Burger Littles

I used to love going to Burger Littles when it was a food truck in Spark Social, and am so excited it has a storefront now. Amazing smash burgers with generous fries portions. The owner is also very nice. There is plenty of outdoor seating directly in front of the store with a nice view of the ferry building.

This was a really tasty smash burger, and I loved the crispy edges. The grilled onions on the 'fancy burger' were delicious, and the portion of French fries was really big. Will definitely be back!

Guys. This smashburger is so delicious! I hate pickles but I will eat them every single time with this burger - it just melts nicely in your mouth! Perfect for an on-the-go meal. The owner, John, is very nice & friendly. 11/10 recommend!

Remarkably good smashburger. Comes with 2 patties - smashed to a couple flat discs - cheese, mustard, pickle, white onion, on a fluffy but sturdy bun. Needs nothing less, nothing more. Great layered balance of flavors and textures. Owner is a nice guy and a great culinarian.

We came to SF for the day and found the shop. Simple menu- which we love. We all loved the fries 🍟. Definitely will come again. *got a photo 📸 in the middle of our dining*

Taste is good, I'll have to try the fancy one. Good place if you have a craving for a smash patty. When I went there were only two workers so you might wait a bit if there's a line. Classic vibe of a burger joint. Orders are made fresh after ordering. No inside seating, there is a standing bar if you want to eat inside. Embarcadero center has tables outside so it's fine if it's a nice day. They do have seating on the inside of embarcadero center as well.

The burgers were super tasty, the fries portions were SUPER generous, and I love that there are benches and tables outside! Would love it if they had more condiments but they are still getting situated! Will definitely be back!

Fantastic smash burger, my son said it was one of the best he’s ever eaten. Great fries to go along with everything else, we’ll definitely be back.

Got a double cheeseburger today. Forgot to ask for pickles. Added sautéed onions (part of the fancy option) Operator was very adamant about cleaning the grill between each order, so each order was made fresh and effort/experience put into each step in the process. Burger was great. Crispy edges and juicy in the middle. Maybe more is less on the sautéed onions, so took some out. Fries were super crispy. They were blonde but cooked perfectly throughout. Would go back.

When I heard that Burger Littles was opening up a couple blocks away from work, I was excited, because their burgers from their food truck at Spark Social is really good. I got the double cheeseburger with a side of fries. At first glance the cheeseburger and fries were thin and crispy. The taste is where it lost me. The fries were too heavily salted and the burger was dry. Maybe I came on a bad day, because from experience their burger from the food truck was juicy. I did notice that the patties had already been smashed before being put on the grill, and the cook smashed it even more, so maybe that's why it tasted dry, idk. Service was great and the place was nice and clean, kind of giving old school vibes. I'll come back another day and give it another try.

Stopped by while I was walking along the embarcadero. Fancy burger: B- Since it's a smash burger I would recommend definitely getting a double. I got a single so it wasn't that much beef. Good amount of cheese and it forms a little cheese skirt. Classic fries: A Like these fries a lot. They're skinny and well salted with sea salt.

I finally got the chance to have lunch yesterday at this Burger Littles located at 4 Embarcadero Center. I ordered the Fancy Burger Double Patty and a Diet Pepsi. I was so surprised that my burger was not "little" but actually of a decent size. My burger was so juicy and delicious! The 2 beef patties were grilled to order and the 2 slices of fresh tomatoes, sliced grilled onions, melted cheese and the very soft bun made my burger so tasty and a sheer delight to eat. I need come back here to try their Meat & Potato Fries. I would highly recommend this place if ever you are in the Justin Herman Plaza area.

Went to Burger Littles for national cheeseburger day last week and was blown away. It's the ultimate smash burger, with tons of patty hanging off the buns. Super crisp and caramelized onions were a great addition. Fries were also a must grab. Freshly fried, nicely salted, and very addictive. Such a great lunch break spot, although next time I may opt in for eating there vs. bringing my gluttony to my cubicle hahaha

What I like about Burger Littles is that they make a pretty nice smash burger. I'm pretty new to the smash burger trend, so I don't consider myself a connoisseur. Theirs is nice and crispy, and for a thin burger, it has a lot of concentrated taste. I found the fries to be just meh though. So I downgraded my score by a single star.

