Frommer's Review

This simple diner offers a straightforward but winning combination: big, thick, grilled patties of fresh-ground, best-quality, center-cut chuck; fresh french fries; and choice of cabbage slaw, sautéed garlic mushrooms, or chili. Voilà! You've got the city's burger of choice (Zuni Café's is a contender, but is almost twice the price). The other food -- spicy chicken sandwiches; steak with veggies, garlic bread, and potatoes; and token veggie dishes -- is also up to snuff, but that messy, memorable burger is what keeps the carnivores captivated (the sinisterly sweet shakes are fantastic, too). Bargain-diners will appreciate prices, with burgers ranging from $5.95 for a classic to $7.95 for an "Alpine" burger with Gruyère cheese and sautéed mushrooms. Entrees start at $9 for meatloaf with mashed potatoes, garlic bread, and a vegetable, and top out at $17 for New York steak. The classic breakfast menu is also a bargain. A second location at SoMa's Yerba Buena Gardens, 772 Folsom St., between Third and Fourth streets (tel. 415/957-3779), is open Monday from 10am to 5pm, Tuesday through Friday from 10am to 8pm, Saturday from 9am to 8pm, and Sunday from 9am to 5pm. It features breakfast and burgers.
