If you’re in the Bay and like bánh mì, you’ll absolutely LOVE The Station Saigon Smash.

The vibe was super cute with fire pits, heaters, and of course the food was well worth the visit Léo did his big one with this genius fusion burger.

The fries were also delicious tastes like a McDonald’s fries but 10 times better. We also tried the traditional Smashburger definitely one of the best we’ve had in the Bay Area.

We had the pleasure of meeting Léo who was is so kind, passionate and hospitable. We will absolutely be back!

Ehat an awesome place!! Burgers are really good. True smash burgers. Also tried the Saigon chicken burger and it was amazing too! Fries were well salted, crisp ans fresh! We were craving some good burgers ans saw this place on google and ended up driving 45 miles one way to eat it. Well worth the drive! Team taking orders was friendly and the atmosphere and ambience is a typical down to earth and semi covered. No inside spaces.

New ownership has made great changes! The fries are 10/10 and i love the soft serve. UPDATE the vegetarian impossible has improved since the first month – they’re giving it the same smashed crispy edges as the real burger. And the hippie bowl is sooo good, the veggies are all perfectly seasoned. I get that more than the burger most visits.
My only real complaint is that this place seems to be frequented by the type of bougie neighbors who don’t discipline their kids 🙂

Amazing burgers and fries, likely one of the best smashburgers I’ve ever had. Fries were also top notch.
Atmosphere is nice, chill outdoor airy sunny venue. If I lived closer I’d definitely be a regular!
I got 3 patties and it was awesome, $13 for a triple smash burger is an incredible deal, let alone it was one of the better ones I’ve ever had!!

Pretty good smash burger. It’s worth getting the double vs single. The double is what you’re there for. Paired with fries will fill ya up. I got the coffee shake as well and it was good. The outside seating was dope with the outdoor heaters. And service was on point. Staff was constantly keeping the place tidy.

I was happy to see this place had outdoor seating and accessible parking. However, I did not like the food. I spent about $40 on a burger, a burger over fries and a coffee milk shake that tasted like chocolate.

The good:
– service speed
– quality bun
– parking

The not so good:
– the shake was small for the price
– the fries were undercooked
– the burger felt thin and crispy (hard to chew?)

To be honest, the presentation is what did it for me. The item included with this post looks like crispy @ ss with pickles on top.

Wamp. I’m sticking with Five Guys.

Super de-duper! My double burger was terrific! Tasty & fresh! My bride got a chicken sandwich. She said it was “perfectly fine!” We also got a pickle salad and a kale salad. Again, the salads were every bit as good.

Service could not have been better and the Atmosphere at the top of Russell right near the Claremont Hotel was a great place to dine and people watch!

Love this place since it reopened. New ownership has brought better quality foods. Have enjoyed burgers, fries, and bowls. For a hearty but not heavy meal, I tend to choose one of the bowls. Have yet to try their ice cream, but I see many people enjoying cones often.

Parking is at a premium, so you may have to walk a bit.

Wow! I am thoroughly impressed with the new Station Burger! I came in on a Friday evening, and it had a good amount of people, with a 5 minute wait or so to order at the counter! They have a smaller menu but it has everything you would need!

It took around ~10 minutes for the burgers to come, and they were so delicious! Fresh ingredients with juicy patties, along with great, crispy fries!

The service was wonderful, atmosphere on point, and the food was delicious! I highly recommend everyone to try this neighborhood burger joint 🙂

All trains stop at The Station! All aboard! The station smash burgers is a great place to stop by for burgers, bowls, and vegetarian options. It’s a small but mighty restaurant with great food. I definitely recommend you coming out here, trying the food, and experiencing the atmosphere of the restaurant and its patrons.
