"Fans of beer, burgers, and the beach, listen up: Maillards is opening inside Two Pitchers Brewing in the Outer Sunset. Currently a weekly farmers market stall, the smashburger spot will serve their crispy beef patties alongside fruit radlers (if this crossover sounds familiar, you might be thinking of theLovely’s-Two Pitchers collab in Uptown Oakland). We look forward to easier access to their fantastic burgers." - Julia Chen
"The smashburger at Maillards isn’t easy to get your hands on—but any effort spent tracking it down is well worth it. The patties (always go for the double) are the crispiest you’ll find in these 49 square miles. The beautifully lacy edges peek out from between a squishy potato bun, and every bite is packed with flavor from the caramelized shallots and tangy house sauce. Maillards is regularly open Sundays at the Outer Sunset Farmers Market, or Tuesday nights in the Richmond (they pop up at Heritage Restaurant & Bar)." - julia chen 1, lani conway, ricky rodriguez, patrick wong

"Max Ponzurick’s smash burger pop-up comes after the cook played college baseball at Virginia Tech. Now he doles out crisp, salty, crunchy patties to ever-longer lines, fans returning for well-balanced burgers from the well-researched Ponzurick. Maillards is a regular at the Outer Sunset Farmers Market each Sunday from 9 a.m. until all the burgers are gone. The business also sets up shop at Heritage Restaurant on Tuesdays from 5 to 9 p.m. as of spring 2024." - Dianne de Guzman
"Maillards makes a convincing case for crispy beef and pickles before your morning cup of coffee. Their smashburger—available starting at 9am at the Outer Sunset Farmers Market—is a citywide treasure. The patties are pressed so thin they could be classified as chips, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t also tender and juicy. Each burger is a gooey vision loaded with melty American cheese, pickles, house sauce, and caramelized shallots. Well-seasoned fries round out the whole meal. These things do sell out, so try to get there early. And if you'd rather eat your burger for dinner, they also pop up at Heritage Restaurant & Bar in the Richmond on Tuesday evenings. Food Rundown Maillards Double Double patties reign supreme in the Maillards universe. The more pressed beef, the better. You’re getting this. photo credit: Julia Chen Fries Like the ones from the place with golden arches, but better. These crisp, salty babies get an added savory oomph from a hot oil bath in beef tallow." - Julia Chen
