The chopped cheese is my personal fav. Food is good, but it definitely feels heavy after eating. On multiple occasions I got the sense that the bar tenders are annoyed by particular drink orders. Atmosphere overall is great, except Im personally not a fan of screamo music that they tend to play on a regular basis, however, it doesnt stop me from going. Its a great place to chill with friends.

Pretty empty spot for lunch but I bet its a dope apot when buzzing. I got the 2fat2skate burger and it was incredible! Such an amazing flavor profile. $5 craft veer specials are dope too. Counter service & you bus your own table so "service" isnt really applicable although the girl taking the order was nice and talkative. 110% if Im ever back in Oakland Ill be here.

Fun bar with great burgers. Chop cheese is good too and pretty authentic, but Im no expert. Plenty of beer options and a full bar. Staff is fun and friendly. Get the pickles spicy!

I dont eat burgers much in the past decade but ever so often I indulge and I have to say this was one of the best pure tasting burgers Ive had in that period of time. I keep it rather simple without too many sauces and condiments to confuse the true taste so Im not giving credit for any smoke mirrors enhancements that some joints do to enable them to charge alot while masking average at best quality.

Whenever your in the bay area, stop by and taste the best beer and burger combination on the West Coast. Best management in the business.

Beeryland is an Oakland gem. It has a delightfully grungy vibe with great food and greyhound slushies that are perfect on a hot day. This summer we hosted a party with them, and Cheyenne was awesome to work with. They have a fun photo booth in the back too :)

The world is changing fast, I never thought Id see the sun screen bottle next to the cash register, like it was hand sanitizer. So I walked away with my hands filled with sunscreen thinking I was about to clean my hands, no I was just protecting them from the sun LMAO ๐Ÿ˜‚

Great gats piece on the wall, other than that it was a rip on first Friday. Tiny plastic cup of a drink at a huge cost.

OK food. However, when I walked in without a mask, the maskless person behind the counter told me I needed one. If a restaurant is going to make patrons wear masks, please make the employees wear them too.

I hesitate to post this as this is one of our favorite places to go for a beer and a burger and it is pretty small. Weโ€™ve gone during the day, during the week at night and on a First Friday. If you like to hang out in a place filled with graffiti covered walls and tables and beside tattooed, pierced and skate boarding people who listen to eclectic music drinking an ever changing selection of draft beers, this is the place for you. Last time I was there, I complimented the cook on the burger and he told me heโ€™s never tasted it as heโ€™s a vegetarian. That is the kind of place it is.On a crime note, we take BART or Uber/Lyft to downtown Oakland. Car break ins are so common especially at night when there is a show at the Paramount or Fox that you donโ€™t want to risk the aggravation and hassle of dealing with broken windows.

I am known from time to time for indulging a 51/50 or patty melt, both of which are made to the highest quality of burger making standards. Shout out to the queens, kings, and emperators that run that beautiful kitcken

Solid beer garden with a nice Oakland crowd, good vibes. Didnโ€™t eat but others seemed happy with the food. Enjoyed the Negroni slushy but a pint was maybe a bit too much for me.

The heavy set person taking orders was very rude and practically belittled me to the point that I just had to ignore her. I know this is Oakland, but lets be honest with more new places like Lovelys opening up with better customer service, I could see this place not being relevant in the near future.

Its just alright. We both had the 5150 burger which was decent, but the buns tasted stale and cheap from the grocery store.Biggest let down is they dont have a fryer, so no fries/onion rings/tots. They serve bags of chips with the burger, but you dont get to choose what kind. The 5150 came with sour cream and onion.The space itself is really cool, but the food was mediocre.

