"So we ended up with hamburgers, which at Zuni, is a plat that shows their precision to the details on something that’s seemingly very simple."

Martha Stewart

"These burgers are the specialty of the house at the Zuni Cafe in San Francisco."

Michael Bauer

"When anyone mentions hamburgers in San Francisco, one name immediately comes to mind: Zuni Café. While Bay Area residents can't agree on politics—or the best burrito, for that matter—the general consensus is that this is the best burger."

Dan Myers

"The 101 Best Burgers in America: Zuni Café - The lunch-only grass-fed burger at this San Francisco classic is ground in-house, medium-lean, and comes on grilled rosemary focaccia slathered with aïoli. Beecher's Flagship or Bayley Hazen blue are available options, as are grilled onions or sliced heirloom tomatoes."

Kevin Alexander

"There is a reason it has been a legend for so long, and that reason is the perfect combination of salty, fatty meat; cool aioli/vinegar pickles; and a surprisingly light and airy focaccia that complements it all. If you want to get crazy you can add grilled onions and some Beecher’s Flagship cheese, but it doesn’t need it all. The meat stands alone."

Lawrence Marcus

"Best Burgers in the U.S.: Zuni Café - Instead of traditional cucumber pickles, legendary chef-owner Judy Rodgers accents her burgers with thin-cut zucchini strips pickled in apple cider vinegar, mustard seeds and turmeric."

SF Weekly

"There's so much other good stuff on the menu at Zuni that we tend to forget that the place makes the juiciest, most delicious hamburger around: 6 ounces of Niman Ranch beef, ground in-house, served on rosemary focaccia with garden lettuces, garlicky aioli, and the restaurant's own famous pickles."

SFGate

"Zuni Cafe's house-ground hamburger meat resulted in one of the best burgers in the City."
