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're serious when they say half pound patties. Normally, people that start with half pound patties generally burn enough fat out of them to roughly make them 2/3 of their original size. Papa Make is an exception. In fact, when A half pound patty goes in, a half pound patty comes out. With that in mind, I made the mistake of ordering a double, which meant I ended up with a hamburger that 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 my burger 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 I didn't notice until I'd already taken a bite. Yeah, another food review mistake. I turned around from the counter to see the items I was looking for, including ketchup, mustard, and mayo. I took the opportunity to start my experience over, this time with all the fixings. After correcting my mistakes, the hamburger was everything you would want it to be, juicy, tender, and perfectly complimented by fresh garnishes. I will note, I was a little bit disappointed that the ketchup did come in packets instead of being in some kind of squirtable container. The only other part that slightly disappointed me was the fries. I'm always hypocritical about fries, which you know if you've read some of my other reviews. Overall, I still have to give it five stars. It's in a great location, the food is spectacular, and the drink selections great. Check it out!

Ohmygawwwd, where do I start!? I was searching around Google looking for some place delicious and cheap (under $15 a person) and narrowed my choices down to a couple Chinese restaurants, a taqueria, and Papa Mak's. Based on Google user's photos I picked Papa Mak's. Best. Decision. Ever. The staff was polite and friendly, greeted us right as we walked in. The scents from the grill and fryer had us drooling before we even glanced at the menu. We were quite surprised when the guy taking our order said the patties are a half pound of Angus beef because a burger with fries or green salad was only $11-$13 bucks. We decided to both order the Blue Burger which is a patty stuffed with blue cheese and topped with caramelized onions. What a delicious treat! The blue cheese was extremely smooth and full of flavor - not the pungent moldy taste of cheap blue cheese, but melty blue perfection. He ordered for the salad with his burger while I got fries. The sweet vinegarette on his greens was great, and the fries perfectly crispy and seasoned. We also ordered a side of the handmade, made to order onion rings. The batter was thick and full of flavor. I'm not sure what else to say but go eat at Papa Mak's, you'll love it!!

I'm always looking for the next burger spot so when I passed by Papa Mak's I decided to give it a try. I ordered the "Big Papa" burger. I also had fries served with the burger. I had the option of fries or salad. The meat was nice and thick and it came medium rare. The wait time wasn't too long, maybe 10 minutes. Everything seemed cooked well. Pros: The fries were delicious - period. They serve the food in "to go" boxes which is clever because should you need to go, you can just go instead of asking for a to-go box. There's also plenty of outside seating. Cons: I did not see any inside seating. Therefore, coming here to sit and eat is likely going to be a bad experience on a cold or rainy night or both. Restrooms are closed as of now. So there's that. Another more annoying inconvenience is the fact that there aren't "no touch" trash cans. The trash cans available are only accessible outside and they are the huge black city trash bins with the plastic lid you have at home. It's not great. To summarize, the best part of my experience was the fries. They were really good.

Absolutely like the food! This is the third time ordering from this place. I tried the Sweet Potato Tater Tots in my last order as a side($2.00) and quite liked it, and there were generous with the portion size(Both the tater tots and the regular fries). This time, I ordered it as a separate item($4.50) alone with curry fries ($7.50). I was expecting the tater tots and the curry fries would be packed in separate containers since I did not order them as side dishes. When I picked up my order, I was told that the fries are in the boxes with the lamb burger and grilled patty melt, so I thought: okay, these boxes must be packed then. When I got home and opened the boxes, It caught me off guard, and I was a bit bummed that the portion size of the tater tots and curry fries was almost half of the portion size compared to my last two orders. I am not sure if they accidentally put too much in the last two orders. The food quality is still excellent, and I will keep ordering food from this place. I hope the portion size will stay consistent.

