East Bay

Sacs Tasty Hot Dogs ($)
2445 Springs Rd (Vallejo) | Phone: 707-642-2442
Recommended Dish: Hot Dog, add some ketchup, brown mustard, and sauerkraut
Comment: Okay this place isn't exactly a burger joint, they only serve hot dogs. But their hot dogs are tasty, tasty, and some more tasty. The basic hot dog is best in my opinion, but there are other options if you're interested.

The Red Onion ($)
11900 San Pablo Ave (El Cerrito) | Phone: 510-236-9462
Recommended Dish: Any burger!
Comment: The burgers are big, juicy, and dare I say, greasy? Onion rings perfectly fried. Chocolate malt so-so, but all of this for under $10! A great deal for good burgers.

Val's Burgers ($)
2115 Kelly St (Hayward) | Phone: 510-889-8257
Recommended Dish: Papa Burger
Comment: The service here is great. Nothing is served without a smile, the waitresses have a certain exuberance about them that just makes you feel like you're at an old fashioned diner.

Peninsula

Bonne Sante ($)
1184 Broadway (Burlingame) | Phone: 650-342-1529
Recommended Dish: Crabcake Sandwich
Comment: The portion of sandwiches, burgers, and fries here is unbelievable. One order of burgers and fries is enough to share between two people and still leave feeling full.

San Francisco

Rosamunde Sausage Grill ($)
545 Haight St (Lower Haight) | Phone: 415-437-6851
Recommended Sausage: Duck
Comment: This place is known for its selection, freshness, and tastiness of their inventive and sometimes eclectic sausages. Their tasty delights are fantastic paired with a light beer next door at Toronado. It's the only way to eat a sausage in a bun.

Tony's Cable Car Restaurant ($)
2500 Geary Blvd (Laurel Heights) | Phone: 415-931-2416
Recommended Dish: Idaho Crinkle Cut French Fries
Comment: This diner may not be the ritziest of burger joints but their food is fantastic. Their crinkle cut fries remind me of the fries we used to eat as kids and the burger patties are made from all beef. You can definitely taste the freshness in their ingredients.
