Maybe we were just starving, but tower burger really hits the spot... I still think the best burgers in town are at zeitgeist, but they don't serve 'em all the time so what's a gal to do. Tower burger has nothing really special about it and it is not worth journeying across town for. But if you live nearby or you happen to be in the area, it is decent burger and fries. The family who runs the place seem really nice and eager to be helpful. Although you order at the counter, they bring you your food and try to make it a bit nicer. When we were there a family birthday party had taken over a bunch of tables -- seemed a perfect place for it. Good for kids- let you bring in a cake -- etc. read more

Tower may not have the quirky atmosphere of Mel or Cable car- but its a heck of a lot cleaner. There is plenty of seating and high-chairs. Food to go, is ready fast (faster even then most drive thrus) and packaged for easy travel. The parking is easy to, they recently installed metered parking which has increased available spaces!! I really never thought I would be happy to see a meter- o this crazy town.. Back to burgers. Towers burgers are huge and juicy. The price point is excellent. (More than fast and less than Cable.) They have a better selection of extras, and you aren't charged extra for every little thing. My personal fave is the Paris Burger with brie and grilled mushrooms. Their fries aren't my favorite..but thats probably for the best! read more

The new internship is up in Twin Peaks, and driving to lunch isn't much of an option, so I need to start checking out some of the joints within walking distance of my workplace. Tower Burger was first up. Since it was my first day on the job I didn't really want a huge meal complete with a massive load of fries, so I just got myself a bbq cheddar veggie burger and a diet coke. I will say however that the fries looked pretty amazing! I will have to grab some after work sometime. On to the burgers. Since I only eat halal meat, I kept away from the beef, as incredibly tempting as it was. This place has a relatively large selection of veggie burgers, and the bbq cheddar one seemed to call my name, and it definitely hit the spot. The veggie burger patty was cooked just right, and the huge helping of bbq sauce with a melted slice of cheddar was the perfect accompaniment. On top of that was a huge piece of fresh cut leaf lettuce, onions, tomato, and pickles. Add in unlimited refills on the diet coke, and I was a happy happy camper! Only down side was that a veggie burger and a diet coke ran me something like 9 dollars... yikes!! The fish and chips also looked mighty tasty and are on the short list for next time I swing by. This place gets pretty busy with the local school kid crowd around lunch time so be aware of that. Super nice people behind the counter and a really clean seating area! read more

Basic interior (pretty clean, though they could wipe down the walls), good selection of burgers and sandwiches. The California chicken sandwich is a tasty treat and the fries are pretty darn good. Fast! If you need to get in and get out, this is the place. read more

This is a pretty darn' good place to get a burger. Not as good as upper-tier burger joints like Barneys, but a far cry better than Mickey D's. The shakes are done well, as are the fries, which are never soggy or overdone. The burgers are large, tasty, and filling. Tack on the clean (though unremarkable) interior, and reasonably priced fare and that gets you four Yelp stars from me any day! read more

mMm... Juicy burger.... Every time I pass by here my mouth waters a little, just a Pavlovian response I guess. Two burgers you must try here: Tower Burger and the California, please get it cooked anything other than well-done The Tower Burger is amazing, it's so moist thanks to the mushrooms that it oozes, have napkins ready. The California is kind of interesting, you might be wary of sprouts and avocados on a burger, but it works. read more

Tower Burger is not mind-blowing or fancy, just solid and chill. I got the California burger with avocado, sprouts, and jack cheese, and some fries. Service was good and the food came out quickly, which is always nice. Their shakes are made with MItchell's ice cream, which I didn't try but imagine is great. It's no Pearl's, but if you live nearby and want a burger, I'd recommend it. read more

I 've been to Tower Burger for years and lately I just notice that the staff and the owner don't have any skill to greet their customers even though a nice "Hello " or " Good-day" in a nice way. We are the customers and we come here to buy your moderate price food. In &Out Burger has a better courtesy than them. So disappointed !!!! read more

Great burgers. The vegetables they use are very fresh. Beef is good, but for some reason their burgers don't seem as beefy as other places. Their fries and onion rings are delicious - perfectly made. It's pricey as far as burgers go ($7 for a burger alone) but afterwards I didn't feel that I had paid too much. The burger did an okay job at justifying its price read more

My friend wanted to take me to this place. Said it was pretty cheap for a good ass burger. Expected it to be a dingy hole-in-the-wall because that's how most places that are good tend to look sometimes. I walked in and it was well-lit, decent dining space, and contemporary designed. The counter person was very nice. I ordered a California burger and although it says "bean sprouts" is what it comes with, I had a suspicion that they meant alfalfa. When it came, it was alfalfa sprouts. Thank God because I cannot handle having bean sprouts with my burger. But either way, it was on the side. The burger was $6.99. I got a drink and left the counter almost $10 poorer. They advertise that they use Niman Ranch beef, which is great! But honestly, I've been to other burger joints who don't say that and their burgers tasted just the same. I guess it's not really about the taste then, maybe more about the treatment of the cows. Either way, I would come back as long as I knew I had $10 to spare. read more

