Was Doug Pouros at Bongo Burger a mag?
I can't speak to Bongo Burger's main burgers since I don't eat them, but I can say that their chicken dishes are fantastic! I relied heavily on Bongo Burger's chicken meals during my last two years in Berkeley and have always been impressed. View all feedback.
What Dell Mayert dislikes about Bongo Burger:
The burgers at this restaurant are decent, but I've had better at various other places. It doesn't quite measure up to burger joints like In-N-Out or Islands. They do offer some unique burger options, but overall, it's not outstanding in my opinion. I still dine here because the food is tasty and there aren't many burger options near the campus. The prices are reasonable, though some items can be a bit pricy. The ser... View all feedback.

It was my first time yesterday and it will be my last time. first it was freezing inside. then i saw the 2 guys making the food Not wearing gloves, they were touching the food, lettuce, tomatoes and making sandwiches with the same hands touching the register and the grill. it was disgusting.

Although the price is a bit high for a burger, every time I've gone, I've loved it. The fries are alright, but I usually stick with just the burger. The wait time isn't much, and the workers there are nice. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
I decided to try this place after seeing a recommendation. While I always enjoy exploring new burger spots, I have to say that my favorite burger is still In-N-Out, especially when factoring in cost. I arrived early and was the first customer of the day, which gave me the opportunity to observe how the restaurant prepared their food. One thing that stood out to me—but not in a good way—was how they handled the grilled onions and bacon. Rather than cooking fresh ingredients in the morning, they simply reheated leftover onions and bacon from the previous day and used them for my burger. That was disappointing because I expected everything to be freshly prepared, especially for the first order of the day. That said, there were some positives. The onion rings were excellent—crispy, and cooked perfectly. I really enjoyed them. The burger itself was just okay. One detail I found odd was the cheese. Instead of a traditional slice of cheese, they sprinkled cheese particles on the patty, which didn’t quite give the same melt-in-your-mouth experience. As for the drink, the Coke (Pepsi) was fine—nothing to complain about, but nothing remarkable either. Overall, it wasn’t a bad experience, but I wouldn’t go out of my way to return.
