Excellent Burger

by margox

Tried the BurgerMeister at North Beach this evening and was pleasantly surprised by the quality. I never quite trust reviews because they are so subjective, however, sometimes one lucks out, and the restaurant lives up to the hype. BurgerMeister is worth the price of a burger, the food is fresh, and Niman Ranch (non-poisonous) meat is used for the patties - no mystery meats here. As an added bonus, the staff was very friendly and helpful. I hope that when I return next I will have a comparable experience.

• Pros: good food, fast, nice staff
• Cons: As always, parking in North Beach

Best Burgers I've found in 42 of the 50 states

by bigsurmac

Both Burgermeister locations we've eaten in are topnotch. Their meat is top quality, lettuce/tomatoes, etc. always fresh and RIGHT. If possible, avoid the high-lunch rush or the heaviest evening crush, for the same reasons you would do the same anywhere reservations aren't taken.

In countless burgers we've eaten at BM, only one or two have not been perfectly prepared and delivered. All we had to do was point out to the staff the shortcomings on any meal and they cook a new burger at no charge.

I traveled the 25 western states for more than a decade as a sales and service rep, so had to learn where the good, reasonably priced food could be found.

Never looked for the cheapest, simply because cheap is cheap.

My lady has 35 years in San Fraincisco and knows all the great, non-touristy restaurants with excellent to superb food and fair priceing.

BM is a must two to four times monthly for her.

And we usually split a burger. It's more than enough food for the two of us.

BM prices are most reasonable for The Bay Area, but the food is far superior to any of the major chains at any price.

We've tried all the variations listed in their short menu. They are all outstanding.

Get acquainted with the neighborhood for both locations so you will know how to find parking, but this is one where we don't object to walking three or four blocks for the food.

• Pros: The burgers, The Burgers, The Fries, The Fries, The Burgers, The Shakes
• Cons: The Parking

Wonderful burgers and shakes

by parsoneats

I'd only say that the seats and tables are a bit a small and cramped, but the food's top-notch, the service is very friendly and you get a 1/2-pound burger for $7.

Burgers are pretty big, so go with an appetite, or maybe split one with a friend. Fries and chocolate shakes are wonderful too.
