1/4 Giant Burger is a straightforward burger joint in Hayward that has been a neighborhood staple for years, recently refreshed with a cleaner, more updated look. Conveniently located on Mission Boulevard with plenty of parking, it serves as a no-frills spot where locals drop in for hearty, reasonably priced fast food — especially if you’re craving a classic American-style burger experience without fuss.

The place feels practical and welcoming rather than trendy, making it a good fit for quick lunches, casual dinners, or a relaxed bite after errands. The atmosphere is simple, and while there isn’t a fancy order-calling system yet, the staff are accommodating, and the refreshed interior shows someone cared to improve the experience without changing much of what regulars appreciate.

Menu highlights include familiar favorites like the Bacon Cheese Burger, Double Cheeseburger with grilled onions, and Chili Cheese Fries. The fries here are often served piping hot, with some customers appreciating their temperature and crispy texture. For those looking for alternatives, there’s a turkey burger option that can be served bun-less on lettuce, showing some thoughtful accommodation for different dietary needs.

Visitors who have grown up nearby or live in the East Bay appreciate the size and freshness of the burgers, as well as the good value for money. The casual vibe means it’s not a place to linger over a slow meal but rather one to enjoy a generous, straightforward burger and fries combo without the wait or the pressure.

If you’re passing through or need a familiar burger spot that balances comfort and convenience with decent quality, 1/4 Giant Burger delivers a consistent, no-nonsense burger experience that reflects its long-standing presence in the community.

Good burgers but it lacks something, like to be more different than others not just location

This is the only place I know of in Hayward where I can get a turkey burger It is also reasonably priced. I can’t eat the bun so it is on lettuce. This is my go to spot in Hayward for a burger.

My first time here and I'm am throughly surprised! It was great! I guess they had just reopened from a remodeled and it looks very clean. Only criticism is that they should get a speaker system to call out orders are ready. Burgers prices where reasonable too.

Been going here for years. Nice to see that they freshened up the place. Plenty of parking, pretty easy access off the road. Great burgers, most of the time the fries are nice and hot, in fact really hot That's the way I like them . The burgers are generous for the lettuce and tomato and there are plenty of condiments. You can get sodas or shakes or both. There are other locations around the East Bay, not as many as there used to, but they're all pretty much equally good including the two that are on MacArthur boulevard, one near High Street and one near fruitvale. All in all, one of my go-to burger places. Pro tip, have plenty of napkins ready or just bring your roll of paper towels that you keep in the car.

The hubs grew up here, and hasn’t been in 25+ years. He said nothing has changed, except the sidewalk (won’t slip & fall when it rains now). My first time trying, and let me say, IMO, it lived up to everything he said. Very fresh and VERY delicious! Every time we come to Oakland, it will be on my list! Great quality and quantity for the price. Double cheeseburger + fries and a bacon cheeseburger + cheese fries= $36ish

An institution for burgers in Hayward. Fresh made burgers, and the fries are crispy in the outside and soft on the inside. I ordered mine with a root beer float. The root beer float satisfied but it isn’t A&W. Sat outside under the umbrella and shared my table with locals that have been coming here since they were kids. I highly recommend this place! The people working here are upbeat and friendly! Tips- -Local owned please support -They give you salt so you can salt to taste -No public restrooms -customers are friendly too!

Still the best burger around!! Looks newly updated, cleaned up, and very nice!! Food still has same great classic taste it always has since I was a kid. Everyone was nice and the food was hot and fresh, fries so hot I had to wait. I got the Bacon Cheese Burger with grilled onions, so good! Shakes are still thick and delicious too! Leave them a nice tip for their hard work, especially with all this hot weather. Thank you!!
