"This East Bay institution has been slinging quality charbroiled burgers and dogs on Telegraph Ave since 1951. Any of their old-school burgers — including their vegan options — are excellent choices, especially when you make it your own with any of their 14 toppings available on the house. The milkshakes are a must and, in true Smokehouse fashion, you can mix and match here, too: combine classic vanilla with black raspberry, butterscotch with coffee, or beyond, and add in your favorite chocolate candy for no extra charge. Grab a seat in their back patio until they close at 11 p.m. or until midnight on the weekends." - Lena Park
