"I've usually had great experiences at Nation's Giant Hamburger, but this visit disappointed me. After paying, my order never started, and it took about 15 minutes and my friend's intervention to realize it hadn’t even gone to the kitchen. Meanwhile, everyone else in my party who ordered after me had already received their food. There was no apology or compensation from the staff for this mistake. The bathrooms were dirty and had a terrible odor, and the overall ambiance was unclean, with many tables left unwiped. I felt bad for suggesting this place to my friends. Unfortunately, this visit was a real letdown."

Nation's is the epitome of classic American dining. Their pie is so delicious that you can't go wrong choosing it.

Parking: Downtown Alameda on a Saturday is like many bayarea cities. We'll past its prime. The Bof A bank across the street closed as well as the store fronts next to Nations. So plenty of parking. View menu

Awesome little burger place that also does breakfast all day and makes great milkshakes. I had a breakfast burrito and it was fresh and delicious. Very much a good alternative to McDonald's or some other generic fast food.

Normally Nations is much friendlier and happier. The food is always great but this one my onion rings were burnt and they didn't fix my hamburger the way I wanted it. Normally it's a whole lot different depending on which one you go to but I love

This restaurant is not worth the price. For the past 15 years, it has been known for having black mold on the ceiling panels. They recently replaced some panels and added flat-screen menus, but still believe they can charge the same as a week's worth of groceries. We will not be returning. View menu

The quality of food at Nation's has been deteriorating over the past decade. Burgers aren't as good as they used to be and now if you order a chili dog to go you get a sloppy mess in a box. It tasted as bad as it looks. I'm sure food in prison looks more presentable than this. If I didn't have to drive back I would have gotten my money back. Save yourself a trip and go to a different restaurant.

The fries were just awful. Soggy, limp, greasy sticks of potato. I'm sorry, but any self-respecting burger joint has to have decent fries. Burger was kind of okay but definitely not up to the price tag. Service is quick and friendly but that doesn't make up for the food. It's one of the few late night options in Alameda so I guess that explains why they're not out of business yet. Quality and value are much better at In-N-Out Burger. The only reason to come here is if you don't want to deal with the lines at In-N-Out. They are popular for a reason. This place doesn't deserve to remain in business.

"Tasty authentic Vietnamese dishes made in a mom and pop restaurant in Oakland on the corner of East 12th Street and 11th Avenue. We got the Hu Tieu Mi Kho (Dried egg noodles), Pho Dac Biet (Beef Pho with various cuts of beef), and the Bo Kho (beef stew) that comes with a Vietnamese baguette to dip in the stew. These 3 dishes totaled about $45 after taxes. Two of the dishes (dried noodles and the pho) were full of flavor and you can smell and taste some of the traditional spices and herbs that come with them. The Dried egg noodles come with 2 quail eggs, 2 shrimp, a couple slices of pork, slices of pork kidney and liver, minced pork, bits of chicharron (fried pork belly skin), chives, cilantro, green onions, and blanched mung bean sprouts with a bowl of broth on the side. It comes with Vietnamese pickled jalapenos, sate paste, and a soy based sauce to mix in with the noodles. Was very authentic and delicious! There was even minced garlic in the dry noodles, which added another nice layer of flavor to this dish. The second dish, beef stew, although it smelled right, was more of a soup than braised stew. It was watered down (and tasted watered down too) and would have gone better with noodles. Way too watery for the baguette to really dip or scoop up the flavor. Made the bread a soggy mush. Plus there was not that many pieces of beef (they used flank with the membrane intact), and only 2 slices of carrot. We had to scoop to the bottom of the container to raise the beef, above the broth for the photo. Otherwise we almost mistook it for the container of broth for the pho. I would pass on getting the beef stew next time since the value of what you pay and flavor were somewhat lacking. Lastly we tried the pho dac biet and it was tasty with a nice balanced broth before you add the herbs and condiments (hoisin, sriracha, etc). It comes with the usual mung bean sprouts, thai basil, and sliced jalapenos with the raw slices of beef on top (for you to cook by pouring over the boiling broth). Prices are reasonable for the dry noodles and pho, but not the beef stew. While waiting for our takeout order, the husband owner kindly offered us some water or hot jasmine tea to sip while we waited. Inside of the restaurant, there are 7 tables with seating for 4 each, and a longer table with seating for 8 available for dining here. The parking lot across the street that people used to use seems to be closed/chained as a private lot now, so be prepared to find and park on the main streets or neighborhood around the restaurant. It is in a lesser part of Oakland about 5 minutes away from downtown, so be sure to lock your car or use public transit, as there was a lot of trash dumped around the neighborhood. Despite all of this, I would return for their tasty dry noodles and pho. And would be interested to try their other dishes too (minus the beef stew)."
