The food and service was lovely. For the appetizers, we ordered from the happy hour menu. We got pork belly skewers (4/5), onion rings & parmesan fries (5/5), wings (4/5), calamari (5/5), and German sausage (5/5). For the entrees we got the London bus (5/5), chick'n bureau (5/5) and pad kee mao (5/5). This place is such a gem. I would definitely come back. Only thing that sucks is that parking can be difficult as it is steeet parking. read more

Not crowded, great music, big screen television, nice bathrooms. A bar, great service from the get go. I had the chick n bureau with regular fries. You don't have to ask for extra napkins either. read more

The Bureau 510 - chick"n Bureau - Burgers Near Me - Alameda, California

The Bureau 510 is a hidden gem in Alameda serving various burgers, gourmet sandwiches (soft shelled crab!), fish and chips, salads and a few Chef Specials of Thai, Korean and Japanese dishes. Review is for the London Bus Burger, Louie Louie (soft-shelled crab) and onion rings! The Bureau 510 gets their burgers right: lightly seasoned, not overly handled so you can feel the wonderful texture along with some major juiciness. Also a big plus is their meat-to-bun ratio so you get a nice bite of burger with the sturdy yet soft bun. The Louie Louie looked amazing. My 2 friends ordered that and devoured. It was lightly battered, not greasy and a nice size. Onion rings were house-made and equally light with a beer batter. Delicious! Staff very welcoming, friendly and checked on us a couple of times. Menu has plenty of options to choose from. The Bureau 510 did a great job (has me craving more!) this visit so will definitely return to try items like the fish and chips, clam chowder and Chef Specials. Pricing is in line with other like places. Plenty of metered street parking. Another location in Emeryville I'll need to check out :) read more

Located on the busy webster st, parking is always hard to find. We managed to find something a block or two away in a residential neighborhood. We were seated right away, no wait. Only a few other diners inside. I ordered the beyond burger with onion rings. Onion rings were perfectly crispy. Beyond burger tasted good. No complaints from me! Service was quick and friendly, would come again! read more

Some of the best fish and chips ive had in a while. Generous proportions and the fries were great too!

I have eaten here a few times, once for take out and the rest eat in. Cute inside, small but plenty of seating. Even a few seats at the bar/counter. It is a bar, with some wine and beer options. I can't remember for sure but I do not believe there is hard alcohol. The food is their highlight. Fresh ingredients, plenty of options, and a menu with a fusion of American and Asian. I don't eat fish but I appreciate their variety of fish option. They were nice enough to allow me to substitute chicken on the salmon blue cheese salad, and they didn't over charge me. It was an amazing salad. My favorite part was they didn't use any ice berg lettuce. It was a similar to a Cobb salad but with green leaf, red leaf and arugula lettuce. Perfection. I ate every bite. They can be pricey, but for a fresh meal it's worth the splurge. read more

This is a quaint little burger place. They do serve lots of other things too though. The NFL game was playing so that was nice to be able to sit and eat while watching. The service was fast. We got greeted and seated immediately. I ordered the bacon blue cheese burger and it was probably the juiciest burger I've had in a really long time! For the sides that accompanied my burger I chose Parmesan fries (I would have liked more Parmesan flavor in them as it was on the lighter side) and coleslaw (so delish I could have eaten an entire bowl of it). We also ordered a grilled chicken sandwich (not pictured) and it was stacked and also delicious! Wr would definitely eat here again. read more

The standout for me was the service - our server was incredibly sweet and attentive. Even though it was busy on a Friday night, we were seated right away and our food came out quickly. My burger was delicious and very filling, and I ordered it with a side of onion rings. The batter was a bit thick for my taste, but overall it was a great experience, and I'd definitely come back to try a different burger. read more

Love this place, been here twice. The burger was very tasty and very reasonable. Burger was 16-20, if you add fries, it is 4$ with the very generous portion. They are not busy at all at 1130 am. I hope they are doing well. Only one cook and one waiter. read more

I visited Bureau 510 multiple times during a work trip to Alameda. As a vegetarian I was really excited to see many options on the menu. You could sub almost any sandwich with a beyond burger or tofu. Both times I ended up getting the Coop de Ville but with a beyond burger. The flavors that paired together in the sandwich were absolutely delicious. I also got parmesan fries on the side which were crisp and delicious. They also provide you with a spicy aioli sauce which was yummy and not too spicy. My friends ended up trying some of the other meat based dishes (BLT and a Chicken Bureau) and they all were very happy with their food as well. The servers were all very nice and the food came out promptly. The interior was clean and relaxed, and was a little reprieve from the busy street outside. I would highly recommend giving this place a try in the area. read more

