Sam's Burgers

Sam’s Burgers is a no frills, high quality burger joint featuring burgers declared to be “top three in the world” by Anthony Bourdain in a 2012 episode of The Travel Channel’s “The Layover.” What makes Sam’s special is the feeling of home. The counter seating with original red stools gives customers a front row seat to the action, striking up conversations with long-time employees. The interior is adorned with neon signs, autographs of famous people, and pictures of locals who have eaten at Sam’s. The kitchen faces the street with a large glass showcase, and the large exterior neon sign is visible from blocks away. Sam’s Burgers is a place where people can get a taste of San Francisco across generations.
