Service was nice and prompt. I got a veggie burger with fries. The burger was plump and had lots of toppings; the fries were plentiful but bland. I think maybe they were unsalted? Tables were sticky and definitely needed to be wiped down. I wanted to like it more. read more

This restaurant is right on Haight St. it's pretty casual dining. You order at the counter, they give you a number and you wait for your food. The wait wasn't too long. We each ordered a Beyond Burger and a side of fries. The burger was delicious and love that the bread is just the right size. I could have had less pickles on mine though, they were huge slices. The fries were thin cut which is how I like them. Overall experience was great. read more

I decided to head into the city to feel a little nostalgic, and even though I don't live far from Haight Street, I somehow had never noticed Flippin Burger before. I'm so glad I did this time. The prices were surprisingly good, and the burgers were delicious--one of those meals you keep thinking about for days afterward. It was a cold night, but that didn't stop me from ordering a strawberry milkshake. After one sip, I instantly regretted not getting two... so I went back and bought the Oreo milkshake too, and it was just as amazing. The service was really nice. Even though they get busy, the staff was helpful, fast, and friendly. Flip n Burger is definitely getting added to my San Francisco food list. I'll be back the next time I'm in the area! read more

While shopping along Haight Street, we came across Flippin Burger and decided to stop in. We grabbed a couple of hot dogs and tater tots, and the food was delicious -- it had that classic, old-school hot dog taste that really hit the spot. The place was open and comfortable, not crowded at all, and the prices were reasonable (especially for San Francisco). The vibe was relaxed, the service was quick, and everything tasted fresh. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in the read more

Cute and has unique counter . There is outside sitting so you can take your furry buddies with you. A lot of regulars were talking about how good their burgers are so I think that they are consistently serving up delicious burgers. . I recommend coming here for some groovy vibes. read more

When our only meal was coffee and its 1pm, you know we were famished. We were in the area and my friend wanted to try this place so here we are. I got the Flippin burger no onions. Although the presentation was clean and simple, it reflected the on the taste as well. The meat patty was a tad dry and so was so was the burger itself. The fries were my favorite standard cut cooked to perfection. Service was great, food was mediocre. read more

We ordered the Flippin Burger with everything and a chocolate shake. The shake was really good and came out fast. The burger was cooked medium just how we asked super juicy, and all the ingredients tasted fresh and nicely put together. Solid first impression and definitely a spot we'd come back to. read more

This is a bright, rather anachronistic space on Haight Street, and we ducked in mainly to see if they had a bathroom. But the menu was inviting, and we were craving grilled cheese. We both ordered that, with fries. The sandwiches were meh, and fries were fine, but like fast food fries, nothing special. The space was bright and clean, and the service friendly. I'd consider going back and trying the beyond burger. read more

The skater theme of this place caught my eye. I love all the decor, including the VW bus front in the counter. Nice vibes. A few TVs. Nothing fancy, but well kept. My husband and I just came in here for a quick bite and to use the bathroom. Service was good. The ladies working were very nice and accommodating. Food came out quickly. I had garlic fries and my husband had a grilled cheese. Both were pretty simple. The grilled cheese is just American cheese, but it's well done for what it is. Fries were cooked perfectly and pretty garlicky. I think they use the bottled minced garlic, not fresh, but I didn't mind. It's pretty straightforward fast food, but it's done well and priced right, so can't complain! read more

We visited Flippin Burger for a quick lunch while hanging out in the area. The food was pretty good, and the prices are fair in comparison to other spots nearby. I will say that the fried chicken sandwich was alright, a bit oily and I did not like the coleslaw, but the chili cheese fries were good, and portions were good too. Customer service was quite friendly and efficient. Worth visiting if you're nearby & looking for a good-value sandwich or burger. read more

On my quest to find a good burger, this ain't it. While their garlic fries are worthwhile, the burger left too much to be desired. When it first came out, I didn't even see there was a burger patty in it. And honestly, I took me eating half the burger for me to actually hit meat. But at that point I realized that the burger actually tasted better without the meat at all. They do have one of the tastier burger sauces from all the places I've been. Look elsewhere for a perfect burger, unless you're vegetarian. read more

Great place to grab a quick affordable bite while walking around Haight Street. I had a Flippin' burger with cheese and avocado. The beef patty was very tasty and I also liked the buns. The lemonade was listed as fresh, but it tasted like Minute Maid. A popular joint, so there's wait time if crowded and it won't be easy to find a seat. Airy good vibes though, with most everyone enjoying their burgers, but they also have salads, hot dogs, fries or chicken! read more

I ordered flippin burger with fries, cheese and egg for $13.94 / not include tax and tip. Which I think is a fair pricing The burger itself was on the thin side but it was still juicy and tasty.

