Native Burger

I had veggie burger, the cutlet was pretty good. All ingredients were good and fresh. The only thing I didn’t like, burger didn’t have any sauces, not juicy at all. I would say it was dry.

Friendly staff in a hole-in-the-wall burger joint that serves good, but not great, burgers and fries. Tried the American classic and enjoyed it, but felt that it could’ve used more seasoning on the patty or more sauces to enhance flavor.

I got the southwestern burger. . . Possibly THE single best hamburger I have ever eaten. Both the sweet potato fries and twice fried fries were amazing. I'm sitting here in the restaurant trying to comprehend the gloriousness my taste buds just experienced. Portions were generous and prices are good. Don't take my word for it, come try it for yourself!

Native is awesome! Salads, sausages, burgers, and sides! Awesome story about keeping this spot in the neighborhood. Burgers are great and bigger and better than before. The owners are creative and exploring new menu options and ways to improve all the time. Native Burger is great!

Staff was super friendly and will definitely go back. That being said the burger meat was just okay as I believe it was frozen patties so thats my only note. Tasty fries though so just depends what you're after.

Definitely expensive for a “fast-casual” type diner burger, but you get what you pay for. The food just tastes high quality and they cook everything very well. Very solid, no frills, and good service. Will definitely be back. Also the burger was juicy as all hell so I have to assume it doesn’t carry out that well.

Food was delicious. Service was great. Thank you.

I ordered the classic burger. It came out fast and tasty. Friendly staff, clean and tidy place. Food was good.

One of my favorite burger spots in the city! They use grass fed beef from Harris ranch which you don't see all the time in restaurants. They have super friendly service though it is an order at the front sort of place. It has a smaller hole in the wall ambiance with limited seating but I've always been able to get a table. The burgers are sooo yummy and flavorful, and their fries and brussel sprouts are fantastic too- this is a place I've been to multiple times and will keep coming back to in the future as well!

The burgers were so good and very delicious. The flavors was just right. Great patty and it was nicely seasoned. The brusells were so good and nicely cooked. Very nice burgers spot and they have plenty of options with great flavors. Good size of burgers. The service was great and pretty reasonable too.

Food: Something to note is that I don't like burgers that much, so I thought this was okay. It tastes like a burger. If you are a burger lover, this is probably the place for you, so take my review with a grain of salt. Either way, I thought that the burger looked really yummy, especially the bun. I also only had the All American Burger, so that is what I am commenting on. I just wanted to show you other burgers that my party got because I think they look good. The garlic fries taste better than they look, but I think it was a little bit sweet. Very little. I liked them, but I love fries. Service: It was okay. You pay first and then they give you your food. I don't think there is much to say about this. Ambience: We were the only ones there, but I like how the place feels and looks.

Ordered delivery...a burger and fries. The burger had golden bacon, grilled onion and bbq sauce $21.. the fries $8... the total with delivery $39... not including tip. The medium-sized burger was tasty, the bacon was good, additional lettuce & tomato would have helped. But, my brain kept saying $15... not $21. The fries definitely future pass. .. nothing special. Really should have been thrown in with the expensive burger price. I went back and forth on is this place a 3 or 4? Decided on 4 because they do have choices on your type burger. And they offer real cheese... thank you for my cheddar!! Some of the things I wasn't impressed on the burger could have been because of the delivery distance (something business had no control over). I'd probably suggest in-store ordering... unless you live close.

Native Burger is a regular stop for us when we're in the City; reliably delicious, great service, and a little pricey but definitely worth it. The Sunrise Burger is to die for, and the fries are awesome, too. A bit of a splurge, but well-worth it!

We picked up burgers. They tasted average, nothing special. They could have used more sauce, which could have helped. They asked about sauces in the phone but we didn't know what the ootions were. They could have offered at pick up too. The staff was a little ride when calling in our order. A little customer service in the phone and at pick up would have gone a long way.

The cheeseburger dinner was an exquisite culinary experience, with each bite offering a symphony of rich, savory flavors that delighted the senses.

