50 Best Burger Restaurants near Sausalito

“One of the best burgers I’ve ever had! So glad we stumbled upon this hidden jewel right before closing time. Thank you for being patient while we gobbled down that burger! Thanks for throwing in some free fries.

I wish you the most success possible! Y’all make GREAT burgers!“

“Elizabeth is a wonderful waitress who catered to our every need and gave us a taste of every sauce on the menu that went with our delicious burgers, fries & onion rings! We stopped in on 11/2 during a cruise stop.“

“Lovely service; easy to find table; tasty food and juices and nice clean amenities. Would recommend and would go back if we were in the area. Also next to the floating houses in Sausalito - nice area and ambience.“

“Sooooooooooooooooooo delicious“

“Wow! I’m visiting San Francisco and chose this spot on a busy Valentine’s Day. Boy was that the right call! Food was perfection, fries were crispy fresh-and don’t sleep on the onion rings! Service was attentive and sweet, tables were spotless, and atmosphere was vibrant and fresh. 💯 recommend and would be back.“

“Amazing burger !! Je recommande !!“

“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 😍“

“My experience here was excellent and rewarding. I came in on National Burger Day, and got the Belly Buster burger. The cook prepared my patty just how I asked for it, and my meal was well worth the price. Waitress sat me quick, was nice, and she was busy being the only one, I am very grateful to have found this place. I will definitely be coming back for seconds the next time I'm in North Beach.“

“A good hamburger and delicious fríes!!!“

“old school drive in burger joint. fresh beef!“

“My favorite food is everything on the menu“

“Absolutely fantastic.

Great quality, flavor, and good presentation on food. Highly recommend their salsa verde on just about anything. Superb. My favorite: Chilaquiles with ham, verde sauce. You won’t regret it.

Friendly, family feel staff, quick food, clean environment, atmosphere not too loud though when full it can get moderate.“

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

“Great quality and service“

“10/10 would smash(burger). But in all seriousness, this is a fantastic smash burger place. Jaded by the size of original burgers at other places, I ordered a double cheeseburger and was greeted by a behemoth smash burger with a perfectly crunchy burger skirt. Grab the garlic fries, they're also great.“

“Nice location, excellent staff!“

“Note of appreciation to say that Hi-Way is the only burger place I've tried that not only offers a Beyond burger, but also clearly puts as much care into the veggie burger as the meat burger. Just as they seem to do with the meat patties (my partner enjoyed the cheeseburger), they smashed the patty so it was thin, crispy, juicy, and delicious, sesame bun was amazing, and all of the toppings were fresh and generously portioned (added fresh peppers, pickles, and onion were awesome with it). Loved their onion rings especially as well and staff were incredibly warm and friendly; great vibes.“

“What a delicious smash burger. Only open five hours a week at the outer sunset farmers market, I had to plan my Sunday around having this burger. Ordered at 1030 am for a rare brunch burger. It was definitely worth it. Meat was smashed and crispy, and the bun of the burger was soft and tasty. I definitely recommend checking out this pop up burger shop if you can make it.“

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

“Breakfast is Fantastic...My Advice? "Don't Come For Breakfast....IF You're Not Hungry" ...They Feed You Plenty😁Herb Caen Burger Was Delicious For Dinner...Great Service,Too 👍😊“

“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?“

“The turkey and cheese burger is the best 🍔 with the curlier fries is the best of the best 👍🏼🤗.“

“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.“

“Jenny’s Burger is a must try in San Francisco! Run by a nice couple, they cook up burgers on a cool revolving grill. The best part is you can customize your burger the way you want. This was a super nice touch and a great experience. The service was on point and easy to eat inside, outside, or bring it to Golden Gate Park. The cheese fries were amazing as well, I do recommend. I especially enjoyed the bun they used for the burger. Overall a spot I would return to.“

“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.“

“Came here to watch the Super Bowl. It was packed and hard to find a seat, but the food and service was great. They make a good burger and their milkshakes are tempting. The patties get a nice smashing to it. Good vibes, good burgers! There seemed to be plenty of street parking!“

“Just tried this place for the first time. We got the aji inferno and the class 10 hunnids burger. These may be my favorite smash burgers in the city! The smash patties are cooked perfectly, and the 10 hunnids burger is reminiscent of old school sonic (IYKYK). The servings are very generous. We loved the loaded tots that were perfectly crispy and had loads of toppings.“

“Great service, the waiter was very nice and the food was delicious“

“Had the mushroom Swiss veggie burger with sweet potato fries. The burger tasted fine and had a decent amount of toppings. The only thing I wish it had was ketchup and mayo. It did come with some type of special sauce but I would have preferred a bit more sauce options included in the burger.

