One of the best burgers in the peninsula comes from a simple food truck that is just parked on a…read morerandom curb on El Camino. This food truck serves burgers, tacos, and quesadillas, pretty much a microcosm of what people usually eat in the Bay Area -- and what is actually missing in Millbrae because of the concentration of Asian food. It's also quite a high tech food truck, where you order via a giant touch screen. The folks who work the truck are nice, the only downside is that you can't eat the food right there, so it's always a bit cold by the time I get home. The food usually hits the spot, so I can only imagine if I could have it fresh off the grill! The competition between food trucks is pretty high here, so I'm not surprised by the caliber of the food at this truck. It's just such a curious location.

I've been meaning to try Smasherz for a while. Now that I have - NEVER AGAIN! I just ordered a…read morecheeseburger and fries. Simple enough, right? Unfortunately and to my surprise, a person can mess up a burger. It was bland and the fries were trash. I ordered through DoorDash, and there was no option to add condiments for the fries and the instruction box was disabled. At least it was made and delivered quickly (not sure if that helps). Response to the owner: I ordered through my husband's name and out of respect for his privacy, I don't want to post it here. At the time I ordered, the feature to include condiments wasn't there. Regardless of that, the food wasn't good.

Solid burger spot with quick and efficient service. I picked Falafel Burger - The burger itself was…read moregood, though the portion size felt a bit smaller compared to some other burger places. It was also slightly on the drier side, but the coleslaw served alongside helped balance things out nicely and added some freshness to the meal. The place has a casual setup with around 5-7 tables for dining in, though it seemed like most customers were picking up takeout orders. Overall, it's a convenient spot for a quick burger, especially if you're in the area and looking for something simple and satisfying.

This place had a homey diner feel to it. The menu isn't huge, but you have a few different options…read moreof burgers, some sandwich and salad options, and a couple of kids meal selections. I got a giants burger in a lettuce wrap, an order of the small mouth burger, kids sliders, and my husband got a big mouth burger. I also wanted to get a couple of cookies n cream milkshakes but sadly, they did not have that flavor, only vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, and banana. We opted for a couple of vanilla/chocolate swirls instead. The milkshakes came out first - they were on the thicker side so we had to wait a bit for it to melt first, but otherwise were creamy, sweet, and delicious. The kids enjoyed their meals - the small mouth burger came with additional toppings like pickles and onions on the side. The sliders were plain. My giants burger came out initially with no onion rings but the staff proactively realized their mistake and brought this out to me on the side. However, they also forgot the BBQ sauce that was supposed to come with it, which would have been a nice touch. The patty was a bit on the salty side. All the meals had fries on the side, with the giants burger coming with garlic/parmesan fries.

My wife and I were in the mood for burgers in the area and we wanted to give this place a shot…read more When we got there, the location looked like it was closed but that was because they were at a different location that day. I would recommend looking up their instagram just in case this happens to you. The team was kind and patient as it was my first time there. I ordered the loaded fries with a patty and it was delicious. The burger patty was seasoned and juicy. The fries were crispy similar to In n Out fries. With the sauce they used for the fries, I feel like I got a burger and then some. For the price, that will probably be my go to order since it is more filling than one burger. Overall, good food and I will try again at the original location.

You know it's gonna be good when there is only two burger items on the menu! We didn't realize they…read moreopened at 1pm that day so we were among the first few to order. The wait still did take a little while. But without exaggeration, this was the best smash burger I've ever had! The patty had that perfect crisp on the outside from wing smashed, and the flavoring was amazing. The fries was also so good, I love the cut and crispiness along with the sauce. Pairing it with Fieldwork Brewery next door elevated the experience. Definitely coming back!

The menu is great with lots of kids options…read more The food isn't super consistent, but we love how parking is easy, service is friendly and accommodating, the kids really enjoy the caltrain whizzing by, and there is space for larger groups. My son loves to get the 2 slider kids menu item and douse it in ketchup. The regular hamburger is pretty good but I still have yet to try the other burgers and chicken sandwiches. They look really good! The restaurant is unpretentious, spacious, and we didnt feel self conscious with having a very excited toddler yelling "choo-choo train!!" every time a train passed. Highly recommended! They also have a covered outdoor space for private events as well! Might need to cater from them for a birthday in the near future!

