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).

Friend said, it was "fine" but we later realized that the added bacon was missing. =( * Unseasoned Beef Patty aka Pup Patty: ($4.50): https://tinyurl.com/bxxv3was Post vet visit treat! 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!

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!

It's been a few hours since I had a Classic Native Burger with twice fried fries, and I'm still full! Now that's a sign of a good burger! The Classic is a straight up traditional style burger with a 7oz Harris Ranch patty, Cheddar, lettuce, tomato, red onion, pickle, and thousand island sauce. It's an excellent representation of the American classic - but with a lot of meat. If you sit at the counter, you can watch them fry up the burgers and expertly assemble them to be picture perfect. The twice fried fries are excellent - nice and crisp! Service is very friendly - Andrew the co-owner was exceptionally friendly and chatty while I sat at the bar and watched him work. Highly recommended! read more

Delicious burger in a hole in the wall place! I had the Sunrise Burger and shared fries with my partner and both were delicious. I'm not a tomato fan so I did get mine without it, though I'm sure it would've been delicious for all you tomato fans. A few notes about the burger: The meat is so juicy and cooked well on a flat top The egg is nice and runny They include a TON of avocado which i very much appreciated And the brioche bun is nice and toasty and key to the burger itself The fries themselves were crispy and soft in the middle. Very solid fries. Overall a great burger spot and very decently priced. Will definitely be back! read more

Texan visitor here trying out some Harris Ranch beef burgers. I first noticed the soft burger buns. I liked how the beef patties were not heavily seasoned, but still tasty. The toppings were fresh. The beef wasn't juicy due to lacking some fat (which could be a good or bad thing). It wasn't the best burger I've had, but it was pretty satisfying and I felt wholesome after devouring it. The only downfall of this place was the single cook on the grill, making the wait time long. read more

Perfectly average. Was craving a burger and saw this place had lots of starts and good reviews. First off the restaurant is on a really busy street and parking is horrible. It's really hard to even get to the restaurant and you're likely to miss it. There are two tables and chairs outside which are on the curb. If someone rolled down their window they could steal your burger. When my friend and I went the seats where taken and people where happily eating. I got the southwestern burger but with chicken. The chicken was very dry and the bacon wasn't crisp. The bbq sauce on it was nice and sweet very flavorful. The bun was equally as average. My burger got a 2 stars. My friend got the egg burger with Avocado and it looked amazing. The egg was runny to everyone's delight. The burger looked amazing it tasted average. What really made this place stand out was the fries. I got the normal fries called 'twice fries' and my friend got the sweet potato fries. They where crunchy yet soft and flavorful and not overly salty. That was the restaurants only saving grace. Overall average. Wouldn't go again and wouldn't recommend unless you just want fries. read more

Burger (The northerner) was great--lots of mushrooms, if you're into that. The portion of garlic fries was pretty small. There are no fountain drinks, just canned or bottled. The sitting area is very small and feels kinda sketch (feels like a dark alley), but it's fine. Staff is the type to slap food down and not smile, if you're into that. read more

I've been on a search for a regular, good ole burger without all the frills and foofy stuff places do nowadays. Thank goodness for native burger. I ordered the classic with bacon and couldn't be happier. The burger was seasoned well, cooked perfectly, and the bun complemented it to hold everything together. Throw on some lettuce, tomatoes, and onion...and you've got yourself a real burger. Woot woot! Added on some fries and couldn't be happier. Now if you are into all that foofyness, they can surely help you out also. Fool's gold bacon which is probably the equivalent of millionaire bacon? Yeah, you can add that to your burger if you're into sweet bacon. Otherwise, wait times weren't an issue and our food came out piping hot. A solid 5 stars for an above average yet just your average burger. read more

Great burger. Good service. But I felt way too full and couldn't finish what I ordered. I got the "Northern" which has mushrooms, fried onions, Swiss and mayo. It was pink and juicy and very good. Opted for the fried Brussel sprouts rather than fries or rings (the rings smell great -- you can smell them from across the street). It was a two person portion and drizzled with tasty sauce. Definitely get these! Only canned and bottled soft drinks. read more

