Spats Berkeley

About

Spats has been flipping burgers in the same spot for over four decades, a counter-service place where you order at the register and eat at small tables or take it to go. The menu is narrow by design—burgers, fries, a few sides—and regulars come back because the beef is decent and the portions don't pretend to be anything fancy. It's the kind of spot that works for a quick lunch or feeding a group without ceremony.