Whenever I try a new burger place, I have to get their original burger as a standard, so I ordered the "All American" which is also their top seller. The patty was juicy and decently sized, the fixings (tomato, lettuce, onion) were all fresh and delicious, and the pickles, thousand island sauce, and brioche bun just brought it all together and topped it off nicely. I have to admit the bottom bun did get a little soggy at the end, but I think it was all from the juices of the patty. It's also a really good portion size for the price! For under $12 total, I couldn't finish the entire burger and I was stuffed. My friends also ordered fries and they said they were solid - nice and crispy, decent seasoning, but nothing spectacular. The place itself is easy to miss if you're not familiar with the area and the inside is fairly small (~3 tables to seat 4 people each?) but I loved the casual, no frills environment. Order at the front, sit down and self serve water, and then they bring out the food in under 10 minutes! My friends and I also stuck around just to talk for a bit after finishing our food and we never felt rushed or as if we were unwelcome to stay, which I also appreciated. Overall, I had a great experience and I'd definitely want to come back to try a different burger soon!

Even though I didn't frequent them all that often while they were still here, for quite a while, Buzz was my go-to spot for a tasty burger on this side of SF. It wasn't amazing, nor the best value (Super Duper takes that distinction), but there was so much to like - friendly staff, plenty of parking, nary a wait, and, most importantly, the burgers were just solid. So, needless to say, it was a bummer when I passed by and saw that they were gone. Too bad I took such a long time to finally come here and check out their replacement. If I hadn't, I would've discovered that even though Buzz may be gone, Native Burger really isn't all that different! While their facade and aspects of their interior have changed (gone is the bench seating, replaced in favor of three picnic tables), not much about Native is all that different from its predecessor. The menu, in particular, might look all too familiar; like Buzz's, it also not very extensive (though it does have a few more options) and some of the burgers even bear the same name, such as the Western and Sunrise. However, their dozen or so burgers, as well as their handful of sides, sausages, salad, and loco moco, are rather appealing. What's more, they have quite a few substitute options, if needed (non-Gluten bun, Lettuce Wrap, and non-beef proteins, like Beyond, Chicken, and Turkey). -- ONION RINGS...$4.25 (https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/native-burger-san-francisco?select=CZPIXKbjXXr5f4CIbhvxsQ) These aren't the best I've had, but after not having legit onion rings in ages, I thought these were terrific! The rings were crispy, not overly battered, and were cut fairly thick. It doesn't come with dipping sauce, but they happily gave me a side of ranch for free. -- NATIVE BURGER - 7oz Harris Ranch Grass Fed Beef, 4oz Applewood Smoked "Fool's Gold" Bacon, Sunny Farms Cheddar, Lettuce, Tomato, and House BBQ Sauce on a Brioche Bun...$15.75 (https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/native-burger-san-francisco?select=oO0R4x--7xnJogswYsQQYw) More solid than spectacular, but still quite tasty! The patty was well cooked, I LOVED the bacon's salty sweetness, and everything complemented each other really well. That being said, whether it be due to the patty, the bacon, or both, the burger, as a whole, felt a little greasy. -- JR. CLASSIC BURGER & FRIES - 4oz Harris Ranch Grass Fed Beef, Sunny Farms Cheddar, Lettuce, Tomato, Red Onions, Pringle Cut Dill Pickles, and House Island Sauce on a Brioche Bun with Twice Fried Fries...$11.25 (https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/native-burger-san-francisco?select=NVxYPDZqcLlRGXo2T0LMJg) This was...pretty awesome. Not only is the burger the perfect size, but it was done so well - juicy patty, a soft, toasted bun, and fresh veggies. As for the fries, they were far better than the garlic version. All together, this feels like a terrific value for what you get! -- GARLIC FRIES...$4.50 (https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/native-burger-san-francisco?select=T-z4tiVho0kC0LNNsUox6w) Meh. These fries were also very crispy, and the portion was decent, but the taste was underwhelming. Not only was it not very garlicky/lacking in garlic, but there wasn't much else to it either - no herbs, no cheese, not much seasoning. It has potential, but disappointed as is. -- LOCO MOCO - Two Range Free Eggs, 7oz Grass Fed Harris Ranch Beef, and Housemade Gravy Over Jasmine Rice...$12.25 (https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/native-burger-san-francisco?select=GxkLRFJlOoRH5xs2s0-KcQ) Are they to blame for this one or am I for ordering it? Not surprisingly, the patties were the best part, as they were both juicy and flavorful. Everything else, other then the eggs, was a bust - the onions were mealy, the rice was hard, and the gravy was gloppy and broken. While most of what I've had has been more good than bad, the service here has been excellent all around. Every time I've stopped in, the same two guys have been working the register and grill and they've always been super friendly. They've happily given us ranch for the onion rings and garlic fries (much needed for the latter) and they're quick to greet people/say goodbye as folks come and go. Tasty burgers, friendly service, and a wealth of parking nearby? Super Duper's newest outpost is a short walk away, but it's great to know that Native is just as good as my former go-to spot!

