This place is a hidden gem for burger lovers. Simple, cheap and delicious. Get the Anthony Bourdain special (he famously visited this spot for a drunken burger after a nice bar crawl in Chinatown).

Mike Winston

It's big. It's messy. It's cheap . It's simple and delicious. It's exactly what you want from an old school griddled cheeseburger . WinstonWanders.com

Victoria Lubach

Great late night food stop! Excellent service . Probably the nicest cook in the city ! Burger special and fried chicken special were both bomb!

Daniele Codega

Random, super-small, dirty-place just the way I like it. Plus Anthony Bourdain thinks that this is in the top 3 best burgers in the world!

Sarah Strehler

Thank god for Sam's after you've had too many Mai Thai's at Lepo Lounge down the street..... late night , greasy, delicious burger . Cash only !

Amber

Home diner feel, best burgers after midnight in SF, historic icon, a mountain of fries is one serving... You can't go wrong

The paddy is grilled just the perfect medium, with the two cheese slices hitting you upfront, a load of beef , and riding the rest of the way down with the vegetable textures and the trail of mustard . Read more

One of the best grease-burgers in SF will soothe your broken soul after you leave alone from one of the nearby strip clubs

William Johnson

No frills, hole in the wall type of joint I love with a classic burger without compare. Extra credit points for serving food on paper plates!

Kevin Ripper

Believe the hype. Yes the burgers are some of the best on this Earth. And yes there's no reason to get that pizza .

Double cheeseburger is nice.

Abood Abussaud

Maybe my expectations were too high because of what I heard, but I was not impressed.. I think the patty was too thin, it tasted good but not as much as my expectations.. I blame my friends lol