Visited this place as it was within a mile walking distance from the Rodeway Inn on Great Highway, and it was the perfect choice! As someone who follows keto/low carb, I hoped they would be able to accommodate me by turning my burger into a lettuce wrap and they were more than happy to do so! The angus beef was very juicy and you have a variety of potential add-ons, such as bacon, avocado, fried egg, etc. Fair warning that the price can go up quickly with these add-ons, but delicious nonetheless! Nice little cozy corner location with friendly staffers as well. Will certainly come visit if I'm ever near Golden Gate Park and/or Ocean Beach again! Edit: Wanted to add for those who are vegan/vegetarian, during the time of my visit there (4/19-4/21 in 2019), they had flyers for an "Impossible Burger" which is a plant-based burger substitute. They do offer a Veggie burger on their menu, but this "Impossible Burger" may be a new offering.

We took a walk down the beach and started the get hungry. This place was awesome! I had the Papa Burger add Bacon and Swiss and we also got the full order of Truffle Fries. They were SOOO GOOD! The fries were nice and crispy, with melted cheese on top. The Papa Burger was seasoned BEAUTIFULLY! I like my burgers a little pink, which is the way it come out. It eats like ground sirloin, so there is no problem with a med-rare burger. If you don't like any pink though, I would make sure to tell them when you're placing your order. The place is also super reasonable, price wise. Two great sized burgers, one with a side salad, and the fries only came to $39. This place is like 5 blocks from the beach, so I was expecting to pay more. I will DEFINITELY be coming back here, and recommending it to anyone I know coming to San Francisco!!

Man, this place was good. Over the years going down in all categories. $6.25 for five peace of onion rings is even for the best onion rings in the world a FU to the customer. That was not a mistake, I even asked about it and the team was very clear that 5 is the exact number of rings you get. To be fair the burger and the fries were okay. Still I don't see a reason to go back here with all the other great food options in the Outer Sunset.

It is just not a place for kids or toddlers. Not much space inside and outside the tables are close to the street.

This was the second time we ordered there. My husband hand the Papa Mac and ssid it was but I had the Patty Melt and the cheese wasn't melted and the next time had New fried chicken burger where the outside was almost burnt while the chicken was a bit pink. Yuk. But the worst part was the owner's intimidating, Irritable snd brash attitude when asked any question. For instance, on the app, I couldn't see where the salad dressings choices were so when I asked him he said that there is Italian dressing and I should have noticed it on the app. He was rude both times. Also he yelled at his cook in front of me. Never going back. Don't need the abuse. Besides we noticed that the people downstairs was full waiting on orders and this on empty.

The burger and fries were good, and I love whatever condiment was on the burger. I ordered the Papa Burger and fries with a side of ranch. I made the order online and was given an estimated time of 10 min for it to be ready. When I came to pick it up, the man working there told me it wouldn't be ready for another 10 min (which turned into 15 min); no apology. When my food was ready, the man told me everything should be in there and walked off. I checked the bag and noticed the ranch was missing, so I had to point that out and have him get it for me. Still no apology. The food was good, but the friendliness and service was why I rated this 3 stars.

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 the truffle fries that were so addictive. My husband devoured his burger before I could even get a picture and the kids loved the chicken and sweet potato tots. We did really appreciate the tables being wiped down and cleaned after other parties had left. It helped 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. This was our first experience here and definitely plan to come back on our next trip to San Fran!

Ordered a burger with pepper jack cheese, a side of fries, and a chocolate shake made with Mitchell's ice cream. The 1/2 lb burger was a little too rare for my taste, and the burger itself had a weird consistency - like it had been manhandled. The bun was limp and just sad, as was the lettuce, onion, and tomato (on the side). On the other hand, the fries were crispy, and the milkshske was excellent - a chocolate milkshake made with premium chocolate ice cream with a few lumps at the bottom that I ate with a spoon. I won't be back. There's no excuse for a burger joint that serves a lame burger - even if it is 1/2 lb.

Good menu with some vegetarian options. Veggie burger was delicious, and they do have the impossible burger. I was really excited about sweet potato tater tots on the menu, but they were a bit sweet. I know it's sweet potatoes, but it tasted like there was sugar added. Overall I really enjoyed my meal. The door was open the entire time and it was a bit drafty and cold for me. Also, the music playing in the background had profanity (song,I don't give a f*#k was playing) which I didn't really appreciate, but otherwise a great place. For more prudish people like me, can get food to go. There is also outdoor seating.