I got so tired of burgers getting bigger vertically and harder to bite. Then came the smash burger trend where burgers got bigger horizontally, so you just nibble at the sides like a meat frisbee. Very simple menu, but good quality food. Double Cheeseburger: Pretty much everything that a smash burger should be. Thin, crispy, hanging off the edges. I saw them put it on the grill, pre-smashed in raw patty form. They must be very careful, since any thinner and it might fall apart. Cheese adds a great amount of indulgence. Double Fancy Burger: Apparently what makes it fancy is grilled onions and tomatoes. The grilled onions seemed only partially grilled, since they were mushy and moist. The tomato slices also felt kinda mushy and cold. Overall, the fancy felt like a downgrade. Meat & Potato: This was hot mess, a hot delicious mess! It's pieces of a burger, pieces of cheese, lots of onions, sauce and fries all tossed together. The toss is crucial, so it's evenly distributed instead of everything on top and fries on the bottom. Classic Fries: Pretty standard. Nothing iconic like McDonald's fries, but better than In-n-Out fries.

Burger Littles makes my favorite smash burger - the patties are thin and crisp, well seasoned with excellent beefy flavor, and flattened to a crisp. The fries are good but not super special. The double burger is highly recommended and is very satisfying. They recently moved from a little food cart at Spark Social over to a permanent brick-and-mortar location at Embarcadero 4. Everything is made to order and the service is quick and friendly.

Simple smash burgers done well. The burgers are crispy and the fries are pretty good. You have only a few options for what you want on the menu, but this place nails the burger really well. I got a fancy burger and my friend got a regular cheeseburger. They both came out great, with the smash burger being crispy and flavorful. They make it to order so it's all hot and fantastic the moment it lands in your hands. Interior is very barebones, with just a counter to place your order and no seating, but enough room to stand around if you want to wait for your order to be ready. No other service apart from grabbing your burger once it's ready. There is however, seating all over the Embarcadero Center (both sheltered and outside).

This how you do it crispy edges. Mustard, onion and pickles. That's it. The service fast. Good location. Prices fair for location. I'd come back. Too much salt on fries other than that good bite.

So glad more eateries are opening up in this area and was really excited to learn thar a smash burger spot opened up within walking distance of my office. With a name like Burger Littles, I was imaging slider-size portions. I ordered a Fancy Single Burger and Classic Fries, totaling $16.29. It was a straight-forward burger only having a thin patty with crispy edges, a slice of melted American cheese, raw onion, a few pickles and mustard...far from what one would describe as "fancy" as that's a basic cheeseburger IMO. I think they didn't have my order right. Fries were underwhelming, barely seasoned and not crispy. Despite this so-so first experience, I may return to give them another try. They've only been open about a week at this location and may need some time to getting things straightened out.

The interior may be small & somewhat bare bones, but i assure you the smashburgers are PHAT. Got a double thinking the patties would be In N Out-sized, but boy was i wrong (the photo can speak to that.) The "fancy burger" included perfectly caramelized onions that leveled up the burger. No seating inside but plenty of tables outside near the padel courts.

There's this little burger spot hidden in the corner at the 4 Embarcadero that intrigued my interest. I think I kinda got there at the wrong time because the staff seemed to be leaving for the day and left the cook all alone. But one of the guys took my order before he split. I love the concept of smash burgers because when done right the burgers are very flavorful and has a nice crisp texture to it. What I got here was a paper thin patty that could have given me a paper cut. Not even sure I even got an 1/8 pounder so $9 might have been a steep price to pay. The shoe string fries were cooked nice and crunchy which is all I can say about the place. I was hoping to find a place to give Super Duper or the Melt a run for its money but I was mistaken. 2.5 stars for me.

