Boulevard Burger

Best burgers in town! they opened recently and I love the food here, quick service and they have a wide variety of burgers including Veggie burger and turkey. Also they have regular and sweet potato fries. I absolutely refuse to go somewhere else.

I was so excited to try this place out because it has been sitting in my bookmarks. I don’t know… I was just hoping for more. I ordered a blue cheese burger cooked medium well, side of sweet potato fries, and a lemonade. My burger was def cooked well done and was a bit salty. I wish I ordered the banana shake. I’ll probably just head to Val’s burgers next time.

Went in sat for ten minutes no one even said hi and had a waitress sitting down playing on her phone been waiting to try this place never will I come back wish I could put negative stars

I hate feeling like I need to update this review, but I’m just not as happy with BLVD as I once was.
The burgers always seem a little over-​salted and if you try and call an order in it’s a fiasco. Either they’re too busy so they just don’t answer the phone (annoying) or you get someone to answer and they either, a) keep saying they can’t hear you or b) they ask you to repeat every single thing.
I know it gets busy and I know it gets loud. I even know that sometimes my cell phone reception is crud, but when I’m sitting in a quite room with full bars and you keep asking me to take you off of a speaker (which you’re not on), well, I just hang up.
We’ve tried about 3 times in the last month and just figured forget it. I guess if I really want to pay extra for a salty burger I can drive down there and order in person. *sarcasm*

How have I not heard of Boulevard Burger until now?
My friend lives in Castro Valley and recommended Boulevard Burger because it’s her go to place when she doesn’t want to cook. We came here on a whim and I’m glad I gave it a try. I ordered their BLVD burger with lettuce, tomato, pickles, grilled onions, pepper jack cheese and chipotle aioli on the side (glad I got it on the side so that I could use it as a dipping sauce for my curly fries). I only ate half, so it was pretty filling. Decently sized and tasty too. I like that you can fully customize your burger or opt for one of their specialty burgers.
I also ordered their spicy curly fries — $ 3 and enough for two with a side of ranch! They weren’t very spicy to me, but I’m not complaining because I personally can’t take too much heat. I had enough leftover for lunch the next day and it was still as good! My burger and curly fries were under $ 10.
My friends ordered their mixed green salad (they give you a large portion!) and pulled pork sandwich to name a few. Everything looked good. They have a sizable offering of specialty burgers, sides, sandwiches, salads and shakes (unique flavors such as bananas foster, fruity pebble and english toffee!). I also like that they offer ⁵⁰⁄₅₀ (unique blend of ground bacon and beef!), turkey, black bean and chicken burgers — there’s something for everyone. Definitely want to come back to try these options.
Boulevard Burger is trendy and cute (love their glowing sign inside), but still has a family-​like feel. The gentleman behind the register was friendly. I didn’t realize we were still there past closing, but didn’t notice any hostility!
Good food, reasonable prices and a cute interior — I’m definitely a fan!

Great Burgers !
Kid Friendly ! But no changing table. There is plenty of room in the bathroom for one guys.

Great service, awesome burgers, and large portions! This place is really good! Kind of feels like you’re in an old fashion diner. Great place to have a sit-​down lunch.

I’ve been here at least a dozen times, it’s definitely time for a review!
Blvd. is consistent in their service and experience. I love their sweet potato fries and all of their menu options. Is anything ever bad when you can put a fried egg on it?!? They have different patty options, including chicken and vegetarian choices, or try the ⁵⁰⁄₅₀ which has bacon mixed into the ground beef. I’m a huge fan of their chipotle aioli and their sweet potato fries.

These people really know how to make a real burger. The garlic fries and onion rings were also very good.

I just had the curly fries yummmy. They were freshly cooked, hot, seasoned well, crispy and very Tasty!
The customer service is top notch too!
A family friendly restaurant with good burgers and fries!

The burger here is picture perfect.
Sure, they use a frozen patty, but it comes from a local butcher shop in San Leandro. It comes on a super soft brioche bun, stacked with fixings like onions, tomatoes, and lettuce (at your request). The hamburger is advertised as «cooked medium», but like other reviewers, mine came well. I actually don’t mind that because I prefer my burgers to have a firmer texture. The hamburger patty was well formed, still juicy and seasoned with salt and pepper. Onion rings are beer battered and crisp.
I’m not sure about all the complaints about BLVD being overpriced. My burger was $ 5.50. You can’t get a burger and fries for less than $ 15 at any of the new hipster burger joints in San Francisco or Oakland.
I found the service to be fine, accommodating but not overly friendly.

Had the Blvd. Burger with Swiss cheese and grilled onion. the board says that they make it medium. I got the burger and bit into it, and there was absolutely no pink at all. the patty and bun had no flavor. all I tasted was the grilled onion.
while I was sitting at my table waiting for my food I noticed that the dining area was not too clean. napkins on the ground everywhere and crumbs on the tables.
all in all a below average burger. fits right in with the rest of Castro Valley food options.

