Mike NadelmanMarch 26, 2012Amazing my Chino friend never been here so my treat. He ordered Buffalo Stew and asked if it was from Golden Gate Park!!
LaurenSeptember 25, 2012even if you are a veg. swiss cheese on a roll w hot mustard and side of pickled bean salad is awesome!
James TAugust 20, 2014Cafeteria-style meat and veg (although the latter is questionable). Cheap and tasty.
The brisket of beef is outstanding and pretty reasonable. You don't leave this place hungry
The sourdough roll is very hard. You might to get a steak knife to slice it.
Chris LionMarch 24, 2013Great sandwiches. Fun, quirky atmosphere. Don't come to judge, come to enjoy.
Amazing food for a good price and a fast line. U gotta love that.
Wei TsangApril 1, 2012The corned beef is excellent. This place beats Katz's in nyc for user friendliness alone. yum.
MikeSeptember 8, 2011Great place for lunch. Food is great and prices are reasonable. I had the turkey platter, enjoyed it very much.
BMarch 31, 2017Came here while on vacation because they were featured on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. Big portions that didn't disappoint.
Christina GraceMarch 18, 2011This place really filled me up, really great food, great pricing, and taste wonderful. Wish we had a place like this back home.
Martin SextonJune 4, 2012Best pastrami ever. What an awesome old-timey vibe. A San Francisco institution.
get the corned beef sandwich, grab some homemade pickles and order a PBR at the bar, now you are in San Francisco.
Zac ChesterSeptember 23, 2012Get the table by the front window for some of the best people-watching in the city.
Nicki LeeMay 5, 2016Argh cash only! Nothing like hungrily walking 20 min past 2 ATMs and then seeing their sign. They do have a machine, but I was not going to pay the fee to then spend mo money! Will go back for dinner- Blake SamicApril 1, 2012Great home-style BBQ and beer selection - and pretty cheap. Try the brisket.
Paul MaddisonJuly 4, 2012Awesome canteen style eating. Great beers, great chilli and great sandwiches.
Dawn EvansDecember 6, 2011Great grub, great prices, awesome service!! Not to mention a Metallica hot spot for fans.
Carlos MApril 30, 2012Chimay on tap. Bbq Briscuit is a must. Cole slaw is good, potatoe salad was a little bland
DJLYRiQMarch 4, 2012Friday menu is the best! Sit downstairs near the bar, upstairs is kind of cramp and sketch
Vincent MenuJuly 2, 2012Just drove by the place last year, next trip to SFO we'll try it for sure!!!
Jake SmithJuly 10, 2012Try SOMETHING. In this meat lover's paradise, everything tastes like perfection.
Three bean salad like mom... still makes. And don't forget to try the homemade pickles.
Grace S.November 21, 2015BBQ beef is > turkey sloppy joe. Avoid the Sloppy joe if you don't like sugary meats.
Been going here since 1992. Die hard fan for everything. Keep coming back.

"It's all good. The brisket is sweet-n-thick and the pork is mustard-n-vinegar, in case that helps you decide. (The fried chicken is boneless, delicious, and frequently sold out.)"
Katie Baker - 7.5
"This BBQ is just as good as some of the best I’ve tried in Kansas City, Memphis, or Texas. Slow service but worth the wait."

"Come right at 5 and you won’t have to wait. The spicy pork belly and marinated bone in shortribs are amazeballs."

"Loved!! The raised maple was the fluffiest donut I’ve ever had. The apple fritter didn’t disappoint, either. If you’re in the area, this is a must try!!!"
