Gott's Palo Alto

This is my second favorite burger spot in San Jose. It’s good enough that I think about it whenever I’m near Palo Alto. Both the California Burger and Kimchi Burger were great, so I’m always curious to try their rotating "Today’s Burger". so far I’ve seen options like the Pineapple Burger and Lobster BLT.

1st experience Monday 6/23. Great tacos, good portion size. Not so good garlic fries. They were a bit overcooked & unseasoned. However, onion rings are divine. I know what to order next time. Onion rings & plantbased chicken nuggets.

Ordered the poke tacos and peanut butter milkshake. Both were good but nothing exceptional. Location is convenient and prime. Parking usually not too difficult but you may have to circle around to the back.

Great place to get a nice burger in the area. The place has indoor and outdoor seating. Indoor is decorated clean and modern, while outdoor area is more desirable. We tried the special- grilled pineapple burger and kimchi burger. Both are delicious, right size with French fries. We went on a Saturday, the parking was not easy as it is located at a very busy plaza.

Authentic American Burger, a must try Situated in Town & Country Village, walking distance from Stanford, It was a very good burger, so tasty and recommended to try, the fries as well were good, they have the burger with grilled pineapple which is good and the grilled corn cob as well Indoors and outdoors seatings

Will let's start with the fact that everything is a la carte, no combos... the burger was alright, the menu states that all burgers are served med, a little pink, i thought cool, however both our burgers had no pink, were burnt on the outside and were very dry, that was exaggerated by the small spattering of bbq sauce on my burger. I ordered a peanut butter and chocolate shake, yeah that was a peanut butter shake with Hershey's syrup on the bottom of the cup, don't buy that expecting their take on a Reese's shake. Oh and then the fact that they gave us our burgers but said we had to wait for our shakes, we only waited for our shakes because they batch making them? Didn't know why the shakes were batch made when everyone else's was coming out with their order. We didn't order any sides because we felt $50 (including tip) for the 2 burgers and 2 small shakes was enough money. Will never go back again too pricey for what we got.

Got the Cheeseburger and chili cheese fries. The bun was cold (not even room temp, actually cold) and meat was apparently cooked in advance as the food came out very fast but it was served cold which gave it a cardboard taste. The fries lacked flavor as well, food is very underwhelming overall.

It’s always a great meal at Gott’s and this location is no exception. Easy parking, nice outdoor seating with heaters, great food. Our entire family including the kids, found food they liked. Burgers, fries and salads were all excellent but the fried brussel sprouts were a stand out.

Town & Country Plaza is lively, especially with the college campus across the street--lots of families, friends, and a laid-back, chill burger spot. The service was quick, and the staff was helpful. The only downside was that my garlic fries were cold when I picked them up from the counter, but the burgers more than made up for it. I had never tried a kimchi burger before, but it was amazing--it blew my mind! Definitely recommend stopping by, whether solo or with a group of friends. There's plenty of space, and the restaurant layout works well given the high foot traffic from Stanford University nearby. The prices are also reasonable, which is great, especially for Palo Alto.

Tried this spot for a quick bite. I can't feel more sorry for myself. Ordered onion rings, garlic fries, kimchi burger with veggie patty but it came with a bacon. I had to reorder since I am vegetarian. Person who took was least interested and did not even inform about bacon. Next horrible part everyone in the family went sick for a week with food infection. So think once before visiting this place

Tried Gotts Roadside few months ago They had a limited-time 25th Anniversary Burger, and it was AMAZING. Double-stacked beef patties, melted Gruyère cheese, caramelized onions, and garlic mayo. I'm not usually a fan of onions, but the caramelized onions in this burger were surprisingly delicious! The garlic fries are crispy, savory, and totally addictive. They also offer some great healthier options, like fresh salads, for when you're in the mood for something lighter.

