BURGER IS NOT IN THIS REVIEW! Fries were good crispy Onion rings were normal Fried chicken sandwich was bad and could not finish it Hot dog extremely salty and very hard to finish Overall: person at the register was very nice and gave us ranch and water cups when asked. Sides are good but not worth it. Hot dog and fried chicken sandwich are not good. The restaurant was nice and clean. Based on the food, I would not come here again.

The restaurant does feel like a wilderness outpost. Everything is wood or faux wood. Attached to the restaurant is the Parkside Sports Bar. You can order 2 ways onsite. At the register or at 1 of 2 kiosks. There is plenty of inside seating with a small outdoors patio dining area. We ordered: Lemon/Pepper Wings (Large $18.99) - really crispy and juicy. Good size wings. Good flavor. We got ours with Ranch... note, the dressing was a bit on the watery side. Crispy onion ($6.99) - extremely crispy crust... cannot even taste the onion. If you like fried batter, this is for you. Goes well with the Ranch dressing. I got the chili onion burger ($11.99). Messy as heck...decided to go the civilized route... ate it with a knife and for...saving the top bun to mop up any leftover chili. Love the raw white onions and cheese on top. Good flavor, bean to beef ratio is pretty good. Bathrooms are located past the video games... mens room on the right and women's room to the left. Men's room had only 1 sink/ 2 urinals and 2 stalls. They were out of soap when we were there. Room was spacious and clean. The restrooms appeared to be shared by both the bar and restaurant.

First off, when I went to pick up my order, the expo guy almost gave me someone else's order. Then he gives me my order. I drive home and get home to see I was shorted fries. Ordered 3 burgers and 3 fries. Only got 3 burger and 2 fries. That expo guy needs to do better. Super disappointed in outpost burger. I could understand if it was out the door busy, but there was nobody in the store sitting and eating. It's always dead inside, maybe this is my sign.

Double Onion Smash, Onion Smash, Plain Fries and Cheese Sauce Dipper

When you're craving a smash burger, outpost burger is the place to be! We could pretty much eat this everyday! You walk in and there's kiosks to the right to take your order and also you could order at the front. There's plenty of space to sit inside and outside and it's also connected to the bar (so it's a must to go to on game day)! I'm not too much of an onion fan but I understand it's a staple in the smash burger. The onions are nicely grilled and not too overwhelming for someone who's not into onion. I try to divert from the original but I think the original smash is the best. The party is just so nicely seasoned and the cheese is melted to perfection! We've tried the chicken strips and realized it was overly breaded for our liking. They have steak fries and if you need more seasoning, they have Cajun seasoning and chili for extras. Overall comes here and get your smash burgers!!

Grudge Match Smash
Jeff B.

Better than In-N-Out, post. After a day a nearby pumpkin patch our group was hungry for some burgers and stumbled upon Outpost after a quick Yelp search and wow what a find! Scanning their standard menu a couple times I landed on choosing their Special menu item their "Grudge Match Smash" (see photo for details) -- long story short, Corn Flake bartered cheese patty in a smash burger and I'm not exaggerating when I say it might be the best burger I've had in a long time. Patty was flavorful and had a nice little crunch on the edges that I personally look for in a smash burger. Whatever their burger sauce is too was on point. Side story: owner of the restaurant was on the show Grudge Match and actually won -- this burger was from the show. Staff was super friendly and even put on the show on their tv for us to watch while we ate -- great service! Now knowing that this place exists gives us an excuse to come out to Davis once in awhile -- maybe more often now.

VEGETARIAN BEYOND PATTY SUBSTITUTE AVAILABLE! This place was bomb, great onion rings, infinite customization options, super unique specials, and a slamming smash burger. Service was friendly and gave me extra ranch. Interior is spacious and clean. I inhaled two deluxe burgers and even craved a third!

Outdoor patio seating with umbrellas
Peter N.