4.5 STARS On the way home from work, the roommate and I decided to grab burgers for dinner. Remembering I've been meaning to try Native Burger, we stopped by on Tuesday, February 20th a little before 6pm to place a takeout order. It was rather quick as we didn't have to wait long for our food. *Hot Link ($5.75) *The Classic: lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, cheddar cheese, sauce ($8.95) *The Southwestern: roasted jalapenos, tomato, pepper jack, ranch ($9.75) They didn't ask how we wanted our burgers cooked, but they were the perfect medium rare. The meat was tender and moist. Though my only complaint would be the meat was a touch chewy. I got the classic and devoured the whole thing. If I wasn't off of deep fried foods, we would have ordered fries. Instead we decided to try a sausage. It was your average hot link. It's just served on a bun, so nothing really special about it. It's rare the roommate wants to come back to a new spot. But he said we should come back when I can eat deep fried foods again. He enjoyed the burger that much. Rounding up to 5 stars just for that. read more

We came here the day after Thanksgiving - "Let the gluttony continue" is our motto. To split we ordered the classic burger and added the extra thick candied bacon. Also brussels sprouts and onion Rings (the fries did look good though) You order at the register and we sat at the counter. I would like purse hooks at the counter. We watched the two cooks prepare our meal - the sprouts are deep fried and delicious, not sure if it counts as a serving of vegetables. The onion rings are the battered (not breaded) kind, and I was pleased that the side and the burger came up nearly simultaneously (I don't like it when the sides come up first) My only other complaint besides the lack of purse hooks, was that the buns were too dense for the burger, and fell apart halfway though. My preference would have been for a good quality sesame seed bun crisped on the grill. (ask for a side of BBQ sauce for your onion rings!) read more

Came by for lunch one day. It looks new, but wasn't there a burger place here before? Order is right at the entrance, which is good for stopping people from snatching a table first and taking up unnecessary room. Their menu is pretty straight forward, so it should be easy to make a decision (coming from an indecisive person like me...). My friend got a brat and the Brussels. The hot dog looked skimpy - they cut it in half and just throw it on a bun. So you're basically adding your own mustard and ketchup, with nothing else. It was mostly bun as well. Brussels were pretty good, and probably why everyone seemed to order them. They were nicely crispy, and a hint of sweet. Western Burger, I ordered medium rare...and it came out well done. I'm pretty used to burgers not being the temp I ordered it, but this was a little far. Since I waited a good 15 minutes for this burger to come out, I opted to eat it rather than tell them to refire it. Lunch time pains. The burger was okay, it probably could have used a stronger seasoning on the meats. Mushrooms and onions were nicely done. Garlic fries weren't very garlicky, but good garlic fries unless you go get the ballpark fries. I ended up throwing away most of the fries. I saw someone throw out all their sweet potato fries. Service was okay. They don't ask you your name, but maybe that's because we used credit cards and they can see our names. There's no numbering, so when the food is ready, a staff person walks down calling a name. It works when it's slow, but I saw they got backed up pretty quickly during the lunch rush. I think I'm at a 3 right now.Both based on the burger cook level, and the fact that I saw a couple tables get their food before I got mine (and I ordered first...). Might come back and try it again. It IS a lot of food, so be careful if you're heading back to the office after eating here! read more

Totally surprised by how GOOD this burger was and let me add, there was nothing "Jr." about it! Super delish 4 oz patty, fresh green leaf lettuce, juicy tomato, really tasty cheddar cheese, some yummy sauce on a brioche bun! Outstanding! The fries were also killer.

The burger was just ok to me. The burger patty seemed a bit dry & was exacerbated by the fact that there was no sauce/mayo on the bun (when I lifted the bun to take a look, there was literally only a quarter-sized splotch of sauce!). A lot more of the sauce would have made a much happier burger for me. We tried both the Westerner & All American with the same feedback. The onion rings & fries were delicious though! read more

Wow I love this place. I came in today and I was kinda shocked it was empty. The menu is limited but the food is amazing. Staff are all extremely helpful and nice and I was impressed from the moment I walked in the door. It kind of had that Oklahoma feel to it in a subtle way which I miss. I wanted to try like everything lol and yes I ordered the sprouts, fried creamed corn (oh so good), and my friend had the fries extra crispy. I wasn't sure I wanted too much meat and wanted to try the western but also wanted to try the veggie burger so I split the difference. A-MA-ZING! My friend had the mushroom n Swiss burger and loved it too. I'll be back for sure. I actually felt guilty for not bringing my fiancé lol. He would have loved the place but he was at work. So next time he will have to come with. It's a new spot and us Yelpers need to give it more love. Cons: no refills on soda for those of you who love it Pros: great food, service, and free water lol.

