    The Marina/cow hollow area in SF, gives off small college town vibes! The streets are lined with a variety of different restaurants, shops, and so many places to explore. Causwells is one of the restaurants definitely worth exploring. First off, everyone on staff is so incredibly kind, generous, and welcoming, you'll never want to leave. There is a small bar area immediately to your left when you walk into this intimate feeling Restaurant. The bartender makes you feel like you're walking into chairs. Yes he's busy, but he acknowledges customers walking in. Very cool! We were immediately seated, and while the tables are on the smaller side and fairly close to one another, it's still created a very cozy experience. They have a nice menu that with a variety of items. The people seated next to us were enjoying the salmon and it looked absolutely delicious. We went for the burgers, because it's one of their must try items on the menu. It's a Smashburger with gooey cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, and this delicious deliciously soft tasty bun. Diners tip: the burger comes with onions, and we both asked for them to be grilled. This is definitely the way to go. The burger is very generous in size, snd delicious. Perfectly seasoned, well-made, and it is that taste sensation that we all crave when eating a burger. The fries were tasty and lightly seasoned, and if you can get through the entire burger and the fries, you get a gold star. I did my usual two bites and I was done and yes, I took the rest home with me. This is a great restaurant and definitely should be on your list of places to try!

    I've been wanting to try this spot for awhile. Street parking was hard at first but ended up finding parking across the street. The restaurant is nice and clean. The staff is attentive and friendly. I had many questions about the menu and our server was very kind. In my opinion and my palate the food was ok. The appetizer 100 layer was very greasy flavor was ok. The bread was delicious but dips had no flavor. My chicken burger was good. My husband said his cheeseburger was ok. The best thing was the margarita.

    Great meal, excellent service, and good vibes. The arugula salad was fresh, and the causwells ricotta was fantastic. You could spread that ricotta on basically anything and have it taste good. And then, the star of the show, the Americana burger. Is this the best burger I have ever had? No, but I can tell where the hype is. The sesame bun is fluffy and slightly toasted; the burger is incredibly juicy; and the fries are perfectly crispy. I will definitely come back to Causwells.

    We visited Causwells on a Sunday afternoon and got seated outdoors right away. They were serving brunch, for which the menu was relatively small. I wanted to order the N/A Aperitif Spritz, but just couldn't justify it for $17, so I ended up sticking with water. The cocktail list did look amazing though. For food, I ordered the Housemade Ricotta and Smoked Salmon Sliders. The Ricotta was tasty and I liked the subtle rosemary honey flavor. This item is definitely meant to be shared, but I was starving. The Smoked Salmon Sliders were tiny, but pretty good, especially they homemade pretzel buns. My partner and his family enjoyed their food as well, including the Causwells Breakfast, Cochinita Hash, and Breakfast Burrito. Overall, I've had better brunches in SF, but would return to the famous burger.

    Made a reservation and came here with my sister when they had all of the holiday festive drinks! We showed up early and ended up grabbing a seat at the bar instead of sitting down at a table. The bartenders were fabulous and the drinks are very well crafted. The cocktail menu is extensive and I look forward to trying some of their regular non-holiday drinks. The food was great, we got the famous ricotta to start and then the burger and fries. Both items were great and the burger is very solid. Overall, my sister and I had a fabulous time and we look forward to coming back. I definitely recommend sitting at the bar- the bartenders are fabulous and you get to watch them make gorgeous cocktails!

    Amazing, amazing, amazing. I was told about Causwell's when I first came up to San Francisco. Was told that it was a great place for burgers and really good food. I'll be honest, I didn't visit for a few months as I was busy checking out some of the other restaurants in the area. One day I had a real urge for a great cheeseburger. When I went there to order my cheeseburger, I saw it had American cheese, which I'm not a fan of. They had to explain to me that their American cheese was real American cheese, not fake kraft American cheese. I took a chance. I'm so glad I did. Smash burger style. The burger came with all the juices you'd want, and the cheese was fantastic. Fast forward to a sunny weekend as I was walking by and I noticed they're open for brunch. That's when I found out about Ivan's Chiliques. Complete with chorizo and avocado. Amazing! It's my go-to brunch, and my go-to dish, especially on sunny days where you can sit outside and bask in the sun here in San Francisco in the Marina. Whether you're here for a weekend morning brunch or for a weekday evening burger and beer, (or any of the other amazing dishes), Causwell's is a no-brainer five-star local restaurant. Enjoy!

    Americana Burger
    Tabitha C.

    This place is great for brunch! The menu is full of hearty options with semi-creative takes on comfort food. I'm a big fan of the banana bread grilled cheese and the biscuits and gravy. Everything is filling and feels thoughtfully done without being overly fussy. They have one of my favorite cheeseburgers in the city as well. The Americana burger is a go to every time and it never disappoints. Huge, simple, and done really well, it's the kind of burger you think about long after you've finished it. The drinks are just as memorable as the food. The espresso martini is fabulous with a subtle hint of banana that makes it unique. Their holiday cocktails around Christmastime are really nice too. As with everywhere in this area, I'd recommend making reservations ahead of time and try not to deal with parking at all if you can avoid it. The interior is on the smaller side and can get pretty loud, so sitting outside in the parklet is ideal if the weather allows. Great place for brunch on a sunny day.

