"Do yourself a favor and get the brunch burger at Causwells. If that’s a little too much for 11am, the rest of the morning menu isn’t super long but has everything you need: cocktails, eggs, salads, and a buttermilk biscuit side that is a necessity. Causwells is one of the more packed places on weekends in the Marina, with a bunch of outdoor tables that are usually full, too." - julia chen 1, lani conway, ricky rodriguez, patrick wong
"The friendly Marina bistro on the main Chestnut Street drag is frozen cocktail central (they're $10 during the afternoons). While you’re here, don’t pass on the opportunity to order their incredible, juicy, smash-style Americana burger, which is one of the best burgers in town and $21 at happy hour." - julia chen 1, lani conway, ricky rodriguez, patrick wong
"The brunch food at this Marina restaurant includes mini biscuits and gravy, chilaquiles, egg plates, and, yes, an awesome burger. There are two versions, and you need one of them on your table. The Americana is two smash-style patties with american cheese, some magic Thousand Island-y sauce, and pickles, while the brunch burger is one patty with cheese, bacon, and a fried egg. The keys to their success: fresh ground beef, and a sturdy but not hard (or soggy) bun." - julia chen 1, lani conway, ricky rodriguez, patrick wong
"A Marina restaurant often cited locally as having helped popularize smash-burger techniques; a Mission District burger operator specifically credited it for influencing his approach to the menu." - Paolo Bicchieri
"Causwells’ happy hour perhaps isn’t the most robust menu around, but it’s guaranteed the drinks will be unique, with barman Elmer Mejicanos designing the refreshments. The trio of $10 cocktails rotates but currently includes a banana slushee and the Causwells Martini. Add on some pull apart bread with dips ($10) or classic deviled eggs ($8). Hours: Monday through Sunday, 3 to 5 p.m." - Flora Tsapovsky
