Seriously one of the best burgers I've had! They welcomed us in even though it was close to closing time. We stumbled upon this gem accidentally. It's small but hopefully one day they can expand their size because man, oh man, the burgers are tasty! They treated us well even though, like I said, it was close to closing time and even threw some free fries. Very nice people. We felt welcome. The burger was a perfect balance of meat, toppings and bun. Super juicy too! Thanks for making our bellies happy read more

Hamburgers - Perfect burger! - Burgers Near Me - Sausalito, California

Ya know when you see a hole in the wall and you think you found a great spot. This is not it. It has the right look, old, small, a little smelly. But the burger is bland. The worst part. Yes it's good you have gloves on, but if you touch CASH and then use those same gloves to handle MY BURGER, then what is the point. You should not be in business if you cannot even prevent cross contamination, this is basic stuff. I will actively tell everyone I know to stay far away from here read more

A rotating open-flame grill, a thicker real beef patty, and one of the most interesting burgers in Marin County. In a Bay Area scene dominated by flat-tops and smashburgers, Hamburgers in Sausalito is one of the few places built around a piece of equipment you almost never see anymore: A rotating open-flame grill - gas-fired, true flame contact, and absolutely not a gimmick. This grill isn't decoration. It's the core technology that defines how this burger tastes. THE GRILL - Why the rotating design actually matters Most "charbroiled" burgers today touch no real flame. This one does. And the rotating carousel grill changes the cooking physics in four major ways: 1. Even heat exposure The patty circulates through different temperature zones, preventing hot-spot burning and creating a thin, consistent crust. 2. Natural self-basting Rotation redistributes juices instead of losing them to one side. The result: moist but not greasy. 3. Clean flame char Edges pass the flame line for milliseconds at a time bright, clean smokiness, not bitterness. 4. High-output speed Multiple patties cook simultaneously. This is why the line looks long but moves fast. For Sausalito, that's rare. This grill is one of the last of its kind in the Bay Area. THE PATTY - Thicker than expected, cooked to your spec This is not a thin patty. This is a classic American grind with enough structure and fat that the cook actually asks: "How would you like it done?" That tells you everything about the raw material. I went with their recommended doneness. The texture reminded me of an Irish pub burger - the kind with enough heft to stand upright, juicy in the center, but not so rare that it feels risky. Hamburgers doesn't serve it that rare, but the spirit is similar: * dense, structured beef * a tender center instead of a grainy one * a fire-formed crust instead of a greasy sear For a tiny counter shop, the quality is shockingly high. THE PINEAPPLE - This is the upgrade. Pay the extra. This isn't optional. Here's why the grilled pineapple works (and this is flavor science, not opinion): 1. Maillard + caramelization = deeper browning Beef gives you Maillard. Pineapple gives you caramelized sugars. Together a far richer crust profile. 2. Natural acidity cuts fat Prevents palate fatigue and resets the flavor every bite. 3. Fruit esters lift the entire burger Grilled pineapple retains volatile aromatics that slice through smoke and beef. This is the same reason a pastor taco absolutely needs that one slice of pineapple. It unlocks everything. Once you eat the pineapple version, the regular cheeseburger feels incomplete. SERVICE & THROUGHPUT - Friendly, efficient, unexpectedly fast Despite the line outside, the wait is much shorter than it looks. The rotating grill acts like a production line: * predictable heat * steady rhythm * no dead zones on the grate * multiple patties cooking at once The staff is warm, human, and incredibly efficient. They run an entire burger operation in a space the size of a walk-in closet and still manage to smile at customers. That alone is worth acknowledging in Sausalito. If you're searching for: * best burgers in Sausalito * Bay Area open-flame burgers * charbroiled burger near San Francisco * Marin County burger spots * rotating grill burger * Sausalito fast casual lunch * old-school fire-grilled burgers Hamburgers is absolutely worth the stop. A real flame. A real patty. A shockingly effective grill. And a slice of grilled pineapple that changes the entire architecture of the burger. 4 stars - earned by fire, not marketing. - Dr. C Only writing for what truly earns the stars. read more

