50 Best Burger Restaurants in San Francisco

“Sooooooooooooooooooo delicious“

“Amazing burger !! Je recommande !!“

“Wow! I’m visiting San Francisco and chose this spot on a busy Valentine’s Day. Boy was that the right call! Food was perfection, fries were crispy fresh-and don’t sleep on the onion rings! Service was attentive and sweet, tables were spotless, and atmosphere was vibrant and fresh. 💯 recommend and would be back.“

“We went late (10 pm on a Friday). The burgers were fresh and fast. They were juicy and incredible. I had the Phat bob, she had the mushroom. They were amazing. The garlic fries are also great, made with fresh garlic. The onion rings were ok but def go for the fries instead. Service was fast, helpful, and friendly. A great experience.“

“Good food under the towering Bay Bridge- great views 😍“

“old school drive in burger joint. fresh beef!“

“Mo's serve one of the best burger experience I've had in a long time. The moment I took my first bite, it was clear that they take real pride in their craft. The patty was incredibly juicy, perfectly seasoned, and cooked perfect medium rate. The bun was soft and well toasted, enough to hold everything together, and the toppings were fresh, crisp, and thoughtfully layered so each bite had the perfect balance of flavor and texture.

I order their volcano burger and it has this great sauce that added a rich, tangy finish to the entire burger. The atmosphere was relaxed and inviting, making it a great spot for a casual meal with friends or a quick bite on the go and the staff were also friendly and quick to offer great recommendations. Ill be more than happy to come back and try more from their menu!“

“My favorite food is everything on the menu“

“Absolutely fantastic.

Great quality, flavor, and good presentation on food. Highly recommend their salsa verde on just about anything. Superb. My favorite: Chilaquiles with ham, verde sauce. You won’t regret it.

Friendly, family feel staff, quick food, clean environment, atmosphere not too loud though when full it can get moderate.“

“The burgers are so juicy and delicious! Anthony Bourdain was right!“

“Great quality and service“

“Breakfast is Fantastic...My Advice? "Don't Come For Breakfast....IF You're Not Hungry" ...They Feed You Plenty😁Herb Caen Burger Was Delicious For Dinner...Great Service,Too 👍😊“

“Your chicken sandwich swelled up my lip because it was so dang hot“

“What a delicious smash burger. Only open five hours a week at the outer sunset farmers market, I had to plan my Sunday around having this burger. Ordered at 1030 am for a rare brunch burger. It was definitely worth it. Meat was smashed and crispy, and the bun of the burger was soft and tasty. I definitely recommend checking out this pop up burger shop if you can make it.“

“Ozzy’s Grill & Café delivered a very enjoyable dining experience. The food was excellent, with the fish and chips standing out—perfectly crispy, fresh, and cooked just right. The customer service was friendly, attentive, and welcoming, which made the visit even better. Overall, a solid spot that I highly recommend trying. You will not be disappointed.“

“I ran into this amazing little burger joint while walking around the Embarcadero Center. The owner was super nice but the burgers. Wow. Probably the best burger I've had in recent memory. I got the double burger with everything one it. It was so darn good. I'll probably grab another today because I'm drooling just thinking about it.“

“We stopped in last weekend while on a road trip and absolutely loved this place! The food was fantastic and reasonably priced. The manager, Alejandro Parada provided incredible customer service. I really wish we lived nearby so we could eat here all the time!“

“I recently tried a Hawaiian vegetarian burger, and wow, it was incredibly delicious. The combination of pineapple and teriyaki made it one of the best burgers I’ve had so far. The sweetness of the pineapple paired perfectly with the sauce, giving it a tropical twist while still keeping that satisfying, hearty burger feel.
I also tried the Challenger turkey burger, and it was yum as well. I added Thousand Island sauce and pickles, which made it even better — tangy, creamy, and full of great flavor. Both burgers still had a nice touch of traditional burger taste, which I really enjoyed.
Overall, a fantastic experience — definitely worth trying!“

“Favorite burger joint in SF. The guys working there are super chill and welcoming, and it's got a cozy atmosphere. The burgers themselves, namely the piggy jack for me, are spectacular, especially for the low price they sell them at. They're open late and well within stumbling distance from any of the other haunts nearby.“

“Edit: My recent experiences here have been more mixed than in the past. Employees here are still fairly friendly but prices are no longer so reasonable. I do enjoy the new rewards program, though.

The employees are always super friendly and the food is awesome at a reasonable price (considering the city we're in and how expensive other quality burger places can be). They offer lots of meat options for burgers as well as a vegetable patty, and have seasonal items that rotate (like certain drinks/beers, salads, and certain meats like elk). Love it here and go to both locations all the time.“

“Love the truffle fries!!!“

“Great service, the waiter was very nice and the food was delicious“

“Best place to watch am Eagles game. Felt like home. Great atmosphere and food!“

“I’ve been coming here off and on for many years. The burgers are always delicious and juicy. Fries are crispy and the shakes (Mitchell’s ice cream!) cool and creamy. It’s no frills but serves the purpose and craving for a good delicious burger.“

“A great brunch spot in San Francisco that’s absolutely worth the visit. Parking can be a bit difficult to find, but once you’re inside, it’s easy to forget about the hassle. The food is consistently excellent—especially the bacon, which is perfectly cooked and full of flavor. I highly recommend the hash omelette; it’s hearty, well-seasoned, and very satisfying. Whether you’re stopping by for breakfast or lunch, it’s a solid choice. Expect to spend around $30–$35 per person, which feels fair for the quality and portions.“

“I’ve been here before on Union Street. This time we were craving a good burger, so we drove 20 minutes and went to Roam Burgers on Fillmore.
Totally worth the drive, and the SF parking agony.
Even though it’s a burger spot, the service was a step above. Then the food came out… really good burger, possibly double-ground, super juicy. The bun held everything together, which matters. Fries were also very good.

