Staff PicksDecember 16, 2014This Cole Valley restaurant has some exceptional burger buns. These house-baked onion poppy seed buns compliment the meat perfectly. Try the lamb burger with mint-lime aioli, you'll have no regrets. Read more- Truth KnowledgeJune 2, 2013Add grilled onions and avocado to your Kezar Burger- so delicious! They also have the most prefect golden brown fries!
tasty dishes + kid-friendly. dinner with the kids doesn't feel so chuck e. cheese. the wait staff is lovely and they are ready with a strong cocktail to soothe the pain of any tantrum.
Wings are respectable, although not mind blowing. The atmosphere is great, this is a solid neighborhood bar.
12 beers on tap, wide variety of food, super friendly staff, dim lighting with unique & appealing decor, tastey wines, patrons openly conversate
Allen FosterApril 14, 2013The food and service are quite good here. I might not bother with a signature cocktail next time -- it was pleasant, but not $10-worth. (I'm a cheapskate though.)
Always solid; great neighborhood spot for an easy evening. Friendly staff, something for everyone on the menu.
Megan AllisonJuly 25, 2018While I was here last time, the bartender fielded several calls from Postmates. I don't know about you, but I've never ordered bar food delivered to my house.
The turkey burger is my usual order but everything on the menu is solid. Had the Cajun Étouffée last night and it was awesome.
Amos ElmaliahJune 13, 2013Comfortable casual and fun. Generally Good choice for dinner or drink or both.
Surprisingly kid friendly in the early evening. Delicious drinks, great staff, and better than expected pub grub.
Marielle WegenerMarch 27, 2014Casual atmosphere with delicious food. I lays get the mussels in the Pernod sauce.
- Friendly staff. Better than average food, definitely fair prices. Nice wines. 1 TV. Cool atmosphere
David TorresNovember 28, 2009my recommendations: mac and cheese was excellent, with classic bechamel sauce and slightly smokey. fries were very good too, they are especially potatoey.
Mark DJuly 2, 2011The chicken enchiladas are some of the best out there. Servers here are very busy but have always been friendly.
Matt HurnMarch 30, 2010Best wings in the city - also a great place to watch hard to find sporting events, such as soccer, UFC and every college game imaginable.- Erin MerchantOctober 26, 2009if you want a non-traditional dinner get the mussels in tomato sauce and the caesar salad. it'll fill you right up and it's the best combination. nom nom nom!
It's good but the service is really slow. We got a table an hour ago and we still don't have our food. We're hunnngrrry.
Matthew WheatcroftOctober 8, 2012Sheer incompetence. Be aware of questions you ask. If you ask someone to change the TV channel, be prepared to watch their head explode before your eyes. Too much information to process for this staff
Kelly O'B WilliardDecember 18, 2013Good food but a Coke filled with 80% ice costs $3.50 with no refills! The bill came and we were charged $7.00 for a soda. The waitress failed to mention this as she refilled the soda.
I would advise sticking to the main menu - at least for the first encounters. The specials can be great or not great but the staples abide.
rachel metzOctober 15, 2009try the chips and salsa... they make the chips fresh and they're awesome.
Don't look at the real menu. Only order from the specials. Incredible.
Rudest bar staff I've ever encountered. Go somewhere else, they do not want your business.
Eric Doyle BrandJanuary 19, 2010Food is quite good. But service is very average. Waiters are aloof and make u feel like you're in their way.

Think UR favorite neighborhood bar & restaurant.. that's us. As SF continues to lose many of its time honored neighborhood spots, we're not going anywhere.
Menu: "Euro-merican", AUTHENTIC Yucatecan, Italian.
