An outpost of Wahlburgers, the national burger chain from celebrity family the Wahlbergs, is now open in downtown Palo Alto.
Wahlburgers soft opened at 185 University Ave. on Sunday, an employee said.
Paul Wahlberg, together with his two brothers — actor-producer Mark and actor Donnie — started Wahlburgers in the Boston area in 2011. There are now locations in more than 10 states, including franchises, plus a reality show on A&E about the family-run company.

The menu includes several burgers as well as sandwiches, salads and sides. The signature burger comes with lettuce, tomato, onion, American cheese, "Paul's signature Wahl sauce" and housemade pickles. Burgers range in price from $9.25 to $12.95.
185 University was previously occupied by Sam's Chowder House, whose owners sold the business to Wahlburgers last year.
During the restaurant's soft opening phase, Wahlburgers Palo Alto will be open from 11 a.m. to about 7 p.m., an employee said. The restaurant will eventually stay open late, until midnight.
Nuthin' wrong with a Burger, once in awhile ! You can't eat fusion noodles every day .... As long as their lunch time service is prompt, they have a chance.
This was a big disappointment. Maybe it will improve...and I hope so.
This is a very low key “fast food" place with slow service. My chili arrived at the table in a paper cup with a plastic spoon. Huh?!
They need to “up their game" to be successful in the savvy foodie neighborhood of Palo Alto.
That's a serious question, I can't tell from your comment. "This is a very low key . . . place with slow service. . . chili arrived at the table in a paper cup with a plastic spoon"
Who knows what kind of a restaurant this "is," until it has run for a while and reached a steady state.
The real big disappointment is the negativity people spew on this site - Not even open yet and Red decides to post this kind of vitriol. Shame on you. All the time and dollars they are investing in Palo Alto and you can't even give them the time to tune their game. I'll tell you what - don't go if you don't like it but...
I think I'll head over at lunch today to show my support and welcome them to our town! I'll be happy to provide them with my direct constructive comments so they can hear what this foodie is looking for in a Palo Alto burger shack!
The negativity you point out, "real disappointment," seems like part of human nature that leads people to judge restaurants harshly even though quite unfairly -- like complaining about details, projecting everyone's experience ("very low key . . . place with slow service"), judging the whole from minor menu items (how ...
The genius (some use other words for it) of Y*lp's founders was to harness that instinct. Not just to provide content without cost, but also leverage (I know many examples of this), to pressure restaurants to buy advertising in exchange for removing the random misleading negativity that so reliably appears.
One really shouldn't go to brand new restaurants unless one is tolerant of some unevenness in the quality of the experience. This restaurant isn't even running its normal hours of operation yet.
The staff turnover rate is exceptionally high in the first few months of a new restaurant business, so many of the people who were cooking and serving the food on Sunday may be replaced with new people in a short while.
I'll probably wait at least six months before I walk through their door.
Best of luck to them.
The restaurant business is one of the toughest there is. If a new restaurant can't "hit the ground running" on the first day, or at the very least by the end of the first week, good luck surviving on a street where there is a lot of competition, including another hamburger joint and one that closed not too long ago bec...
I'll give Wahlburgers a chance because I'm always looking for a good burger. There aren't many good burger joints around here.
No Garden or Veggie Burgers!?
I am assuming Wahlberg did some basic research, and so I am surprised that they didn't add garden burger to their menu. Especially in the heart of Silicon Valley, there is a big population of non-meat eaters, like myself, who often crave a good veggie burger.
No, Hamburgler: Clumsy openings, unrepresentative of the normal experience over most of the business's lifetime, are basic restaurant reality for reasons some of us mentioned. (Alert customers know that and allow for it, and restaurants even forewarn them with language like "soft opening" quoted in the story.) Yes it's...
What's important at the start is for owners to have pockets deep enough to weather the slow build-up of business, and for them to spot and fix the inevitable start-up bugs as soon as possible.
I think some of you "educated" Palo Alto people should use that brain of yours and look up the meaning SOFT OPENING.. Come on guys use that million dollar brain. Again SOFT OPENING.
Close to a full year since first announced. Web Link (last Dec 2).
Plenty of, uh, negative commenting in that thread too.
Life, as we know it, is over.
Wondering why my earlier post was deleted. Was just pointing out my unwillingness to give my business to someone with a racist and violent past.
Editor, please don't censor my comments, which are factual and not opinion-based. Thx.
I hope this is good. I've heard great stories from friends on the East Coast who've tried the burgers. We'll give it a try.
No Veggie Burger!!! Obviously didn't do research in this area.
I miss Sam's Chowder House at this location.
I've heard from many not to expect to be wow'd though.
What is so miserable about the façade? I loved going there when it was The Good Earth.
So, for me at least, Wahlburgers might be an improvement.
Why don't any of you use your real name?
My son and I went on Tuesday. The burger was actually pretty good - I would say it was without a doubt better than Gott's and probably even better than Counter. Our server had a variety of recommendations, one of which I went with, and it was a very good combination of flavors and textures. The onion strings were excel...
We are not a veggie burger family, so that is not a factor for us.
Service is excellent. Greeted immediately at the door, and the manager came over and talked to us a couple of times during the meal. We have a little bit of an interesting story that perhaps accounted for some of the attention - Wahlburgers's dad and my father-in-law were drinking buddies in Hingham, Massachusetts year...
Price was a little high, but it is University Avenue and that is not cheap real estate. I like the combination of self service, fun service and take out options - unique and useful. If you wasn't a burger place, this seems to be a pretty good choice.
If this was only the second day of operation - for god's sake, they are doing a great job. We'll see how it goes, and we will for sure go again.
Neither Gitt's nor Counter are very high bars. Umami burger and Fleming's are my bar. Frankly, I like Kirjs and Nut House burgers better than the first two.
@Jim Baer "unchanged miserable facade"
Yeah, I guess The Cheesecake Factory down the street is more of what we're going for now in Palo Alto.
I think Smashburgers in Santa Clara and SJC are fantastic. Juiciest burger I ever had was at SJC. I also like Jeffrey's on El Camino in Menlo Park.
Didn't realize Fleming's sold hamburgers. Perhaps $20 burgers?
Looking forward to trying Wahlburgers.
I see no burgers on Fleming's on-line menu. No prices either.
I'm literally seeing some women getting all excited about this solely because they have the hots for the Mark Wahlberg.
2) The food is entirely forgettable, if you're lucky.
3) Your call. It's fast food.
As we have learned over the course of several painful lessons,we will be waiting for at least a month before we even consider trying it. Too many people wanting to try the new thing coupled with the trials and tribulations of opening a new restaurant.
That being said, I am ALWAYS skeptical about celeb restaurants in general. Trading off the name of an actor, a boy band and reality star (whos married to an anti-vaxxer), and ??? is shouting "danger danger" too me.
And as always I'm perplexed as to why people think that The Counter is some sort of world beating burger. Its good, but its not great.
Flemings Burgers are on the bar menu. They come with fries. They used to be $8 during happy hour. It's a pretty decent burger. However, the bun has a sweet taste which I don't care for. The Fries are also cut too thin making them very greasy. For the money it' hard to beat Jeffrey's burgers. But why get a burger when y...
If you feel like splurging you can pay $20 for a burger at Madera. With tax and tip it will only set you back $26 and that is without a drink. Have a glass of Malbec with your burger at Madera you are looking at $45 with tax and tip.
... or $100 if you bring a date.
Burger was OK. Service is slow and unorganized. Plastic silverware.
And a 3.5% surcharge for the ACA, which the serving staff said they had no idea what that was.
The Counter has a delicious veggie burger, which is generously customizable. Jeffrey's has a veggie burger, too, as does Umami. Unfortunately, Kirk's does not, but Kirk's can be forgiven for being old school. Clark's in Mountain View is fun, and they have a veggie burger too.
I find it insulting when a hamburger restaurant does not include a non-meat entrée. Is it so hard to keep a frozen box of garden burgers in the freezer?
It might help if those of you complaining about the lack of a veggie burger actually tried the restaurant before offering your “review". As you can see by following the menu link early in the article they have a portobello sandwich. It's served on a hamburger roll. Mine had two shrooms each about the width of the roll....
Also tried the sweet potato tater tots despite not really being a tater tot fan. Noticeably has added sugar, which I didn't care for. They do note the added sugar on the menu. They also offer regular fries, tater tots (no added sugar), and onion rings.
Didn't actually compare menus, but prices seemed a couple bucks higher than some of competition such as Jeffrey's. But Wahlburger's offer option of table service.
Lil Wayne is still unhappy with Cash Money. While performing at Denver’s 420 Rally on Saturday (May 21), Weezy F. Baby fired off a few choice words at the label.
Although Weezy and Birdman have reportedly been working on a reconciliation, the animosity seems to continue. In March, Mannie Fresh also confirmed that Baby and Wayne have “not resolved” their issues despite reports to the contrary.
Weezy is currently suing the imprint for $51 million. He feels the label owes him money for his oft-delayed album Tha Carter V and believes he should be released from his deal.
Watch Wayne’s latest message to fans and Cash Money below.

