Such a warm and welcoming team at this restaurant -- our server was Sevy and she was so great We ordered : -100 layer potatoes (10/10) the sauce it comes w is delicious (and this comes from someone who isn't typically a sauce person) - American smash burger (9.5/10) it was DELICIOUS I just should have asked if they could add tomatoes to mine but that's just a personal preference - Caesar salad (9/10) was great too-- highly recommend getting it as a side to the burger. Even though it's a side it's still fairly big Enjoy! read more

We were lucky to be seated immediately on a Sunday during brunch prime time. We sat outdoors on a sunny day. We had the brunch burger and it was so good. Every single ingredient does a perfect job in complementing each other. I highly recommend this spot for their burgers. read more

Causwells - Brunch burger - New American Near Me - San Francisco, California

I ordered the breakfast and it came with 4 pieces of bacon, what seemed like less than 1 scrambled egg, and some super sad potatoes for something like $18. It was just so pitiful looking I was about to reach across the table and eat the other half of my date's sandwich. But 2nd date so I said my food was good and held off lol. Point being, do not come here for the food!!! I know it's the Marina, but let's have some standards, I was embarrassed and will probably not come back. read more

Super cute brunch place!! There aren't many seats (not too small though) I'd definitely recommend making a reservation before coming. The appetizers were my favorite--pretty filling--and the portions for the entrees are really big. Service was great everything came out fast and was average price for brunch in SF. Also tried some of the cocktails nothing out of the ordinary but the presentation was nice. Would come back again! read more

The burger, on my goodness...I dream of it! The Americana Burger ranks at the top of the burgers I have had in my entire life. It is so flavorful and so juicy, it melts in your mouth! They also have great appetizers and a good drink selection. They staff is always really nice! I mentioned we were there for my partner's birthday and next thing we know they brought us over a glass of celebratory Prosecco! Very thoughtful! read more

Underwhelmed with the American burger we got here. This is just mine and my group of 7 people's opinion and maybe this will de influence the hype around this burger specifically. The bun was soft and fluffy, the top part was nice. The bottom bun was all soggy and soaked. The japalenos on the burger were a strange kind of taste - a bit too vinegary. Not at all what we expected. Fries were ok pretty standard. Now the fried onion crisps were FANTASTIC. But they don't make a whole meal imo. We just weren't left in awe. I personally think the burgers are super duper are SO much better. We did end up going there after for milkshakes anyways . read more

food was great ! Both burgers were good, nothing bad to say about the food. It was a little pricey, like if want a side they charge an extra 2-3 bucks, which isn't bad but still. Other than that everything was great. The customer service was good as well, our server was sweet. read more

Causwells - Americana Burger & Crispy Chicken Sandwich - New American Near Me - San Francisco, California

I came in at 3 for a quick bite but everything about experience sucked. I came because I heard great things from colleagues. Unfortunately I did not get anything great. When I arrived at the door everyone seemed too cool or busy to help me. When I finally asked to be seated they took forever to check in on us. The waiter left and said she would get us water but never came back till 20 minutes later. I ordered the burger and I noticed the table next to me ordered the same thing after but for some reason I got my food 15 minutes after them. I waited 30 minutes during a not busy time for mediocre at best burger. Save your money and take it somewhere else. It's expensive the service sucks and sad I wasted my stomach space to try this spot. read more

The restaurant lived up to the TikTok hype -- such a delicious burger! Definitely a pricey one. I had a reservation during the evening and had to wait 30 minutes for the table to open up as the previous diners took a while to finish their meals. Other than that little piece I would for sure come back and order another burger. read more

