Great (like REALLY great) burger -- maybe even one of the best in SF!!If you're a fan of In-n-Out burger, then you'll love the smash burger. It's got a thousand island sauce reminiscent of the fast food chain, but elevated with caramelized onions, fresh pickles, double smashed patties, and a soft brioche bun. I'm a BIG fan of bread and butter pickles and was pleasantly surprised by their addition in the burger -- but if you don't like the flavor of them, make sure to order yours without. The fries were good, though nothing particularly special. The tables all had mustard, ketchup, and hot sauce, so if you're a fellow saucy guy like myself you can add to your heart's content! The service was really great. We ordered two burgers but only one came out -- after about 10 minutes of waiting, we told the bartender and he realized he never put the other one in (and hadn't charged us for it on our order). He was very apologetic and quickly brought us the second one, on the house! It was an honest mistake, and he made sure to make it right. They clearly value their customers here, and we appreciate that!! The vibe here is no-frills but is really clean with a bit of a 50's diner feel. There were lots of diners on their way to the Giants game (as we were walking over to Frankie's, we heard a mom in a Giants jersey telling her family how good Frankie's was and how close they were to the restaurant. They arrived just after us!) You can expect the food to come out quickly and the beer to be cold. Let's go Giants!!!

Wow. I'm very aware we ended up here in a special scenario (right at opening while their Bartender worked on new drink options) this wouldn't be the normal setting for most patrons I am sure. But was an awesome visit. I was almost bummed we had a stadium tour we had to attend and couldnt stay longer. Eugene was a fantastic bartender. Personable and skilled!

How does this place only have 3.5 stars?!?! $10 for a dog and a brew! And the BEST fries I've had in a long time.

Super fun post game drinks bar. Indoor and outdoor seating. Beautiful day so we sat outside. Try the berry cider! Not too sweet not too tart.

As promised, final check in complete. I am pleased to report that all is well at Frankie's Java House. Stop in for a drink, definitely get some of their chowder and stay for the people. All the wrongs from my first review have been corrected, excellent oversight by Pat. He truly cares about his business and in turn deserves your business.

I wasn't in an all fired hurry to try Frankie Heffernan's makeover of this longtime waterfront favorite because frankly I was devoted to the original greasy spoon run by the Papadopoulos family. But hey, it's been a couple of years since the change in ownership, and I was thirsty as I was strolling around the ballpark on a Thursday afternoon.Imagine my delight to see a Pimm's Cup on the menu under the Boozy Drinks section. For $12, the bartender filled a plastic cup with Pimm's No. 1 (a gin-based digestif if you didn't know) and ginger beer with lemon, strawberries, and mint (photo: https://bit.ly/3VayeC4). While the empty bar was inviting, I took it to one of the remaining patio tables where I stared longingly at the boat marina.COCKTAIL - 4 stars...an unexpected Pimm's Cup well mixedAMBIANCE - 4 stars...still a small place but spruced upSERVICE - 4 stars...solid bartender TOTAL - 4 stars...welcome Frankie!RELATED - Exploring South Beach?

This place... chefs kiss! The food was fresh AF, drinks were perfect and a great selection of beers on tap. Eugene is a gem, the silver fox, didn't catch his name, was also amazing. The sweet woman cooking, she knows what's up! Simple ingredients are superior when you take the time to perfect your craft. Fish tacos and fish n chips YUMMY!!!

Great spot next to Oracle Park that doesn't hit your wallet like Oracle... Lines can be long on game day so order two rounds if you're gonna hangout. Food was really good too. There was also a delicious hotdog cart operating in the area so we got a couple rounds of drinks and some food.