Tasty burgers and sandos for the carnivores, the herbivores and everyone in between. Jovial staff. Casual outdoor dining adorned with colorful murals and wooden picnic tables. Nice selection of cocktails, slushies and beer. Nearby street parking is easy to find.(5/5Impossible Burger: One of the best veg-based patties Iโ€™ve ever tasted; flavorful, juicy & well-seasoned.(4/5Mac & Cheese burger: when you crave carbs, meat and gooey cheeseโ€ฆ and nothing else will do.(4/5Green Bean Sandwich: crispy green beans tossed in vinaigrette, cheese & pesto make tasty flavor combo, tho it easily falls apart.(4/5Cucumber Pickles: balanced acidity, thick crunchy slices

Love this place. Such an awesome vibe. Solid beer menu and delicious burgers. Love the Kono burger, its my go to and their pickles are delicious. If you youre having a rough day - grab a pint, eat a burger and finish it off with one of their Mangonadas - youll feel better after that for sure!

Great burger! I especially appreciated how they watched my drink, as I have been spiked before. Thanks so much for doing that, despite how awkward I may have been when asking! 5 stars for that alone.

This place is incredible! I love the staff, they are always so nice and seem to be happy working there. I got a delicious burger, the Terp Ranger, which has a 5150 patty (half bacon, half ground beefand a grilled square of Mac n cheese on top of it. It also has pulled pork, but they are currently not serving pulled pork as a result of COVID supply issues, so I got a Terp Ranger without the pulled pork. Outdoor patio has dope local street art. There is also a full bar outside. All-in-all a great scene!

Beery-land is great. Staff is so cool and chill, good burgers. Outdoor and indoor seating. Looks just like a dive and it is, I guess, just a dive with good beer and some good eats to go with it. Usually there are a few chill dogs hanging out at the picnic tables. Ride your bike on the Telegraph bike lane and park outside at the bike corral.The burger comes with potato chips, they dont have fries. They have a large selection of draft beer and there is a full bar in the back.

Nice enough beer garden with SD picnic tables. QR code ordering, and the food and drinks come quickly. Not a great place for conversation because the music was really loud and there was no place to hide from it. Would love to have seen the volume lower since we all have masks on and its harder to speak and be understood when theres too much noise.

This is one of our favorite lunch spots and after work happy hour joints. The manager, Jason is a master BBQer and if you ever see a social media post that they will be BBQing, be sure to rush down there before it runs out. Burgers are off the chain, and there are non-meat versions available. The full bar and beer selection coupled with the large our door patio (with heaters available on cold daysmake it one of my favorite local spots!

This place has great tasting burgers. It isnt your boring menu, but whats mainstream, with a twist. Bacon, and macaroni & cheese on a burger! Kim Chi too! Who woulda thought? I got the telegraph burger w/cheddar and it was great. The only unfortunate part i think was it seemed a bit slow. I think it was just one person at the grill.Anyhow, they have a full bar on the premises in the back. The place has an indoor area as well as outdoor area. I recommend the outdoor for the fresh air. Half of the outdoor area is covered. If you go during the noon hours, you might find yourself looking for relief from the sun.

This beer garden offers some of the best burgers in Oakland!!! Also the home of the 2 best stunt burgers Ive ever had. The Mac and cheese burger, and the pulled pork burger are game changers.

Basic burger joint with low cost and cold beer. Shared bench seating. Creepy homeless people come into eating area and beg for change. I would Mark four if it were not for the homeless.

We were very excited to eat here, as we have heard great things about their burgers, but the entire experience was horrid. The burgers were extremely under cooked even though we ordered them to be cooked to medium. We also ordered a side of Mac n cheese which had no redeeming factors. It was flavorless, lacking in good cheese, and had a cardboard-like consistency.They did, however, have a delicious and impressive choice of interesting mustards and a good cider.

A hip location with good drink options and great food. I had the pulled pork sandwich and a few beers there. A majority of seats are outside and uncovered, though there are some in a shaded area. Fortunately i went on a cool, sunny day. The environment there is very young and hip with modern rock, some rap, and indie music. Ill definitely be back!

This place has a true vibe to it. Lots of color and character. Catch a nice day to go enjoy a delicious, tender, juicy burger and an ice cold beer. Vegan options available as well. Price is a bit steep, but the quality is there, so dont fret. Full bar available as well.
