I've been here quite a few times now, and it has honestly never let me down. I usually play it safe and order one of their burgers with fries which, to be fair, is hard to mess up--but on my most recent visit, I decided to try the monthly special: the Crispy Chicken Tacos. I'll admit, I was a little skeptical because it only came with two tacos, and I was starving. I almost ordered a second serving, but I'm so glad I didn't... or maybe I should have because they were that good. The chicken was perfectly crispy, and you could actually taste the hot honey without it overpowering everything else. It paired so well with the corn, slaw, and sauce, creating the perfect balance of sweet, savory, and fresh. And that squeeze of lemon on top? It brought everything together. Easily one of the best specials I've had in a while. One thing I also appreciated was how extensive the menu is. Since I almost always order a burger, I hadn't realized how many options they offer. My friend and I came with our kids, and everyone found something they were excited to eat, which made ordering easy. We grabbed one of the outdoor tables since we stopped by after the lunch rush on a weekday. The seating itself was nice, but be prepared to share the space with some very bold birds. One especially large bird was absolutely determined to steal our food. Obviously that's not the restaurant's fault, but it's worth mentioning if you're hoping for a quiet, uninterrupted meal outside. I can also see this place getting pretty hectic during peak hours, so if your schedule is flexible, I'd recommend stopping by outside the lunch rush. Overall, though, this spot continues to be one of my go-to places, and I'll definitely be back. read more

Weekday line wasn't long and we found some tables outside to sit at. I had a few modifications on my order and everything came out correctly. Little bit of a wait but the place was quite busy. The staff was so kind and patient with everyone. Food hit the spot and everyone at the table devoured their food. Been to a few Gott's before but the patio was lovely! read more

Gott's Ferry Building - Chicken burger - Burgers Near Me - San Francisco, California

This was my 1st time at Gott's. The line was long signaling a popular place so I expected the food to be worth the wait, but surprisingly the line moved swiftly and our order was ready fairly quickly. The bugers, fries, sweet potato fires, onion rings and fried green tomatoes we shared were all excellent and the outdoor patio on a pleasant SF day was a nice treat. All of our staff interactions were appropriate and the service during our time there was friendly. read more

I went to Ferry Fest today and my friend and I decided to get an early dinner before the last band started. The long line was expected but it went fairly quickly. The woman at the counter was really friendly. I used to work retail and dealing with customers, even at the start of the shift, can wear you down pretty quick. So I gotta give props to her for being positive during this very busy day. I got the crispy hot honey chicken tacos, which is one of this month's specials. It came with delicious sweet corn, cabbage slaw, chipotle mayo, and a cilantro-lime crema. It's basically the flavors of elote with fried chicken and it yummy! The breading on the chicken was even and crisp. And I enjoyed the spicy-sweet flavor of the honey, which complemented the chipotle mayo. I also enjoyed the crunch from the cabbage and the softness of the flour tortilla. I paired with it the fried Brussels sprouts to get another veggie into my meal. Though I do love very charred sprouts, there was a hint of bitterness. I may have needed more lime to cut that. The jalapeño mayo was good. But I think tossing it in pork fat is the way to go with Brussels sprouts to really pump up the flavor. I'm not sure what oil they fry it in. I think I'll stick to their sweet potato fries, which never disappoints. It's always busy there, but it's never too difficult to find a place to sit. It's shared seating, with long tables inside and large tables outside. But my friend and I took it to go so we can have dinner with the show. And the timing was perfect - we didn't wait too long to get our order and we arrived about 20mins before the band started. The quality of Gott's has been consistent over the years across their locations. So it's a tried and true place to get a delicious meal. read more

Closer to a 3.5 rating than anything else. The line for this spot on a weekend afternoon looked manageable but the wait ended up being longer than anticipated. They had 3 or so workers but the setup didn't look conducive to getting through orders quickly, with essentially one person just stationed at the iPad to charge customers. Would have been a higher rating if service was a bit faster & better but still a decent spot I'd revisit. The shop is in the iconic Ferry Building so lots to eat & shop around the area. I had the organic vanilla soft serve with a kid's cone & it was delicious, perfectly creamy & great portion size. Prices are about what you would expect in SF. I would come back to try their dairy-free vanilla soft serve! read more