Causwells - Americana Burger - New American Near Me - San Francisco, California

Wanted to try this place out after seeing someone on tiktok said they moved to SF just for the burger LOL Wanted to note that service is not that great here. Got sat like 5 minutes before the table next to us but they somehow got helped before we did and got their table set up. Our waiter then proceeds to talk to some people passing on the street in the middle of taking our order. MAINS Americana Burger: This was hands down the best burger I've ever had which is crazy to say. It's just so well constructed and has that American essence of what a burger should be. The crispy onions are non negotiable. They are absolutely delicious, crispy and perfectly salted. Such an amazing meal. Overall, service was lacking but I have to admit that the burger was amazing. I'll be interested in trying their other options but the burger is so hard to pass up. I'd recommend this place, but solely for the burger and not the service. read more

When it comes to hamburgers there are only a few places that can say they have the best hamburger in the city and not sound crazy. Causwells can say it and scream it at the top of their damn lungs if they want. No one will argue. This is a fatty and juicy burger. The flavor is big time. There's no mistaking it. It's a big time burger. But be careful it's going to stop you dead in your tracks and have you searching for the nearest pillow and blanky for a quick little post burger nap. It's not the size of it, it's just the richness of the fats and quality of the ingredients that does it. It's magnificent. Best burger in SF? Say it, I will have a hard time proving you wrong.

Stumbled across this place looking for dinner close-ish to our hotel. The service was fantastic: they seated us quickly in the heated parklet outside. Our table service was attentive and friendly. The food however left us wishing we had ordered something else...we ordered the 100 later fries with herb aioli (best part of our meal, gourmet fries basically) crispy brussels (a better name would be "hard brussels",) and shrimp linguine with crab and scampi butter. The shrimp linguine dish was just ok.... 3 stars for great service, ambience and clean place! read more

Causwells had really tasty food and great service, our waiter was very attentive and kind. They had a lot of outdoor seating which made for a great day out In the Marina. My biggest problem was that during their happy hour, they only served burgers.. even though they had a menu of other food we really wanted to try! Not sure if this was a temporary thing, but was a bit of a disappointment as we were expecting to have more options for food. That being said, the burgers were delicious! I ordered the veggie burger and the patty was huge and so filling and tasty. I had a bite of my partners fried chicken burger which was pretty good too. I loved the fries and fried onions that came as sides. Their cocktail menu also looked so unique and tasty, but we opted for their $7 happy hour martinis which were so good and pretty strong! Would love to come back here to try their other menu food and drink items. read more

Place fell off so hard. Used to have line down chestnut in 2023 summer for burger. I used to get it all the time was 9/10. Have gotten it 3 times in a row, not even close to as good as it was. Just feels like the quality fell off a cliff. read more

Delicious Americana burger with crispy onions strings! The onion strings are perfectly crispy and seasoned, would definitely recommend trying. We made a reservation ahead of time so got seated quickly. There is outdoor seating which is perfect for a sunny evening as well! read more

Fun atmosphere. Good brunch vibe. Sitting at the bar would be fun. Tasty kale salad. Great service. Prepare to literally scream if you need to call when busy - it's too loud for the person answering to hear you. Buy not loud at your table. read more

I've been hearing so much about the burger at Causwells on social media so I was excited to try it out. Overall, the burger is solid and the ingredients taste fresh and high quality. It is a little more on the expensive side for a cheeseburger, but the ambiance is nice and service is good. The crispy onion rings are delicious also! read more

I recently visited Causwells to celebrate a 10 year anniversary and the experience was wonderful! Not only did the server surprise us at the end of our meal with champagne and a dessert, we had a really great meal! The famous burger was definitely worth the hype and the arugula salad was one of the better I've had. Very cute vibes sitting outside on a cool night. We had heaters above our table to keep us warm. Will definitely be visiting again! read more

This place is awesome! The staff is super friendly, and their food and drink is unique and fabulous. We tried their peel apart bread with hummus dip and it blew. my. mind. The bread was so fluffy and soft and the dipping flavors were rich and flavorful. Their happy hour includes frozen cocktail drinks which are so so yummy. I'd never tried a frozen spicy watermelon cocktail mix but their "Melon con Chile" was refreshing, and hit the spot! Super unique. They have great outdoor seating, and their location is prime. I highly recommend adding this place to your list if you're in the Marina District or visiting SF! read more