Why they get anything less than 5 stars… I don’t friggin know but this place is the Mecca of burger joints. Everything was incredible. Onion rings!!! On hit, garlic fries! Like att park fries. Chili cheese fries!!! Yes please… This is real chili folks with chunks of meat!
Get any burger you want and load em up! Good god

Always saw this place but never stopped by to try it until today.
I came for lunch with my mom and brother: my mom and I shared a grilled salmon burger and a side of coleslaw, my brother got the ⁵⁰⁄₅₀.
The salmon burger wasn’t too bad, the salmon was pretty well cooked, but the burger wasn’t too unique in itself. It had the salmon filet, a piece of lettuce, and a mayo sauce. The coleslaw was definitely homemade without that pungent coleslaw smell/​test; I appreciated that!
My brother enjoyed his burger, but it wasn’t one of the best burgers he’s had.
It was an okay experience, we were full after our meal. We hear their shakes are good, so maybe we will come back in the summer time to try those!

My family went when they first opened and havent been back since. I may go back to try it again, but first inpressions are so important to my family.
We each ordered basically a normal cheeseburger, fries, and someone ordered onion rings.
The burger was ok. A bit dry, no seasoning, and it was a thick patty. If it were a tasty juicy patty, I would have had no problem. We really had to go crazy on the ketchup to make the burger go down.
The fries were too greasy, but I tend to like greasy fries. Then the onion rings were a huge disappointment because the batter was so thick and overfried, it was not good at all. It was like a brown cracker covering onion rings.
I had high hopes for this place because it looked like the first hipster looking burger joint in castro valley. I was expecting a great burger to combat Val’s in Hayward… oh well.

The food was bland and WAY overpriced. The only workers were teenage boys who didn’t seem to give a crap about anything. The seating area was less than half full and every single table had trash on it. We had to move trash to another table just to sit down. Nobody bothered to clean any of the tables until we had been there about half an hour. The food came out very scattered, first fries, then shake, then a burger, then salmon burger, then 2 salads, then another burger. Is it hard to wait until you have the food ready to serve it?
No utensils came with our meal. That’s fine — we went looking but their utensil bin was empty. Finally asked for forks for our salads — the kid came back several minutes later with 2 forks saying they didn’t have any more clean ones and would we be OK with a plastic one? We were ok with plastic but honestly I’ve never heard of a restaurant not having clean utensils.
The garden salads were good and came in a HUGE bowl. The balsamic dressing was literally gel. Wouldn’t even pour out of the cup. The tomatoes were extremely bitter on all the salads.
My salmon burger was very very greasy. And I think it’s silly they charge like $ 10 for it and it doesn’t come with anything. Just the burger itself. And they have no side salads, you have to order the giant bowl salad.
The shake was OK, tasted like something I could have gotten at jack in the box. Wasn’t anything special. My dad’s burger was plain. Boyfriend’s Cobb salad was alright. My sister’s veggie burger was bleh.
In short — overpriced, greasy, inattentive staff

Move over Val’s, there is a new burger king in Castro Valley/​Hayward area (no pun intended). And no, I am not talking about the fast food chain; I’m talking about the best burger spot in town. Its hard for me to find a good burger place in that area. I will definitely come back and try some other burgers.
Ordered a Guacamole burger with a ⁵⁰⁄₅₀ patty and a side of chipotle aioli. A ⁵⁰⁄₅₀ patty is made of 50% ground beef and 50% ground bacon. The bacon flavored burger patty was heaven in my mouth. Who doesn’t love bacon?! The specialty toppings I got were a little muted for my taste but the side of chipotle aioli brought the burger concoction together. I was hoping for a little more heat from the jalapeños. Also the burger was a little on the smaller side. on a size spectrum from Umami Burger to Vals, BLVD Burger is more on the Umami side.
I suggested going to BLVD burger because I saw their huge trendy sign glowing from CV blvd. Walked in and wasn’t disappointed, loved the sign. Anyways, the layout of the restaurant is a little funny. You would think the the main door is the right because you see all the seating on that side. I think the front door is the left one because thats where the menu and cashier are located.
Side Note: The ⁵⁰⁄₅₀ patties are cooked by default as medium well; I like my burgers cooked more on the medium rare side so I’ll see if they can undercook it more.

I’m very disappointed in how this restaurant has progressed. The food can still be good, if you get it. The service is terrible. They have no sense of how to bring out food for a table. I was given my grilled cheese, obviously because it was getting cold. All the cheese was hard. Then we got the fries. Then five minutes later my fiancé got his burger. The last time we came, he had to eat his salad with a plastic fork, and I was given a ripped off half of a Togo box as a plate. They don’t buss tables at all, I’m always sitting next to a pile of dirty dishes. I’m so disappointed, we used to love this place. Now,
We will never be back.

I had their milkshake (chocolate) and their burger + fries.
All were very delicious and I am impressed by the quality of their food.
The milkshake was a perfect consistency and it wasn’t too sweet or thick but it wasn’t watery either. Just right :)
Their burger was hearty. The buns held up to the juiciness of the burger.
Fries were nothing special.

The ⁵⁰⁄₅₀ patty, which is the star of the Sunnyside burger, is a lovely concoction made of sirloin and bacon. It might be a heart attack waiting to happen, but combined with a sunny side up egg and some avocado, it’s pretty much perfect. Add in some garlic fries and a cold beer and you will be in comfort food heaven. My b urger was moist and not too greasy. The portion of fries was so generous I couldn’t finish them. They were served really hot and were nice and crispy. Of course, there are tons of other options on the menu, so you can find the combination that’s perfect for you.
Service is fairly friendly and fast. The place is pretty spotless, especially considering steady stream of business they have at dinner time. The prices are reasonable, they have a private lot, and are located right by a traffic light. No excuses. Give them a try.