I have been looking for a good burger place since I moved here. This has become my favorite burger spot. The burger sizes are great the fries are so good and they never disappoint. This isn't the place to go for the atmosphere, this is the place to go if you want a really good burger for a fair price. No frills just good food. Edit: The food is still really good but the customer service is lacking. Suggestion: don't order through doordash. If there's any kind of mix up they'll just blame your delivery person and nothing will get resolved. Better to just cut out the middle man and call your order in directly.

Burger was good, small burger place.

No frills but great burger joint. Stopped here on a Saturday night around 6:15pm. I got a veggie burger and sweet potato tots, my husband got the mushroom burger and fries, and little one got chicken tenders, sweet potato tots and milk. Everything was great, especially my veggie burger. I'm pretty picky about veggie burgers but this one was housemade, moist, and had whole black beans and quinoa and I think lentils. The sweet potato tots were amazing. There's a few tables inside and picnic tables outside (no heat lamps). There's no public bathroom, at least as of 10/30/21.

They we're super attentive. The only confusion we had was that my husband is vegetarian. He asked for the mushrooms hamburger, and He thought that that didn't have meat because it wasn't labeled on the description. At the end, he had to remove the meat patty, and I ate it. It was not bad for me, but it was disappointed for him :( The fries were OK, but too much grease.

Had to make my own sauce. Ordered for first time and decided on the classic papa mak (what else would u get, right?) For a burger that advertises its “sauce” I was disappointed to find less than half a teaspoon of it on my burger. The sauce is delicious, why advertise it if you aren’t going to put it on properly? Sadly, I resorted to mixing what I had (mayo and ketchup) to, essentially, transform the burger into a Burger King whopper. The fries were good. If I do order here again, I will be sure to ask for extra sauce on the side.

Papa Maks Burgers in San Francisco is an absolute gem! The burgers here are mouthwateringly delicious, with perfectly grilled patties and a variety of tasty toppings to choose from. The fries are crispy and addictive, and the service is top-notch. The cozy atmosphere adds to the overall experience. I can't recommend Papa Maks enough – it's a must-visit for burger lovers in the city!

Begging to differ about wait time for take out, I just took out three delicious burgers and some awesome curry cheese fries! Ordered at the counter, did an errand, all ready upon return, just right! Great neighborhood spot by the beach! Now, having returned there a number of times for take-out, the service is prompt, the staff very friendly and helpful, the food fresh, hot and delicious, except for the milkshakes, cold, thick and scrumptious. Also, they've added outdoors tables, especially nice on a sunny day!

It's the local neighborhood burger joint. They do have good burgers, my fav being the lamb burger. And I also like the fish and chips. Easy, convenient and good. They also have a few beers on tap.

Sweet Potato Tater Tots, Papa Burger

Easily the best burger I've found in the Bay area worth writing about. Fries are pretty awesome too. On this particular visit the food was great but the blonde guy serving the counter was grumpy and did not seem to be a person who takes the job of "service" very seriously. As a customer I felt more like it was my job to service or accommodate his bad attitude. I'm sure he's not the owner though, so I'll drop my 5 stars to 4.

We went there on our way to our air BnB and were caught by surprise. A little pricy, but it was the best burger and the best onion rings I ever had!!! The portions were big, ingredients fresh and everything is prepped freshly. The vegetarian burger with the plant based patty (which my wife had) was unbelievable tasty as well… and meat-like like no other plant-based alternative we ever had so far…

Papa Mak's has one of the best burgers for an affordable price. Their fries are the best in the city. I don't know how they make em but the fires are amazing. The staff seem overworked at times. But they are always polite and serve the best burgers and fries in the outer sunset district. The only feedback I have for Papa Mak's, please answer your phone. Some of us would rather tip you more than pay Grubhub.

