Uncle Boy's

Prices have leapt up all across the menu (+$3 to the burgers and onion rings). The onion rings here are still great, but my recent visit has me questioning the value and cleanliness. In my original review, I praised their service and great onion rings. Their service is kind of cold now, and I saw one of the staff grabbing raw bacon with his bare hand which was probably washed, but I did pause to stare for a second. The onion rings are fried to order, which ensures they're perfectly crispy and the onion inside snaps when you bite into them, instead of slipping out of the batter. Also, I got the OG burger with American cheese. It's comparable to a Whopper from Burger King. The patty was slightly crisped, which I liked, but also nice and juicy. However, they could have used a little less salt. Under the top bun, there was ketchup, mustard, mayo, lettuce, then a slice of tomato implanted inside the rings of a red onion, then American cheese with the patty as the last ingredient to the bottom before the pickles adhered to the bottom bun with more mayo. The burger was done in about four minutes despite the cashier saying fifteen minutes. Also, this place used to have customers around the clock. It still gets customers but definitely isn't as busy as it used to be. This restaurant has gone downhill a little, but I'm hopeful they'll recover and still have the same quality of food I remember.

Raw hamburger was still cold. The guy who cooked it wasn’t interested in his mistake at all. Dangerous and should be avoided.

This is a sympathy four star review. It was kind of sad to see all three businesses across the street shut down. I hope Uncle Boy's can stay. We used to come here years ago. Ordering in person at their terminal felt impersonal. The workers were busy having a conversion with themselves and ignoring the customers. No hellos or help with ordering. I had the O.G. burger $9.50 and onion rings $9. My order was for dine-in and they put it a brown paper bag and they didn't ask if I wanted water or anything else and went back to joking with the other employees. They don't bring the food out to the parklet. I'm not sure why I tipped. It is one of those fallacies where the option to tip is at the counter and not after the meal. The little 4oz burger tasted OK. It tasted like a Jumbo Jack but with a toasted bun and whole slice of red onion. I really should have went up to Laurel Village and had a Super Duper burger instead. The service is much better there along with the food. But that's a chain restaurant.

Got the O.G. burger and side of fries for $15. The burger patty was dry. I did note on the menu that it would be cooked well done, but considering it was also advertised as a wagyu beef patty, I expected it to be more succulent and juicy. The wagyu value was not shining through. The fries were on the very crispy side and dark brown. Also well done I guess. Good to have some crispy bits, but overly fried for my liking. Service is tepid -- not friendly and not unfriendly. Counter tops are not wiped down. Am expecting too much? Perhaps this is not representative of Uncle Boy's, but then it would indicate there is a big quality inconsistency issue. Based on this experience, I would not go out of my way for Uncle Boy's.

Ordered to-go, yet was shown a touch display prompting me to sign (I paid with my Apple Pay which doesn't require extra signage), apparently with the purpose of shaming me into adding a tip even though there's no service that would warrant it. Burger wasn't great (there's only "well done") but not bad either. Outside seating was rather uninviting, inside even worse. Overall an unpleasant experience.

The burgers are really good and generally so is the service but today it was not. Drove 15 minutes after calling on the phone to place an order and was told when I arrived that I have to place the order on door dash or Uber because their cash register isn't working. One of the most important parts of being a business is to be able to accept payments for your services or product. That's like business 101. Apparently this place doesn't understand that. You lost a loyal customer over this. This business is laughable at best for it's inability to have a working cash register and to expect that they can just tell the customer to order on doordash or Uber... Let me just go ahead and pay extra cost for the same product and then pay for the fee to pick up myself while I'm sitting in your restaurant. In other words who gives a shit about our inconvenience, we can just put it on the customer. Really poor customer service here. 🤣🤣🤣

Solid store where you just order and pickup. I think their wagyu beef patty thing is glazing the quality of their beef a bit, but their UB sauce is great. Works.

ABSOLUTE joke of a business. Ordered & paid online and was told my food was ready. When I showed up the place was closed 5 hours before the listed close hours. Apathetic employee told me to call a # for a refund. The # provided had no affiliation w/ Uncle Boys whatsoever. CLOWNS on every level. Was given the name ‘John’. Refund me ‘John’.

