Have passed by here a few times in my life and barely went to this location. I recently went here two times... and I gotta say it was worth the trip. It was a lowkey spot and it seemed to be a sit in turned take-out after COVID. Really small and neat with stickers of local businesses. I ordered a double bacon cheeseburger, fries, and a chocolate shake, and everything was fresh and made to order. Fries were not cold and leave salt and pepper packets to your liking. The burger was fresh and didn't feel frozen. The shake was nothing to brag about but it hit the spot. The service was 10/10 with polite staff! The ambiance was amazing too! read more

Ordered a mushroom cheesesteak, a cheeseburger, and garlic fries. Mushroom cheesesteak was decent. Maybe wish it was a little bigger. 3.8/5 Cheeseburger was good. Standard order comes with Miracle Whip, I was too chicken to try it and went with regular mayonnaise instead. I'm willing to come back and give Miracle Whip a try, but if I comeback, I'm definitely getting a double burger or trying a Phila Burger. 4.1/5 Garlic fries were ok. Order came with a dollop of minced garlic, would have preferred if it had been tossed for a more even coating. 3.3/5 The absolute highlight of this visit was the service. Being my first visit, the cashier was incredibly patient and took extra time to go through the menu with me and giving recommendations. But this was not an isolated incident. In the short 10 minutes I was there, I watched as this cashier welcome back a old regular, give a child a small to-go cup of ice cream, and patiently work with a customer as they were experiencing technical payment difficulties. Phila Burger is shining light of what a local, small business should be in a community. I will gladly be returning. read more

I haven't eaten here in years. Was really excited to go back there when I was in the area. First thing I noticed was that they're serving you at a plexiglass window now. The cheesesteak sandwiches are still on point. Don't remember it being so small but nevertheless it's still delicious. The milkshakes 10/10. I will have to get fries or two cheesesteak sandwiches next time because one isn't filling enough. read more

A burger place that has served the Richmond/San Pablo area for years!!! Been coming since I was in High school, and the food never disappoints. Bacon cheeseburger with fries or Philly cheese steak are my favorite! Besides the food the owner is super chill, friendly, and attentive. The place is typically pretty busy and crowd of people line up during lunch hours. Feels amazing to see the place thriving. I do miss being by able to go inside, sit, eat, talk, and hang out. Used to love eating and watching the cooks work their magic and watch everyone put love into their work. read more

Amazing casual burger shop that cannot be missed! The service is so kind and helpful. And the menu is simple but don't let that fool you. What they do they do well! I ordered the phila burger which has pastrami on it in addition to the regular cheeseburger fixings... I was blown away by EVERY bite. How? What? Why?!!! I don't understand why there's never a line out the window! So good, savory, just the right amount of delicious pastrami blended in, the cheese is something else... I didn't even need any fries. I was in heaven. Do not disturb. Go here. Now. Best kept secret in the Bay y'all... read more

Solid in flavor, small in size. It's a ToGo spot, so if you hungry you'll be eating in the car. Homie at the window was accommodating tho, for sure. Phila Steak had like a slice of pastrami in there, it was aight. Woulda bumped up, but the sandwich was gone in two bites aha. read more

I've been coming here for years! It's always great. The owner, Sam, is a friend to everyone. My family's favorite is the cheesesteak with mushrooms and sweet peppers. We even ordered it for my son's birthday party. Cut in 1/3's it was the perfect size. It was a huge hit! The parents were so happy not to have to eat the same ole pizza. read more

Always friendly service. The cheesesteaks are always tasty (though could be larger) the garlic fries are well topped and the milkshakes are thick (could use malt as a flavor). Order ahead!! read more

One time I ordered burgers to go from this place and brought it to my friends over at my house and they were impressed and had to know where I got it from. These are not your ordinary burgers and are staple in the city of Richmond. You can't consider yourself a member of the city unless you make a stop here. read more

