Jason BellSeptember 18, 2016The easy choice is to get the plow. The harder choice is bacon or sausage. Go sausage.
Peter FridaySeptember 27, 2016Long lines on the weekend, but worth it. Nice neighborhood to hangout in while you wait too.
Coralie SabinJune 24, 2015I tried both lemon ricotta and almond pancakes. I liked the almond one better, great breakfast!
LinaMay 31, 2019Not sure how this is ranked as no. 1 in breakfast! Mediocre taste, nothing extraordinary or amazing! The french toast wasn’t cooked well(it was soggy) eggs were tasteless! Only the pancakes were good!
Chris H.April 1, 2016The pancakes were good, but not worth the wait as nothing is that memorable. Do not eat outside. You're in the shade and they give you a blanket for a reason.
AmandaMay 11, 2015Definitely get the Plow. I've heard it's one of the best brunches in the city and I'd certainly agree.
Alex RodriguezAugust 25, 2014Try the plow brunch. Everything was delicious, the pancakes were the best!
Lingy MaiMay 12, 2014Better than Mama's !!! Amazing potatoes, crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside! The ricotta pancakes were just alright for me.
Q LamNovember 29, 2014Long wait but worth it...as long as you get something with the lemon ricotta pancakes
Try the The Plow (W/Scrambled Eggs And Sausage) - Sausages fresh, eggs moist and fluffy, potatoes insane....pancakes super light and fluffy
Edmund BoeyFebruary 20, 2018Better be ready to wait over an hour, the food is good thou. Potatoes are amazing and come with almost every dish
Their breakfast potatoes are amazing!! I wish I could eat them every day without the consequences of weight gain.
Hugo BarraFebruary 24, 2013Fried egg sandwich is a must. Add bacon and avocado to unlock further incredibleness.
Alice MJanuary 3, 2016The prosciutto and Gruyere toast was incredible - a challenge to eat, but worth the work
Al B.July 11, 2016Potatoes here are AMAZING. If you are unsure, go for The Plow dish. Worth every penny.
Ron FellNovember 16, 2018Consistently great breakfast/brunch. Line forms about half an hour before opening. No reservations
Everything is great. I usually go with the plow. Love the lemon ricotta pancakes too.
Lemon ricotta pancakes are soo light, fluffy, and zesty! Get coffee..yummy Equator coffee, easily have about 5 refills. Come on a weekday for better chances @ a table.
If you are looking for parking, it's hard to find on Monday and Wednesday mornings because of street cleaning.
One order of lemon ricotta pancakes with a side of bacon is going to make both of my weekend brunches so good!
CarissaFebruary 19, 2020porchetta sandie and homemade guava lemonade were 👍🏻. the biscuit was good/ok.
JTApril 5, 2018Delicious potatoes and pancakes on the pricey side because of the quality of the food
CherylFebruary 4, 2014Solid brunch options here! However, the "complimentary" coffee offered to you while you wait, will be added to your bill later.
Andrew HarastaMarch 27, 2018Food is amazing here. What really stood out were the potatoes and pancakes!
Claire PedersenJanuary 16, 2015My favorite breakfast place here in SF! You have to get their potatoes and you will always have to wait in line :(
Mattia AstaMay 10, 2019Great the Plow breakfast. Great location with views of SF. Long lines, show up early.
Ross AllenSeptember 24, 2014Two egg breakfast poached with chicken apple sausage, and I'm in a great mood for the morning.
Jennifer BecknerOctober 27, 2012Not a big fan of pancakes... but the lemon ricotta ones here are amazing! Share "The Plow" and you get a little bite of everything. <3- Elizabeth SlaterAugust 8, 2015Great breakfast served throughout the week. Cute ambiance. Wish they took reservations
Christine CunninghamNovember 29, 2015Everything was great. The apple french toast was perfect with a mimosa.
Nick CollinsJanuary 29, 2017Get there early because this place has an increased demand that's well worth the wait.
Felix ChuOctober 22, 2014Crispy potatoes! My go to order is The Plow (substitute for almond flour pancakes).
Cat ColmanJune 2, 2013Get the Plow. Lemon ricotta pancakes AND eggs = the bomb. Only downside, no Bloody Mary's. But very nice Sauvignon Blanc.- Blake SamicJuly 12, 2014Good food. Cool space. But the music makes you feel like you're eating at Abercrombie and Fitch.
Stanley JuddSeptember 9, 2014Lemon ricotta pancakes! Coffee sadly way too weak though. Homemade sausage! Service!
ShabeebDecember 3, 2013odd opening hours, but get in early to beat the wait. Order pretty much anything with the home fries
Andrew CulpAugust 13, 2013Get The Plow with the house made sausage. It comes with the amazing lemon ricotta pancakes.
Serious EatsSeptember 26, 2014The breakfast potatoes are stellar, but arrive early to avoid insane lines.- Seth BannonAugust 23, 2014Charming brunch spot. Food is superb. Be ready for a long wait on weekends.
