Pearl's Deluxe Phatburgers Diner
Great burgers and fries. We proudly serve natural, grass-fed beef burgers, turkey, veggie, and buffalo burgers. All our meat is of the highest quality; our buffalo burgers are so lean--they are actually lower in fat and cholesterol than chicken or most fish. We also make our own onion rings and cut them by hand. We have quick service, but food is definitely home style, and fresh! We don't start grilling until you order. A lot of places make you choose but we think you should get a little of both. Our most popular item on the menu is the Bula Burger, which won Best Burger at the San Francisco Great American Food and Music Festival. The Bula Burger was inspired by a trip to Fiji, and its meaning is similar to the word "aloha".

Founder David Apfelbaum once said, "Food is not a fact of life but a theme of life." Step inside, and be transported to a bygone era. Indulge in fluffy pancakes, Corned Beef Hash, or Shakshuka. Nosh away and create memories in the "City-by-the-Bay.
