The People's Burger

On one particular day when I was craving a burger, I spotted this food truck and marveled at the seemingly perfect timing.  What are the chances that the food I'm longing for at the moment just suddenly appears? As usual, I had no will power and couldn't help but treat myself! This truck's menu offers several substantial burgers and one lighter vegetarian option.  Despite the variety, I chose their "Classic" ($8) which is topped with cheddar, lettuce, slice of red onion and tomato and their homemade Truck Sauce. With this being my first visit to The People's Burger, I kept my order simple to get a feel for what makes them unique.  In general, sometimes the more basic the burger, the better, since I'm then able to appreciate the natural flavor and grill of the meat. Although their Classic is simple, it is quite messy and completely slathered in sauce which is a combination of ketchup, mustard, mayo, relish and seasonings.  The bun held up well against the condiments, but next time, I'd likely ask ask for sauce on the side or half the amount. I'm glad to say however, that they do not skimp on the ingredients. I enjoyed the thick slices of tomato and onion, and loved the bed of arugula which added a fresh peppery bite. The patty was juicy, cooked medium-well and seemed to have some herbal undertones. Between the hefty patty, bright vegetables and slightly tangy sauce, the burger was well-balanced, picture-perfect and also pretty indulgent. Of course, I couldn't have a burger without fries, which are an additional $2.50. These were pretty simple and subtly seasoned. Some were nicely salted with a hint of rosemary, but others tasted completely plain. They were alright, but the seasoning could have been more evenly dispersed. As for service, the guys in the truck were amiable and seemed to genuinely enjoy interacting with the customers. As we walked up, one of them immediately began conversing with us and introduced their menu. They also assemble the orders pretty quickly as our food was ready just a few minutes after ordering. Overall, this truck has got you covered whether seeking a traditional burger or a unique creation with more complex ingredients. 3.75 stars. More...

Burgers are very good with fresh ingredients.  Very busy, but good flow and we'll worth the small wait. Some of the fries were just a little undercooked, but tasty! Definitely looking forward to my next burger! So many to choose from! More...

I've had a bunch of their burgers. The Grizzly is my favorite.The beef they use is great! Fries are on point.Their grilled onions remind me of the original Fremont Paseo. I still haven't had the chicken. So, that's next on the list.Feel free to ask for no bun, they'll give you a bed of arugula.I really like this truck. Not much else to say. More...

People's Burger is a good food truck. I've had two burgers from them so far, the Backyard which is their cheeseburger, and the Black 'N Blu, their blue cheese and bacon burger. Both were excellent. Great sear on the burgers, fresh ingredients, made to order, soft buns and crisp veggies.  The fries are great, too. I like the seasoning they use. Also, the guys in the food truck are friendly and fast. The couple times I've been here, I've had my order in five minutes or less. More...

Best Burger I have had in a long time! Can't wait to go back

Was so happy to have found this food truck! My partner, myself and a couple of our friends were at the car show last weekend and this food truck was conveniently parked outside. Not only were the prices good, and the location convenient, but also the burgers were absolutely delicious. My partner had the jalapeño burger which was exquisite just the perfect heat to compliment the flavor of the burger. I went the other direction with mine, choosing the pbb and j. The hot sauce complimented the the peanut butter and bacon flavor and the jelly gave it a hint of sweetness that just tied the whole flavor together. We also got a large fry to split between the two of us and those things were gone so fast; not because they gave to few (we both left stuffed) but because they were so dang delicious. While we were at the truck the cook told us they were opening an actual restaurant; I cannot to go there and see how it all looks. I know one thing for sure, we will definitely be coming back !

Great burger.  Not sure where it was hidden, but enjoyed the hint of rosemary.  Had the grizzly and fries.  Messy and good all the way through.

Not much to say about this place. It was one of the few food trucks out in the area. I love burgers so naturally I was drawn into trying it. I ordered the Drive-in burger and thought it was delicious. Many burgers are pretty standard to me but something about the burgers here were straight up tasty. I'd love to try more burgers next time I happen upon their food truck. More...

