Stephen WagstaffMarch 27, 2011The Plow is your best bet at breakfast. Their potatoes are to die for. Opt for sausage over bacon.UpvoteDownvote
Great homemade Lemonade and the crispy potatoes really are the best!Upvote1Downvote
Great breakfast & brunch spot! "Feels like Sydney" someone told me - which seems right.

Sit outside. Bring a coat or blanket -- you can wait 40 minutes outside OR usually be seated immediately outside and be gone in 40 minutes...UpvoteDownvote
When they have them - the pancakes cooked in duck-fat...just rock.UpvoteDownvote
Expensive but good. Always long waits on weekendsUpvoteDownvote
Be bold! The Chinese breakfast is a great way to start the day.UpvoteDownvote
If you want to get seated at opening time, arriving 5 minutes early seems to be sufficient.Upvote4Downvote

Gil MestermanNovember 16, 2014It was nice. Nothing more than that. Surely the most overrated place around. Can't understand the huge line @8am.

SaraJanuary 24, 2016This is the worst brunch place in SF. Worst service and very bad food, the French toast was extremely burnt. I don't understand why it's ranked 1 best place for brunch 👎🏼UpvoteDownvote
Flavia StefaniJuly 28, 2013We've been sitting here for nearly 40 minutes now and yet, no sign of our food. Took them 25 minutes to bring a blueberry cake over to our table -a normal slice of cake, not freshly baked or anything.Upvote1Downvote
The aioli makes the sublimity of the fried-egg sandwich.UpvoteDownvote