Roaming around Sausalito- needing lunch that wouldn't break the bank before Muir Woods and found this place. Steady busy but the 2 ladies behind the counter were taking orders, cooking, prepping, and taking payments were on it! Place is small with a few tables in the back- park across the street served nicely for a burger lunch by the water. Burgers tasted like backyard burgers. Delicious! The fries were fresh. Did not order the burritos but they looked huge! Nice place for a family friendly stop! Thank you! read more

As you walk by, your eyes will inevitably catch on the rotating grill where the burger patties are being cooked. However, that's where the novelty ends as the food itself is pedestrian and unremarkable. A solid burger cooked to medium, topped with standard veggies like lettuce and tomato, if you're looking for a quick bite not a bad option. Do note their burgers are on the pricier side, $13 for a regular sized burger that's only marginally better than would you'd find at any other fast food chain. It may be a better option to just go to one of the various seaside restaurants to get better food with a view. read more

The patty was thick and just the right amount of juicy. It wasn't a particularly memorable burger but it was still yummy. Fries were the perfect fluffy potato-y texture that was still crispy on the outside, although they honestly just tasted like Ore Ida crinkle cut fries to me. read more

Hamburgers - Cheeseburger - Burgers Near Me - Sausalito, California

Best place to get a burger! This was our first time visiting Sausalito and we happened to walk by while looking for a place to eat. It is so cool to see the grill by the window with your burger cooking. My husband and I got a Hawaiian burger, Cheeseburger, and shared a fry. Both burgers were AMAZING!! The burgers had great flavor and the fries were crisped to perfection! I liked that the they use very fresh ingredients and that it is not greasy. I am very picky about hamburgers so for me to eat the whole burger says a lot! I am glad that my husband and I stopped in for lunch! Highly recommend this place for a great burger! read more

Dear Hamburger new Owners I've been a loyal customer for years, and my wife and I have always loved your burgers. The thick patties, the generous portions, and those delicious sesame buns made your place a standout. Unfortunately, I've noticed since the recent change in ownership that the dining experience has shifted. The burgers are now smaller; the patties aren't as thick. The sesame buns that we used to enjoy have been swapped out for plain ones that sadly taste a bit stale. I wanted to share this feedback because we truly miss the quality that made your restaurant a favorite of ours. We hope you might consider returning to the original recipe and the standard of excellence that set you apart. Thanks for listening, and we look forward to seeing those amazing burgers make a comeback! read more

Absolutely the worst hamburger, I've ever had! tasteless and dried out. Honestly, couldn't be worse. Instead of being served with a side of fries it should be served with a hammer cause you'll need a hammer to pound that burger down your throat. read more

Oh darn! Finally tried this place after years of watching the rotating grill. Two strikes. Frozen french fries and frozen hamburger meat. If that's all you do...why not do it right? 1 burger and 1 fry = $20. Insulting for the quality. read more

First for people saying it's pricey, this is a tourist town! Everything is overpriced! But this is the best value! Basically no seating, but across the street are free open seats for anyone. Take your food there. Burger was good quality, cooked fresh. Veggie burrito was very good as well. Skip the fries. read more

I usually don't buy food from this place because it's so expensive, however their burgers are very big size so if you have a friend to share you will be ok. we ordered 3 burgers and 1 fries and it came to $60 something, crazy bay area price :( read more

Attention is very good, while the location is narrow with few seats and tables. If the party is greater than two I recommend taking the order carry out and seat in one of Sausalito amazing views of the SF bay and the Pacific Ocean. The hamburgers and fries were amazing, although I would use a softer bun. read more

Amazing style of cooking the burgers and the flavor of the meat is incredible! Don't expect to eat inside...go sit by the docks and enjoy the weather! read more

Pretty decent burger. Expensive for the hole in a wall kind of place that it is. Easily shareable. After ordering fries, the cost was comparable to going to Le Garage, Buckeye, or any other place with actual table service and booze menu. Flavor delivered, but I'd rather sit down and have a $21 burger that includes fries vs Ala cart next time. read more

