Good burgers but don't get it overcooked 7/19/2008

We love going to burgermeister as we live two blocks away but but lately I've been noticing that they can't get the 'doneness' right. Even though they use great meat we like to order our burgers medium-well for health-safety reasons. Unfortunately, they have started to come out well done with a charred taste (ick)! We are now experimenting with medium but I wanted to pass this along to people to reduce the number of overcooked burgers they serve. Pros: GReat quality food in a nice environment Cons: watch out how they cook your burger more

What a prize spot! 2/1/2008

We were in town for UC/SF and just happened to find a nearby parking spot on Cole and Carl. We figured ""How could they screw up a burger?"", which is how we ended up at a window table with a great double cheeseburger, crispy fries and heavenly clam chowder. Pros: Great food, great service, friendly people Cons: Cash only....FYI more

Great Place for a Burger 7/9/2007

I love this burger place! The burgers are always great (I especially like that you can get your burger on a wheat bun) and the french fries are excellent. They do a great job of cooking the burgers as requested (whether medium, medium well, or well done), which many places do not do well. It's my first choice when I want a good burger in the city. Pros: Great burgers, friendly service Cons: Parking can be difficult, can be a wait for a table during peak hours, cash only more

Dive Delivers Great Burgers 7/8/2007

Burgermeister makes great hamburgers, perhaps the best I have ever had. Unfortunately this particular Burgermeister is very small with a cramped dining room. Tables are constantly being moved around the room by patrons attempting to find a suitable place for their group to eat and if you are standing and waiting for your order to go you are in everybody's way. The other negative is that this Burgermeister is cash only. So, if you want a great hamburger but can't drive to another Burgermeister I would recommend taking some cash here and grabbing getting a burger to go. Pros: Great Burgers Cons: Cash Only, Small Dining Room, Indifferent Service, No Parking more

Best burger spot in the neighborhood 11/16/2006

Really good burgers and fries, best in the neighborhood, and nothing beat getting both and sitting outside and watching the street traffic go by. Prompt friendly service. Pros: Does burger and fries about as well as can be done Cons: Small, not a lot of seating more

Best burger 11/13/2006

Delicious! Big, Niman Ranch beef, pineapple burgers, bleu cheese burgers, fish and chips, beer on tap, several locations, delicious, delicious, juicy. That about says it all. These are THE burger places when you're craving one. Pros: big fresh juicy Niman Ranch burgers Cons: fast food ambience more

Decent food but fails to impress at price point... 10/23/2006

Decent burger but flavor of the beef was a bit disappointing. Clearly this is a gourmet burger -- Niman Ranch meats, real cheese, large patties -- but I can't explain why the beef was so bland. Maybe my taste buds were expecting too much having just eaten a prime strip steak the night before but I clearly remember have much tastier burgers elsewhere. All that said, it's still a good burger, just not what I would expect for nine dollars. Pros: Large, filling burgers made to order Cons: Beef tasted bland. more

Good food and location 9/11/2006

Consistently great service, great food, you can read and eat lunch and no one bothers you. Parking is a tad difficult, but walking is good for you! Pros: Get there early, they do a steady business at lunch time Cons: parking might be a challenge more

one of the best burger places in San Francisco 7/21/2006

I think burgers are a matter of personal preference, but of the places I've been to in San Francisco, this certainly serves some of the better ones. The place is conveniently located on the N Judah line and serves very good large burgers and plenty of beer if you need it. more

great burgers 6/2/2003

I haven't eaten at every burger place in the city but this has to rank among the best. Big, tasty 1/2 pounders (they only use Niman beef) with ample toppings, good selection of standard burgers plus some more exotic ones, very friendly service, cozy setting, and beer ON TAP. A bit more than you'd usually pay for a burger but if you're looking for a great one, Burgermeister is worth it. Pros: Delicious, Friendly Cons: parking more