I give the worker props cuz he is managing all lot! The dude kindly took my orders at the front. Cooked the food, answered phone calls and more! This dude deserves to get a pay raise and more! Besides that, this was my first time here after so many years of friends boasting about how great this spot was. It exceeded my expectations as I saw this hard working dude fill so many roles all by himself. Also I saw a good amount of folx stop by and order food and online orders too picking up. There are table outside no restrooms. I was relaxed after coming from an event and enjoyed the vibe waiting outside with my friend. The bread was good, burger was neat was great, veggies, and the fries didn't even need sauce because they were seasoned so well! I was surprised how good they were cuz other places the friend definitely need more of a sauce but this was great stand alone coming in at $6 bag Wagyu patty's i would definitely come back if was craving burgers in the area. Delicious

Went late after Deftones concert. Maybe around 12:30am as it was one of the only spots open around that would be relatively fast. Parking was somewhat of a struggle being in the busy Inner Richmond neighborhood. Had to walk about 2 min. Simply walked up and ordered the OG Burger with added Jalapeños and an order of fries. They offer a solid range of dipping sauces which I do not recall being at cost. Burger was overall filling, tasty, and fresh. The meat was a tad dry. Definitely would try the fancier burgers as the toppings were lacking luster on the OG. I did order the burger without cheese and I would imagine having cheese would make the burger a little more moist. Fries were definitely the worst part. Came out on the colder and mushy side. Exactly opposite of what I look for in fries. The sauce I chose was great and I dumped that on both the burger and fries to help with the dryness. Would go again to try different options on menu.

Very average. Maybe because I didn't tip before I got the food. In America I think people are expected to Tip before they get the food. Why would anyone in their right mind tip first. If the food was horrible, then I'd be asking for my tip back. I ask for medium, it was well done, like seriously well done. Why say you'll cook it medium if you don't intend to or know how too. $21 for a burger I could barely finish and half a spud of over cooked fries. No thanks

I was craving some burgers one day, and this burger joint was within walking distance to me so I decided to try them out. The burgers did not disappoint! I enjoyed my El Jefe burger along with the crispy fries and onion rings. One little detail I love is that a little gummy burger was included with my order! I would definitely come back again next time.

BF and I have been on a bit of a "try all the hamburgers in the City!" kick, and Uncle Boys is a solid 4/5 for me. UB's hits the spot way more than any fast food, multinational conglomerate ever will, and was speedy service with a smile. There were a few people waiting for their burgers when we walked in, and I would say we didn't wait for more than 15 min. We took food to go and ate in front of a movie on the couch. Burgers were as ordered, large, and filling. I had to wash my hands after eating thanks to the juiciness/sauciness. My one complaint was the bun was a tad dry, but we were there on a Sunday and that's a little to be expected (gma always warned about eating out on Sunday/Monday ;p) There's a small counter inside with 4ish chairs, and seating outside, as well. I can imagine this is a great spot for an after work meal on a warm night when you don't wanna cook, but also don't want to break the bank. I can definitely tell those who live & work nearby visit regularly (a few greetings of customers seemed very familiar). I won't be driving across the city for a burger at UB's, but I'll definitely stop by if in the area and craving a burger!

I had this place on my bookmark list for so long that when it was my turn to choose a restaurant for lunch catering at work, I chose Uncle Boy's. I see them all over social media and yelp and wanted to support. I loved the names and the ingredients for the burgers, was really excited to try the El Jefe, ground wagyu burger with lettuce, tomato, bacon, and pepper jack cheese topped with SpicyUB sauce. My burger was cold and messy, uneven. I don't mind about it being cold, we placed a big order and got it delivered cross town. The onion rings were not worth mentioning or trying. Overall I think Uncle Boy's looks good, but it just missed the mark that day. Next time we will go in person.

I had a little higher expectations for what I paid and based on the reviews. I probably would not pay for this burger again because it was more bun than the burger itself. Everything was dry and it was very disappointing. The only high note of this, are their fries. The fries were done perfectly, nice and crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. It was seasoned perfectly as well.

Our neighborhood burger joint! Been around for forever, small business family owned, great quality, speed and service. I love the cowboy burger, and the house sauce is really good! Frye crispy fries you can't go wrong with... come for a burger and fries, seriously! Worth it.

A great no-frills burger spot in the Richmond! We were in the mood for burgers for lunch, but didn't feel like a full sit-down meal so were happy to find this great spot that was exactly what we were looking for. There is only a small counter for 2 to sit inside and a parklet with some outdoor seating so I would say this is more of a take-out place. While it may be a pretty small menu, they make everything pretty tasty! The fries had a really good house seasoning that had a great flavor and would definitely order those again or may try the onion rings instead. For burgers, I had the El Jefe and my wife had the O.G. Just like the restaurant itself, they weren't the fanciest, but they tasted great and were very filling! We might have to try the Chicken Sandwiches next time, but if we ever need a solid burger, this is a great option to come back to!