Gott's Ferry Building - Straus Organic Vanilla - Burgers Near Me - San Francisco, California

Gott's Roadside has a soft serve ice cream shop located at the Ferry Building, offers a delightful combination of cookies and ice cream. As a loyal customer, I make it a point to visit Gott's on my way back home, especially when I crave my favorite flavor, Salted Butter Caramel. While the prices may be a bit steep for ice cream, at $5.95 per scoop, the quality and taste are simply unbeatable. read more

Soft serve ice cream. Tried their Straus Vanilla and can definitely stand behind Strauss quality! Will have to come back and try some other flavors. For a little sweet treat, it is not a bad price as most places! Check it out! Also note, they have a "Soft Serve" booth that is completely separate from the restaurant! I have not tried their burgers, but will give it a try at some point. read more

One of the things we really liked about this place was the nice bar next to it. They had a good selection of wines by the glass, including Rombauer Chardonnay, and the pricing was actually very reasonable. The burger was very full and generously packed with ingredients. The chicken nuggets portion was surprisingly large, and the fries were also very tasty. It was also one of those rare beautiful sunny San Francisco afternoons. Usually whenever we visit the city, the weather is cloudy, so being able to sit outside and enjoy the sunshine made the experience even better. The only small negative thing I would mention is that the wait time felt a bit long even though it did not seem overwhelmingly crowded. But honestly, I can understand it, maybe because they prepare everything carefully and fresh. Would I come back again? Absolutely. read more

We went for the Ferry Building festival. We had to wait in the line because there were so many people. It was definitely worth the wait. The staff were friendly and helpful. They kept the line moving. I had the Gruyère with sautéed onions. I think it was one of the best burgers I've ever had. It was very cheesy and the onions were perfect. My friend had the chop salad. She said it was very good. My other friend had the chicken tacos they looked delicious and she said that it was. . We sat inside because it was quite warm outside. It was a table with stools and there were tables with benches outside. read more

I ate here again for the first time in a couple years and was a much bigger fan this time around. I got the monthly special chicken Parmesan sandwich and it was great! The sandwich was massive and kinda hard to eat, but overall it met all my expectations. I do think their fries and some of the other items are a bit bland, but the sandwich was a standout to me. I will also say the soft serve deserves a review of its own - this is some of the best soft serve I've ever had and I truly get it almost any time I go to the ferry building. It really is so good read more

Food is an excellent value for the area. $35 for my husband and I to get burgers and a fry. (I got a double cheese burger and he got a hamburger). Bun was an excellent brioche with tons of cheese. I loved the pickles and sauce. I'd prefer a medium rare but understand medium is the go-to in a fast food setting. This IS fast food but elevated by the quality. Easy outdoor seating with a water station perfect for the walking we do along the Piers. Four stars because the patio is open and on the sidewalk so it's got an odor that isn't pleasant. We went inside to eat but the patio would be good for having a cold beer and people watching. Service is adequate for a quick burger spot. read more

THE HOT SAUCE was peak! Dropped by for lunch on Tuesday. The line was short and moved fairly quickly despite the peak lunch hours. What we got: - Chicken Schnitzel ~ Very photogenic. Huge piece of fried chicken breast. Beautiful and colorful, but lacked flavor. Although the generous amount of Arugula was a plus, it overpowered the burger. I ended up eating that first to get my veggies in. The pickled turnips/radish added nothing but color. Halfway through, the burger felt dry and flavorless. The hot sauce came to the rescue! - Western Bacon Blue Ring ~ Solid burger. Juicy burger. Bbq sauce added the perfect tang to balance the blue cheese. Crispy onion rings were a great touch! - Onion Rings ~ MASSIVE. Crunchy on the outside, well-battered rings on the inside. One of the rings was three rings coated and stuck together, which was a decent surprise! - Chili ~ Decent. Very cheesy. All in all, a solid place. But the hot sauce was a gem! Perfect for onion ring dipping or burger drenching! read more

