1 Stars: Do NOT waste your time!! YOU WILL BE DISSAPOINTED!! (by ALeUH)

ALeUH — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 09:00:00 GMT

This place is absolutely awful!!! I usually go to Big Mouth but I was kinda on a date & the guy I was with was craving a burger & I thought this place would have a little more hustle & bustle inside. I was wrong! It was about 9:00 PM on a Saturday & two other people were in there. Needless to say after we received our meals & I took my first bite I was definitely embarrassed for suggesting this place!! About halfway into our meal my date asked, ?What would you give this burger on a scale of 1-10?? I said a 2! He replies with, ?Ya, that sounds about right.?

The paddies on the burger were about 1 centimeter thick & just downright gross!! I ordered what was supposed to be a mini burger which looked pretty much the same size as his ?regular burger.? Along with two fries (that had an odd texture to them like they were deep fried in the wrong oil or something) & no drinks our bill came out to almost $18 dollars!! If you want a good burger do not waste your time or money with this place, I assure you, YOU WILL BE DISSAPOINTED!!

I guess that is what I get for cheating on Big Mouth when they have never let me down once.. I assure you I will never be swayed against the mighty Big Mouth Burger again!!

I didn't realize how great the burgers here are, until I tried a couple other burger places, and realized how superior they really are.

I'm a burger lover, their burgers are amazing. The service is fast and the staff is friendly and the restaurant is inviting. Prices are reasonable. The food is very good.

1 Stars: Worst Burgers in Town (by jeromeez)

I went there with my girlfriend one night and we rdered 2 well done cheeseburgers. I took a bite of of the burger and it was soft and red in the middle. I then had them re cook the burger and it was the exact same. Red and bloody. I will never eat here again and would never reccomened this place to anyone.

5 Stars: One of the BEST in SF! (by mtmccormick)

You can't go wrong with $7 burger INCLUDING fries that taste fresh cut and not frozen like other places. Not much of a selection, but if you want a simple burger, you will be happy. Pick your cheese, maybe add bacon, and enjoy! They may have a chicken sandwhich, and possibly a garden burger. You will not be disappointed! Only negative is the lack of street parking, which is true for all of Valencia! Enjoy!

4 Stars: Excellent Burger, Fast, Cheap (by vassariggy)

Burgers are simple, juicy, and prepared fresh. Try the milkshakes, which are thick and perfectly complement the chuck and fresh fries. Retro-design is cute. Lots of tables. Good for kids and groups.

5 Stars: The Best Burgers and Fries ever! (by Polly A.)

Polly A. — Fri, 25 Mar 2005 15:43:00 GMT

Burger Joint serves up amazing burgers (Niman-Ranch brand), big steak fries, and thick milkshakes. The price is not cheap but the quality is high and the service comes with just the right amount of sassiness. Order at the counter and then take a seat at one of the booths or table. The decor is sort of 50s kitsch. Location is the heart of the Mission district (Valencia near 19th Street). Though your arteries will not thank you afterward, your stomach will thank you for a fine meal!

5 Stars: Tops! (by thandi)

Absoultely delicious burgers and always courteous service. Ambiance takes you back to the old joints of the 50s -- I think, I wasn't born then, but that's the feeling I get. Very clean.

4 Stars: $4.50 for a shake (by NZSF)

Pretty good burger (generic), good fries, good price. Typical low budge diner feel to the place. $2 shake costs $4.50. not ok.

5 Stars: Great Burger & Fries (by Jaspertoo)

Jaspertoo — Thu, 19 Dec 2002 09:00:00 GMT

This review is for the Burger Joint on Haight Street. The cheddar cheese burger was fantastic as were the fries. Toppings inclued mayo, lettuce, tomato, red onion and pickles. The burger is a generous size as were the fries. The menu is limted, but who cares when the burger and fries are the best. The dining area is large and comfortable, a throw back to the 1950 motif with neon and booths.

1 Stars: YUCK (by billantec)

billantec — Mon, 09 Dec 2002 09:00:00 GMT

The burgers were like cardboard and the tables were sticky. The fries had no taste. I wouldn't spend a dime here. My dining partner and I were very disappointed in our meal.

5 Stars: yum (by mbenert)

real hamburgers, not scary fast food beef; they cost a little more and take a little more time because they should!

5 Stars: MMMM..... Good! (by sfhotty)

sfhotty — Fri, 09 Aug 2002 09:00:00 GMT

Their burgers are the best quality you can look for in hamburger meat. The price is fair for the quality that you're paying for. You'll feel like you're eating an gourmet burger once you take a bite!

5 Stars: MMMmmmmmm!!! (by marie1978)

I love it when you can bet a burger cooked the way you want it, and at burger joint you do. Good french fries too.

5 Stars: REAL MEAT is off the hook (by mainattraction0)

mainattraction0 — Mon, 22 Jul 2002 09:00:00 GMT

Burger Joint has the best burger in town for a lot of reasons. it has organic meat! Which means that no cheicals or hormones are involved in the processing of of it meat. Eating on organic grass?? Maybe not not but it tastes a whole lot better then the mediciny tasting burgers from non-organic places. If i have a chose I take my money to Burger joint the environment is a perfect fit.
