So, you might think it's suss that this is a food joint at the back of a neighborhood bar, and seating is just available in the bar itself. So, it you want a more restaurant-like feel, this isn't the place. This is the place for a really really really good burger. Honestly, this side of the City is bereft of great burger places, but this one knocks it out of the park. 1/2 lb burger cooked to perfection, brioche bun, and in my case, beer-battered onion rings and barbecue sauce and some other things. Holy crap it was awesome. The tater tots were hot. I'll be back, for sure

I love the wings and burgers from this restaurant but today I had delivery and it arrived cold Now I can restore in the air fryer but maybe it was Friday busy night but I know the owner reads these so I'm leaving so he knows and cares I will continue to order but today was a miss it took an hour to get my cold wings and classic burger Thanks

I decided to get their spicy version of a fried chicken sandwich called The Firefighter. The counter to order the food is towards the back of the bar. The sriracha sauce plus the jalapeno really made this sandwich pretty spicy. While the chicken was big and juicy, it still was a little too much breading.

I was so excited to find a place in SF that serves a bacon, jalapeno, guacamole burger. But it's still not the perfect spot. Located inside the Recovery Room, there's a few large tables if you want to bring a group. You order at the very back, but the menu on the tables have more items than the large menu next to where you'd order. I got the Holey Moley burger, The Firefighter chicken sandwich, small fries, and a side of garlic aioli. Burger patty was a huge juicy puck. Chicken was super tender. And the fries were nicely crisp. Only problem was everything was so bland! It's crazy to say that my favorite items of the night were the pickled jalapenos, ketchup, and music. I also wished that the buns were toasted. And was also super excited to try the aioli since someone mentioned it being super garlicky, but it was just bland mayo. It has potential, but it was a let down tonight.

Found this spot by searching for "best burgers near me" and after reading reviews, decided to check it out. My husband knew the bar as the former Pissed Off Pete's and Alex's Other Place and it hasn't changed much. Typical dive bar with TV's and a three high boy tables.You go to the back to order at The Hidden Spot off a wall menu. Opened two weeks ago, this is the fourth spot the chef/owner has opened. They use super fresh ingredients and serve large portions, with a tendency toward the spicy.Husband ordered the Gem hot sandwich on sourdough with chopped ribeye, grilled mushroom and onion, melted Muenster and Provolone cheese and hidden sauce (aioli) ($15). Wrapped in butcher paper, he said the sandwich was better than the Cheesesteak Shop. I had the Waygu half pound beef burger ($17) served on a Brioche bun - ordered the "Blues" burger with Provolone Cheese, Chunky Blue Cheese, grilled onion, lettuce and tomato with hidden sauce on the side. I could only eat half, it was super juicy and delish. I ordered it medium rare but it was more like medium, but still good.For the sides, we ordered small seasoned fries ($7) and a small hottie totties (tater tots) with dried chili blend, siracha and green onions on top ($8). The tots were delicious.The bar where you eat wasn't my style with loud rap music and a barfly clientele. (Too bad they couldn't separate the food from the bar, lol). Overall, the food was so tasty that we'd come back.

Was really craving a burger and saw this place is highly recommended. I ordered a holy moley burger with the patty medium rare to be delivered. Got it still nice and warm, and the burger patty was cooked perfectly. A bit messy to eat but what burger that's worth the calories isn't? So delicious and filling, I'd pay the price for it again!

Eeehhh... SSF is better... Maybe they had an off night... This was my first time ordering from this location and it was very disappointing... I'd even go with 2.5 stars... Got my usual the Firefighter. It was over cooked and dry... way more breading then chicken and much smaller portion then the SSF one. Spice was a little off (might be a bit better here-spicier) but the sauce I asked for (paid extra) was not the same at all... it was watery and had no flavor... Overall extremely disappointed in this location, will not order from here again. Was not worth the $ for what I was given...

Jesus Christ, everyone else's super positive review clearly shows they've never had a wagyu burger before lol. I got this food delivered. This was the toughest meatiest "wagyu" party I've had. You 100% would not be able to tell the difference between this patty and any other of same thickness, gonna guess this one is 80/20. Most true wagyu burgers I've had were on the greasy side and easily fall apart under pressure. The meat was pretty bland. I also asked for Swiss cheese and they still gave me American. The buns they use is a LOT. Every bite was a struggle mainly due to how thick the buns were. The fries are really solid. I liked them a lot. Truly a saving grace, would consider this place again for the fries alone. I'm sure the bar scene is great. Just expect a very standard gourmet burger.

Located inside of Hidden Spot bar. Ordered the Firefighter, spiciest level they had. Not overly spicy at all (for a spice connoisseur). Good bun, good slaw, tomtato just right too. Chicken was very crispy crunch outside and juicy breast meat. Took awhile to get to the table, mind you it's a bar kitchen. But overly solid chicken sandwich.