The food is good, not great, and a bit overpriced especially considering you order at the counter then are given a number for your table for the food to be delivered. I'm giving 3 stars because the food I've gotten before, burgers and fries, fish and chips, were consistently good. Last night I went with a friend and we both ordered burgers with a side salad, one diet coke and one ice tea and the bill was $25! He had a bacon cheeseburger, cooked medium, and he requested no bun, extra lettuce as he is low-carbing. I asked for my burger to be medium well. Both were served to us without buns even though I never requested that! It was corrected promptly but my date felt awkward starting before me. The side salads were fairly large but your basic green lettuce, carrots, tomatoes, one slice of cucumber and croutons. My burger arrived the second time and I thought it was tasty. My friend's burger was a bit dry even though his was cooked less than mine, not sure how they accomplished that? The ice tea I ordered was made to order.... with fresh brewed tea. otherwise you get your own drinks from the soda machine. Next time I will insist on going to the Bullshead. read more

I am not a hamburger person, but when I do have the cravings or if anyone else would have burger, this would be the place. This place is clean, the hamburger is tasty. I love the fact that the meat is juicy, yet my the buns ain't soggy, just good honest burger with no gimmick. Love it! read more

Came here based on Yelp reviews and you guys didn't come through for me. Clean and sterile could describe the location and burgers. Meh... read more

To be quite honest, I have only had the cheese burgers here and I love them! I don't like to mess with a good thing, so if I'm in the mood for a sure thing I come here. Nice, juicy, jack, burger with fresh produce and piping hot fries. The guy and girl behind the counter are so nice and always have a smile on their faces. The food is done in no time and cheap. read more

Delish chicken sandwich and it's huge! Needed to save 1/2 for lunch the next day. The fries were just the way I love too- well cooked but long and with enough potato flesh that they are slightly flimsy... Perfect for sopping up ketchup (aka Red Death). Good place to support a local eatery - especially with Mollie Stone so close by! read more

Great burgers, incredible milk shakes. But thats what the place is about, the cheesteaks arent as good, nor are the sandwiches. They make excellent onion rings and fries as well. I normally go for their Tower Burger, medium. The thing about their milkshakes is that they use Mitchells ice cream. read more

Burger Beef = Niman Ranch - All of the different options will make your taste buds happy you made the trip over. Worth the price in general. -Western Burger -Classic Burger -Hawaiian/Teryaki Fries = Not too oily, not too fried and dried, just right if you don't eat it all at once that is, lol. Ambiance: Cozy and Casual, tucked away in a neighborhood with a view, perfect. Parking - Not usually a problem. It's metered but away from being hit by traffic. read more

First time here and I thought it was pretty good. Beef comes from Niman Ranch. Due to the high ceilings in this place, the noise level can get pretty loud quick. I'm glad I came here right before closing with my friend. Food: - Paris Burger (1 beef patty, a thick slice of brie cheese, sauteed mushrooms and condiments) - Peach Tea Surprisingly, I cleaned the plate of my burger, fries AND ketchup. I must have been really hungry, cuz I'm satisfied now. I thought this place was better than Five Guy's fall apart burger. read more

Tower Burger is a great little neighborhood burger joint. The service is always quick, they are friendly, and always professional. It's unique but it's great! read more

Nothing really bad to say. Burgers are cooked to your liking, tasty, but nothing really stands out. I live in the area so I'm happy that it's an option when I'm lazy to cook. Although, I hate that the burgers don't come with fries. Wish I could give half stars read more

I got a cheeseburger and split fries and onion rings with my dad. Everything was tasty, especially the onion rings! We ended up here after trying to go to another restaurant that was super crowded where we couldn't get a table, so I was relieved to find that Tower was emptier and quiet. Had to get a vanilla milkshake for the ride home too! read more

Ordered takeout today, basic burger and fries. Burgers and fries are ordered separately. Kids loved them, made the car smell super yummy, tasty burgers. Was ready really quick as well, plenty of parking. read more

I ordered the classic American cheese, white bread grilled cheese and tomato sandwich, expecting standard fare. Instead, it was the best of its kind. The bread was toasty and crunchy and the fresh tomato/melted cheese combo was delicious. The portion was just right - not some monstrosity with three kinds of strong cheeses and bread the size of a shoe. No, this grilled cheese sandwich rests on the pinnacle of perfection. read more

