Yesterday, as I was looking through my website for the phone number for Nation's, I was surprise to realize that I didn't have it, that indeed I had never written a "review" of this, our favorite chain.
Nation's is a local bay area chain offering burgers, fries, breakfast and pies. None of their offerings are particularly complicated (though you can get a chili in your burger!), but they have some of the best burgers around and for less than $4 for a 1/3 lb. burger (or is it 1/2 lb?), they're a bargain. The regular burgers come with very generous portions of mayo, lettuce, tomato and onions. They are huge and quite tasty. Their fries, fried in canola oil, are pretty good though not outstanding.
Their pies are quite good, with flaky crusts and thick centers. We particularly enjoy the chocolate cream and banana cream, though we dislike the artificial topping with which they are covered. Their lemon merengue pie is also very good and doesn't suffer this problem (pies start at $1.80 for a small slice).
Mike has had breakfast once or twice. The breakfast are huge but, as you can expect, not particularly high quality.
Another advantage of Nation's is that it stays open late.
