One of the best (if not best) hamburger in SF. BOOM. There, I said it. It's a simple grind & well seasoned. With that said, you don't need to add anything else to this burger, you animal.

Pro tip: you can eat your food next door at the Tempest! The burger and chicken & waffles were great, but the stars of the show were the potato skins filled with pork belly, topped with quail egg!

they give enough garlic fries to feed you, your dogs, your dogs' friends, and your dogs' friends' dogs. dont feed dogs fries though, so find some friends to share with. oh, and their burger is yummy.

Small window to order from but very friendly staff. They are open till 1am. Their chicken sandwich is the best is SF.

Very cool bar with pool Billard and TV. Interesting mixture of people here. Very cheap for SF.Unfortunately when I was there kitchen was closed, but I was allowed to order UberEATS:)

Had the chicken in waffle with the sriracha syrup and all I've gotta say is I'll be back. The food is great, the place smells awesome, and they're open super late.

Get the Broccoli and Cheese Croquettes - I don't even like broccoli that much but I loved this small dish. It comes in this amazing cauliflower / cheese sauce and resembles mac-n-cheese balls

Amazing burger. Great local beer and cider selection. Met one of the owners, super nice guy. We will definitely be back.
Pawel ChrzanFebruary 21, 2017
It might be the best burger I have ever had... and I am big on burgers. Place feels shady and underground which actually gives it more of authentic rough feel. Super cool

Very friendly staff with good recommendations, you can have the daily special if not sure what to have. Be patient long queue but worth it 👍🏻

The burger is unbelievable - best in town. It's definitely a must 🍔😍😱
Chloé MayerMay 10, 2013
This place is GREAT! The chicken sandwich is phenomenal - and they have a nice little rotating menu. From that we got the hush puppies...which as a girl from the South, I really enjoyed!
Melissa DagdaganNovember 1, 2016
My goodness, the rice crispy battered chicken tenders are amazing! Get them if you see them!

Very tasty food to go or you can eat it in the next door bar. Loved the potato skin, buffalo wings and the chicken & waffle ❤️
Charley DobbsFebruary 24, 2016
This restaurant is pretty good! Came year today to grab a quick brunch! And I’m so amazed with the good food, with a pretty neat and decent price too.
Roy ChenMarch 22, 2017
Falafel patty melt...what a concept. Excellent. Would've ordered the burger because it sounded great but wanted to eat on the move.
David SteinOctober 10, 2015
Great burgers and garlic fries. You can bring your food next door to tempest and grab a beer.
Brook ShelleyAugust 22, 2016
The fresh coconut juice is an actual coconut, which rules. The chicken sandwich and garlic fries are wonderful. Great late night spot.
Stephanie WeiJanuary 14, 2017
Idk why they bother asking how you'd like your burger cooked, but my box burger was cooked well done and still delicious
Sarah StrehlerMarch 2, 2016
Best burger and open late! A little hard to find though, it's down an alley near an iffy area of town. Go with a friend.
_February 7, 2015
Delicious box burger and potato skins! Reasons priced!
Sarah OSeptember 30, 2014
Great late night food. Falafel and potato skins with pork belly was bomb. You walk up and order. They have Square. I hope to be back.
Colin LeeMay 27, 2017
The potato skins and rice crispy were delicious. No sitting area besides the next door bar. It's close to the intercontinental hotel
S PlisskenMarch 25, 2013
I always think garlic fries are a good idea and then end up disappointed and wishing I had gotten regular ones. Not here, these were the best I've ever had.
Julien GFebruary 15, 2019
Definitely a must for late night snacks. Try the chicken nuggets with buffalo sauce.
Shimi LidermanFebruary 26, 2016
One of the best burgers I've ever had! Garlic fries are amazing, and the potato skins are to die for!!!
An ShengJuly 17, 2017
The mac and cheese egg rolls are 🔥. The wait can be a bit long though
Pam ☕️ ODecember 8, 2016
Hidden lunch spot. Come by for some tostadas and an early beer o' clock.
Trevor HillMay 29, 2016
Incredible hole-in-the-wall cheeseburger. Bring it to Tempest next door for maximum fun
George BradleyMarch 28, 2016
Just try it! Love the food. I am a fan of this spot. Highly recommend

Burger is on point. Order and go next door for a beer while you wait for the food.

Alyssa WJuly 14, 2017
Solid burgers for lunch time. During the day, you order inside the bar.
Karina van SchaardenburgFebruary 6, 2013
The avocado/cucumber/bacon/lettuce sandwich on sourdough is a delightful party of flavors and textures.
Stephanie LayOctober 22, 2014
Great burgers, the only downside is standing in the alley at night with drunks and hobos surrounding you.
Michael 🍷 ElmgreenFebruary 8, 2017
Dope vibe, divey burgers, late night grub.
Jo ApplebySeptember 10, 2015
Potato skins. Best. Chunks of pork belly and quail eggs sunny side up.
Mikahla VicinoFebruary 13, 2017

Now that that Adam Jo's Pork Sando is gone, the best play is the burger, which is sin on a bun.

They sell fresh coconut here and they literally use a drill to poke a hole... !
Mish BMay 6, 2013
Garlic fries + box burger = $10! And right next to Tempest!!

Good late night
Dor ShoefMay 23, 2019
Honestly I don't understand the high rating. I rarely rate places, but I've had some expectations after reading the tips. I had the box burger and it was mediocre at best.
Sal CainoJune 17, 2016
