The ambiance at this place was warm and inviting, and the staff was exceptionally kind! The burger was larger than I anticipated, but it was delicious with a juicy and rich flavor that I thoroughly enjoyed. I highly recommend it! The fries were also outstanding - I couldn't get enough of them. Thank you for a wonderful experience:D

This is by far one of the BEST burgers I have ever had. When I first tried them when moving to SF, I was skeptical because of the area. Don’t let that fool you, this Pearl’s Deluxe with cheese is hands down best burger I think I’ve ever had. Word is TripAdvisor said it’s #7 best burger on earth you must try and I agree. Have I had better? Not that I can recall. This $12 burger is better than $40 burgers I’ve tried…. Seriously. Do NOT miss out on trying this when visiting or if living here in SF.

Absolutely fantastic burgers. Cooks do a great job getting the perfect medium rare, so you can actually taste the meat. Course, you can order it whatever way you want too. Burgers are generous in size and the right shape (wide burger over a tall one always!). Fries are freshly fried and generous too. Shakes are thick and well worth the price. Only problem is the place is so small. Should try expanding so it's easier to grab a seat. Definitely the best burger place I've had in SF in years!

This was a solid mushroom burger! It tasted as good as it looked. Coleslaw was homemade and was delicious. Could not pass on the sweet potato fries. Definitely make a stop over to Pearl’s to judge for yourself.

It's a small but simple burger shop that just does great burgers. Juicy, tender, bacon was nicely cooked, not over done and just the right amount of sauce.

Pearl’s Deluxe Burgers is a gem in the hiding in Nob Hill. Small cozy place with a great variety of burgers and different types of meat you can choose (Even Vegetarian). We had special burgers with Kobe Beef substitute. Was a great choice, juicy perfectly cooked meat with tasty ingredients. VERY BIG burgers so be very hungry, service was good, quick and very attentive. This will be my go to burger 🍔 whenever I’m in town so be sure to give it a try 👍🏻

One of the best fast food burgers I have ever had, portions are big for a very fair price. I ordered two only finished, the meat is so fresh that they put little seasoning to it, the mushroom burger comes with A LOT of mushrooms.

Cobb Salad, Bacon Cheese Burger, Ultimate Pearl, Chili Cheese fries, Frings, Chocolate Peanut butter shake. All were excellent. Burgers were so huge i could only eat 1/3 of mine and a few Frings. I had to save room for the delectable milk shake. I would come back here just for that!!! Friendly service, small store with seating for around 12 people. All in all a pretty low/moderately priced burger.

Tried the king burger, it did not disappoint. Great burger. Service was fast and friendly. Not really a sit down place, although they do have a few tables.

Went 2 times there. Very limited places to seat. Could become packed quickly. Had a phat burger with onion rings the first time and the teriaky burger. Phat burger was much better. Small prices, good meat.

A really nice place to eat lunch. We went there at 3 om and got our food in under 10 minutes. The burgers were tasty and the patty juicy. I would definitely recommend the place.

What a hidden gem this place is. Love the small cozy feel of this tiny restaurant. Must dine in for full experience. If you are a spicy lover go for the Spicey Sly. Just the right amount of heat. Beware this burger is messy to eat but all great burgers are! Fries are crispy. Little on the high side at $24 for a meal but well worth it!

Let's get the unpleasant bits out of the way: Pearl's Deluxe Burgers is a hole-in-the-wall eatery bordering the worst part of SF: the dreaded Tenderloin, aka "Home Sweet Home" to me. Ah! The unending shrieks of fire sirens and ambulances! The piles of needles choking the sidewalks! The uncollected rubbish! The various urine smells! The gun battles! The feces! 🥹🥰 (Move? Are you kidding? I have a rent controlled apartment, pal! Fat chance!) If you can stomach that, then Pearl's offers an oasis for the tastebuds, and rewards the adventurous gastronome with perhaps the most succulent hamburger anywhere. On this occasion, I splurged on a Kobe beef pesto burger, which was worth every penny of the upgrade. Bursting with juice from the first bite, the delightfully seasoned and perfectly cooked patty bestowed a rich, decadent silkiness of texture on the tongue, and a comforting, tangy flavor on the palate. While medium is the stated temperature at which their burgers are cooked, I could swear on a stack of Bhagavadgitas that the burger I ate was at my preferred temperature of medium rare, thereby exalting the entire, orgiastic experience. Samin Nosrat would weep. Speaking of weeping, I took a chance on their milkshakes, and chose the strawberry. There is chocolate and vanilla, but the person I would share this food with happens to enjoy strawberry ice cream, and I thought, won't this be nice? Dear Reader, there is nothing nice at all about their strawberry milkshakes - they are SUBLIME. Creamy ice cream enrobed whole chunks of the noble fruit, and we couldn't have been happier if a half gallon of Umpqua strawberry ice cream had materialized before us, heaven-sent. And if I had had any good sense, I would have saved my scrumptious French fries to dip into it. Little matter: the entire meal was the perfect end to topsy-turvy day, and gave new meaning to the phrase, "comfort food." Go to Pearl's. NOW.

Wonderful Experience! We were staying at the hotel across the street and saw this cute burger joint and decided to try it and we were not disappointed. We got the Spicy Sly burger and fries/onion ring combo, and two shakes! One banana and one salted caramel. Everything was delicious and probably one of my go to places to visit in SF. The man who took our order was super nice and the place was just a calm nice enjoyable vibe. Will definitely be back m!

Big tasty burgers and crisps fries! Both our burger choices tastes phenomental and fresh. A vegetarian alternative was available for all Burgers. The Restaurant itself is very simple but clean. Many locals seem to Pick Up Lunch Here.

Small diner but the owner is very friendly and he can customize your burger any way you want. Seems empty but there are a lot of takeaway orders so they are constantly busy and the food is always freshly prepared. Everything is simple but well made. Worth a visit if you’re nearby.

It hasn’t been long since we started our burger journey in San Francisco but we finally made it to Pearl’s. It’s a nice little hole in the wall burger joint that lives up to its name “Pearl’s Deluxe Burgers” 🍔. We ordered the mushroom burger with kobe beef, the bomb with buffalo meat, and a coffee milkshake. This came out to be a little over $60 with tip included. There is a slight discount if you have cash on hand (pretty much the price you see on their board). The bomb was definitely the bomb. The buffalo meat flavor was very noticeable with that gamey taste. Could go without the onions cuz you know… onion breath :(. The mushroom burger was STACKED. We couldn’t tell it was kobe beef. Would recommend just getting this with normal beef patty. The coffee shake was decent. The first 80% of it was great but the bottom 20% had this slightly off taste. This isn’t the best place we’ve been but we certainly still enjoyed it here. Keep in mind there are limited indoor seating. To go would be your best bet but it’s always better to eat it fresh.
