Scolari's Good Eats

The blueberry burger is insane. So unique and flavorful. I'm also a sucker for blue cheese so it doesn't hurt! We also had the korean chicken sandwich and garlic fries, both were excellent. I love that you can order the food and they'll bring it to the bar. An ideal setup really.

The food is phenomenal and they have both vegetarian and vegan options available. Super small space with a couple counter seats inside, but otherwise tables available out front at the parklets. I had a vegetarian "Good Ol' Boy" and a half-order of Buffalo Fries, both of which were super tasty and extremely satisfying.

I was craving a light sandwich and the B.A.T hit the spot! The chicken sandwich was ok. Not pictured were the truffle parmesean fries and they were delicious! $48 for 2 sandwiches, 1 half fries, 1 soda.

The food was nice! And the service was fast. The tables outside were a bit dirty but it wasn’t a big deal.

Been coming to Scolari’s since they opened on Park and their fries and sandwiches (burgers, chicken, fish) are delish! I recently had their fish sandwich and it was battered and fried to perfection.

I went here on a Sunday morning. The 1st time I came here, the food was phenomenal. But recently I came to order to-go, and my food was horrible. The burger was somewhat edible, but extremely dry, almost like it was left sitting out. The fries were completley inedible, they were burnt to a crisp. I spent $45 for 2 burgers and a large fry, which is already on the more expensive side. For that price, i would expect a lot better quality. I don't know why this time was so bad, but I don't think I will be back. Would I suggest others to eat here? No, because it is a gamble on the food you will get. Just go to In & Out instead..

Turned onto this place via a Tik Tok search for hidden gems in Alameda. It lived up to it’s name. The owner was extremely friendly offering up advice on ordering, specials, and even offering indoor seating at their sister restaurant across the street, since it was raining. Scolari’s doesn’t have indoor seating, but does have covered tables outside along the sidewalk. My wife and I both ordered burgers and some fries for our boy. The fries were bomb. My blueberry burger was $21, expensive for a burger, but well worth it. Truly a gourmet burger.

It's a very casual hole on the wall type of place. They team up with next door bar since there is no out very limited seating. You can order food and take to the next door bar and have drink there. Or can you go to the bar for drink but order food next door ;) Burgers and sandwiches are delicious however very greasy oily, specially fried! You need to rely on free or paid street parking.

Some things are just made for each other. Beer and pizza? Check. Beer and garlic fries? Check. Beer and corn fritters? Check. Scolari's delivers next door to Lucky 13 and that's a great thing. It's simple and fast and makes both places a little better.

This is a consistently good food spot in Alameda. There's no indoor seating but you can take your food to Lucky 13 next door (another good spot) They're quick and friendly. The Buffalo Fries can pack a punch. I think the best thing on the menu is the Blueberry Bluecheese burger, I just can't always justify the price. Definitely check them out.

This review is purely on the service.. The lady on Friday night is dishonest and scummy. I luckily ended up seeing this separate transaction of 6.83 on my card as I was still in the area. I went to ask about it and she said it was the tip I left, which I didn't remember leaving but I said oh well my mistake. I ended up calling my bank later because I had a gut feeling, and my bank said this transaction happens 13 minutes after my initial transaction so it clearly wasn't me who put in the tip and had to be the lady (who again lied to my face). I won't be coming back here purely on dishonest service. I hope this doesn't happen to anyone else.

We enjoyed two different burgers and a specialty sandwich which included coconut shrimp along with peanut butter and jelly. All our dishes were very fresh, flavorful, and large in portion. I would certainly come back here again.