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 side of onion rings were a little oily for him and it came with 3 huge rings. I'd go back :)

4 stars for legit food! 2 stars for service and sketchy help. Place just needs seasoned help to expertly cover the floor and run transactions. And majorly prep for the chef so his TAT improves. More training on 2 of them won't help, replace with experienced help that know how to own the covers even starting cold and the place will improve literally overnight. You know the experience, unless there is a high level of hipster style patience I'm unaware of.

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 tomato and red onion. The 1/2 pound burger meat was juicy and had a slight charbroiled taste to it. The truffle fries were well portioned and had a good crunch. I have no complaints. Good job crew at Papa Mak's.

Without doubt the best burger I have ever had anywhere in the world and I have eaten a lot. Just a classic 1/2lb that was so juicy and cooked to perfection. Classic menu done properly. So glad I stopped on route to the airport. Wow and thank you

Definitely delicious! Even with the higher price I thought the value was very good. There was enough tasty perfect bacon on my burger to layer three regular burgers from any other shack. The bun and veggies were top quality. The fries were a great compliment. There is enough burger and fries to split and feed two. I recommend Papa Mak's in the Sunset district to any one, or any two, people looking or an excellent flam grilled masterpiece.

Wanted to check this place and I finally did. I love impossible burgers and ordered here too. The burger was made well but simply just not tasty. I tried it so many times before and it was a great experience. Not here. Also the young cashier lady was busy on the phone and with a poker face, maybe a bad day. And the last thing which was the hope is fries - but so greasy, over salted, just disgusting. Can’t believe I paid $20 for this..

The food is solid, and almost consistent....almost. One day the burger will be perfect, the next it will be a piece of charcoal. I've been going since day one, and will still go, but it's not more than 3 stars average. Oh and if you call within an hour of closing it's likely no one will pick up. I think that's the problem; the level of idgaf is palpable from some staff, and comes out in the food. PS mak sauce is awesome.

Just came here by chance, had the impossible burger with everything on it and it was very tasty! Service is fast! Im told the regular burgers are really good too! Will come back again!

The food is delicious but the wait time after ordering is extreme. Three visits each yielded an over 20 minute wait for burgers, after waiting through the 10 minute line. Definitely not a place for takeout unless you call ahead. If you do call ahead, be sure to time your pickup perfectly or your buns will be soggy. Friendly staff and awesome menu choices.

Pretty good neighborhood burger. Comes in 1/2 pound patties and I was definitely satisfied. Got a regular cheeseburger. Was cooked well, fries were decent. Wish they had normal tots instead of sweet potato and another non vegetarian chili. But, it would be kind of crazy for a small spot to make 2 different types. (The veggie chili was pretty good, btw)

Why not get a blue cheese burger and onion rings, and then go to the beach afterwards? BTW, if you're in town for Outside Lands I suggest it after a day of music festival shenanigans.

Can't say anything about the burgers, we were there for milkshakes. They were out of all flavors except vanilla so that was quite disappointing. We went ahead and got the vanilla shakes and they were absolutely excellent. Hopefully that was just a one-off supply chain kind of problem.

They never get my order right. Whether I order in person or through delivery. If I asked for grilled onions, and I paid for grilled onions, why do you put raw onions on my hamburger every single time? It’s not a 1 off. It’s EVERY SINGLE time! #%¥!!! Or the patty has been bloody, raw or frozen. You guys need to level up your game.

Burgers are ok. Salads are meh. This place has terrible customer service. Ordered my food at 5:02 and received it at 5:46. I sat at a table right in front of the cashier and no one came by to even check on my order. Eventually, I had to go up and ask. Completely unprofessional, oblivious staff that play with their phones all day.

Decent burger, ok Philly cheesesteak. Chile cheese fries were a little underwhelming and tasteless. We believe After Hours burgers are better.

Love Papa burgers. They are fresh. They are huge and delicious. They make everything to order. You can order your burger with fries ( that are some of the best fries i ever had) or a salad. They serve a wonderful salad dressing. Oil and Vinagar with a hint of citrus. Great relaxed place to eat anytime for the whole family.

