One of the best burgers in town but the real joy at TrueBurger are the shakes! Oh my goodness they are so good that you will need to take a moment! If you find yourself anywhere in Oakland, put TrueBurger in your navigational system snd head over, even it's for a dessert milkshake!! It is a small venue so seating is limited but it is a skip and a hop from the lake! Enjoy!!!

Food: Got the True Deluxe - honestly one burger was probably enough for two people. It's HEAVY! I really enjoyed the fried mushroom-wish more burger shops offered something similar. The cheddar cheese was not flavorful and not fully melted in my burger which was disappointing. Fries had a sharp/raw garlic taste (beware of garlic breath after!). Strawberry lemonade was tasty. Overall, not the best burger I've had but glad I tried this spot! Service: Quick and efficient. Ambiance: Limited seating inside and outside. Great spot to eat alone or with a small group of friends.

Go to place for their mushroom burger and their garlic fries! Nice people I'll come back for the food and the service for sure.

So, an $18 burger meal sounds extreme BUTTTT baby when I tell you it was so worth it. The burger literally melted in my mouth I couldn't believe how good it was ! I also appreciated their buns didn't take away from the meat but complimented it! Fries were good and they gave a good amount for a side. SO SO SO GOOD! Go ahead and get you a burger

Pretty damn good burger and fries! I ordered the bacon cheesy TrueBurger. Bacon were thin and crispy, meat patty was smashed style and added extra flavor crispy bits to every bite. I also order a side of garlic fries, they were done well and had a nice garlic sauce. It reminded me of Giants ballpark garlic fries but better! Service was fast and friendly with plenty of tables and chairs for indoor dining, or you could grab your food to go and have it by the lake!

Came here on a Tuesday early evening and service was pretty quick. I got a mushroom burger and although I wish the cheese inside the patty had more flavor, it was still solid. I don't think it was worth the cost though. I was a huge fan of the garlic aioli on the burger. I also tried some of my friend's cheese fries which had a bit of a kick and strawberry lemonade and both of those were delicious. The only thing I really disliked was that there were tons of flies inside the restaurant around the seating area which made it not super comfortable to sit and eat. Overall, I would maybe return for the fries and lemonade as a to go snack but probably not the burger.

My son and I both ordered the Bacon Cheesy Trueburger and Garlic Fries and they were delicious! We've been to this location before, but it's been a while and the food is still fantastic. The burger was cooked the perfect medium, the bacon and veggies were the right texture, and the sauce is yummy. The garlic fries were crunchy with lots of garlic. The place is clean and the service excellent! Love it!!!

I was shocked to see how empty this place was, as many people have raved about it (started packing up after I ordered). So I had to try these legendary burgers when I finally was in the area. Small seating area but glad we early. I must have bad luck with cashiers because I did not get the same friendly service people were talking about. It kind of makes me not want to make another trek out there. Nonetheless service was straightforward and fast. Basically you can choose how you want your meat cooked (even rare, my personal favorite), and choice of onions/pickles. We ordered the True Deluxe and cheese burger, garlic fries, and pumpkin shake. All were very good. Garlic fries were some of the best fries I've had in a while. The true deluxe is reminiscent of the Shake Shack's shroom burger, but bigger, juicer, and has garlic aioli. I'm glad I got the extra side of garlic aioli.

I've always passed by True Burger but can't believe I never tried them. What kind of Oakland born native am I? They sure know how to serve up some burgers and fries. Burgers - cooked perfectly to desire wellness, with all the classic ingredients (Mayo, lettuce, tomatoes) and option to add grilled onions for 75 cents. Fries - so greasy yet so delicious! Love it when you can actually taste the garlic. The only thing I'd say is their fried chicken sandwich isn't the best ever (just because nothing compares to world famous hot boys in the bay) but does the job when you don't want beef. Water station/ soda fountain left of the register. Couple tables inside. No outdoor seating. Metered street parking.
