    Had lunch here with the family since we were craving "burgers". Wife and I had the veggie burgers, my daughter had the hot dogs and we shared fries and onion rings. The food was fresh and well cooked, everyone enjoyed their food. The lady who took our order and made our food was nice and friendly. The place was clean and very diner like. The one complaint was from my daughter about the ice machine being loud, but that could also have been because we were the only ones in the restaurant.

    Yesterday, the crew from Bob's Burgers decided to check out the local competition. We headed over to The Red Onion in Concord. We were welcomed by our fellow burger flippers. The burgers were delicious, and the service was terrific! The onion rings were so good, too! Seven of us really enjoyed our burgers; we were chowing down within ten minutes of ordering. This is an old-school diner with a great vibe. I'm adding this spot to my regular rotation. Let's show this hamburger joint some love! They made great burgers and took wonderful care of this crazy crew!

    Cheeseburger fries and onion rings

    Was in concord and looked up burger spots near me and this place came up. Looked homey diner style and thought to give it a try. Super clean and nice people seems family owned . Order ready less than 15 minutes . Daughter and wife loved it . Good portion would come back

    Get in my bellyyy!!!

    Another well deserved 5 star review update for one of my absolute favorite Bay Area burger spots! I love this place with all of my damn heart. The Red Onion is my favorite burger spot in CoCo county, period! I can talk all damn day about how delicious their burgers are, but another big reason why I've consistently come here for years is because of the excellent service. Silvia and her family are some of the kindest and most hardworking people in the game. I have so much respect for them and their business. I stopped by to pick up dinner this past week, and I was pleasantly surprised to see Silvia (the owner) working there that night. She usually works at the El Cerrito location now, so it was nice to see and chat with her. Her daughter was there too and she's always been super pleasant. They always remember me even if it's been months since I've come in. There have been times when I've come in on my cheat days when I'm dieting, and we always talk about our weight loss journeys and dieting. I feel like this family is an old friend at this point. It makes me so happy to see them when I come in. What more can I say about their burgers that I haven't already said time and time again? They're just friggin' scrumptious. Huge, meaty, juicy, and fresh. And every single damn time too. This is one of the only spots that I'd prefer over an In N Out burger. And if you're a diehard In N Out fan like myself, then you know that's really saying a lot. The consistency is just bananas. They've got it down to a science. Burgers and fries are just too damn good here. Always grateful to have this wonderful burger spot around, and I'm so glad that they didn't fall victim to COVID. And, now I've just worked myself up a craving for one of their burgers. Guess I better get up and order me one! Mmmmm :).

    Can't really see but hours at 10am to 5pm 7 days a week.

    FULL DISCLOSURE: Only reason this doesn't get a 5 star is because the business hours are inaccurate and not updated. Other than that the food is amazing! Essentially the place is a high quality food version of nations. Juicy burgers, big in size and amazing French fries. Very old school feel but it's comforting. Reasonably priced and overall a great place to eat.. Please fix your hours!!! *picture for reference*

    I grew up on Red Onion Burgers and ate at the original one in Pinole. I moved and saw one in El Cerrito that was closer to home and went there several. Recently, I found this Red Onion in Concord. I swung by for lunch and got a cheeseburger and an order of fries. My buddy went for a cheeseburger and onion rings. The burger comes on a nice fresh, soft and chewy bun with a fresh not frozen hamburger patty, lettuce, tomatoes, red onions, American cheese, miracle whip and mustard. It is a very fresh and tasty burger. I think they put less produce and the patty is a bit smaller than the Red a Onion in El Cerrito or Pinole but still a very good burger. The fries were hot, fresh and crunchy. Sadly the onion rings seem to have a heavier older oil taste but crunchy. Red Onion is on my go to burger list, it looks OG but it is very clean, comfortable setting and the people are very nice. If you are in Concord, stop by for a fresh tasty burger and nicely cooked fries. I'll be going again.

