Pearl's Burger in Mill Valley is good, so is In n Out. the bullshead in West Portal (SF) is awesome and Bistro Burger is great. But I think teh best burger is at Marin Joe's. The meat is grilled over a wood burning stove and... I dont know what else to say. Its awesome.

Darla's on Irving is good too. Oh, and so is Jeffrey's in San Mateo.

fuddruckers was a good place til they closed the one here in UC

Red Robin is my second pick

theres this place called Chubby Burger on Thorton which i drive by all the time but never had the chance to go in and try it out. maybe since this thread came about, i ill give it a shot and give my review. There was another place over on Central right near Cedar but they closed down and that was one spot i always went to after school.

Maybe its the location? The rivermark(santa clara) and Newpark mall (fremont) one's haven't done me wrong yet.

i was a frequent customer at the new park mall one and made good friends with the manager. i remember me and my buddies went there one night and experienced horrible service and complained. the next time we went in, she was no longer there lol

rivermark red robin has definitely treated me well. YADDA!!!

With google the way it is, I'm surprised no one has mapped out their favorite spots for food and just posted it up as a Gif/jpeg or location thing like Google already has.

Yeah Val's is great but I give the edge to 1/4 pounder off McAurther in Oakland. Ask for grilled onions, bacon, chilli, on a double pattie, you'll be lovin life baby!
