Where can you get a great burger for less than $10?...... TRUEBURGER!!!Geez, everything is so expensive these days and the Bay Area has the highest prices on the west coast. For that reason alone, the Cheesy TrueBurger for $9.25 is a 5 star experience. It's a nice modern venue with good service and you can get fries for $4 and a beer for $5 to wash it all down. Yeah, the burger is really good too. LOL Check it out!

The burgers are some of the best, absolutely love the burgers at this place. I actually go out of my way and a good distance just to come here.So that's why it got three stars as a review for me. Not sure who manages this place now but it's gone down hill as a restaurant for its staff and now for the hours it's said it's open and it is not.This was the third time I came out of my way to get here only to find out they closed early. Of your going to list your hours you need to stick to them. I get it sometimes things happen. But this was all in the same two weeks??? Just a huge waste of my time and gas.

Oh the Deluxe TrueBurger. You have my heart. The fried mushroom and the gooey cheese with the high-quality meat patty. Oh so good. This is my first review but I have been coming to TrueBurger for years with friends and family, both locations. The Broadway location is slightly more accessible, easier to find parking. Service is incredibly fast and friendly. We couldn't help but get the garlic fries and a malted Oreo milkshake on the side. The milkshake with the burger certainly hits the spot, soo delicious and refreshing. Not all artificial and overly sweet like In-N-Out. Broadway indoor space is also much more spacious and open. Husband's review: 5/5!

Great burgers- but this locations service is awful compared to their main downtown location. It was also a ghost town inside- maybe if they had tvs or some sort of community events it wouldn't be such a sleeper

Quick ordering and fast casual style experience. The burger patties were well seasoned and just the right amount of juicy with medium rare.

I devoured my Bacon Cheesy TrueBurger if that tells you anything. The burgers, fries, onion rings, and milkshakes that we had here were excellent and the service we received was great. If you're craving a burger in Temescal / North Oakland, I recommend this place.We visited on a Saturday around 11:15am. The restaurant wasn't busy at the time of our visit, which worked out for us because we had kids in tow and could spread out and relax a little. There's a decent amount of seating inside. No outdoor seating that I saw. The setup and atmosphere is that of a fast food restaurant, like In-N-Out, but TrueBurger is local to Oakland. The kitchen is open so you can see them make everything.There are only two TrueBurger locations at the time of writing this review: (1) The original location which opened on Grand Ave in Downtown Oakland in January 2010. https://www.yelp.com/biz/trueburger-oakland (2). This second location which opened in Temescal, Oakland in January 2015. This location is significantly bigger than the first location downtown.My niece is a fan of this place and asked us multiple times, "Can we go to TrueBurger?" She got her wish. Her 10-year-old taste buds agree with mine. Everything was delicious (except for maybe the vegetarian Mushroom Burger, but that's not something I'd normally order; my sister got it).The menu here is simple. TrueBurger serves 5-ounce beef burgers, cooked medium, with garlic mayo, lettuce, and tomato by default. Cheese, bacon, onions, pickles, and a portobello mushroom patty are options (onions and pickles at no extra cost). TrueBurger's Mushroom Burger reminded me of Shake Shack's 'Shroom Burger. Both mushroom burgers are made with portobello mushrooms and stuffed with cheese.During our visit, the burgers ranged in price from $8.00 for a plain burger without cheese to $11.00 for either a Double-Up (double beef and double cheese) or a True Deluxe (burger with cheese + a mushroom burger patty on top; again, similar to a Shake Shack item -- the Shack Stack, which I've had on multiple occasions). TrueBurger also serves hot dogs, the aforementioned fries and shakes, onion rings, ice cream, root beer floats, strawberry lemonade, fountain drinks (standard self-serve machine), and bottled and canned beer.I had a Bacon Cheesy TrueBurger ($10.50) with garlic mayo, lettuce, tomato, onions, and pickles. It was fantastic. It tasted fresh, and it was filling and satisfying. TrueBurger serves their burgers in paper wrappers like In-N-Out, Shake Shack, etc. Their burgers are ground daily. The ingredients were good quality, including the bacon which was scrumptious.We got a couple orders of fries for the table, both regular French Fries ($3.75) and Garlic Fries ($4.25), plus Onion Rings ($6.00). The onion rings came with a side of ranch. We also asked for a side of garlic mayo ($0.95), the same garlic mayo they put on the burgers, to dip our fries and onion rings into. Along with ranch and garlic mayo, TrueBurger also offers chipotle and barbecue sauces.The fries were the slimmer, smooth-cut, crispy variety, kind of like the fries served at McDonald's, Burger King, and Wendy's. However, these were better. I saw the staff cutting potatoes by hand. I highly recommend the Garlic Fries. They were incredibly tasty and addictive. The Onion Rings were terrific too. What I liked about them was they weren't too greasy, but were still nice and big with wonderfully appetizing texture.We got Chocolate Milkshakes for dessert and they were outstanding. They really hit the spot. They were thick, smooth, creamy, and gratifying. We watched as one of the employees handspun the shakes. If you've made it this far into my review, then you've probably realized by this point that there is an extra level of personal attention to the food here. I think that helps set TrueBurger apart from the competition. It's a difference in quality that you can taste.Even my Dr. Pepper from the soda fountain tasted good (and you know those machines/drinks aren't all created/prepared equally).The staff was polite, efficient, and well-trained.No wonder why my niece likes this place so much.

OMG, I owe this place a review. Awhile ago, I had Covid-19 and was stuck at home under doctor's orders. I had lost about 6-7 pounds in a week, and I started having weird food cravings. I had this craving for a cheeseburger and fries. So I flipped thru my delivery apps, and ordered a Double-Up Cheeseburger and Fries. This location is not as fast as the place on Grand. But I got my food, and the order was right. The cheeseburger was cooked medium, as i like it. The burger was wrapped up, but appeared smashed anyway. Not a big deal. The meat patties had that caramelized crust. It was a delicious burger and it satisfied my appetite. If I had to rank the Top burger places, TrueBurger would be in the Top 5 in the Eastbay.

This is my first time visiting this TrueBurger location and I'm disappointed it's not as good as the other location.I ordered a TrueBurger and thought it was a decent burger. The bun needs to be toasted a tad longer. The patty could use a tiny bit more salt as well. The tomatoes and lettuce were crisp and didn't make the rest of the burger soggy which is a plus. Definitely ask for raw onions and pickles with your burger: so much better with these extra additions.The garlic fries are incredibly fragrant, but that's about the only positive quality about them. There's not enough garlic flavor, not enough salt, and the fries were completely soggy when I picked up my Uber Eats order 5 minutes after I got a text notification that my order was ready.