Bro ong this place is tuff as fuck. my whole ass extended family and i were doing a sight seeing mission in SF cuz they never been to the bay, and we stopped in sausalito to eat here and holy fucking shit these burgers were tuff. there were damn near 20 of us and i felt bad for the dude taking our order but these came out hella fast. The burgers were seasoned to perfection and cooked all the way but still juicy and had just the right amount of toppings. The place is hella chill too it's just a hole in the wall with some outdoor seating to look at the north bay. If u r in the area this place won't disappoint and it will leave u begging for more no cap. The fries r tuff too crunchy and fluffy inside. read more

Stopped here on our way back on a tour from Muir Woods National Park because it was recommended to us by our tour guide! The place had a very hole in the wall atmosphere, but it very crammed, like 4 tables total, not a whole lot of wiggle room. However the food was delicious, plus it came out quick, and workers were very helpful in accommodating my food allergies. Not a bucket list place or a must go, but definitely good! (A little on the pricey side, $40 for 2 people...) read more

Hamburgers - Burgers Near Me - Sausalito, California

Sometimes in life you just want a basic, simple burger. Nothing fancy, no truffles or fried eggs or psychotropic peppers, just some meat and maybe cheese on a bun. Well , This is the place for just that. Hamburgers on Bridgeway keeps it super simple. You order either a hamburger or a cheeseburger and the you pick from any (or all) of the several condiment choices on offer. That's it. Then you enjoy your damn fine burger. OK there are a couple of house special burgers like the Picante ( poblano peppers, salsa, avocado & cheese) and a Hawaiian ( pineapple and bacon?) and, oddly enough you can actually order a burrito! But, I digress. Otherwise the menu is quite small and specialized. The burgers are cooked on a rotating grill rather than a griddle so the have a more of a "beach bbq" flavor to them and the buns are locally sourced and quite soft and pillowy. One of the best things about these burgers really, is that they cooked them to mid-rare or close to it. None of this "cooking them to death" that almost everyone does these days. This kind of place is a vanishing style. Enjoy it while you still can :-) read more

please please please do delivery. I'm a local and would order all the time. great burgers, great fries.

Really good hot dogs and burgers! Limited seating so be prepared to stand and eat. It's more of a self serve place but the staff is polite

This place was so good!! Came here on a long weekend and it was quite busy (around 1:30 PM) , but we got our orders in and it was ready within 15-20 mins. No place to sit inside, but there are a few tables outside the shop and also lots of benches and park space around downtown! This is a super casual spot but the burgers are incredible I ordered the BBQ chicken burger and the meat was so well seasoned and juicy. The bun is also big and fluffy, which I loved. Plus freshly cut fries that were literally so delicious (probably some of the best fries I've had). Love this place!! read more

Great place if you're looking for something that's more casual. There's a limited menu which I appreciate. Pros: -hamburgers are huge! They will definitely fill you up -I ordered the Hawaiian burger and it was both sweet and savory -there are two small tables outside, but you could probably just walk across the street and eat your food with a better view Cons: -it was a little confusing to know when your order was ready since I never heard them call out numbers for the two or three people ahead of me. However, you can see them make the hamburgers in the window so I knew when they grilled my pineapple that my order was almost ready Overall, if you want a solid hamburger type of meal, this is a good choice. read more

Hamburgers - Outside. There were two small tables with two chairs each. - Burgers Near Me - Sausalito, California

Burgers were so dry, we ordered 2 Hawaiian burgers and they don't come with cheese. Fries are $6.50 extra and they're frozen so not much flavor. Same with the burgers no seasoning or anything. We paid a total of $50 which is extremely expensive for untasted food. NEVER AGAIN. DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND SAVE YOUR MONEY!!! read more

Pricey but at least I got my money's worth. If you pace yourself you can make it two meals with one of these things. Pretty tasty, too.