Finally popped in to try Maverick Jack's. We arrived on a Saturday night and were seated…read moreimmediately. We initially sat outside on their patio (which was quite nice) and moved inside as the night got colder. We ordered one classic burger with American cheese and one Outlaw. We also subbed our fries for parmesan garlic fries and tots. The burgers were really tasty; we especially enjoyed the classic burger. The tots were also great - crispy and perfectly fried. The parmesan garlic fries had good flavor but were too oily for our liking. For drinks, we got a blonde bombshell shake which was vanilla with strawberry drizzle around the glass. Service was very friendly and attentive, and their seating (both indoor and outdoor) is comfortable and spacious. As we ate our meal, we had a window view of the sunset. Our dinner came out to $70+ which was a bit steep but we enjoyed our experience.

It's a bit hidden, which fits the name, but is a low-key bar with a solid menu. We actually ate the sandwiches the next day on the airplane, and even then they held up really well. They definitely don't skimp on toppings, and everything tasted fresh. We tried Dutch crunch on both, one pastrami and one turkey, and I enjoyed both. Will definitely need to come back and try the burgers everyone raves about!

Why 4 stars? Because the burger was massive and enjoyable…read more --- --- --- I put an embarrassing amount of thought into what I was going to eat for my final meal before heading back to SFO and getting out of town, and eventually landed on Hidden Spot. When I looked at the online ordering, it said it would take about 20 minutes, and my hotel was about a 20 minute ride away, so that worked out perfectly. I ordered the Sheriff and some seasoned fries and got on the road. Both the burger and fries were hearty and hit the spot. Overall, this perfectly nails a 4-star experience. The burger wasn't some kind of next level amazing, but it was just a perfectly enjoyable way to end my 4 days in the Bay Area. Hidden Spot is essentially the kitchen portion of a dive bar. I sat at a table with only one other patron in the place around 11am on a Saturday morning. The other patron was enjoying the ability to be fully in charge of the digital juke box while I was enjoying stuffing my face.

Super Duper Hamburger - Serramonte…read more Walked in craving something big and left happy. Ordered the Double Hamburger plus their Garlic Fries. Burger: two patties that actually taste like beef, still pink in the center, juice running down your wrist in the best way; soft toasted bun that doesn't fall apart. Garlic Fries: thin, crisp, tossed with what tastes like fresh minced garlic and parsley--impossible to stop eating. No fancy plating, just paper and a tray, but you won't care. Simple, hot, messy, worth it.

Even though my experiences here have been a little mixed, don't get confused - I LOVE Super Duper…read more Other than one truly disappointing visit I made to their spot in the Marina over a decade ago, the rest of my experiences have ranged from pretty good to down right awesome. However, I have to admit that our most recent visit to this particular location now makes it two times that I've been let down. Compared to the Super Duper locations that I've been to in SF (SoMa, FiDi, Marina, and Laurel Village), this one lacks that neighborhood feel to it, but it makes sense given how it's located at Serramonte. That said, with its two long high-top tables, handful of booths, two-tops, and outdoor patio area, this one offers way more seating whether it be for groups large or small. Similarly, the menu not only offers all of Super Duper's usual offerings (burgers, fries, salads, breakfast sandwich, shakes, and soft serve), but it also has featured/seasonal specials as well as the fried chicken sandwiches and tenders from their sister eatery in SF, the Bird. -- TRUFFLE BURGER - Urbani Truffle Butter, Grilled Onions, Portobello Mushrooms, Monterey Jack Cheese, and Super Sauce...$12.50 (Single Patty) Sadly, the taste of the truffle butter wasn't that strong (though, this still felt luscious), but I really liked how well the grilled onions, cheese, and mushrooms worked together. So, as underwhelming as this was as a "truffle burger", this was great as a "mushroom burger". -- GARLIC FRIES Topped with Parmesan Cheese...$4.75 From past experiences, I know this can be hit or miss depending on how garlicky it is and, unfortunately, this was light on garlic. Still, everything else about this was pretty solid. The fries themselves were cooked well and I loved how this was LOADED with Parmesan. -- MINI BURGER with Lettuce, Tomato, Red Onions, Jack Cheese (+$.75), and Bacon (+$1.50)...$7.50 Not as good as other times I've had it, but still not bad. The veggies were fresh and the bun was soft, but the patty didn't feel as juicy this time and didn't have that bit of char either. Also, the bacon was really thin and while the jack cheese was gooey, their cheddar is way better. -- CLASSIC FRIED CHICKEN SANDWICH (from the Bird)...$10.75 WTF was this? The one I had at the Bird in SoMa was great; this was not. While we both thought the bun and slaw were fine, the fried chicken was terrible - the batter wasn't crispy (part of it felt almost rubbery/spongy) and the chicken had a sort of stringy texture to it. Despite how convenient this Super Duper may be, especially whenever I'm out this way to do shopping (there's tons of parking), I don't know if/when I would come back again. I certainly won't be getting the fried chicken sandwich again if I do (and perhaps anywhere else), but even the Mini Burger wasn't as satisfying as usual. Given how well all of my past visits have gone, I might just stick to my usual go-to Super Duper in Laurel Village, though I'd still like to check out their recently opened spot in the Inner Sunset. THREE AND A HALF STARS for the two burgers and fries which I would round up for, but rounding down just because of the fried chicken sandwich.

