When it comes to juicy burgers that satisfy every craving, Gott's Roadside never disappoints. Whether you're fueling up after a beach day, grabbing a family dinner, or simply chasing one of Marin's best burgers, these fan favorites deserve a spot on your must-try list.
The California Burger is a true West Coast classic, piled high with a juicy beef patty, fried egg, Swiss and sharp American cheese, crispy bacon, creamy avocado, lettuce, tomatoes, and Gott's signature secret sauce on a toasted egg bun.
The Double Cheeseburger proves that sometimes simple is unbeatable. Two juicy beef patties, melted American cheese, crisp lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, and house-made secret sauce come together for burger perfection.
The Gruyère & Caramelized Onion Burger takes things up a notch with nutty melted Gruyère, sweet caramelized onions, and rich garlic mayo layered over a perfectly grilled beef patty on a butter-toasted egg bun.
No matter which burger you choose, don't forget to pair it with Gott's famous garlic fries, crispy onion rings, or a hand-spun shake.
With layers of havarti cheese, tzatziki and just enough tomato jam, Chef Michael Siegel’s burger sings of the Mediterranean.
Grilled to perfection and then placed on a toasted brioche bun where it is topped with cucumber and pickled red onions, this burger is an eleven before it hits your palate. And then it becomes something even more magical. It’s served with house-cut fries, the better for swooping up the inevitable (and delicious) sauce drips. Oh, and yes, it pairs well with beer and cocktails!
The local burger favorite, with an outpost in Town Center, serves both a 100% grass-fed beef burger and a pasture-raised bison burger. Choose a bun or lettuce wrap, then customize your burger with toppings like aged white Cheddar, BBQ sauce, caramelized onions, and slaw—or build your own dream combination. We're partial to pairing ours with the Stumptown Coffee Shake, topped with a brûléed marshmallow, though the housemade Meyer Lemon Soda and seasonal Strawberry Solstice Wine Spritz are equally tempting.
Be sure to save room for dessert. The restaurant's soft-serve window features Straus Family Creamery organic ice cream served in Guittard chocolate-dipped cones imported from Italy, plus plenty of toppings to satisfy any sweet tooth.
With so many delicious burgers, shakes, and sweet treats to try, one visit simply isn't enough. As the saying goes, "When in Roam..."
Terra Linda’s beloved gastropub landed at the top of Best of the County 2025 lists–for Best Breweries & Tap Rooms and Best Burger. Could it be because they offer a welter of exceptional protein-between-the-bun options? Yes!
Though perhaps best-known for their fried chicken sandwich, the house Monk’s Burger is done up in style with Gruyere cheese, stout onion jam plus the requisite lettuce and tomatoes. Don’t forget the napkins–the house made aioli and soft onions are all but guaranteed to ooze out the sides and onto your lap.
A longtime local favorite, Phyllis' Giant Burgers was inducted into the Pacific Sun Best of Marin Hall of Fame in 1997—a testament to decades of serving satisfying burgers with friendly, old-school hospitality.
Routinely voted best burger in Marin County, Phyllis’ Burger – a half-pound of griddled Niman Ranch beef on a Bordenaves bun – can be customized into one of thousands of combinations. We’re partial to the classic (lettuce, tomato, sauteed onions) with ketchup but cravings for teriyaki, barbecue and pesto sauce can be honored. Switch out the beef, the bun, and the fries for countless more options. Have it your way, indeed.
Due West Tavern's burger is a standout, featuring a juicy blend of Angus chuck and sirloin grilled over an open flame for a subtle smoky finish. It's stacked on a buttery brioche bun with melted cheddar, crisp lettuce, tomato, house-made dill pickles, and a smoky chipotle remoulade that ties every bite together. Fries come standard, but do yourself a favor and upgrade with a side of Brussels sprouts tossed with crispy bacon and bright lemon.
Round out the experience with a local craft beer from one of the tavern's 12 rotating taps, a thoughtfully crafted seasonal cocktail, or a California-forward wine. However you pair it, this West Marin favorite delivers a burger experience that's well worth the drive.
Pass through the faux telephone booth and behold a vista from yesteryear. Yes, all the retro vibes are intact, the better to accurately reflect the name, my dear. No matter what time you arrive, it’s Happy Hour.
Try the chicken wings, escargot, or pork and ginger potstickers (all $14) before settling in with Chef Munther Massarweh’s burger. Known in these parts as “the original,” the Speakeasy Burger is two patties layered with American cheese, shredded lettuce, dill pickles, onions, tomatoes. But it’s the secret sauce that makes the original (or an Impossible variation) slathered on a toasted brioche bun that makes this burger speak.
Forget everything you thought you knew about burgers—Picco has raised the bar.
The star of the show is an indulgent eight-ounce masterpiece, double-ground in-house from a luxurious blend of New York steak, brisket, bone marrow, and chuck roll. Chef Michael Reyes takes it over the top with crispy guanciale, a garlic toum-Dijon spread, fennel ketchup, melted Parmesan, and a hint of red miso for an irresistible punch of savory umami. Choose your favorite vehicle: Panorama rosemary focaccia, potato-pepper sesame brioche, or black sesame brioche.
As if that wasn't enough, Picco has introduced Burger & Barolo Wednesdays, pairing this next-level burger with a curated selection of Barolo by the glass. Inspired by Italy's famed Piemonte region—home to both world-class Barolo and incredible cuisine—it's a pairing that feels equal parts comforting and sophisticated.
Eating a meal under the redwoods at Perry’s on Magnolia in Larkspur is one of those “only in Marin” experiences that stays with you forever.
We suggest the burger, a Perry’s classic so popular, it comes in slider size, too. Whether mini- or full-size, Perry’s Burger is a thing to behold, its towering stature part sturdy bun, part layers of lettuce, onion, cheese, avocado and – as needs must – bacon. Add a side of sweet potato fries to complete your Marin-forward experience.
** And don't forget, they also have a fab location in Novato!
Burger lovers make a beeline for Napa Valley Burger Co. in Sausalito—and one bite of the Baja Burger tells you exactly why.
This crave-worthy favorite layers smoky applewood bacon, melty pepper jack cheese, and house-made guacamole atop a juicy, perfectly grilled beef patty, all finished with zesty chipotle aioli on a buttery, pillowy brioche bun. It's bold, indulgent, and guaranteed to satisfy.
The burger lineup doesn't stop there. Other crowd-pleasers include the Whiskey Bacon Burger, Turkey Swiss Avocado Burger, and the Stinson Beach BBQ Burger. And for those looking beyond beef, there's a crispy Chicken Breast Sandwich and the flavorful Silverado Veggie Burger.
Whatever you order, round out your meal with crispy fries, an ice-cold beer, or a handcrafted cocktail, and you've got all the ingredients for a next-level burger experience.
