THE BEST BURGER IN SF IS AT CHEZ MAMAN.......YOU MUST TRY WITH BRIE AND BACON !!!!!
PCOS Treatment

Having lived in Mill Valley for a few months last year, I'm ALL ABOUT the Pearls deluxe burger, it's one of the best I've ever had...but my vote goes for NOPA and their delicious (albeit almost raw) cheeseburger on simple brioche bun...it's a game changer...

Super Duper. Locations in the Castro and FiDi. $4.50 gets you a double.

Joe's Cable Car!!
He grinds his meat daily...a combination of chuck and Rib-eye

Tony's Cable Car Diner on Geary. Its $6 even for a greasy cheese burger that hits the spot. Plus there's a parking lot.

The best burger I believe is at Broken Record. Pearls, Super Duper & Rosamunde are also really good.

the heck is wrong with you people?
don't you ever get out to the avenues?
Bill's Place between 24th & 25th on Clement.
old school. ground fresh daily. no fuss. much muss.
terrific shakes.
give it a shot.

Super Duper Burger
Market & 15th street

Hands down best tasting burger in the city.
Very rich intense taste.

Burger $4.50

Barneys in the marina is hands down the best. the fries are also drop dead amazing

Uh, Hello, Zeitgeist? Duh.

$6 with cheese, plus awesome East Coast diner style home fries crispy from the griddle.

A pint of Damnation or the Best Bloody Mary in Sf and you're set for under $10.

Hot Box Grill in Sonoma has the best burger in the bay area. House ground hanger/sirloin, homemade sweet potato and sesame bun, homemade pickles, and all the fixins, plus bacon aioli! All for way under $10. This could even beat your choice for "high-end" burgers too! They also have hand cut french fries cooked in pure duck fat served with sauce bernaise. Get up there and try 'em out!

Bottom line answer: Pearl's Deluxe! You have to try the Prized Pearl (blue cheese, thick cut bacon and sauteed onions...I also throw in some of their onion rings inside the burger to give it an added crunch!)! Get off me!

Curbside Cafe on California at Fillmore. The best, juiciest, good meat tasting burger I have had!

Also, Joe's Cable Car burgers. "Joe grinds his own chuck daily"
mmmm, real beef flavor. the fries are no big deal, but the shakes are the yum.

Rosamunde has the best burger I've ever had in the city. It is simple juicy, perfectly cooked, and is perfectly complemented by a beer over at toronado. Also for $6 it puts burger meister and others to shame. This burger isn't for the people that are looking for all of the window dressing and the wait can be incredibly long. For my money I can't get anything better and always make it a destination on Tuesday. See a pic here: http://playfoursquare.s3.amazonaws.com/pix/ELMXAF4KT3HBXZNE1VCGO5QD0X3XV....

Clearly Pearl's on Post! A juicy, delicious hot mess. You gotta get the spries to go with it. Try the bison if you've got a few spare bucks, too.

check out Bigmouth Burger on 24th near Valencia. It's the perfect burger, like you would make in your backyard on the grill...and they have thick-cut fries

Johnny Rockets. Just because it's uncool to say a chain is legit isn't stopping me!

Hamburguesa @ Don Pisto's

Only $9 and its marinated in bacon and onions, guacamole

www.donpistos.com

Gott's nee Taylors is pretty solid

4505 meats. best cheeseburger i've ever had.

Burgers on Tuesday at Rossamonde in the Lower Haight are fantastic as is the social scene it promotes.

Metro Caffe in the Lower Haight has a great, juicy, peppered burger which comes with a large plate of fries, all for under $10.

Exactly what a perfect burger should be: cheap and delicious without any fancy add-ons.

Handsdown and throwndown "Pearl's Burger" is the bomb! Always juicy fresh and mindblowing. An SF must.

It is still unknown but "Hall of Flame Burger" knows how the simple burger can be so satisfying! I have tried twice and their "Alley Oop" can be one of the best burgers under $10.00.
With the plenty of parking space!

Hall of Flame Burger

San Francisco, CA 94132

The Richmond! $10 burger with house-ground beef, homemade ketchup (!) and a Schuberts bun. DELICIOUS.

Sams Burger 618 Broadway SF,CA.

BURGER MEISTER!!!
Niman ranch beef (Hormone and antibiotic free beef).

138 Church St. (Shop at Safeway and walk over for a quick bite & Beer)
86 Carl St. just off the Streetcar line.
or
759 Columbus Ave. Groove with the beatniks.

My favorite burgers!
Alameda Berkeley and Westlake Daly City too!

My go to burger < $10 is Tower Buger on Portola near Miraloma Park. The meat is juicy, the toppings fresh, and a tasty bun. Bonus, EZ parking and efficient service.

Holding Company Burger!
Been making them great for 30+ years.
Flavorful ground beef
Blue cheese & bacon
Text-book burger in the financial district.

It's getting cold, try the split-pea soup as a starter.

Friends, has no one had the 4505 Meats cheeseburger at the Ferry Building farmers market on Thursdays? What's today, Wednesday? Tomorrow's your lucky day, y'all. You will cry with happiness.

Broken Record beef and bacon burger clocks in at $10, a steal for a huge house ground patty WITH THE BACON GROUND INTO IT! Comes with a fat slab of heirloom tomato too

Fiddler's Green Bacon Burger (come's big slabs of Irish Bacon)

PEARL'S - 100%. Pearl's Deluxe with buffalo or the bacon and cheese deluxe. The buffalo meat is superb!

Barney's on 24th St in Noe Valley. Awesome burgers and onion rings too!

Super Duper all the way! It's like gourmet In & Out. Mega beefiness that's easy on the wallet.

Metro Burger on Fillmore near Haight

Roam on Union Street, have found no better

Kezar at Carl and Cole Street. No fancy this and that to dress it up, but it's great every time. They make their own buns, use quality ingredients, etc and it's great with a glass of their red

Bullshead on West Portal, SF has the best beef and buffalo burgers. It is a neighborhood favorite! A great burger for $8!

Also, Hard Knox Cafe on 3rd has a great Juicy Lucy, a burger with cheese grille inside it. Def worth the juicy mess it makes!

Mo's burgers on Grant st in North Beach win my vote. Always tasty, mouthwatering and consistent

Pearls - You can even substitute for grass-fed beef or buffalo meat, and still manage for under $10!
