“I live in the Plaza neighborhood and it is so nice to have a quality burger joint in walking distance. They literally have any conceived burger combination you could possibly want. The people are fantastic and polite. Of course the food is always incredible.“

“TAME [Original] Taramis“

“I received very friendly, efficient service from start to finish. I ordered myself a big breakfast meal, basically two servings worth, and received everything I asked for. With great, quality taste in every bite, I finished my meal with gusto. I look forward to going home with a fancy slice of pie, and as a neighbor, I look forward to my next meal here!“

“The whopper with cheese taste just as good as always. The nuggets were over cooked but still edible. When nuggets get overcooked they turn out stiff and hard. Thats how I know because Im a cook. I still gave 5 stars, because I loved the burgers. They were perfectly made and they dont give you a hard time about asking for extra sauce!“

“Staff was friendly and the service of the food was delicious 🤤“

“I'm gonna give this a 4.8 star, I got this delivered, the packaging was secured and properly done, yet came with no straw, the fries not that crunchy or anything but that's fine, the drink was a rootbeer, was watered down some but again it's delivered, the Burger itself was absolutely delicious, meat cooked perfectly, tomatoes cut nicely, the lettuce was a bit brown but that's nothing, the bottom bun was a little soggy but that's fine (again delivered) but over all amazing I would recommend this place 100% but do go inside, just so your food doesn't get soggy or drink get watered down. :)“

“Best Hawaiian bbq on the main land and most Hawaii. Everything here is perfect. Bbq chicken and teri pork unbelievable flavor. Saiman , volcano chicken, masubis,shrimp what ever you order will be amazing. Great serving size been coming here for years my family loves this place. We traveled multiple times to the big island, maui and Oahu and on our trips and nothing can compare to this Waikiki Hawaiian BBQ flavors. OMW“

“Clean Dining Room most visits.
There is a Kids Playland inside!
Employees are nice enough.
Order number table stands are offered when you order from the kiosk with the intent that an employee will bring you your order when it is ready. They Do Not acknowledge the table stands and just call out your order number on the receipt. Please, Either have them and deliver the food to the tables or get rid of the stands all together.“

“Garlic fresh fries: FABULOUS BREWHOUSE burger: SUPER DELICIOUS. Staff attention: THE GREATEST. I don't agree with many people here giving so bad reviews about this place. Please be kind, nice, give a smile enjoy your meals and forgive the owners for not helping employees properly. I even noticed a nice "PINK" Ford Fusion parked outside.“

“Sooooooooooooooooooo delicious“

“Amazing service and a small, clean atmosphere. The restaurant seats 18 people max, with one table seating 6, 2 tables sitting 4, and 4 single spots to sit facing the window. The patty was slightly disappointing on the “Cheezburger”, but the fries made up for it. Would definitely go again!“

“Amazing burger !! Je recommande !!“

“So the burgers used to be AMAZING here but something has felt a little off for me the past few times I have gone. They’re still decent burgers but the past few times leave me not really wanting to go back… their ice cream and cookies are still great so no complaints there. I’m just bummed that one of my fave smash burgers went down in quality 😔“

“I love this place & so glad I found it. The burgers are always substantial & always consistent. I eat a Spicy Sly about 3x a week. The service is always amazing.

One time, I arrived to pick up my order & the guy at the register realized the cook had forgotten to include my fries. They started making them & told me it would be about 5 minutes. I really wasn’t worried about it at all but they were so kind & apologetic. I didn’t have to wait too long & once they had the order completed, they gave me a free coke for the trouble. Even though, again, I really wasn’t tripping about it at all, the attention to the customer & service is amazing. I love this place & the staff.“

“Good food under the towering Bay Bridge- great views 😍“

“Came on a Wednesday and got an enormous delicious beef brisket plate for $22. Probably the best deal I’ve seen in North Beach. The hamburgers look pretty awesome too although I have not tried one yet. My friend got a chicken pesto sandwich which was less exceptionable but not bad.

Definitely worth coming back!

One note: sitting at the back is pretty loud, sounds like there’s a club or something on the other side of the wall so it was hard to hear my friend talking, but that’s probably not an an issue if you come earlier or don’t sit in the very back.“

“Takes a while to come out but it’s worth it!“

“If you are craving a burger this is spot is one of the best. Juicy burger, crunchy fries and delicious shakes and for dessert the new addition key lime pie. Yummm! The service is good and the store is clean. I’m happy I found this place .“

“This place is underrated. Excellent service. The cashier greeted me as if I was family. Oreo shake was on 💯 and the burgers 🤌🏽
I got a large fry but I should have grabbed 2 larges because 🔥🔥“

“Had the best lamb I’ve ever had wildly enough and this green sauce thing is so good I wish I got 4 of them. There’s a 15 min wait on the lab kebab but I think it’s worth it. There’s an argument to be made if it’s worth the price, I got extra lamb and honestly no regrets. Maybe just a single portion for your fist time. Cheese burger also had a brioche/potato bun that was very pleasant.“

“Love the food and the community!!“

“Atmosphere, customer service, prices and the freaking food is amazing 😍. Highest rated casual dining from Hayward to Vallejo! For good reason! This is a must if in the area. We will be back!“

“My favorite food is everything on the menu“

“i love in and out very much cuz of the food and the prices are very good and also they have items that are not on the menu and its always busy and i dont see them going out of buiness any time soon but if this had upgrade the store so more people can sit down that would be good and also the staff are very nice and they always get everything rite and the food is better then most fast food places so im coming here every time“

“Dude. It's In-n-Out. What more can I say? Just Do It!“

“Good selection with a lot of options and they don't disappoint. It was my son's 1st time and he loved it‼️“

“10/10 food and 1000000/10 service! My 13 year old brother went there and ordered his food, and then realized his debit card ran out of funds. The staff still made him his food, and gave him a hug and encouraged him to eat it!

