J's Hamburgers and Such is an oft-overlooked Piedmont favorite with none of the pretense and stuffiness of some of the other establishments on the ave. It's a dimly-lit little cable car thing with a massive menu full of authentic Mexican breakfast and dinner plates (the "And Such") and of course, burgers. (I'd stick with the Mexican food...you can get a more memorable burger at Barney's, though J's are tasty.) Portions are generous and prices are low. Order at the counter and come back to pick up your own food, but once you do, you'll get just the greasy satisfaction you came for! Pros: Chilaquiles, enchiladas, cozy

this old-school spot on Piedmont has a classic charm you won't find anywhere else. The tabletops have that old-fashioned newspaper design. The hamburgers are fantastic. The burritos are far superior to the tacqueria across the street. And all the portions are huge, cheap, and delicious. The building itself is a strange triangular shape...at one point in time this building was a movie theater. Now you can sit in the ticket window and eat a steak burrito while you watch people walk by on Piedmont Avenue.