Tasty smash burgers! The burger was very flavorful and crispy. The portion of the fries was very generous and good for sharing! The service was quick and the staff were super friendly! The space is clean. There's no seating inside but there's plenty of tables outside. Great addition to have in the Embarcadero center!

New burger spot in the Embarcadero! Burger was good. I liked it. The fries could've used a signature sauce, but the idea is there. Service was great. Very clean inside. Outdoor seating only!

Smashed delicious burger! If you like crispy, smashed burger this is the spot. Burger was overflowing the bun. *chef's kiss* Fancy style is with grilled onions, tomatoes, pickles. Fries were double fried and crispy. Definitely the best burger around the area. Take-out only but not a problem with tons of seating nearby.

I loved this place when I went the first few times earlier this year, but this past Saturday was a bit of a disappointment. I'll chalk it up to cold winter night but really it was not what I remembered it to be. Fries are no longer thickly cut... wasn't seasoned well. Was just normal fries that you'd find in the frozen section. My Fancy Burger's grilled onions were cold. Something about the bun seemed a bit off but I couldn't put my finger on it. I'm hoping this was a bit of a blip and not how it actually is. I had take my friends from out of town hyping this place up but was honestly pretty disappointed. I'm downgrading from a 5/5 to a 4/5 (more like 3.5) and hoping for a better experience next time.

Burger Littles is the best food truck burger I've ever had. Something about their no frills approach to hamburgers and cheeseburgers makes them taste super good and completely unique at the same time. If you're looking for juicy seasoned paddies, perfectly melted cheese, warm buns with toasted edges, and a balanced combination of toppings and condiments, Burger Littles is the food truck you want to go to. The food truck is located at Sparked Social, in Mission Bay in San Francisco. It's a nice closed off area primarily used for a variety of social gatherings. Street parking can be a little tough at lunch and dinner time, but there are large lots for UCSF and Kaiser nearby that are easily walkable especially during off peak hours. Inside Sparked, there is plenty of tables and seating in common areas and in front of some specific food trucks. It's never hard to find somewhere to sit and enjoy your food with company. In terms of service, the people working the truck have always been fast and friendly. They don't rush people looking at the menu, and are always happy to answer questions. I talked about the burger already, but I also found their fries to be really good. I do not like a soft french fry, so I was super happy when I got a whole plate of fries that were toasty and slightly crunchy on the edges. The seasoning was good too. Decent assortment of drinks to go along with everything. My recommendation for burger lovers is to spring for the "fancy" burger, which includes tomatoes, pickles, and grilled onions in addition to some less basic condiments. I am a documented hater of onions on burgers, but that just goes to show how good this burger is - Burger Littles is the only place I'll get onions on my burger. It's that good.

Followed Burger Littles to their new location in the Embarcadero Center. Happy to have made the drive for their delicious burgers. Ordered double cheeseburgers and fancy cheeseburgers with fries. Nothing little about these burgers! Delicious juicy burgers with crispy seasoned fries. Service was fast and friendly. Definitely worth the drive.

I dont know if the management has changed, but this ppace used to be super good. Its been over 40 minutes waiting for 1 burger, 0 communication from staff, and all around really not that busy.

The fries portions are AMAZING and GINORMOUS! The burger was super juicy and tasty, haven't had a smashed burger in a while so I was impressed. Excited for a yummy burger option in the embarcadero center!

Never seems to disappoint. Solid smash burger, decent price ($6 for a single). This is a no frills joint so don't expect patties with all the fix-ins. The hamburger I got today had raw onions (which added a nice crunch), pickles and mustard on a single patty. It hit the spot with the simple but delicious ingredients. And this being my second visit, it's pretty consistent. Today, they threw in some free fries (might've made extra). Appreciate the quick service! When I'm in the mood for a burger by work, this is my spot.