1303 Park St Alameda, CA 94501 On Sunday evening, around 7pm, I went to the popular "Scolari's Good Eats" to grab a Cheeseburger and Fries to go. In short, the food is good, service is good, but the prices are high. But you get to say you enjoyed the food at a famous local restaurant. 1303 Park Street is where you order. From there you have the choice of: - Takeout - Eat outside in a parklet - Go next door and eat in the bar, that has a patio. If you choose to eat there, they give you a number and they will bring you your food. But be aware, this isn't fast food. I had to wait 15-20 mins for my order. From the menu on the wall, I ordered: - Classic Cheeseburger w/ everything, $17.50 - Parmesan Truffle Fries, full order, $14 Gave the friendly server a 15% tip, total= $40.12 (incl tax) The Classic Cheeseburger is excellent. It's well balanced and delicious. Don't let that tall stack of lettuce concern you. You're not getting served a "salad burger." You will taste the medium rare meat patty and creamy cheese coating. The pickles and onions got my attention. The Parm Truffle Fries were a bit soggy and semi-crispy. Their dark color suggests they were "twice fried." Twice fried french fries are super crispy if they're plain. But they can get soggy quickly if you add toppings. My fries were tasty, but not very crispy. Overall, a good experience. https://www.scolarisgoodeats.com/ Next time, I will probably get plain fries and try the chicken sandwich.

First time ever coming here, it was recommended by one of my friends. This is an order at the front, wait for the food situation with some picnic tables in front of the business. What a lot of people do is order food from here and get a drink from next door. The service was a little slow and they weren't that busy, so that was a little confusing. Overall, the atmosphere is pretty chill and just hang out with some friends vibes. We all felt the price was relatively high and not really matching with quality. The hot chicken sandwich was barely even hot but the chicken itself was pretty crispy which we liked. The chicken was kind of small for how big of a bun they give you. Plus the flavor wasn't all there, the thing that saved this sandwich from being bad was the jalapeños but if those weren't there it's pretty meh. The pizza slice was pretty good! I live for a good crust and this one fell a little short with the taste. My favorite thing was the fries, they come with chili flakes which were delicious but it seems like the toppings were small for how many fries there were. More garlic and chili flakes please! Overall I think I would find myself back here if I'm in the area but I don't think I would ever seek this place out. It was honestly just too expensive, pizza slice was $9 when usually pizza slice are max $6? I don't know, just seems like too high for quality of items. Parking was not a problem this night and Alameda street parking after 6pm is free!

4.5/5 I've been to Scolari's for years and this place has good quality burgers! It definitely hits the spot. My go to here is the blueberry bacon blue cheese burger. My friend didn't enjoy it as much as me, so if you're not into the sweet/savory flavor combination then I wouldn't order this. The fries are crispy, I believe they are twice fried, and the garlic scampi is loaded with fresh garlic. They don't have seating inside and it's a walk up and order place. However, you can grab your burger and enjoy it next door at Lucky 13 with a beer or they have outdoor seating available. The outdoor seating doesn't have heaters, so I recommend going on a sunny day if you want to enjoy sitting outside.

My cousin recommended this spot and I'm so glad she did. The burger was delicious and so were the Parmesan truffle fries. And they also have really good ranch.

Triple B burger with blue cheese, bacon, and blueberries was definitely a huge burger with unique components. It took a long time to get from their food truck at Almanac but it was good and I liked the sweet and savory combination. Their fries looked pretty cooked through so decided to skip that.

The burgers and fries were delicious! Juicy and messy just as a good burger should be! The fries were crispy and very tasty! The gal taking orders and bringing us the food was very friendly and helpful. It's all outdoor seating, but thankfully it's a beautiful day and there is plenty of outside seating available.

Even after several years, this burger joint is one of the BEST. Their beyond burgers are exceptional, almost better than their beef patties. My favorite is the blueberry burger! Highly recommend stopping by whenever in Alameda.

Amazing strawberry burger with blue cheese crumbles and fresh cracked black pepper! One of the best burgers I've ever had

Food here is great service this lady named Bella. She's so good and quite lovely to order from come see her ambience street kitchen come and get some burger.

When I want to scratch that "I need a burger" itch this is the spot! Picture this a perfectly peppered patty (say that 3x's fast), blue cheese, bacon cooked to perfection, red onions, blue cheese & the cherry on top... drum roll please blueberry sauce that just puts this sh*t over the freaking top. This place stays with a constant flow of people ordering this divine creation along with an array of yummy fries ( my fav is the buffalo wing style). Team that works here is on point, the burgers are a must have & you can take them to go, eat outside or grab it along with a beer next door at the bar. If you need a burger this is the place to grab one don't bother any place else.

