      There isn’t a gluten free option, but people have come in with a gluten free bun if they are allergic and we’ve made burgers for them using one they brought in.

      Okay okay! I am coming out of Yelp retirement specifically for Uncle Jay Burger House. This location was previously my favorite burger stand in town. However I never wrote them a Yelp review. Uncle Jays Burger House already feels like family.

      Let's talk burgers.

      At Uncle Jay's the menus is concise as a burger shop menu should be.
      Focusing on quality ingredients, Uncle Jay's compose their burgers thoughtfully and they don't leave you hungry. With a menu Influenced by the cuisine of Korea this is no ordinary burger shop.
      Burgers like the Seoul Burger are not to be missed. If you crave the sweet smokey flavor of Korean barbecue this is the burger for you. Complete with shredded cabbage and a fried egg, I will return time and again for this sandwich.
      The Uncle Burger features fried eggplant atop the beef patty. It is truly a wonderful combination of textures and flavors. If you're a fan of onion rings in your burger the Uncle burger offers a unique spin on that texture combination.
      What's a burger without good quality French fries?
      At Uncle Jay's the fries are crisp and piping hot.
      They have a wonderful selection of bottled drinks including Dads Root Beer and they even have a selection of Kom Bu Cha.
      None of the good food would matter if it weren't for the people who are operating the business.
      The staff are incredibly gracious and polite. They are truly what makes the food so good at Uncle Jay's.
      I implore you to stop by when you have a hankering for a real burger. Visit Uncle Jays Burger stand enjoy the food and the smiles. See you there.

      Once again relying upon Yelp when on the road.

      Will start by saying we are not familiar with concord. The area has one way streets, limited street parking and a large homeless population. There is a nearby parking garage which is where we parked.

      The place is as basic as they come. Inside a kid was sitting on the floor under the menu with his laptop plugged in doing homework, mom with young kids who were tired of being there - climbing over tables and whining to go home. Outside homeless were sleeping and eating food from trash next to the building and one homeless guy passed out at their patio table amongst a pile of fries. The inside was clean but felt "dirty".

      We ordered Hawaiian burger and the uncle burger with fries and onion rings.
      We tried to ask the gentleman about the sauce - he spoke little English and wasn't able to tell us anything about it or understand "can I taste the sauce"? This steered our ordering choices to safe ones.

      We found a place outside to eat. A couple of seats away from sleeping guy.

      Fries and onion rings are frozen but good products.

      Burgers a huge, patty is cooked perfect and seasoned. My burger had a sliced battered apple in it. It was interesting. The combination of flavors between the sauce and everything was different and tasty. I really liked the uncle burger, hubby enjoyed the Hawaiian but would try something else.

      Really wish this place was located in a different area. As a quick stop we would come back again.. I don't think I would feel comfortable eating here near dark due to the large homeless population.

      Soooooo good!!!

      Cheeseburger well done juicy and delicious. With garlic fries. Perfectly crisp and perfect amount of garlic. They toast bun and it's high quality bread that melts in your mouth. Perfect amount of sauce. I will be back.

      We walked in and it was very neat and clean. We ordered at the kiosk so we didn't have to talk to any of the workers. But no one even treated us when we walked in. The first time we were even spoken to was when they called our order out. They were very nice tho. I got the Katsu burger plain with the sauce on the side. I don't like veggies. It was delish even plain. Chili cheese fries were ok. The fries were delish and crunchy but the chili had a weird flavor. Don't know if I'd go back again. Glad I tried it tho.

      My wife and I were looking online for food between different apps and happened to stumble across this place on TikTok after searching places to eat in Concord. We immediately went to DoorDash and noticed they not only sell burgers, but hot dogs as well. So we ordered two Vienna (Chicago style) hot dogs and french fries for pick up. The order was done within five minutes. There were two ladies working and helped me right away. The hot dogs were delicious and exactly as pictured. The French fries were seasoned well and had a nice crunch to them. They give you a big bag full of fries enough for 2-3 people to share. I definitely recommend supporting this business.

      I remember way back in the day when this place used to be Hot Dog Palace. Now this location has turned into Uncle Jays Burger.

      I was curious so stopped by to get a cheeseburger with chili fries. Everything was fresh to order. The burger has the right balance of meat to bun to condiment ratio and tasted very good.

      For any chili fries connoisseur out there, this is a must get. The fries were perfectly crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Even without the chili the fries are excellent. The chili put it over the top with hearty flavors and some meat mixed into it. The cheese wasn't too heavy, which I like because it didn't over take the stars of the show. Will definitely recommend and try their other burgers/dogs as well!

      Located in todos santos plaza, corner spot. Street parking only. I always walk by this and it's empty. After trying their food.. there is absolutely no reason people shouldn't be eating here. They have regular burgers and hot dogs and an asian fusion options. A lot of seating, bright inside, friendly staff and quick service. The food also comes out fresh and piping hot.

      Katsu burger- so good. Crispy, perfectly seasoned katsu cutlet that was HUGE. The cutlet was way bigger than the bun. Tasty slaw, lettuce and the katsu sauce was similar to a Japanese gravy. 5/5
      Garlic fries - yes, crispy fries, fresh garlic and parsley, my breath was hottttt and reeked of garlic. Would not want it any other way. 5/5
      Chili cheese fries - almost like canned chili but had some Asian-ish spices. But the fries were super crispy 3/5
      Cheeseburger - simple, tasty and hearty. Patty was perfectly seasoned and the bun was tasty 4/5

      Overall, definitely somewhere I'd come back to for when I'm craving an Asian twist on my burger. Can't wait til they get all the new items on the menu going.

      Food was not that great and service terrible. A terrible
      Experience. The concept relies on self service and very confusing when you walk in.,

      Went for lunch on Father's Day. Easy to order on the kiosk and customize your order. Garlic Fries were crispy and delicious. Onion Rings were good, a bit on the small side. Each of us liked our burgers. Lots of sauce, luckily they gave us plenty of napkins

      This is honestly a different side of burgers that I've came across, only because some of the burgers don't have patties, they have literally beef or even a pork cutlet depending on what you are craving. Their menu is small, but it packs a lot and you honestly have to think about whether or not you want that burger or just get 1 of each - LOL!

      I had the Seoul burger and I was super surprised that I had nothing but bulgogi beef and no patty. It honestly did not need a burger patty because the beef bulgogi along with the fried egg and all the condiments that comes with the burger was the BEST fusion burger I've personally had. Thank you for not putting a patty in there, I feel like the burger patty would have taken over the burger. I honestly ate my burger under seconds - LOL, not literally but by the time I looked down it was sadly GONE. I also got their fries and onion rings and it was cooked to perfect crisp, along with some ranch for my onion rings.

      This place is ambiance super new and cute and with the kind service I got here, I will definitely be back for more. Thank goodness they are literally right across the street from a parking garage cause that area will and gets busy during business hours of the week.