    """salmon""" patty

    Thoroughly mediocre. The salmon burger we ordered arrived with a patty that seemed to contain some kind of fish but was certainly not pink (as salmon is) and had mysterious other stuff in it. Cheese on the burger was disgusting, shake was bad and didn't match our order (ordered chocolate malt, got a plain vanilla shake), fries were pretty good though. Attached picture of the ostensible salmon patty, which doesn't look or taste like salmon.

    Just basic, good grub. Not too fancy, just cheeseburgers like dad used to make on the patio on Sunday afternoon. Highly recommended.

    A bit expensive but clean and fresh. We enjoyed the food. Onion rings were okay. The shakes were good.

    I had a day off from work today and I had this place on my radar. I heard about a special promo…read morethey are running until the end of this week for free fries, so what perfect time to give it a try. I came at opening, so I didn't have to wait in line. I ordered via the Kiosk, but the fries had me scan a QR code and answer some questions. After that, I waited for about 10 ish minutes before I got my food. The ladies were very nice and helpful, and they took care into preparing my food. Garden Burger: I enjoy the impossible meat when I can and this burger was huge. Besides the patty, I also got avocado, the other standard fixings and a fried eggplant. They also had mayo and bbq sauce as my spread. I don't know how, but I was able to eat the whole thing in one setting. It was juicy (as juicy an impossible burger can be) and delicious. The sauce held everything together and the extra spicy mayo I used for dipping brought the extra heat I needed. Overall, a delicious burger. Bulgogi Fries: This was complementary due to their promo and this was a huge portion. They made the bulgogi meat fresh to order and the same with my fries. Their plating was phenomenal. Overall, the fries were crispy and the sauce and meat were delicious. Overall, I can see myself coming here again. I should try a normal burger or I can try their chicken burger next time.

    Food was overall pretty good. I ordered the Seoul burger and the bulgogi fries. I wouldn't mind…read moreeating it again but it's not special enough for me to drive out for it. I called to order ahead so that I wouldn't have to wait and while I was told it would take 10 minutes or so to be ready, I waited an additional 10-15 after I got there and paid so I don't think calling ahead saved me any time. It seems like it's mainly street parking. I came here on a weekday and didn't have problems finding a spot but it may be harder during busy times. Small pet peeve: I wish they closed the boxes with my food in the to go bag. I assumed they were closed so I tossed the receipt in there not realizing the food was completely exposed.

    Diggers is a local hidden gem. My barber, a concord native, stated that Diggers Diner had the best…read moreburgers in town. With such a statement, I had to give it a try. I ordered the "20" burger as was the waitresses recommendation since it had a little spice and some garlic in it. I also ordered the garlic cheese fries, which were good but not as good as the burger. Fries: 6/10 burger: 11/10 I was blown away. The atmosphere was giving local gem too. Quaint local vibes, cool spray paint murals, old school quippy signs and classic country American overtones. I will return for your tremendous burge

    My wife and I had breakfast here because it was recommended by the Hyundai rep while we waited for…read morethe car to get maintenance done. We were immediately seated. Our orders were taken in a timely manner. The waitress was nice and helpful. We waited about 15 to 20 mins for our food. We were told that there were issues with the kitchen staff, new staff being trained, etc. Honestly, she stated it was a bad day for them, so we should have been told that prior to ordering so we could have decided to go somewhere else. When the food came, my bacon was burnt (I asked for crispy, not burnt), and my French fries were cold. How does food that takes so long to find out come out cold and wrong? My wife's biscuit was together in the top and broken up on the bottom AND served on a dirty plate. We sent all the above back. He country potatoes had no seasoning on them, and the omelet looked on cooked on the egg portion. The food and cheese that was supposed to be cooked in the inside because it is an omelet was not put together as an omelet. It was like the egg just served as a blanket. She did not eat the majority of her food. This does not happen often. The biscuit was good the 2nd time. My bacon came back the same way, I ate around the burnt areas. The bacon was salty. The manager or owner (I'm unsure of who he was. He did not introduce himself) walked around asking how everything was. I was very honest. He took off 20% from the bill. We will not be going back.