On a recent trip to San Francisco,after a beautiful ride on the Vallejo Ferry I found myself a little hungry so I decided to stop by Gott's Roadside for a quick lunch. This is the kind of place where u walk up to the counter and order off of a menu on the wall-Today after looking over the really good menu,I went with the Green Chile Cheeseburger ($10.99) & Garlic Fries ($3.99). The cheeseburger was very good-super tasty-solid value-pretty spicy-it had Anaheim Chile,jack cheese,jalapeño mayo-I liked it quite a bit-I would order it again for sure.The Garlic fries were well made,they were doused in some serious garlic butter-very tasty. This place features a pretty extensive beer and wine menu,though we didn't get to indulge on that part of the menu on this trip-good to know they had solid options available.I also noticed that they offered a pretty good shake and soft serve menu-which I also didn't partake in,but I'm sure I would've enjoyed it. In closing-if u ever find yourself in San Francisco near the Ferry Building and looking for a solid spot for a good lunch-I would fully recommend Gott's Roadside-good eats and a fun lively environment-what more can you ask for. read more

Phenomenal Organic Soft Serve at the Ferry Building! We stopped by Gott's Soft Serve at the SF Ferry Building location and were absolutely blown away. If you are looking for high-quality, flavorful organic treats, this place is an absolute must-visit. I got the Valley Ford Salted Caramel ice cream in a cup, and it is hands down one of the best I have ever had. The texture was absolutely perfect, and the balance of the rich caramel flavor and sweetness was heavenly. My son ordered the Straus Organic Dutch Chocolate in a waffle cone and enjoyed it a lot. My daughter went with the Straus Organic Vanilla with sprinkles in a cone, and she loved it just as much. You can really taste the quality of the premium organic ingredients they use. I highly recommend Gott's Soft Serve for an amazing treat when you're in the area! read more

Nothing better than grabbing a chicken tenders kids meal from this place. It was one of the first places I tried when I moved to SF and it has always been a great place to fall back on. It is conveniently located in the Ferry Building, so you can eat with a good view or maybe enjoy a sweet treat later. The price, for the kids meal, is SO worth the quantity of food I get. They also have a good amount of seating, both indoors and outdoors. Definitely check this place out! read more

THE BIG: This Gott's location is inside the Ferry building of San Francisco. No seating as it's mainly order to go type fare. Limited parking, rideshare is the best way to get here. THE BLACK AND WHITE: The wife and I came to the Ferry building to do all the tourist things and saw straus vanilla ice cream being sold. I bought a gallon of the straus milk earlier that day and loved the taste. Fortunately there wasn't a big of a line and we got a cone of the vanilla ice cream. Super creamy and decadent. I'd have two if it wasn't a sin to have two. Gott's also sells burgers which didn't sound too appetizing but I do recommend the ice cream. THE FINAL BAMBOO: Overall for a cone of the vanilla straus ice cream, the damage done was around $5. Ice cream was super delicious and def be back to try more stuff. read more

Gott's satisfied my craving for chicken tenders and fries on a cold, SF day. On Friday at noon, the line was going by fast to order so we didn't have to wait long at all. The staff is always so kind and helpful! At this time, there were still seats both inside and outside. It was a beautiful day with plenty of families eating here at the time. It took about 10-15 minutes for the food to be ready to pick up at the counter. The chicken tenders had a nice crunchy texture and I loved the teriyaki sauce that it was brushed in. The sweet potato fries were nice and crispy - these were delicious to dip into the sauces. You can't go wrong with Gott's as there's always so much to try! read more

Cute spot in the Ferry Building with a street-facing side that serves food and a side in the building that only serves soft serve. We stopped by for soft serve after a Giants game so the line was long but service was quick. Two vegan options: oat milk vanilla and oat milk chocolate. The vanilla soft serve with mini M&Ms and chocolate soft serve were both creamy and rich. We also tried the oat milk chocolate, and the texture was good but would have preferred a stronger chocolate taste and less of an oat milk taste. read more

A fun stop at the ferry building. We ordered the chicken tenders, garlic fries, and tuna burger.

