  I've been coming here for the last five or so years and love this place. Old fashioned and straight to the point menu. Ordered the char burger with cheese and added bacon. Everything was delicious as expected.

  I think of this as the staple burger place for old school Livermore. The burgers are simply tasty. They have quite a few different styles of pre selected burgers to choose from and of course you can build your own or add / remove toppings as you see fit. It can get a bit expensive if you like everything but totally worth it. It's a simple place inside and it's not really a 'dine in' type situation. It's actually kind of an eye sore if you're used to finer dining or attention to detail - or if you watch too many Gordan Ramsay episodes like myself. I can't really enjoy my burger in their dining area so I usually just do it to go and bask in its delicisiousness from my kitchen.

  Enjoy this place. My boyfriend and I come here and both get the charburger with cheese and jalapeño and split an order each of onion rings and fries and a drink. Very consistent product and have never had a bad meal here.
  
  This is a "greasy spoon" type spot and it's an old building with old fixtures and isn't pristine. Don't let this deter you.
  
  The chocolate malt is also good! I've never tried anything else besides their staples, but I'd like to since they offer a variety of sandwiches.

  Hole in the wall old-fashioned burger joint.  Huge servings of shoestring fries to go with perfect burgers.  Worth going out of the way for.

  Had a 1/3 lb burger. Good flavorful patty, nice bun, great fries. Solid, old fashioned burger joint.
