Good burger in the Inner Richmond?

[Sokeefe]

I'm looking for a good burger in the Inner Richmond. Since I know "good" means different things to different people, I'll give you my personal take: natural beef (i.e. Niman Ranch), not too greasy or huge, basic toppings (lettuce, cheese, tomato, options for bacon, avocado, etc.) but nothing fancy needed. A decent bun, preferably one that's been thrown on the grill as well. Believe it or not, Clement St. Bar & Grill does an okay burger, but I'm looking for other options. I've searched the boards and can't find much in the area except a couple of votes for the burger at Namu. I'm basically looking for a Burgermeister or Burger Joint but don't know if there's one in the 'hood. Any ideas?

Q & The Richmond definitely get my vote - both have very good, simple burgers. The Richmond's at $9.95 is a real bargain too, attractively plated, and served with house-made condiments. Atmosphere-wise, Q is MUCH closer to a Burgermeister/Burger Joint, as The Richmond is mid-range and has white tablecloths.

Bill's Place isn't in the Inner Richmond, and I wouldn't recommend it unless the requirement is for a burger at exactly Clement & 24th. Although I appreciate their old-school "charm" and great shakes, the burgers I found to be average.

Belly Burger at Geary and 21st... okay, I know that's pretty much Outer Richmond, but it does the job. They have the option for Natural Angus beef, and their condiment/veggie bar is always well-stocked and fresh. Some have compared it to Sliders, but I can't really say. Also, their fries are awesome fresh.

Overall better than their neighbors at Geary and 17th, Buffalo Burger... which is what I was partaking in before Belly Burger came on the scene.

Happy Chef on Geary and......2nd? It's across the street from The Toyota dealership. It is a funny place. Some Asian dishes, some American dishes. They are super nice and my burger was yummy.

The Richmond has a good cheeseburger. See www.therichmondsf.com.

I second The Richmond suggestion. The burger is delicious, and served with homemade condiments; the meat is house ground; and the bun is from Schubert's bakery. All-in-all, very yummy.

Thirding this. The burger at the Richmond is really good. It's not a "burger joint" by any means, but they make a great burger.

Does Q on Clement Street serve a burger? Is it any good?

Q does serve burgers but can't comment. I think it's worth a try since it's the kind of place that fits the model the closest.

[manraysky]

They do, and they are quite good.

[Doodleboomer]

it's good for sure!

Not NR meat or Burgermeister but Bill's Place on Clement/25th Ave is a very good old school burger, fresh beef, cooked to order, fresh cut fries, good shakes.