Burgers are juicy and seasoned well. The fries are a bit underwhelming though. They came unseasoned and too soft for my liking. They're very similar to Five Guys fries. Everything is really affordable and the wait isn't long for most Sunday afternoons.

The review is long overdue. John the owner, who works hands on and is there daily, makes the best burgers in SF. I wished he was closer to my neighborhood. Hopefully he opens up another location in the sunset or Richmond district soon. If you're in mission bay stop by and get the burger you won't be disappointed, in fact you may just get addicted like us.

Food: - Double Cheeseburger: a high quality smash burger. What sets this burger apart from others is the crust. These 3.5oz patties have an amazing crust that adds a crunch and great depth of flavor - Fries: these were okay. If you love fluffy fries, then these are right up your alley I'm glad my friend introduced this spot to me in Spark Social. They serve a high quality burger perfect for a hangout with friends in Spark Social. One thing worth noting is the wait. It could be a one off time, but it took a while for me to place my order despite there being only one person in front of me. Most notably, it was the time in between the person in front of me ordering and when I ordered. Time from order to receiving food was a normal wait time, but the long wait in between taking orders did throw me off. It's likely due to the fact that it's a 2 man team. Nevertheless, if you're craving a burger in mission bay, this is a great option to consider.

Friendly staff and quick service. This was probably one of the best burgers I've had in SF! Seemed like the place was still opening when I went. Could use a trash bin inside the shop.

This was a really tasty smash burger, and I loved the crispy edges. The grilled onions on the 'fancy burger' were delicious, and the portion of French fries was really big. Will definitely be back!

Spark Social's very own no-frills burger joint! Potato bun plus a double melted cheese patty, fresh pickles and a slice of tomato - classic burg! However, it was deceivingly heavy and the fries, while fresh, needed a touch of salt. Patty itself was solid though! Overall it's a great picnic seating area with equal parts shade and sun - would recommend walking around the corner for a fresh pint.

Checked out the SPARK Social Food Park and there were a lot of choices. With the help of Yelp I chose Burger Littles as my first stop. Got the cheeseburger double smash patties and classic fries. They were delicious. The food was ready in a few minutes and my hunger was satisfied.

Town's End went through a couple of iterations after Mary, but the current version has landed squarely in the spot of what was needed in this South Beach neighborhood. You can go healthy, you can go ridiculously over the top with the Warrior special, the choice is yours. Great, comfortable versions of many favorites and it is just a really cool spot with fantastic tables on the sidewalk with Bay views. Service is like your friend, and they have the best orange juice in town!

Good food decent price very FRESH. The asian dude is the owner i'm assuming? Makes everything with care and detail handmade. It's a flat smash burger heads up incase you were expecting something else. Fresh saute'd onions good pickles and fresh veggies. Fries were fresh and the fry oil wasn't overused. Hard to find it's under the staircase. Clean place and chill staff