Good, lowkey, no frills place serving up juicy burgers. We ordered the Southwester and Western burgers with a side of garlic fries. Everything is self-serve and self-clean. Western burger was much more tasty and flavorful. The Southwester was a little bland - meat was juicy but lacked flavor. Garlic fries were pretty oily but had enough garlic flavor that I liked. If I come again, would do to-go. read more

I really like Native Burger! I have been a regular for the last year and a half, and the food has been consistently delicious. This is a great spot in the neighborhood for lunch. I like that the menu is simple; I kinda feel like there is a burger for every mood, without it being overly complicated or overwhelming. You really cannot go wrong with any of the burgers! When I am feeling indecisive (i.e. most of the time), I just choose a random burger and am never disappointed. They use all high quality, grass fed meat and it is always juicy and perfectly cooked. The fried brussels sprouts are excellent, too--a super satisfying, delicious, flavorful alternative to fries! The twice fried fries also slap. My one complaint is that I wish they had better hours... sometimes a girl just wants a burger at 2pm, you know? Hopefully this is just a pandemic thing, though, and they will expand hours soon. This is really just me complaining that Native Burger is too tasty and I crave it all hours of the day. :) read more

Best burger spot along Geary. The veggie burger was also delicious. Simple menu, straightforward. I've tried everything on the menu and they're all good. No bs. No trying to be fancy shenanigans that other places try to do. The food speaks for itself, reasonably priced and you will leave feeling happy and full. Great place for an evening snack before heading out to a bar, or just nice little Laid back dinner spot if you want a burger. The service is great, and I highly recommend this place to anyone that needs a burger fix. read more

tl;dr For what it is (a hole in the wall burger place), these burgers are amazing and really affordable! Price 5/5: Under $10 for the Classic burger, which was still very tasty although it's a no frills burger. If you're looking for more unique toppings like eggs or bacon, it'll bump you up to between $12 and $16, which is arguably still cheap or normal in SF. I also had the garlic fries side. Good portion for a decent price. Interior 4/5: Since it's a hole in the wall shop, it's not a fancy interior at all. It has bar seating and then a couple long picnic type tables. Clean though! Wait 5/5: Essentially nonexistent on a Saturday late morning. Walked right in and ordered. Food came out pretty quickly too; just enough time to start a conversation. I'd definitely come back if I were in the area and craving a classic burger! read more

They have a pretty good burger. I like the fact that they break the bacon up to fit neatly on the burger. My only complaint, I wish the burger was cooked over charcoal or gas flames. I know that most of the burger joints use the flat top to grill their burgers, but charcoal or gas impart much more flavor to the burger. Check them out if you're in the area. read more

Quality burgers from Quality people. Clean space. They use Harris Ranch beef and pan fry it perfectly. I had the northern burger and it was wonderful. Savory mushrooms and grilled onions and Swiss cheese. The brioche bun was fresh and there was excellence excellence displayed on all facets of the simple meal this evening. I don't like to give five star ratings randomly and without merit. I have a reputation on yelp to uphold. JYW highly recommends this burger joint on Gary. Plenty of street parking available.

From the Business

Specialties

Native Burger is a small local burger joint started by an SF native who is passionate about delivering quality products to our local community. We deliver 7 ounces of certified angus beef (grass fed) from Harris Ranch on all our burgers and have non beef options such as grilled chicken, turkey, and our wonderful 100% plant based "Beyond Burger". We also carry an assortment of sausages such as Applewood Smoked Chicken, Bratwurst, Kielbasa, and a traditional Hot Link. Our goal is to deliver a consistently solid experience for our guests and though we may slip up every once in a while, we want to serve others with humility and thankfulness. We are not the cheapest priced burgers in the city but we give what we believe is the best quality/portion for the price we charge.

History

Established in 2017.

Previously established as "Buzz Burger", the owners of Buzz decided to divest the business to focus on their other commitments and since we were customers of the business, we believed we could continue, if not elevate, on what great food was being produced out of this spot. Having tested burgers from all over the city, we wanted to create a set of burgers that was not overly hyped but would be known as a "solid" burger joint. We believe we have achieved this with our current menu. The new ownership decided to call their business "Native Burger" as Collin is himself a native of San Francisco.

Smish Smash

Was in the area around lunch, so I had to go see what the hype was all about…read more Smish Smash is located in Saluhall, the newish food hall that is connected to IKEA. 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.

"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! "I was a-moving and a-grooving, yeah I was a-smishing and a-smashing..."

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!

I am so excited to come back and try other pizzas and the burger, although, it will be hard for me not to order the same thing. The only issue with this place is that it is so popular that there's always a wait/line. It was about an hour and a half wait if you wanted to be seated at an actual table or you can stand in line to sit at the bar (which can be inside or outside). We stood in line for the bar, and it took maybe 30 mins?? Honestly, it could be way worse so don't be intimidated by the line. The inside is a vibe and the outdoor area is heated and very peaceful.

