    These are some really good burgers. Good size, and great taste. The only thing I would change is add more bacon but I can't blame them. Bacon isn't cheap and most places give you the same amount but the bacon here is a bit more thick than anywhere else

    Whenever I try a new burger place, I have to get their original burger as a standard, so I ordered the "All American" which is also their top seller. The patty was juicy and decently sized, the fixings (tomato, lettuce, onion) were all fresh and delicious, and the pickles, thousand island sauce, and brioche bun just brought it all together and topped it off nicely. I have to admit the bottom bun did get a little soggy at the end, but I think it was all from the juices of the patty. It's also a really good portion size for the price! For under $12 total, I couldn't finish the entire burger and I was stuffed. My friends also ordered fries and they said they were solid - nice and crispy, decent seasoning, but nothing spectacular. The place itself is easy to miss if you're not familiar with the area and the inside is fairly small (~3 tables to seat 4 people each?) but I loved the casual, no frills environment. Order at the front, sit down and self serve water, and then they bring out the food in under 10 minutes! My friends and I also stuck around just to talk for a bit after finishing our food and we never felt rushed or as if we were unwelcome to stay, which I also appreciated. Overall, I had a great experience and I'd definitely want to come back to try a different burger soon!

    Even though I didn't frequent them all that often while they were still here, for quite a while, Buzz was my go-to spot for a tasty burger on this side of SF. It wasn't amazing, nor the best value (Super Duper takes that distinction), but there was so much to like - friendly staff, plenty of parking, nary a wait, and, most importantly, the burgers were just solid. So, needless to say, it was a bummer when I passed by and saw that they were gone. Too bad I took such a long time to finally come here and check out their replacement. If I hadn't, I would've discovered that even though Buzz may be gone, Native Burger really isn't all that different! While their facade and aspects of their interior have changed (gone is the bench seating, replaced in favor of three picnic tables), not much about Native is all that different from its predecessor. The menu, in particular, might look all too familiar; like Buzz's, it also not very extensive (though it does have a few more options) and some of the burgers even bear the same name, such as the Western and Sunrise. However, their dozen or so burgers, as well as their handful of sides, sausages, salad, and loco moco, are rather appealing. What's more, they have quite a few substitute options, if needed (non-Gluten bun, Lettuce Wrap, and non-beef proteins, like Beyond, Chicken, and Turkey). -- ONION RINGS...$4.25 (https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/native-burger-san-francisco?select=CZPIXKbjXXr5f4CIbhvxsQ) These aren't the best I've had, but after not having legit onion rings in ages, I thought these were terrific! The rings were crispy, not overly battered, and were cut fairly thick. It doesn't come with dipping sauce, but they happily gave me a side of ranch for free. -- NATIVE BURGER - 7oz Harris Ranch Grass Fed Beef, 4oz Applewood Smoked "Fool's Gold" Bacon, Sunny Farms Cheddar, Lettuce, Tomato, and House BBQ Sauce on a Brioche Bun...$15.75 (https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/native-burger-san-francisco?select=oO0R4x--7xnJogswYsQQYw) More solid than spectacular, but still quite tasty! The patty was well cooked, I LOVED the bacon's salty sweetness, and everything complemented each other really well. That being said, whether it be due to the patty, the bacon, or both, the burger, as a whole, felt a little greasy. -- JR. CLASSIC BURGER & FRIES - 4oz Harris Ranch Grass Fed Beef, Sunny Farms Cheddar, Lettuce, Tomato, Red Onions, Pringle Cut Dill Pickles, and House Island Sauce on a Brioche Bun with Twice Fried Fries...$11.25 (https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/native-burger-san-francisco?select=NVxYPDZqcLlRGXo2T0LMJg) This was...pretty awesome. Not only is the burger the perfect size, but it was done so well - juicy patty, a soft, toasted bun, and fresh veggies. As for the fries, they were far better than the garlic version. All together, this feels like a terrific value for what you get! -- GARLIC FRIES...$4.50 (https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/native-burger-san-francisco?select=T-z4tiVho0kC0LNNsUox6w) Meh. These fries were also very crispy, and the portion was decent, but the taste was underwhelming. Not only was it not very garlicky/lacking in garlic, but there wasn't much else to it either - no herbs, no cheese, not much seasoning. It has potential, but disappointed as is. -- LOCO MOCO - Two Range Free Eggs, 7oz Grass Fed Harris Ranch Beef, and Housemade Gravy Over Jasmine Rice...$12.25 (https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/native-burger-san-francisco?select=GxkLRFJlOoRH5xs2s0-KcQ) Are they to blame for this one or am I for ordering it? Not surprisingly, the patties were the best part, as they were both juicy and flavorful. Everything else, other then the eggs, was a bust - the onions were mealy, the rice was hard, and the gravy was gloppy and broken. While most of what I've had has been more good than bad, the service here has been excellent all around. Every time I've stopped in, the same two guys have been working the register and grill and they've always been super friendly. They've happily given us ranch for the onion rings and garlic fries (much needed for the latter) and they're quick to greet people/say goodbye as folks come and go. Tasty burgers, friendly service, and a wealth of parking nearby? Super Duper's newest outpost is a short walk away, but it's great to know that Native is just as good as my former go-to spot!

