This was a destination lunch when I was working in Mountain View. Too far away and too slow to go all the time, it was a fantastic special treat. Cooking their burgers on a charcoal broiler makes the burgers taste like when you were a kid at a backyard barbecue, but cooked with really good hamburger. Clarke’s claims to use beef that’s only been ground once, which means that the meat they use is so tender that it really has no business being in a hamburger in the first place. They have a great fixings bar, with mayo and relish and an assortment of sauces. They can run on the pricey side, but the cost is worth it for the best cooked burger in the Bay Area.
