"The all-day American restaurant in SoMa is always bustling with people grabbing an after-work dinner or catching up with friends. You'll also see at least one burger on every table. Marlowe’s version is packed with caramelized onions, cheddar, and bacon, and gets a peppery kick from the horseradish aioli. This is the burger that'll make you look forward to hanging out with your coworkers instead of going home and rewatching Lost for the 10th time." - julia chen 1, lani conway, ricky rodriguez, patrick wong
"It’s home to one of the most beloved burgers in San Francisco, but Marlowe has more to give than that horseradish aioli and bacon-topped beauty. Peruse a menu of upscale American classics including steak tartare, an endive and avocado caesar salad, and a grilled pork chop. About a 10-minute walk from the ballpark, this bistro makes sense for either a pre-game meal or a post-game cocktail." - Paolo Bicchieri
"After an extended pandemic closure, a change of ownership, and a remodel, this SoMa favorite is back — burger and all. Chef Jennifer Puccio created a meaty masterpiece using a six-ounce ground beef and lamb mix, chargrilled and topped with cheddar cheese, caramelized onions, horseradish aioli, bacon, and shredded lettuce, all on an Acme bun. The lamb adds a subtle earthiness, while the horseradish brings it all alive." - Dianne de Guzman
"Reservations for New Year’s Day brunch at Marlowe start at 10:30 a.m. and include “classic brunch dishes, plus a few surprises for prosperity in the new year.” Expect ample bloody marys and mimosas as well." - Dianne de Guzman
"Marlowe’s interior is bright and friendly with white hexagonal floor tiles, quilted stainless steel along the bar, and marble countertops. Sure, this hip bistro has a number of fine-dining entrees, but the burger, which regularly ranks as the city’s best, is the real star. The beef patty is ground with a bit of lamb for added flavor and served on a toasted Acme bun with horseradish aioli, cheddar cheese, caramelized onions, bacon, and shredded lettuce." - Airbnb
