Amazing food. Outdoor seating only. But there are patio heaters to keep snuggly. The pozole may be one of the best I've ever had. Spicy but not too much. Must stop if your in the neighborhood.

I’ve been here 3x in the past 5 years and the quality of product has decreased every single time I’ve been here.The brisket is dry and lacks flavor. We had to smother the meat in sauce to balance out our disappointment in bbq prep.The burger used to be my favorite in the city, but was lacking the last time I was there. It’s messy (which is fine) but for some reason the patty lacked character and depth. Either the seasoning or the char was off that day.Fries were good and bbq sauce is solid as always.Lastly those benches are annoying as hell. If you sit on one end of an empty bench, you will cause a seesaw effect and may fall off the end.3/5

Great burgers and fries and beer on draft. Only have outdoor seating, but it’s covered and they bring out heaters if it’s cold.

I never miss an opportunity to go to this restaurant. everytime I feel like having a proper meal, this place comes immediately to my mind. extremely good and all kinds of food and a rich menu.well mannered team, and nice atmosphere. And very important, the bill is fair. I recommend this restaurant with no doubt.

This little joint is a gem of comfort food. The dishes are gorgeous, so tasty! And the portions are generous (for a none-local). Brisket, chicken, pork...it is meat-lover’s heaven. I indulge in that type of food every one and then, tried many places and this one is ace.The staff is really friendly and even if the indoor space is small, the outdoor is heated and absolutely doable even in December.Go check it out!

Best brisket in SF, comparable to Saltlick's outside of Austin with similar style-low spice dry rub that relies heavily on the smoke. Absolutely supurb 😎

Three meat combo; chicken, brisket, pulled pork with sides pozole, fries, and the fried mac n cheese thing. First bite of the brisket was great - juicy, tender, warm. The other three pieces were tough, dry, room temp. The pulled pork and smoked chicken tasted good, but felt like they’d been sitting out for a few hours. Chicken was also dry. I felt like I was eating leftovers. Fries were fresh and crispy, fried in animal fat, but nothing to write home about. The fried Mac n cheese was good, but not something I’d pay $5 for one piece. The soda and my water cost $4 each. I should’ve asked before purchasing. Paid $45 for two people, sharing one plate and a drink each. Overall, I’m disappointed in both the food and prices and continue to look for a decent BBQ place in the city. However, service was great, and loved that they had heaters on a cold rainy day.

If you get here early enough you'll be rewarded with the hypnotizing smell of fresh BBQ and possibly the most difficult decision of the day: what to get.If it's your first time go for the pulled pork and brisket with a few sides, but also make sure you get that burger. The burger is incredible and deceptively delicious... deceptively so because you keep asking yourself exactly what those flavors are even though you know. Service is very laid-back and friendly, and the outdoor seating on Divisadero is totally chill. So might as well get a beer or two to accompany that BBQ.

They are good but not as raving good as everybody seems to be. Today they brought two out of three of the burgers we ordered. When they finally brought the third burger it was slightly scorched black on the bun. Their Caesar looks great. The cheese on top is always perfect but the dressing, to me, is too watery. To fix it I put on their white BBQ sauce. My breakfast sandwich was perfect. Ground bacon and sausage patty with a fried egg.

The burger, pulled pork, and brisket were all incredible. Super flavorful, juicy, and exactly what I was looking for in my barbecue. The spicy fries were also a stand out. The sauces were good, but the meat was the star here. The outdoor seating is perfect - there are heaters to keep you warm in the evenings and the service was very fast.

Finally found a place to satisfy my BBQ cravings! The brisket is as good or dare I say better than some BBQ brisket I've had in Texas. Also, order the spicy fries. I ordered the plain but tried my husband's and they were phenomenal!

What makes a burger, Mr. Lebowski? Is it being prepared the right way using fantastic ingredients... whatever the cost... Isn't that what makes a burger?Yeah, that and a pair of delicious bun halves.You're joking. But perhaps you're right.

This is probably one of the best of not the best BBQ places in San Francisco. The smell of the food all around area will make you wonder where it's coming from if you're not aware of it. The staff is friendly, nice, and super helpful. You can't go wrong eating here if you're a fan of BBQ.

