This place was a great spot to stop and grab a burger and fries, but they also offer Falafel and Dolmas! I tried the baconburger and it was absolutely delicious. The fries were crispy and crinkle cut, and they even offered Sriracha to mix into the ketchup (YES!). Overall, it was a fantastic spot for a lunch break in the area.

I have been coming to this burger spot near Oscars for 15 years and it is my favorite! They offer delicious krinkle cut fries and their burgers are top-notch with generous toppings, large size, and cooked perfectly. The baklava is also a must-try! The staff at the counter are always friendly and make the best Ranch Dressing. The chefs here are excellent and consistently deliver great food.

The Cal Berkeley Stack is a favorite among college students and families for its fresh and delicious food. They offer traditional burgers and fries as well as a delightful selection of Persian dishes to keep things interesting and tasty. Customers will not be disappointed.

The burger is HUGE, I didn't expect that and with tons of sesame seed on the bun, the fresh hot fries is good. EXCELLENT service with smiling friendly staff. Definately coming back for more. Parking is a bit challenging but with walking distance there's plenty in the residential side area for 2 hours parking. Meal type: Lunch Price per person: $10–20 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