Myself and my team (Inmotion: Electric Unicycle) came to this after a hard day of working at an event near by; Electrify Expo. This place was able to have 12 ppl as well. The food looked great. I ordered a kids grilled cheese with fruit (kind of wish they added a variety of fruit instead off just one fruit to which was blueberries). It was also supposed to come with an apple juice and unfortunately did not get it. Most order different burgers and everyone told me they loved how it was cooked. Many also go fries on the side. The drink options were great. The atmosphere was ok and could do with some better music options. read more

Compromise! Great place when friends want American food, some friends want Asian food...The Bureau 510 does both quite well! Ambience is modern, earthy, and clean....service is friendly. Everything was good, just no big wow factor. $22 Fried Chicken Special...two pieces of lightly fried chicken, a huge leg and meaty thigh piece, yum! came with a small piece of naan bread, sticky rice, and small bowl of curry and some pickled vegetables. Definitely a weird combination, but I enjoyed it! I would've like to have a least one more piece of chicken for this price, but that might just be a "me" problem because I eat a lot. $20 Fish N Chips...four long small pieces of deep friend fish, delicious! Nice and crispy! The fries were nice, nothing special. read more

It's a nice place and the service was fine, but I wish we had a better food experience here. My husband usually enjoys his food. Even if he doesn't, he'll find something positive to say. He did not like the Louie Louie sandwich at all. He had a puzzled look on his face every time he took a bite. I guess it wasn't what he expected. I didn't care for the sweet potato fries. They were dry and tasteless. We both didn't like the calamari. A squeeze of lemon and the sauce couldn't save it. read more

Came in today with my husband and we got burgers (mine was a beyond burger), beer, onion rings, parm fries and a lychee martini. So absolutely delicious, everything. And the servers were sweet and prompt. I wish I wasn't so hungry that I skipped taking pictures because everything was literally perfect. The lychee martini had two peeled lychee fruits on a garnish stick which was such a nice touch. My husband is picky with restaurants and he rated them a 9/10. The one critique I have is I wish they had more comfortable chairs. Anyway, highly recommend and will be back! read more

Very cute spot! Staff are really nice! The place is not busy at all. Great options on the menu! I loved the clam chowder here! It was full of clams potatoes and bacon. Super thick and rich soup. I was really impressed and I'm picky with clam chowder. Fish and chips were good not the best I everhad. Light batter and not oily at all. The fish were smaller fillets- I'm use to big chunks of fish. Homemade tartar sauce was good! I usually hate tartar sauce bc other establishments put onions and I hate onions. I really likes their tartar sauce and siracha mayo Kids loved the garlic fries chicken tenders fruits and juice. Total $70 before tip. I would def come back! read more

I kept walking by this place and finally went in (thank you to the other Yelp reviewers who posted a lot of photos)! Came here and it was pretty empty when we walked in, then a few different parties came in after. The ambiance was a bit quiet and chill in the beginning. Got a little louder with the additional parties, but was never super loud by any means. Staff and Service: - The staff was nice - they brought us waters and menus immediately - I love when the staff is honest about size of dishes and if it's enough to share or not Food: - No. 27 Burger: the burger was tasty and comes with coleslaw and your choice of fries or salad. The burger was a bit greasy / juicy, so the bottom bun was soggy from the beginning - Spiral fries (same as curly fries): could have been cooked a bit longer to get that typical curly fry crispiness, but was still tasty Miscellaneous: - Parking is available via metered street parking - There is space for smaller groups and larger groups - TV was playing with a football game on - Two unisex bathrooms located in the back read more

I would always see this restaurant when taking my Maltese to the groomers at Under One Woof a couple blocks away. I was having a business lunch in the area and decided to give this place a try. We had a great experience. I had the burger and added a side of fries (which was Ala carte). It was delicious. My manager had the fish and chips. She really enjoyed them and her dish looked really good. I definitely want to try the fish and chips next time. The service was nice and friendly. The decor provided a tavern like ambiance and the had a big screen television, too. I'll definitely be back:) read more

We had some really good burgers here awhile ago. I've only been once. Service was also friendly and efficient. The only thing that was off-putting for me was the extremely strong smell of ammonia. It's like we came in right after a deep cleaning. I'm not sure if that's the norm for this spot or if it just happened to be that day, but it detracted from the dining experience because my tastebuds are very strongly affected by smells. I might try going another time to see if that was just a one-off experience. read more

I've been a fan of this place for quite some time. While I haven't tried most of the menu from the things I have tried its amazing. My personal favorite is the "chicken katsu curry" its so good that i cant stop ordering it and its preventing me from trying anything else. Other than the food the staff is very nice and welcoming. I have yet to experience any problems with the staff and have never seen any problems. The atmosphere is very calm almost like a coffee shop. read more

