The burgers were sooo delicious. The service was great, the lady at the counter was very sweet and nice. She made me feel at home and welcome. This is a mom and pop shop that is hidden. Don't judge the outside, we ordered burgers and fries. The fries were very delicious, huge fried too! Give it a try, it is a hidden gem.

This place was recommended by someone local and I am NOT regretting it. It seems to be ran by an older generation Asian wife and husband (cannot confirm). You walk in and it's like stepping back in time to 1985 with the decor. They have an old school menu board and they keep it simple. The food tastes fresh and like you remember how burgers and fries used to taste (and probably should). Take note, if you're in a rush call ahead, this place is not for you if you're short on time or patience. The soda syrup/C02 mix was great. Meat is charbroil 1/3 lb beef and the onion rings are great. I have heard the philly cheesesteak is great as well, but have yet to try The folks here are reserved, but they are very nice. Food is brought out to you also like it used to be and is cooked to order, even the fries and onion rings.

What a solid burger! Their burgers, onion rings, and fries are all very good. It's a small business and it gets very busy! I would suggest calling ahead because there will be a wait.

Classic Burger makes a damn fine hamburger. And some of the offerings are a little unique too. They have a hamburger topped with pastrami, and a mushroom burger, kind of standard,I guess but done very well. Why is this not five stars? Well the buns could be better. But the burger I had, which was a double cheeseburger with bacon was, absolutely sublime. Also big big + for their onion rings which were crispy and flavorful. Some of the best I've had in a long time. I put a couple of them on my hamburger. My mom got the Swiss burger. She enjoyed it very much. My sister got the regular hamburger. Also enjoyed it very much. The flavor of their beef is very good. Nothing I consider gourmet, just a burger done well

Classic Burger never disappoints when it comes to burgers and fries. This restaurant has been a staple in the community for over two decades, consistently delivering excellent food and service. Despite its small size, this nostalgic spot always has plenty of seating. Wait times on getting your food can vary and can be more on the lengthy side depending on how busy they get. The menu is exactly what you'd expect from a classic burger joint, offering simple yet satisfying options. The owners, who also work there, are incredibly sweet and welcoming every time you visit. If you haven't been, I'd recommend checking this place out. It offers that straightforward, delicious burger you didn't know you were missing.

Been living in the Bay Area for over 30 years and this is the 1st time coming here. This mom and pops burger joint is really good with charbroiled burgers. The restaurant looks very clean and the service was great. Love the toasted buns and the patties were cooked perfectly. Differently coming back!!!

Was looking for a classic type burger and this place did not disappoint. The bacon cheeseburger was juicy and delicious! The only thing that could have been better was the size of the cheesesteak. The interior made me feel like I traveled back in time. The staff was friendly with everyone.

We were in the area and really craving a burger, so we decided to stop by Classic Burger. Just a sidenote, I can be a little weary of trying new burger spots... Walking in it seemed like a business that had been around for a long time, which was good news, so we went ahead and ordered. We both ordered the classic burger not really knowing what to expect, but were very pleasantly surprised to find it is a good quality burger topped with pastrami! I had never had a burger with pastrami before, and I can tell you it is a great addition. Not only that, but also the patty was very well seasoned and portion size was good. Based on our experience, I do know that the wait can be a little long, so come prepared to potentially wait, and if not, you can peruse the grocery store down the way.