I was at the Ferry Bldg around lunch so I decided to stop here. I was hungry. I ordered a Texas Burger( I think that's the name) it had avocado and jalapeño. The menu said burger was okay but nothing different from other places. It wasn't. There really is t service since you order from the counter and pick up your own tray from the counter. Why do these foo places ask for a service tip when it is all counter service? Does anyone know? You get your own ketchup and pick up your food from the counter. The ambiance is an open burger place. It's like any other. They have high tables and lower tables as well as outside seating It's a little pricey for a burger. I had burger, onion rings and side for over $30. read more

-- Ambiance -- 4/5 The interior was very spacious. It gave me a nice fast food / futuristic diner kind of vibe. Big TV to watch sports. -- Service -- 3/5 Soild Service. There is no waiters just cashiers. When I got my order the gentlemen told me if I needed any sauce it on the counter on the side. That was great information because I didn't even see it. Food did take quite a long time. -- Food -- 3/5 Dish Ordered: California Burger w Garlic Fries Taste: The buns was a little lacking. inconsistent texture. Sad because I really like brioche buns. The meat was seasoned nicely but lacked in quality. The taste from the onion , bacon , eggs. Gave me a nice Gushing of flavors. The fries was fried perfectly. Nice and Crunchy. Seasoned nicely. However it taste more like garlic oil on the fries than actually garlic. Personally I like my garlic fries with nice minced garlic on top. Smell: The Fries smelled delicious. Nice strong garlic aroma. Presentation: Okay. Nothing Special. Additional Comments: I was walking around the Ferry Building. I happen to be craving a burger. Overall Rating : 3.5 read more

Came to the Ferry Building for lunch and decided to stop by Gott's. It was my first time here and I was pleasantly surprised at how good my gruyère and caramelized onion burger was. It was not too dry and very flavorful. Cooked medium as advertised. Definitely super messy to eat as the onions dripped everywhere, and very filling! Food came out fast and service was efficient. Plenty of seating inside and also outside the ferry building. I would come back for the soft serve since I've heard so much about it! read more

Gott's Ferry Building - gruyère and caramelized onion burger - Burgers Near Me - San Francisco, California

It was overcast in SF on Saturday. I tried this burger spot for the first time. I rarely have American-style burgers normally, but this one felt really unique. Their bacon is cooked slightly crispy and charred, which I think is meant to give it a nice crunch. The beef patty is super thick, and one whole burger was a little too filling for me. The fries are topped with a special kind of thin chives, and they taste amazing with ketchup. It's a bit hard to find if you walk through the mall. You have to exit through one door first, then head back in to get to the restaurant. read more

I'm pretty picky with burgers because I don't eat them often, and Gott's hit the mark! The California burger is one of my ideal burgers and tasted balanced with the fried egg, salty bacon, bitter arugula, and tart yet sweet balsamic onions. I enjoyed the gruyere and caramelized onion burger, but I wish it had other vegetables or toppings to cut through the richness. I was impressed by how the buns were so soft and fluffy but didn't get smushed. I'm happy that the burger was pretty easy to eat and stayed in tact after each bite. While the burgers were great, the sides we got were okay. The sweet potatoes fries could've been crispier, and for the onion rings, I prefer other types of breading as this one had a hard fry. read more

