10Best Says

Favored by a diverse cross section of the bay area population, Barney's serves dozens of burgers, including beef, chicken, turkey, and vegetarian versions. The choice of toppings is amazing, and that's the worst thing about this place – what to order. Among the fruits and vegetables are pineapple, artichoke hearts, spinach, mushrooms, sprouts, and traditional lettuce and tomato. Which sauce sounds best – sour cream, teriyaki, barbecue, pesto? And what type of cheese – jack, American, feta? Luckily, choosing a side isn't nearly as difficult: big baskets of onion rings or curly fries. Sometimes nothing but a burger will do for lunch.
