The Bureau 510

Have gone to the E'ville location and was happy to learn they had an Alameda location.
Went here with my daughter. Made reservations via Yelp beforehand.
Burgers, onion rings and drinks were super super delicious with great service. What more could anyone ask for?
Would I come back & recommend it? Like Lil' Jon would say "YEE-AH!"

My husband wanted a burger and after reading some reviews we ended up at Bureau 510. He loved the burger and the Fried Chicken from the special menu was delicious. It was likely the crispiest chicken skin I've ever had. It was served with pickled veg, sticky rice, curry and roti. Amazing. The chicken itself was very juicy but not that flavorful but eating it with the curry and veg made up for it.

Served was nice and prompt and the prices were reasonable. The menu had American food and Asian food so had a nice mix of options but I wouldn't categorize this as a burger joint.

Bureau 510 seemed relatively new to this neighborhood. I never noticed it before, but came across it while browsing through Yelp for dinner options. I made a reservation the morning of just in case there was going to be a wait, but it seemed like reservations aren't necessary yet. We came here on a Friday night, around 6-7PM, and there was a few tables filled. Maybe Bureau 510 is relatively new, or competition is higher around this area, not quite sure. It's almost got a diner style vibe to it, but not quite. A bit unique.

I came with my partner and he wasn't hungry, but he ended up ordering a Belgian Waffle With Vanilla Gelato as a small bite. Happy hour was up till 6:30PM, so I was able to squeeze in a Blackberry Mojito. I also opted for the Louie, Louie! with a side salad for an additional $3.50.

I'm not much of a drinker, so I'm not quite sure how good the Blackberry Mojito is compared to other Mojitos. The initial taste is fine, but I can only describe the after-taste a bit like medicine. My partner thinks it may have been the taste of whatever sweetener they may have used in the drink. As for my Louie, Louie, it was quite loaded! A big sandwich, but not too heavy. The Louie, Louie comes with fried soft shell crab, butter lettuce, avocado, alfalfa, louie dressing, on ACME bun. It's not heavy, but kind of filling because of how big the bun is. They give a good portion of all the ingredients, so I'd say it's well proportioned. It's good, but not amazing. I thought the fried soft shell crab chunks had a bit too much flour on the outside. I liked the addition of alfalfa, but I think it's missing a bit of a refreshing aspect to offset the fried parts.

My partner enjoyed his Belgian Waffle With Vanilla Gelato. He commented that the Gelato was good!

Service was nice and friendly. We were checked on a couple times, but dinner was fairly quick. I wouldn't mind coming back if I was around the area and feeling for a burger or sandwich, but I probably wouldn't go out of my way to try this again.

Came here on a Sunday afternoon and it wasn't too crowded. We were seated right away. The food came in good time after we ordered. The beer battered onion rings were so good - crispy, hot, and fresh. The sauce is the same across the appetizers except we noticed only the brussel sprouts sauce had a slight kick (which we preferred). My Louie Louie burger with soft shelled crab was crispy and had a delicious dressing - I loved it and I highly recommend! My husband enjoyed his Good Morning burger and said it was juicy as well. The ACME buns make such a huge difference. Both dishes came with coleslaw and pickles. The brussel sprouts and fries were very good. Service was great and I'll be happy to come back!

Had a lovely light meal on a Sunday night. We walked in and there was nobody there, a little disconcerting, but all reviews were great so we stayed. We had a delicious meal! We wanted something light so we had a bowl of clam chowder and pork skewers. Both were delicious!! The chowder was the perfect consistency, not too thick or thin, with sourdough sliced bread alongside. The pork skewers were so tender and flavorful!! Fantastic. Service was great. Attentive, and efficient. The only reason this isn't a 5 star review is that I would have liked an actual cocktail instead of sake cocktail. I would definitely return and recommend.

We came to the Bureau 510 for a family meal one weekend. This sit down restaurant gave me the feel of a sports bar, but at the same time a casual family diner. Menu consisted of mostly burgers, sandwiches, and salads.

We were seated right away. Overall service was good. My wife and I each ordered a different burger. Her choice was the Good Morning burger. Its dressings include a fried egg and smoked applewood bacon among other goodies. She liked it, and rated it 4 out of 5 stars. I chose their B-B-B burger with Parmesan Fries. Both my fries and burger were delicious. A good above average tasting gourmet burger! We also tried their tots and liked them too.

Chances of returning are high. Good food plus good service at reasonable prices equals return visits.

The Bureau is a fantastic place to get a burger.

Prices are more than reasonable (even if fries are extra), and burgers are super fresh. I like how they have a number of different options too, including chicken, roti, and Italian desserts. Be sure to come hungry!

This is our go to burger spot in Alameda. The bureau had very friendly staffs working on Christmas Eve. The ambiance is like a casual/sports bar restaurant with excellent fusion burgers. Like kimchi burger, bulgogi plates, etc.

Gsw game was on the night we went, but college bball was on the tv. After asking the staff to change the channel to NBA, she tried many times to change it to gsw game but their tv channel kept landing on college bball after clicking on nba. She was very patient and nice to try her best to change the channel. I was impressed by how attentive she was to our needs.

Besides the tv, food quality is fresh and meats are tender. If you ever want to eat healthier than in&out burgers, I highly recommend the bureau for your burger needs. They got fresh onion rings, sweet potato fries and French fries for sides and apps.

So my baby was the only one willing to pose. She definitely enjoyed her PB&J sandwich which was jelly. However, one suggestion would be to ask if the bread should be toasted. There baby would have preferred her bread not toasted as i had to break it into pieces as opposed to get biting through the soft bread. Besides that she ate it all. The bigger baby decided to have a burger like her daddy. We both enjoyed the burgers. She had onion rings that tasted more like tempura in not a bad way, but my Parmesan fries were a sleeper delight as i personally enjoyed them over the onion rings and my wife's sweet potato fries. I believe my wife had a fried chicken sandwich which o heard no complaints about either. All in all a nice family spot with good food. We were all content when we left.

Came here for lunch with coworkers on a Monday and was impressed by the quality of their food. I had the fried chicken sandwich which was the perfect combination of fresh ingredients and sauces. The portions of the food are also big enough to take some to go!

The coleslaw and pickles were a super tasty compliment and the coleslaw had its own custom sauce that was amazing. I also had the Parmesan fries which was portioned as big as the burger.

Not only was the food good the service matched! They made sure to take care of our party and the food was put together well and came out in a short time. Glad to try this spot and will be back!
