When you go out to eat, you have many restaurant choices, so Nation's gives you many choices in one restaurant. We've never been accused of skimping. After all, we have to live up to the GIANT name, so you get lots of high-quality food and lots of value for your dining dollar.Nation's is not fast food. You order. We cook. And you enjoy our food the way it was meant to be enjoyed: Hot, fresh, and cooked just for you. It may take a few minutes to get your order, But it's well worth the short wait. In addition to our famous burgers, we serve breakfast all day at most locations, as well as delicious homemade pies.

I took my son and his friend to lunch here before a baseball game. It wasn't during exactly the busiest time but was at the typical lunch time 1:10pm or so. We ordered 2 cheeseburgers, three shakes,...

Great burgers! I've been coming here for over 15 years and the quality has been consistently good. The burgers are large (1/4 lb) and you have the option of wheat or standard bun. Nation's also has...

I wanted to go to Nation's because I figured there must be a reason a regional burger chain like this one survives the onslaught of McDonald's, Burger King, et al. I'd tried to go to one before, I...

The trick to Nations is you always call ahead for your orders to go! I love this place for those after the job trips hope right before 11:30 pm. Its only ten minutes from Oakland and easy to find...

Sitting there waiting for your number to get called was how I best remembered being at Nation's today. Sad, but true, was really the condition of the place. Its well worn, dirty and sadly a greasy...

If you learn anything from reading these reviews, let it be this. CALL TO PLACE YOUR ORDER BEFORE YOU GO. Then cut to the front of the line soon as you get there. You're supposed too! Then think of my...

My son and I arrived in Orinda for a follow-up foot doctor appointment. We were both hungry and had only about 30 minutes to spare. So across the street to Nation's we went. My son ordered the bacon...

Good fast food, if you don't like burgers try the grilled salmon or veggie burger. Yummy grilled cheese and the cheapest breakfast around (eggs, bacon, french toast).Their pies are a very good buy.

If you crave a burger, go to Nations. This is the BEST burger anywhere bar none. Huge, juicy meat, thick steak tomato slice and onion and lots of lettuce. The fries are excellent as well. You will...

I wanted a juicy greacy burger and based on the name I exspected exactly that. I arrived at dinner time and had to wait to be seated, not a problem. However, the service was poor and the food took and very...

For a big, fresh, juicy, tasty, not too expensive cheeseburger on the "other side of the tunnel" Nation's is your spot. It's not a fancy date spot or anything unique, but the food is damn tasty. The...

O.K. so my cheeseburger was good, as I scarfed it down while piling into a car with sweaty,dirty kids, dripping pickle guts everywhere. This logistical nightmare could have been avoided if it had NOT...

The food here is surprisingly good. I give it a four star rating on the "burger joint scale", which differs from the scales of other restaurants and local services. Nations totally gets an extra...

Nations has the best hamburgers. period. They do love mayonnaise and I am sure they are about 1,000 calories but so well worth it. I can't eat wheat so I order the lettuce wrap which is better than...

Nation's is always open late and convient for kids. The burgers and fries can clog your arteries, it's great. Sneaking their food into the local movie theatre is fun too.