Located in town and country, this restaurant is a great place for a casual place to eat. I had a great experience here starting with the friendly and funny employee taking our order. He was very personable and welcoming. I appreciate all of the vegan options here even though it's more of a retro dinner vibe. They have something for everyone! I'd never tried impossible nuggets before but I loved them and the sweet potato fries. Their sauces were also amazing- the honey mustard was my favorite! I'm looking forward to trying more menu items. There's lots of inside and outside seating making this a great place despite any weather.

Thought I give this place a try as I was in the area. Decided to order the chili bowl and cheese fries. The cheese fries were delicious. But sadly, the chili was horrible and I would not get this again. In my opinion, chili from a can would've been better. Nothing to say about to service, other than you order up front and you pick up your order when called. There were a couple of TVs around the restaurant playing the college football game and people reading outside. Parking can be a bit troublesome depending on the hour you go.

Most of this review is based on my experience as a parent with two small children, so please bear that in mind. Located in Palo Alto's Town & Country Village, this spot makes some decent burgers. Upon walking in, you see two very large boards to your right with menu items and a screen advertising specials in the middle. I've been here twice now, and both times I didn't realize/remember as I started walking in line is that the two boards are different, so be sure to check out both. The kid's menu is on the left board. There doesn't seem to be a menu at the counter either, I only saw the specials, so best remember your order or if you have a larger group, jot them down on your phone ahead of time. You order at the counter, they give you a buzzer for when your food is ready (pickup all the way to the right/back of the restaurant), and they hand you your drinks at the counter. Problem is, I had ordered two kid's meals with milk and a drink for myself, and they all come in the plastic cups with lids and straws. That meant I was wrangling two toddlers while trying to very precariously balance three drinks just waiting to drop and explode everywhere. It would be great if they offered a tray perhaps here. If the place is crowded, you have nowhere to set anything down without the kindness of strangers willing to temporarily share their table. There's a lot of booths and tables inside, and tables outside with covering. Despite it sprinkling rain, all the tables on a late Saturday lunch were being used, so the shelter seems excellent. We were lucky to snag a booth inside, and sat down waiting for our food. There's a very narrow area with napkins, condiments, and water near the food pickup area, so there's often a line of folks standing beside this area. Folks getting condiments and water also often have their trays of food with them so it's often in the way as they leave it there to grab their things even though the item you want to grab is available. This is inherently only a solo parent with small children issue, but that process took a longer time than comfortable to leave small children sitting alone in a booth. Eventually buzzer went off and I went to pick up our food. They have to-go boxes and utensils behind that counter so be sure to ask for them if you need it. The food comes in small disposable trays that seem slightly too small for your burger and fries, so I also ask for an extra paper tray to spread the items out. The food is decent. The veggies for the kid's meal is raw and the carrots are thick (not ideal for toddlers) but fresh. The chicken tenders are interesting (different from what you might typically expect) and small, but my kids seem to enjoy them so served its purpose well enough. Next to the condiments section is a trash area and tray return, but we were lucky where a staff member helped collect from our table for us (this mom appreciates you!). All in all, good food with a slightly steep price tag ($16+ burgers without complimentary fries, $9 kid's menu). Ambiance is kid friendly but the layout and drink pickup at the counter is really not conducive to solo parent with little kids for sure. Will be back only if my partner or another grownup is with me, or adults only. I'm sure otherwise the experience is great.

I've been here a few times and the food is always delicious. This time, I got a turkey Wisconsin burger and onion rings. There was a bone in the turkey patty. Otherwise, the food was delicious. It did take a long time to receive my order which was unusual. It was a little noisy but not very crowded yet. It had been remodeled since I was here last and I think the sound carries more than it did before.

