I <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marga.org\/foodblog\/2010\/04\/rockys-charcoal-grill\/\">reviewed it<\/a> many years ago and I&#8217;d visited a handful of times over the years, mostly when I was in the neighborhood. I&#8217;ve never been a huge fan of it, but thought I&#8217;d give it another try in my quest for finding the best burger in San Leandro. So far, I&#8217;m sad to say, this isn&#8217;t it.<br><br>Rocky&#8217;s is a cute, tiny place. It has a handful of tables inside and outdoors and a small kitchen. They serve a large variety of burgers, some grilled sandwiches as well as a steak and ribs. They also have well regarded shakes. Burgers come without condiments, which you add yourself. They are all 1\/3 lb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"935\" height=\"426\" src=\"https:\/\/www.marga.org\/foodblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/signal-2024-05-09-114453_003-e1715281827915.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3977\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.marga.org\/foodblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/signal-2024-05-09-114453_003-e1715281827915.jpeg 935w, https:\/\/www.marga.org\/foodblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/signal-2024-05-09-114453_003-e1715281827915-300x137.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.marga.org\/foodblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/signal-2024-05-09-114453_003-e1715281827915-800x364.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/www.marga.org\/foodblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/signal-2024-05-09-114453_003-e1715281827915-768x350.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 935px) 100vw, 935px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I had the <strong>Guacaburger<\/strong> ($8.75), which came with guacamole.  It was OK.  The patty was thin, so on the dry side. I prefer juicy burgers, and this was not that.  It did have a nice, not too strong, charcoal flavor but I felt the meat was under-seasoned.  In all, this felt like a home made burger, which is not what I&#8217;m looking when I order one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"520\" src=\"https:\/\/www.marga.org\/foodblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/signal-2024-05-09-114453_005-e1715281844598.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3976\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.marga.org\/foodblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/signal-2024-05-09-114453_005-e1715281844598.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.marga.org\/foodblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/signal-2024-05-09-114453_005-e1715281844598-300x152.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.marga.org\/foodblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/signal-2024-05-09-114453_005-e1715281844598-768x390.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.marga.org\/foodblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/signal-2024-05-09-114453_005-e1715281844598-800x406.jpeg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mike had the <strong>Oaklandburger<\/strong> ($10.25) which includes Cheddar and Jack cheeses and bacon and comes in a sourdough bun.