Food is pretty good here. I got the Finger Lickin Fried Chicken sandwich. Had a decent sized piece of chicken on it. Bun was delicious and so was the slaw. Great sandwich overall. I also had the garlic fries, which were just ok. Felt like it was missing salt and all of our garlic ended up on the bottom of the basket for some reason. I'd still get them again though. Hoping to go back soon and actually try one of their burgers. read more

Wow! Just fn WOW!!!!! So first in foremost I've spent 20+ years in hospitality... NO! F that! I alomost never leave 5***** star reviews! If I could give this place SIX I would! The guy "Sam," (if I'm not mistaken), that was working the front counter today, (Sun Oct 5), was phenomenal! As I was saying before, after so long in hospitality it doesn't take much for me to be annoyed or see something I don't like and save my few dollars and not eat or go elsewhere. That was not the case today! I told Sam that it was my first time there and simply asked him, "Hey! What do you recommend?" Without skipping a beat!!! Bro instantly turned and pointed to the burgers and was like, "HONESTLY! The burgers(.) (notice the 'PERIOD' on the end) he said it's the staple point, (obviously), but they're solid though. And then right after recommended the chicken sandwich I was looking at, that looked DELICIOUS, (I HATE CHICKEN, least favorite protein). But I randomly decided leaving goodfellas across the street after grabbing my leaves, today is the day I'm getting my burger that I've been craving! So I went with the burger. I recently been working out and cutting back on red meat tremendously, but I was like let's go with the burger and I'll come back for the sandwich. GOTTTTT DAMN!!! I wanted to CRY EATING THAT FN BURGER! I'm NOT AN INFLUENCER! But I stopped TWO BITES IN!!!! To record a potential review! No LIE! I thought I was gonna be slightly upset because I wanted one ingredient a certain way, that Sam was NICE ENOUGH to EXPLAIN TO ME.... WHY that may not be possible. I told him don't trip, run it! Well F ME! I SEE WHY! However they prepare it... hands off UNLESS YOU HAVE AN ALLERGY! TRUST ME! I was not looking forward to lettuce and tomato on my burger, (I just didn't see it, I didn't mind I love it, HELL HE MAY'VE even asked if it was fine and I was like yea. I ain't denying it. Plus I didn't wrap my leaf yet), but I'm glad it was there!!!! I almost bit a finger off eating that burger!!!! The BEST FN BURGER I'VE HAD. I can't remember one better than that! I can't! WTF!!! I'm mad that I didn't eat it right there, I'm mad I didn't get to it quicker when I did get home and took my time with some of the fries, (I just remembered I had). I'm really mad that I live so close! But dayum!!! Oh! And the young lady working with him was very sweet and attentive! Those are two individuals I would remember and hire in my establishment! Then I forgot the motivating factor for me going there was the fries I almost forgot to order. A friend and I was walking in the park one day to two young ladies sharing some tots, (after seeing the menu), I believe. And they smelled delicious from STEPS AWAY and looked just as good! So I'm looking forward to going back and trying the sandwich WITH the tots! Sam Great Job! And smooth upsell on the fries! Cause I would've been upset if forgot to order them. Even though I barely ate em, (YET!) OHHH!!!! I got two patties, Swiss, bacon, mushrooms. Just as it is! read more

Wanted to grab food before going to the California Academy of Sciences and this spot wasn't too far away! It's in a nice cozy neighborhood with a lot of cute small businesses and a surprising amount of vegetarian restaurants. Prices haven't gone up in a while which was a nice detail and the restaurant is a fun casual family environment (they were playing Nickelodeon on the TV). Ordered a flippin burger and yaya's loaded tater tots. The burger was all right, a classic staple, but what I enjoyed the most was the tater tots. Huge portion, flavorful toppings, and could honestly be a meal on its own. Restroom was unfortunately out of order but hopefully that should get fixed soon. I also want to try their hot dogs / Philly cheesesteaks next time, a lot of different options! Service was great, staff was super nice and they let me try their different sauces which were really complementary to the meal. read more

They advertise a $7.00 Burger, which intrigued me. But when I found it was a 1/4 lb., I said Meh and that's w/o cheese, which is extra. I understand fries are extra as well. So I chose the Fried Chicken Sandwich $9.95. Chicken was huge and fell out all over the bun. Or rather the bun wasn't big enough to contain the chicken. I asked for extra Aioli on the side as it was truly flavorless. And way too much slaw. I never saw the Swiss Cheese. And frankly, the slaw should just be served on the side. The fries were good and more than plentiful @ $3.95. The service was good and the place was immaculate, for that I give them 5 * Decent prices compared to many other places in the Haight. Maybe I will go back and try one of the burgers. Just wish they did combo's, Sandwich and fries. read more

