I saw this place while on a walk in the neighborhood and made mental note to stop by for lunch the next day, which was a Sunday. I did just that. I ordered a double cheeseburger with mustard, pickle and onion, because that’s the way I like it. I decided to let them add lettuce and tomato. That was a nice change. The burger here was really good! It’s very tall if you get a double, so get ready. I cut mine in half to make it more manageable. My dining companion ordered some fries and let me have a few of them. They were delicious with seasoned salt included. This is a great burger stand with no frills that does one thing really well. Well, I guess two things with the fries. If you have the room, try a shake too. I did not and wish I had.

TLDR: quick juicy delicious burger I ordered the bacon cheeseburger for $12 and it did not disappoint. The portion was a healthy size, the beef was properly salted, even the pickles were just right and not too heavy in the brine. I would highly recommend this burger !

Columbus discovered a unique way of crafting burgers. The Dressed Jack is delicious. Add an extra patty to enjoy it even more. Their Columbus Fries are well seasoned and will turn heads if you decide to order take-out. The Wedding Ring is another special item on the menu. One hidden onion ring will surprise anyone.

We had a really tasty chocolate shake in the afternoon and we were surprised by the cheap burger prices. So we came back in the evening and we were really excited. They tasted amazing. The staff is super friendly We really can recommend this location.

The burgers were absolutely delicious! With so much stuff stuffed in the hamburger, I was surprised how it all stayed together without falling apart like my hamburgers do. Very tasty! Seems like a whole in the wall but those are the best places.

Absolutely fire. I got 2 patties since my friend doesn't eat too much meat. So yummy and I was full all night. Fries are great too with some seasoning salt. The fact they have Mexican coke just made it that much better. And 2 people with fries and sodas was like just around 30 out the door. Slammin deal for the city

Awesome little burger joint. I ordered the dressed jack burger with fries. The burger was made fresh to order dressed with lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, and secret sauce. It was delicious. Fries were fresh and tasty.

Favorite burger joint in SF. The guys working there are super chill and welcoming, and it's got a cozy atmosphere. The burgers themselves, namely the piggy jack for me, are spectacular, especially for the low price they sell them at. They're open late and well within stumbling distance from any of the other haunts nearby.

Was in town for Dreamforce and had been eating small artisanal foods all week. Finally a co-worker and I gave in and googled this place. We were at the Hilton Financial District right next door. Amazing Burger and good milkshake and the price can’t be beat! Go by! This is the restaurant you eat when you want great food with no frills! Just what the doctor ordered!

Grabbed a dressed Jack Burger and fries to take back to the hotel . Food was fab - burger was a decent size , hot and fries were crinkle cut . Loads of ketchup in the bag and serviettes too . Just what we needed . Great price too .

Looking for a family lunch spot and found this one. Prices were pretty good around $10 for a burger. The guy taking our order was pretty hard to hear. The food took around 15 minutes to get after order, but the food was one of the best burgers I’ve had.

Small unassuming restaurant but burgers and fries are very very good. It's not fast food. It will take time to cook your order but it's worth the wait. Price is relatively cheap considering the big portion and high quality of the food. Friendly staff. Place is clean and quiet because everyone is enjoying their meal. It can get busy once all the nearby restaurants close. Oh, I also like the milkshakes.

Well well well ... this is a surprise. 🤔🤔 I review restaurants all over the world and this tiny, small, humble spot in down town SFco with plastic chairs and limited space its pretty GOOD .!! Yes, the burguer was surprisingly good and my wife also agreed on it . Sure you get a better one on Capital Burguer in Coral Gables (miami) but cost 3 times more ...! They are plain but tasty and good. The place it's very humble but the food was good and the young guy on charge was very polite.

Thank gawd this is not a tourist trap in a very touristy part of town. The prices were great, the two young guys working didn't have attitude and they let everyone use the restroom before knowing they were customers. We've had burgers around the world from greasy bags to fancy hotel lobbies. Columbus Burger was a home run! Fries not limp or greasy or overseasoned. The burgers were the same! Is this "OMG the best in the world"? No. But it's not a ripoff and we didn't receive any tourist apathy.

After a night of drinking and smoking cigars a full Burger was in order. Columbus Burger hit the spot with warm service and Hospitality as soon as we entered the room. I thoroughly enjoyed that the menu is limited but good. All of the ground beef is made fresh. I ordered the dress Burger and I was surprised to see he brought out fresh hamburger meat to make a Smashburger. I had onion rings on my burger and it had a homemade taste without being over pretentious. I love the crinkle cut fries that were seasoned just right this place is simple and to the point burger fries and milkshakes. The Ambiance is really casual. You can eat there or take the food to go. I definitely would come back here next time I'm in the city.

Came here to try their burgers, got the Wedding Ring burger. The burger was great, the onion ring in the burger is crispy, but they don’t offer onion rings as side. The service was good, the place looks clean and neat but smells to much chemicals, I even tasted in my mouth.

Yeah, a $10 burger in SF is a hella good deal. Still, you get what you pay for — a burger that hits the mark after a drunken night out but doesn’t stand on its own against sober lips. This little joint has a straightforward menu and operates until 11pm on weekdays and 2am on weekends (a true rarity in SF!). That being said, the pictures on the menu don’t match at all with what you receive after ordering, which is certainly a red flag for any burger enthusiast. The burger had a good ratio of toppings-to-sauce and tasted great. The patty was a bit small, but can’t complain too much when the check was under $30 for two people. The decor is cute with US license plates adorning the walls, though most of the seating is cheap, backless metal stools (they are extremely uncomfortable to sit in for more than 5 minutes). Would I come back again? After a night of drinking in the area, for sure. Definitely worth checking out, especially if you’re tightening the belt on your wallet — but if those aren’t relevant to you, I’d recommending trying another burger spot (Uncle Boy’s comes to mind if you’re interested!)

Honestly, one of the worst burgers I’ve ever had. I’m not sure if it’s normally served that way or if something was forgotten, but the bun wasn’t grilled or warmed at all — it was cold and stale. Overall, the burger itself felt cold, and I can’t recommend it.
