Reviews for Papa Mak's Burgers in San Francisco, CA
One of the best burgers I?ve had this side of town. Meat was so juicy and perfectly cooked (I had medium rare), the bun was... slightly toasted and the rest of the ingredients were fresh and delicious. Fries were bomb and staff was super friendly. Thankyou!! Read more
I must be in a good mood because this is the fourth perfect review I've had to give out in as many weeks. In reality, my... experience actually wasn't perfect but that was mostly my fault. Okay, all my fault. Let me start by saying that they'reserious when they say half pound patties. Normally, people that start with half pound patties generally burn enough fat out ofthem to roughly make them 2/3 of their original size. Papa Make is an exception. In fact, when A half pound patty goes in, ahalf pound patty comes out. With that in mind, I made the mistake of ordering a double, which meant I ended up with a hamburgerthat was 1 lb of meat. When I say I made a bunch of mistakes, this was one of them. Ultimately, I simply had too much meat on myburger to enjoy the way it should be enjoyed. As an authentic burger joint, they weren't afraid to prepare my burger medium.That can't be said for every burger place. It came with all the fixings that you would expect, but it did come dry, something Ididn't notice until I'd already taken a bite. Yeah, another food review mistake. I turned around from the counter to see theitems I was looking for, including ketchup, mustard, and mayo. I took the opportunity to start my experience over, this timewith all the fixings. After correcting my mistakes, the hamburger was everything you would want it to be, juicy, tender, andperfectly complimented by fresh garnishes. I will note, I was a little bit disappointed that the ketchup did come in packetsinstead of being in some kind of squirtable container. The only other part that slightly disappointed me was the fries. I'malways hypocritical about fries, which you know if you've read some of my other reviews. Overall, I still have to give it fivestars. It's in a great location, the food is spectacular, and the drink selections great. Check it out! Read more
These guys know how to build a burger! I was working in San Francisco a few weeks ago and a coworker recommended this place and... I?m glad he did. And if I?m ever in the area again I?ll definitely be back! Oh yeah and the sweet potato tots are a must. Read more
Tasty place. Friendly service that went above and beyond to cook to my dad's requests (he has no teeth so he needed soft fries).... Burger was a little greasy but flavorful. Fries were AMAZING. They were out of shakes so we didn't get to try. My husband's sideof onion rings were a little oily for him and it came with 3 huge rings. I'd go back :) Read more
Papa Mak makes a tasty burger. I had their papa burger $11.50 + egg $1.50 + cheddar cheese $.75 + truffle fries $3 (to switch... from regular fries) + 805 beer $5. The vegetable portions were small. I would have preferred more than a thin slice of tomatoand red onion. The 1/2 pound burger meat was juicy and had a slight charbroiled taste to it. The truffle fries were wellportioned and had a good crunch. I have no complaints. Good job crew at Papa Mak's. Read more
Decent burger, ok Philly cheesesteak. Chile cheese fries were a little underwhelming and tasteless. We believe After Hours... burgers are better. Read more
Absolutely delicious! Sat in with my family yesterday after a day at the beach. We ordered the lamb burger, fish and chips, and... the kids chicken strips meal. The fish and chips came with three perfectly battered fish, and I upgraded my fries for thetruffle fries that were so addictive. My husband devoured his burger before I could even get a picture and the kids loved thechicken and sweet potato tots. We did really appreciate the tables being wiped down and cleaned after other parties had left. Ithelped me and my husband feel a lot better about our kids being able to safely eat at a public table instead of in the car. Thiswas our first experience here and definitely plan to come back on our next trip to San Fran! Read more
On the corner of Noriega and 45th Av, lovely mom and pops spot. The food is excellent and well-priced. Plenty of street parking... kid friendly! Read more
