If you want a classic old school dining experience, this is the place. Enter and step back in time. Friendly staff, good food. Can’t go wrong here. Really enjoyed our burgers with friends. Girl helping out in dining area was friendly and frequently asked if we needed refills on drinks or anything else. Sadly, they may be closing in April 2024, so get here quick so you can enjoy some good food and nostalgia.

It’s a shock that I only found out about the Burger Pit until now…and unfortunately, their doors are closing on April 23, 2024…after 60 years in business!
Easy to read menu with reasonable prices.
Two of us ordered:
-Ribeye steak sandwich with baked potato $12.59
-Bacon cheese steerburger $11.59
-Fries add on $3.29
-Onion rings (small order), not sure how much it was
Staff was extremely friendly…from providing us some of her background, providing us utensils and napkins, recommending her favorites as well as top sellers, and serving us the food. Staff also cleaned dishes quickly.
Again, unfortunate that the Burger Pit is closing doors in a little over a month…but I will definitely stop by again before they do.
Easy parking in the strip mall.

This 60 year old burger joint will be closing its doors forever in April 2024. Very sad to see it go. Hamburgers are excellent! Go get one before they’re gone! (My fave is the mushroom jack burger). The history of San Jose is posted all over the walls…there are not many places left where you feel as if you’ve stepped back in time but Burger Pit is one of those places.

Old school restaurant. The store was established in 1964. The restaurant layout is old fashioned but business is good. The staff is very friendly and warm. The price is reasonable. Highly recommended.

Alex was my server. He made sure my chilli fries came out nice & hot. Perfectly fried crispy fries. Dare I say way better than McDonald’s. I passed by a Five Guys & Chick-fil-A to dine at Burger Pit.

We had driven by this place so many times. During a Google search, I happened to check out its menu and my family and I decided we wanted to try it. Shortly after that, I saw a news story that the landlord refused to renew its lease and they’d be closing early next year. So, we had to actually make it in to try. Boy, did it give me vibes to classic places I went to as a boy. The best thing was the servings and prices were something from the past too. Really good food with affordable prices that would allow a family of four to eat there and not wipe us out for the month. Wife got the Flat Iron Steak which came with fries and bread. I got the Cheese Steer Burger which is like a long burger sandwich with a baked potato. Prices were good enough that we each got a cup of the soups of the day, Clam Chowder and Vegetable Beef. Really delicious. Only drawback was a poorly cleaned spoon with one of the soups. There was only 1 waitress and 1 bus boy, but boy were they hard working and incredibly friendly and attentive. Definitely bringing my boys back here. Place is big with plenty of booth seating. Plenty of parking in the small strip mall lot. I hope the landlord reconsiders and renews their lease. It looks like they’ve already driven out most of the surrounding businesses. I’d hate to see them drive them all out just to know the buildings down and replace them with a giant multi-story complex.

12/3/2022. Last of the well known San Jose family burger. Lease ends April 2024. Family established. Reasonable prices, unlimited coffee for future visits with purchase of a Burger Pit coffee mug. They offer steer burger. Popular local support, lines are waiting for them to open.

The steak was perfectly grilled, very soft and delicious. No salad bar but small salad was given with perfectly grilled buttered bread and fries. The clam chowder was very creamy and tasty. Very friendly environment and staffs. Loved it!

Pros: good selection of food, spacious indoor, lots of parking space
Cons: very long wait time for food, my husband’s food came wrong, the popular steerburger was a disappointment as it was tasteless and the bread was the so chunky, kids corn dog was very small, the whole place smelled and looked very not-well-maintained.

An awesome little burger shop with rustic decor and a small town feel. The menu was great, the food even better. The staff was friendly and worked quickly to get everyone taken care of. I didn’t get the waitresses name, but she was sweet and always checked up on us every time she passed by. My new go to burger spot when I’m in the area.