    I don't normally eat fried chicken but when I do I want it to taste like their fried chicken sandwich. Not only was it juicy (not in the least bit dry) but very tasty. The 100 layer potato was crispy and oh wee was it so good. Washed it down with the best martini in SF - New Espresso Martini. This was fantastic! Service was as good as the food. This place is a keeper.

    We came a little after opening on a Saturday, and the place was already starting to fill up but we were seated quickly. I ordered the Americana burger with fries, and my husband got the brunch burger. Both were solid, high-quality burgers that were juicy and fresh. The fries were great too. Our friends ordered similarly, but one of them got the crispy onions as a side... and wow, they were delicious. I was honestly a little jealous and wish I had ordered those! (Mental note for next time I come) We all ordered cocktails and really enjoyed them. I had the espresso martini, which is on the San Francisco Chronicle's list of "Best Martinis in SF," and I completely agree! The inside of Causwells is super cute and cozy, making it a great spot to relax and enjoy a meal. Definitely a place we'd come back to!

    Came to Causwells on a Sunday afternoon in the Marina and was able to snag a cute table outside! I've heard a lot about this spot and it definitely did not disappoint. Food: Deviled Eggs (4/5): Pretty standard deviled egg... good, but nothing too crazy. Ricotta (4/5): Yummy and well balanced. The rosemary honey on top was a really nice touch. Americana Burger (5/5): GET. THE. BURGER. I totally see why people say it's one of the best burgers in SF. Super juicy, flavorful, and that special sauce!? Would come back for the burger!

    Brunch burger  Tropicana
    Candace R.

    11 years later, I came back for the brunch burger today and it didn't let me down. Stopped in for brunch on a Friday afternoon about an hour or two after they opened and got a seat immediately by the window. The staff was awesome - friendly and attentive. Their cocktail menu leaned more gin and or notes-I-don't-love, but I got the Tropicana at the servers recommendation and it was delicious. My meal came out in less than 10 minutes, hot and fresh. The burger hit the spot and was everything I remembered it to be. The vibes were great, and I was glad I decided to sit inside because the music was jammin (but not too loud). Not 5 stars only because the prices are a bit steep ($18+ cocktails, $20 burger), but if you got it or want to treat yourself, it's a great spot.

    Aptly named, The Grinch
    Elaine Y.

    Came to Causwells and really enjoyed the experience! We sat at the bar for brunch so we got a front row seat to all the festive drinks that people ordered and let me tell you, that Grinch cocktail? Delicious! It was floral, with just a touch of acidity, and I was also impressed that the pandan flavor came through. The pumpkin pie slush was a little harder to pull the nuances depending on its state but I did get the hints of apple and the miso soy milk in the beginning when it was more frozen and then when it started to melt, the roasted pumpkin was very evident. For brunch, we shared a few dishes including the smoked salmon sliders, the cochinita hash, and the butter seared banana bread. Everything was really good! For the sliders, it was the perfect ratio of bun to salmon to crème fraiche. I especially liked the chewiness of the mini homemade pretzel buns and the bite of acidity from the pickled onion. For the hash, I liked that the elements were still a good size making each bite nice and hearty. The egg was more jammy than runny, but it was still very good. The house hot sauce was also really nice! It was sweet upfront but had that nice lingering heat in the back. Last but not least, the banana bread. Yum! The whipped butter was excellent and gave a nice salty creamy contrast to the caramelized banana flavor from the fluffy loaf. This would be an instant repeat if we come back for brunch! The staff highly recommended we come back for dinner if we enjoyed brunch and I think we'll definitely consider the option. While it was a bit ironic that our drinks cost more than our entrees, they were done exceptionally well so it was worth it in my opinion. I recommend a visit if you come to the Marina!

    Irish coffee and Parmesan frozen drink
    Kafi H.

    This is such a cute restaurant. I went here with a group of 4 for some pre-dinner drinks and apps. We were adventurous with our drink selection: -Succotash: weird but in an expected way. The menu is very clear about what you're in for. - Lavender Sgroppino: basically a fancy alcoholic frozen lemonade, everything I wanted it to be! - Irish Coffee and Parmesan: this was... interesting. The base drink, basically a frozen espresso martini, was good, but the topper cheese was SOOO salty. If that's your vibe, try it! We switched out for a brut, which was lovely. The apps were excellent! We got the smoked salmon sliders and the 100 layer, both of which were well-designed and very tasty. Our waiter was excellent. Super attentive without being invasive, very fast service. And the vibe of the place is so cute. Will DEFINITELY be coming back for the full dinner!
