nothing. Awesome service! The burgers were delicious and cheap! It was a great outdoor spot to hang and catch up at. read more

There's definitely a reason this place has such a long line. The buns feel like I'm biting into a soft pillowy cloud and the burger patties are juicy and crispy. There's so much flavor and texture in every bite. I already started to have dreams of these burgers the moment I left. We got The Drive Thru Burger and The Westerner Burger, both with 2x patties because we came hungry. Out of the two The Drive Thru was our favorite. The sesame bun was unbelievably soft and the "simple" ingredients were ust right. The Westerner is also phenomenal, but it's a little bit on the heavy side. But if you're looking for a heavy BBQ focused burger, the Westerner knocks it out of the park. Oh and fries? Also bomb. You can't have burgers without fries! Sit inside for some delicious beers next door and play a round of foosball (no coins required!). read more

It really IS quite Lovely! Had dinner here with some friends while we enjoyed a few beers at Two Pitchers Brewing and it hit the spot! Lovely's is located in the Two Pitchers Brewing beer garden. They specialize in Burgers and sandwiches, and their fish sandwich was bombtastic! You don't have to buy beer at the brewery in order to purchase food from here. You can access their food stand in the beer garden from the outside entrance. But be forewarned; if you're coming in the evening to purchase food, you'll be waiting in line with the rest of the brewery crowd. I got lucky and got in line while it was short. I'd say, the earlier the better because dinner time = loooong lines! Aside from that, this place is totally worth it. I'd normally go for a cheeseburger, but their fish sandwich sounded very appetizing. Plus, they get their fish delivered fresh daily from the Monterey Fish Market and they serve it until they sell out (limited supply). Just one more reason to get here early for dinner if you can. They use panko crusted chili pepper rockfish and it tastes fantastic! The panko crust was fried to perfection with perfect crispy edges, and the fish was nice and flaky. They use a grilled potato bun which was so soft and buttery. You will definitely get your money's worth from that fish sandwich. My friends really enjoyed their cheeseburgers as well. That will be next on my list! Their fries aren't anything special but they're decent. They kind of remind me of In-N-Out fries but firmer and a tad bit thicker. Hand cut style but these were just average to me. They have a few other items on their menu like chicken sandwiches and hotdogs, and you can also make your burger vegan. If you have a tab open at the bar, just let them know and they'll add the food to your tab. Prices aren't cheap but for this kind of quality, I'd say it's definitely worth it. It's a gem of a spot in Oakland, and the fact that they're conveniently located within Two Pitchers Brewing is a match made. read more

So happy to finally be able to try this place! The indoor/outdoor ambience is such a vibe especially on a nice sunny day. Plenty of outdoor seating and if you're trying to avoid the heat or stay warm there are a bunch of tables and chairs inside. While waiting for your food, you can grab yourself a beer. They have a wide variety of beers and drink selections. Food came out quick and it did not disappoint. I know I'll "make it a double" for next time! I didn't want my burger to come to an end. Highly recommend giving this place a try! read more

I started with a Almanac Kolsch lager. A decent beer. I was impressed with the Western burger yesterday. In all honestly the sauce they used changed the taste of the burger. The down side was they stiffed me on the extra patty I ordered. Even though I appreciated the taste it's something I typically would not reorder a lot. Not sure why they don't offer onion rings on a regular basis. The outdoor dining area is pretty spacious. Dog friendly too. On the website it opens at 4:00 pm however the beer concession operation was opened earlier.... Not sure how much earlier. read more

Not so lovely customer service. She wasn't outright rude, but I guess the 18% tip warranted a wordless handoff of food and just staring. That aside, the burgers were well cooked, buns soft and fries were tasty. Really liked the outdoor patio setup and ambiance. Downside is the drive through burger cheese was overwhelming and drowned out the rest of the burger flavors. The fries were maybe half the size of a normal order elsewhere and definitely not worth it. $36 including tip for two double burgers and a tiny portion of fries, not worth it. read more
