“ I loved me some Whiz Burger back when I lived in the Mission. I usually got a corn dog and a chocolate shake, and it was consistently great. especially for the price. The ambiance was exactly what I wanted out of an old school burger drive-in in the heart of the Mission. Kinda kitschy, kinda grimy. Just how I like my fast food. Thanks for not trying to be something you're not. Whiz Burger. You're one of a few institutions that's made it through multiple rounds of gentrification. From the Irish to the Hispanic, through multiple rounds of artists, musicians, and gangbangers, from multiple generations of families to the hipsters and tech bros and google buses that price them out, Whiz Burger must have something for everyone to still be around! ”
“ The food is really good, specially the burgers. The fries are good as well but I think that opinion would depend on each person's preference. Anyway, the service was fast and the staff were friendly and kind. I would definitely come back again. ”
“ $24.28 for two burger combos and a root beer float. So delicious. Sat on the outside picnic tables, and watch the world go by while we ate. Whiz Burgers is a trip back through time that I definitely want to keep making again and again. ”
“ I got the large fries and they're always super good last time. I did get there burger I hadn't eaten it. I gave it to my friend, but I did get some wings with another group of friends and those ones were good so I'd recommend those a lot and the service is awesome. The place was really nice. I definitely be returning. ”
“ They used to make a fried tofu burger I still dream about. I don't eat tofu. Haven't been here in a while and always want to stop again and see if they have it. The vibe is old school sf. I love it. They have parking. ”
“ This place is the definition of no-frills dining. Solid burgers, solid fries, and reasonably priced for SF. Service was very quick and the food was hot and fresh! There is only outdoor seating but it was nice in the shade. ”
“ Listen it's not what's on the outside that counts, it's what's inside. If you don't know what you're looking for you will drive right past based on the outside exterior. You'd be missing out. This place has great food for a reasonable price and the owners are really nice and accommodating. Took my daughter in law and grand kids here on Wednesday and we all enjoyed our food and I was so dang hungry I didn't even get one pic :( ”
“ On a tour of Bay Area burger joints, and Whiz Burger was calling our name next. Parking lot has a good amount of spaces, just wish it was a little better lit (but that's just the small, female wary of dark corners in me) Service was fast, I was surprised by the amount of options, and wow that banana milkshake and their waffle cut fries are somethin' else! I got a 1/4 jr burger with cheese, and my man got the Whiz. His was definitely better than mine, but that's what you get when you add avocado to anything ;P I think for future hungover me, I'd like to grab a Beep's burger & onion rings, then swing by Whiz for a banana shake & waffle fries. ”