Had the BBB but swapped blue cheese for some cheddar and a side salad. Also did a chicken katsu sandwich with Parmesan fries. This isn't a salad joint so I'm not going to knock them for it but they use one of the worst balsamic dressings... sour, obviously from a bottle, and artificial tasting. The burger was next level. She didn't ask how we wanted the burger but it came out ever so slightly pink which is just the way I like it. read more

Call me a new Regular (5/5 Stars) One of my new favorite spots in Alameda! I came here twice in a week for lunch. This place used to be a Vietnamese restaurant, but now they serve a delightful variety of food. I initially saw a friend post about their Fish and Chips. Although I'm not a huge fan of fish and chips, I decided to check this place out. When I walked in and saw their menu, I was pleasantly surprised to find a fusion of dishes to choose from. The Asian in me couldn't resist going for a rice plate with fried chicken. I ordered the Hatyai Fried Chicken, and it was a delicious combination of crispy fried chicken served with sticky rice, roti, curry, and a sweet & sour sauce. The flavors were incredible, and the dish was absolutely amazing! The portion was generous, and I ended up taking home half of my plate. Two days later, I returned to try what I had originally come for--the Fish & Chips. WOW. Just wow! The portion was huge, but it tasted so good that I ate it all in one sitting. I was hoping to have some leftovers, but it was too delicious to save for later. I will definitely be returning here again soon. The ambiance of the place is cozy and welcoming, with a casual vibe that makes you feel right at home. The decor is simple yet charming, and the staff are friendly and attentive, adding to the overall pleasant experience. I highly recommend this place to any locals in Alameda or anyone visiting for a meal. The prices are great, the service is amazing, and the food is outstanding! read more

Craving burgers we decided to give this place a try. When I saw they had a vegan pozole on the menu I knew exactly what I had to order... and wow I was super impressed by the layers of flavor and the perfectly cooked creamy hominy. I also had a side of onion rings, they were delicious and hearty. My guy ordered the burger and curly fries and all were excellent as well. Service was friendly and attentive. The atmosphere was a bit cold, too bright, akward interior design, lack of artwork and lack of warmth. But the food and service make up for the food-court-mall feel of the place. read more

Went there for lunch on a Friday afternoon. (We were going to the Pinball Museum afterwards and that was located the next block over and across the street, so very convenient). Such a lovely mom and pop place. My husband and our friend both had the burgers- they were huge and tasty! They were able to do a lettuce wrap for my husband and did a great job wrapping the burger, so it did not fall apart or drip all over the place. Our friend also had a burger and it was so big, he couldn't finish it-he enjoyed it. I had the katsu chicken curry and I thought it was very good. Huge portions of chicken, rice and salad. We also ordered fries and onion rings for the table. Again, very generous portions of each. There were a lot of choices that we wanted to try, but will have to come back again. Fried chicken, fish and chips (which another table ordered and it looked good!) Korean beef ribs... The place was very clean, bathroom was immaculate and our server (owner?) was very friendly. Food came out timely. Place is dimly lit, but made the place feel cooler as it was a hot day. Street parking was fairly easy, and there is an off street lot across the street. Metered parking. Glad we found this place! read more

I 1st saw this place on IG as a good place to eat in ALAMEDA. I came for burger and beer. Ended up with Hard Cider and their shrimp and spaghetti and it was soooo good. I tried not to eat the whole thing, but just sitting here with it in front of me...... see attached photo read more

We came here on a whim Monday night and were blown away by the place. We anticipated that it was just a "burger place" but it is more than that. The menu is surprisingly diverse with burger supported by Asian fare and a good selection of beer, sake, and unique cocktails. We got the BBB burger the Good Morning burger both of which were delicious. The flavors are what I would call well balanced and concise. They don't try to reinvent the hamburger but fuse familiar elements to make a simple and well polished burger that will definitely satisfy a craving. The presentation was spectacular as well. My overall feeling was that this place takes pride in their craft even when it is just a burger. Try it. read more