Finally tried this spot and it did not disappoint!!!! Service was great and quick! Ordered two cheese burgers, fries and a cheese steak hoagie and it was only $30, which to me is a great price point. The size of the burgers was worth the price point a well. Thick patty soft bun and red onion. I absolutely loved it. Star of the show was the cheese steak hoagie. The bun, meat and cheese were literally married to each other I enjoyed it I will definitely be back. Side note it's an order up and take to go window. No dining inside. read more

Can't believe this place is down the street and I had never heard of it. Chocolate milkshake - REAL ice cream. Nice size. Don't cheat yourself, treat yourself Philaburger - My partner said it was delicious. I didn't have any but it was a very nice size and looked yummy Hoagie - delicious. Perfect size. Juicy. Great flavor. Chili cheese fries - we only needed 1 order for the 2 of us. It's classic chili cheese fries. Nothing special but it's exactly what you'd expect. The staff was great - very friendly. Will be returning. read more

Man, it's great this awesome, burger spot is still around. Probably been 10 years since I was last there as I no longer live in the area. But today found myself in Richmond and had to stop in. So glad I did. First, it's still a family owned, family run business (son and mom are still there and are personable like I remember). Being nice and personable is a bonus because the real star- the five star here - is the food. The Phila Burger still is still delicious (and reasonably priced). Hands down just yummy, yummy for your tummy! They are working on a nice addition, a covered outdoor seating area. So go support a local biz while doing your taste buds and stomach a solid and head on over and grab a Phila Burger....ENJOY! read more

I can't believe I've never been here! I've had it bookmarked for a long time and never got the chance to check it out because I'm never in the Richmond area. However, I got my nails done and it was literally next door, so I decided to call in for pick up. I ordered the cheesesteak and chicken hoagie (with everything on it) and two garlic fries. The cheesesteak was really good! It reminded me of the cheesesteaks at Great Steak that used to be at hilltop mall. That was my favorite cheesesteak place and I could not find any place that makes it that good! I like lettuce, mayo, and grilled onions in my cheesesteaks that's why hehe. The fries were fresh and full of garlic flavor! My boyfriend doesn't eat beef/pork, so he got the chicken hoagie and he loved it as well! I loved the cheesesteak and had to tell my sisters about it! So I came back for the second time that week and ordered more! The owner, I assume, was very friendly and nice! He offered me two free cups of soda while I waited the first time I visited and complimented my nails lol. When I came back the second time that week, he remembered me and said he recognized my hello kitty nails lol. He's very sweet and threw in some extra condiments and a drink. This is now my go-to spot for cheesesteaks! read more

Phila burger! First time here and it wasn't bad! Ordered a steak hoagie with everything on it and some garlic fries. The garlic fries sucked. Greasy and not super flavorful. Tasted like the fries at a county fair. The steak hoagie was good though! Definitely on the smaller side but it's good to know for next time cause I ain't sharing! lol. read more

The best burgers here! I always come here when I want a burger and fries. I live in Pinole so it's a little bit of a drive. But well worth it for me. The service is awesome and the guy taking the orders is super friendly. They are super fast with their orders every time I have gone there. Food is always fresh and on point. read more

Delicious mushroom burger, juicy, cooked as requested (medium). Generous portion of fries, hot and fresh. Will be back whenever I'm in the area. Eat in your car, it's take out only. Good thing I had wipes in the car as this is a messy burger! Near Curious Flora, they took over from Annie's annuals. read more

The food was great and service is nice. The place has a chill atmosphere. The place is more friendly to people with cars.