Gott's Roadside in Palo Alto is a gem in our community, and Julien and his team deserve a massive shoutout for the fantastic job they do every single day! My family and I always have a pleasant experience here, thanks to the welcoming and fun environment, fresh and filling food, and the incredibly humble and kind staff. The recent expansion and remodel have elevated this spot to the next level. The newer bar area is a great addition; the clean and crisp lighting adds a modern touch. Service has also become even quicker. They put a lot of thought into making improvements while keeping the same charm that makes Gott's unique. This is truly a staple for both the Menlo Park and Palo Alto communities. Whether you're grabbing a meal with a sports team from across the Bay, fueling up before a Stanford game, or celebrating a win afterward, Gott's always delivers a lovely dining experience. We can't wait to go back. Gott's is more than just a restaurant; it's a place where memories are made. We highly recommend it!

Loving that this location is closer and slightly more convenient, however, with the already bustling PA Town & Country Center it can be a bit hectic getting in and out of the center. Went on a weekend and Gott's was packed, luckily they do offer outside patio seating at high top tables and bench tables. Line to order wasn't too bad and service time was short. They were out of their seasonal item but opted for the Citrus & Avocado Chop and a side of Garlic Fries. The Citrus & Avocado Chop - romaine & red leaf lettuce with asado spice-rubbed chicken, cilantro-pumpkin seed dressing, oranges, tomatoes, black beans, pickled red onions & quinoa, topped with avocado, toasted pumpkin seeds & Cotija cheese. The salad was good besides the chicken, it was cold, tough and dry. The rest of the salad was delicious and felt like all the toppings were balanced in proportion. Garlic Fries - a must get here, a good classic fry with delicious garlic flavor without being overpowering or sharp tasting or bitter. Prices are typical and not bad. Came out to around $20 for salad and fries, prior to tip.

My family and I got the December specials when we were here which were the crab burgers and salad. I think the salad was fantastic, the same with the burgers. I do wish it was available for longer than just the month but it was pretty good! It's pretty much self serve here. You order your food at the counter and pick it up when it's ready,

Just got the onion rings and strawberry milkshake and I like both. I usually don't like onions but I love how juicy and crisp of these.

It always feels a little pricey but dangit the burgers are good. Gott's is well known around the Bay so instead of repeating the basics, I'll just note that this location feels pretty relaxed and they often have sports playing. Don't sleep on the tuna sandwich.

I just went to the Napa (Oxbow market) AND St Helena locations in September and loved it, so I was super excited to try the Palo Alto location. First off, Town & Country "mall" is a parking disaster. If you've ever been to any of the shops here then you already know. If it's game day, it's even worse because people park here and walk to the game. Service was incredibly slow. We ordered at the front and then kept checking the pickup counter to see if our order was ready because everyone else was getting their order before us. (TIP: order on the app/online ahead of time!) They have monthly specials so I tried the French dip sandwich but I think their burgers are probably a better choice. The fries at this location were good.

We stopped by Gott's after a late soccer practice on a Monday night. This was our first time back since they remodeled. FOOD - Kimchi Burger 4/5: it's a really great burger, but something today seemed a bit off, just not as flavorful as I like it... maybe a difference in the kimchi? - Plain burger w/ lettuce & ketchup 5/5 : my oldest isn't the most adventurous eater but he loves this burger. Plenty of meat, cooked perfectly, and he has a lot to say about the bun. - Chicken tenders 5/5 : My youngest fancies himself a tender / finger connoisseur and these are one of his favorites. He says sometimes they aren't as crispy, but tonight they were - Oreo shakes 5/5 : They didn't like that we got small instead of the large, but they definitely like the flavor and consistency

...Coming back to this location after few years. They remodeled the whole restaurant and added a bar to the existing dining room which looks great with upgrade. The ambiance is still a little noisy at pick hours. Order system is the same, but food looks better and more convincing. My entire order was made freshly and to my liking. I can see Gott's made a progress and I give them credit. My green chili burger was tasty and for the price, I was happy with what I received. Service wise, still semi self service. You place order, pick up your order and boss your table. All and all Gott's become decent lunch spot in the area.

