Best WLM Reviews
The Burger Bar/Burger Corner is a one-of-a-kind place for excellent old fashioned hamburgers, cheeseburgers, and other goodies. The hamburgers and cheeseburgers have sweet relish and mayonnaise so that might be an odd combination for some. Purchasing a bag of burgers is relatively inexpensive (as of writing $9.99 for five burgers or $12.99 for five cheeseburgers) although other additions add up a bit more.
A few small complaints: Similar to La Vic's (owned by the same family) drink refills are $0.60, which is a bit uncommon nowadays. There are no public restrooms, which is unfortunate. Additionally, (similar to La Vic's) the customer service is reasonable, and one gentleman working there is very friendly but some of the other cashiers could probably be a bit more friendly and courteous. The customer service is by no means hostile or horrible, but friendlier customer service is always appreciated and noticed.
The intersection of 1st & Keyes is quite busy, so the atmosphere is a bit loud and bustling with many cars blasting by. This section of San Jose is somewhat gritty, so I'd be cautious about your surroundings, especially if you are there at night. The Burger Bar is by no means responsible for any of these matters, but I think it is worth mentioning.
Overall, I would highly recommend the Burger Bar for their classic burgers, milkshakes, and other treats. There are improvements the business could make, but I think the food itself is worth the trip. They started in 1953, and I hope they'll continue on a whole lot longer, especially since the Burger Pit is gone now... Here's to the Burger Bar!
The burgers are okay and not what I expected.
The place gives you an old school vibe, which caught my attention. The service was decent, but they didn’t give me napkins. The burger was nothing special, but I liked the fries.
I don’t recommend, but it’s better than the corporate fast food chains.
I've coming here over 30 years. I used to live le than a block away, but now that I live over 70 miles away it's definitely a go to whenever I'm in San Jose. Classic dive restaurant that never disappoints!
This place is interesting, it’s a really good value but you have to like relish on your burgers. The chili cheese fries were a bit underwhelming but at the price point it hit the mark. Good spot for cheap classic staples.
Burger joint at the corner of a busy street. The bag of burgers is a breath of fresh air when it comes to the cost of burgers at other joints. The family sized fries are really family sized. They do not scimp. Large parking lot.
Pretty darn good value these days. Got the standard marquee burger bag, 5 hamburgers for $10.93 after tax. They're pretty plain, but have mayo and relish in them. Kind of tastes like a hot dog, but with a patty. They're about 4" in size and the bun is toasted. No frills as the other reviews say, and a great place. They're also definitely fresh as I saw them toss the patties down after I ordered.
This place has been around since i was a kid. On Fridays my family would stop here before going to the drive ins . Pick up a bag of juicy burgers for cheap. And very delicious. I like the steak burgers the best with the family fries. Mom. Service is great the people there are very nice and always get my order rite.
This place has been around since before I was born. My big brother used to take us for a bag of burgers when we were little. Five regular hambers with just relish and mayo for $2.99. Although the price has changed, the burgers are just as I remembered.
