Jeffrey's has a big sign in their front window. It says "Best Burger Top 5, Chronicle", throwing down the gauntlet before you even enter the restaurant. The restaurant is shiny and clean, evoking a 50s diner feel with red naugahyde and stainless steel. "Sherry Baby" played on the speakers. It all feels shiny and new. The large menu board proclaims "Fresh Ground Today - Beef or Turkey". You place your order at the counter inside the door, take a number and take a seat. Elvis and Jerry Lee at the counter were efficient and cheerful. I ordered the Bacon Cheeseburger $6.69, my buddy Jeff had the cheeseburger.
We also ordered onion rings $2.99, fries $1.39 and chocolate shakes $3.59. I ordered my 1/3-pound of fresh chuck to be cooked medium. It came out closer to medium rare with melted American cheese and crisp bacon on top. I added ketchup. The white bun was fresh and tasty. I thought the burger was juicy and flavorful. Jeff thought it was a little greasy. If you get a burger from chuck, the traditional hamburger, it contains more fat than a burger from sirloin or other steak. Franky, Annette and I like them that way. I gave it 3.5 out of 5 spatulas. Jeff went with a 3.
Like a Doris Day picture, the shakes were a little syrupy and sweet. Mine wasn't that cold. They came with whip cream and a cherry on top. We both gave the shake a 3. "There is a freshness about the onion." Jeff proclaimed and he was right. The onion rings were thick and crisp - heavily breaded and cooked just right. I rated them a 5. The fries were medium thick with the skins on. They were slightly overcooked and a little greasy. Nothing special. 2.5.
I found the ambiance cheerful, the service quick and efficient. I enjoyed Jeffrey's and the rest of the people filling the place to the brim seemed to agree. I hear Jeffrey's is coming to Menlo Park. I think Ike would approve.

Mastering the Hamburger. That is my quest. What does it take to make the best burger? I will find out. I rate burgers from 1 (inedible) to 5 (sublime) spatulas. Gourmet or grease bomb? Don't care. It just has to taste good. I will also rate fries, onion rings and milk shakes where available. Since I live in the San Francisco Bay Area, I list the Top Bay Area burgers first.

Wow, I'm hungry now! Jeffrey's is right across the street from my mother-in-law's. Next time we're in the neighborhood I'm insisting we go there.
Your descriptions are exceptionally presented! I for one am eager with anticipation to see where you venture next. We are always looking for new ideas for burger restaurants. Your site is fantastic. Kudos on a job well done!!
Jeffrey's is still one of the finest burgers in the mid-Peninsula... and the lovingly separated sheets of iceberg lettuce show their "quality" orientation.
Too bad about the milkshakes. A year ago, they were better, less sweet. If you're a regular customer, let them know, and maybe they'll go back to the old recipe.
I have been back to Jeffrey's once in San Mateo ad at the new location in Menlo Park twice. Since my original revue, I have upgraded my rating on the onion rings from 4 to 5. I will stick by my other ratings. The Menlo Park location is lot of fun to eat at and is always busy, but the wait is never long. - SK

I am looking beautiful place where i want to try a burger. Once i visit a normal burger shop but I compliment for not going for the faux chrome, but rather a more authentic and classy mid-century vibe in the converted shell of the old hubcap store on El Camino Real.
This was one of the best burgers I have ever eaten. Thanks for sharing this delicious recipe. Take my online class for me.
