1) BULLS HEAD restaurant, right at West Portal's M Oceanview / L Taraval gate. Despite phallic name and occasional bun-leakage, normally a bad thing, this burger cannot be beat. Fries much better than they look. Appropriately medium-dark lit, and next to the equally toned-down Philosophers' Club bar, on the other side of which lives the way over-rated sub joint for high school kids who don't know about Roxie's sandwiches on San Jose.

2) BARNEY'S BURGERS, of which there's several, including Berserkley. I go to the one in Noe Valley, at Castro by 24th, since they're a little short on atmosphere to begin with. Again, problems with drippage... but would you expect any less? And again, a lot of meat and plenty of tasty trimmins to make your day complete. Your metrosexual friends can charge up on one of their major salads. Don't bother geting more than a "half" basket of fries to split for two.

3) FLIPPERS on Oak off Hayes Valley. Another can't-miss choice, and has a patio that beats Barney's front deck. Fries are the joint. Just raised their prices, so they drop a notch or so.

4) BURGERMEISTER at Church & Market or by the N Judah tunnel in Cole Valley. A little cheesy with the flourescent look, and there's just counter people instead of servers, strictly speaking. But they give good attitude, sport a juke, and won't let you walk away hungry.

5) ANY SUGGESTIONS? martinrowicky@yahoo.com.
