Burgers in Downtown San Jose
Downtown San Jose burger options split into two camps: gastropub burgers with gastropub waits, and chains. Ten minutes west via The Alameda, we're the third option downtown forgot — an independent counter where the burger comes off the griddle made-to-order and parking is free and immediate. SAP Center regulars have made pre-game pickup orders a ritual; office workers discovered a full combo costs less than most downtown appetizers.
Getting Here
about 10 minutes from Downtown San Jose to 2485 Forest Ave — near SAP Center and the San Pedro Square Market area.
Delivery & Pickup
Downtown orders are a straight run in via The Alameda / Santa Clara Street — allow a few extra minutes on event nights at SAP Center.
Local Tip
Event-night intel: on Sharks home games, The Alameda backs up from about 5:30pm. Order forty minutes before you want to eat, collect your combo bag before the arena traffic thickens, and you'll be parked and fed while everyone else is still circling the garage on Santa Clara Street.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is pickup realistic before a downtown event?+
Yes — we're ten minutes west of SAP Center with free parking out front. Order online about forty minutes before you want to eat on event nights and you'll clear arena traffic entirely.