Best looking, but worst garlic fries I've ever had. They were soaked in oil, no crisp to them, they had a good garlic flavor because of the mound of garlic but other than that I wouldn't order these again. I highly recommend trying them with plain yellow mustard, that to me, was the only saving grace. In defense of Scolari's - their blueberry, bacon bleu cheese burger is excellent (but not sure if it's worth $21). Overall I like Scolari's, the food is good but the fries are definitely lacking. Definitely quite overpriced though, that's the biggest turnoff.

Scolaris really is a one stop shop for everything you're craving! You want a giant slice of pizza? Sure! A Nashville hot chicken sandwich? You bet! Chicken tenders? Got it! I got the regular chicken sandwich because of my misunderstanding on what I thought the person working the register was asking but it still turned out perfectly delicious. The chicken sandwich was huge! The batter on it wasn't too hefty and crisp on it was near immaculate. The mayo worked well on the sandwich itself and was delicious. I only wondered how much better the spicy chicken would've tasted but I loved the regular one as well.

Ate here for lunch at 12:15. Walked right up and ordered at the counter. Ordered the classic cheeseburger with a half order of fries and a lemonade. Guy taking the order was friendly and prompt. We sat at the tables outside, but was also given the option to sit inside the bar next door. The food was brought to the table. Food was fresh and perfectly cooked. I was pleasantly surprised with this place. It is great for a quick lunch spot.

My family and I visited the Almanac Brewery this evening which has a Scolari's food truck. My brother got the blue cheese blueberry burger. Omg. I've never seen anything like it. I myself don't eat burgers but my brother assured me it's his favorite and not his first one. The sheer size alone is impressive. They definitely don't skimp and it's hard to believe it comes from a food truck. Service was great and sitting outside enjoying the evening was an added bonus. I have eaten at their brick and mortar location on Park Street many times and it never disappoints!!! When corn is in season the corn hush puppies are a must! Highly recommend both locations.

One of the best burger places we've ever been to!! My boyfriend got the blueberry bacon blue cheese burger and said it was the best burger he has ever had. I had the wimpy burger and it was the perfect portion for me and was like if a McDonald's burger was made fresh and tasted excellent. Fries are great too. We ate outside and waited only a couple min. Will be back lol.

Possibly the best burger in town! We ordered the classic and their new mushroom special. The medium-rare patty was so juicy, and we loved the perfectly toasted bun. The fries were good. Although we planned to take a bite and eat the rest at home, we devoured everything there. The line gets quite long, but it moves quickly. We're already planning a return trip this weekend!

Food was great however the service took longer than expected . It took about 30 minutes for a chopped cheese and a friend of mine waited about 40 minutes for a cheeseburger while chicken tenders and fried chicken sandwiches came out with quickness. When asking about an order update the cook in the truck with a dimple would smirk and make conversation with other staff and would tell us another 15 minutes after being quoted 15-20 minutes when ordering . Customer service could use a little bit of work but the food was delicious .

Delicious lunch here this weekend! We were craving a good burger and this hit the spot. We each had the original cheeseburger and shared a full order of the garlic fries. The patty was juicy, onions were crisp, and the brioche bun was soft and toasted. The fries had a lot of garlic on them with a little spice and citrus and were fried to perfect perfection. The accompanying sauce ( i don't know what it was) also paired well with the fries. It's a bit pricey at a $50 meal for two people without drinks, however, I would return again for a delicious burger. Outdoor seating is nice on a nice day and the cashier was friendly. Recommend!

Favorite burger in town and worth every bite. Service is quick and ambiance is great because you can grab a local beer to enjoy as well. Their food truck can be found at local breweries as well.

