Ben DruckerMarch 28, 2015They have a bunch of gluten free items, including pancakes and biscuits. It's not listed on the menu and there's a small surcharge, but the portions are big. Cash only!
jonathan gettingerJune 17, 2012Gluten free offerings. Start your day with the cornmeal buttermilk pancakes with bacon and cheddar cheese. Don't miss a side of their house made rosemary lamb sausage.
Big Guy's Breakfast. Get all sausage (it's homemade), skip the bacon. Substitute blueberry pancakes (or any other special pancakes). Put poached eggs on the sausage. YUM. Great price and so much food.
Daniela VélezMay 9, 2016Really good breakfast menu, specially the eggs (omelet style) and the french toasts
Evgeniy DankovtsevJanuary 25, 2015Everything is tasty here. Homey feeling. Coffee is great. This is one of the best spots in the neighborhood for a breakfast
Christina C.H.September 20, 2012The interior of Kate's Kitchen is cozy & feel like in a country home.. Surrounded the area is neighbourhood, different from City Breakfast joint.
- Alan HDecember 8, 2012Amazing and one-of-a-kind corned beef hash! It has carrots, celery, onion, and eggs (along with the usual potatoes). Will definitely be back!
Jennifer DarwinMarch 8, 2019The meatloaf sandwich is the perfect comfort food!! They have great home style cooking and friendly staff!
Ali AndersonDecember 9, 2013Order the veggie scramble (butternut squash = awesome!); French toast orgy is appropriately named (and worthy of a photo); Texas fries also awesome.
Avadhut PhatarpekarApril 6, 2015Go on a friday. Every friday, Sons of the Beach, a local jazz band, plays live music. Goes down easy with the lovely food.
Jenny JMay 28, 2017My go-to breakfast place (mostly because I live real close). Get there before 10 to not end up in line.
Mindys hash browns and the veg scramble for days. Biscuits have gone downhill but still the best in the hood
Lisa RaphaelMay 27, 2019Really inventive specials, great neighborhood spot, go during the week to avoid the lines
David BreitenbuecherJanuary 10, 2016Try the (homemade) blueberry jam, it's unbelievably good...probably the best I've ever had
Fiona AdamsMarch 16, 2013gluten-free pancakes in any of their pancake flavors! bacon/cheddar, strawberry/banana/granola... etc! amazing!
Christian BakerApril 5, 2016Never had a bad meal here. Only put your name on the list once your full party has arrived!!
Great spot for brunch. Not a lot of cocktail options but the food is excellent.
Coralie SabinJuly 23, 2015Cute place, Lauren's special was just a burger, nothing special. Will go again for the pancakes and French toasts.
saniulAugust 24, 2014Had Big Guy's Breakfast: eggs, bacon and fries were great. The pancakes and the sausage - not so great.
Sit at the bar (4 seats available without putting your name in) for a view of the kitchen.
Kendal CockrelAugust 10, 2018Biscuits and gravy weren’t that good, sadly. But the staff is nice and the inside is very cozy.
- Christina C.H.September 20, 2012The coffee is full bodied and yummy... Really tasty after you add milk & sugar.
The cornmeal buttermilk pancakes are the best in San Francisco. Try them with strawberries and lemon curd.
Kian LaviMay 16, 2017Didn't know this existed for far too long, get the corned beef hash and some hush puppies
Bacon cheddar cornmeal buttermilk pancakes. You are welcome.
Jessica TaylorJanuary 17, 2016A weird vibe for dinner. Huge portions, but no one in the place. Much better for breakfast.
:: The cornmeal pancakes are stunning. But they will skimp you on syrup, so ask for extra.
