About This Spot

Walking into 1/4 Giant Burger, you immediately sense the quiet comfort of a classic neighborhood burger joint that’s seen generations pass through its doors. The pace here is unhurried, a steady rhythm where familiar faces congregate and casual conversations float beneath the hum of sizzling grills. It feels like a spot where time slows just enough to savor simple pleasures and reconnect with local roots.

The atmosphere is welcoming and clean, reflecting a recent refresh that blends a sense of nostalgia with a fresh start. Outdoor umbrellas invite patrons to linger over their meals while sharing stories with neighbors, hinting at the restaurant’s place as a communal living room more than just a place to eat. The friendly team behind the counter contributes to this warmth, their upbeat service making you feel seen in a way that larger, buzzy spots often miss.

Here, the menu doesn’t shout for attention but offers modest, satisfying comforts: burgers grilled fresh, fries with a perfect contrast of crisp on the outside and tender inside, and classic indulgences like a root beer float that invite a moment of playful nostalgia. The careful preparation and consistent quality are what keep locals returning, offering a familiar yet personal experience with each visit. Whether you come craving the bacon double cheeseburger with grilled onions or seek something a bit lighter, like a turkey burger served on crisp lettuce, there’s a sense of thoughtful attention to everyday favorites.

1/4 Giant Burger is a quiet reminder of the enduring joy found in small details — the satisfying crunch, the rich savor of melted cheese, the chatter shared over a table of fries. It’s a place held in steady affection by those who value good food accompanied by genuine human moments, a true local landmark in Hayward’s dining map.

This is the only place I know of in Hayward where I can get a turkey burger It is also reasonably priced. I can’t eat the bun so it is on lettuce. This is my go to spot in Hayward for a burger.

Still the best burger around!! Looks newly updated, cleaned up, and very nice!! Food still has same great classic taste it always has since I was a kid. Everyone was nice and the food was hot and fresh, fries so hot I had to wait. I got the Bacon Cheese Burger with grilled onions, so good! Shakes are still thick and delicious too! Leave them a nice tip for their hard work, especially with all this hot weather. Thank you!!

My first time here and I'm am throughly surprised! It was great! I guess they had just reopened from a remodeled and it looks very clean. Only criticism is that they should get a speaker system to call out orders are ready. Burgers prices where reasonable too.

Good burgers but it lacks something, like to be more different than others not just location

An institution for burgers in Hayward. Fresh made burgers, and the fries are crispy in the outside and soft on the inside. I ordered mine with a root beer float. The root beer float satisfied but it isn’t A&W. Sat outside under the umbrella and shared my table with locals that have been coming here since they were kids. I highly recommend this place! The people working here are upbeat and friendly! Tips- -Local owned please support -They give you salt so you can salt to taste -No public restrooms -customers are friendly too!

Been going here for years. Nice to see that they freshened up the place. Plenty of parking, pretty easy access off the road. Great burgers, most of the time the fries are nice and hot, in fact really hot That's the way I like them . The burgers are generous for the lettuce and tomato and there are plenty of condiments. You can get sodas or shakes or both. There are other locations around the East Bay, not as many as there used to, but they're all pretty much equally good including the two that are on MacArthur boulevard, one near High Street and one near fruitvale. All in all, one of my go-to burger places. Pro tip, have plenty of napkins ready or just bring your roll of paper towels that you keep in the car.

The hubs grew up here, and hasn’t been in 25+ years. He said nothing has changed, except the sidewalk (won’t slip & fall when it rains now). My first time trying, and let me say, IMO, it lived up to everything he said. Very fresh and VERY delicious! Every time we come to Oakland, it will be on my list! Great quality and quantity for the price. Double cheeseburger + fries and a bacon cheeseburger + cheese fries= $36ish