We just dined here for Valentine's Day (we were WAY late, long nap, sleeping through alarms) and they still accommodated us! Our server, Rudy, was nothing short of incredible. The service was fast, and he was there as soon as my water was slightly empty. He was very attentive and seemed to know what we were thinking before we did. We will be coming back because of the quick service and AWDSOME food. I had the braised short ribs and OH MY GOOODDDDD read more

Awesome place for brunch! Best burger in the city! Also the crispy onion rings are insane, so good. read more

My friends and I saw an Instagram reel about the holiday drinks at Causwells and decided to go for dinner after our Secret Santa! I've always heard about the burger being really good here so I was looking forward to it. We made a reservation and were seated outside, the heaters actually kept the tables nice and warm. For drinks, we ordered: - Christmas morning (my favorite one, part of the drink came in a cute little Christmas ornament shaped bottle and it was fun to pour it in to the rest of the drink, the drink itself was refreshing) - Elvis Christmas (this one was okay) - Ube Coquito (so light and refreshing but flavorful at the same time) - Spiked Hot Chocolate (tasted just as good as regular hot chocolate but was also a little filling to drink right before dinner) For apps, we got an Arugula Flatbread and the Mac n Cheese -- they were good but the main star was definitely the Americana Burger! It was so juicy and came as a double patty, the burger was huge so I felt like I got bang for my buck. We got fried onions and fries on the side and I liked the fries more personally. Another aspect I loved about this place is they brought us three big sauce bottles without us needing to ask -- ketchup, garlic aioli, and hot sauce! For dessert, we got the banana bread grilled cheese -- it was banana bread with mascarpone. It reminded me of a sweet French toast, we enjoyed trying something new read more

I came here after EmotionAir, an interactive balloon art exhibit at the Palace of Fine Arts today. It was close, it got good ratings, and they had mac & cheese, which was my youngest son's. Thank you, Yelp, for allowing me to search by dishes for kids like that. I was pleasantly surprised with my great server, the White Cacao Negroni I ordered (don't ever take that off the menu and must get the recipe...Delicious)! My other son loves chicken tenders, but when I saw they had grilled chicken on the kids menu (and I noticed they had a crispy chicken sandwich on the main menu), I asked them to make the grilled chicken 'crispy' for him and he LOVED it. I ordered some deviled eggs for myself because I wasn't that hungry and they were solid. Everything was really good and the atmosphere was calm, quiet, and stylish. Definitely will come back. I've been living in the Bay Area for 15 years and I'm surprised I haven't found this place yet, but now I'm glad I know a cute, intimate, reasonably priced spot with solid cocktails and food that kids AND adults can eat! read more

Came here for date night on a Friday night we didn't have reservations but got lucky two seats were Available at the bar. The bartenders were nice and very attentive. They had a special holiday menu of drinks so we ordered Two Americana burgers and two holiday drinks. The burgers were so good ($20 each) burgers came with a mixed green salad with a lemon vinaigrette dressing which was nice very light. Overall very good experience read more

The servers and hosts are very nice. Found a hair or black string in my fries. They just made me a new order but it was so off putting I asked for it to go. They just carried on like it was nothing. The owners should have protocols to accommodate if things like this happens. Not the servers or employees fault. It is clear there is stress on profit rather than customer satisfaction. They ended up giving me less fries than I got eating in which is disappointing since they charge you extra for fries at a burger restaurant. The replacement food I got was cold. It honestly just looks like they gave me a new burger with the same fries. Be cautious they will reduce your food portions if you order to go. The patty was dry. The buns were dry. Overall needs more sauce. It seems like they are minimalist with food but after this experience it's obvious they are just stingy. Update: Instead of trying to make amends, the owner messaged me on Yelp and tried to intimidate me to change my review from "opinions" to "more factual". Again another incident of the owners caring more about their appearance rather than customer satisfaction. read more

