History
In 1972 Hamburger Mary's was introduced to the SoMa district of San Francisco. The original Hamburger Mary's was a funky, friendly dive put together on a shoe-string budget. With humble beginnings as an eclectic late-night beer and burger joint, Hamburger Mary's quickly established itself as a staple in the LGBT community. The mismatched flatware & dishes, kooky artwork and antiques added to the kitsch and charm of the place. It was an open-air bar and grille for open-minded people (a motto we still use today), where everyone was welcome. The staff was always friendly and personable, and the food was always fresh and made-to-order. Before long, a second location was opened in Hawaii, then other locations started popping up. Hamburger Mary's is not a chain, but a family of locally-owned independent restaurants. Each franchise location has its own character, because each owner and each city is unique & now, Mary has brought her charm and fabulous food to Ontario, California!