Rating: 3.5/5 I had the Kimchi Burger and was really looking forward to it after hearing great reviews. The burger was very good and lived up to the hype! The patty was nicely cooked--not too salty or too greasy--with a good amount of juiciness, which I think is hard to nail, especially for someone like me who isn't an avid burger lover. I was pretty satisfied with this dish overall. My boyfriend wasn't too hungry and went for the **Thai Salad**, which was also good. It had a generous portion and a nice topping of chicken that tied it all together. Overall, I'd recommend this place! It was a solid experience. I'd give it a 3 to 4 stars the food was enjoyable, but nothing extraordinary. The service was fine, but there wasn't much to comment on. The ambience is casual, and on a busy day, it can get quite loud. -

Good food, lots of indoor and outdoor seating. The chicken tenders were super crispy! Very excellent, kinda remind me of chicken tenders I had when I was a kid. They were tender but very small. It paired well with the ranch. The ranch dip was maybe one of the greenest I've seen, very herby. The fries were nice and crisp. Nice and long for dipping in ketchup. The cookies and cream shake was perfect, so creamy and oreo-y. Can never go wrong with a shake from Gott's. Be aware that there may be wasps in the area, I was having a nice meal before one seemed really interested in my fries and landed there. It eventually flew away, but other than that, good vibes around at town and country village.

Came here with a big group to celebrate the holidays. Something for everyone! There were tacos, burgers, impossible burgers, salads, etc and it all looked really good. I had the ahi tacos which were yummy and a side of fries. I'll be back to order a burger next! Thanks for the casual, quick meal!

I think this spot is okay. I wasn't impressed, but it wasn't bad. Food: You can tell that the ingredients are fresh and the meat was perfectly cooked. However, I thought the food was bland for what I ordered: Green Chile Cheeseburger and Garlic Fries. The fries could have had more garlic as it felt like the garlic was an afterthought. The burger had no kick, which I'm used to and love on a chile burger. If you want a chile burger without heat, this would be a great option though! Service: The food was prepared fast for how busy the restaurant was for this Saturday evening. I ordered to go and waited maybe 5 minutes.

Good burgers, hotdogs, and shakes. Perfect for a quick and casual dinner; the space easily accommodates parties both big and small. We came by with our party of 6, and felt very rushed by the cashiers to make our selections. Keep in mind it was the first time for some of us, and they also didn't offer to help by giving recommendations given the extensive menu. They were also out of a lot of shakes and ice cream flavors even though it was only around 5pm. However, we were able to order the cookies and cream shake and that single-handedly made the experience here worthwhile! We waited about 30 min for our order, and realized although the cashier was rushing us, they didn't get our orders right and missed a few items as well. At that point we decided to enjoy what we received and it was still a solid meal. Price point came out to about $160 for 6 people.

We are now in the age of $18 hamburgers. Alas there is a cheese burger for $11 fully loaded with all the garnish and delicious bun. That's right the Gott's basic cheese burger, you will not be disappointed. It's counter service which is fine to keep the cost down. The ambience is clean with steel, wood, glass and abundant seating. Nothing fancy just a good solid burger. Of course you can pay $18 if you're so inclined to step up your game to one of their scaled up burgers. In Palo Alto give them a try. BTW the hot dog looked Pretty good too.

Awesome burgers!! Quality meat! Great ambiance and delicious soft serve ice cream as well! The service is also fast and courteous! Great job!

We brought half my daughter's soccer team here one Sunday afternoon. It worked out perfectly with the Large long tables to contain them hehe. They enjoyed burgers, fries and drinks. The parents were happy with their tuna burger, green chilli burgers and fries. Most importantly they had a COLD hazy IPA ok tap. 1/2 Bottles of champs for $35 (we didnt get that) and Large TV screens that were showing Football! Great time all around. Perfect spot for a relaxing winter meal with tons of kiddos.

I waited 30 mins for my food, the fries were so cold and soggy I had to ask for a new one. My burger clearly wasn't fresh, the patty had been sitting for some time. Oh ya, burger alone was also 16$. Horrible. Parking is very difficult in this complex to boot. Avoid like the plague.