We ordered takeout (via their website) at around 5pm on a Tuesday evening. The food was ready just shortly after given that it was pretty empty inside. There was plenty of indoor seating, equipped with TVs playing sports and ceiling fans. There were also a few table outside in the patio area with umbrellas. The decor down to the pillars within the restaurant were painted to resemble trees with raccoons living inside them. It was a nice detail to demonstrate the "outpost-rustic" vibes. The burgers were pretty solid. We got the double onion smash and the bacon avo smash burgers. The images made them seem like they were smaller-sized, comparable to shake shack, so we ordered the double in case. However, to our surprise, the burgers were pretty hefty, filling and yummy. Our favorite was the onion smash burger. It fulfilled the foundational standards of a good burger, PLUS grilled onions! It was quite heavy, and would recommend the single patty version if you want to try their other burgers as well. We felt that their bacon avo burger was just alright. It definitely had all of the contents, but it just didn't have the same cohesiveness between all of the elements. From my recollection, the avocados were sliced rather than mashed. I may have preferred them to be mashed and then better integrated to each bite uniformly. BUT this is kind of a personal preference. By the way, the buns were PRETTY TASTY. I believe it was a potato bun, which was fluffy and had a nice chew (hard to explain but just know I was a fan of it!) Just asking around the UC Davis locals and they had never heard of the place. I would definitely recommend this place to try. Treat yourself out to a family-owned business! I thought the burgers had great value, given the portions and quality!

Outpost Burger: Double Onion Smash
Crystal W.

Support family owned local businesses!! High five to Ryan and being cool about my million questions. -fries were made in changed out oil / oil pit from their chicken today (Sunday) -gluten sensitive folks, they take precautions, will wipe down surface before prepping your food -they cook buns and grilled cheese on opposite side of grill Thank goodness for a top notch, inexpensive burger joint where the lines aren't wrapped around blocks. Here they have plenty of parkin a nice outside patio, clean indoor sitting, homemade lemonade, STEAK FRIES (my fave), onion rings where the onion stays in its shell, burgers that aren't picture perfect for instagram but it has that real homemade energy, little uneven and maybe not the prettiest but you know it's about to slap.

I love the logo

Fast service, lots of space. They have beers on tap. Smash burgers were huge! Just one smash for a ~170# dude got me full. I really wanted to eat another one but I'd be dying after. I think the patties were very juicy and the burgers. I personally do like my smash patties a little more flattened and crispy. Sauce was great, might ask for it on the side or ask for lite just so I can control how much is on it. Same thing with pickles, nice and refreshing but might ask for it on the side so I'm not getting it on every bite... I personally like to eat the pickles every few bites so it helps cut the juicy and delicious savoriness of the burger. All in all, solid spot.

Good size and cooked perfectly medium. Fries were on point and beers next door too.

This cute burger spot, themed after a national forest, is next to a bar. You can order by scanning your QR code. I was so hungry that I didn't even take a pic before devouring my smash burger. The burger was great, and the thick-cut fries were a nice side. They also have other types of burgers and sides. I'll definitely be back if I ever find myself in the Davis area.

Chili Bowl and peppered wings
Mia M.

We visited outpost again to try some of their famous burgers and we're weren't disappointed. The burgers are delicious and flavorful. The service was great and they are again open to offer suggestions on what you might be interested in trying. I prefer the plain thick cut fries over the chili fries because I didn't realize they would be so cheesy however overall good food!

Food: 7/10 Service: 8/10 Ambiance :9/10 My husband rated the food 10/10. For me the cheese and sauce was A LOT and overpowered the smash onion patty. I loved that the fries and onion rings were the perfect crisp. Every fry was perfectly crisp and soft inside.

Double outpost (I can't remember the name), bacon guac burger, side of fries.
Tiffany N.

The smash burgers here are so solid. They do smash burgers right: onions are done very well, the crisp on the patty, the soft bun, not overwhelmingly large/impossible to eat. I really can't recommend this place more for burger fans. Chili is alright, in my opinion, but it's very meaty. Fries are steak fries and done quite well. The service is always great. The staff are friendly and (when it's not super crowded), are really good about getting you your order. I remember when this location was a Taiwanese restaurant and another restaurant before Outpost came. I will say, the existing layout works really well for the restaurant. I highly recommend this place!

