As a lover of all things burgers and fries, I had Uncle Boy's on the radar for a minute, and finally got to try it out this past weekend. Reading their business bio, they mention no frills, and that's exactly what I look for in a burger.
Since it was my first time, I asked what they best thing on the menu. The answer I got was 'everything' which is my pet peeve of answers because let's be real, not everything on the menu can be A+. After a friendly back n forth, they recommended the 'El Jefe' because they liked spicy, which is exactly what I love as well.
They use angus meat and the patties are pretty darn tasty. The bun could've used a little bit more toast, but the ingredients, sauces and overall flavor of the burger was pretty good. The size of the burger was good for a regular appetite, but for a big eater like me, I think I could go double patty if that's the option.
Their fries I enjoyed as well. They were crispy and loaded with salt and pepper. I can see the amount of S&P being too much for some, but it was perfect for me. Better to have some seasoning than nothing at all. I asked for a side of ranch which comes in packet. I should've asked for the chipotle sauce because that's homemade and I kept hearing other ppl ask for it. Next time for sure.
While I don't live in the neighborhood, this is one of those spots that if I did, I'd probably eat here once a week. No frills, good flavor, and good pricing. A big burger and fries was $14, which for San Francisco, I've paid a lot more and got a lot less.
If you find yourself in the neighborhood, looking for a quick bite or needing to satisfy that burger craving, Uncle Boy's might be the best option for you.