Jay Mohr and Nikki Cox are calling it quits after 9 years of marriage. After filing for divorce, the actor shared a rare video of his ex on Instagram, which has us scratching our heads.
In the clip, Mohr can be heard from behind the camera, saying, "You're so beautiful" to the former "Las Vegas" star. The caption reads, "Married. Happy. And A lot."
It's important to note that the comedian released a stand-up album, "Happy. And a Lot," last year, featuring material written entirely by his wife.
Doesn't the timing of the video seem a little odd?!
Married. Happy. And A lot.
Mohr cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split. According to the documents – filed on Tuesday – the couple had a prenuptial agreement that included terms of spousal support.
"We are very married, very in love and that's really all there is," the actor told PEOPLE in a statement.
The now-estranged couple got married on Dec. 29, 2006 and have a 5-year-old son, Meredith Daniel, together.
Whoa! Wait Until You See Nikki Cox's Grammy Award Connection!

A desperate young man was filmed jumping from the third story of a blazing shopping mall in Russia’s Kemerovo after smoke forced him to hang out of a window. A crowd of people can be seen on the ground attempting to catch him.
It was not immediately clear whether the jumper survived the ordeal, but Russia’s Investigative Committee said three women, one man and a child were presumed dead in the fire.
A video obtained by RT’s video agency Ruptly showed a crowd of people seemingly preparing to catch a person hanging from a third floor window as black smoke billows from it. People scream in terror as the young man jumps. He can be seen hitting the canopy on the ground floor before landing amidst the crowd. The video t...
The massive fire erupted in the Kemerovo shopping mall on Sunday afternoon. Emergency services rescued over a hundred people and continue to work at the site.
