Was told that they have the best milkshakes, and that's facts. Idk what it is, but they're so yummy! I had the butterscotch milkshake and it was delicious. The consistency was perfect especially on a hot summer day. Sitting outside in the shade was nice too. The food came out pretty quickly and the person at the front taking our order was friendly. Definitely will be back, already talking about which flavor shake to try next!

Delicious burgers and shakes. Vanilla shake was so yummy. This place has been around a long time. I can see why!!

My wife and I found this place after finding no parking at another place close by. Driving away from Cal, going south about 1/4 of a mile or so, just as you cross into South Berkeley, we saw the smoke! While there was no parking lot, we found parking. 6 or 7 in front of us when we walked up but the line vanished pdq and we were up! Flame broiling was happening before my eyes. Cheeseburgers with bacon worked well. They've got hot dogs and other things and it fresh, hot and delicious. It is not "fine dinning but they serve five star cheeseburgers and service with a smile.

Smokehouse is an excellent, no-frills, late-night spot near the UC Berkeley campus. They have hot dogs, hamburgers, chicken sandwiches, milkshakes, and veggie/vegan options. They also have a long list of free toppings you can add to your sandwich. And the best part? It's super affordable! My partner and I went to Smokehouse recently because we were craving burgers. We ordered a cheeseburger with all the standard toppings, as well as caramelized onions and barbecue sauce. We also ordered two chicken sandwiches, a mango milkshake, and an order of onion rings. The cheeseburger was delicious. The flavor from all the toppings blended together perfectly, and the burger was cooked nicely. The chicken sandwiches weren't dry at all and really hit the spot. The mango smoothie was refreshing and delicious, and the onion rings were probably the best onion rings I've ever had. They were crisp, not soggy, and not soft. Great taste overall. I'm so happy we tried this place and I assume it'll become part of our rotation. Definitely try this place!

Driven past many times, finally paid them a visit! A very solid dive-y burger and fries. Fast service and the fries were hot! Burger was a bit wet but overall tasty. Oreo shake was delicious! Plenty of outdoor and indoor seating. Glad I tried this spot

Best grilled hot dog around. Grilled over a flame. I love Top Dog's hot dogs. But you know how a flame grilled hot dog is. I can have dairy, but they have vegan milkshake options, too. Which is great for my husband.

4.5 stars. Walked pass by this place so many times and finally decided to try it out on 4th of July with my parents. Ordered double cheese burger, fish burger, chicken sandwich, cheese fries, and onion rings. Sat outside in the patio. I'm usually not someone who frequent a burger joint but the double cheese burger here definitely won me over! It was cooked to perfection with tender meat patties and gooey cheese. The onion rings are the best I've had. So crispy and not oily at all. My parents really enjoyed their food as well and raved about the onion rings. My only gripe is that the fries aren't as good as I have hoped. They're a bit too soft and soggy. Overall it's the perfect classic American meal. I was satisfied. We'll be back! Happy 4th of July!

I initially got confused what Smokehouse was and figure it to be BBQ spot, but boy was I wrong and turned out to be yet another Burger joint. But I'm not going to talk bad about the place as the Burgers and Dogs here are chargrilled which I think brings out a wonderful taste especially with Burgers. This place kind of reminded me of Doggy Diner back in the day with its simple menu and value prices. French Fries are crispy and salted just right. They even offer up lactose free shakes. I will definitely be coming back to this joint to try the chili cheese burger next time I'm in the area.

It's a darn good burger and I'm kicking myself for not eating here again until recently. Friends took me out and yeah, even after it closed and reopened, it's still the real thing. Juicy meat well cooked. I'm giving five stars which seems a bit high. This is a five star on the fast food burger scale and not the gourmet burger scale. Let me explain. The meats was juicy and well cooked. Wish it had a tad more flavor. The bun was soft and a bit too squishy and it made a mess of itself. I don't know if they don't toast or I need to ask for toast or if they under toast. Or they just need a more solid bun. So for a gourmet burger it's a three or four. Still a burger that's solidly above any fast food place and given that most fad food places have raised their burger prices to the same as Smokehouse, I'm evaluating them on the same scale. Staff is friendly. Seating is clean and spotless if a bit utilitarian. Glad they have indoor seating but again, kind of on the sparse side. I hope they succeed and can pump more money into better decor.

From the amount of times I've driven by Smokehouse & the solid reviews from East Bay friends I've received over the years, I finally had the chance to enjoy this spot on a beautiful April afternoon. It's hard for me to stray from a single cheeseburger, fries, and a milkshake, so that's exactly what I ordered! I love the old school burger joint vibes, with fun and nostalgic painted images both indoor/outdoors. With street parking located around the restaurant, it's a walk up & order type vibe, grab your receipt and pager, and wait for the buzz to go off. It's been a while since I've had that experience, but keeps you and your tummy excited as an eager customer. We chose to sit outdoors with picnic table style seating and lots of open space/grass area. Indoor seating is also nice with vibrant walls and a window to watch the grill masters in action. The fries were nice and crispy, loved the fresh potato bun, char on the burger, shredded lettuce, and of course, the bang for my buck. I chose the Oatly (oat milk, non dairy) option for my milkshake and it was bomb! Especially love when you reach the end of the milkshake and there's chunks of candy/cookie pieces...no shortage here! I've heard the chili cheese fries and hot dogs are super yum, so would love to come back and try to stray from my normal burger joint ordering. In line a customer also suggested to not forget the "free add-ons" with recommendations of the caramelized onions and cherry peppers. Again, next time! Also to note: there are vegetarian/vegan options, and def. a kiddo and doggy approved atmosphere!
