This restaurant is exactly as it appears - a spot to grab a quick, affordable burger and beer. Enjoy your meal while soaking in the ocean air and views of the Bay Bridge. Don't forget to savor the burger served on a delicious sourdough bun!

Bacon wrapped hot dogs, a great invention we should all enjoy. Some family members bragged on this place so I went to see what's up. The place isn't that big but the food makes up for it. I had the Red's Java House and fries. The bacon wrapped dog was great. I don't know what bread they use but it was good by itself. Overall, great meal. Will go back.

You must try the burgers at this restaurant - they are truly unique and delicious. The buns are thin and sourdough-like, and the mustard is a standout. The burgers are absolutely delicious and definitely worth a visit.

The most authentic restaurant in sfopened since 1955, the restaurant is still famous among the local and even more with tourist. I took a double hot dog with sourdoughries and beer; my quality, it was so delicious! a bit pricy (I think I paid about 25 dollars) but we ate outside behind the restaurant. when you look at the bay bridge during eating, is something you love! I love it, my culture and my love to live with every jerome of the French teacher