TLDR Gott's is your local, feel-good burger spot with a twist. Yes they have the typical burgers you know and love, but they also have a long list of more unique combinations. Want kimchi, fried eggs, turkey patties, or completely vegan sandwiches? You can find all of that at Gott's, plus better-than-average desserts that might be the real reason to want to dine here. If you're craving a huge cookie, phenomenal Strauss soft serve, and maybe a sandwich on the side, Gott's is the place for you. ------ FOOD 1) CONFETTI COOKIE (5/5) Like all their cookies, it's huge and so fun to eat. It's not too sweet, was not dry at all, and doesn't taste artificial like most sprinkle-covered cookies. I don't usually like this kind of dessert so this was a welcome surprise. 2) ONION RINGS (4/5) Solid onion rings. Batter is tasty and fried quite well. Batter is on the thicker side, but I think that's ok given the batter itself has a good flavor and that allows the ring to maintain their crisp, even after delivery. 3) PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE COOKIE (4/5) The flavors of this cookie were excellent but it was a tiny bit dry which is why it's not a 5/5. They're very generous with the peanut butter chips throughout the cookie and they have a deep, natural flavor. They almost taste like they were homemade with real peanuts and minimal added sugar, which is way better than those artificial and super sweet peanut butter chips you can find in some other desserts. Gott's cookies are quite well done. 4) TURKEY CALIFORNIA BURGER (3/5) Overall was good and I appreciated the turkey burger option if you want to feel ~healthy~ eating a burger and desserts. That being said, I think the sandwich overall lacked moisture given the patty was dry and the buns didn't help. Maybe more sauce, or a runnier egg, or a slice of tomato could have helped. 5) REGULAR FRIES (2/5) I can't recommend these. Very dry and not that crispy, though we did get this delivered so I assume these taste better fresh. However, Gott's has plenty of other fantastic sides so it's no problem if the regular fries aren't perfect! ------ ENVIRONMENT We got our order delivered but I've been to the physical location in the Ferry Building countless times. They have a huge space with both indoor and outdoor seating areas. Sometimes there's a line but it moves quickly, you get a buzzer for your order, and you can take a seat somewhere while you wait for your food to be ready. The Ferry Building location is convenient, beautiful, and adds to Gott's charm, especially if you know it from its Napa roots. read more

While walking the Ferry Building, I saw the bright lights and new counters across the way from the old Out the Door stand. Curiosity led me to take some photos as I was in a rush doing errands that morning. I returned a few days later and made a point to check them out. There are only four flavors so I decided to try two. I started with the chocolate chip cookie (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=mfae_drb_P04nXaSBxD6lA), house made with Gusto's premium gourmet flour and two kinds of Guittard chocolate; this was a soft batch thin cookie, tasty and not overly sweet. I also tried the double chocolate peanut butter cookie (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=mfae_drb_P04nXaSBxD6lA), house-made with Gusto's premium gourmet flour and Guittard cocoa and bittersweet chips and Reese's Peanut Butter Chips; this was dense and heavy in flavor yet again not overly sweet. Not knowing that they offered flavored milk until later reading on their email and in their website, I didn't try it. Thank you, Brendan, for packing my cookies and giving me a little background on the stand. I will try one of the flavored milk offerings on my next visit. read more

I came back to Gott's to eat their actual food. You order at the cashier and receive a pager that will alert you when your food is ready. There are lots of tables inside, although most of them are high tops. So if you have young kids, your better option will be the big benches outside. Luckily it was a nice day so we chose to sit outside and people watch. There are self serve condiments and water available. Our food order took about 15 minutes to come out. Our family got an order of the gruyere and caramelized onion burger, a kimchi burger on lettuce wrap, a kids cheeseburger, and a kids mini corn dogs (comes with 6). The kids meal come with fries and your choice of lemonade, water, or fountain drink. In general, the food was well cooked and everyone was a fan of the taste and texture. I, however, was pretty disappointed with my kimchi burger. I thought the gochujang sauce made things overly salty and there was too much of the sauce in relation to the rest of the burger. Gochujang sauce can be a pretty bold flavor so the ratio of it should be less. And because I chose to get a lettuce wrap for my burger, there was nothing to soak up the sauce so it ended being a giant mess to eat and got everywhere. read more

The grilled pineapple burger is by far one of the best burger I have had. The flavors were so complex and went so well together.

Visited SFO for only 3 days of which I had burgers from Gott 2 days in a row. read more
