Easy ordering good burgers. The Cajun fries are very satisfying.
Order at the window or with a QR code, plenty of screens to watch sports.

Went based on a recommendation. Had high hopes. Very spacious. You order at the counter and the food is brought out to you. Food looked tasty but upon eating there was no flavor. Burgers were bland. Sweet potato fries needed a sprinkle of sea salt. My hubby’s bun was burnt, not edible. Surprised they would serve it. Two other people had semi burnt burgers but edible.

I’ve been driving by this place for probably 20 years and finally dropped in for a burger. In fact, I had my first ice cream cone across the street in the early 90s. So I have countless memories wondering what these burgers tasted like. I got the avocado bacon on sourdough, what a treat. Fries were perfectly crispy and light. Loved every bite. I can’t say much about sports paraphernalia but there are lots of windows and great natural light inside. Staff was kind and helpful. Will be back next time I’m around!

The place was amazing, with a small mom and pop shop feel to it. The lady who took my order was awesome. However when I got the food, the presentation was deceiving. There was so much left over grease that I had to get another holder for my burger. The bread on the bottom of the burger dissolved in a matter of minutes. The fries were decent, but not enough to save the overall experience of the meal. I would recommend this only if they can solve the over greasy burger in the future.

My husband and I shared a delightful meal at Kirk’s with our fur baby Bella. We were warmly greeted by Jean Paul and appreciated the menu options for our furry companion, who enjoyed the beef patty. The food was scrumptious, and the ambiance was spotless and inviting. Our experience was exceptional, thanks to Jean Paul’s warm service, despite his recent foot injury. He made sure we had everything we needed and even prepared a mouthwatering cookies & cream milkshake. We enjoyed our meals and shared chips with queso (super yummy!). We’re excited to come back! ✨

11/14/2024- My husband and I returned to Kirk’s, where we savored a slice of pepperoni pizza and a slice of margherita, accompanied by mozzarella sticks, a Philly cheesesteak burger, and a grilled chicken salad. The cuisine was exceptional, and the ambiance was equally impressive. We observed Jean Paul continuing to work diligently despite his injured foot. Keep up the great work!! We’ll be back!

Low key authentic burger place with good burgers, fries, thick crisp onion rings. Avoid salads especially Thai beef which is just plenty of unflavored steamed thin beef slivers on iceberg with standard dressing and peanuts added. Milk shakes looked good. Sweet potato fries droopy but yummy.

Went for lunch today and it wasn’t too busy at noon so we were first in line to order and only one other couple behind us. Take note that because Paly High School is across the street at ~12:20 the kids came pouring into the restaurant. The line to order was now almost at the door.
Our lunch was really good, we had a fried chicken sandwich and a steak sandwich made with a flank steak. The steak was a lot bigger than the roll.

Had a burger from here three times. First time, really good. Second time, the middle was still cold and raw in the middle when I bit into it. I tried it a third time thinking maybe i caught them on an off day last time. I recieved this mess of a burger that I’m afraid to even eat. Waste of money and cheat day, never getting this garbage again.

Kirks is the best burger place around. After having tried Gotts, Super Duper, and The Melt. Kirks has something special. If you want a great experience I always go and see Freddy and Louis they are so kind and helpful. They are so knowledgeable about what tastes good with what. The both have made suggestions that have significantly improved my dining experience. I recently moved to the area and love this place. My only gripe is I should be able to DoorDash your pizza

Kirk’s does good burgers with friendly staff but some small flaws.

The burgers are medium size and perfectly prepared. They tend to fall apart, so be careful while eating. The fries are good but sometimes greasy, with a large feeding ~2 people. We found a hair in one burger, but overall the staff seem professional and tidy.

The service is friendly and helpful. It was easy to set up tables for a party of 6, and they can always help while ordering. However, separate orders can come out at very separate times. One time, we had 4 orders (1-2 burgers and 1 side of fries each) for a group of 6. The last 3 came out within 10 minutes of each other, while the first order took an additional 15 minutes. We received coupons as an apology. During our second visit (2 orders with 2 burgers each), the second order came out 10 minutes before the first order.

The restaurant is never crowded even during peak hours, and prices are reasonable for Palo Alto ($10 for large seasoned fries and $13 for most single burgers). Overall, I wouldn’t complain if a friend wanted to go, but I’m not going out of my way again.
