This place has great burgers -- not gourmet burgers -- but smallish, flamebroiled, late-night, slightly too many condiments, toasted bun, shredded lettuce, greasy goodness burgers. And they have great fries and shakes. But the price is simply outrageous. A few years back, they were reasonably priced. But they've slowly inched their prices up and they have hidden burger fees (like "deluxe" -- which basically means standard). Most significantly, they have no combo pricing!!! Cheeseburger, fries, and coke will run you nearly ten bucks. I repeat, this is not a gourmet burger joint, but a walk-up greasy joint. It should not cost nearly ten bucks for a basic combo at a place like this. The folks her work there have gotten ruder over the years as well.

These guys serve up traditional American burgers, hot dogs, shakes, and fries. Everything is kept extremely simple but extremely good. A double cheeseburger, fries, and a large soda will run you about $10. It's totally worth it. It's like In-N-Out, only better and more authentic. They've been serving Berkeley since 1951. The outdoor picnic tables are a great place to relax with lunch on a lazy weekend. I highly recommend the Smokehouse.

I tried this joint becaus eof all the great reviews. Man was I disappointed! At first I saw how small the patties were on the grill. I thought, maybe it tastes good since everyone is raving about this. Well, I just finished a double and I'm still hungry. I had to add a ton of salt to my fries because my burger didn't have a taste. Even In-n-Out, Nations or the jumbo jack at Jack in the Box has more flavor. this palce has been compared to Barneys but I refuse to pay that much for a burger. No taste on the meat, small size. Close to $9 for duble cheese and fries and no drink.