First time dinning with them, but it definitely wont be the last. The blue cheese burger and onion rings far exceeded my expectations. Delicious to the last bite. Highly recommend giving them a shot. Decent kids menu + they serve margaritas.

I asked for my burger to be completely cooked (i told the guy ALL brown inside) no onions. I took my first bite & it was still pink in the middle & onions were included. He was nice though...good manners, very polite! (So 5 stars on professionalism...2 stars for my burger not coming out the way i requested). …

onion rings were terrible... I ate the burger until I just couldn't anymore... Ordered it med well because it was my first time ordering from the place and I got it for delivery... but the burger was half raw. The onion rings were literally the most greasy thing I think I've ever eaten, couldn't do it lol. nasty.

A great burger, great crispy chips that come with the burger, thick shakes, nice service. Not much else more you need. I got the patty melt this visit and it was great, with nice patty and stringy cheese, grilled onions, special sauce. All at a very reasonable price. Check in, and you may have a drink waiting.

A nice hidden gem in the sunset! But don't order the onion rings, it cost $6 and I only received a total of 5 onion rings. Making the rings cost $1.20 each. Not worth. But the burgers are huge! They make a huge contrast to other burgers at McDonald's and such. The patty is nice and thick, and so are the buns.

So we have gone back several times way better now and this last time WAS THE BEST! Although they were busy, our orders were perfect (larger order) super fresh, cooked perfectly. So tasty. Super happy. I allow myself a burger every few months and I come here for it and drive in from the pen to do so. So good!

The food here is so good. Great flavors, generous portions, and good vibes. Also, maybe the first place I've ever had a grilled chicken sandwich that's even better than the fried chicken sandwich (and the fried chicken sandwich is top notch). So tasty.

Had some truffle fries to snack on the other day and I highly recommend it. It's so good. They have dining tables set outside so if you're looking for decent burger joint in Taraval check out Papa Mak's Burgers. You could also go to the liquor store next door to get a cold one with your snack.

I love this neighbourhoid spot. The Caesar Salad with organic chicken and Patty Melt are my two favourite dishes here. Personally I prefer Papa Maks in house made veggie burger, to the new Impossible meat trend, but with Mak Sauce, anything is Makafied! Service is very friendly !

First time there order a big Papa burger with the works everything never seen a burger that big before. The food was awesome people were very Friendly they need to bring one in Sacramento California keep up the good work guys. See you soon ❤️✅ God Bless …

We showed up from the beach absolutely starving and even though they were ten minutes to close they still took care of us and our dog!! The French fries are so crispy and flavorful and the burgers are big and juicy with fresh ingredients. Curry fries are a real standout

Photogenic burgers with oversized patties that are too dense and underseasoned. Milkshakes are similarly flavorless, and the marble rye they use for the patty melt is untoasted and too thick for the sandwich. On the plus side, the service is much faster than they think.

The burger is great. Very simple. I wish there was an option for a smaller burger. The smallest option for adults is half a pound. There is a kids menu that has a small burger or chicken tenders. The fries are good. The service people are kind. Really good family spot.

My teenage grandson loves their big crispy fried chicken sandwich.Comes with fries and a drink around 12 bucks. Tried the truffle oil fries..not worth the extra $. Burgers are decent too. There a a few outside tables. A good choice if you're going to Ocean Beach.+

2 stars for great fries. Horrible chocolate shake: pink shade of brown, basically flavorless. Grilled cheese sandwich had one thin sliced of cheddar, completely overwhelmed by bread. Really disappointing for $14+. Would have been disappointing even if free …

Many many errors in the order, like they did not even try. Did not grill onions, left out sauces, etc. Stuff that I paid $10 extra for! Not cool, and no way to get my money back.

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. Thank you!!

Great burger, amazing onion rings. The only thing that let me down was the milkshake, the ratio of milk to ice cream is waaaaay off and results in a really thin milk shake. Tried them twice in case the first one was an anomaly. Unfortunately it was not.

Food was mid, Service was good.

