By far my favorite place to go get a burger in the Bay. I always leave satisfied and stuffed! Burgers are juicy and fries are just as amazing. A small order of fries feeds 2-3 people and they come out nice and hot for you! If I ever crave a burger (which is usually once a week) I will always choose Red Onion!

Looks like a family owned hole in the wall diner establishment. Almost reminiscent of something like a nations. The cashier was very friendly. Prices were decent, not too expensive, and the food was good. I think the quality at a place like nations is a little better in my opinion but this place really wasn't bad at all. I would still come here to get a burger fix esp. if I was close by.

Great burger! Used to come here a lot and it's been a while but still as good as I remember and still as hefty (usually ends up as two meals for me). I don't think I've had anything other than a burger but why would you They have new milkshake flavors and desserts, which were always solid choices. Looks like they built out a nice outdoor patio as part of a refreshed interior. On this visit, some of the staff was friendly and helpful, one or two seemed they didn't care to be there. Not sure if that's typical (hopefully not).

Our 19th hole was here today. Of the seven of us only hubby & myself had never been here. It's located in a strip mall by the local high school. The parking lot is one way only. We missed the driveway and had to loop back around. The entrance looks like a side door. There's a service counter to your immediate right and a unisex bathroom to your immediate left. Once we were all seated and had an opportunity to look over the breakfast & lunch menus, our orders were taken. Hubby went with chicken and waffle. Once his order was brought to the table there were 7 drumsticks with a thin crisp waffle. I went with the bacon pepper jack cheeseburger with grilled onions and everything on it. Medium well. Cooked to order. Food was very good. A couple folks ordered fries and onion rings. Generous baskets and fried hot and crispy. The menu is very diverse. They offer a wide range of different food. There's something for everyone. Service was friendly and efficient We requested three separate checks which was no issue as they use a handheld device where you tap your credit card.

The Original Red Onion will always have my heart! Growing up in Pinole, I've had so many memories here over the years from family take out nights to first dates to sharing this nostalgic spot with my husband and friends. There is truly nothing better than an old school burger, comforting chilli cheese fries and an ice cold soda - The Original Red Onion does just that really well! Juicy meat, crispy potatoes, and years later so many other fun menu options to choose from..but I can never steer away from the classics! While there make sure to say hi to Johnny, the gem of The Original Red Onion - for quick service, quality food, indoor/outdoor seating in a homey atmosphere, easy parking in the shopping center next to Pinole Valley HS, all the stars align for burger time! You can even order through the Yelp app for delivery/takeout.

Okay, it's totally old school divvy but the food & menu is pretty amazing I haven't been there since probably high school or college. I got the waffles with drumsticks with syrup only and a vanilla milkshake. The milkshake was a very thick soft serve. I had to wait a bit while it melted. Waffle was thin & tasty. Chicken was good too (plain)

"I told them to expect the surprise of a lifetime. My mother's making her roasted potatoes!" - George Costanza, Seinfeld Da Scene: Decided to try again and was rewarded... the hashbrowns are BACK BABY! Not only that, items that sort of unofficially fell off the menu seem to he back... Da Grub: last time I tried to order pork chops or local moco, SOL... but today they had 2 chops so I went all in. Crispy and plentiful hashbrowns, soooo glad they are back. The chops were simply seasoned and cooked on the flattop w/ butter, also a generous portion, more like 3 chops! 3 eggs over easy, toast, ketchup, hot sauce and coffee rounds it out. It was alot of food, but I killed it, sooo good. Da Service: not too busy mid-morning on a Saturday, servers checked in just enough and kept my coffee cup filled. Chef did a great job and always has a great disposition. It's not the same when he's not at the grill. Next up, Loco Moco... hope they have rice next time!

The food here is amazingly delicious and great portion sizes! You'll definitely get full after eating here. The service is quick and friendly. Inside and outside the restaurant is very cute with little hints of Harry Potter on some parts. Overall adding to my list of go-to spots near home.
