    Such a delicious burger. Patty is excellent, fries are tasty, and ambience is great. Not a bad choice for lunch or dinner.

    I saw this place while on a walk in the neighborhood and made mental note to stop by for lunch the next day, which was a Sunday. I did just that. I ordered a double cheeseburger with mustard, pickle and onion, because that's the way I like it. I decided to let them add lettuce and tomato. That was a nice change. The burger here was really good! It's very tall if you get a double, so get ready. I cut mine in half to make it more manageable. My dining companion ordered some fries and let me have a few of them. They were delicious with seasoned salt included. This is a great burger stand with no frills that does one thing really well. Well, I guess two things with the fries. If you have the room, try a shake too. I did not and wish I had.

    DoorDash, cheesy jack extra patty. You need to be specific with the condiments because all I received was a meat patty meat fest. Cheese meat, nothing else. Because of these there was a lack of flavor. Didn't detect salt and pepper either. The meat however was high quality and thick. Fries - meh. Milkshake - legit. Like melted buttery ice cream being squirted into your mouth legit. There are probably better DoorDash options at 12am, I'd skip this place.

    Wow, The burgers at this small hole in the wall are great and the prices are unbeatable. Service was friendly and quick. The Chocolate milkshake was excellent.

    Came here to try their burgers, got the Wedding Ring burger. The burger was great, the onion ring in the burger is crispy, but they don't offer onion rings as side. The service was good, the place looks clean and neat but smells to much chemicals, I even tasted in my mouth.

    Tried Columbus burgers for the first time. Went around 1pm and there was some people inside, but definitely not packed. I ordered a dressed back which was like a regular burger with tomato lettuce onion and etc. I got my order to go but wish I had the chance to eat inside. The atmosphere is pretty chill. The burger didn't stand out to me. Aside from being relatively clean, the staff were nice.

    Yeah, a $10 burger in SF is a hella good deal. Still, you get what you pay for -- a burger that hits the mark after a drunken night out but doesn't stand on its own against sober lips. This little joint has a straightforward menu and operates until 11pm on weekdays and 2am on weekends (a true rarity in SF!). That being said, the pictures on the menu don't match at all with what you receive after ordering, which is certainly a red flag for any burger enthusiast. The burger had a good ratio of toppings-to-sauce and tasted great. The patty was a bit small, but can't complain too much when the check was under $30 for two people. The decor is cute with US license plates adorning the walls, though most of the seating is cheap, backless metal stools (they are extremely uncomfortable to sit in for more than 5 minutes). Would I come back again? After a night of drinking in the area, for sure. Definitely worth checking out, especially if you're tightening the belt on your wallet -- but if those aren't relevant to you, I'd recommending trying another burger spot (Uncle Boy's comes to mind if you're interested!)

    O M G. This was the hole in the wall burger spot I didn't know I needed. I was craving a burger and this place looked like a hit...they did not steer me wrong! Whatever the sauce is they use was an expected flavor explosion. I was expecting something like a thousand island sauce, but it ended up being like a garlic aioli. It was sooo good with the burger. And the fries...the fries were so crispy, seasoned, and delicious. The only thing I didn't love was the bathroom was not the cleanest. I'd definitely go again, I'd just used the restroom first. Lol

    Local- well lite hole in the wall. It's really good ventilation so you don't smell the smoke and armors - which can be a factor when attracting pedestrians. Service was good. Got in and ordered quickly. The burger was good. I got the Piggy Jack with bacon. The size was large. It maintains its shape when consuming. Not much juice leak. The fries were decent but a little bit too much salt and seasoning

    Amazing place to get burgers and they are open so late which is perfect after a night out in North Beach. I got a random burger off the menu with the most toppings and it was so bomb. The fries are ordered separately and they are so hot and crispy! We escaped Kel's because it was so stuffy in there and thankfully found Columbus Burgers. Thank you for saving us

    This is the cheesy burger. It is literally a thick, cold, generic bun and unseasoned piece of beef....and cheese.