This place is a Richmond gem, and let me tell you, Sam is always in high spirits! This place has become a staple on 23rd, and it's pretty easy to see why. First off, the fries portion at Phil's Burger Station is no joke - it's enough to satisfy 2 people to share. Personally, I can't get enough of their chicken or steak cheesesteak. The seasoning is always on point, making every bite a flavorful punch. Now, let's talk burgers. Phil's Burger Station knows how to hit that burger craving just right. Just a heads up, though - if you're not a fan of heavy mayo, don't hesitate to ask for it light. They tend to be a bit generous with it. They actively support local businesses and events, creating a vibrant atmosphere for their customers. Swing by the window area and you might just discover your new favorite spot in town. I do miss the indoor seating pre- COVID. read more

Recently went in to order Bacon Cheeseburgers Burgers with garlic fries. I have to say they are as delicious as always or more.

Phila Burger Station - Such an adorable idea for cup holders! - Burgers Near Me - Richmond, California

I been going to this place as a kid in high school. Every time I go back it's like being that kid again. Their burgers and their hoagies are always so damn good!!! And the owner is there all the time he's such a nice guy and it shows that he cares for the food he sells to our community. Wish this place had a seating area like before(before the pandemic). If you're in the area this place is a must try. read more

I really can't get enough of Phila burger! It's definitely our go-to spot for burgers, my son and I just can't get enough of them. They're so fresh, flavorful, and downright delicious. The only downside is that I wish they would offer more French fries. read more

This review is long overdue! I've been eating here as far back as I can remember being a Richmond native. Sam the owner, is always super friendly and Phila Burger is a staple in Richmond for the best burgers, shakes, garlic fries, and the best hoagies I've ever eaten. I ate my way through all the cheesesteak shops the locals recommended in Philadelphia, but nothing compares the the fresh ingredients Phila Burger uses for their simple but delicious menu. If you're craving a burger or hoagie, this is the place to get it! read more

Phila Burger Station - Beef Teriyaki Plate. Def. Got my portion sized - Burgers Near Me - Richmond, California

Got recommended this by a coworker who lives in Richmond and didn't do me wrong. You can tell a place's food is gonna be good when they have a central location with no seating. I had a couple variations of Philly cheesesteaks and milkshakes and they were all fire. Not huge portions but fills you enough and the quality makes up for the size. read more

I have tried many burgers in restaurants but none have compared to here! Hands down the best burger!

This will undoubtedly be added to my list of hood hoagies. I must admit that I prefer the food at Mills a little bit more, however Phila is closer to my house and unlike Mills accepts different forms of payment. Also like Mills, when ordering you need to keep your head on a swivel BB read more

Been here a couple of times with my husband who introduced me to this place. Each time, we've gotten the Phila burger with the pastrami. The burger is huge!! The pickles complement the pastrami so well. The fries are perfectly crisp but you do need to add the salt and pepper that they give you which is kind of nice so you can make them as salty as you want. There's no where to sit so we always sit in our car but the people who work there or own it are always nice and fast! read more

Phila Burger Station - Philaburger - Burgers Near Me - Richmond, California

After the first bite I thought, "this is my new go-to." As I approached the last bites, I thought "this local treasure must be protected and I pledge my sword to them." Go here. I am always on the lookout for a good local burger, and this place did not disappoint in terms of quality, service, or price. What I paid for my cheeseburger with everything (except mayo, ugh) and generous order of fries wouldn't even get you the burger a lot of places; let alone a burger as good. The service at the window was super-friendly and fast. Takeout only. read more

Phila Burger Station came into my radar when my husband read an article about who had the best burgers in the area. You won't find truffle burgers here, Phila makes old school burgers which have their place in the world - and are king in mine. Cooked to order, they are drip-down-your chin delicious. I've tried their cheeseburger, mushroom burger, and their Philaburger with pastrami, grilled onions and swiss, and each of them were well prepared and packaged to go. They have a couple dozen options of burgers/hoagies/sandwiches, even a veggie burger on their menu, also teriyaki rice plates. There is an option for carnivores and vegetarians alike. Service is friendly, ordering is fast and efficient. There is ample parking. Our wait for food was quite short, maybe five minutes at most. They have Covid protocols in place - social distancing, touchless payment via Apple or Android Pay. They also take CC payments. read more