My wife and I just finished a delivery order. The burgers were a bit dry-probably because the only option was well done. The bun was a bit dry too. The fries and lumpia were okay-nothing memorable.

Totally solid in its niche, which is "greasy meat and stuff when you're half in the bag from drinking at O'Keeffe's." I see the inimitable Nobu reviewed it 10 years ago and I don't think much has changed. It's an OK burger when you're buzzed but I don't think I'd go here in full possession of my senses. I don't know where a better burger is in the Richmond, though, I think they are all kind of meh unless I'm overlooking somewhere. Open to suggestions.

A neighborhood staple. We order from here basically every week and it never disappoints. Everyone say thank you, Uncle Boy's! They were closed for a few weeks and those were the longest few weeks of my life, please don't ever do that to me again, Uncle Boy's!!

They literally lure me back with their monthly coupons. I had " el jefe" the boss with crispy thick bacon, slightly spicy sauce , cheese. A meal in itself. They have outdoor seating which is great since eating that burger can be drippy. The patty is wagyu and don't expect to be thick. Good burger.

One of, if not, the only place open for a late-night meal in the Richmond neighborhood. They are POC-owned, make great burgers, and have decent prices. They even have lumpia, I've never tried it though. My go-to is the Cowboy Burger - and sometimes fries. For some reason, I only make it out when I'm starving and it's past midnight so I usually eat the burger on the outside patio by myself. But this burger is my FAVVV!!! The people inside working are usually very nice and friendly! However, this isn't your typical sit-down restaurant, more of an order to-go or eat outside. There are a few stools to sit in inside, but it's just more comfortable to eat outside or at home.

The burger was really dry what I mean by that is that if I what fat food I want something grease and juicy

Went here with my neighbor lol it's cool man I love the vibes there they listen to good music and keep the place clean.food was cool and the service was good.

I was watching Carrie on Sex and the City get down with a hamburger and fries and suddenly needed one myself. My friend got a burger from here when he was visiting years ago and couldn't stop talking about it-- so I got delivery from their website, they forgot to include the sauces I paid for, but nonetheless the OG burgers we ordered were delicious! The buns were fluffy and the patty perfectly cooked and scrumptious. Be specific when your order your toppings. I ordered grilled onions assuming that they wouldn't put the raw red onions, but I got both (I'm not complaining, I love onions, but if you're picky, then be specific). I also enjoyed the French fries! They were yummy, very savory. I'll definitely be ordering from here again, or going there myself the next time the rare craving for a burger comes up for me!

Best burger in SF? Not necessarily. But an all around SOLID choice especially consider how late this place is open and the surrounding options in the neighborhood (Richmond district). Ordered the cowboy burger and fries. Served fresh, hot and juicy cooked to a nice medium rare as requested. The fries were also fresh and crispy and generously portioned. Definitely adding this place to my late night list options!

I have ordered from here many times aftwr getting home late from drink im most of the time, they usually open late night and i order delivery , i tried the El Jefe and some other ones, i love this Burger spot, great burgers, definitely recommended.

Been checking out other burger restaurants in the area. Nothing compares with Uncle Boy's. You know you're eating a great burger when before you know it, you're almost done. I inhale Uncle Boy's burgers. Don't get me wrong the burgers are pretty substantial. No wimpy burgers. It's they're just so damn awesome. Just ate at another burger place in the area and I had a hard time finishing it. Thinking to myself when is this gonna be over. It wasn't a pleasant experience. Next time we're eating at Uncle Boy's. Don't want to waste time.

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.

If you are looking for a good old fashion burger, try this place out. I mostly come here for the onion rings. No other place makes them this crispy and fresh. The meat patties are huge. Only come here if your stomach is growling uncontrollably.

Burgers, fries, and lumpia? Yes please! Uncle Boy's serves some yummy lumpia Shanghai and I'm here for it. Service was nice, cooked to order. Not much ambiance as the restaurant is quite small. We ate outside at their parklet.

Their burgers always hit the spot. I particularly like the El Jefe and their mozzarella sticks.