It's a very casual hole on the wall type of place. They team up with next door bar since there is no out very limited seating. You can order food and take to the next door bar and have drink there. Or can you go to the bar for drink but order food next door ;) Burgers and sandwiches are delicious however very greasy oily, specially fried! You need to rely on free or paid street parking.

This review is for Scolari's food truck at Almanac Brewery in Alameda. Visited the brewery on a Saturday, was busy and the line to the food truck was long, took 45mins to order and waited about 20mins for the food after ordering. Was it worth the wait? Yes and no. The burger was excellent - tasty and juicy. The burgers are super tall so a bit hard to eat - a tad messy :) My husband had the chicken salad - looked pretty good, lots of lettuce and chicken. The fries were a bit too salty for me. The no part of whether it was worth the wait is that I was starving and I'm not sure I can justify waiting over an hour for any food, especially when I wanted to "line my stomach" before drinking :D

We finally got around to trying this place and I'm so glad we did. The burgers were delicious and the fries were perfect. Looking forward to going back

Still my favorite burger spot in town. This tiny shop doesn't have indoor seating, but they sure did set up 2 parklets right out front: covered and uncovered. Most people order and bring it next door to Lucky 13 to eat with their drinks. My go-to items are: SCOLARI'S CLSSIC CHEESEBURGER - $16.50 American Cheese, Pickle, Butter Lettuce, Red Onion, Tomato, House Sauce. This tall burger has like all the colors of the rainbow. It is gorgeous as it is delicious. The veggie toppings always taste fresh, and you can always tell they put a lot of care when assembling these burgers.The burger is cooked medium (pink center) by default unless you tell them otherwise. So juicy and flavorful! The challah bun it's served on is soft with the cut sides buttery and crispy. It's so dang good, and worth the price! BLUEBERRY BACON BLUE CHEESE AU POIVRE - $19 Peppercorn Crusted Burger, Blue Cheese, Blueberry Sauce, Bacon, Arugula, Red Onion, Basil Aioli. This unique burger is also a beautiful one! I personally am no fan of blue cheese, but with everything else going on in this bad boy it's delicious! You get the richness, some of the sweetness and mostly savory. I appreciate how much arugula they fit in there--makes me feel like I ordered a side salad! HOUSE CUT FRIES - FULL ($11) or HALF ($7) I always get a full order because I love the fries so dang much. It's crispy and fried to perfection. You also get House Sauce/Aioli along with your ketchup and it's so good. FRIED CHICKEN TENDERS - $14 Comes with Honey Dijon Dip. It's pickle brined, and you get 3 thick pieces. It's okay. I prefer more fried batter. I'm particular when it comes to tenders, but I'm still glad I gave it a try. The dip was more Dijon than I liked. I wish it were just the sweet honey mustard...the kind you add as a dressing to your salad. HAWAIIAN BLACK PEPPER MAC SALAD - $6 Fat Elbows, Creamy Sauce, Carrots, Green Onions. It was not creamy and it was not good, unless you enjoy food tasting like alcohol. Barely any carrots and the green onions was garnish. I figured since it was only $6 it was worth trying. I didn't enjoy it, but I learned my lesson. I still love SCOLARI'S and try to keep an open mind cuz I WILL order the same thing over and over cuz it's consistently good. Give it a shot.

**4.5 Stars - Tasty Burger, Good Service!** Stopped by Scolari's Good Eats and tried the burger and fries -- and I've got to say, it hit the spot. The burger was juicy, flavorful, and cooked just right, and the fries were crispy and seasoned well. Definitely a satisfying meal. The Service was also good-- friendly, and made the whole experience smooth. The only reason I'm docking half a star is the price. It's a little on the higher side for a burger, but the quality and taste does make it worth it. Overall, great vibes, solid food, and a spot I'd come back to when I'm craving a really good burger.

I would normally give this restaurant a 8 but tonight I'm giving it a 5, The food's delicious, The service was not what I'm custom to, The hostess are cashier I believe her name is Rebecca maybe not she was very rude to me , why I don't know I had a Togo order and several things I wanted you were out of it

The burgers here are SO GOOD! The portion is generous and the patty is fat and juicy. One burger is enough to last me 2 meals while my teenage kids inhale theirs. The price is justified by the quality of ingredients.