Always gotta be careful when you proclaim something as the "best". My only fighting words that I will kick my flip flops off for? In-N-Out. IMO, they make the best burgers in its price category. Now, if someone can sell McD fries outside, that would be a winning combo! After a nearby vet appointment, I was too lazy to drive 30 minutes to the nearest In-N-Out location. Yelp came to the rescue with Native Burger, a small, locally-owned burger joint (formerly Buzz). What sold me is that Native Burger is owned by a unicorn, an SF native so had to come and support! Unfortunately, my experience didn't align with all the raving 5 star reviews so I probably visited on an off day. And, in no way am I comparing this locally-owned business to a fast-food chain like In-N-Out. Native Burger is open for takeout, delivery, indoor dining, and outdoor dining (sidewalk and parklet). M E N U Burgers (Harris Ranch grass-fed beef patties), Sausages, Loco Moco, Salads, and Sides (fries, brussel sprouts, onion rings, etc). You can sub for a Beyond burger patty and GF bread for a surcharge. Chicken and turkey also available. Bottled drinks and beer on tap available. For the city, wallet-friendly pricing with burgers starting at $9.95. F O O D * All American Burger w/ 7 oz Harris ranch grass fed beef patty, cheddar, lettuce, tomato, red onions, pringle cut dill pickles, house Island sauce, brioche bun ($9.95): https://tinyurl.com/3hu6syec ***Requested rare. While the burger looked good with a nice seared patty, the patty (medium rare) and bun (barely toasted) were dry. After taking several bites, I lifted up the bun to find that the house island sauce was missing. I went inside and they gave me a side of the sauce which helped give the burger some moisture but TBH, it was still pretty underwhelming. * The Sunrise Burger w/ 7 oz Harris ranch grass fed beef patty, cheddar cheese, grilled onions, lettuce, tomato, free-range egg, avocado, sweet chili sauce, brioche bun ($12.75): https://tinyurl.com/2ywsunx6 ***Requested rare. ***Add extra patty (+$4.50) ***Add fool's gold bacon (+$4.75). Missing. Not my burger. Friend said, it was "fine" but we later realized that the added bacon was missing. =( * Unseasoned Beef Patty aka Pup Patty: ($4.50): https://tinyurl.com/bxxv3was Post vet visit treat! Thank you for making an unseasoned beef patty upon request! * Fried Brussel Sprouts ($6.95) To be little healthier, I ordered the brussel sprouts as a side. It was soggy and too sweet. * Fries ($3.95) Fav item! Hot, golden, and crunchy. S E R V I C E Very kind staff. Our order was brought outside to us in about 15 minutes. A M B I A N C E Casual neighborhood burger joint with an open kitchen with counter seating and picnic tables in the back. Yay for dog-friendly outdoor seating. Just bring a warm coat since there's no heat lamps. P A R K I N G Easier street and residential parking than deep into Inner Richmond. Found a space right away during primetime dinner time on a weekday. Overall, my burger and side didn't hit for me but it was probably an off day. If I'm in the area again, I would be down to give Native Burger another try in hopes to have a better experience next time!