I'm not a religious man, with that said... thAnk you jeEeZZzus for this place. The buffalo chicken sandwich is beyond flavorful and as always, the fries... well... crispy, never soggy. The garlic fries are never overcooked or burnt. They are simply delicious. Every member of the team smiles and greets folks as they walk in and do what they can to enhance the dining experience of their guests. It is easy to see that they enjoy being there and taking care of others. Aside from the food being awesome, and the staff being equally as great, the restaurant's vibe is so chill it makes it a great place to unwind and have a beer with some tasty food after a long days work by yourself, or even better, with a group of friends.

10/10 burgers and quick service! It's located right across the panhandle and around the neighborhood on Haight so easy to walk to for a good local burger. Garlic fries were crisp and tasty, the ingredients in the burgers were nice fresh, and juicy. Excited to come back and try the chicken sandwich and shakes. The only thing is that I ordered an extra patty which was phenomenal but my girlfriend who added on bacon only got 2-3 small thin slices of bacon. It's up charge for the extra patty was less than adding on bacon, so I would think they would add on a few more slices. But they were great regardless! The place got a cool skater, local CA burger joint style to it. Wished they could've wiped down the tables after people finished up. Itd be nice for restaurants to mind covid practices or at least be sanitary. Nice big windows to see the neighborhood walk past though. read more

The faux front of a VW bus is fun. The food is OK, if expensive, if not terribly expensive considering the mainly tourist clientele and this place's off-brand, off-kilter location. I was going to give it two more tries; but then I needed to move unexpectedly, pushing me too far away realistically to come here regularly and easily and, thus, obviating the need for those two more tries. But I had it in the back of my mind the first time I came. That it would get more tries and that that first time would be the first of at least three before I gave the place an honest Yelping. The shakes are very good. The fries should be better, but they're not bad. Why is this place here again? Who knows, and somehow, it has survived. The interior is cheerful and bright, if not downright fun, even at night. And on Haight Street, that takes quite some doing. The food came out way faster than I expected it to, and the two people I dealt with were very friendly. read more

Smish Smash

"Smish Smash I was taking a bath, long about a Wednesday night, yeah!!!" Okay I'm no Bobby Darin,…read morebut I am quite the aspiring burger aficionado and the smash burgers being handcrafted at Smish Smash are some of the best and most affordable in the entire city of San Francisco! And when Food & Wine Magazine calls this burger one of the most exciting in the U.S., I for one was implored to take notice and visit! Located on the first floor of Saluhall on Market Street in downtown San Francisco next to the IKEA store, Smish Smash started as a pop-up six years ago by owners Am y Han and Victor Donado. Just last year they opened their first stand-alone location on the first floor of Saluhall, which to be quite honest has struggled to keep their other vendors open. Thankfully, Smish Smash has had the benefit of being on the first floor with a view of Market Street, not to mention a great word of mouth thanks to their exceptional smashed burgers that has not only many burger lovers coming in, but quite the number of delivery drivers coming in to pick up burger orders galore. What brought me here to Smish Smash was the fact that a friend and I had theatre tickets at the nearby Golden Gate Theatre and we decided that we needed something quick and delicious before we walked back to the theatre to sit for almost three hours of a show. They suggested that we try this amazing and fun burger concept that was garnering significant buzz and so meeting up at Saluhall was the way to go as they had complimentary WiFi access and plenty of clean and open seating. The menu at Smish Smash is of course filled with burger options with no fewer than seven on their regular menu and a rotating special menu items including items with chili on them including fries, hot dog, and chili in a bowl, not to mention a couple of extra burgers to boot. Each of their burgers on their regular menu has the option of ordering it as a single or double smash burger. Since it was my first time, I ordered a single version of their Cheeseboiga, which had yellow American cheese, pickles, caramelized onions, and mac sauce. My dining mate ordered a single version of their Wow Burger which was topped with white American cheese, grilled onions, pickles, and s2 sauce, which is a combination of mayonnaise and relish, with an order of a side of Curly Fries which were cooked in beef tallow, our total bill was 33 dollars before taxes and gratuity were added in. It wouldn't take too long for our order to be custom made by their team and we enjoyed every last bite while sitting at their communal dining inside the Saluhall. The most noticeable thing that I noticed about the smash burgers at Smish Smash was the fact how thin their smashed burgers were, almost paper like thinness, which made for a unique dining experience. But what was lacking in overall heft of the burger was more than made up in terms of overall juiciness and flavor of my overall burger, of which came out clear on the grease and flavor on my fingertips as I ate every last bite. So good was my experience at Smish Smash that a return visit mere a couple of months later was in order when I attended a show at the nearby Orpheum Theatre. With complimentary WiFi and water available to customers, this time I ordered their Smish Smash Special which was their Dac Biet smash burger which was their signature grass-fed smashed beef topped with white American cheese, sliced onions, jalapeños, cilantro, Thai basil, alfalfa sprouts, lime and pho aioli. This particular smash burger, which cost 16 dollars, was a little on the healthier side as the sprouts, onions, and cilantro overpowered everything, but the flavor profile did make it feel as if I was enjoying a bowl filled with pho noodles with all the fixings. I appreciate what Smish Smash is trying to do, as an up and coming entrepreneurial business from pop-up to permanent business in an area that could seriously use the support, I am all in with what Smish Smash is offering up on a daily basis, good affordable trendy smash burgers that makes burger lovers coming back for more and then some!

