Effing Great Burgers

Holy shiz...if you haven't been out there, you need to get out there. We saw Joe's Cable Car on a segment of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives on the Food Network and have been curious about the fresh ground chuck burgers for awhile. After returning home from Molly's bridal shower on Satyurday afternoon, I was a little peckish and so we drove out to Excelsior/Glen Park area...Joe's is on Mission Street south of 280. If you are going South on 280 from SF you take the Alemany/Mission St Exit and then once you're on Mission, it is about a few blocks up on your right.

It's an old school diner, not something like Taylor's Refresher...but the burgers are good. Since they are coarse ground chuck (from their onsite butchery) it was chewy in a good "tooty" way as if you were just eating a steak sandwich. The flavor was more "beefy" and the onion rings were fantastic - the kind I dream about....not the wimpy thin gourmet kind.
I can't wait to go back.
