Jeff WhiteMay 14, 2016Decent food and no wait at 10 am on a Saturday makes for a solid brunch go-to. I recommend the fried chicken and biscuit with a soft poached egg vs the menu's sunny-side up.
Sarah TrottFebruary 21, 2014Do yourself a favor and have a burger and not the huevos rancheros. Basil iced tea Arnold Palmers are delicious.
The burger is possibly my favorite in the city. Also: fried chicken and the steak is frequently amazing (changes seasonally).
Sherry LiMay 30, 2015Great for late night food. Burger, fried chicken, and Mac and cheese are solid!
FarshidAugust 20, 2013Unconventional looking Mac and cheese . tastes really good and not as salty and greasy as the typical ones . pretty good!!++
HipstamaticMarch 7, 2013Small diner-style restaurant with a limited but delicious menu. It's all about the Mac and Cheese but everything is really good.
Josef ChrpaJune 3, 2016GREAT burger and fries! They do it as it should be done! Medium rare! Pink, bloody inside! Yummy
Cody HardSeptember 13, 2014Donuts are always a must. Delicious everytime. Fantastic staff. Coffee is alright, the corned beef hash is pretty good.
Nicholas AbentrothMay 24, 2013Room temp PBR puzzling....fried chicken, solid but wish I had tried the burger or Mac and Cheese....Chocolate mouse cake was fucking awesome.
Barton SmithAugust 18, 2014Great, divey spot. Chorizo sausage in the huevos rancheros was yum and everything tasted fresh.
Jay RJanuary 12, 2013Go at lunch time and order the oh-so-heavenly Mac N Cheese - it's the closest thing to a religious experience you'll have involving food!
Ryan LandryNovember 16, 2014The new pork chop dish on the menu is a straight up home cooked meal. Get it to feel your mama's love.
Morgan GiulianelliAugust 25, 2010Karen is by far the coolest down to earth server in the city. This place is a fantastic representation of what san Francisco chefs can create in a hole in the wall location...pure genius
Natalie DowneOctober 8, 2013Incredible food! The mac & cheese is the best I've tasted, the steak is perfect, it's all good!
Ed PodojilAugust 30, 2014Super chill atmosphere, great music. Can't go wrong with the burger plus fried egg
Kris Vera-PhillipsMay 1, 2013Try the Poutine With Pork Belly - #kvpinmybelly : #PorkBelly , gravy and cheese over fries. Yummy dinner in #SF !!
Dave GlaserAugust 20, 2014The fried chicken is dope. Large portion. The poutine is also very good, but the pork belly was slightly overcooked.
Ben CoffeeMarch 31, 2015Kinda weird decor but if you can get over that the fried chicken and burgers are great. I thought it was a little on the expensive side but that might just be me
ArielFebruary 9, 2014Overrated. The Mac & Cheese with no flavor. The Kobe burger was great. The fries amount over the top and flavorless, simple herbs & salt would make a memorable burger & fries. Great service though :-)
Lost their liquer license, so no moar bloody Marys :( They do serve beer and wine and Micheladas
Vic ZaudNovember 21, 2014Signature dish is their fried chicken with greens and biscuit. Super great.
Nick LMay 10, 2013Try the Steak - Wow. Soft boiled egg and steak, who would've thunk. So good and cooked perfect.
Jean-Philippe BoilyJune 21, 2014The poutIne, although not an "authentic poutine" is actually pretty good! Try it!
Cory O'BrienSeptember 15, 2012Get the Poutine - Fries topped with mushroom gravy, homemade cheese curds and crackling pork belly.
- Earl WilliamsSeptember 29, 2014The mac & cheese with onion rings is a legit combo. The fried chicken is pretty bland. I'm really disappointed in the chicken because it looks so good.
Francisco ValenciaFebruary 16, 2013Try the burger with blue cheese, also the Benedicts eggs are amazing. 5/5.
JolieSeptember 11, 2013Stick to the heavier American comfort food on the menu. They're generous with the liquor in their cocktails.
CarolineDecember 27, 2010A bit higher in price than I would have liked but I have to admit, that kobe burger was one of the best I've had in a long time.
Fried chicken Mac and cheese poutine comfort food and its all about the pork
Caroline JackMay 24, 2015Meh...I wasn't as impressed as I thought I'd be but the uber friendly service and cozy atmosphere are a big enough pull to get me back to try again. I'll order the burger next time
Elizabeth AgnewSeptember 7, 2014Mac 'n cheese was served like a piece of cake topped with a stack of onion rings!
Chuck RoslofNovember 8, 2015I found the mac and cheese underwhelming—it felt like half the dish consisted of non-mac-and-cheese elements.