Sushi-grade ahi tuna, sliced avocado, green cabbage and cilantro slaw, green onions, toasted sesame seeds, and spicy mayo, all in crispy taco shells. On paper it reads like a fusion experiment that shouldn't work. In practice, it's surprisingly cohesive. The shells held up through delivery, the tuna tasted genuinely fresh, and the spicy mayo brought just enough heat to keep things interesting without overwhelming the fish. The avocado was generous too, which is worth calling out since that's exactly the ingredient a lot of places quietly skimp on. Three tacos were substantial. I was surprisingly full. Worth noting: they packaged these in a sturdy cardboard box that kept everything upright and intact. For tacos on DoorDash, that matters more than people think. Ahi tuna tacos aren't something you see every day, and that's the point. This is Gott's leaning into California roadside in the best way: quality sourcing, an unexpected creation, and execution that holds up even on DoorDash. I'm curious enough about the rest of the menu to go back. Four stars, with the caveat that the price-to-portion math only works if the quality is there, and from what I got, it is.

Their all gender bathrooms are always clean and the communal handwashing station are outside of the bathrooms.

I love how you can order half portions of their xiao long bao, which makes it easy to sample more items from the menu. The XLBs weree thin, juicy, and delicious. Be prepared for soup explosion with every bite! The pan-fried dumplings were probably the best we've ever had. Not only were they delicious, but their unique shape made them stand out from the usual versions we've tried elsewhere. The steamed dumplings were equally impressive, soft, tender, and just as juicy. You'll want to bite into them carefully, unless you're like my husband and decide to pop the whole thing into your mouth at once. Another surprise favorite was the dan dan noodles. We loved that the noodles were served warm. Most versions we've had elsewhere are closer to room temperature, so this was a very nice surprise. Once mixed together, the dish was so flavorful. Our food arrived quickly, but midway through the meal we realized we had forgotten to order a vegetable dish. We added the stir-fried eggplant which unfortunately seemed to throw off the timing a bit and didn't arrive until near the end of our meal. By then, we were already stuffed, and the eggplant was a little too salty on its own. I think it would have paired much better with rice or noodles. Lesson learned for next time! We visited on a Thursday evening and were lucky enough to find street parking shortly after 6 p.m. We were seated immediately, but a line started forming not long after. So definitely come early!

I believe now they own more than 6 different dumpling places around the bay including Dumpling Story and Dumpling Hour. My partner and I loved this location when it first opened. But now it seemed to have gone down in quality. Expect a wait if you want to come here, but the line does move fast. We ordered the pan fried pork bao, pork and chives dumplings, pigs ears appetizer, and the hot and sour soup. The pork and chives dumpling was our favorite, the skin had a good chew and the flavorful filling to skin ratio was great. However the rest of the order was disappointing. The pan fried pork bao was not very hot, and the fried skin was not crispy and a bit doughy. Kind of like it's been sitting out awhile and there weren't much juice inside. The pigs ear dish doesn't taste properly cooked, it has a bit more funk than I liked, plus it was cut really sloppily. Overall was not a bad experience, but for the price and the waiting you could really get better dumplings at one of their other locations. You'll find better restaurant ambiance than this one which is usually super busy and majority outside seating.

The blackstone benedict was good, the bacon flavor is rich and sweet. However, the yukon potatoes were disappointing as the outside was only slightly crunchy, yet the inside felt like it wasn't cooked long enough since it wasn't soft or flaky. Ultimately, this is a good spot for brunch atmosphere and presentation wise, but the food itself is just average. 3.5/5 stars

Delightful Dining Experience at Native Burger" I recently had the pleasure of dining at Native Burger, and it's safe to say that my taste buds were in for a treat. The standout dish for me was the "Sunrise Burger" - a culinary masterpiece that blended flavors in perfect harmony. The succulent patty paired with fresh toppings created a delightful explosion of taste with every bite. For those looking to explore plant-based options, the "Beyond Burger" is a must-try. The incredible resemblance to a traditional beef burger is uncanny, and the taste is equally satisfying. It's a testament to the chef's skill in crafting a dish that caters to various dietary preferences without compromising on flavor. The service at Native Burger deserves a special mention. The staff is friendly, attentive, and adds to the overall welcoming atmosphere of the restaurant. From the moment I walked in, I felt well taken care of. In conclusion, Native Burger offers a fantastic dining experience with standout dishes that cater to both meat lovers and those embracing a plant-based lifestyle. The combination of delectable food and excellent service makes it a must-visit for burger enthusiasts. https://providersdm.com/ read more