Really good specialty burgers! This is a cool spot in alameda. You can order your food and then take your number to the bar next door. The guys at Scolari's will bring your food over wherever you sit. I got the peanut butter bacon burger. I thought the peanut butter was too little in comparison with everything going on. The habanero jam was not spicy as I expected it to be. My cousin got the blueberry burger and I thought that was very well balanced in flavor. I also got a side of fries which were perfect.

Scolari's makes some high quality burgers and chicken sandwiches. They can be as decadent as you'd like, but after this Nashville hot dando, I likely have to gravitate toward the simpler items. Simple is still just as delicious though. They have a small location on park that you can also order from the bar next door, but I snagged a sando from their truck at Almanac. Can't go wrong where ever and whatever your order.

This has to be the best burger in NorCal. I never thought blue series on a Burger would be good but holy Jesus this burger is amazing. The service is great as well very friendly.

I was looking for a burger type of lunch. My lunch date suggested this place. So I arrived and walked up and was like oh where is this question that asks " is this place divey" because it is. It definitely located next to a bar so I imagine that there's a lot of back-and-forth. OK they have a parklett outside for eating but inside OK I don't have enough time to get into that. I'm hungry. I order an impossible burger. He said veggie burger I said impossible there was difference between the too and I ended up with a veggie burger because it obviously was not impossible burger meat, he gave me all the topping and I look pretty surprised the bun was cold when I got it or not toasted warm , but that's fine too. I ordered scampi fries thinking it was gonna be like a shrimp scampi type of situation, but it was just like an order of garlic fries. let's get into fries. How many times do you drop fries before you say let's just throw this batch away. I was hungry, so I started eating and dipping I got into the burger, which I realize it's not impossible patty. It wasn't for me. I will say at 2 AM after an evening at that the bar next-door - those fries dipped seven times in oil and served with some garlic on top would have probably been fine.

Bacon, blueberry, blue cheese, black pepper crusted burger is always delish!! I am moving away from the Bay Area and I will miss this burger. ALOT!!

Service could've definitely been better. My buddy is allergic to blue cheese and when asked to replace with American on the side, it was brought out to the table on a separate tray and literally plopped onto our table with disdain. The overpriced blueberry burger did not live up to expectations for what it cost. Ranch advertised as $1 extra but charged WITH TAX so it's over a dollar. Better off going next door to Jack in the Box. Fries were pretty good though.

Overall good burger! And good service. You can choose from dining indoors or outdoor patio.

$40 for two slices of pizza, two sodas and 3 mozzarella sticks is absolutely insane. All of the food was lackluster with little to no flavor and they're charging an extra dollar for their buttercream dipping sauce; ordered two of those and was only given one to split between both slices and the mozzarella sticks and the mozz sticks don't come with their own dipping sauce. The mozzarella sticks are listed as "Nashville Hot", but had no heat, leaving us to believe they just needed a way to justify them dripping in grease just as the pizza was. Who serves pizza and doesn't offer chili flakes!? The only thing that earns them a second star is their support of other local businesses, Alameda Soda Co. (amazing) and Lucky 13 (also amazing). Guy Fieri needs to come back and drag this place for giving up.

I've had this place bookmarked for a while and finally gave it a try recently. Sadly, I won't be back. For almost $27, I got a Far East Chicken Sandwich and an order of garlic fries, both were a disappointment. The fries were oily and crispy and the chicken sandwich was pretty bland. The peppercorn buttermilk ($1) was tasty, but that's about it. Good service but the food is a no for me.