1st time here & won't be my last. The burgers were super good & juicy. Had both style fries & also very good.

Pleasantly surprised by fresh burgers cooked great and very tasty! The service was nice and quick too.

Great burgers and great staff. Very clean as well. Both burgers were . I strongly recommend. Everything tasted super yummy & fresh .

Native Burger is a regular stop for us when we're in the City; reliably delicious, great service, and a little pricey but definitely worth it.

Service was really friendly. Food was okay. Felt like the just out together a piece of lettuce, tomato, cheese, burger, etc in between a bun and called it a day. Fries tasted stale. Restaurant has picnic style tables.

Food is fine, but the price is not. We ordered the native burger, sunrise burger and loco-moco. These prices are just for the burger and not any fries that come with it. We ordered through pick up. The native was $21.95, the sunrise was $18.80, the loco-moco was $18. The loco moco was unseasoned. It only had the egg and the gravy and that's it. You can't taste any other seasoning on there. So plain... The native was good and it had a good amount of bacon too. Ok burger with more bacon on it adding more salt to the item. The sunrise was also ok. Had avocado and an egg. Wasn't very flavorful. I visited this place some years ago before the owners got switched and there were fried with the meal. I remember the burgers were good too. Now they don't do that anymore. 3.5/5 for food Not worth

I am not a burger person and this is definitely my favorite burger place in the city! The staff here is nice, the service is great and their burgers are fire!!! I also love their Jalapeño poppers and onion rings the most. They also have great vegetarian options, my favorite burger to order is actually their Beyond Burger because its tasty and doesn't leave you feeling too heavy after! They also serve some bottle beers here, and wine!

Great fast burgers & a good pint of beer ! The burgers are large and the sides offer great choices !!

Delicious burger and Fantastic Caesar Salad. The best ceaser I've had from a restaurant in a very long time.

Ate there the other day and got food poisoning, sh*****g and throwing up non stop, 10/10 do not recommend

I had an amazing time here at Native Burger. The burgers and fries are just exquisite and CRAZY good. The ambiance is just warm and cozy. The staff was also very dependable and attentive. Kudos to them.

We love it here! The food is great and so is the staff. I often order the special which is shown on a piece of paper in the window as you walk in. Never been disappointed. In fact, I'm hungry now and would like to have a burger and some brussel sprouts for breakfast!

Food 5/5 Ambience 4/5 Service 5/5 It's always a good time trying out a new burger joint and thankfully, this one did not disappoint! This place is a lowkey spot in the Richmond district and parking is pretty easy to find since there are lots of neighborhoods around and Geary is a pretty large street. Their menu was clean, simple, and easy to choose from. There are only 6 or so burgers to choose from and they all looked super good. I went with the western burger and some twice fried fries. Service was fast and the server was very nice to us. It took maybe 5 minutes before all of our food came out. The burger was big, juicy, and came loaded with all the toppings I could want. It was a pretty good value too as I was stuffed after eating it. The burger also held together really well as everything didn't just spill out the other side after taking a bite. The fries were also good! They were crispy, but still fluffy on the inside and were portioned appropriately for the size of the burger. The restaurant itself is clean and well lit. Overall, if you're in the area and looking for a good burger, definitely give this place a try! Solid burgers, solid fries, solid service. Two thumbs up!

The classic burger is THE definition of a perfect burger. If I could eat one burger for the rest of my life, this would be it. They steam the cheese onto the patty and toast the bun. They layer the perfect amount of tomato, onion, and lettuce. The spread that they include is also just right, enough for the taste and texture but not so much that it's sloppy and all you can taste. Everything tastes fresh, fries were bomb, and most importantly, meat was juicy and delicious. Prices aren't bad either. I wish they were closer to me! If you're in the area, you need to try :)

I have eaten here for years and always loved it. Recently found a piece of plastic in my food. I understand that accidents happen but this was a very careless one and could cause serious health issues

Finally got to try our local neighborhood burger spot! They are currently doing indoor dining and some outdoor dining! I got the junior combo, which included a junior classic burger and fries! The burger was tasty and well cooked. Their fries are double fried, so good. I will definitely be back to try their other burgers!