Overall, though it tasted decent. For the price, it was a decent deal. The veggie burger is your standard veggie patty made from real ingredients. Flavor was decent enough. Could have used a bit more seasoning. But for the price, I would say it's worth it. The bun was soft. No sparse toppings. Fries were decent and the amount provided was sufficient for a side with the burger.

I would purchase from here again if I just want a basic veggie burger and fries for a good price.“

“I gave the service 4 stars NOT because the staff were unfriendly or rude. It was just weird to wait thaaat long for a burger 😅 My husband already finished his food, my burger was still being prepared. And ordering a burger is the most basic thing you could order in a place like this. Does’t need 40+ minutes to prepare. It was tasty though 🤤🤤🤤“

“Great burger. They know how to wrap it in lettuce: huge, soft leaves and properly wrapped in paper. Delish milkshake, try the coffee once. Fries a tad too salty and trendy, read: umami. I miss simple fries. Safe for gluten free. Bonus! Clean restroom, yay! Street parking, bus, walk, ride or ride share. Super nice staff. Eat in, out at the curb it take out. Win win.“

“I like this place.. however no bills over twenty is Irking me!!!“

“Very good sandwiches!! 10/10“

“Great place with very delicious food.“

“3.5 stars would probably be more accurate. It was pretty good, they have veggie patties, vegan cheese, and a vegan milkshake. Pretty small portions, especially for the fries, but generally good food. Updated from previous review on 2026-03-02“

“I love the super duper veggie burger, it's the only place I can think of where I'm actually motivated to go to get a veggie burger. I love the add on options. I want to love the garlic fries and still order them most of the time but they always tend to come out a bit soggy :(
This location has a couple outdoor tables and is pleasant.“

“I was was in San Francisco and looking for something to eat and this place popped up and thank Jesus it did ..there burgers are amazing I'm still dreaming about the moment I took the first bite when I come back San Francisco I'm definitely going to come here again
Keep up the good work“

“It was late night order and I’ve never had a burger dog before but wanted to try since frisco fried out them on the scene back in the day. Ordered my door dash and couldn’t wait. As soon as they arrive I could smell the goodness so I take my pics and dive in.Burger Dog: Hefty on the meat, felt like it was more beef than an actual burger and I wanna say easier to eat. Only change I would add bacon and that’s my bad. Very good burger dog!Bacon Hot Dog: Butterflied Beef Dog with crispy bacon! Another hit.Very simple menu options but they hit it out the park. Would definitely double back to this spot to try them fresh.

Parking: It’s on 20th street so not impossible but keep your eyes open spots get taken fast

Kid-friendliness: Burgers, Hot Dogs, Fries I think so….

Wheelchair accessibility: It’s in San Francisco it has to be accessible“

“Tried a lot of bánh mi spots in SF, and this is the best! Recommend their combo and chicken. Great quality, portions, and under $10. They take cash and card, plus you can call ahead to order. Just make sure to order earlier in the day because they sell out fast!“

“They have the Best Burgers in the Bay Area❤️ The staff is very Friendly and Nice❤️❤️❤️“

“This food truck is run by genuinely friendly people who make the experience feel welcoming from the moment you order. I knew it was going to be good the moment I saw the line right before they opened. The portions are very generous, so definitely come hungry. It is a great spot with a late-night ambiance that makes for a satisfying, flavorful experience.“

“This is by far the best burger place in the area. The cashier that works nights, he is one of the reasons we love this place so much! Not only dose he always remember us but he remembers what sauce we want even after not going there for over 2 months!
They have the best fries! (remind me of fries from back home in new zealand) the philly and cheese steak is bomb 11/10! The banana shake too 11/10
There junior burger is bomb too!
Definitely recommend going here, there prices are on the more expensive side but it's understandable with how everything is now. It's still worth every dollar“

“Delicious & great food. & nice place“

“Patties are cooked medium. That is the default. But you can get other levels of done-ness if you ask nicely enough. The beef is tender and juicy, however it's cooked. Condiments and toppings are all top-notch. Good cheese selection. Fries? Cooked in tallow, as they should be. Crispy and delicious. You'll be missing out on something great if you don't get one of the malted milkshakes here.“

“Wow, this place is legit. Nicely smashed patties with a real crispy skirt. Fluffy, squishy bun. Just the right amount of toppings. Super flavorful. The shoestring fries were crispy and perfectly seasoned (they're cooked in tallow!) Definitely an A-tier smash burger.“

“Last Saturday we ordered a lot of food from the melt. The whole crew was working overtime and we all ordered multiple items and the crew absolutely killed it. Lady working the cashier was absolutely amazing. Sweetest lady ever. The cooks were amazing and they have a very good crew working. The only names I received were Mar, Janeka, Dom and Tone but everyone was incredible and we definitely will be back.“
