Bacon Cheeseburger
Nation’s signature, and it lives up to the “giant” in the name. A five-ounce beef patty with two slices of American cheese, three slices of bacon and all the fixings: lettuce, tomato, onion and dressing on a toasted bun. It is a big, messy diner burger, and a slice of pie afterwards is almost compulsory.

About Nation's Giant Hamburgers
In 1952 Russ Harvey sold his 1948 Buick and used the money to buy a six-stool hot dog stand in San Pablo, California. He added big hamburgers and renamed it Harvey’s Giant Hamburgers. In 1960 he hired a local teenager, Dale Power, as a janitor; Power worked his way through high school and UC Berkeley and in 1970 opened his own restaurant in Oakland, calling it Nation’s because he believed it sold the best hamburgers in the nation.
About 30 restaurants around the San Francisco Bay Area, Sacramento and Stockton, plus new branches near Dallas–Fort Worth.