I've been a fan of Scolari's good eats since 2010 and believe it or not I'm a vegetarian so most of the items although my friends rave about them I do still go meet free. The thing that surprise me the most that I always order every single time would be the buffalo fries. The perfect amount of spicy with the subtle amount of what I refer to as a fire extinguisher blend of cheese with shredded I find the service amazing mainly because it's quite easy to order and then I walk next-door to the bar called the Lucky 13 Alameda and they actually deliver to the bar. So if you can imagine hanging out with your friends having a beer and then grabbing a menu and ordering the best Bar food I've ever heard of that's also explaining the ambience. I saw them featured on both diners, drive-ins and dives and then once they showed up on check, please! Well, you've gotta find out for yourself.

Hands down, has to be one of the best, if not, the best burger place I've tried. Scolari's is also Guy Fieri approved! Stopped by on Saturday around 2 pm. There is no indoor dining but there are plenty of outdoor tables with shade under a wood pergola. Water is self-serve. They came out to serve the burger after around 10 minutes with napkins and plastic cutlery. The blueberry bacon blue cheese burger is my go-to. The sweetness of the blueberries and the creamy nuttiness of the blue cheese pairs perfectly with the crispy bacon and the juicy meat patty. It is sandwiched between a bed of fresh arugula, red onions, and a buttery brioche bun to hold this masterpiece all together. I admit I close my eyes and savor each and every bite. Is it $19 for the burger? ...Yes BUT I believe it is worth it. If you are in the area, I recommend to stop by!

When my friend suggested coming here to get the blueberry bacon blue cheese au poivre, I was skeptical by the combination of flavors since I'm not always a huge fan of sweet and savory being mixed. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the blueberry sauce completing the blue cheese and basil aioli. They only have outdoor seating and bring the food out to you which was fine since we happened to be there on a really nice day. I appreciated that they were willing to switch out the beef patty for a vegetarian one. It's a little pricier than I would love, but tasty enough that I would return on a nice day.

The food is good. The service is good. I just can't justify spending $17.00 + for a cheese burger. There's just too many places in Alameda to get a good quality burger without breaking the bank.

We went to check out their Blueberry Blue Cheese burger but their classic burger was way tastier to me. Patties were thicker and juicier for classic, and the sauce was super bomb. Blueberry burger has a lot of pepper and is much drier. Just wasn't a fan of the combination. Their fries are good though. Not crispy but big portions and good flavors. They don't have seats so you have to go to a bar next door. It was difficult to get drinks because the bar was really busy with one bar tender. It was a bit uncomfortable to have to go to another place to eat, no parking, difficult to get drinks, etc. but food was pretty good.

Looove the classic cheeseburger! Fries were a bit overfried today or I just got the bottom batch. But Love how the cashier young man hustles. Went today around 1:37pm, Saturday, 12/30/23, and enjoyed my burger and baby fries at Lucky 13. Order at Scolari's and eat at Lucky. Bus your garbage. Great food and even better company. Thank you and Happy new year! Beautiful holiday decorations! Very loud at times though but Sooo yummy and fun

I took my husband to Scolari's for a date night and was blown away by the blueberry bacon blue cheese burger! The meat was crusted with peppercorn and it gave it such a nice crunch. I've never had anything like it before. I normally don't like blue cheese but it was subtle and mixed well with the blueberry. I'm just a sucker for sweet + savory foods. We also got the good ol' boy. It was crunchy and not dry. I'm sure it would've been more flavorful if we did spicy but my husband can't handle too much spicy. The cilantro aioli was interesting but did not wow me like the burger did. As a side, we got a half order of the garlic scampi fries. These were pretty disappointing. It was so overdone and salty, yet lacking flavor. But going to the burger.. we are getting two of those next time! It was THAT GOOD. Scolari's itself does not have any seating, but you can take your food to the bar next door. Can't wait to go back!!

Not good, used to be the place to go. Burgers have shrunk, fries were not great and expensive prices for an average meal. Definitely wouldn't recommend

the blueberry bacon blue cheese burger is one of if not the best burgers I've ever had. Rarely does a burger justify a $20+ dollar price tag, but that burger was no joke.

The best burgers. The fancy burgers are great, but we love the classic wimpy burger! The Cajun fries are delicious and crispy. Recommend highly.