Burger Littles is bringing it back... Before bougie 24k crowned burgers. Before made for IG/TikTok burgers. Before gimmicky burgers...*ahem* ramen burger. Before crazy burger combos [that work]...pb&j + bacon burger, anyone? I'm an Equal Opportunity Burger Lover but a CLASSIC burger is where's it's at...where the MEAT takes centerstage. While at Spark Social, I spotted Burger Littles, a new food truck. We had just eaten MOMO's bàn miàn dry noodles but the prices were reasonable so decided to give this new food truck a try. Opening last week, Burger Littles is a permanent food truck at Spark Social (located across the beer garden tables). M E N U * Burgers, pb&j sammie, grilled cheese, fries, and shakes. Bottled water and soda available. Nearly everything is made in-house except the burger buns (Martin's) and ketchup (will be made in-house in the future). Angus patties are house-ground and fries are hand-cut. Room for improvement: List all burger fixings on the menu; i.e. "Fancy" cheeseburger includes caramelized onions not mentioned on the menu. F O O D * Fancy Cheeseburger w/ ketchup, tomato (Double-$11) // 4.5 STARS --Requested medium rare (these are smash-style burgers but the owner said, he'll try) --They were out of tomatoes --Includes caramelized onions The 3.5 oz beef patties were beefy, hella juicy, and not overly seasoned so you can taste the natural beef in all its glory. Still slightly pink in the center so yay! The melty cheese enhanced the rich, deliciousness while the caramelized onions added sweetness and the tangy pickles cut through the meatiness. The pillowy soft potato buns held everything together to the last bite. It was a bomb classic burger so why not 5 stars? Instead of ketchup, there was a heavy-handed smear of mustard (I'm not a mustard person). * Hamburger w/ onion, pickles, mustard (Double-$10) --Requested medium rare Friend gave it a thumbs up. * Classic Fries ($4 x2) Hot, crunchy, and well-seasoned. Their double-fried to a golden crunchiness. We ordered another round...see below for deets. S E R V I C E Hella fast service (no line at the time). Quoted 6 minutes, our order was ready in 4 minutes. My friend wanted another order of fries but wanted them "light fry" the way In-N-Out does it. I asked the owner if this was possible and he said, unfortunately, it may not be since they already do a single fry during prep. Returned to our table let my friend know, but they said, it was fine to order it "as is" (double-fried). The owner felt bad and tried to give us the second order on the house. We refused and paid. Minutes later, he delivered the fries to our table and made the light fry request happen! I like my fries extra crunchy but I really enjoyed the light fry because the potato-y flavor came through more. A M B I A N C E Huge, spacious food truck park with plenty of open-air seating, tent seating, and lounge areas. There's fire-pits and TVs. P A R K I N G Beware parking meters go until 10 pm! Overall, Burger Littles is a great addition to Spark Social. Yes, there's a handful of other burgers food trucks there but if you want a simple classic burger that HITS and satisfies your carnivore cravings, Burger Littles is where it's at.

Bright takeout location at EC4 that offers smash burgers, fries and fountain drinks. They have some simple items like PB&J or grilled cheese for kids. The burger was so delicious, crispy edges that overflowed the toasted bun. Fries were crispy and nicely salted too. Service was good and the kitchen was open so you can see them making your food.

Great no-frills burger joint in the Embarcadero center, right across from the Vaillancourt Fountain. Simple menu, no chairs, no plates, great execution. Burgers are smash-style, but smashed to the point that they're wider than the bun, so your first bite is pleasantly beef-forward. I'll be back!

Solid cheese burger. I was surprised at the style of the burger thinner Pattie and it curled at the end. Very cool concept. Great burger taste no extra sauce blah blah. The other surprise is the taste of the fries. Very good. ! Seasoned salt and pepper just right and you can tell the oil is fresh. Loved them as much as the burger! When you can eat fries without ketchup you know they are good

Their simple burger is amazing! The bun is the best part, feels like shake shack but much more filling. I love that their menu is not overwhelming and you just get a solid burger. Great addition to Embarcadero Center!

I wasn't sure if I'd like this place, but it was pretty good. The burger was moist and had grilled onions.

This is probably the best tasting and cheapest burger that you'll be able to find in this area. The menu is limited to burgers and fries, so ordering is a breeze. Food comes out pretty quick. I got myself a fancy single cheeseburger and fries. The fancy comes with ketchup, grilled onions, and tomatoes. The potato buns were nice and soft, and the beef patties were juicy. Although I do wish the grilled onions were a bit more caramelized. Other than that, it's what I would want my typical burger to taste like. The fries need to be worked on, though. They were nicely cut and seasoned but were pretty limp and slightly underdone. Maybe upgrading to Kennebec potatoes, double frying, or longer soaking times are needed to get better fries. All in all, this is a great food truck at Spark Social.

