Love, love, loooove me some Trueburger! They produce some of the best (if not THE best) burgers in Oakland. I usually go to their location on Broadway since it's close to where I work now, but I was in the area and decided to hit up this original location. It had probably been almost 10 years since I'd eaten at this location before my most recent visit, but nothing has changed. The burgers still be hittin' like always!
Trueburger is consistent on all levels. Not only is the food scrumptious, but the customer service is top tier. The staff is hard working and thorough, and this is something that I always appreciate. And about those burgers?! Straight FIYAAAAH, babyyy! The Cheesy True has become my steez. It's everything that your little heart could ever desire on the perfect burger. A thick, juicy, and flavorful beef patty with perfectly melted cheese. Crisp and fresh veggies. A beautiful grilled brioche bun. Just an all around amazing burger for ya.
And, let's not forget about their delicious garlic fries and addictive milkshakes. I just feel like if you're already having a burger like this, you gotta go hard or go home. I almost always indulge and get a milkshake and garlic fries when I'm here. You can't say that you've had the "true" experience without it. The garlic fries have just the right amount of garlic without it being overwhelming. The shakes are amazing! I've had a few different flavors over the years, but I always come back to that damn banana milkshake. 'Tis bombtastic! They have a bunch of flavors to choose from, and you can never go wrong with their shakes.
The interior space isn't the largest, but it's still a comfy setting for dining if you want to. there's a beautiful of mural of Oakland on the back wall. The windows are large and offer a nice street view of Grand Avenue. And best of all; they keep it spotless inside! I usually order their burgers for to-go nowadays, but it's always nice to have a seat and enjoy my food there every now and then. So glad that this spot is still around and I will forever support them and their amazing burgers. All hail Trueburger!
