It feels great to be back at Tower Burger after 12 years! My bestie and I ate here for dinner on a foggy Sunday evening. It wasn't too busy at 5:30pm, but it got busier as it approached 6pm. We used to eat here for lunch on special occasions or for dinner before a show at our high school. The ambiance significantly changed for the better as it became modern with updated tables and gray chairs.
Ordering was easy at their counter, and the staff on duty kindly writes it down including specific requests. I ordered a California Burger without cheese and tomatoes, while my friend ordered a hamburger. There's an option to add fries for approximately $4.99 to your burger orders. After placing and paying for our orders, we were able to sit at any table. Our orders were ready within 10 minutes. The burgers were perfectly charbroiled and were delicious and not heavy. It suited well with the avocado slices, lettuce, red onions and the toasted buns. The fries were crispy and not greasy. It matched well with a side of honey mustard sauce (as per my request). The quality has sustained well since my high school era. Tower Burger is the legit OG place for burgers in the Twin...
Read moreToo expensive! I used to like this place. The burgers are pretty tasty, along with other sandwiches. However, the prices have gone WAY up. I know that is a city-wide inflation issue. But can you imagine paying $7.99 for a regular size order of so-so french fries? That's what they now charge at Tower. And it's not like the fries are anything to write home about--they're thin and still not that crispy. Unfortunately, this is the only burger place nearby and they've cornered the market in this strip mall location, so they can charge way too much to unsuspecting high school students and workers in the area. You'd be much better off getting a burger and fries at SuperDuper... the fries are better and they're... $3.75, as they should be! Overall, a meal at Tower will probably run you $20 or more -- honestly, too much for the food they're serving. They seem like nice people, so I hope they get the message and bring some of the...
Read moreGreat burgers, cooked to order by a friendly cook. Nice courteous owner & staff. I love the quality of their meat & bread. The fries are crunchy. I love the chili cheese fries. Tasty milk shakes. Very clean restaurant and men's room. Fresh vegetables on my burger! They'll give you ketchup and mustard packets to go & plastic ware, if you ask. In 1/19 I asked the owner's son if they sold their tee-shirts. That would be free advertising for them. He said no, but I will ask the owner. I like wearing tee-shirts with local stores or brands as long as they include, "San Francisco, CA." on them. I went the other day, as I go regularly. I bought the Phili Cheese Steak. Wow! I loved it! I always love the chili cheese fries, which I buy as a half order, since...
