Juicy Burger — Restaurant in San Jose

Juicy Burgers: Byob- build your own burger ...

Sometimes the best food discoveries happen completely by accident. My son and I had just finished shopping at Dick's Sporting Goods when we spotted Juicy Burgers on our way out. Both of us were pretty hungry, and the restaurant looked interesting enough that we decided to drive around the block and come back to check it out. That quick decision turned out to be a really good choice.

What makes Juicy Burgers different from other burger places is their build-your-own concept. It's not just picking a few toppings from a short list. Instead, you get to create exactly the burger you want. We started with the basic kids burger as our foundation, but then things got really exciting at the toppings bar.

The selection of toppings was incredible. You could choose from regular sliced onions, tangy relish, crunchy pickles, and spicy jalapeños. They had both shredded lettuce and whole lettuce leaves, plus fresh tomato slices. But the best part was the sauce station. They had everything you could imagine – classic ranch dressing, Thousand Island, and many more options. It felt like being at a salad bar, but for burgers.

The quality of the food matched the fun concept. The meat was cooked exactly how we asked for it – not too rare, not too well done, just perfect. The onion rings on the side were absolutely amazing. They were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, with just the right amount of seasoning.

The staff were friendly, explained the process, considering it was my first visit there.

The whole experience was so good that we're definitely planning to come back. Next time, we want to try different topping combinations and explore more of their sauce options. If you're looking for a burger place where you can make your meal exactly how you like it, Juicy Burgers is worth...

I really wish there were half stars as I'd give this place a 4.5. The store is easy to see from the street but parking can be a little lackluster as it shares a small lot with 3 other businesses. Inside, it was clean and simple. Nothing extravagant. A good number of tables and chairs, and a station to both throw your food away, put away your trays and get your napkins, straws, etc. The menu was pretty standard, a variety of burgers, fries and to my surprise hot dogs. The burgers are cooked to order, and are served "plain". Once you receive your burger you are given control of your toppings. Shredded Lettuce, romaine, mustard, ketchup, BBQ sauce, tomatoes, pickles, you name it. There were even toppings for the aforementioned hot dogs. After you've built your burger, it is time to out the beef to the test. I found my burger to live up quite well to the juicy moniker. It was delicious and the cheese was great as well. I'm sure it was real cheese and not the fake stuff you find on fast food burgers. I did also get the fries, but they were nothing to write home about. All in all you can expect a great burger from Juicy Burger at a price that is a couple dollars more per person than you would at most fast food spots. Definitely give this place a try if you're a...

Such a cute find! The customer service was great here lots of yummy options, really loved the make your own burger style I've never seen that before and I was able to make my burger exactly how I like it. It was juicy but I have to say I really didn't like how toasted my bun was, this is obviously an easy fix so I'll just be asking for a regular bun next time. The house sauce is SO GOOD please please please put this on everything you order also i believe the ranch is also homemade is was very good. I got the onion rings and they were juicy and super crunchy on the outside, I also ordered the fried mushroom burger, it sounds better than it is i probably would prefer just a grilled mushroom than the little crispy bits. Will definitely be back, i spent 20$ on my burger combo with an onion ring upgrade and went home with left over onion rings because they have great...
