Burger Littles - Review - San Francisco - The Infatuation

"Burger Littles, a food truck at Spark Social, now has a brick-and-mortar in Embarcadero Center. Here you can find the same straight-forward menu of smashburgers, fries, and shakes as the truck. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - Patrick Wong

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!

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.

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

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 :)

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

When you're in the area for an event or to meet up with friends, consider stopping by this hardworking food truck and show some love. This food truck is inside the Spark Social SF truck park with easy nearby parking and plenty of outdoor tables. Kids and pets friendly. Today, we decided to try some burgers and had a great experience at the Burger Littles food truck. John, the owner, provided excellent service with a smile and served us some deliciously stacked burgers and fries at an affordable price. The bun-to-patty ratio was perfect, and John's attention to detail shone through in the quality of his food. Everything tasted fresh. His fries are cut to order. John does not mess around with his burgers. Excellent quality. JUST BOMB!

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!

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!

Saw that there was a field of food trucks near the Chase Center and was craving a burger. The menu is simple with the necessities. One person is working the grill and making everything fresh upon ordering. I got the Double Fancy with cheese and it was a very solid burger. Line wasn't too long on a Sunday afternoon, but I've seen it build up. Diving deeper in the burger, it is a classic smash with a pillowy soft potato bun and toasted edges. Reminiscent of a McDouble but certainly much higher quality. Will say that my one wish is for there to be more meat to improve the meat to bun ratio. Otherwise, one of the better options at Spark Social SF.

Ok Yelpers, you did it again. Hungry for a smash burger I followed your advice to this truck and boy am I glad I did. I ordered a double with cheese, plain fries and a can of sprite. This is the kind of burger you think about when you idealize a perfect burger. The bun was fresh kind of potato/brioche thing that was not greasy or dense, light and capable of not disintegrating as you go on your burger journey. The patties were perfectly cooked with a little crunch on the outside and juicy toward the center, I like pickles and these were not too thin. The burger had American cheese and was perfectly dressed, that is it did not need any extra condiments. The fries tasted like russet potato, very fresh and no hint of old fry grease or stale crunchy, read old, fries. They came out with either no or very little salt which was to my taste and were perfect with a little bit of ketchup. Quite a standard of exceptional quality and when I told them I was there because they were recommended on Yelp I got an enthusiastic thank you for coming out along with fist bump! I did not eat it at the food truck park, I took it to go but I have been there and it's better when it's not windy. Either way I'm definitely going out of my way to go back for a burger even if there is a little bit of wind.

A totally solid no frills burger. Just a good gooey beefy thing. Get the double fancy (that just comes with ketchup and tomato). The fries felt a little undercooked but that might have just been the batch I got. This is a great addition to Spark Social.

I stopped by spark social for some food as I reside close by. I nearly went to another truck for a burger but I noticed Burger Littles' red truck that wasn't there before. I saw the publicized review (from SF Standard?) on the window and it was enough for me to give it a shot. This really is one of the best burgers I've had, in town. It's not messy nor is it too dry. I ordered the standard cheeseburger, no alterations and everything on, along with plain fries. The smash style patty stood out in flavor and balanced out extremely well with the cheese, onions, pickles, and light lather of mustard. Their buns never got soggy and provided the right amount of ratio to the star ingredients in between. The fries were also fresh cut and crispy with coarse ground salt and pepper. It's as original and classic of a burger as you can get. The owner was also friendly and provided prompt service. I will most definitely be back. Burger Littles has earned its reputation and spot within spark social.

I was craving a chopped cheese and I went here instead. They're known for no bacon, no ketchup burger. The bread was toasty and so so soft. Their meat made from ground chuck beef. It was crispy and juicy at the same time. I don't really like mustard but it worked really well. The French fries were made with real potato. Great service from food truck. I will be back.

When it comes to food and I'm on my lunch. I like my food simple but tastes good at the same time. This is just the spot. When to the counter and was approached by the owner who is super nice. He asked me what my favorite burger joint was and I said " In n out" He said when his burger comes out to give my honest opinion. Man oh man. This was hard I'd say tie. But I highly recommend this joint if you're in the area or out the area. In n out has that fast food chain taste ( if you know what I mean) And burger little gives you that "makes you feel at a bbq cook out" Just nostalgic to me. The burger tastes HIGH quality. It was super Juicy. It was interesting that the pickles onions tomatoes were underneath the meat. It held everything together!

I've eaten a lot of burgers from Sparks Social in the past several years, and Burger little has definitely stood out for me. Their burgers tasted fresher/ homemade then anything I had at the park before. Also you can't beat the price here! I was expecting a little burger but it definitely wasn't little. If you want a quality burger for a good price check them out.

Mmm perfectos y bien crujientes el que muy bueno sabor que tiene por la razón. Que maltean. El queso junto con la hamburguesa. El pan.

Classic burger with no extra bell and whistles. Juicy, tender and flavorful. Owner was nice enough to throw in a drink with my meal. Do yourself a favor, if you ever see their truck at lands end or other food truck gatherings go there first before it becomes the next big thing.
