    Belly Buster Burger with side of chili
    Esther G.

    Consistently solid food! Came here over 10 years ago when my husband and I started dating. I was always fond of their burgers and chili! Came back here last week and it was just as great as I remembered. My go to is the Belly Buster burger. Patties are grilled to order. No frills delicious burger. Chili is a must here. Perfect amount of seasoning with little spicy kick. Fries are also solid! It can get super busy here sometimes there's a wait. Definitely worth it!

    This is a 10-table diner and luckily they had an open table on New Year's Eve morning. We got here late enough that they also had burgers available so we ordered scrambled eggs and a classic cheeseburger. The eggs were delicious! They were soft and fluffy. Probably some of the best I've had. As I walked in, I saw them cooking the potatoes per order and these were also very good. The cheeseburger was perfectly cooked to our order, with a nice thick slab of cheese on top. The fries were thin, crispy on the outside with a soft center. This is more of a laid back place and I really enjoyed my breakfast!!

    Felt nostalgic so went back to North Beach Mo's grill for some old time memories. My family used to own the building. We had our real estate office at this location and my grandparents lived in the apartment above. Mos did a nice job with the renovations and the atmosphere was quite lively. Had the chili cheeseburger with a peroni beer. The chili had good texture and was quite tasty. Really fond memories today. Next time I will come back for breakfast.

    Clam chowder and Alpine Burger

    Came here during north beach's first Friday and was looking for a place that we can sit down for some sustenance. Cute diner vibes but the horrible experience with the service. There's only one waitress and I understand it's a Friday night and it's busy. We got our table first and set there awkwardly for a good 20 minutes before we got to order (have to physically get up to find the waitress to ask to order). Saw other groups set down after us get served first, was quite frustrated. We got the alpine burger with fries to share and each got a cup of clam chowder. It's a good diner burger with a hearty patty. The buns were a bit cold even tho it was roasted on their rotating grill. Fries were kinda just meh and bit soggy to my liking. The clam chowders were salty and kinda tasted more like potato soup. Wouldn't get that again. Overall, would come back for their burgers and breakfast when they're less busy and give the food another try. Just didn't have a great experience this time.

    Wow. Huge portions, delicious food, casual interior, and super chill weeknight dinner spot to go to. They have a rotating grill in the front of the restaurant that they grill burgers and chicken on. The caesar salad they make with the grilled chicken is the best in the city. They also do daily specials, rotating between a rack of ribs, brisket, chicken, and others. Worth trying!! Time between ordering and getting food can be slow, but it's worth it. Service is really casual, but good.

    Had to wait a bit to get seated but it was worth it. Lucky enough to sit at the small counter instead of a table which gave us a great view of the kitchen activity. Burgers were delicious. We had the Aussie burger and the cheeseburger. Come with an appetite as the burgers are big and the fries are great.

    I ordered the Friday ribs special. The food was delicious. Great staff. Cozy atmosphere. I will definitely be coming back here.

    Walking around North Beach and decided to try Mo's, knowing it's been around for quite sometime. We were curious about this "no frills" diner. We entered around 5pm. There were at least 5 other tables during this off hour, which is a good sign. We both decided to get what they're known for, BURGERS! Each 1/2 lb patty is grilled over volcanic rock. When you enter, you can see the guy in the center cooking burgers! FRENCH BURGER ~ Best burger stuffed with imported goat cheese topped with caramelized onions on a crusty bun. I wanted medium rare which when I got it, it was a bit more rare than expected, but it was still good. I didn't get sick, so it's all good! But if you're not used to a red middle, I'd go with a medium doneness. The cheese was really rich and tasty! And I also got french fries on the side. (You get a choice of french fries, cup of chili, side salad, cole slaw or a cup of soup.) 5/5 PATTY MELT ~ Burger and 2 pieces of American cheese topped with caramelized onions on sourdough bread. This burger was perfectly medium rare, but the patty was only in the middle and would fit buns rather than two pieces of sliced bread. Basically, you don't get meat on the left or right side. I think if these patties are made to order, it should fit the bread? It just isn't as good if you get bites of onions and bread without meat. If you like meat and bread together, order a hamburger instead and skip the patty melt. The chili was good and a bit more spicy than expected. 3/5 It's about $20 for each burger with a side. That's an extra $4.50 for french fries, coke slaw, side salad, cup of chili or soup. Not bad considering your plate is really full and any hungry person would be satisfied at the end. We'd definitely come back when we're in the mood for a burger!

    Breakfast burrito

    Mos grill. Man oh man. The food is top notch, servers are all funny and nice people. In such a busy and expensive city, it's nice to find a spot like mos that gives you BIG portions at reasonable prices. I've had their steak sandwich, breakfast burrito, and burgers - and I'll have all 3 again. The burrito may look gnarly (photo below) but it is so good. 3 types of meat, fresh ingredients. Also it's easily good for 2 meals

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.

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.