Oh how the mighty have fallen. Great burgers but.... The guys behind counter just don't care. And so I can't reasonably ever come back. Do they not care about the customers as far as did you get your order right or not, they're also not wearing masks. I used to love this spot, now I feel undervalued as a customer.

Burgers - 3.5 Onion rings - 5 Fries - 3.5 This is my neighborhood burger joint and the burgers are decent, but there are many other things to love about this place. The onion rings are BOMB, great tasting batter and they break cleanly when you bite them - 5 stars on their own. I like that they season their fries. I find that the burgers can be a little inconsistent, sometimes overly salty and the bun is a little dry. But I see the appeal of these old-school kind of burgers that are affordable and decent-sized. They have outdoor seating and are open suuper late. Best of all, they actively give back to the community, so huge props for that.

This is a sympathy four star review. It was kind of sad to see all three businesses across the street shut down. I hope Uncle Boy's can stay. We used to come here years ago. Ordering in person at their terminal felt impersonal. The workers were busy having a conversion with themselves and ignoring the customers. No hellos or help with ordering. I had the O.G. burger $9.50 and onion rings $9. My order was for dine-in and they put it a brown paper bag and they didn't ask if I wanted water or anything else and went back to joking with the other employees. They don't bring the food out to the parklet. I'm not sure why I tipped. It is one of those fallacies where the option to tip is at the counter and not after the meal.

The service is much better there along with the food. But that's a chain restaurant.

I went back some months later after being told I'd be taken care of for the error in my order from my first visit. It was great this time around as I got what I wanted which was the Cowboy Burger with Fries. The burger itself was delicious with the combo of Bacon & Onion Rings on the burger + added avocado. The fries were also enjoyable. Uncle Boys went from maybe I can attempt it again to a Local Mom & Pop Burger place in the Richmond that I'll definitely return when I want to get a burger in the area!

There is no where to sit indoors except a teeny tiny 3 stool bar outdoor seating was moderate with no protection from the cold in March. The cashier/ food prep was rude and rushed us when taking our order. This was my first and last time eating there. The Western burger was subpar at best we spent about $80 on what......‍

Everything tasted incredibly delicious and was as delightful as if a skibidi baby gronk was playing on a wayside beach. Everything else tasted like a gorilla climbing a billabong tree and screamin' for some of mommy's milk, but there was one problem: there was a mad person named Tavin about a guy named Ashton

Really disappointed in this spot. 4 star burger joint, what could possibly go wrong? Cowboy Burger: Started with a dry, stale bun which you can tell just by looking at it once you've bitten in. Burger was over cooked, really lacking that juicy bite you'd want when going in. Was hoping for more of a crunchy texture with the onion rings but they were pretty much nonexistent inside and soggy inside. Felt like they were just sitting around for the longest time waiting to be dumped onto the next Cowboy Burger. Read another review from a "longtime customer" that they switched to frozen bagged onion rings. The sauce did it's best to possibly save this cowboy but the rodeo ended before it started. Kind of taste like the bacon burgers from Burger King but more expensive and dry. Felt like there wasn't much effort put into this burger and unfortunately, it shows.

Awesome , The spicy sauce Yammmmeee. Awesome place and the staff so kind and friendly ....

I love burgers and places like this just warm my heart and tummy. The prices were on point not too pricey and the quality of the meat and everything we had was more than I expected. The western burger was big and meaty and so flavorful. The fries were seasoned well. And omg the onion rings was plenty for 4 of us to share. This place is definitely on my list of go to's for a nice quality burger. They have a nice outdoor seating also. The staff was friendly and the ordering system was easy too!

Food was fresh and good. Classic burger and fries. We added mozzarella sticks. Service was fast and friendly. The only issue was that I ordered avocado and it was not on my burger when I arrived home. $2.25 down the drain. I tried calling but there was no answer. The cook seemed busy on his phone opposed to reading the orders correctly. Overall a good experience.

Although the burger might be Wagyu that doesn't excuse its lack of execution. Very tasteless burger. Meat was outweighed by sauce (ketchup & mustard). The ratio of patty to condiments was off. Small portions. Eating space outdoors probably nice in the summer.

Last week I ordered the Side Chick with fried chicken in lieu of the grilled chicken for takeout. What I received was a sandwich with fried chicken tenders. I was disappointed since that wasn't what I expected. That being said, the sandwich basically tasted like fried chicken tenders. Maybe I should have chosen one of the beef burgers instead.

