The burgers are really, really good. But I guess for the amount of money you spend, you'd probably be best advised to go to a nicer restaurant. ... more on Yahoo! Travel

Then don't go here! This is among the worst values I've experienced in San Francisco . First, this burger costs $16.50. That's what I paid for a puny 6 ounce burger with an over-inflated bun, half order of fries and no soda. No kidding. ... more on Yahoo! Travel

Joe grinds his own daily is the motto at this hamburger legend. They sell fresh ground hamburgers in 4, 6 and 8 oz. varieties. Whether you are hankering for a chili burger, and avocado burger, or something with onions, the straightforward ... more on Yahoo! Travel

Despite the free parking, this is a bit of a rip-off. Too expensive, and they have a very large "plate fee" if you try to do the split-thing. ... more on Yahoo! Travel

We'd seen this on Triple D and as we have done in the past we thought we'd try it. We were quite disappointed in the quality and cost of the burgers and fries. The atmosphere was good and were met and ... more on TripAdvisor

In all fairness we didn't physically go to the restaurant and ordered through their delivery service. However it's hard to destroy a simple order of 2 cheese burgers (8oz), a side of fries and a milk ... more on TripAdvisor

The hamburgers were everything promised. Delicious. But when I ask myself if 22 oz of delicious hamburgers, three non-alcoholic drinks, lousy French fries, ... more on TripAdvisor

We too fell into the ddd trap...thought it would be completely awesome.....2 burgers w/cheese...one with grilled onions one with bacon (extra charges)...1 lrg fry..1 lrg onion ring...1 grilled cheese ... more on TripAdvisor

Well I had to find this place after seeing it on Diners,Drive Inns and Dives. If I am headed to a town where triple D has been, I try and go to a restaurant that has been on the show. So after a very ... more on TripAdvisor

I should have read some of the reviews before I went there. It was definitely overpriced and food was ok. I didn't like the fact that they charge $6 to share a burger. The only reason we went there was because one of my kids saw it ... more on insiderpages.com

As wonderful as the idea of Joe's Cable Car might be, it's not that great with the prices and the portions they give you. The burger's were ok, but I've definitely had better ... more on insiderpages.com

This is by far the best burger place in all california. Where can you go to eat a burger that is grinded up daily? And oh my god it is soo sooooo delicious. It is an experience in itself coming here. It can be a long wait if you go ... more on insiderpages.com

In reference to the other reviews, yes the burgers are a bit pricey at around $10-$15 per burger, but when you think that you are charged $8-$10 at chili's or Friday's, then it is well worth it! The meat is ground fresh daily, and ... more on insiderpages.com

This is a great little diner!! I love that you can watch the butcher chop all the meat. Burger was amazing. Milkshake was a true milkshake. I saw this ... more on insiderpages.com