Great fried chicken schnitzel sandwich with lots of veggies inside. Sauce was just right and had some spicy taste; chicken was crispy outside and tender inside. The bun was good. Fries and onion rings were good too.

Gott's is one of our go to burger spots. I like all the different flavor profiles of the burgers on offer, and I like that there's a lettuce wrap version, which I almost always order. Their salads are tasty, too. I really enjoy the Vietnamese chicken salad and will order that if I'm not in the mood for a burger. It's a super casual place and great for groups as everyone orders and pays for their own food up front before finding a table.

My husband took me here because he saw that they have meat free options. I ordered just the simple "impossible cheese burger" But it just wasn't as good as I had hoped. The burger patty and bun itself was pretty good, although the cheese was not melted at all (disappointing and bad texture) and I'm a huge pickle person but they had an odd texture and taste? This burger comes with "secret sauce" which no secret, is usually that one thousand island dressing similar to in&out which I actually hate so I'll be ordering without it next time! The 2 side orders really saved the meal for me. I love onion rings and this place makes it perfectly! The batter isn't thick, perfectly crispy and the onion actually cuts with each bite so you don't eat accidentally pull the whole thing out your first bite. The garlic fires were equally as good. Fries are on the softer side which I prefer and the garlic isn't overpowering, just enough flavor in each bite.

Gott's roadside is always our fav for a quick cheat day dinner. We visited after a long time this Friday, and were surprised to see that they expanded the indoor space. They have a brand new bar area and seating is easier to find thanks to the expansion. Cheeseburgers were great, only the bread could have been a little bit more fresh.

you've gott's to go! was the name of my work event that took me here, isn't that so cute!! I was whispering it to myself all day (you've gott's to go,,,, you've gott's,, to go,,,,,,, u've gott's,,,, 2 go).... It was a good burger but a simple burger. I cannot deny the greatness of a classic American burger but was this one a $16 burger???? Esp when In N Out is nary 15 min away? Hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Custard goose tho!!

My husband and I came here on a Saturday afternoon. There was no line so it was easy to order. We shared the Texas avocado burger and sweet potato fries. The order took a little bit to come out, which is fine. To be honest, I thought the price point was a little high as well but the burger was REALLY good to me. I felt like it was cooked to perfection and the bun was perfectly toasted. We got avocado ranch with our order and it tasted so good with the sweet potato fries. I will probably come back if I want a gourmet burger in the future!

Classic American food like burgers, hot dogs, fries, and shakes. The produce is fresh and everything was super tasty. This location is crawling with children and dogs, lots of noise and always busy. It's casual dining where you order at the bar, get a buzzer for when your food is ready, and find your own seat. The portions for the price are way too small. All of our food was around $50 before tip. We got a salad, fries, ahi burger,and hot dog. The fries and ahi burger were a particularly small portion. We were hungry after our meal. Nothing crazy about the food here but it's got something for everyone and perfect for a casual family night out. I want to come back and try the soft serve it looked so yummy!

I had the California chicken sandwich. It was very good. Bread wasn't soggy. My husband had the Cobb salad and he liked it. Prices were reasonable. It was better than we expected.

Still decent for burgers and more. It gets very crowded and service can be slow. Very casual and better than most fast food places . This location is expanding so I guess business is growing.

The burgers are really good, and the fries are great as well. The milkshakes are decent (my favorite is the mint one.) Definitely can be noisy around 6-7 pm but overall really good. The food should come within 10-15 minutes depending on size of your order.

Love the variety of selection of burgers and sandwiches but hated the wait. Not sure why people who ordered after us received their food first but waiting 30 minutes for two burgers was not the business. Taste wise, though, it was really filling and fresh, so I can't be too upset. It kept me full all day! Plus, I loved the fries! It was a really spacious restaurant but gets busy during lunch hours. I liked that there was a tv in the back for sports (at least that's what was playing when I went) and self service water and hot sauce. A bit too spicy for me but flavor packed. Wapow!

