Next up is the Courthouse Diner, situated down the road at 245 W. Pacheco Blvd. With 4.5 stars out of 73 reviews on Yelp, this diner and traditional American spot has proven to be a local favorite.
Served on an oil-topped bun, the burgers are one-third of a pound, and the assumption is that you want cheese with that with options like the bacon cheeseburger and the mushroom and Swiss. Turkey and vegetarian burgers are also available.

The Big Boss adds two kinds of cheese plus bacon and onion rings packed inside the bun. Fosters sauce gives all of its burgers a signature flavor.
