What Danny Troutman likes about John's Char-Burger:
Best burgers in Livermore. Honestly best burgers I've had. Fries are so fresh when they come out. Shakes are great! I love the banana shake. Cute old diner. The service is great as well. View all feedback. What D Hutton doesn't like about John's Char-Burger:
Greeted with RACISM! Unfriendly staff! Would’ve been nice to get to order I show up with a broken ankle and leg bone in crutches and know one helped me at the window? Waited ten minutes they stared at my family and I like we were see through and never spoke! We politely left will never come back. Retired USN veteran can’t even pay to be served in my own Country! This was sad I pray they go out of business! I do food... View all feedback.

Call ahead for To Go orders. They usually take 15mins. Wish they took online orders.

Everything was delicious but the no AC building surrounded by a hot kitchen isn't all that fun.

Despite the mixed reviews, this restaurant seems to have a dedicated fan base for their delicious burgers and old-school charm. However, recent changes in ownership appear to have impacted the quality of the food for some patrons. While some report subpar service and cleanliness issues, others praise the fresh burgers, crispy fries, and excellent shakes. With a mix of positive and negative feedback, it seems like this spot may still be worth a visit for burger enthusiasts looking for a taste of nostalgia.

Went here for the first time the other day and it was exactly what I was craving - a grilled burger with fresh onions, lettuce, tomatoes, etc.