This place has a little bit of a lot but done decently. Definitely family friendly location inside the Town & Country shopping center. Plenty of seating inside and out. You go to the counter, order, get a buzzer and then pick up when your food is ready. Casual atmosphere, nothing too fancy. Great place to stop with a group & everyone wants something different.

Wide variety of food options and very friendly front staff who are always happy to help you decide on the menu. Good portions on your order(s) where it's not too much nor too little, and neatly presented at pickup. Definitely a go-to spot for us and would recommend it if you're in the vicinity!

Long line not worth the flavorless dry $16.99 burgers. I almost choked trying to chewing it down. I should have brought it back to the counter for my money back. Fries were also dry and cold by the time we got our food. (The two stars were for the amount of tables they had inside and outside and their ketchup tasted pretty good. Like it was made in house.) We should have gone straight to the Stanford game and bought food there. Also note: getting in and out of the plaza is awful. No parking and if you find one you will be so tight you wont be able to open doors.

Great vibes, mediocre food. Gott's marketing is enticing - they serve seasonally themed special entrees, apps, and shakes each month. July's blueberry shake special had my friend's mind in a chokehold for the past few weeks, so we checked it out. Unfortunately the "blueberry" flavor was non existent and the shake tasted like "heavy milk" (quote). I ordered the kimchi egg burger subbed with veggie. I appreciate that Gott's offered a traditional veggie patty sub for no extra charge. Turkey patty was an extra $2 and impossible meat patty (bleh) was an extra $4. The burger was fine. The better notes of kimchi, egg, and gochujang were overshadowed by the plain bun and American cheese. My friend reported the Wisconsin burger and sweet potato fries were "fine but not as good as the menu photos made them look". The remaining monthly seasonal specials look intriguing but I'm not sure if I want to risk mediocrity again... Logistics: - indoor and outdoor seating - strip mall parking but extremely crowded - easily make burgers vegetarian

Gott's Roadside is my go-to place for burgers and shakes! I first discovered it during a trip to Napa Valley, and I was thrilled to learn about its several locations in the Bay Area. The California burger (5/5) is packed with flavors and layers of taste, featuring bacon, egg, cheese, though I personally opt out of arugula. The cookies and cream milkshake (5/5) is a personal favorite--so good that I'd rate it a 6 if I could! With an Oreo cookie surprise at the bottom, ordering a large can easily be shared between two people, and its creamy taste is just perfect. As for the sweet potato fries (4/5), they come with aioli sauce. While not the absolute best I've had, these fries have a unique character--thin and flavorful. I preferred them over the garlic fries I've tried in the past. Parking can be a bit challenging during busy times since it's situated in a plaza. Expect to spend about 5-10 minutes finding a spot. Orders can be made either online or at the counter, with online orders being my preferred choice for saving time. Just ensure you select the correct location! In terms of the dining environment, I'd rate it a 2 out of 5. The self-clean-up policy results in somewhat messy tables, so it might not be the cleanest place. Despite that, it's still a great fast-food spot for a quick bite. I'll definitely return for their incredible burgers and shakes!

If you're looking for something a little more elevated than in-n-out but not so elevated that it breaks your bank, Gott's Roadside is the perfect fit! We were craving burgers and milkshakes after a hike with our dogs so we dropped by for a quick bite. The line to order food was pretty short but I think waiting for food itself took a little longer as the family before us had a massive order. We were able to find a table outside which was great because it was nice and sunny out. We ordered the double cheeseburger, green chile cheeseburger, fries, vanilla shake, and two unsalted patties for our dogs.We thoroughly enjoyed everything that we ordered! The burger was hot and juicy, fries were salty and crisp, and the dogs really enjoyed their patties. We will definitely be back to try out more items on the menu! Those onion rings look fantastic.