This was our 1st visit to this WONDERFUL Food Truck! The staff are SO personable & the burger that we shared (plus it came with FRESH CUT FRIES) actually filled us both! ! I'm extremely picky when it comes to burgers & fries. If the beef isn't good quality beef, I get pretty darned ill ... about 20 minutes after consuming their burger & I'm feeling TERRIFIC! The fries were just like home!! Seasoned beautifully (as was the Grizzly Burger). The cook came out & gave me a container of their house sauce (similar to fry sauce) and OMGOODNESS!! YES!! I'd like to thank both of the cooks & the cashier for their very caring & sincere service! We WILL BE back again! More...

The PB&J burger was amazing. It's not just the delicious toppings that make this place a gem, it's the perfectly seasoned, flavorful, juicy beef. Sure, I can grill a burger at home and put peanut butter, jelly and bacon on it, but it wouldn't be the same, not even close. That meat is what keeps bringing me back. Also the owner is a real hoot. Love him. More...

This burger truck parked at Westlake center today (Tuesday) during lunch hours. Right away you could smell and hear the sizzling beef patties they are cooking. I was in the mood for some greasy fast food and the jalapeños burger definitely satisfied my craving and went beyond what I expected. The cooled cream cheese on top of the just cooked hot patty, together with fresh arugula and roasted jalapeños- it was heaven :) it was seasoned with this special truck sauce, I didn't have to add anything else to make it delicious.

We were pretty doggone starving as we approached this truck at around 1:40. They close at 2, so we were relieved that we had arrived in time! Our family of four ordered three burgers and a chicken sandwich. I wish I could explain the layers of flavor in the meat, but I think it's fair to say that these are THEE BEST burgers I've had. The fries were magical fried pieces of potatoes... And the gentlemen who run this spot are friendly and great conversationalists! More...

First time at this truck and I loved it. I had the classic (without the sauce) and a side of fries. The burger was somewhere between medium and medium well, and the fries were just right. I couldn't finish my food, so I'm not sure what's up with anyone saying they were still hungry after eating. Maybe they are used to larger portions? But seriously this is plenty especially factoring in the artery-clogging and the calorie content you get with consuming this type of meal. The staff was super friendly and since I arrived early, there was no line and hardly any wait while it cooked. I'll happily come back here again when I'm ready for another burger. More...

Highlights:- Decent value for a food truck- Burgers cooked medium and well-seasoned (close to the salty side)- Line can build up pretty quicklyThe People's Burger stopped by my office and I had an opportunity to try! I ended up ordering the Hollywood with the garlic aioli instead of the truck sauce. We got to the truck early on, no later than 11:10 and the line quickly started to grow after that. Would highly recommend getting there early as you can (as with any food truck).The price is pretty decent, all things considered. Instead of paying 11+ for tiny portions, the more premium burgers are still under $10 and only a little more to add fries. The whole meal is definitely enough to fill you up, and they're generous about giving you sauce if you want special sauce for your fries (I should have asked for truck sauce but I ended up with way too much garlic aioli).The burger is also decent. Cooked medium, the patty is well seasoned, though on the more seasonsed side. It could be a bit much if you tend to err on the less salty side. The burger as a whole was pretty good, and the fries and some spices added to it too. If you're craving a burger, here's one for the people. More...

It wasn't the best burger I've ever had but it was pretty darn good and came out of a food truck! 5 star customer service! All the guys were very polite. Stayed open a little longer to serve a couple ladies. Apologized for the wait to another lady. Swapped my friend's water out even after she opened it and discovered it was frozen. Their fries were delicious! My only complaints would be the patties could use a little more seasoning, garlic aioli could use a little more garlic, and smaller buns to fit the patties! However, the buns were sturdy enough to accommodate sauce and ample toppings. Eat here before the mariners games!! More...
