4505 Burgers & BBQ

The Haight & Hayes Valley


Sure, you could get the Cobb salad, but go the whole hog for the smoked-rib plate – 4505 butchers its own humanely raised pork and grass-fed beef, so ribs and burgers are always fresh and flavorful. The historic wood-fired pit is a Fillmore landmark. Grab a sunny spot on the recycled-wood deck for neighborhood people-watching over chili-lime cracklings or spicy chicharrones (fried pork rinds).
