My family has been coming here for years for their bacon, ranch, and cheddar fries. We usually just take that to go, but we decided to grab a table and eat there. The bacon cheeseburger with grilled onions was just alright, honestly nothing too special. I would still come back for the bacon, ranch, and cheddar fries though!! It's pretty large and shareable, and they're not stingy with the toppings.Quick service and not too busy. It's small inside but there are seats inside and outside on the patio.

The Original Red Onion sets the foundation for Pinole! The perfect spot for your typical diner style dinner with huge portions. This spot has very hefty burgers, amazing chili cheese fries, and amazing desserts.Arrived on a Thursday night for dinner with my boyfriend and dog and we were sat outside. We were served by Isa (girl with red hair) and she was so kind and attentive. Thank you for your amazing service! She also got me an extra soda to go and I forgot to take it with me before leaving :(( lol. If you're reading this Isa IM SO SORRY GIRL HAHAPlease come try this place out! This joint is consistently good and service is very fast. I'll 100% be coming back for my burger and milkshake fix.

4.5!!! We drive all the way from Sacramento for the "Chicken Crack"! Worth every mile! We also had: Spaghetti, Steak Fried Rice, Moco Loco, Lemon Pepper wings, Fries, Fried Banana & Churro to share between 4 adults and we all still took food home. The service was great, the restaurant was packed, and everyone was enjoying their food and the atmosphere! We will return, the menu is huge so we have to try everything!

Great burger! Used to come here a lot and it's been a while but still as good as I remember and still as hefty (usually ends up as two meals for me). I don't think I've had anything other than a burger but why would you They have new milkshake flavors and desserts, which were always solid choices. Looks like they built out a nice outdoor patio as part of a refreshed interior. On this visit, some of the staff was friendly and helpful, one or two seemed they didn't care to be there. Not sure if that's typical (hopefully not).

Our 19th hole was here today. Of the seven of us only hubby & myself had never been here. It's located in a strip mall by the local high school. The parking lot is one way only. We missed the driveway and had to loop back around. The entrance looks like a side door. There's a service counter to your immediate right and a unisex bathroom to your immediate left.Once we were all seated and had an opportunity to look over the breakfast & lunch menus, our orders were taken. Hubby went with chicken and waffle. Once his order was brought to the table there were 7 drumsticks with a thin crisp waffle. I went with the bacon pepper jack cheeseburger with grilled onions and everything on it. Medium well. Cooked to order. Food was very good. A couple folks ordered fries and onion rings. Generous baskets and fried hot and crispy. The menu is very diverse. They offer a wide range of different food. There's something for everyone. Service was friendly and efficient We requested three separate checks which was no issue as they use a handheld device where you tap your credit card.

The Original Red Onion will always have my heart! Growing up in Pinole, I've had so many memories here over the years from family take out nights to first dates to sharing this nostalgic spot with my husband and friends.There is truly nothing better than an old school burger, comforting chilli cheese fries and an ice cold soda - The Original Red Onion does just that really well! Juicy meat, crispy potatoes, and years later so many other fun menu options to choose from..but I can never steer away from the classics!While there make sure to say hi to Johnny, the gem of The Original Red Onion - for quick service, quality food, indoor/outdoor seating in a homey atmosphere, easy parking in the shopping center next to Pinole Valley HS, all the stars align for burger time! You can even order through the Yelp app for delivery/takeout.

This is a really great diner and burger joint. The menu is huge, so you have lots of options. The portions are definitely big. One order is enough for two people. They have these fried chicken drumsticks with no breading on their menu. This is my go-to in this restaurant. I've tried other items, and they are good. They don't skimp on the condiments they provude. Prices are very reasonable. The staff is awesome. The restaurant is clean.

Okay, it's totally old school divvy but the food & menu is pretty amazing I haven't been there since probably high school or college. I got the waffles with drumsticks with syrup only and a vanilla milkshake. The milkshake was a very thick soft serve. I had to wait a bit while it melted. Waffle was thin & tasty. Chicken was good too (plain)

Horrible! The frozen fish and shrimp at the grocery store taste better. This was freezer-burned seafood deep fried in old oil and served with frozen fries that were fried in the same old oil. I hadn't ate here since high-school and I guess my memories were better than the food.