The Bureau 510 - BBB B-B-B Burger - Burgers Near Me - Alameda, California

Bureau 510 seemed relatively new to this neighborhood. I never noticed it before, but came across it while browsing through Yelp for dinner options. I made a reservation the morning of just in case there was going to be a wait, but it seemed like reservations aren't necessary yet. We came here on a Friday night, around 6-7PM, and there was a few tables filled. Maybe Bureau 510 is relatively new, or competition is higher around this area, not quite sure. It's almost got a diner style vibe to it, but not quite. A bit unique. I came with my partner and he wasn't hungry, but he ended up ordering a Belgian Waffle With Vanilla Gelato as a small bite. Happy hour was up till 6:30PM, so I was able to squeeze in a Blackberry Mojito. I also opted for the Louie, Louie! with a side salad for an additional $3.50. I'm not much of a drinker, so I'm not quite sure how good the Blackberry Mojito is compared to other Mojitos. The initial taste is fine, but I can only describe the after-taste a bit like medicine. My partner thinks it may have been the taste of whatever sweetener they may have used in the drink. As for my Louie, Louie, it was quite loaded! A big sandwich, but not too heavy. The Louie, Louie comes with fried soft shell crab, butter lettuce, avocado, alfalfa, louie dressing, on ACME bun. It's not heavy, but kind of filling because of how big the bun is. They give a good portion of all the ingredients, so I'd say it's well proportioned. It's good, but not amazing. I thought the fried soft shell crab chunks had a bit too much flour on the outside. I liked the addition of alfalfa, but I think it's missing a bit of a refreshing aspect to offset the fried parts. My partner enjoyed his Belgian Waffle With Vanilla Gelato. He commented that the Gelato was good! Service was nice and friendly. We were checked on a couple times, but dinner was fairly quick. I wouldn't mind coming back if I was around the area and feeling for a burger or sandwich, but I probably wouldn't go out of my way to try this again. read more

First time here thanks to my Yelp community. Mom and I came together and both enjoyed our food. Mom got the BLT with parmesan fries and after 2 bites, said she would definitely come back. I got the BBB burger with the beyond patty, no bacon, no lettuce and OMG, I will for sure order it again. I got the onion rings which were also delicious but would order the parmesan fries next time as they were very good. The atmosphere is very casual and staff very pleasant. Armando greeted us immediately upon entering, sitting us and continued checking on us after we received our food. The old skool music they play is great. I will definitely return. Our bill was right under $43 for both burgers fries & onion rings. Armando, Thank you for your great customer service and suggestion. read more

The Bureau 510 - BBB w/Beyond Burger patty, no bacon - Burgers Near Me - Alameda, California

Good food. Good service. Good atmosphere. Burger meat seemed great - pass on the fish and chips. $1.39 credit card fee seemed cheap. My fish and chips were good. The meat quality wasn't anything special and I'm sure I could pull something out of the freezer at home and it would be just as good. Fries didn't seem fresh and were not burning hot - they were beautifully seasoned though. I think one of the biggest problems is I compare it to The Sports Page in Brooks, CA and compared to that the whole dish fell flat. I had a taste of the burger. The meat on the burgers was above average. It was cooked medium and was tender and juicy. Burger flavor was great but for a couple dollars more I prefer Scolaries. The bun was ok and butter lettuce fresh but the restaurant I mentioned above, The Sportspage, puts together a much nicer burger with toasted bun and even stamped with their logo. Service was good - two guys working there were efficient. Very pleasant personalities. The atmosphere was good. It was even beautifully decorated for Christmas - but I need either tall ceilings or windows - I don't think this place had either. If I remember right there were standard height eight feet ceilings and for me its tough to be in a space like that since I'm used to living in Victorians with 10 foot ceilings. When I walked in the first thing I noticed about the restaurant is that it smelled like an old historic building. I prefer when I walk into a restaurant that it smells like nothing or has intense aroma from fresh food being cooked. I think one of the many reasons I keep going back to Famous Daves is the nice BBQ smoke that lures you in from the parking lot and gets you in the food eating mood. I had a hot tea. I didn't notice many no caffein no sugar options. I've been off alcohol no for a week and maybe that was what was wrong with my whole experience. I feel like this ambiance was good for a bar and if I had 2 - 3 beers I would have loved it. read more

Nothing too strong. Service was nice. Always on the lookout and provided good service. The inside is spacious and hold a good amount of people.

Came here for lunch with coworkers on a Monday and was impressed by the quality of their food. I had the fried chicken sandwich which was the perfect combination of fresh ingredients and sauces. The portions of the food are also big enough to take some to go! The coleslaw and pickles were a super tasty compliment and the coleslaw had its own custom sauce that was amazing. I also had the Parmesan fries which was portioned as big as the burger. Not only was the food good the service matched! They made sure to take care of our party and the food was put together well and came out in a short time. Glad to try this spot and will be back! read more

Evening out for a quick reasonably priced dinner. Selected TB510 based on Yelp reviews. This was a solid choice. Everyone at the restaurant was extremely friendly and had excellent suggestions. The Staff is very interactive with you. Armando was our server and he was awesome. Good selections on the menu and they made substitutions as needed for our dietary restrictions. Food is very flavorful, arrived timely, temperature appropriate with excellent portions. We will definitely be back. If you're a red wine drinker they have something by the glass you. I usually take my own and pay a corkage fee or have a cocktail. I thought they had a full bar but was mistaken. I Was able to find a wine by the glass that was enjoyable to me. read more
