    CHILI FRIES
    Alice H.

    I've heard their pies are really good, so we got one for the birthday cake. We ordered the Cheesecake with Blueberry Topping Pie, made with cream cheese in a hand-pressed graham cracker crust, topped with blueberry compote. It tasted really amazing, it's sweet, with a subtle lemon aroma that would slowly come through. I'd recommend enjoying it with a cup of tea or coffee. I can't wait to try their other pies!

    Ordered a fries and burger to-go. The hamburger was piled high with three thick slices of tomato, a big chunk of lettuce and sooooo many rings of onion. It seemed like they were trying to hide the meat. Overall, it was an okay snack (5 oz burger). The fries were made to order and came out super hot and tasty. Coffee shop interior, comfy booths and a fast food-style menu over the cashier. They serve breakfast and make lots of pies.

    Apple pie with beautifully formed soft serve ice cream on top.

    I was in the mood for a slice of pie while in Berkeley on Sunday. Nation's came up as a good option, with a decent selection of pies. I ordered the apple, and the server asked if I wanted ice cream on it. Yes! I have never had pie with soft serve ice cream on top, and such a generous amount. I took it to my table and dug in. Unfortunately it didn't occur to me until my first bite that I should have asked for my pie to have been warmed up first. It would have been all that much better than refrigerated pie. Still, I enjoyed it. Next time I'm in Berkeley for pie, I'll remember to ask.

    My husband and I come to this Nation's a few times a month. We enjoy their breakfast, ham and cheese sandwich, and their burgers. The ladies that work here are very courteous and keep the place really clean (thank you to Raquel and Socorro and the African American lady that helped me signed up for their app - great customer service) The food is always fresh and half the price of most popular places near the area. 10/10.

    Stopped by to use the lavoratory after a long trip. I observed that codes were required, and there was signage indicating for "customer use only." The server gave me the code when asked. I ordered a whole cheesecake afterwards with blueberries to take home. It was fresh and delicious. We've eaten off of it a couple times and it is still really good! The ladies working were cordial and efficient.

    Eating here was very nostalgic for me. It has been so long since I've had Nation's that I can't compare it to what it used to be but I can say that I wasn't disappointed. And I definitely didn't leave hungry! They don't lie - the burgers are HUGE and filled will all the toppings. I like that they only use mayo and don't add ketchup and mustard because I am not a fan of either. I got a cheeseburger and a side of fries and honestly only ate the fries because I paid almost $4 for them. They were pretty bland and could use more salt. That being said, I'd go back when I'm in the area. I see all the bad reviews about their "terrible service". I wouldn't say they went overboard but they were on par with any fast food establishment these days. I didn't have to ask for anything like ketchup for my daughter's fries as it was on the tray when we got the food. Guess it depends on when you go and who's working.

    One of the best spots for a late night snack. Their specialty is hamburgers and fries but they serve breakfast all day and an array of pies. The ambiance is meh, could be more tidy and the service is standard but the burgers are to die for!

    Great team member!

    Veronica was very friendly and helpful Five stars!!!! Great food.... Can't wait to come back.

    Does this look like extra crispy hash browns to you?
    Mark R.

    I ordered my hash browns extra crispy for a togo order and for one to dine in house. They gave me no ketchup for either order and were very stingy with it when I asked. They did not give me strawberry jam as I asked. I reluctantly finished this dine in order even though the hash browns were not turned to cook them crispy as I ordered them I then asked them to cook the hash browns in the to go order some more but they refused. they said I touched them. yes, if they bury your hash browns under your bacon and toast in a small flimsy cheap cardboard box you will have to touch them to remove those items and discover their idea of extra crispy hash browns is not the same as yours.

    The burgers here at this Nation's location is amazing! The service and atmosphere is excellent! Just a few miles from UC Berkeley

    Wrapped sandwich

    The best sandwich I've ever had is their new patty melt. So good I had one for dinner and another for breakfast. The two women working there are really nice.

    Chili Cheese Fries
    Veronica J.

    This was a pretty decent burger and chili fries for a fast food chain. Service was good. We also got lemon crème pie, blueberry crème pie & a chocolate crème pies The blueberry was a little sweet and the lemon very tart but together it was the perfect bite.

The only issue is there's no clear menu posted online, so we walked in completely blind. Their website shows a long list of flavors but not what they actually have that day, so it felt like a guessing game. The line moved really slow because there was only one employee handling everything. She was taking orders, giving samples, answering questions, and ringing people up all at once. She was super friendly and doing her best, but it felt like a lot for one person during a rush and the shop could definitely use more help. The space is really small and tight so it was hard to even see the flavors until we got close to the front. When we finally got up there, a lot of the tubs were already empty which was confusing since most ice cream shops restock. Some flavors I wanted weren't available anymore, and if they're out it would make more sense to just remove them from display. The dirty containers didn't make sense to display. I sampled the jasmine green tea and knew right away I wanted it. It was creamy with a smooth tea flavor that wasn't overpowering. I got a small with half jasmine green tea and half avocado. The avocado was surprisingly really good, super creamy and tasted like a fresh avocado smoothie. Both flavors weren't overly sweet which I liked. My husband wanted cookies and cream but it was sold out so he got chocolate chip instead, which was solid and creamy with good texture. Overall the ice cream itself was good, not the best I've had but definitely not bad. I like that the flavors lean more natural and not overly sweet. I could see myself coming back if I'm in the area, but the experience would be a lot better with faster service and more consistency with what's actually available.

The black sesame had a really nice nutty depth that came through well. The chocolate funnel cake flavor was okay, nothing particularly memorable, with the caramel one leaning a bit too sweet for my taste. Also tried the strawberry and mango matcha drinks.

I liked all of their Kouign Amanns a lot, especially the strawberry one which added a nice fruit element! Their kouign amanns have very crispy layers and very flaky. I'd honestly recommend all 6 of the pastries we tried, especially since the prices for this place are lower (~$6) than some other high quality bakeries around the Oakland and SF area.