Best burger in town! If you’re looking for a bite to eat before your visit to the beach, try them out. Only took 15 minutes for a fresh burger with a side of fries. They have a variety of toppings that do cost extra but are worth every penny.

Went there with a couple of friends for a mid-afternoon meal, and couldn’t be more pleased. The service was lo-key excellent. The food was outstanding. We had: A Louisiana hot link, with fries, a Fish & Chips with fries, a Burger with

What a cool place! Super friendly staff and delicious burgers. We got the mushroom one, the lamb one and a double beef. No GF buns but a lovely lettuce wrap!

Quiet location in the middle of Sunset- on the beach side of the Sunset boulevard. Order one of their own 'exotic' ;-) burgers or create your own. Look across the intersection and ponder whether you have enough change for a massage.

Delicious any type of meat or veggie burger that you want. All types of different fries. The building is cold and loud, so I do take out. The homemade lemonade is a treat and my kids love it. You can't go wrong with takeout here

They have big burgers in menu with a lot of fries. but I thin that it is too pricy. Great atmosphere and presentation of food was on point. I cannot recommend to go there on date but to try burgers with friends would be good.

From out of town. This places has amazing Chili, chicken sandwiches, hamburgers and fries are the best I’ve ever had. We kept going back because it was so freaking delicious. The staff is friendly and helpful. Thank y’all!!

One of the best burgers I've ever tasted - and it was pretty difficult to finish. The burger was huge. And get this; they also have an 'Impossible' burger on the menu that they dare patrons to try. A must go to place!

Love, love, love this place. Everything on the menu is amazing. But my favorite are the wings. No body does them better than Ms. Cynthia. Thank you Ms. Cynthia, for the amazing food. And my husband loves the burgers.

Ordered burgers yesterday. I came home, and I had to fry patties more cause it was raw. When I squeezed , blood was coming out! Fries are oversalted… Not coming back there and not recommending this place to anyone.

All 5 drinks we had tasted like bleach mixed with the soda. Horrible taste. If you go there get the glass bottle sodas in the fridge. And the “blue burger” it tasted very bad. Soggy meat and the muster was so gross

Had the grilled patty melt - delicious! I've had the mushroom burger and that was good as well. Definitely will be back, great local neighborhood burger place

This burger tasted like a perfectly made backyard BBQ burger, but with fancier ingredients. They were quick to make my food. They also have a large selection of bottled drinks. Would return if I'm in SF again!

The burgers here is pretty amazing and the service is top notch. I recommend ordering here if you want some amazing food to eat.

Drove down here from the valley and were looking for a good burger spot. Definitely not disappointed , thick,juicy burgers and friendly staff. You definitely wanna add bacon / cheese to your burger …

Best burger in the Sunset. Not very consistent but when its good, its great! I miss the variety they used to provide when building a unique burger. Mac sauce is excellent but pimento aioli was the best

Absolutely fantastic burgers and chilli with vegetarian options

Excellent food, exceptional service, everything is quality. Never had a bad experience and food comes out quickly. Will definitely be coming here again! Highly recommend the truffle fries

Burger here have been consistently good. I tried the fried chicken combo and it was surprisingly fresh, juicy and flavorful! They are also very generous with their fries.

If you can stand the heat, I highly recommended the 4 Alarm burger. The fries are always on point as well. This is definitely my new favorite neighborhood burger joint.

I looked this place up on Google maps and was oppressed how fast we recieved our order. Meat is high quality.

Everything was tasty! Got the basic burger. Patty not as juicy as a regular party, but probably bc it has less fat, but healthier. Splurged with the truffle fries.

My husband LOVES burgers and has tried many different burgers, and he says this is the best burger he's ever had. I thought the place was really tasty as well!

This place is super clean the staff are so friendly and the food is amazing. You can even build your own Burger. Their sweet potato tots are out of this world.

Great burger spot in the outer sunset. Friendly staff and quick service. 1/2 pounder with bacon and jalapeños, side of fries and a Steam beer. Can't go wrong!
