Best burgers in San Francisco
How do these rankings work?
1. The Saratoga
This is a two-story cocktail bar, restaurant, and event space located in San Francisco’s historic Tenderloin district, in the original Saratoga Hotel building built in 1908.
Their menu is full of delights, but the burger with Tallegio cheese stands head and shoulders above everything else, which is really saying something.
2. Garaje
This diner-meets-dive bar on 3rd street serves up really great Mexican food, quality beers and burgers to die for. What more could you ask for in life? Try the double if you have a serious appetite.
3. Causwells
This neighbourhood American-style bistro by Chef Adam Rosenblum & Tom Patella has a darn good cheeseburger, which they make with their own special sauce that brings it all together.
It’s won plenty of awards; it’s really not hard to see why once you take that first bite.
4. 4505 Burgers & BBQ
They focus on humanely-raised smoked meat, grass fed burgers and classic sides. The atmosphere is casual, and the staff friendly, making it the sort of place you’ll linger for a couple of drinks after the feast that is their burger.
It’s a beauty.
5. Beep’s Burgers
Since 1962, Beep’s Burgers has been serving hamburgers, milkshakes, fries and more at its original location on Ocean Avenue in San Francisco.
They keep things super classic in style, with the quality of the ingredients and service being at the core of the offering. Once you’ve had one of these, no other burgers will ever taste as good again.
6. Mission Bowling Club
What could possibly be more fun that bowling, drinking beer and eating some of the best burgers in town? Bring your friends along here and you are sure to have an epic night in the Mission.
The burgers themselves are simple-yet-tasty, with super fat, juicy patties that will leave you feeling utterly satisfied.
7. WesBurger ‘n’ More
Serving up some truly delicious burgers and not to mention their large list of sides from the mac-and-cheese with onions to tater tots with queso, caramelized onions, bulgogi bacon, and special sauce.
A fan favourite is the Hot Wes with thin, crispy fried onions, pickled jalapenos, and queso. Yum!
