I love hamburgers. Big, small, greasy, cheesy, chili-filled. I would even argue that nothing else represents American food in the summer than the hamburger (ironic that it’s got a German name though, haha). Can’t say I’m not always in the mood for them, but when I want one, the feeling is fierce. Since my friend and I wanted to check out the sweet threads and kicks at HUF, I decided that a stop at Pearl’s in Nob Hill was necessary. Quite a nice little store, very clean for a neighborhood burger joint – maybe too clean – and with some very tasty offerings. I love the menus with the removable plastic letters. I don’t know why, but it gives places a homey feel.
Pearl’s has some damn good burgers. I ordered the Prize Pearl – the blue cheese, bacon, and grilled onion special burger. For some reason, I cannot resist the ooey-gooey moldiness of blue cheese on my hamburgers. It’s simply my favorite cheese. Bacon, always a must for many warm-blooded males. The burger was good. Real good. Juicy and pink inside. The bacon was crispy. Cheese dripping everywhere. The conversation stopped quick when the food hit the table. I also got the sweet potato fries and onion rings on the side. Decent fries and rings, but a bit soggy. Nothing to write home about.
The prices are decent. I spent about $10 for my meal. Lots of other choices, such as chicken, turkey, natural beef, etc. for the picky ones. And if you saw that sign, yes they do have sliders. It’s open late on Friday and Saturday, which is a plus if you’re hungry after hitting the scene. Trying the buffalo burger next time I hit HUF, which will probably be soon, knowing my penchant for sneakers of all shapes and colors. Check Pearl’s out. It’s good.
