Reviews Best Burger

Simple yet delicious burger option in Hayward. Ordered the Hawaiian burger with added mushroom with their fries... ready when promised and was still warm by the time i got home...fries were still crispy! Supporting small, local business during these times is important! Call in your order and expect a 10-12 minute wait as its made fresh to order.

This place is a real hole in the wall, in the best way possible. Upon entering the establishment I was greeted with a delightful aroma of grilled onions. You get a certain feeling when walking into little eateries such as this one. A feeling that despite the peeling wallpaper and cracked tile, the food is going to outshine any imperfections in the building’s decor by a mile. I proceeded to order a Chicken Philly, and boy am I ever so glad I did. As I opened the brown paper bag, the same one you pulled your ham sandwich out during lunch in 2nd grade, that I was witnessing true craftsmanship. The sandwich breathed hot air into my palm, not quite hot enough to hurt, and not lukewarm either. It’s as if the chef scooped the sandwich into the bag directly off of the grill. No spatula ever came into contact with the sandwich. The cheese was melted perfectly, it flowed between the perfectly sized pulled chicken like hot magma flows between the crevasses of rock and dirt. Trailblazing it’s way into the utter unknown. The tomatoes hadn’t even gotten a look at the gardener that picked them, is how fresh they tasted. If you live within the borders of this state, you owe it to yourself to experience this eatery. It really does live up to its name. Best burger.

Very friendly service. The burger and fries were good.

The other day I was talking to a friend about the best hamburgers we've ever had. Two places came to mind. The very best hamburgers I ever had were in the town I grew up in (Morgan Hill California). But it's been closed for years. Very Nearly as good it was this place in Hayward called, "Best Burgers" that I used to go to in the late 1980s ( I was living in San Jose but had a job that took me to Hayward pretty much every day). They had just opened and they had fantastic hamburgers. It was a young man and his mother running the place. I don't remember his name it's been more than 30 years but we used to joke about that; Putting his mother to work. Hell of a great guy. It was here that I was first introduced to pastrami on hamburgers (yummy yummy yummy). I suppose you should take this review with a pinch of more than 30 -year-old salt. I'd be amazed if he was still running the place. But the burgers must've been really, really good if I'm still remembering them from 600 miles away and nearly 3 1/2 decades later. Probably not the same people (how cool would that be).If I ever get down there again. I'll look this place up.Probably you should too.
