Dutch Goose

No-frills dive bar and burger institution at 3567 Alameda de las Pulgas since 1966 with legendary greasy burgers, cold beer, and a devoted neighborhood following across six decades.

Dutch Goose brings the appeal of a neighborhood tavern together with a straightforward burger-and-pizza menu in Menlo Park. Its Angus beef cheeseburger comes with familiar toppings and the house's goop sauce, while a double version on a French roll gives you another way to approach the same classic. Homemade chips accompany the burgers, keeping the meal comfortably in pub-food territory. We like the social side of the setting as much as the menu's easygoing focus. Games and sports screens make it an option for gathering around a game, and the restaurant welcomes groups for casual meals and private events. Pizza and drinks broaden the choices when the table isn't all in a burger mood. On Alameda de las Pulgas, Dutch Goose is appealing when the plan is simple: meet friends, order familiar food and make the gathering the center of the outing.
