Original Giant Burger — Restaurant in San Leandro

We drove past this place countless times... I think we were actually a bit afraid to try it and it did look closed to us most of the time (you won't see many cars there, unless you drive past during lunch time).

Yelpers helped us make the decision and boy we didn't regret it in the least. Their food is awesome, the owners are super nice, the wait time is not that long and we keep on coming back for more. My (before) fav burger place was either In-N-Out or 5 Guys (depending which was closer and cause they both have a lettuce burger wrap), but not anymore. These burgers are phenomenal. The value/price is also amazing (for this price you won't get this big of a burger anywhere else).

Husband always orders a cheese burger combo (burger, fries and a drink) and is never disappointed. The meat is juicy and properly grilled, the fries are nothing special, but we like the fact that they are not salty as they usually are everywhere else. My favourite is the grilled chicken burger. I don't think I've encountered a tastier chicken in any of the burger joints so far. I skip the bun (and pickles), cause I'm gluten intolerant and I don't really like sweet and soft bread buns, but that's my own personal preference.

We haven't tried anything else from their menu, cause we just love those two things so much, but maybe the next time I'll dive into it and choose something else.

Don't let the looks deceive you, they are more than...

Giant is a good descriptor for the burgers here. Fresh vegetables bring a bit of life to the bites that you don't get from a chain, and the seasoning of the patties are savory and delicious. It is honestly difficult not to make a mess while eating, so bear that in mind, and eat over a table! The fries although a bit bland, had a nice crisp to them, showing their freshness, and with so much drippings from the burger, it's not the worst thing in the world.

As much as I enjoyed this spot, it kills me that they are essentially a lunch during work type of location.

The hours don't really give you the option of taking it home for dinner, and unless you get into work a bit later in the day, the breakfast option seems like a wishful thought. There is an assortment of other options as well, including hot and cold sandwhiches, but I haven't had a chance to try those yet.

They are open on Saturday, so I do say give them a try, just be prepared for a bit of a long wait. It'll be...

My girlfriend and l just left Giant Burger two(2) hours ago and enjoyed a Bacon Cheese Burger and two (2) Teriyaki Chicken Plattes w/salads & dressings...watching the sunset at San Leandro Marinia!!! Everything was great...fresh lettuce, tomato, red & white onions on burger and salads! They had ample drinks available but l drink 'alkaline water' and it was not available! They have delicious thick shakes, assorted teas, soft drinks (cans & fountains), assorted Arizona's, coffee, ...not to mention assorted cheese cakes slices! The couple who own and operate the establishment are courtesy and always know; if you have been there before by acknowledge you by speaking! They are limited in extended conversation but your order is clear and concise! People who frequent the place openly engage in conversation and laughter but grab their orders quickly! The food is hot and reminds you of how it use-to-be...fresh, crunchy, and plentiful! Pleasant yesterday,...