Burger Little is sooo good -- honestly might be the best burger in SF. It's one of those places you walk by and just have to stop. The new location right across from Embarcadero is perfect. Super easy to swing by, and every time I go, I leave happy (and full). John is the best -- super friendly, always on it, just good vibes all around. The service is fast, the burgers are next-level, and it's hard not to crave it constantly. If you haven't been yet, go. You'll get it. Keep it up :)

I was able to try burger little today and have to say these smash burgers was the best smash burger I ever had. The meat was smashed thin and crispy and the fries were crispy almost like Mc Donald French fries. I had the double patty burger. Only feedback I have is it's a bit oil but overall it's a yummy smash burger. I also was able to meet the owner - John ! He was very friendly.

Decent smash burgers from this food truck. I got a double cheeseburger from the truck, they were out of fries. It's basic with just cheese, tomato and ketchup. Nothing fancy, nothing special. A little pricey, but compared to most other locations it's actually decent. It does take a while to cook (all to order) so just be aware and patient.

Burgers. I love burgers. How tight packed they are, stuck together like they want to be together. I only wish my marriage was the same way. I have court in an hour to continue fighting for custody of my kids, not going well, but you know what is going well? Burger littles! HAHA! Literally so good man, chomp chomp chomp is what I do to burger littles. I only wish my own little ones were as guaranteed as burger littles. The vibe in this establishment is very beefy! Get it? Beefy, like a burger? haha I can be so funny sometimes. My ex wife doesn't think so, though. Her opinion does not matter though, but Burger Littles does! I got their itty bitty bite sized burgerino. It was very small but very good! I literally inhaled that thing man. Haha! Not really, I bit it a couple times. Anyways, I should get ready for court by getting a little burger! Bye bye!

Ordered a single fancy burger with fries - didn't realize it was a smashburger but not a problem to me! Loved the fries - simple nicely salted and crisp. The burger filled me up and I was satisfied after finishing my meal. Lots of outside seating surrounding my other food and drink trucks.

Great classic smash burger and fries at Sparks. It's prefect with a beer or cider and to hang out for the day with friends.

The food was good and the staff was friendly. The benchs outside have a good view of the ferry building.

Great burgers!! Always great customer service. The owner John has been super nice to me and my friends.

Tried this burger spot after a glowing review from a coworker. A few choice phrases came to mind when tucking into this burger: Fire.. lit.. slaps.. Party in mouth, bomb.dot.com Hella good FOOD -- the burger is the absolute star of this show -Fresh daily-home-ground angus chuck (hyphens on hyphens). -Not smashed but seared hard for a nice crust with juices aflowing -Paired with melty American cheese, just ripe tomato, sliced white onion. -Home-made mustard, pickles, and soon ketchup -Sandwiched between Martin's potato rolls. Holds up well. Sops up juice. Get more napkins As shear majority of things are so caringly chosen, assembled and/or house-made, the quality of the burger definitely shows through. I gotta say that the build of the burger, onion and tomato showed that the owner pays attention to detail. Excellent ratio, no slippage. I haven't tried the malt-milks and the fries, but I've heard good things. VALUE -- We tasted the value in every bite. Hands down, best burger -- in value and taste -- at SPARK. TIPS -- -Located near the South West corner of SPARK -- walk past the bus on the left side and keep walking towards. -Super kid friendly -- IKEA high chairs provided by SPARK -beware of the bittersweet ending. Sweet - you've eaten such an excellent burger. Bitter - you've finished eating such an excellent burger... and you kinda want another one but you shouldn't... or should you? CONCLUSION -- classic burger of the highest quality. You won't get a little burger from Burger Littles. We'll be back, hungry!

Burger Littles is the go-to spot for a burger! I hadn't tried a smashed burger before coming here--and wow, what a game-changer. The food is incredibly fresh, the space is spotless, and the fries are top-notch. Plus, I've been missing a good old-fashioned fountain soda, and they've got it! Can't wait to come back with more friends and coworkers to enjoy more of their delicious offerings. Thank you Embarcadero Center for adding to my list of favorite lunch and dinner spots!

An incredible burger that's always cooked perfectly and balanced with the right amount of fixings. I've been here a few times and it never gets old. Can't wait for next time!
