This laid-back BBQ spot melds a butcher's expertise with smoky meats, tasty sides, and a sunny patio, perfect for casual hangouts in SF.
"“Burger” is right there in the name so it only makes sense that this Divisadero Street stalwart, a meaty destination known for barbecue and ample outdoor seating, knows how to do them right. The burger here means a hefty quarter-pounder topped with iceberg lettuce, onions, gruyere cheese, and secret sauce. The bun, meanwhile, gets a boost from sesame seeds and scallions." - Dianne de Guzman, Eater Staff
"Best consumed with a beer on the heated patio, this barbecue spot is filled to the brim with smoked meats of all types, including ribs, chicken, and pulled pork. The burger is a favorite for many, featuring grass-fed beef with, lettuce, onion, Gruyere cheese, and secret sauce on a griddled bun. Excellent sides abound including frankaroni (crispy fried macaroni and cheese with hot dogs), beef tallow french fries, and posole." - Paolo Bicchieri, Dianne de Guzman
"If you’re in NoPa and in need of a place with ample seating and lots of smoked meat, hit up the covered patio at 4505 Burgers & BBQ on Divisadero. Along with plenty of long picnic tables, they also have some of our favorite barbecue in the city. Get a platter of brisket and smokey ribs, or the excellent cheeseburger, and maybe a root beer float for dessert." - julia chen 1
"Ryan Farr’s restaurant continues to dishe out some of the best smoked meat in the Bay, especially if you’re a fan of lush, thick-sliced brisket. The side dishes are especially good, including a wicked fried mac and cheese and hot dog creation. Plus, the Divisidero Street staple has a fantastic outdoor patio." - Eater Staff
"There’s nothing better than gobbling down smoked meats and juicy burgers outside, so we embrace 4505 Burgers & BBQ. The NoPa spot is turning out solid brisket and pork spare ribs, and serving everything on a semi-covered patio where you can people-watch all the action on Divisadero Street. Whatever you end up ordering, you'll want to sit at a communal table in the company of cider, soda, or a pitcher of beer. " - lani conway, julia chen 1, ricky rodriguez