I recently discovered this burger joint and it's a rugged, no frills but still charming place! During my visit, we ordered a Southwestern burger, a veggie burger (Beyond Burger), fries, Brussels sprouts, and enjoyed a couple of IPA beers (21st Amendment). The food was really fantastic, and the best part is that we didn't have to wait long for our order to arrive. This place has quickly become my new favorite burger place in the area. In fact, I've been here several times since it's conveniently located in the neighborhood where a friend of mine lives. The quality of the burger patties is top notch, the buns are great, and I can't get enough of their brussel sprouts - they are amazing. The fries are also on point. What adds to the appeal of this place is the fast and friendly service. It's a real gem to have in the area, especially since it can be difficult to find burgers this good in the Richmond area. In summary, this burger joint won me over with its great food, friendly service, and convenient location. It has become my new favorite place for hearty burgers in the area and I look forward to my next visit. read more

It's always a good time trying out a new burger joint and thankfully, this one did not disappoint! This place is a lowkey spot in the Richmond district and parking is pretty easy to find since there are lots of neighborhoods around and Geary is a pretty large street. Their menu was clean, simple, and easy to choose from. There are only 6 or so burgers to choose from and they all looked super good. I went with the western burger and some twice fried fries. Service was fast and the server was very nice to us. It took maybe 5 minutes before all of our food came out. The burger was big, juicy, and came loaded with all the toppings I could want. It was a pretty good value too as I was stuffed after eating it. The burger also held together really well as everything didn't just spill out the other side after taking a bite. The fries were also good! They were crispy, but still fluffy on the inside and were portioned appropriately for the size of the burger. The restaurant itself is clean and well lit. read more

Simply wow. This is the best kept secret in SF as far as burger spots go. Little hole in the wall burger place that serves some of the best quality food for the price I have seen since coming back to SF. I had the Native Burger which is a 7 ounce grass fed beef with lettuce, tomatoes, fool's gold bacon jam and bbq sauce. That beef was so juicy and perfectly made. They threw in a few onion rings onto the burger that added a nice crunch. I also had the suggested brussel sprouts which was sooo good. I really like their style in offering high quality stuff without the usual SF restaurant scene hype. I think the owner was there that I talked to and he seemed very down to earth and really cared about giving people more quality and less hype. This isn't a cheap place but for the quality I got, I haven't seen a better deal. I've paid the same price for much less in this town. read more

I completely agree; this place tends to fly under the radar, easily missed by passersby. I initially went to the neighboring Mexican restaurant without realizing there was this fantastic burger joint nearby. Intrigued, I decided to give it a shot three days ago, and to my delight, it exceeded my expectations. The menu is straightforward with enough choices for most people, featuring fair prices. The burgers were so good that I returned to get more for my entire family, who also enjoyed them. The meat is flavorful, cooked to your preference, and the service is notably friendly and pleasant. The only thing missing is beer service! read more

A concise, focused menu featuring burgers and a couple of sausages. The burger patty was flawlessly seared, showcasing a meaty, juicy, and tender quality. The brioche-type bun held together well, although some might find it slightly dry and thick--I had a differing opinion from my dining partner. The corn appetizer was notably good, and while the fries didn't appear freshly cut, their battered crispness was quite satisfying. The beer selection on tap is somewhat limited, with the IPA being decent for its kind. Personally, I would have preferred Anchor Steam, but I'm an OG. read more

Despite driving by numerous times without noticing, we stumbled upon this gem when searching for a burger joint, and we're glad we did! Although small, the place excels in crafting fantastic burgers. Our selection included the Southwestern Burger, the Northerner Burger, and the Hot Link. Each had its unique flavor profile, and all were both delicious and satisfying. As a spice enthusiast, the Southwestern Burger stood out as my personal favorite, and I'm already looking forward to my next visit for another round! read more

This burger shop absolutely amazed me! The patties are tender and juicy, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. You can feel the fresh ingredients and careful production in every bite. Paired with soft bread, rich side dishes and perfect sauce, it is a real treat for your taste buds! The fries are golden and crispy, and paired with a cold drink, it's a perfect meal! The service is also very friendly, the environment is clean and comfortable, and I highly recommend it to every burger lover! read more

Despite not being a burger enthusiast, this has become my top burger spot in the city! The staff is friendly, service is excellent, and their burgers are outstanding! I particularly enjoy their Jalapeño poppers and onion rings. What's great is they offer fantastic vegetarian options. My go-to burger is actually the Beyond Burger, as it's flavorful and doesn't leave you feeling overly stuffed. Additionally, they serve bottled beers and wine, adding to the overall experience! read more
