Editorial Review for BurgerMeister – by Joanna Currier

In Short
Burger lovers could spend days sampling every winner on this menu, grilled to individual specs and heaped with gourmet fixings. The chili, avocado, and mushroom/onion choices are popular, as is the cheeseburger topped with applewood-smoked bacon. Fries include roasted garlic, chili, seasoned curly, or curly all-of-the-above (the regular fries are good, too). Vegetarians can choose from three options, including portabello.

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

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
