We are not a city known for burgers. There are lots and lots of places to have burgers here, to be clear, but none that are particularly noteworthy.  Still, I haven&#8217;t visited many of those places for years and I thought trying the different burgers available in San Leandro might be a fun project for the upcoming year (or two).  I had planned to start with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rockyscharcoalsgrill.com\/\">Rocky&#8217;s Charcoal Grill<\/a> &#8211; a place beloved by many in San Leandro. I have not liked their burgers in the past, but it&#8217;s been fourteen years since my last visit, so they may have changed.  My <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marga.org\/foodblog\/2010\/04\/rockys-charcoal-grill\/\">old review<\/a> is definitely ready for an update.  Alas, Rocky&#8217;s wasn&#8217;t open (it was a Sunday) and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationsrestaurants.com\/\">Nation&#8217;s<\/a><\/strong> is very close by, so Mike went there instead.  <br><br>I like Nation&#8217;s burgers.  As far as fast food burgers go, they have always been my &#8220;default&#8221; for over three decades &#8211; though they now share this &#8220;honor&#8221; with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.habitburger.com\/\">Habit Burger<\/a>.  At 1\/3 lbs, the burgers are fairly large, they ooze with American cheese and they are very generous with veggies and toppings &#8211; though I always get mine with just tomatoes, while Mike prefers his with lettuce and onions.  The burgers are smothered in mayo, probably enough to cause a heart attack to someone with cardiac issues.  For this reason, I feel that they mostly taste of mayo and American cheese, though enough to not really be able to forgo it.  But I like them.  If I had to grade them &#8211; and I do, because this is a project about finding the best burger, I&#8217;d give them 8\/10 as far as &#8220;fast food burgers&#8221; go, and a 5\/10 as far as all burgers go.  Indeed, I will make Nation&#8217;s my standard for an average burger, and grade others accordingly.  <br><br>In addition to burgers, Nation is known for its pies.  These are of a similar quality to their burgers: enjoyable.  On this occasion we got the blueberry pie which was on season, and we liked it.  <br><br>Nation also has breakfast items, which also are totally fine as far as a fast food place goes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br><br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the best fast foods burgers out there The other night I had a craving for a burger, which had me thinking: where can I get the best burger in San Leandro?