I've been wanting to try Mendocino Farms since I heard they were opening in Davis, and I finally…read moremade it over to the new location on Russell Boulevard. I'm glad I did because everything was delicious. I ordered the pork belly banh mi and a cup of the Greek lemon chicken and farro soup. The banh mi was definitely the highlight. The pork belly was moist, tender, chewy, and really flavorful, and the crunchy vegetables added a great contrast. The ciabatta was perfectly soft with just a little bit of grilling and worked really well with everything in the sandwich. It was also a pretty substantial portion. I could only finish half and took the other half home for my son to try. The Greek lemon chicken and farro soup was also really good. I would have loved a little more lemon zing to it, but that's really my only critique of the food. Tenisha helped me during my visit and was super friendly and welcoming, which made a great first impression for a new location. My lunch came in just under $30, so it's definitely on the pricier side for a sandwich-and-soup lunch. That said, everything tasted fresh and high quality, with plenty of protein and vegetables, and the pricing seems pretty comparable to the other options in this newly updated shopping area. Overall, this was a great first visit. The food was fresh, delicious, and felt like a healthier lunch option without sacrificing flavor. I've been waiting for Mendocino Farms to open and went a little out of my way to finally try it, and it was absolutely worth the trip. I'll definitely be back.

The restaurant has such a cute, quaint diner feel, with a mix of booths and tables that makes it feel cozy and casual. I also loved the little tile decorations featuring fruits and veggies throughout the space. And the menu is written in chalk, which adds to that old-school neighborhood diner charm. The guy with the piercings at the register was especially nice. He was super helpful when we were ordering, and we loved his smile and attitude. You can tell when someone genuinely enjoys helping people, and he definitely made a great impression on us. We ordered the Mediterranean Crepe, Greek Delight Crepe, and Chorizo & Egg Breakfast Burrito, along with hot chocolate, coffee, and a sweet macchiato. The Mediterranean Crepe was savory and packed with Mediterranean flavors, while the Greek Delight Crepe had that delicious combination of fresh, bright flavors that made every bite enjoyable. The Chorizo & Egg Breakfast Burrito was hearty and satisfying, with flavorful chorizo and fluffy eggs wrapped up in a warm tortilla. Definitely the kind of breakfast that hits the spot after walking around the market! For drinks, we had hot chocolate, coffee, and a sweet macchiato. The hot chocolate was warm and comforting, the coffee was perfect for a morning pick-me-up, and the sweet macchiato gave us a nice little something sweet to sip on with breakfast. Everything came out pretty quickly, especially considering how busy they were, and everything was delicious! It was such a nice stop after the Farmer's Market, and we'll definitely be back. Cute diner atmosphere, good food, quick service, and genuinely friendly people--what's not to love? Definitely a place to add to the list if you're in the area!

Yes, parking can be tough when the students come back, but that's how it always is in Davis. The food here is great! I've had several of their savory crepes and I love them all whereas my cousin always gets one of their sweet crepes. This time I tried the "savory crepe" which had shrimp, pesto, Parmesan, bell peppers, and I think mushrooms if I remember correctly. I LOVED it. So delicious! And so much food! It came with a "half salad" which I got to choose, so I chose the Fuji salad, it was huge! It was the size of a regular salad! All of this for $19. I also got the ginger shot mixed in carrot juice which I loved. You order at the counter and then receive a number and choose your own table, then they bring your order to you when you are ready. Everyone was very nice, and patient, and helpful. We stayed in the restaurant until closing and they never rushed us out. There is tons of seating inside and outside! I will keep coming back here over and over. I love their crepes!

My husband ordered the Super Cluk and I ordered Chicken and Waffles. The first bite of his sandwich he was happy we came here. He said that the chicken was seasoned well, bacon was delicious and the waffle was exactly how he likes it. The egg was the icing on the cake (sandwich). Just the combination he loves. My chicken and waffle was exactly what I was craving. Light and malty taste. Comes with cute bottles of maple syrup. Chicken tenders are delicious and perfectly fried. Also had the strawberry milkshake. So good that there was none left. A staff member came out to check on how we enjoyed the food and I was happy to report that it was delicious. Enjoyed the food and sat outside on a beautiful evening. We will be back with our family to share this gem.

Management is to blame. We won't be going back.
