Burger Restaurant Sam’s of San Francisco Burger Opening in Midtown, Atlanta | Eater Atlanta

"An Anthony Bourdain‑hailed San Francisco burger institution is opening a roughly 2,000‑square‑foot Midtown Atlanta outpost on the ground floor of the Sixty 11th Apartments at 60 11th Street this fall. The family‑run spot, founded in 1966 by Mike (aka “Sam”) and long known as a late‑night hole‑in‑the‑wall for burgers and pizza, will offer a “hybrid” menu modeled on the original North Beach location: an estimated 20–50 burger varieties, nearly 200 sandwiches, about 50 local and Bay Area beers on tap, and wines from Napa and Sonoma, along with vegan and gluten‑free options. Burgers are made from organic, grass‑fed meat that’s freshly ground and hand‑pattied, and the owners emphasize an inclusive, welcoming ethos; extended late hours (potentially until 3 a.m.) aim to make it a late‑night alternative to longtime Atlanta institutions." - Beth McKibben
