Palo Alto Creamery at Stanford Restaurant Review, Palo Alto

Palo Alto Creamery has been serving up classic burger joint food since 1988. They have 2 locations in Palo Alto. We visited the one in the Stanford shopping center.
They specialize in burgers and ice cream fare. They serve breakfast, salads, sandwiches, and dinner entrees after 4pm. They have a $195 burger and Dom Perignon

Decor, Vibe - Classic diner decor with a big dessert display case and counter. Outdoor patio for al fresco burgers. Lots of shoppers, college students, and families were dining.

Picks:

Cheeseburger ($9.95) - with grilled onions, lettuce, pickels, tomatoes. They did ask how we wanted it done. Medium rare had a slight pink center and was juicy. A very good burger. Meat quality was fair with no Angus flavor detected. Cheese was pretty average.

BBQ Bacon Cheeseburger ($10.75) - with BBQ sauce, bacon, grilled onions, lettuce, pickels, tomatoes. They did ask how we wanted it done. Not a big premium to the Cheeseburger’s price. A nice combination of stuff, but very messy.

Root Beer Float ($5.25) - A huge wad of ice cream on the side of root beer. They do give you more root beer if you ask. Nice creamy Vanilla ice cream.

Service was fast and they did check back to see if we needed stuff fairly often. Price are pretty standard for a diner of this sort.
The burgers were solid very good ones, better than most. Only the couple top places can beat this place like Pearls, Custom Burger, Mos, or even The Counter.