OMG!!!! DELICIOUS!!!... I'm here on work travel and wanted a simple juicy burger that wasn't fast food. I hit the jackpot. Fresh ingredients made to order and delicious. Customer service was fast and on point. I would highly recommend this spot. I will be back soon!!! 4505 Burgers & BBQ

Pricey, but yummy.Quite possibly the tastiest burger on the block, with perfectly medium-rare center (though you can request further done-ness if preferred), juicy meat, texture of bun and fillin's, and a variety of delicious sauces to supplement. Will definitely be back to try their BBQ and their specials (posted on the front door every day)!UPDATE: I returned for BBQ and specials, as intended! I was not disappointed. :) Today they offered "Brisket Fries", and I jumped at the chance to guarantee my tummy with a delicious and filling meal. The fries were nice and crispy, despite being slathered in a delicious salsa verde (sauce), and the brisket chunks throughout were wonderfully melt-in-the-mouth and savory. Plenty of fries to share with a buddy, as well! Highly recommend this yummy choice.

Legendary burgers, nice patio, relaxed setting.The best burger I have had since the beginning of time. I have been here several times and always stick to their 'best damn grass fed cheeseburger with bacon' (cooked pink). They don't add pickle to their burgers which I respect.

Nice folks. Amazing BBQ. They got a big patio with picnic tables. It smells like heaven. I have grilled cheese and a vegetarian sandwich and big salads and posole coleslaw potato salad and ice cream root beer floats cookies even chicken strips. Fast service. Friendly staff. You can buy it by the pound or you can buy plates or you can buy sandwiches which is what most people do. It’s good for parties and offices.

I love this 4505 Burgers & BBQ. The beer is fantastic and their guest taps are always high quality. Their food is amazing. We got Brussels sprouts, chili, and sweet potato fries. The portions are very generous and the prices are very reasonable. The sweet potato fries were perfectly crisp and the coli for dipping them in was so good! The Brussels were fried and crisp with not too much grease. The chili had pork belly and it as so tasty. Definitely not too spicy and had just enough veggies. You won't be disappointed!

Was near Alamo Square, painted ladies. Stumble upon this great place. The brisket is perfect and the hot link is good. Service is friendly and it's the kind you order at the counter and wait for the food to come kind of restaurant which we like the most. Free self refill water makes it perfect.

This place is listed as one of the best burgers in California and the reasons are obvious. The burger itself comes from grass fed cows and has a nice beef flavor that blends very well with the tasty bun but I have to recommend getting the double with bacon as the regular burger with no bacon is slightly overpowered by the bread and throws off the taste. Also, the brisket fries are totally amazing and shouldn't be missed.

I went here with a friend and my three year old. The service was pretty good and the food was delicious. I had a burger and fries. The burger was just the right size. I have been to so many places where they make these massive burgers you just can't finish. This one was perfect. It had a great balance of toppings and was cooked beautifully, pink all the way through as requested. The staff was kind and on top of dirty dishes. The bench seating was nice for my little one. She was able to move around some yet still reach the table.

They have one of the best veggie burgers in the city. Fried grits patty with an over easy egg on top. Bomb!

Sides are way better than the meats. Don’t order the meats if its almost closing time. The Frankaroni (Fried mac n cheese) and spicy fries are really good. Baked beans are pretty decent too. Maybe it’s because we were there at about 8+pm and the meat has been prepared since opening time. Brisket was dry and the pork spare ribs were even worse as they were tough and just lukewarm. The bacon beef and cheddar links were pretty good though. Which leads me to think if you’re gonna be there late, order something they have to make fresh, like a burger. Cos given how good the sides were, it’s hard to believe the meat were so sub standard.

The deep fried Mac and cheese is memorable! The brioche is served warmed and just melt in your mouth. The smoked meat has some crunch in it - maybe fried onions... overall good dinner with different flavors.

Friendly staff. Chicken was amazing. Brisket was amazing. I wasn't a big fan of the pulled pork but was still good. Bread roll was good. Cole slaw was different but great to me. Fries were the norm. Overall I would recommend If in the area and I will be back again when I'm in the area. Almost forgot.... sweet Tea was AMAZING😁

Tell the girl you have working in the front on Sundays to not have gossip conversations with the cashier when it's busy. I walked in and there were drivers waiting for her to give them the food orders for cavier, Uber eats etc. I thought she was a customer ordering until the cashier pointed out to her that there were people waiting on her to grab the delivery bags for them.

The fries are great. The ribs are good. The burger is okay. The success are really good -the white sauce is especially delicious with fries. I'll give this place another try and it's nice to have in the neighborhood. But it's not my favorite burger or BBQ place in Oakland. That said, the outdoor eating space is very pleasant!

This may be the last wood fired BBQ in the city. Before 4505 came along, there were other BBQ spots in this location, which is pretty cool. They've kept the BBQ going. They also care about where the meat comes from. The food is really tasty, the portions seem just right and the atmosphere is chill. It's not the best BBQ I've ever had, but it hits the spot.
