What People Are Saying About Clarke's Charcoal Broiler
The Editor

Citysearch
The Scene – It's strictly counter service, pretty bare bones, but with a light and airy aesthetic that defies most burger-house logic. Clearly Clarke's makes no gender distinctions with carnivores--all locations have a cleanliness level and ladies rooms that any meat-eating woman could get behind. – – The Food – The basic 1/3-pound burger is a good place for the rookie to begin, although 20 or so specialty burgers gussy things up nicely (note the 49er with its avalanche of sauteed mushrooms, American cheese and sourdough bun). Burgers are juicy, fat and cooked medium.…

Best Burger in Mountain View
by mute001
The burger tastes absolutely amazing. I live in San Francisco and have easy access to top of the line burgers, THIS place rivals even the best of the city!
- Pros: Amazing burgers, original to novel creations
- Cons: may need to find street parking

it's ok, nothing special
by albertoy
i'm a big hamburger fan, i eat burgers at least 3 or 4 times a week. this place is ok, definitely a solid burger but nothing to rave about. fries are so so and the place itself is a little shabby. ok to go once in a while if you feel like having a "charcoal grilled" burger, but don't expect anything mind blowing.
- Pros: it's charcoal grilled
- Cons: charcoal grilled should taste better than this....

Great burgers, avoid the chili, expect trouble parking
by soopahman
Let's make this simple:
Burgers: 10
Fries: 6
Milkshakes: 6
Chili: 1
Parking: 3
Bottom-line, go for the burgers and skip the rest. Consider dropping someone off to pick up your order and taking it home since the parking is very limited. The burgers really are charcoal grilled and taste freaking amazing. The South of the Border burger is actually spicy - most salsas in this area end up being boring and bland. Strongly recommend.
The chili is awful. Avoid it in all situations at all costs.
- Pros: Burgers
- Cons: Chili
