45 Best Burger Restaurants in San Jose

“Took my teenaged son and we had the messy burger. Although they had ALL the stuff to put on a burger you could think of in a salad bar type setting so you could add what and how much of what you wanted to your burger we added nothing and it was the best tasting burger in the bay area. I live in milpitas and it is worth the drive for their burgers!! Definitely recommend this as a must do for any foodie out there !!“

“Had the flying dutchman ? with grilled onions ? buns! Yum ?Should have gotten 2 of em but it definitely hit the spot!Line was ridiculously long!!! Of courses showing up around 8pm is prime time.No complaints, great customer service and food came out at a manageable time.Loving this carnivore diet thou!“

“I had heard stories about In-N-Out burger but never had the chance to eat there. On my first work trip to CA, I vowed that I would eat there and see if the food was really worth the hype.They were so busy they make Chic-Fil-A look like slow by comparison! I went in and waited in a long line that was moving very quickly. I placed my order (burger, fries, and strawberry milkshake) and found an open seat to sit and wait. It's almost a misnomer to say they are "fast food (since I wanted 10-15 minutes for my order)," but it was definitely worth the wait!The burger was absolutely delicious, as were the fries! The milkshake was equally delicious. Everything tasted fresh and flavorful. The employees hustle 100% of the time, and I was amazed at how they keep their energy up for every customer.I can't wait for my next trip back to CA to enjoy another meal at In-N-Out!“

“"El Bumangues" is the real deal, man! Authentic Colombian fast food, or should I say, straight outta Bucaramanga. That dedication in the meat with smoky vibes, delicious pineapple salsa, and that irresistible tartar sauce. A spot that's really nestled in the hearts of those of us who miss home when we're cruisin' through beautiful San José, California. The best burger in town!!!“

“I love this restaurant. If you love dogs, you would, too. The food is to die for, and the happy hour isn’t bad. It’s a great place to have a meet-up with friends or to watch the game. Oh, and remember, bring your fur babies. They are welcome!“

“Came in for a Sunday brunch. This place has a fun, quirky decor that lighten up moods and great conversation starter. Interesting spin on a usual American breakfast/ sandwiches/ burgers. Seems to have more drinks on the menu than the food menu, still should be plenty enough for everyone's preferences. Also plenty of desserts options.Their pancake is huge! Fluffy and as big as a plate.The Mother Clucker is a grilled cheese sandwich with fried eggs, ham, and bacon. The french toasts are also gigantic. I was tempted with the description of the rum cake as "two full cups of rum in every cake" and break my intention to cut down sugar. It was OK, not tasting the rum as much as I thought I would. The melted lava cake is also not bad.The service is quite attentive. Both waitresses for our table have energy that match the decor. Overall a good neighborhood restaurant with fun-filled decor, place is clean, nice seatings, interesting details decor that spark up conversations, food and service is quite good for breakfast/ brunch. Plan to come back for happy hour & dinner to try different menu items.“

“We had a wonderful experience at LB Steak the other night, the atmosphere was great, not too stuffy and perfect for a DateNight! They have a pretty extensive wine list, and from what I could see, the Bar looked pretty well stocked too. We ordered a couple glasses of the Benton Lane Pinot Noir, which was delicious and then decided to order a whole bottle. My husband had the Boneless Ribeye and I had the petite Filet Mignon, both meats were juicy and tender, cooked to perfection. It definitely satisfied our “steak jones” we ordered the Mac and Cheese to share, which is served “Family style.” Let me tell you, I would go back just for another helping of the Mac and Cheese, it was so yummy, the noodles were cooked perfectly and the cheese blend was amazing! We loved everything about the Mac and Cheese! We ended our night with dessert, I had the fruit Crème Brûlée and my husband had the Chocolate Molten Cake and both were outstanding! Perfect yummy ending to a perfect evening!“

“Many people come here to eat~As far as I'm concerned, it tastes similar to McDonald's burgers in Taiwan~However, the fries are a bit hard~ I still prefer the fries from McDonald’s in Taiwan!When ordering food, you can order meal No. 1 for the first time:Double DoubleBoth burgers and fries must be Animal style! (The fries will be topped with cheese sauce)In addition, if you come here to eat inside, you can add your own sauces and food!PS: If you like my comments, you can follow them~I will take photos of the appearance and color of the food I saw on site and present it to everyone. I will go to various places to discover delicious food and unique places! !I wish everyone’s wishes come true! “

“We enjoyed a lovely dinner on the patio. The cheese beignets were pure molten deliciousness. The craft cocktails and burgers perfectly hit the spot. Our server gave exceptional recommendations and we ended with house made vanilla ice cream with apricot sauce and nut streusel.“