Nothing that makes me want to come back... no flavor... great staff, but for $21 + I'll be at in&out or even Macdonalds.... really it's that.... blahhhh read more

This was a great little spot to stop into and buy something cool and sweet. Most of the shops on this Sausalito stroll are extraordinarily touristy and the restaurants (and their outdoor areas) were full to the brim around lunch time. Enter in Hamburgers Sausalito. The honey was feeling too hot after wandering around in the sun for a bit too long, so we stopped in for some icy cold sugar teas to help with the heat. The prices were great for the area and it was easy to just come in and pick something up. All in all, the service was friendly and fast and we'd definitely return if we're ever in Sausalito again. read more

Yummiest burgers ever! Reminded me of a place I frequented as a child growing yo in NY!

The burgers here are amazing the bread they use hits different. You can see them cooking the Pattie's on circular grill nice size patty. It's a regular burger with great taste the freshness of the meat is on point. It's worth the wait it can get pretty busy for lunch read more

Hamburgers - Lunch time - Burgers Near Me - Sausalito, California

I've been a couple times here and always loved the burger. However yesterday I had a terrible experience, and I want to report it because I am pretty sure that it is not what the owner expects to offer for the customers. I made my order of two burgers, and by any mistake of the employees the second was skipped. I understand that things like this might happen, and I usually am tolerant with that. The problem was the cashier's behavior being extremely rude - actually he was rude since the beginning with me and a couple of other people as well - and not working to get the problem solved as soon as possible. He put me back at the end of the line, and when the second burger was ready - adding things I asked to not add -, the first burger was cold. As I just wanted to get out of there, I got the hot and cold burgers and left, swearing that I will never be back. Terrible service. Made my day worse. I don't recommend this place anymore. read more

It looks good. It tastes good. It was fun watching the patty on the grill go round and round. The ladies were super nice. I got the jack cheese burger with the fixings. This reminds me of the commercial of carls jr (long ago, a sexy lady eating hamburger and the juice dripped on her top). The juice with mustard dripped on the ground. Messy burger is a good burger. Hugh. Must be quarter or half pounder. Great grill taste. But....after an hour my cohort and i was super thirsty!. MSG in the burger? Don't know but i hate the thirsty feeling. Just wondering if anyone has thd same experience. Other than the thirst, this would have been the best burger. read more

I have procrastinated getting all my reviews done for a while. We visited a while back while on vacation to San Francisco. We had asked for some great local places to try and were told to go find the Hamburger place in Sausalito. We made the Ferry ride over and then walked to find our Lunch. I must say the overall experience was great. There was a line but all great places have a line. We ordered the #2 and #4 with a side of fries and sodas. The place is TINY and busy but we were able to get a seat at one of the 3 tables in the back. It was one of the best hamburgers I have ever had and was a fun experience too. I highly recommend everyone visit this spot for a burger....well unless your are a vegetarian! read more

Was really hungry and craving burgers and found this cute place while walking with my family here in Sausalito. The place is tiny and I absolutely adore it (although it's kind of hard to maneuver when it's pretty busy, in which it was not when we ordered). I ordered a cheeseburger ($11.00) while my family ordered the Hawaiian burgers ($11.50 each) and they were decent at best. When we opened the wrappers they were messy, and keep in mind we opened it right after we got them. We also got 2 orders of french fries and it was kind of cold when we ate some while walking to our car. The thing that irked me most was that when we were talking with the staff, they seemed a bit sassy and rude, but I want to just assume they were having a bad day. But right after we ordered, there was another party who came in and from what I heard them say, the employee was going to give them the Hawaiian burgers for $11 instead of $11.50. And here's the thing: we were one of the only Asian families in the area during this time and both the staff and customer are Hispanic. I'd like to assume that they were doing that because they know each other, but maybe not. Food is 3/5, pretty pricey Friendliness: 2/5 Overall vibe: 2/5 I'd like to assume that they were not having a good day and that's why the food and staff were like that/acting the way they did. But this experience kind of ruined my appetite and what I think of this place now. read more

Best burger ever! Obviously fresh ground meat, perfectly seasoned. Delicious crinkle fries. Friendly , fast service. The fast service is as great as we had plenty of time to eat and catch the ferry.
