great burgers and decadent milkshake bar at burger bar, san francisco

I made the trek to Burger Bar, (Macy's Union Square) this week. And guess what, so did everyone else—at least it seemed like everyone I spoke to had either just been there, was going or was there while I was there. John Kenneally from Southern was at the bar and Carmen from Neiman Marcus joined me for lunch. All in all a very social scene.

So how was it? Good. A lot of variety choice of meats, buns, cheese, toppings, sauces and even sides and unexpected combinations like the peppercorn burger with a peppercorn cream sauce from Fleur de Ly, surf and turf burger with Black Angus and grilled lobster and a bunless burger sandwiched between portobello mushrooms. Zucchini fries are crisp and delicious and a nice substitute for fries.

But watch out, there is a milkshake bar and even the simple chocolate shake is a decadent swirl of chocolate ice cream, chocolate syrup and whipped cream. Served with a very thick straw, thank goodness.
