[cometraveler]

A lot has been written about the Oakland/Berkeley area, but has anyone food good burgers in the Walnut Creek, Danville/San Ramon, Pleasanton side of the East Bay???? Something better than the chains like In 'N Out

I'll second George's Giant Hamburgers. Another good place with giant in the name is

Giant Chef Burger
10 Golf Club Rd
Pleasant Hill, CA

Funky location, old building -- but friendly staff and big portions of good diner food, including burgers.

Norms (near Starbucks) on the main drag in Danville serves up a tasty burger. Chow in Lafayette and Danville also is worthwhile.
Flemings Steak House in WC has a GREAT happy hour burger that is probably my favorite..and a great deal at 6 bucks and comes with bacon- a really great deal! Other food and drink specials are well worth it.

Thanks!! This gives us a few places that we have not tried and helps us avoid us(i.e. Habit burgers does not sound good, from your description).

Don't forget In n Out! In Walnut Creek, HubCaps downtown does a good burger and so does Pyramid Alehouse. There used to be a Taxi's with good burgers on Newell but that's a Pho place now.

I just heard yesterday that The Vine restaurant in Danville, which serves food from Bridges restaurant, makes great burgers. Haven't tried it yet, but I'm going to try them out very soon.

I'm not a burger person but this may help...

Well there's mini chains:

The Counter and Habit

There's also Corners Tavern which is uneven but I really like the atmosphere, and is solid for Walnut Creek.
