I was driving around in San Francisco looking for a place to park for The Dead and Company show, and found this great little Cafe. The owner is a friendly and engaging Man. We chatted about the local sports teams. There was a few topics covered in my 45 min stay. The Swiss/Mushroom burger and fries was delicious to the point where it was maybe the best burger in my life. There’s a menu of variety as well as the great burgers. While I was masticating the burger, I heard him take orders over the phone as well as walk-ins placing takeout. So if your ever in San Francisco, You should stop in for a burger or something else from the menu. I am sure that all is as good as my burger. Ganim’s give it a try.

I’ve been here several times so far because I like it. It’s a friendly neighborhood market with a kitchen to serve a well-sized menu of delights. The place is friendly and yet very down-to-earth style of simplicity and you can enjoy sports on the TV and/or play the lottery until you drop. Just help yourself is pretty much the mantra here, but the food is totally awesome!

THE BURGER SPOT ON THIS SIDE OF SF! The food is incredible and they sell scratches! Nothing like winning your lunch cost while you eat! The best part about this place is the owner though, he’s a super cool and personable guy. Half the reason I go there! If you’re in the area, do not miss out on this delicious burger joint!

Got Dave’s Burger and it was awesome, very satisfying and huge. I also got the Chicken skewer plate and that was amazing as well, well seasoned, a lot of food for reasonable prices these days. I made two meals out of the 3 skewer chicken plate. Coming back again when I have the chance. Oh and great service too!

Good food and ample portions for a quick, tasty and affordable food. Few places in SF still have a good burger, fish fry and sides in low prices. Ganims place is not the most fancy, but his awesome, friendly and welcoming service is certainly top notch!!

Ganim’s is a hidden gem in Potrero. Everything we’ve gotten has been great. The burgers are your classic American diner style but some very tasty combos and really good. My favorite is the lamb gyro – not many places you can find a good lamb gyro in the city, but Ganim’s does it really well.
