A really dam good burger, I was super surprised by this place when going up to the redwoods park. This place was super tasty pretty quick and a thick flavorful burger. The caramelized onions were to die for on these burgers.

Great food, service, and people. The meat on each dish was juicy and cooked to perfection. Fries were delicious and crispy. Everything tasted fresh. Service was top notch, timely, friendly, and kind. Very accommodating. Definitely coming back.

Located in the heart of downtown Saratoga, Big Basin Burger Bar has been a staple in the area since 2015 when they first opened. As the name suggests, Big Basin Burger Bar offers a variety of signature burgers along with rice bowls and salads for anyone looking for something different. They offer a impressive variety of proteins on their menu including bison, the impossible burger, and a vegan option - so there's truly something for everyone! We arrived late afternoon on a Monday, with plenty of seating options to choose from (both inside and outside), we elected to sit outside to enjoy the summer day. We went with the French Moo burger and the BLT Gobble Club. Now, what burger meal is complete without fries, so of course we had to get some as well. I was torn between their regular french fries and their sweet potato fries (a personal favorite of mine), but fortunately they provide a half & half option to get both so I didn't have to choose. The French Moo burger was an instant favorite with the symphony of flavors provided by the unique combination of creamy brie cheese, peppery arugula and salty pancetta. While I did enjoy their BLT Gobble Club overall, I did find the patty to be a bit dry (but to be fair it is turkey). In the future I'll likely go with one of their tried and true burger option instead of this sandwich. If you're in the Saratoga area and looking for a great burger spot, then Big Basin Burger Bar is probably the one for you!

Best burgers! We love the build your own burger option, you get exactly what you want and can customize your burger every time. The Bacon Deviled eggs were delicious and the truffle fries were awesome. This is a bar as well, with a great rotating variety of beer and cider selections. They have indoor as well as outdoor seating, they have added a small curbside patio in the back parking lot. The service here is also really great, they bring you water when you sit down and deliver all your food and drinks right to your table,so you can sit back and relax.

Interesting place to eat! Loved their burger bowls, interesting place to stop after a great visit to the mountains! Seating: indoor, outdoor, bar Parking: some across the street plenty in the back Cleanness: pretty clean! Loudness: not sure! Menu diversity: diverse food menu with creative touches! Great people, for a decent price for the location.

Wonderful place to enjoy good food and good vibes. The service is excellent, the waiters are always nice and kind. One time they made a mistake with my order and they gave us the dessert for free and apologized. It's definitely a place to come back to. Just noticed that some of my pictures were from the monthly special menu, so they don't always exist (the salmon burger and the tiramisu cake).

Very fresh food, very clean, and wonderfully friendly service. The one liter Mexican coke was a HUGE bonus! Also, they accept Apple pay, so WIN/WIN!!!!

Pretty nice restaurant. Came right after playing beach volleyball and I was starving. The ambience was fine, but coming on a Sunday afternoon I expected it to be more busy. There also seemed to be a slightly strange smell, but it went away after a little while. Also a little drafty in the restaurant, so a sweater would not hurt. The service was par, not bad but also not special. Same with the burgers. A little too well done for my liking, but that really depends on personal opinion. Also pretty saucy but it did the job after volleyball. Overall nice restaurant but not worth going out of the way for.

Did the build your own berger tic box menu. Love that method of ordering because I don't have to remember to request no mayo, add guac and such. Unfortunately I must have received someone else's burger or my order wasn't followed. Berger looked really good but the missing items cost more so I took it to the counter ask about it. Receipt shows what was ordered so it was easy to show the error. It had items I didn't tic and missing items I did. Received an apology and they added what was missing and I ate a delicious custom burger. Wife's burger had unwanted tomatoe and was missing bacon, pickels and roasted red peppers. She received missing items and apologies with a promise to do better next time. I'll return because of quality ingredients, good flavor and fun atmosphere.

Nice burger/pub atmosphere. We've been passing by this place for years now and were very excited to check it out for the first time. We shared Korean chicken wings and blue cheese topped burger, ordered medium rare. Korean chicken wings were done very nicely, falling off the bone juicy and tender, but it was overly seasoned with soy sauce. I was expecting a little bit of a kick with gochujang or gochu powder, but didn't taste any of that. They were just salty. I would've preferred wings without the sauce. My husband ordered the waygu burger, medium rare, topped with blue cheese, bacon, and fried onions. First of all, the burger was done medium, the fried onions did not add texture, the bacon was hard, which I know was par-cooked, but also been sitting around on the counter for a while. The burger was too salty. If I was preparing the burger, I would have used less salt knowing that both the blue cheese and the bacon would add salt to the dish. It was not a bad burger, but for $22, we expected better. The fries were fast-food quality. My favorite thing on the menu was the hazy IPA from Half Moon Bay brewery We were glad to have gone and checked it out, but I don't think we'll be going back.

Slow Sunday. Service was a little lack luster with staff not realizing the ticket never printed to the kitchen till asked. Order medium rare and got medium well. Fries came out far earlier then burger. No value for the quality of service or food compared to downtown Saratoga pricing. One and done experience.

Went to big basin burger after a long hike. Spent 73$. The forks were greasy. The salad.. warm wet.. sweet. Cried on the way home with a wrenching stomach. Don’t order dumplings unless you want boiled potstickers. Guys it wasn’t that bad I just ordered the wrong things and it truly was disappointing and over priced I’m sorry MID

There's a reason this place has mediocre ratings... The food is mediocre at best. Swung in randomly after a long day of hiking in Big Basin. We were dehydrated, tired, and extremely hungry after a 13 mile trek. You order at the counter, pay, then they'll give you a number and someone will bring your food when your order is up. I got the French Moo and my bf got the Peppercorn burger (can't remember it's name). Our friends got the impossible burger and the peppercorn burger too along with garlic truffle fries and onion rings. Sides came first, and the fries were everything I wanted and more. Great flavor, crispy, not too salty or greasy... I now had high hopes for the burger. The onion rings had great crunch and weren't greasy either but the breading was a bit thick. Didn't even taste the onion. But the fries were so bomb dot com I looked past it. Burgers took a long time to arrive so by the time they did, I was really hungry. Really disappointed. Burgers were super duper well done. That's not even close to the medium rare I ordered. Upon further inspection of the group, every burger was severely overcooked. Every burger lacked flavor. Peppercorn burger weirdly had no peppercorns, and the peppercorn sauce was a super thick gravy-like concoction. Thankfully that comes on the side. Overall if you like well done, flavorless burgers, then this is your spot. At least their fries were good?...