The kicker: tomato soup. They had tomato soup, it only got better from there.

Bottom line: great service, great burger, satisfying experience.

Eat there.“

“Great friendly service and great food !“

“Uncle boys is a go-to for a late night burger, chicken sandwich, onion rings, mozzarella sticks, fries. They're available on delivery apps, but they also have their own app that they prefer to use to keep prices lower and profits in-house.

I've had many good experiences. Mostly doing delivery and takeout with them. Uncle boys has a cool history and I'm glad they're around the area when things tend to close on the earlier side.

I think it's tasty food with a good variety of options. They're open late and local. Can't really complain! Personally, I go enough to where I'd be sad if they were gone. Thank you for being an nearby option after a night out or a long day.“

“Great place with very delicious food.“

“Great hamburger, my wife had a mini burger and I had a super burger, this can be translated to a regular jumbo Jack and a double meat hamburger just to give you an idea since the names of this burger are deceptive. Definitely will be back here as longer we are in San Francisco.“

“Walked by this spot often and always loved how friendly they were so I stopped in for a double cheeseburger - was honestly blown away! Solid juicy grilled patties and fresh ingredients - doesn’t leave you feeling too “greasy” after either. Went back twice! Def one of my fave burger spots!!“

“I was was in San Francisco and looking for something to eat and this place popped up and thank Jesus it did ..there burgers are amazing I'm still dreaming about the moment I took the first bite when I come back San Francisco I'm definitely going to come here again
Keep up the good work“

“Couldn't decide what kind of burger to get so I asked paelin ( the guy on the register ) what he likes he said bacon cheeseburger or the western bacon blue ring. I chose the blue ring Paelin was very quick in getting the order in and showed good customer service. I will come back and recommend to others. Burger was delicious I love blue cheese also paired well with a side of onion rings and strawberry lemonade.“

“They have the Best Burgers in the Bay Area❤️ The staff is very Friendly and Nice❤️❤️❤️“

“This is by far the best burger place in the area. The cashier that works nights, he is one of the reasons we love this place so much! Not only dose he always remember us but he remembers what sauce we want even after not going there for over 2 months!
They have the best fries! (remind me of fries from back home in new zealand) the philly and cheese steak is bomb 11/10! The banana shake too 11/10
There junior burger is bomb too!
Definitely recommend going here, there prices are on the more expensive side but it's understandable with how everything is now. It's still worth every dollar“

“Delicious & great food. & nice place“

“It was late night order and I’ve never had a burger dog before but wanted to try since frisco fried out them on the scene back in the day. Ordered my door dash and couldn’t wait. As soon as they arrive I could smell the goodness so I take my pics and dive in.Burger Dog: Hefty on the meat, felt like it was more beef than an actual burger and I wanna say easier to eat. Only change I would add bacon and that’s my bad. Very good burger dog!Bacon Hot Dog: Butterflied Beef Dog with crispy bacon! Another hit.Very simple menu options but they hit it out the park. Would definitely double back to this spot to try them fresh.

Parking: It’s on 20th street so not impossible but keep your eyes open spots get taken fast

Kid-friendliness: Burgers, Hot Dogs, Fries I think so….

Wheelchair accessibility: It’s in San Francisco it has to be accessible“

“Patties are cooked medium. That is the default. But you can get other levels of done-ness if you ask nicely enough. The beef is tender and juicy, however it's cooked. Condiments and toppings are all top-notch. Good cheese selection. Fries? Cooked in tallow, as they should be. Crispy and delicious. You'll be missing out on something great if you don't get one of the malted milkshakes here.“

“Little Joey Skidmark lives just a half block away from Big Baba in that little funky yellow house, so when he asked me for a ride home from pier 3 I said as long as you sit on your jacket and keep the window down, because I don't want a stained seat in my truck. So he got a ride home, and I got to enjoy the world famous grilled chicken sandwich from Big Baba Eats! I got it without the grilling, and it was Amazing! 5 stars ☆☆☆☆☆“

“Your chicken sandwich swelled up my lip because it was so dang hot“

“Delicious, made-to-order Brazilian burgers — tasteful with multiple proteins layered in every bite. Steak, griddle fried chicken, sausage, fried egg depending on the combo chosen.

An excellent late night option in an industrial part of town. Uniquely street food in its experience. One-of-a-kind unmatched anywhere in San Francisco.“

“Last Saturday we ordered a lot of food from the melt. The whole crew was working overtime and we all ordered multiple items and the crew absolutely killed it. Lady working the cashier was absolutely amazing. Sweetest lady ever. The cooks were amazing and they have a very good crew working. The only names I received were Mar, Janeka, Dom and Tone but everyone was incredible and we definitely will be back.“

“I like this place.. however no bills over twenty is Irking me!!!“

“They do phone orders! Cash and credit card.

Stopped here on the way to crabbing :)

Never been before, but very happy we tried it out! Got 3 combos and 2 porks, yum! Warm and crunchy! They were very nice :)“

“Everything about the place was excellent. The lace on the patty was so good that it was almost overwhelming. The food court itself makes for a very safe and clean feeling space to eat, especially considering how close it is to a rough part of town. This is a wonderful option for a high quality meal. I would definitely recommend it.“

“As advertised. Super tasty, great menu, good vibe. Perfect last meal in San Fran.“

“Great pub! Great staff! I really enjoyed the shepherds pie. They have Powers!“

“My favorite place to eat at Chase Center. I truly love going to the main store in Oakland. But when at the Chase Center, I always enjoy the fried chicken salad. For $12, it's not a bad deal when compared to the other options. Portion is not that big, but it's a decent size for a ball game.“
