Andrew Cerda: This hidden spot has a hidden happy hour worth all your pennies and dimes! Check it out 5:00-6:00PM only.
Grace S.: Love this hidden gem that's tucked away in a mini strip mall. Spicy walu, Barbie, Alaskan and green salad with ginger dressing are great. They let you pick your sake cup too from an assortment.
Christopher Gross: The best selection of cover tunes to eat raw fish to on the planet.
Noah Weiss: Fantastic cortado, open air vibes, tasty light lunch, hidden gem on 7th floor
Raphaela Melo: Amazing coffee place at the Facebook building. Great for a mid-afternoon pick me up. Get yourself a cup of coffee and go for a stroll at the Salesforce park! Great treat ☕️ 🌳
Paull Young: Find this on the 7th floor of 181 fremont - public access through a lift inside the building lobby

Burger Joint · North Beach · 65 tips and reviews
Daniel Pearson: This place is a hidden gem for burger lovers. Simple, cheap and delicious. Get the Anthony Bourdain special (he famously visited this spot for a drunken burger after a nice bar crawl in Chinatown).
Amber: Home diner feel, best burgers after midnight in SF, historic icon, a mountain of fries is one serving... You can't go wrong
Munch On Me: The paddy is grilled just the perfect medium, with the two cheese slices hitting you upfront, a load of beef, and riding the rest of the way down with the vegetable textures and the trail of mustard. Read more.

Café · Dogpatch · 175 tips and reviews
Adrian Barker: The pizzas are great here. Wash them down with a selection from their Italian wine list. A hidden gem in the Dogpatch neighborhood, this place seems to always be packed, even on weeknights.
Rem Koning: Hidden gem in the dogpatch.
AFAR Media: At Piccino, you'll find an open concept kitchen set in a bright, homey, & airy space. The food is simple, fresh, & beautifully presented. The wine list is small but interesting—try the Hungarian rosé. Read more.
nanasaurus rex: home made chips x salsa, fast service, never crowded, quality ingredients, total hidden gem. Convinced this is the best burrito place in the mission.
Brad K: Juevos Rancheros. Super filling, not too greasy and only $6.
Dylan Jones: Super Burrito 👌
Aaron K: Hidden gem in the dogpatch; amazing lasagne, charming owners and friendly service; couldn't ask for more!
Micah Shotel: The verdura lasagna is amazing (all the lasagnas are wonderful but verdura is my favorite). For a change from lasagna try the ravioli alla romana... And get some bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
David Bishop: Quite an amazing menu for lunch, their specialty, with a dinner menu 'to go' from 3:30-6:30.