Amazing cheeseburger and big dining area. The bathrooms are so clean! Love this place.

The good - French fries and onion ring were both great! The ok - Burger patty seemed dense and was not something I would get again. Very average. The bad - Stand in line to order, have to pick up your own order after your buzzer... buzzes, and get your own water. Which, when I refilled my water I noticed a floating bug. Gross. The dude at the pickup counter was so expressionless when I picked up the order and just seemed like he had a bad attitude. Same with other customers too. How about "enjoy your meal" or a smile or anything! I feel like an idiot for giving a good tip since everything is self serve and especially after picking up the food, and picking up things/ throwing out things after.

Popped in for a burger and was delightfully surprised. Had the green chili cheeseburger as a lettuce wrap (no GF bun offered) and it was messy but great. Burger was medium rare and mayo had a little kick. Would definitely order it again. Nice beverage options from sodas, shakes, beer on tap, and wines. You order at entrance counter and get a buzzer to pick up your food when it's ready. Didn't have to wait long and there was a good crowd here. Order staff were super nice. Basic dining room. Wood tables, wood benches and metal chairs. Outside/dog friendly dining also available. Music in interior dining area WAS NOT loud which I REALLY appreciate. I'll be back!

Tasty burger/sides for a casual sit down meal! The menu is extensive and has burgers, sandwiches, tacos, salads, etc. The portions aren't huge (between fast food and restaurant sizes), but a reasonable price for what they include and for seating. There are a bunch of tables indoors and outdoors (with heat lamps) and you just order at the counter and grab your own table. There are tons of burgers to choose from, and they're all loaded with a bunch of toppings! I really appreciated the sesame bun too. The line moved pretty quickly, so even on a busy dinner weekday it's easy to grab a spot. Parking is easy since it's in the town and country plaza

Food is good, service and cleanliness are terrible. A far cry from the beloved St Helena original.

My family has eaten at and ordered takeout from Gott's for years and it can be pretty hit or miss. It's not that the burgers are bad; they're just not reflective of the high price point. Honestly, you can get a burger of the same quality (if not better) from In-N-Out. They why the 4-star review, you might ask? Well, one thing Gott's does right are its specials. They have a new one every month, and they're a nice change of pace from their usual offerings. For example, this month's special happened to be a Cubano. The description sounded heavenly, so I decided to get it for dinner, along with some fries. This thang looked small, but was PACKED with meat and flavor. The pulled pork was tender, the ham was salty, the Dijon mustard was strong and smoky, and the creamy mayo ensured the sandwich wasn't overly salty. The pepperoncini peppers added a pleasant mild heat and a bit of snap. I wish they were better distributed across both halves of my sandwich, tho. I honestly didn't even need the fries after eating such a delectable sandwich, which were nothing special. Just an average side of fries. To sum it up, they have okay burgers, but the specials are where it's at. The shakes and soft serve are pretty good, too.

If you're going to come here for anything at all, get the Vietnamese salad and the garlic fries. That's it. I'm not going to lie, for an American burger joint, the burgers were lackluster- I had to re season it myself after several doordash orders left me disappointed. The Vietnamese salad is amazing, what an original dressing like and sesame vinaigrette! Make sure to use lime and ask for an extra serving of the dressing to take home as it's amazing. The fries are flavorful but just make sure it's lightly seasoned with salt and paprika. I've only dined in here once but the vibe is just casual and chill since this location is in a pretty popular plaza. Overall: 8.5/10 recommend

First time at Gott's and it was solidly mediocre. I enjoyed my ahi tuna burger, but it was $18 with no sides and small. My friend donated one of her avocado tacos to help fill me up. Fish was nicely seared and tasted fresh, and the slaw had a nice bite to it. Fluffy and lightly sweet potato bun paired nicely. Casual atmosphere with no table service: order at the counter and pick up your food at another station when your buzzer goes off. Convenient location to Stanford and I'd return if invited, but not a restaurant I'd pick.