My partner and I came to Causwells on a Friday night without a reservation a little before 6 PM and was told that the wait would be 3+ hours since the tables were booked until 9:30 PM. It was a bit disappointing since I had heard such great things about the burger here. We checked the reservations online as we walked away and to our surprise, there was 1 left at 6 PM, so we snagged it right away. We came back and showed the reservation to the hostess saying there was one left, and she questioned me with "Are you sure about that?" and shrugged us off with a bunch of attitude. She went on to say that there's no tables for us even if we had a reservation and she doesn't know what to say to us. We even showed her the reservation confirmation email, but that didn't change anything. As we were about to walk away, another waiter came to show the hostess where our name was, which was hidden in their system (maybe because we had just reserved) and we were finally able to sit down. Everything else was great after this situation. The drinks and food were everything I expected. I just wanted to shed some light on how rude the hostess was and how she almost turned us away even if we were able to make a reservation. read more

Ambiance and food was pretty good! I would come back. Decent brunch menu adding to my rotation. Small and quaint. Not for large parties!

I've been here before but forgot to post a review, so I was so thrilled when I got to return with my uncle and friends last night. If you're a burger person, do yourself a favor and indulge in the Americana Burger--this burger is culture incarnate from look and feel to its juicy taste. It is authentic a burger as they come with all the fixings, right down to the American cheese and sesame seed bun. I wish I had gotten I picture, but u had to dig in as soon as it came! I couldn't resist. Their cocktails are just as good: whether you're looking for a classic martini or something fun and creative. This restaurant on chestnut is cute both inside and out, and has wonderful, speedy service which is absolutely a god send when you're hungry for a late night dinner. I was happy to catch up and indulge, chatting over a bottle of wine long after our burgers and the side of onion strings (yum) were finished. read more

Catching up on Yelp reviews and I visited Causwells back in September over Labor Day Weekend. Causwells has been on my list for a while as they are known for their Burger, which is rated as one of the best burgers in the US. Me and my friend arrived here around 2pm on a Sunday after hiking around the Presidio so we worked up an appetite. It wasn't too busy and there were people sitting outside. The vibe is very cool. It was very colorful, light, and it felt like being in a coastal town. We ordered the salmon sliders and oysters to share, which were great! The salmon sliders were super fresh and they had a lot of flavor. The oysters were smaller, but they were tasty with good brine. We both had the Americana Burger. I am not a huge fan of seeded buns and I thought the bun was very dry with little to no flavor. It definitely needed to be big and bready to absorb the juices from the burger patty. I thought that the toppings were very good. The cheese was flavorful and melty and the sauce had great flavor. Fries were very mid, but they were crispy and salty. Not worth an extra $3. Should have gone with the onion strings instead! Bun: 3 Burger: 10 Toppings: 10 Overall: 7.67 Fries: 5 A con of Causwells is that I only found one gender neutral restroom, so you will be waiting a while especially when it's more crowded. I thought prices were fair and service was adequate. The portion sizes were big so there is value here. Overall, I think you can come for the seafood with a coastal vibe. The burger was good, but I thought it could have been better. read more

Great spot! One of the better burgers I've had in a while - every ingredient was really flavorful, and the fried onions were great as well. Loved the holiday- themed drinks too. My girlfriend especially really liked the Christmas Morning drink. Special shoutout to Pedro whose service was absolutely incredible! Will definitely be back! read more

Came here after the lunch crowd the Wednesday before Thanksgiving and they have always been consistent and on point with service and quality of food. We ended up sitting at the bar and enjoyed the conversation by one of the newer bartenders. We started off with 1/2 dozen raw oysters that on this particular day came from Washington State along with the 3 deviled eggs as part of our appetizer. We then ordered their Americana smash burger which comes with cheese and usual accompaniments. Five solid stars once again and my only upward feedback is to inform the staff at lineup of where certain items originate from as many guests are savvy enough and may want to know such information from the server during ordering or in many cases questions pertaining to allergens. read more
