"One of the most advanced takeout windows might be the one at Creator, the tech-forward robot burger restaurant in SoMa." - Luke Tsai

"$6 machine-made burgers: That’s the pitch at this perhaps game-changing food technology company/restaurant Creator. These burgers aren’t touched by human hands until you take a bite —instead, meat is ground and placed right on the griddle. Creator just opened to walk-ins after a ticket-only soft opening, so now it’s easy to swing by and give it a try." - Stefanie Tuder, Ellen Fort, Caleb Pershan

"Creator, a new SoMa restaurant serving $6 robot-prepared burgers, will be the first business to serve indoor-grown greens from Plenty. Creator’s new salad is made with a spring mix of five lettuces from Plenty’s vertical farm in South San Francisco. It’s on the menu now, and at $4, that makes for a very futuristic $10 lunch combo." - Caleb Pershan

We visited on a Friday around 1 and there was a <5 min wait. The robot seems to work pretty quickly. The burgers are pretty good, they’ve clearly put thought into each step of the process. The patty was too cooked for my liking; I would have preferred a rarer cook for a patty of this thickness (not thick). Maybe in the future they will add a feature to select doneness but for now everything is well done and bordering on dry. The dryness is exacerbated by the shredded (rather than sliced) cheese. Prices were good (except fries were really expensive) and the restaurant was exceptionally clean. Looking forward to where this robot is headed in the future.

Delicious hamburgers made by robots with very affordable price. Friendly staff taking your order and quick payment. Really fun to watch your hamburger is made by Robert one after another. Sides are delicious too and nice selection of soft drinks and draft beer. Lastly sparkling water is free, which I like.

Went to there on Friday at 11:30 AM (opening time), so I bought my burger (Creator vs. The World)and lemonade without any messy situation. In fact, their serving speed isn’t bad maybe because of robot. However, basically, here is so crowded, so my recommendation is go there around 11:30 AM or after 1 PM. Their burger robot is funny, and it’s fun to watch it. Lol. Burger’s taste is just fine. For me, beef patty is over cooked and sauce is too strong, but it’s maybe depending on each person’s opinion. Also, French fries were not warm enough. I was thinking to put three star here, but you know they’re very new burger shop, and they will be nicer than current condition. In addition, the burger robot is interesting to see. Therefore, I put four stars here.

Very interesting, modern, and pleasing. Burger itself was tasty but not very memorable. It felt a tiny bit stale. That said, I enjoyed the concept quite a bit, and they made the whole space very easy to enjoy. Oddly, the most memorable food was the strawberry rhubarb apple cider vinegar fountain drink. Superb. I got the sense that they were into good ingredients and sourcing, including their tasteful leaf-shaped compostable serving box. That said, the messaging wasn't as strong as, say, VeganBurg, who boldly proclaim their commitment to that. Try it out! BE HERE

More of a cool proof of concept than a great dining experience right now. Burgers were pretty good. Fries are just ok. Gets very crowded due to only being open for lunch 3 days a week.

Burger robot! Super tasty. Friendly staff. Tried two different burgers both very different. Will come back to try them all. Very modern atmosphere. Unique and delicious beverages. still looks like that equipment is under development several guys were working on it while I was here. I'm sure this is what the future will probably look like.all the produce all the ingredients were very very fresh and interesting to see them cut right when they were about to be put on a burger. Definitely will be coming back.

From some of the reviews I'd read, I was expecting to be blown away. Well, I wasn't. It was a good burger, but there are better burgers within a short walk of Creator (at Marlowe and Garaje, to name just two). On the other hand, Creator is a good value at $6 a burger, and as I said, the burgers are tasty. I had the Recreator; my wife had the test burger of the day, which was a variation on the Tumami Burger. Both were good, but we both preferred the Recreator. Fries were thinner than I usually prefer, but nonetheless nicely crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Service was friendly and helpful.
