Charming Old School Burger Joint
My first visit to this restaurant was on a busy baseball game day, so I'd recommend avoiding game days if you prefer fewer crowds. The place has an old school charm that I absolutely loved. The service was great, with the lady taking orders being both nice and efficient.
I tried the burger and fries combo with added coleslaw. The burger bun was excellent, and the beef patties were good. My only suggestion regarding the burger is that they are heavy on the mustard, so be sure to ask for mayo if you like it.
The fries were above average and a good portion size. The coleslaw, which I believe was made in-house, was decent. Overall, it was a good experience, and I would go back again.

Surprisingly Good Burger!
First time here and I was not expecting the burger to be this good. It's a bit different from a traditional burger, but their bread choice for the burger is so GOOD! I will definitely be coming back when I find myself this close to the bridge.
Hats off gents. 🤤🤤🤤

Great Coffee, Meals, and Atmosphere
This is a great place to grab coffee and watch the waves, or to sit with friends and have a meal. The inside is nice and quiet, or you can enjoy the breezy outside. They also offer good combo deals on burgers, hotdogs, and more.

Great Affordable Bar with a View
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! It's a fun bar to be at before an event, and it's likely one of the last affordable places with good food and drinks. The patio on the water is great, the bar is easily accessible, and the food truly impressed me!

Fast Service, Good Food, Watch for Flies
My experience at this restaurant was largely positive, despite a minor issue. I found it to be a great stop with no line and incredibly fast service. The food was good and served as quickly as one can order.
The only drawback was the presence of flies.

Authentic SF Dig with Great Patio
I visited this restaurant because I'd never been and always passed by it. The location is very convenient, super close to my running trail. I enjoyed the nice large outdoor patio with lots of seating, which felt like a place people go for happy hour at work.
The chicken parm was filling and considered good comfort food, and the price was great too. However, the place is very self-service, where you get your food and eat it wherever. The wind was so strong that our food and napkins kept flying out of our plates and hands.
I wouldn't come just for the food. Overall, this was an authentic SF dig and felt like a nice visit for once.

Classic Pier Spot, Not Fancy
My experience at this classic spot on the pier was great. It's conveniently located close to the ballpark and Pier 39. This is not a super fancy place like many restaurants in the area, and I love it.

Delicious Burgers with a Beach View
My experience at this restaurant was largely positive, centered around the delicious food. I found it to be a good place to enjoy a burger while taking in the beautiful beach view. While there were some flies present, which detracted slightly from the atmosphere, the food itself was irresistible.
I ordered the double cheese burger, which came with sourdough bread, and it was excellent. The onion rings were also a standout – so good and fresh, costing only 6 dollars. It's an old and historical restaurant that truly amazed me!

Great Dive Bar Experience
My experience at this restaurant was a classic dive bar vibe! It's the kind of place where you can eat meat, drink beer, and watch sports – exactly what you'd expect from a staple in SF. It's a great place to hang out and have some fun.
I enjoyed the burger, which was good, and the bread was unique. The onion rings were crisp. Sitting outside offered lovely smells and views to accompany the meal.
Overall, it's a cool place.