Really good burger with lots of good crispy bacon and juicy burger I give it a 10/10 would recommend

Best burger in SF and I have had burgers all over town. Cooked to perfectly. They have villager on tap. Nothing better than a cold villager and a cheese burger.

Flavor was good the 2 times we picked up from here but both times 4yrs apart, the burger was seared enough... almost like the meat was boiled.

So, my husband & I were in the neighborhood & we stopped by for some burgers. First time here. I had the Jr Classic Burger & fries. Asked for no pickle & onions though, but added avocado. Omg let me tell you something... When my order came out, I looked at the bun, it was shining at me! Haha it's was beautifully ROUND! Not exaggerating at all. The patty was such a nice texture. The perfect burger! Lol Free ranch dressing, yay! I was so satisfied and I'm so happy we stopped by here. My husband got the Trifefta & he seemed to enjoy it as well. He loved the sweet bacon in the burger. I actually took a bite of that same bacon of his & wow, I was amazed myself! Steve helped us & he was nice & helpful. This place is small, and right now they have outside dining as of Feb 2021. Very cool place.

Yummy, little burger spot! Service was friendly and fast. It's a small, hole in the wall restaurant with great food.

My brother told me about the great burgers at Native Burger and we decided to dine in. I enjoyed the Native Burger and the brioche buns really make a delicious difference. The beef is cooked medium with thick cut applewood smoked bacon and barbecue sauce. Their twice fried french fries had the perfect amount of crispness. If your not super hungry they have a junior cheeseburger meal. We will definitely be back:)

Burger (The northerner) was great--lots of mushrooms, if you're into that. The portion of garlic fries was pretty small. There are no fountain drinks, just canned or bottled. The sitting area is very small and feels kinda sketch (feels like a dark alley), but it's fine. Staff is the type to slap food down and not smile, if you're into that.

Great burgers! Plus fast service and comfortable dining area. Order the Sunrise Burger!

I'll come back to this place. I had the Native burger and it did not disappoint. The bacon tasted like candy, the cheese was quality and it was cooked to perfection!

My girlfriend and I were up in San Fransisco for Easter and were trying to find a good place to eat that was open. Fortunately, Native Burger was open! The gentleman at the register gave up the spiel on how it works and we were all of it! They have this big flat top stove to cook the burger patties on and it really helps cook the meat thoroughly at whatever preferred temp. Once you order, you take a seat, and they bring the food out to you. Their house sauce is a thousand island based sauce. They also have some really good French fry sides which I highly recommend. The fry portion is pretty big and great for sharing! Overall; for the price and quality of food, I can totally see myself coming back to the city and grab a burger here!

Delicious food, fast and friendly service! We will definitely be back whenever we are in town!

Best burgers around. Local gem. Seats are picnic tables but food is worth it. Try it.

Delicious burger in a hole in the wall place! I had the Sunrise Burger and shared fries with my partner and both were delicious. I'm not a tomato fan so I did get mine without it, though I'm sure it would've been delicious for all you tomato fans. A few notes about the burger: The meat is so juicy and cooked well on a flat top The egg is nice and runny They include a TON of avocado which i very much appreciated And the brioche bun is nice and toasty and key to the burger itself The fries themselves were crispy and soft in the middle. Very solid fries. Overall a great burger spot and very decently priced. Will definitely be back!

I've passed by Native Burger a few times but was always too early to order a burger from them. WELL this weekend I had perfect timing and ordered the Jr. Classic and Fries... Totally surprised by how GOOD this burger was and let me add, there was nothing "Jr." about it! Super delish 4 oz patty, fresh green leaf lettuce, juicy tomato, really tasty cheddar cheese, some yummy sauce on a brioche bun! Outstanding! The fries were also killer. Perfectly seasoned and a nice crunch :) I have to say, it was so good I wanted another one on Sunday! Also the service was great! Very friendly staff :)

Native Burger is just consistently good. We went there last night and as always, loved our dinner. My wife and son had the Northern burgers and I had the Loco Moco (a great gluten-free option) The meat was cooked perfectly and seasoned just right. You know how sometimes you bite into a burger and it's a sodium bomb...not here. And if you like fries, theirs is a real treat. It's a terrific neighborhood spot with friendly service and terrific food.

