    Their menu. Prices are pretty reasonable.

    If you are looking for no frills but a solid place for food near the airport, this is the place to come. This place alcaught our eye because it has Korean fried chicken but is also a burger joint. Curiosity won out. The food is delicious and reasonably priced. My friend and I got Korean fried chicken sweet and spicy, 10 pieces and it was pretty darn solid. It was delicious, crispy and flavorful. I got the Chili burger was intense and huge! I wasn't expecting it to come with so much chili and I won't complain! It was too salty for me but as a burger, it was delicious! I might have ended up liking the chili more just because I like chili. My friend got pastrami and they said it was as expected so you'll get a solid sandwich. It came with pickled jalapenos that were unique in a good way. There is plenty of parking and it is near the airport where you go to rent cars.

    Giant burger!!

    Lol this place really does feel OG and it's fitting that it's called "Original" Giant Burger. There were like construction workers getting lunch here so I knew it was a good spot lol. Fair prices and good food that hits the spot. This was close to the airport so I came here when I picked up family from the airport and they wanted to eat burgers lol. I wanted to try a local spot, and of course sadly In n Out is not a local option anymore. All the food was good. The service was funny and they were accommodating to our many questions and requests. Just be careful they might charge for little things, just clarify if something is an additional charge or not. I had a chili cheese dog lol, my parents had burgers. All the condiments are available on the side like hot sauce and ketchup. Everything hit the spot. Come support your good ol' fashioned, mom and pop, local burger spot!

    Decided to come to this burger place, which is also known for its fried wings along with their fish and chips. There is actually more to the menu than that and they have a breakfast menu as well. This place sits directly under the flightpath of the Oakland airport. It's a small Mom and pop operation with less than a dozen tables inside. Not the most cleanest of places with plenty of flies buzzing around inside. Nonetheless, that doesn't stop this place from being popular. I decided to keep it simple with a bacon cheeseburger, and an order of onion rings. You can help yourself to a table full of condiments situated next to an antiquated fountain machine. The burger was decent and pretty much on par with In-N-Out and much better than McDonald's. The onion rings here are seven dollars a serving, but they were pretty much worth it. Despite being a little rough around the edges, this place delivers up some decent grub, which is better than some of the fast food chains. When you check out, the tip screen won't be waiting for you, but it will be on the receipt you sign when using your credit card. Informative photos included for added dimension.

    Amazing burger, check this place out if you are a burger lover, only thing is they put too much lettuce so ask for light lettuce. Other than that 10/10 burger. I got the teriyaki burger just to try something different and man oh man, loved it

    Food is delicious, would not expect this is my acupuncturist did not tell me about this place. The Korean Fried Chicken is authentic. We spoke to the cashier, seemed like he is the owner. He was very friendly. The soy garlic and honey butter were both flavorable. Not too salty, sweet, or too overly crunchy. The hamburger was good. The fish burger was tasty, no fishy or stale taste. Ambiance is a normal burger joint, old style, clean. Hole in the wall, little mom and pop shop. Convenient location too, lots of parking. Will get take out again if in the same vicinity.

    I got a soft spot for mom and pop shops and this is the epitome of it. Don't come here expecting a refined meal as the place feels like a run down diner with no AC and old school booths and tables for dining in, but the workers are friendly and ready to serve. Food-wise they're a bit confused, but we were happy enough with our fried chicken entrees (pretty much Korean fried chicken). We got two half Crispy Fried Combos - one in Soy Garlic and the second in Sweet & Spicy and both were fried extremely well. We also got a free little bonus appetizer of deep fried rice cakes when the cashier (assuming the owner) asked if we enjoyed spicy food and we said yes. This type of establishment feels like the businesses that make a city's personality and builds community so I'd happily support them again in the future.

    Ordered online, went to pick up order and left. Realized missing a burger from the order, called them and he offered to make the missing order but I asked if he could refund me m, took like 2 days but he did it. Eats... had the double cheeseburger and the fries chicken. The double cheeseburger was huge and it hit the spot that I was craving for. It was messy but that's how I like it. The fried chicken we got in the mild sweet and spicy. We got huge drumsticks as well as flats. It was very tasty.

