Cafe Reveille

publish Part of a series on The best burger in the bay area.

Visited 2024-11-03 for brunch with Christie.

A bit generic looking

The good:

• It’s not drenched in oil nor too heavy
• The ketchup (not part of the burger rating is good and seemingly house made)

The ehs:

• Generic everything
• Cheddar cheese
• Vaguely chilly vegetables
• Patties cooked all the way through with no pink

5/10, 0/10 for unusualness. It’s like a generic backyard BBQ burger with the full amount of fix-ins.

Meta comment: My food rating system decrees that I don’t rate something as average and pick whether it’s a little above or below. This felt perfectly average but on principle I’m rating it down — it wasn’t super remarkable.

Also worth noting: This place is a cafe and not really known for their burgers. They have a delicious looking poppy seed bun used for their breakfast sandwiches; idk why they didn’t reuse it on their burgers.