Food also came out just as quickly. I hope they add more food spots in this food hall! Ambiance is modern, clean. (And there's a Photo Booth!) we will be back!!!

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!

Have a small happy hour 3-5pm. Pros: - Food is decent. Burger was a strong 4/5 (though i asked for my onions grilled, and they were sadly raw and difficult to pull off). Salad with sunchokes and citrus was a nice bit of roughage, nice bitterness in the lettuces. - Banana bread 'grilled cheese' is an epiphany. Must try. - Cocktails were fun & IGworthy. - Vibes & location feel so perfect on a sunny afternoon. Cons: - 1 bathroom stall, can only imagine how rough this gets when during a busy dinner service. - Service was friendly, but often multiple asks for the same item, and long waits between check ins. Overall, a decent spot in an area flush with choice. Probably more of a 3.5 than a 4, but well round up here!

The bagels - extremely good, New York level bagels. They're rip and dip (like Pop Up Bagels in NYC) which I'm a huge fan of. Got the salt bagel, eggything (egg everything), and pumpernickel with scallion cream cheese. The cream cheese is incredible, super rich and kind of buttery. The eggything was really fluffy and definitely my favorite of the three, with plain salt a close second. I liked that it wasn't extremely salty. At night, we did have to wait but it was only 30 minutes for a party of five, and there are nice waiting areas to stay in the meantime or you can walk around Richmond. We sat inside but the outdoor seating looked nice so I definitely want to try that again on a nice day. Got the blood orange soda, which was refreshing and sweeter than the bottled ones you'd get at Trader Joe's. We shared two pizzas between 5 people which was plenty, they're Detroit style so pretty thick. The vodka margherita was pretty good but my favorite was the Sausage and peppers, which has these really cute spherical peppers that looked like cherry tomatoes at first, and is topped off with a creamy sauce on top. We also got a side of ranch which was very dill forward, it paired well with both pizzas.

I've never known about Louie's Original, and was surprised by the amazing down to earth welcoming vibe - it definitely feels like it could be a neighborhood staple. The service was friendly and fast, and our buzzer went of not too long after we placed out order. The Big Louie is definitely big - the buns were nice and fluffy, with heavy juicy burgers and the white cheddar went perfectly with the secret sauce. But surprisingly the stand out was the onion rings - the waffle fries were great too, but I'm not sure what they did to the onion rings they're umami, almost dashi or furikake-esque, and with a perfect crispy batter that doesn't get soggy or fall all off the onion, and the onion inside was perfect, like a soft simmered onion thats sweet and still has just enough firmness without being sharp. I'm glad I found Louie's original, and I'll definitely be back for those onion rings and maybe a little louie next time :)

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"

Not sure if the cashier was not paying attention or if it was too big of an order, but a few of our burgers were messed up and missing things that we requested like grilled onions instead of raw and pickles. The burger was manageable. Although the sauces came on the side, the fries were cooked well. As we were eating, a line started to form. But instead of acknowledging them, a guy came out from the back with his hoodie on and focused on packing to-go orders. When he was done, we greeted them at the cashier. He did not look happy at all. It was a good try and it was my fiancee's fave spot once upon a time, but i don't understand what's so good about this place.

I love their big menus, the "big wordings", colorful deco, and there are lots of seatings in the inside/outside. I always order my usual, the Cali chicken without red onions and Jack cheese. I find it more healthier than the gourmet burgers that they have on the menu. The staff are always welcoming and friendly. They take their time to explain their menu and special. Their all gender bathrooms are always clean and the communal handwashing station are outside of the bathrooms.
