Fast Times Oakland Reviews
I have yet to try an actual burger from Fast Time Burgers, but just based on their Gnarly Fries alone I can tell you that I will absolutely be back to try everything! For only $7, you get a pile of French fries covered in what I assume is their Smash Sauce (similar to thousand island but with slightly more acidity), grilled/caramelized onions, and grated aged white cheddar. First of all, it’s great value plus it smells heavenly! When I took my first bite, I was hit with savory/salty cheese, some sweetness from the onions, and a nice creamy & acidic sauce. Everything brought the classic french fry together. Of course I used a teeny bit of ketchup to dip a few bites and it just made it even better. Next time I’m going to sprinkle some black pepper on it too! You definitely have to be paying attention to when your order is ready. It didn’t seem like they were calling out names or numbers, but I think in general they send a text when your food is ready.
So I did a walk-in for a protein style double all American burger. It was really good you can tell the meat was fresh and the veggies are Farm picked because they were also very fresh. They have really nice beverages too. They have the cane cola and other flavored like raspberry pomegranate and they have ice cream which was also a delight.
I’ve loved these burgers since they’ve been a vendor at the farmers market, and it’s been amazing to watch them grow into a full brick-and-mortar location. Their burger is so good. You can really taste the difference!! Everything feels high-quality and super fresh. My go-to is the All-American burger. I tried the Oklahoma at first because I love grilled onions, but the All-American ended up winning me over. The flavor is just better in my opinion cause of the fresh ingredients (lettuce, onions, and tomato). I also usually get a double! The single is a bit small for my appetite, so doubling up is totally worth it. The fries are crispy and delicious, though I recommend adding a bit of salt to taste. The first couple of times I got them, they were a little bland, but seasoning them yourself makes a big difference. As for the milkshakes—they’re rich, creamy, and delicious. I’d probably get one every time if my lactose intolerance didn’t keep getting in the way. 😅
Absolutely perfect smashburgers, always delicious and made with care. Very strong contender for the best burger in the Bay, I can't say enough good things about it. I've been hooked on them since he was a vendor at the farmer's market and now I make trips to the food hall just to get a burger from him. The fries and shakes are amazing too!
Went to fast time burgers at Prescott market in west Oakland, I got a burger and fries and they were both very good my only complaint with the burger is I wish the onions in it were grilled more but other then that the food was good, the outside area was very lively as they had live music playing.
Honestly the best smash burger ever I’ve had. Ranch and onion rings were also A+! Cool space, fast service, indoor/outdoor hangs.
Great smash burger. Owner is very nice. Also have delicious shakes.

Great smash burger. Owner is very nice. Also have delicious shakes.
Ordered from here on Doordash not too long ago and it was SOOOO GOOOD!!! We've been craving it but im not off work until 10pm and they close at 9pm :/ maybe on my next day off we will order again! Definitely get the gnarly fries, can't miss those. And I had a cheeseburger with extra cheese, SO GOOD
One of the best smash burgers ever made by human beings. Aliens might have a better one, but human beings… this is the best we can create. Pinnacle of mankind right here.
Honestly, this place has some of the best burgers I’ve had! The patty was juicy, and the toppings were fresh – you can tell they use quality ingredients. The onion rings were crispy and awesome, and the staff was super friendly. It's a chill vibe, perfect for grabbing a bite with friends. Don't forget to get their house made ranch sauce, you won't regret it!!! Definitely coming back!
All I've eaten here is ice cream and milkshake, and I've been extremely impressed with both. Very simple but very tasty. I've seen others walking away with some amazing looking burgers and fries.
Fast Times smash burgers are fantastic. You can tell the ingredients are high quality as well. The other reviews claiming long waits are from the soft/grand opening when the place was swamped with people and of course the staff and management were literally brand new. They have adapted quickly, I have been multiple times and haven't waited longer than 10mins even in the heat of lunch rush.
Good burgers, great onion rings,I dont think they know what a swirl is but it was a good shake

Seriously blown away by this spot! Gourmet and luxury burgers usually mean $$$ but not here. They've got it all – amazing smash burgers, creamy soft serve, and the town's best soda. Definitely worth a visit!

I got the single Oklahoma burger and the gnarly fries. I'd come back to try the double patty burger. Very nice environment/atmosphere. Smash burger: 8/10. One of the best smash burgers I had in the US. - My pros: Bun was cushiony soft with a good bite to it. Sauce mixed well without being too overpowering. Patty seasoned decently. - My cons: Beef patty didn't taste that beefy. The flavor was a bit mild/lacking for me (maybe the double patty will be better). Gnarly fries: 7.5/10 Nothing crazy. A fancier In N Out animal fries. Solid flavor and good crunch. Little overpriced for what it is, but probably a good price point for their intended clientele.
Not bad but nothing special. The sauce is pretty bland and really didn’t add much to the flavor. Good there’s another smashburger option in the neighborhood but not anything to go out of the way for.

I’d give a 3.5 for food and 3.5 for service if it were an option. Granted, it was the grand opening.. but after waiting over 40 minutes for two burgers, 1 order of fries, and 1 milkshake.. I was quite disappointed with the return. The burgers were okay.. the fries were disappointing and the milkshake was extra milky. The portions were very conservative- the fries were really light in color and could definitely have been stacked higher or seasoned and the milkshake wasn’t full or thick. I’ve also not been to a burger joint that charged for fixings.. overpriced for what it was and I’m extremely disappointed to say that because the neighborhood needs some good food.
Prescott market is great but 22 bucks for this burger and fries was far too much for what you get.

My double burger was super mid. Not a lot of flavor, lacked salt and kind of dry. Maybe their other stuff would be better

The fries were good when hot however there was a gnat inside with my burger in the box. I couldnt eat had to toss the whole thing . He kept getting into it after I swapped him many times
Ordered take out. Burger - very good. Tenders - paid over $10 for what amounted to 3 tiny tenders that were almost the size of chicken nuggets.

They used the cheapest carriers they could find off temu. On a hot day the condensation made it completely fell apart in my truck spilling milk shake and root beer all over the place. I will NEVER come back here again. The burger was mid, the fries were mid. They didn’t just cheap out on the carrier, it was all the ingredients too. Just hard no. Update: they called me asking to remake my order. The guy on the phone thought my situation with my truck was funny. Why would I want the same mid order and more soda and shake to spill all over my truck again? Terrible customer service. Don’t go here, you can get a better burger and pay half the price at in n out. Those are the facts.