    Always gotta be careful when you proclaim something as the "best". My only fighting words that I will kick my flip flops off for? In-N-Out. IMO, they make the best burgers in its price category. Now, if someone can sell McD fries outside, that would be a winning combo! After a nearby vet appointment, I was too lazy to drive 30 minutes to the nearest In-N-Out location. Yelp came to the rescue with Native Burger, a small, locally-owned burger joint (formerly Buzz). What sold me is that Native Burger is owned by a unicorn, an SF native so had to come and support! Unfortunately, my experience didn't align with all the raving 5 star reviews so I probably visited on an off day. And, in no way am I comparing this locally-owned business to a fast-food chain like In-N-Out. Native Burger is open for takeout, delivery, indoor dining, and outdoor dining (sidewalk and parklet). M E N U Burgers (Harris Ranch grass-fed beef patties), Sausages, Loco Moco, Salads, and Sides (fries, brussel sprouts, onion rings, etc). You can sub for a Beyond burger patty and GF bread for a surcharge. Chicken and turkey also available. Bottled drinks and beer on tap available. For the city, wallet-friendly pricing with burgers starting at $9.95. F O O D * All American Burger w/ 7 oz Harris ranch grass fed beef patty, cheddar, lettuce, tomato, red onions, pringle cut dill pickles, house Island sauce, brioche bun ($9.95): https://tinyurl.com/3hu6syec ***Requested rare. While the burger looked good with a nice seared patty, the patty (medium rare) and bun (barely toasted) were dry. After taking several bites, I lifted up the bun to find that the house island sauce was missing. I went inside and they gave me a side of the sauce which helped give the burger some moisture but TBH, it was still pretty underwhelming. * The Sunrise Burger w/ 7 oz Harris ranch grass fed beef patty, cheddar cheese, grilled onions, lettuce, tomato, free-range egg, avocado, sweet chili sauce, brioche bun ($12.75): https://tinyurl.com/2ywsunx6 ***Requested rare. ***Add extra patty (+$4.50) ***Add fool's gold bacon (+$4.75). Missing. Not my burger.

Thank you for making an unseasoned beef patty upon request! * Fried Brussel Sprouts ($6.95) To be little healthier, I ordered the brussel sprouts as a side. It was soggy and too sweet. * Fries ($3.95) Fav item! Hot, golden, and crunchy. S E R V I C E Very kind staff. Our order was brought outside to us in about 15 minutes. A M B I A N C E Casual neighborhood burger joint with an open kitchen with counter seating and picnic tables in the back. Yay for dog-friendly outdoor seating. Just bring a warm coat since there's no heat lamps. P A R K I N G Easier street and residential parking than deep into Inner Richmond. Found a space right away during primetime dinner time on a weekday. Overall, my burger and side didn't hit for me but it was probably an off day. If I'm in the area again, I would be down to give Native Burger another try in hopes to have a better experience next time!

    All American Burger

    Food: Something to note is that I don't like burgers that much, so I thought this was okay. It tastes like a burger. If you are a burger lover, this is probably the place for you, so take my review with a grain of salt. Either way, I thought that the burger looked really yummy, especially the bun. I also only had the All American Burger, so that is what I am commenting on. I just wanted to show you other burgers that my party got because I think they look good. The garlic fries taste better than they look, but I think it was a little bit sweet. Very little. I liked them, but I love fries. Service: It was okay. You pay first and then they give you your food. I don't think there is much to say about this. Ambience: We were the only ones there, but I like how the place feels and looks.

    I am not a burger person and this is definitely my favorite burger place in the city! The staff here is nice, the service is great and their burgers are fire!!! I also love their Jalapeño poppers and onion rings the most. They also have great vegetarian options, my favorite burger to order is actually their Beyond Burger because its tasty and doesn't leave you feeling too heavy after! They also serve some bottle beers here, and wine!

    Gluten free options, specifically buns?

    UPDATE ON GLUTEN-FREE OPTIONS: we offer gluten-free buns, rice and lettuce wrap.

    Is this shop halal foods too?

    We do not source halal certified foods.

    Are there any Vegan options? I'd like to find a regular spot to get a well made burger for the veggie crowd that even meet eaters would adore ?

    For vegan options, we have the Beyond Burger patties as well as a black bean chipotle pattie. We also have a Ceasar salad (not on menu).

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"
