Amazing drive thru burger, especially with the overflowing bits of patty sticking out in the burger. Be forewarned that it can be messy, but fortunately they also give you a lot of napkins. The corn fritters were also delicious. The best time to get here is right as they open, as the line starts filling up later in the day.

Directly connected to Two Pitchers, Lovely's has a fine selection of meat, fish, and vegetarian options for appetites both large and small. Generous fish portions that were perfectly crisp, drive in double smash burger was flavorful and balanced, hot chicken thigh sandwich had a good heat and went well with the slaw. Highly suggest ordering here first before getting your drink order in at Two Pitchers next door!

Best Smash Burgers in the East Bay...that is a bold statement! Awesome - all around! GREAT burgers, easy friendly service, great location adjacent to the pub, fantastic outside seating. The smash burgers will stand up to any in the Bay Area! Well worth a drop in.

Their fish and chips is AMAZING but is out of stock most of the time. Their burgers are awesome too. But their chicken sandwich is overcooked. Wait time can be little bit long, specially in the weekends but the atmosphere outside is great so it's not bad.

It’s worth the wait! Lovely’s makes the best impossible burger I’ve had — both the drive through and the original are excellent, but I lean toward the drive through because of the sauce. I go for the classic when I want to upgrade it to all- vegan. I love the outdoor space they share with Two Pitchers, a really great brewery with a decent range of drinks at good prices. They have lots of picnic table seating which fill up fast. I try to get there before 5:30 especially if I’m meeting up with friends because the line gets pretty long, but thankfully you can enjoy a beer while you wait.

Great place to grab a bite and stroll into 2 Pitchers Brewing Company & get some good beer. The food is fresh and quite tasty, corn fritters are a MUST! However, the queue and wait for the food can be very discouraging but if you can overcome these 2 issues…it is worth every single bite.

The Smash Burger That's Worth the Wait. From the crispy, lacy edges to the juicy, flavorful patties, these burgers are on another level. Friendly vibes, easy service, a killer spot right next to the pub, and chill outdoor seating? It all adds up.