“This spot was actually really fire. I'm the girl at brunch who always has to add hot sauce to her eggs Benny but I didn't even add a drop to this plate bc the hollandaise was so good (this was extra surprising bc they had my favorite hot sauce - The Pepper Plant). My partner got the breakfast sandwich which was also really good as it used French toast for the bread! Loved it!!! Parking was also very simple and the servers were very attentive with refilling coffee/water! Overall recommend and will be coming in my back“

“Secco at SJ downtown hikton was great restaurant. The ambiance was modern and unique. The ordered entrée all came and served on timely and the food quality all exceeded our expectations. The restaurant staff were very friendly & attentative, definitely recommend anyone thinking about hosti a g birthday or anniversary dinner.“

“I’ve always like FiveGuys for their juicy and tasty burgers. Today’s visit is particularly joyful as I was greeted by the cheerful Emma V. Since I started work in the area I’ll definitely be back for lunch.If this is your first time, consider the mini burger with “all the way” on condiments which I found to be a better balance between the patty and condiments.“

“Food was awesome. Never knew they served all kinds of food. I recommend the fried shrimp. It's cheap and it's good amount of food per serving. Stays crispy for hours. My picky child loves it. The meatball combo is also really good... and I always order a sundae or a banana split when I go there. I don't recommend the cheese fries or the smoothies.“

“Picky middle schooler took a few bites and said, “Wow. That is the best burger ever!” Excellent fries and Strauss Soft Serve really do make this place Super Duper! Local and Sustainable too. Only wish is for a good gluten-free bun. We’ll be back.“

“best place ever. mojo has the best shakes, some GREAT burgers, and their fries are phenomenal. carol, or “mrs. mojo” is the friendliest person ever. the place truly has a great vibe and their outside seats are different than any other restaurant. overall such a great place.Kid-friendliness: there are toys in the kids meal and friendly staffWheelchair accessibility: there is a ramp from the parking lot to the entryway, and double doors to fit a wheelchair.“

“I'm a bit of a burger snob so I wasn't sure what to expect. I had the barn burger which was mushrooms, Swiss cheese lettuce and tomato on a French roll and it was fantastic, from now on when I have a burger craving this is where I'm “

“This is a popular spot for teenagers and young adults since it’s next to a shopping mall.Minus one star for the fact that this is one of the worst locations to visit given its location in a grocery parking lot with a terrible design.There is generally a long line for the drive-through which can often wrap around to the outside street near the traffic light on super busy days, typically on weekends.It is often crowded no matter the time of day. Late nights a few hours before closing are more tame. The food is always good, but unless you have endless time to kill during the day, I’d consider going to a different location for a better experience.Parking: Parking is hit or miss depending on the day. Parking spots can be small and cramped. Trucks or large vehicles are not advised if you can avoid it.“

“A colleague and I went to lunch at a restaurant in a business district with ample parking.Debbie, our server, provided excellent service.We ordered pizza, chicken strips with fries, and a steak sandwich. The pizza had a delicious flavor and fresh ingredients. The chicken strips were juicy and flavorful. The steak sandwich could have used more seasoning, but it was still enjoyable overall.The restaurant had a pleasant atmosphere, with multiple televisions for watching sports, a pool table, and a dartboards.“

“First of all, the hours posted on Yelp and on their front door is wrong. They open at 11:30 not 11:00 AM. We walked around for about 30 minutes and went into the local shops like Rite Aid. The menu has changed. I had my heart set on the Amore prawns which came with salsa, green rice and slaw. Unfortunately this option was replaced by either a fried white fish or a fish grilled in banana leaf and instead of slaw, you get the refried beans which is much less healthy. I enjoyed the white fish (tender and tasty) cooked in banana leaf but it took a long time and was the last item out. My husband had finished his meal (5 items) that included a queso birria taco, two Columbian arepas, rice and refried beans by the time my fish came out. He thought everything was okay and preferred my fish which had more flavor. I think they need more interesting sides like a slaw but limited to just rice and beans. Their complimentary salsa was extremely yummy and it was much better than the Columbian Pink sauce (Salsa Rosada) that came with the arepas. Service was good although our waitress seemed overworked (cashier, server, and waitress).They should turn up the AC inside the restaurant because it was a bit hot. I enjoyed the music that matched the food. My husband reported that the bathroom was clean. I would recommend that they paint the walls a darker color because there were a lot of scratches and marks that made the restaurant feel dirty. The wood tables are a nice touch but need to be waterproofed as our table which had a booth had lots of water damage on it.“