It's been a few hours since I had a Classic Native Burger with twice fried fries, and I'm still full! Now that's a sign of a good burger! The Classic is a straight up traditional style burger with a 7oz Harris Ranch patty, Cheddar, lettuce, tomato, red onion, pickle, and thousand island sauce. It's an excellent representation of the American classic - but with a lot of meat. If you sit at the counter, you can watch them fry up the burgers and expertly assemble them to be picture perfect. The twice fried fries are excellent - nice and crisp! Service is very friendly - Andrew the co-owner was exceptionally friendly and chatty while I sat at the bar and watched him work. Highly recommended!

I love these burgers because the ingredients are so fresh. You never see wilted lettuce, unripe tomatoes, smooshed bun, or cheese that has overly melted out of place. Also, the burgers are big, but the ingredients are so well placed, they don't fall apart. The service is fast. The people are nice. To wrap it up "Check, please" style: if you want to be part of your community by supporting a local business and in return get delicious burgers at reasonable price, go to Native Burger.

They were very accommodating for our larger group and everyone enjoyed all the food. All plates were empty upon departure and everyone found things to accommodate their preferences.

The burger was just ok to me. The burger patty seemed a bit dry & was exacerbated by the fact that there was no sauce/mayo on the bun (when I lifted the bun to take a look, there was literally only a quarter-sized splotch of sauce!). A lot more of the sauce would have made a much happier burger for me. We tried both the Westerner & All American with the same feedback. The onion rings & fries were delicious though!

Great spot. Well balanced burger, not too much of any one thing. Good quality and a simple menu. Which is probably why the prices are reasonable. Jose at the front was very friendly and accommodating. I wish I had tried this spot sooner. Be back soon.

Perfectly average. Was craving a burger and saw this place had lots of starts and good reviews. First off the restaurant is on a really busy street and parking is horrible. It's really hard to even get to the restaurant and you're likely to miss it. There are two tables and chairs outside which are on the curb. If someone rolled down their window they could steal your burger. When my friend and I went the seats where taken and people where happily eating. I got the southwestern burger but with chicken. The chicken was very dry and the bacon wasn't crisp. The bbq sauce on it was nice and sweet very flavorful. The bun was equally as average. My burger got a 2 stars. My friend got the egg burger with Avocado and it looked amazing. The egg was runny to everyone's delight. The burger looked amazing it tasted average. What really made this place stand out was the fries. I got the normal fries called 'twice fries' and my friend got the sweet potato fries. They where crunchy yet soft and flavorful and not overly salty. That was the restaurants only saving grace. Overall average. Wouldn't go again and wouldn't recommend unless you just want fries.

I've been on a search for a regular, good ole burger without all the frills and foofy stuff places do nowadays. Thank goodness for native burger. I ordered the classic with bacon and couldn't be happier. The burger was seasoned well, cooked perfectly, and the bun complemented it to hold everything together. Throw on some lettuce, tomatoes, and onion...and you've got yourself a real burger. Woot woot! Added on some fries and couldn't be happier. Now if you are into all that foofyness, they can surely help you out also. Fool's gold bacon which is probably the equivalent of millionaire bacon? Yeah, you can add that to your burger if you're into sweet bacon. Otherwise, wait times weren't an issue and our food came out piping hot. A solid 5 stars for an above average yet just your average burger.

This place is severely underrated. If I could give them 10 stars I would. I went for lunch with my fiancé and we ordered The SouthWesterner Burger, The Sunrise Burger, fries, and the jalapeño poppers. Everything was top notch. I definitely recommend if you are ever in the mood for a burger. Please visit and rate.