Their bacon is the first thing that was gone because it's just that good. I do wish there was more cheese on the burger but that's not a big issues their fries are very good but the star of the show was definitely their house sauce. We ordered it on the side and dipped into it instead. Their wings are extremely saucy yet crispy! I honestly would give this place a 5 stars but they are definitely overpriced. I do wish they had napkins at the table or even next to the water station because we kept having to ask for napkins. I'd like to point out the guy working at the front was incredibly kind and outgoing. I will definitely be coming here again to try more of their menu items. Overall this place is great and definitely a hidden gem I would absolutely recommend this place as it's super cozy inside and has amazing food. :)

We ordered entrees to share, we had the Cobb salad, fish &chips and bangers & mash, WOW, JUST WOW. We ended with the lemon tart, it made my mouth pucker is a good way. The Irish was so tasty we look home a loaf. So glad my sister found it and suggested we come, we will definitely return and enjoy this establishment for years to come. the service was top notch, all the servers were excellent, friendly and we received the best service.

I'll definitely be back to try more of the food.

Went to In-N-Out thinking it'd just be a quick food run -- turned into one of those meals you…read moreactually sit and enjoy without rushing. Ordered the Double-Double animal style, and yeah... it lives up to the hype. The patties taste fresh, not frozen, and you can tell they're made to order. The melted cheese, grilled onions, pickles, that sauce -- it's messy but balanced. Nothing feels overdone. It's just a really well-built burger. Fries get mixed opinions, but straight out of the fryer they're solid. Light, a little crispy, not overly greasy. Add a bit of salt and they're gone fast. Shake was thick, classic, no shortcuts there either. What stands out most is how consistent everything feels. The menu is simple, but that's the point -- they focus on doing a few things really well instead of trying to do everything. Service is quick, staff actually seem organized, and the place stays clean even when it's busy. It's one of those spots where you don't feel like you overpaid or got rushed through a line. You just get good food, made right, every time. Came in expecting fast food, left feeling like it's in its own category. Easy 5 stars -- and yeah, I'd go back without thinking twice.

After 12 years, we have returned to this In-N-Out after a long flight into SFO. It is 10:30pm and…read moreit's still packed in here with a long line to the drive-thru that snakes through the entire parking lot. It is really conveniently located right across Hwy 101 from the airport, so you can grab a burger before or after your flight or both until 1am. I have to have my double-double animal style with 2 fresh beef patties, 2 slices of cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion & spread. Spread is In-N-Out's secret sauce and you can get extra packets for squirting on burgers & fries. You can explore other options on their secret menu like protein style, onion wrap or flying dutchman, but I've settled on animal style as my favorite. I still haven't tried extra patties & cheese beyond 3x3, but there's still time in this life. The fries are always fresh cut and double-fried to perfection. You should see the fry guy go to town, ramming whole potatoes through the wall mounted cutter with a vengeance. Fries come out of the oil crispy on the outside and steamy on the inside. They must have just changed the frying oil that day because our fries were very light tan (almost white) despite being crispy. If you like your fries extra crunchy, you can order them "well done". You can also get melted cheese fries and animal fries with cheese, grilled onions & spread. Don't forget the ice cream shakes in vanilla, chocolate or strawberry. Shakes are made the old-fashioned way with soft serve ice cream and blended in the cup. The secret menu has a mix of all 3 flavors, if you order the Neapolitan shake.