“Usually I do recommend but not today. You put out ads for specials like today 4/19 2 for 10.00 Banana splits ad it has your address and when ì go I'm told it's not for the 4th st location. this is not the first it's happened. Froster Freeze has alot of upcoming specials that won't be honored for that prices. very disappointing“

“i decided to try this place to grab a quick bite before dinner and it was good. they add a fun twist on hot dogs at a decent price. inside is pretty small but self ordering makes it a lot faster to order. my bf got one of the beef hot dogs and i got chicken. both had a generous amount of sauce and were presented nicely. the fries were crispy and not oily. would come again for another quick bite.“

“Went during lunch on a Saturday the weather was bad but there was still folks eating outside. The burger was amazing! and the food came out quickly. Nice servers and good drink selection. Not a fan of shoestring fries myself so I got the tater tots and they were decent. Feel like there could have been more in the box though.“

“Another great BBQ find in San Jose. I came here late, 30 mins before they were due to close. The staff were brilliant and accommodating and didn’t make me feel rushed or pressured, in spite of my timing.Food was fantastic and served very quickly. I had the BBQ brisket burn ends combo with some chilli Mac and the seasoned waffle fries. The brisket was fall apart tender and had a fantastic flavour.The drinks choice was outstanding, but I was boring and had one of their IPA’s. This was brilliant, and washed the meal down perfectly. I’ll be back for sure!“

“Good burger and fries, prices seems for the amount of food. The person taking lacked English skills. My friend ask a simple question and she did not understand we both kept asking the question about 3 different ways before she understood and gave us an answer.“

“This place has been around since before I was born. My big brother used to take us for a bag of burgers when we were little. Five regular hambers with just relish and mayo for $2.99. Although the price has changed, the burgers are just as I remembered.“

“This is my daughter’s favorite spot. The burgers and fries are mostly on point but once in a while, a little lacking but worth it. The all you can eat fries, side salad, Mac and cheese kids meal and freckled lemonades make it a full time “

“This is not only the best Burger King but the best fast food restaurant I have been to. This restaurant probably had a bad history but the new team are doing a fantastic job! The lady working in the front is very friendly and aware of all customers and she is also bilingual! Speaks English and Spanish. The cook has been very consistent with the food. Big props for the cook for caring about the food coming out with high quality.“

“I got seated right away. The manager got my drink orderI did not wait long for the server to get my food order. This place gets busy but I got my food about 5 minutes later. Parking lot is small but I was able to get parking. Overall this place got better with service.“

“I stopped by while I was in the area to order an impossible burger and sweet potato fries. They gave me a beeper so it is possible to go wander around while waiting, although the food was ready within a few minutes. I thought the fries were quite good, they were crispy and decently salted. I found the burger to be just alright, not particularly remarkable. I wish the burger patty and bread were crispier. However, I appreciate that they offer this plant-based protein option.“

“For those not familiar with this location, I just wanted to give a heads up and say a couple things. First, they do not have a fountain drink machine open to the customers. The employees will fill & give you your drink when your order is ready. Also, if you're dining at the restaurant, they are no longer allowing refills for drinks (I'm not sure if/ when this will end). On the plus side, they do allow for you to use more than one coupon at a time (I've only used 2 at one time, so I can't say for sure that they allow more than that per customer). Hope this helps :)“

“Food: The portion of the chicken was HUGEE, juicy and tender, thus the price is high. I ordered the Original Chick N sandwich that come with coleslaw They only serve to-go orders with no seating and food came out in reasonable time Cons: the only down size of this food truck is that you have to check for their schedule and location since they do not always park in one specific spot. You can also call them to confirm before heading out“

“Had to ask for silverware for a Togo orderBacon wasn't extra crispy like I asked it to be. A trick is to throw it in the fryer. Gets it extra crispy and shockingly doesn't make it greasy.Besides that everything looked great. Portions are amazing. Packaging was amazing as well. Location is awesome next to a small oval park with a farmers market happening with music and fruit vendors. It was cool ambiance“

“The burgers here are decent, meeting the expectations of a typical fast food chain. However, the way they arranged my regular-sized fries, causing them to spill all over the to-go box, is a tad frustrating. It turns the simple act of reaching my burger into a mini excavation project. Despite this, the burgers themselves are delicious, and I'll definitely return.Although I initially ordered a cheeseburger and received a bacon double cheeseburger (with a higher cost), the burger was undeniably tasty. The friendly and attentive staff, who greeted me upon entering and maintained a clean environment, made up for the mistake. Overall, it was a solid experience with just a minor hiccup.Opting to dine in, I discovered the food here is absolutely delicious! Pairing a greasy burger and seasoned fries with milkshakes was the perfect choice.“