Love this place! Good burgers, fries, tuna melts, veggie burgers. Tower Burger is also kid friendly. read more

My friends and I were looking for the best burger in the City one weekend. This place definitely doesn't have it. Decent burger that you might cook at home or at a bbq. What really enticed us about this place were the onion rings, but those were entirely disappointing. Undercooked and greasy, I couldn't force myself to finish them. Won't be coming back anytime soon. read more

This place has REALLY good burgers and fries. My mouth is actually watering right now as I type this and think about the burger I ate there. The place has a very spacious feel to it. The inside is kind of whatever, but it doesn't matter to me if the food is really good (and it was). I ate what I think they call their Tower burger. Sooooooo tasty. Loved it. read more

First time coming here with my friend and I like the place. Lots of natural lighting, room, and etc. I tried their Hawaiian burger and it was pretty good. A little on the pricey side but worth it. The fries don't get soggy as fast and the burger patty was cooked exactly like I wanted so I love it! read more

Tower Burger - Burgers Near Me - San Francisco, California

I remember coming here a few years ago and not being impressed. Came here for lunch a week ago with co-workers and I was pleasantly surprised. Ordered a Mushroom and Cheese Burger which was well cooked and tasty. I did not like their refilled glass ketchup bottles with fading paper logos. Please replace the bottles frequently or use another container that is washable! read more

Great burger from a great neighborhood. I came in one evening on a weekday and thought I was sinking my teeth into a beef burger, but realized it was a vegetarian one. It's that good! The fries that come with are awesome, served warm and fast from their great staff. Definitely a place to come back to. read more

The food wasn't as great as the service was. I ordered a 2 piece fish and chips. No flavor on both fish and fries. Who the hell doesn't salt fries? (And when I did salt my own fries, it barely made a difference) And I saw a bit of fish skin on my cod pieces that made me feel a little ill when I saw them. (They were probably fine but I personally do not like fish skin because some people do not know how to clean fish skin well) PLEASE add some flavor into your food. The service was great but the food was not which is why I gave the restaurant 2 stars. Will not be coming back because this was a HUGE waste of money and a HUGE disappointment. I've tasted better fish and chips elsewhere but because of COVID my choices for restaurants are very limited. read more

Love this place!!! The food is awesome, they also serve my favorite sweet potato fries. There's a pokestop nearby, good for the Pokemon go addicts :D read more

Tower Burger - Tower burger!! - Burgers Near Me - San Francisco, California

See all

Selection: Considering this is a burger joint, Tower burgers has lots of veggie options like the Portabella mushroom, california veggie (with avocados and sprouts), veggie Paris burger with brie and mushrooms and several others. They also have turkey burgers, sandwiches, salads and fish and chips. Value/Quality: I usually order the veggie chili burger with fries. At $ 6.25 The portion of fries (that you have to pay extra) seems generous and the chili is satifying for a good eater like me. The lettuce and tomato are always crisp and the food is hot, even for pick-up orders. Location/service The School of the Arts is near by, it gets crowded on weekdays around lunch time. I get my orders to go, you can always call ahead. Mama and junior always take your order FAST without ever being rude or dismissive! They are lovely people, very efficient. Now, if I could get them not to be stingy with the ketchup packages with to-go orders..... read more

What a burger should taste like. That's what you get at this family owned burger joint. True Niman Ranch quality beef on a decent bun with just the right amount of lettuce, tomatoes, onions and pickles. The burgers are also super clean, no mess bite after bite. Good burger. Onion rings and french fries are good but if you want both, you have to order one of each. Too bad they don't offer a combo...frings would be nice. read more

3 simple because this is a burger spot with its own unique take on a burger. I ordered my Paris Burger and it was good. Nothing too special about it but I enjoyed it. It's a bit pricey for my taste though. If in the area and I'm having the urge for burgers I'll go again but I'll look first for other spots I have yet to tryout. read more

Yelp hours are incorrect - says they are open til 9pm in Mondays, but I just came in and they said they were closing in 5 minutes. Maybe another review regarding incorrect hours will move the proprietors to get on Yelp's case about making sure the hours are correct! read more

I just inhaled a cheeseburger here. It was a yummy, well cooked surprise. All the ingredients were of good quality, the joint is super clean and the service friendly & efficiant. Good neighborhood burger spot. read more

Burger, dripping with brie cheese, with crisp onion rings on the side? Yes please! I was craving a veggie burger the other day and decided to stop in. The burger, with brie cheese and sauteed mushrooms, was delicious. The service was fast, and though the prices seem a little high, I'd still go again. It was well worth it! read more
