Description & Atmosphere
Fleur de Lys chef/co-owner Hubert Keller's latest Burger Bar now has a home in San Francisco — on the sixth floor of Macy's in Union Square. Other Burger Bar locations include Las Vegas (Mandalay Bay) and St. Louis.

There aren't too many places in San Francisco where you can get the ultimate burger AND a fabulous view — the 200-seat Burger Bar offers a variety of yummy burgers and shakes... and a killer view thru' large picture windows overlooking Union Square.

It's also a fun venue for watching sports — three flat-screen TVs are located above the bar and little mini TV screens are featured in individual booths inside the main dining area (photo below). Burgers, fries, spiked milkshakes, beer and sports... all under one roof!

Food
Burger Bar is known for it's build-your-own-burger concept. Diners can choose from American Kobe Beef, Black Angus Beef, Country Natural Beef, Lamb, Turkey, Chicken, Salmon, and Vege burgers — plus a huge variety of toppings. Add your favorite sauce... and a side of fries (Skinny Fries, Steak Fries, Sweet Potato Fries, Buttermilk Zucchini Fries...) and you have the burger of your dreams.

A variety of burgers and specialty items can also be ordered off the menu, including the Hubert Keller Buffalo Burger (topped with caramelized onions, blue cheese and baby spinach; Classic Bacon Cheeseburger; Surf & Turf with Black Angus and Grilled Half Lobster; Grilled Vegetables; Sliders, Fresh Salads... and more!

The Ultimate Burger
For those of you who really want to splurge, celebrate a special occasion... or can get away with putting it on your expense account, treat yourself to the ultimate "$60 Rossini Burger" — featuring Kobe Beef, sauteed foie gras, shaved truffles and Madeira sauce on an onion bun.

And the $60 question is... "Is it worth the price?" — we'd like to know :)