    This is like a burger from a public elementary school. This is ridiculously subpar food. There's really not much I can say besides this isn't worth paying for. You're better off just going to McDonald's or something. It's that bad. And the crinkle fries? I guess they were OK but these items tell me that these people purchased the absolute cheapest ingredients possible and take zero pride and its preparation.

    After a night of drinking and smoking cigars a full Burger was in order. Columbus Burger hit the spot with warm service and Hospitality as soon as we entered the room. I thoroughly enjoyed that the menu is limited but good. All of the ground beef is made fresh. I ordered the dress Burger and I was surprised to see he brought out fresh hamburger meat to make a Smashburger. I had onion rings on my burger and it had a homemade taste without being over pretentious. I love the crinkle cut fries that were seasoned just right this place is simple and to the point burger fries and milkshakes. The Ambiance is really casual. You can eat there or take the food to go. I definitely would come back here next time I'm in the city.

    Best burger is San Fran. Juicy cooked burger. Fresh toppings and a wonderful seeded toasted bun. Great crispy onion rings. Definite stop!!

We ordered the Signature (vegan) burger and the OG, and both were good. The grilled onions were absolutely amazing and added a lot of flavor to the burgers. My only suggestion would be to offer fresh jalapeños instead of pickled ones, as I think they would complement the burgers even better. The burgers were tasty, satisfying, and reasonably priced. We also tried the banana pudding, which was enjoyable and made for a nice sweet ending to the meal. Overall, a solid burger spot with good food, fair prices, and a clean atmosphere.

It's convenitly located on the first floor right inside the window, so you can miss it. There were a couple other food vendors down there, including a full bar, and they were playing some World Cuo matches, which was a nice touch. Making a burger choice was tough, but I went with the double OG, which did not let me down. The lace was crispy, and the flavor combination of the ingredients was perfect. It was a top smash burger in the bay, and I'd def go again if in the area.

Then there are smash burgers which has been the craze for a few years already. Then there are burgers known for their sauce like the animal style sauce at In-N-Out . Burgers in SF can get cheesy . Everybody has any reason to say it's a better burger whether it's for the purple onions, pickles , or buns. There is a place which serves the Cali Burger. On a West Portal stroll there is a burger place which sells the Cali Burger. The Cali Burger means fresher ingredients usually locally sourced in California. Calibur is the place to get an organic grass fed burger. I got the double cheese burger with Calibur sauce. It was tasty and it had great flavor along with a soft bun. The fresh grass fed cheese burger pairs well to eat with cheese fries in SF. The fries were crispy and saucy and got a bit messy. Calibur also sells chili cheese dogs along with different flavors of shake including Neapolitan. Overall a good place to fresh grass fed cheese burger on a bun. You can get organic beef that's grass "fed"with Calibur sauce "spread" and a soft fresh bun "bread"although they don't have onion rings or purple onions you can get raw with yellow onions or the onions that are "red" The organic ingredients locally grown under the California "sun" get a grass fed cheeseburger medium or well "done" take a shot with Calibur and I ain't talking about a weapon like a "gun" but get something loaded with beef and cheese on a "bun"

The woman at the counter was really friendly. I used to work retail and dealing with customers, even at the start of the shift, can wear you down pretty quick.

It came with delicious sweet corn, cabbage slaw, chipotle mayo, and a cilantro-lime crema. It's basically the flavors of elote with fried chicken and it yummy! The breading on the chicken was even and crisp. And I enjoyed the spicy-sweet flavor of the honey, which complemented the chipotle mayo. I also enjoyed the crunch from the cabbage and the softness of the flour tortilla. I paired with it the fried Brussels sprouts to get another veggie into my meal. Though I do love very charred sprouts, there was a hint of bitterness. I may have needed more lime to cut that. The jalapeño mayo was good. But I think tossing it in pork fat is the way to go with Brussels sprouts to really pump up the flavor. I'm not sure what oil they fry it in.
