Kirk's is a Bay Area legend. If you're from around here, you'd know that they've been around for years and for good reason: They make a mean burger. Like another Yelper talked about, they used to have the grill right at the front in plain view. It's still at the front, but it's obstructed by the wall, and so you sadly don't get to see the cooks in there grilling up your food which I always think is cool to see.

The first Kirk's I ever went to was located in San JosÃ¢ on De Anza Blvd. It closed c. 2009, but thankfully this location here in Campbell and the one in Palo Alto are still open. Since I hadn't been to either one in a long time, I thought I'd pay them a visit and order takeout.

On my first visit, I ordered a classic Steakburger with lettuce, onions, cheddar cheese, and ketchup as well as french fries. On my second visit a week later, I ordered their Pineapple Bacon burger along with onion rings.

Facts:
* They have limited indoor and outdoor seating due to Covid.
* You order first at the front, they give you a receipt with your number, and when your order is ready, they announce your number on the loudspeaker. If you're eating in, they'll give you your order on a tray. If you're taking it with you, they'll give it to you in a paper bag.
* It can get a little loud inside, and you might end up having to raise your voice to the cashier while placing your order.
* Despite the fact that they can get busy, the cooks are really fast. I was surprised at how quickly my orders were prepared.
* Despite their name, they have other items on their menu that are not burgers.
* Price-wise, they're moderate.

The most important thing, IMHO, when it comes to eating a burger is making sure that whoever cooked it did so as requested. Both times, my burger was cooked perfectly. What I also like is that their patties (possibly because, as the name says, are made from steak) are bigger than most other burger joints, and they don't skimp on the fixins.

After each visit, the burgers I ordered were delicious -- cooked well, juicy, filling. I also like their bun. It's sort of similar to brioche if you ask me. The fries and the onion rings were just okay.

Overall, if you're hungry for a burger and you're nearby, you have to come here. You'd be supporting a local business, and you'd be eating a high quality burger that is juicy and delicious as well. Forget In N Out, McDonald's, Burger King, Carl's Jr., Whataburger, Five Guys, The Habit, etc. Fuck em.

Kirk's is the place to go to for burgers.
