Kirks used to be very good but they have definitely lowered some of their standards such as cleanliness and raised their prices like the rents in San Jose. The old owners seemed to care more about quality not quantity or price (extra patty for $3.40?) I went for lunch with two friends and it cost us $28. Pretty expensive for burgers and soggy fries. The place was a mess. Leftover food was all over the tables, the bathroom... well I've seen cleaner ones at the Santa Cruz Boardwalk. The previous owners so called secret was that they mixed cheap tomato soup in with the actual steakburger but now since there really is no standard each location has a different flavor.I have experienced this inconsistency at their other restaraunts. Too bad the valley has lost another once GREAT burger joint.

That guy above who said small burger must be used to eating with Fred Flintstone. I've rarely finish a double here, and I eat a lot. The onion munchers are greasy but good. Yes, there's not atmosphere here. It's a BURGER JOINT people. Denny's is nicer. But if you're into a big, juicy burger, there just isn't anywhere else to go. You'll leave feeling sick from all the grease you just ate, so if you're not into grease, go somewhere else.

After the change in Ownership, the quality of Kirks has taken a nose dive. Food is still decent, but sloppy in preparation. Gone are the glasses - replaced by styrofoam cups. The place is constantly a mess, with lots of tables needing cleaning, and trash on the floor. I am disappointed in the new ownership in dropping the ball. Maybe they will read this review, and get their act together before everyone moves on to the competition. However, not be totally negative, it is still better than most of the fast food places when you want a real hot dog or steakburger.

After reading the above reviews I was very excited. I was envisioning big two-fisted burgers with all the trimmings, nice and crisp fries with a thick chocolage milkshake. No such luck. I was very dissapointed. The burgers are small, the atmosphere is a greasy spoon, the fries albeit plentiful are not crisp and the milkshake was OK. Watch out because we were also overcharged. It was not until later did I realise we had been overcharged one burger. If you are into a hamburger that you might as well have made at home on a Safeway bun this is the place for you.

Big burgers, cooked over real charcoal, baskets of fries and/or onion rings, beer or milk shakes - what more could you ask for from a burger place? Gets crowded at lunch and parking is tight.

If you like REAL hamburgers, this is the place. They grind their own Chuckburger meat, and grill over real charcoal. This is one of 4 locations, and the best in the group. Other locations have the same great burgers, but do not have french fries or onion rings (Palo Alto and Campbell) or great milk shakes.