    This inexpensive burger, hot dog, breakfast place has been here for years and they've recently gone thru a change where they have added KFC - Korean Fried Chicken! Who doesn't know or love KFC?!? The National food of South Korea! Or is it Japchae or Kimchee or Kalbi or.... Well if you watch a lot of K-Dramas you'll know that S Koreans love their fried chicken: Original or you can get the American concoction of: Soy Garlic, Sweet & Spicy, Cheddar, Honey Butter, or Garlic. From WS?!? The place is across from the Oakland Metro Golf Links & Range and down the road from the San Leandro Dump on busy Doolittle - Convenient divey location for all the local businesses. Don't expect clean but expect comfort food. We had the Soy Garlic 7 Piece of Drums and Wings which were good for the price and convenience of having nothing similar around for miles. We also used the gloves to protect our hands from getting smelly or sticky. Hamburgers are quarter pound and decent. A good place to pick up food for your flight out of Oakland Airport.

    McDonald's??  No, Giant Burger

    Giant Burger used to be one of my favorites for great service and good food at reasonable prices. No more. The ownership changed and they've slid downhill astonishingly fast. I still went in as the cook was a carryover, so for a while the food was the same. The new owners raised prices and added Korean fried chicken. This past visit was rock bottom. I ordered my usual Denver omelet with hash browns and sourdough toast. The omelet was terrible. Undercooked, no meat. The toast was not toasted, just tasted like regular white bread. Worst the "hash browns" were just 2 McDonald's-like patties. Man, I could cook this crap better at home. The new owner gets easily confused and doesn't seem to be able to handle the register. Anything out of the ordinary like "hold the onions" seems to confuse him. He was arguing with the guy in front of me about the price of his breakfast sandwich because he wanted to substitute turkey for ham. The lady owner stepped in and charged the correct amount. High prices, lousy food, and rude customer service. It pains me to say, but you've lost this customer forever.

    The hamburger was delicious and the French fries cooked well. Always cooked in fresh grease. Ice to get a discount when paying cash.

    My wife and I tried A+ Burger last Friday for dinner. I'd read good reviews, so we gave it a try…read more Wife decided on the fish burger and I went straight for the A+ burger! The fish burger was crispy yet juicy and savory. The bun was soft, but not bready. Not a fillet-o-fish sandwich, but it stood on its own and the portion was enormous! What can I add about the A+ burger that has not already been said? It's the complete burger...and the fried eggplant is its secret weapon! Thankfully I was hungry when I ordered it because by the time I took my last bite, I was extremely full, yet satisfied! And I MUST add that the service here is exemplary! Courteous does not begin to explain how nice the order taking experience was for me as a customer. It was nice, accommodating, and genuine. I love this level of service. Washed down a side a French fried bean with a cold Coke. What a meal!

    Ordered the crispy onion BBQ burger, garlic fries, and the oreo cookie and creme milkshake online…read morefor pickup. There's street parking in front and a parking lot in the back. I ordered the food knowing I would be there in 20 minutes and low and behold the food was scheduled to be ready right around the time I got there. The food was coming out as I got there. Quick service. I didn't eat outside but there's a few tables there. Nonetheless, I ate my food and it was good. The garlic fries weren't oily or soggy. The burger was massive, though I would suggest not playing the piece of lettuce on the bottom. The shake was good too. I'll be back soon to try out other menu items.

    I discovered they are closing after 25 years!!!! And if you…read moreare following, you KNOW I support good businesses closing and new businesses opening! But I am sad... Quality/Quantity - Surprised, but not surprised on the limited selection on tap... Today I got the following: Oktoberfest - Had to support as I will be out of the country (again) for this event. But my daughter will still support. Hazy Brew Free or Die IPA - Several of these, as this is one of their signature beers!! Crispy Cheese Curds - To bring back my Milwaukee experience! I would have preferred a more crispy fry, but it was still so good!! Especially with their beer. Ambiance - Consistent. Huge space, both indoor and outdoor. Lounge and picnic table seating. Service - Tayler/Tyler (sp) was great. I think he has been serving me for years; he still remembers me, lol. But because I am an excessive drinker, I still can't remember his name, so sorry!!!!! Price - $26 Includes 4 taxes and a CA special tax??? + a generous tip. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 2000 and with your two locations. Triple Rock Brewery has created so many owners of other breweries! Congrats on your success at this location since 2015; we have been customers from day 1. This place was hopping, pun intended, when you first opened. The best part was that I discovered you by accident, by just driving by! I am so sad that another brewery is closing... I do my share to support, but there are just too many craft breweries...