I got the O.G Wagyu Burger, fries, and Cowboy burger! So good and fresh. I love the buns, sweet and soft. Their fries are great. You can sit indoor (2 seats) or outdoor. No cash. Good customer service. Will be back!!

Sh*t was pretty good. Personally I grew up eating chubby burgers, nations, all-stars etc. Uncle Boy he up there. Only gripe for me was the bun was a little excessive - I'll probably get a double patty next time. Fries Onion rings Burger 777420

Ordered delivery it was decent burger was good quality. Fries were crispy how I like them.

Third trip and I'm never disappointed. Have tried all 3 burgers they offer: OG (w/grilled onions and bacon), Cowboy, and El Jefe. The buffets are cooked beautifully. The grill makes all the difference it's something about that open flame. The Jefe felt like it was missing something I'm not sure what. It's not spicy just really flavorful. Next visit I'll start on the chicken sandwiches. They seem like they'll be good too. The service is good, the workers aren't too chatty but friendly. Quick service. Fries are seasoned and average. Onion rings are very good and they give a nice portion. You can share.

It pains me to have to write this review .. but Ive taken friends here for the 3rd time raving about how good it was and I can't believe how embarrassed I was for recommending a place like this .. This used to be to go to spot for the most delicious juicy incredible burgers.. the to write home about good ... Anthony Bourdain approval good .. my favorite place for a burger in the city .. It's basically become a ghost kitchen .. completely automated ,cold , and they still manage mess up your here or to go order .. dry, frozen, tiny shrunken tasteless patty's , with a ton of bread . Not even BK or McDonalds dares to try and charge close to $12 for their garbage burgers .. and they might actually be better .. To say I'm upset about this place would be putting it mildly .. It's sad .. This was literally my favorite hidden burger spot .. Im going to have to recommend Beeps or Sam's

If you want a really delicious bar-style burger, then look no further. This place serves up a juicy fast burger. The service is also friendly and helpful!

Tried the burger seemed more bun than anything... meat was pretty good . Fries excellent seasoned on point Would I come back probably not

I have been here multiple times and used to liked it a lot. I can't say the same anymore. I have to echo another recent review that mentioned their burger came out dry. It's like they overcooked the patties and then have stale bread which they tried to hide by over roasting the bun. The fries was one star. It was super stale and crunchy but not in a good way. Still worth a visit if you must get a burger in the neighborhood but skip the fries.

Okay, who has an Uncle Boy in their family?⁣ ⁣ Because I for sure do. I have three. ⁣ ⁣ I ordered: El Jefe ⁣ Cowboy ⁣ Fries & Onion Rings ⁣ This Filipinx-American local eatery has been serving and giving back to the communities of San Francisco for about 10+ years. It is truly amazing what Uncle Boy's stand for. Jon Blessed, owner, continues to find ways to stay resilient; especially during these rough COVID times. He is an amazing example of a city boy fulfilling a dream in a city that raised him. ⁣ Want a snack? Order some juicy burgers and fries from Uncle Boy's now! ⁣ "small place, BIG TASTE" ⁣

Damn, what happened to this place. Their burgers used to be juicy, bacon deep fried, and all on a sesame bun. Now the burger is thin, bacon is barely there and they swapped the bun for something that adds nothing to the burger. Took the homies there as I was raving all about their OG with bacon that I used to order back in the day. The burger that came out was nowhere near what I used to have. Shame on yall.

I appreciate that they're open late, but they've gone down in quality since my last review. Had them twice since and everything has come out dry and subpar overall. Still better than Jack n the Box late at night but not THAT much better. Might as well save your money and go elsewhere these days

The hamburgers here are pretty good and pricing is reasonable at $8 for a regular nicely grilled burger on a brioche bun, tomato, lettuce, pickles. Cheese is $1 extra. The burger is definitely better than McDonald's or Burger King. The fries are OK but not great. I liked the onion rings a lot. A lot of take out from phone in orders. Definitely plan to be back when we're in the neighborhood and desire a simple Angus hamburger.

Got the chicken Bella and the hot pippin burgers and oh boy was it good. Can't go wrong with a chicken sandwich with marinara and The only thing I can truly grip about is the staff. Beware, the people who work here are not friendly and don't give a f*** about customer service. Every time I've eaten here I've encountered rude and unaccommodating behavior from the staff. Anything you ask from them seems like to be bothersome. Anyway, the food is good but staff is unpleasant.