“Excellent, delicious ? and mouth-watering Real Fries ? and Superb Milk shakes, different flavors from Oreo Cookies ? to Strawberry ? to Banana ? and to Chocolate ?Great hard working guys producing real cool ? and quality food snack deliverables, strongly and highly recommended !Five Guys, you guys ROCK !Vegetarian options: Veggie Sandwich ? grilled onions ? cheese is good ? , must try !“

“I've only ordered delivery, and am perplexed that this place doesn't have 4.5+ stars. The food is high quality, fresh, and delicious. We usually order the Chicken Tikka pizza, which is so good, especially when dipped in the mint chutney that comes with it. The Loaded Fries are crazy good and a generous size.We love their kids menu, too. The kids cheeseburger comes with lettuce, tomatoes, and pickles on the side (so genius, not putting it in the burger because kids!) and tasty french fries. And the kids cheese pizza is pretty large and is some of the best cheese pizza I've ever had. Their house red sauce is perfect.We are the kind of weirdos who usually don't eat the crust, but Blast and Brew's original pizza crust can't be skipped. It's soft, chewy, and fresh.We love this place!Kid-friendliness: The kid menu covers all the bases, and each item is a great value.“

“The best fast food burgers in the area!!!The burgers were very tasty and fresh, and the fries were hot and really goodThe staff was very nice and friendly.The place is clean.Great value for money.Comfortable location, lots of parking.Definitely will come back!“

“I was in town from NY and wanted to try different burger joints in the area. After a lackluster and disappointing visit at in-n-out, I hit up the habit. I had the double char burger with cheese and a steak sandwich. The steak sandwich came with ciabatta bread with holds up well. The steak wasn't the best but what do you expect from a fast food joint. It was delicious and pretty filling.4/5. The double char burger with cheese was the bomb!The patty was nice and juicy with that charred, smokey flavor. It was fantastic, would buy again in a heartbeat. 4/5. Please give this place a try.“

“I was so impressed with how good my food was. I'm vegetarian and have been looking for restaurants with veggie options. I liked the veggie sandwich here, but I LOVED the grilled cheese w/pickles. I also enjoyed the strawberry milkshake and the Cajun fries. YES PLEASE!!Vegetarian options: Veggie sandwichGrilled cheeseMilkshakesFries“

“I have been to many Habits in my life, and this is one of the best ever! Big props to all the workers at this Habit; they were very friendly, efficient, and they prepared the food perfectly. Habit food in general is always quite good, but I feel like at this location it was even better than usual. I recommend the classic charburger, fries, and any of their shakes! ?“

“Our family loves five guys for years now . if you are on a low carb diet ask for your burger to be lettuce wrapped.Parking: It is in a big shopping center with lots of parking.Kid-friendliness: We take our kid all the time and he loves it.“

“Stopped in Friday and the BBQ Chicken was great. The baked potato had sour cream a butter. The beans were very tasty. The price was great and so was the service. I'm going to come back and try the breakfast and might add a bloody Mary. Nice bartender.“

“Was a little optimistic about this place, been living around the area for almost 13 years now and never had the chance to stop by until today. The owner is a great person, introduced himself and made you feel welcome!The burger itself sure was juicy with a great taste! The fries were also very good, well salted and stuff!I highly recommend to stop by!“

“This is one of our favorite places. For burgers!, Luis took our order and although he is a new employee, he did an excellent job. It's no wonder his work was so so good with having Clayton Clayton as his manager. Clayton was helping out everywhere. He came up to Luis and told him about a special they were having double burgers and he seemed very genuine with the customers and with his staff. I saw a camaraderie among all of the staff. I really enjoy going to this place to eat and I like it even more because of how the employees seem to like their job and the person they work for Great eats and great atmosphere We took it to go and had no pictures, but we had four doubles and french fries onion rings, and tots! All very tasty!“

“I absolutely love Five Guys- it's probably one of my favorite burger spots so I'm a bit bias. The food itself is always amazing and portions are perfect. I usually get a "little" burger and it's plenty. At every single location you get triple the fries that you order so always order a small (trust me). This location the service was on point, fast and efficient. It was around lunch time on a weekend and it wasn't busy at all. Located smack in the middle of a plaza for all your shopping needs.“

“Let's start with the bad, fries have way to much salt and not cheap for a burger but you pay for what you get and it's good quality of everything they sell. Plenty of place to park in the budy San Jose afternoon area.Outdoor seating which is great.It was not busy at all when i came and it's much appreciated and the staff was really nice and helpful“