He was too embarrassed and waited until I could come to the restaurant and pay for him. But the owner and the staff treated him like their own little brother, and was willing to give him the meal for free! You rarely see this type of kindness anymore ❤ plus, the burgers and BOMB !“

“The burgers are so juicy and delicious! Anthony Bourdain was right!“

“I love Nations but it really pisses me off that the Management doesn't allow the employees to have a tip jar of every little bit helps especially now and it's not like they pay great either just average, but I did see a Giant Help Wanted sign in the window, hmmm I wonder why?“

“Popped into here with my husband and we had a were pleasantly surprised at how cute this place was, how good the food was and most of all how friendly the owners Bryan and Kelly (I think that is their names) were. The conversation over their burgers on the cute reteo counter was definitely the highlight.“

“Cynthia is very friendly and amazing the burgers and the fries came out hot and fresh crispy. Well seasoned definitely choose this spot over nearby Jack-in-the-Box and Popeyes for a chicken sandwich or a cowboy burger. Definitely coming back to San Pablo“

“My picky husband really liked the veggie burger 😊“

“Wow the food ruled, I always get a strawberry milkshake they’re my favorite. My freind got a bacon cheeseburger and the buns of my sliders, he said “Sooo buttery, and toasty.” The onion rings were perfect, with the onion soft and melty in the center. Cynthia was our server she was so sweet and efficient, she’s getting things done !“

“Today we went to nations with my family and our experience was so incredible my children and my wife were happy to return to nations and enjoy the breakfasts and the delicious harvester and their fries we love nations for their variety of food and Jenifer has been great we will return soon“

“even they took awhile for the order yesterday I had some problems chili cheese fries was nasty I'm warmed them up in microwave and they were gross filming the garbage man“

“Every time I come back to visit my hometown, family and friends I stop in and get their delicious burger!!! I’ve been going there since I was a little kid and I’m so thankful they’re still there and the burgers are still as good as I remember ❤️“

“great juicy burger, thick creamy shake and the amazing garlic fries 🍟“

“Your chicken sandwich swelled up my lip because it was so dang hot“

“Sparkys has been in existence since I moved into this area over 40 years ago. The menu has evolved to include salads (like teriyaki chicken and teriyaki salmon)and some healthier options like quinoa bowls. That said, I still love their bacon cheeseburgers, various fries and tempura zucchini/mushrooms. If you like matcha, the milkshake is a creamy delight!“

“1 this actually made my day. ordered a double cheeseburger and it was super messy in the besst way, juicy enough to drip down my arm but not soggy at all. the girl at the counter was nice enoguh to chat while my food was coming up.

would definately go back if i'm ever in the area again, it was perfect.“

“I have passed by this place on my way to Peets. (It's next to Peets). I ordered a kids cheeseburger and animal fries 🍟$22 . Not a bad price for 2 people to share. The kids burger was delicious I wish I would have gotten extra pickles for the AF. I'll be back.“

“My favorite burger in the city hands down. If you're looking for a perfectly lacy and crisp patty on a potato bun and the biggest helping of fries, you've found the right place. It's simplicity done right and I come here more than I probably should, but they're a consistently delicious lunch that makes going to the office less painful. The staff are always nice and work efficiently as possible for fresh food they make in front of your face. I hope they stick around for a long time!“

“The food is phenomenal. Everything, from the sauce, the salad, the rice, the chicken, the beef, the burger, was phenomenal. Even though the prices are not cheap, they deserve it. If the tomatoes and salad taste good, that means everything's good, and they care about everything.

After we're done, we would put that whole place out. We don't have to clean; they clean everything for us. What is the service?“

“Im assuming the guy that is there every day is the owner.....he is just the best super attentive treats every person like an actual guest not a customer totally goes out of his way to make sure you are getting exactly what you want I love this place 1000% reccomend.“

“Awesomely cheap tasty burgers and yummy seasoned fries. Quick service overall super great. There is no place to sit and eat or even really sit and wait. But the wait is never long. They usually clean out the milkshake machine, maybe even an hour prior to closing.“

“We stopped in last weekend while on a road trip and absolutely loved this place! The food was fantastic and reasonably priced. The manager, Alejandro Parada provided incredible customer service. I really wish we lived nearby so we could eat here all the time!“

“Nice meat quality in the burger and good cheese amount. I'd like a bigger bun though for the double. That 1/2 pound of meat and lot of cheese overwhelmed the bun. Super Duper has same issue for me on their dub so maybe just me. Also would like lettuce and tomatoes included rather than charge extra.“

“Favorite burger joint in SF. The guys working there are super chill and welcoming, and it's got a cozy atmosphere. The burgers themselves, namely the piggy jack for me, are spectacular, especially for the low price they sell them at. They're open late and well within stumbling distance from any of the other haunts nearby.“

“This is the place to go for a great Smash! If this place isn't on Triple D, it should be! Come hungry because the burgers are filling! And the restaurant is fabulous! They have outside sidewalk seating. Eat your food and drink a beer while people watching. They have a wide variety of sodas. And their Slappin' Lemonades really slap!“

“Really enjoyed Bongo Burger! The Persian burger was delicious—great flavor and cooked really well. The fries were crispy and tasty, and the kabob wraps were also really good. Solid spot if you’re craving burgers or Persian-style comfort food. Will definitely be back!“
