Alex KimOctober 18, 2014So true. Tried the bacon cheesy true burger and would come back for it again. Sauce is good, patty is cooked well, and bun is nice and crispy on the edges.- Angelica DongalloJune 28, 2018Love the panko-crusted cheese-stuffed mushroom burger and garlic fries. Wash it down with a custom shake (coffee with Twinkie mix-ins)
Simon BurnsDecember 14, 2019Very smashed burgers - juicy, really craftily done. Great milkshakes too. All around great spot, feels like a community joint- Alan HJanuary 20, 2019I think I just found my favorite burger in Oakland. Wow. I love how customizable the shakes are... make mine a malted! 👌🏼
Raymond AndersonFebruary 15, 2015True Burger Deluxe.... (Feel like Martin in the movt "LIFE", takin' a bite of the pie!) Burned my mouth, the cheese was too damn HOT! Other than that, I think I have a Valentines Crusher!
Michael MontoyaSeptember 3, 2014Cheesy True Burger was awesome. Fresh made patty and not over done fries. I wilm go back to kill my burger craving.
This place use to have great cheese fries... They removed them from the menu, raised all the prices, and basically ruined a great place :(
AliceFebruary 16, 2023Get the Deluxe. Be mind blown by their fried portobello mushroom stuffed with cheese.- Kyle Will.I.AmsApril 5, 2014Definitely try their specialty shakes. I had a Butterfinger shake that was heavenly. Ask about their Twinkie Shake too
JasonMarch 19, 2017Cheesy True Burger is great, but not sure it's worth the price (although that bun is killer). Plain fries are crazy generic though.
Stephanie TeNovember 18, 2019Probably one of the best burgers in the bay. The mushroom burger is amazing.
Gabby HAugust 29, 2014Make your own black and white. Vanilla shake plus chocolate sauce. Dumb to pay extra but so good.- Eric LanehartAugust 2, 2015Go deluxe: the burger with a deep-fried-smoked-mozzarella-injected on top. Have a whole dill pickle on the side to digest!
Jordan RicardoDecember 9, 2013Not quite in Shake Shack's league, but a solid neighborhood staple for sure. Cashier recommended garlic mayo for regular fries and now I can do the same.
Ellen McGrodyMarch 16, 2015Really delicious burgers, super bomb milkshakes, crispy fries. A bit pricey!
Jose HernandezSeptember 27, 2014Nice burger! Couldn't tell if it was aioli or mayo, but if you don't want it you havebto say so. Otherwise awesome burger. Fries just ok.
The bacon cheesy and the mushroom burguers are amazing!
Best burger in the east bay. Better than a $12 burger at a fancy place.
The best burger in Oakland and the fries are good also
Sabrina MorganJune 14, 2013Their burgers are simple and genuinely delicious: juicy, fresh, and meaty.
Careful: those fries are already salted. But where else could you get a banana coffee chocolate shake with'em? Wifi seems to be dead, though.
Ana Gabriela Hernandez-McKigMay 21, 2010The cheese fries have a unique ability of staying hot but still so delicious. Just wait a minute before diving in, or else your tongue may face molten cheese!
Custom milkshake: vanilla with orange mix-in. You got yourself a creamsicle shake right there, buddy.
spicy coleslaw hot dog messy but yummy. thumbs up for full sail session ale. it's my new favorite
Every time I take the first bite, I always say to myself "oh God that's good.."
Spicy slaw dog! Plus the occational shake special. Twinkie shakes are in season.
Mike WordenAugust 10, 2016This place is overrated. Kronnerburger and Clove & Hoof are much better for high end. For a regular burger place like this just go to Ahn's quarter pound down the street.
Bronwen AbbattistaNovember 14, 2015Burger patty was small, flat, and overcooked. I asked for a lettuce wrap. Instead of wrapping the burger, they just put it on a piece of lettuce. I ordered a burger, not a salad.
Order over the phone and they'll have your food ready in 10 mins or less.
- Bronwen AbbattistaNovember 14, 2015The fries and vanilla shake were just okay. Low-budget ambience. Overall, Trueburger did not live up to the hype.
Richard CepedaJanuary 21, 2013This place has amazing burgers and shakes if you are on the go. My food took 8 minutes to cook.
