Sideshow Express

when i’m craving chicken sammich, wings or smash burgers, this is my GoTo spot (or their flagship joynt Sideshow Kitchen). solid food for great value!

Went because I saw a video online promoting a wing special. The wings were delicious, burgers was pretty good even though there was a mix up with it. The guy who runs was very accommodating and helpful with understanding the flavor profiles available. Will definitely be going back there or the 2nd location for my wing cravings.😋😋

Great new burger joint in the Golden Gate neighborhood. The food is really decently priced, and they have tasty shakes. I would recommend ordering ahead through their website, it can get busy especially in the later afternoon/early evening.

Sideshow Express serves the most delicious wings, smashburgers, fried chicken sandwiches, hand spun shakes, and fries! Best part? That’s the menu! A cozy spot, chill vibes, friendly and passionate owners, and a deep bench of talent in the kitchen. Definitely recommend dining in for the full vibe (neighbors meeting neighbors), but the fare is so hot it’s perfect for take away too.

I've been going to Sideshow since 2019 and had to see the new spot they opened on San Pablo. The quality and customer service was on bar as their flagship spot. In terms of value, I can't remember the last time I was full from a meal that cost less than $15 (the burgers here come with fries, a standout). The staff was kind enough to share the house sauce for this spot and I will absolutely be coming back to try it with the wings (they're only $1 for all of December). 10/10 recommend.

A darn good smashburger, but that’s not all that’s worth highlighting: Their fries and tots were crispy but soft, wings are crunchy yet tender (highly recommend the Nashville hot honey for some sweet heat). Don’t skip out on the milkshake either. Definitely my new go-to neighborhood burger spot, and I’m excited to try new additions to their menu as they get settled and keep creating great munchies.

Great spot, friendly staff, pretty quick service. If you're hungry, this is the spot. The burgers are tasty and quite filling and the onion rings are beyond expectation 😉😋🙌 You won't be disappointed

I had the Munchie Box 1, 8 wings. The Burger was very delicious, just needs to be a little bigger. The wings were great, very flavorful. Excellent customer service, I will return soon and try other items on their menu.

The delicious food and friendly staff exceeded my expectations, even with the 4.9 star average. The hype is real! I had the double smash burger, the onion rings, the garlic hot honey wings and lemon pepper wings. The double smash burger with jalapenos, bacon, lettuce, and cherry peppers is now my favorite burger in the Bay Area. It was on the greasier side but honestly so good. I could have eaten two. Highly recommend the burger sauce. The onion rings were fantastic, some of the best I've had. The wings were very good (and a good value), although the hot flavors were soooo spicy. Next time I'll get a non-spicy flavor, or skip it for a second burger. I liked my horchata too. Was a good value. The guy who seemed like he was the manager was very friendly. I look forward to returning soon.

Best burgers I've had in years with the nicest staff I've interacted with during my time in the bay. Both here and Sideshow Burgers are an absolute must visit if you want the best burgers in Oakland!

We ordered 300 wings for a birthday/football game and they were incredible. Also amazing service and nice guys. Would go back tons of times, highly recommended.

Love the original Sideshow so I was excited to see they opened their express location on San Pablo. Munchie Box #2 (2 smash burgers, 4 piece wings, 2 large fry, 2 drinks, 1 sauce) is a great deal and perfect for sharing. Everything was delicious 😋 we enjoyed the smash burgers and the house lemonades are tasty

Travis Dodge

Such a great little spot for the neighborhood! Great burger, reasonably priced. The Sideshow team continues to impress!

Dan Bostonweeks

I was excited to hear about Sideshow Express and I'm glad I finally tried it out. Great smash burgers and the onion rings were fabulous. A great complement to Sideshow Kitchen.

This please surprised me the price was the best 8 wings $8 that's a deal. I had onion rings you must get them the crunch 😋 was outta this world. The staff are very helpful my friend could not stop asking questions about the flavors. Girl just get a job there dang!

I got a burger here once and it looked a hot mess. The bun was smashed and soaked in grease. I threw it away. The chicken is good. The shakes and drinks are the bomb. The Patti melt is on Texas toast, but the bread is soaked in butter and the bread is flat. I could only stomach half. But the people are super friendly and this place is close to my house and clean.
