Craving a good burger led me to @6thstreetburger in Downtown San Jose The double cheeseburger was juicy and packed with flavor, and those crispy, seasoned fries hit the spot. I washed food down with a refreshing mango lemonade. No wonder SJSU students love coming here for a quick bite!

I’ve got recommended this place by a coworker and decided to try it out. First, the presentation is neat and clean, services are friendly, place are bright and tidy. Next, i got the double smash ans nothing is special about it besides the “wagyu” meat, the jalapenos burger is better a little bit as more sauce and spicy taste. Next, the onion rings feel like it sit in the fryer longer than normal as the color isn’t bright and one of it looks like it almost burn, tastes so-so too. I would give credit for the mango lemonade, it is solid, balance.
Will I come back? No unless they improve on their stuffs.

Stopped by the corner of Sixth and E Santa Clara and ordered the 1/4 pound double smash burger combo for $21 and charge. The burger was pretty oily, which stood out right away. The oil was practically pooled in the paper wrap. It had a decent flavor, but nothing too memorable. The fries were the highlight—crispy, well-seasoned, and really satisfying. If I go back, it’ll be mostly for those fries. Which is unfortunate, I was really hoping to find a new burger go to spot.

Husband and I come here regularly, and we’ve never had a bad experience. All of the food is spectacular, and the owner Ricky really cares about his customers. Do yourself a favor and get the milkshake (the banana and the Oreo flavors are our favorites), and the chili cheese fries are so good. Obviously, the burgers are amazing!

I asked AI for a recommendation on a burger place while I was in San Jose and this place was offered up likely based on the reviews of others. I gave it a shot and was not disappointed. The smashed burger was delicious with a unique pickle and sauce. The fries were good, and the onion rings were okay – not that there was something wrong with them but because I’m spoiled by a local place in Sacramento that has the best onion rings ever and kinda ruined anyone else’s for me. They have this really delicious jalapeño ranch sauce that was so good with the rings and the fries – I need to try it with a burger next time. The staff was very attentive and pleasant, and I think this was partly due the likely owner working and keeping everything running smooth in there – including helping take our garbage and making sure the cashier/servers up front were not getting too distracted behind the counter that they overlook a patron – he definitely seemed to be wanting his kitchen and front end to be on their game…which was noticeable and appreciated by me as a customer. Also, the place was super clean, including their restroom (which is always a good way to tell how dedicated the restaurant is to keeping a cleanly establishment). Will definitely come back again when we visit in the future.

I’ve been driving by this place for a while now and it smells incredible. Finally had a chance to try it out and the burger, fries, and shakes were great. Their spicy sauce also had a perfect amount of kick.

Great beer selection from local brewery. Very helpful and attentive staff always offering sauce or refills.
The food was great, we got a double smash burger and the western bbq, both were fantastic. So were the fries! Make sure to try the spicy orange sauce!
Marianne’s ice cream used in their milk shakes!

Bustling burger joint with an awesome vibe. Super positive staff, enthusiastic service, good music, clean place with folks walking the floor taking care of customer’s.
Sitting on the edge of the SJSU campus Sixth Street Burger is conveniently located downtown.
I was greeted at the counter by Evita. I easy knew I was all in for the 1/2 lb. Wagyu smash burger. I also had to have the tallow fries. Evita recommended their lemonades—the strawberry/watermelon lemonade filled the square on this hot day. The verdict:
Tallow fries—yup you came here for that.
The smash—great meat to bun ratio that just melds together.
All you can drink lemonades—yum.
If they stop by your table and offer some of their hot sauce—try it.
You should come enjoy a piece of burger heaven 🙂

So I went to this place with my mom while running errands. I had seen it before and I wanted to try it out so we stopped by one afternoon. The parking can be difficult depending on time of day, as its on the corner of Sixth and Santa Clara, but in the middle of the day there was a decent amount of (metered) parking nearby. The service was good, quick and the woman at the register helped us hone in on what we might enjoy as first timers. We both got smash burgers with their house “six sauce” and an order of tallow fries and onion rings to share. I also got a strawberry milkshake that was fantastic! made with Marianne’s ice cream.
I found both the fries and onion rings to be enjoyable however my mother did not and wished for more Jack in the box-like fries (her favorite, take that however you want it). I found the rings to be good. a good crisp batter, a nice grilled onion inside with plenty of flavor on both and the tallow fries were crispy and tasty as well. The problem we both had was with the smash burger and sauce. In addition to the sauce we got lettuce and tomato on them and we both felt that the sauce and lettuce/tomato took away from the flavor of the burger itself. The six sauce is very mustard-forward and as someone who can take or leave mustard it was sort of off-putting and my mother who loves mustard still thought it tasted too much of it. We both tried pieces of the burger without anything on it and agreed it tasted really good by itself and i would suggest that anyone going get the burger plain or at least ask for the sauce on the side and make up your mind that way. Overall a positive experience and worth a shot if you’re in the area craving a burger.

My favorite burger joint in the town. Unapologetic straight forward smash burgers. Good crusting, fresh ingredients. Staff is very nice and everything I’ve tried in this place is delicious. I’d give it five thumbs up if I had more than two.
