The pizza here is fantastic! The crust is lighter and crispier than a traditional Neopolitan style crust. This place is the real deal.
An ever-changing menu keeps this lunch-only spot very attractive for our attention span. Get the best fried chicken sandwich in the city (actually, the world) here on Tuesdays - only. CLOSED MONDAYS.

We loved the daily special with a generous sprinkling of bacon, thin slices of Peruvian purple potatoes and drizzles of pesto ($5). There are a few seats indoors, and a whole row of tables outside. Read more.
A little take away spot that helps you realize how bad Chipotle is. The Pollo Al Horno bowl is amazing.

One of my favorite American bar and grills. Yes it's part of a chain, but the food and service are excellent. The Western burger is one if my top five burgers ever.
Hands down! The best char-broiled chicken with the best fries! Fries feel like homemade and the chicke is cooked to perfection! A must-eat if you are in the area!
Guy says if you're looking for live music, fresh delicious seafood, a huge patio and good times, you've got to head to Pier 23. Many come for the legendary NorCal oven-roasted Dungeness crab Read more.
Meatballs app was tasty! Pizza Margherita had a little less cheese than I would've liked, but I'd get it again all the same. The crust was wonderfully chewy.
This diner is one of my favorite North Beach spots for breakfast/brunch -- short wait times, huge portions, and delicious Bailey's milkshakes.
Any sandwich with the soft sourdough bread is a must but the italian combo or the chicken salad is a must!
If you like a spicy cocktail go for a Margarita Picante! I know people rave about the tacos but I don't love them. Go for a mix of the small plates - squid, tuna tostadas, meatballs, guac...

The best cheesesteak on the west coast. Amazing bread. The whiz is a crowd pleaser, but I personally love provolone! Hard to go wrong.

The house special eggplant is delicious! And the complimentary tea and soup is a nice bonus.

I love this restaurant! Get the Kalua Pig lettuce wraps, they're awesome! Chef comes around to talk to you too and he's nice and laid back makes you feel special ;-)
Truly excellent falafel--crunchy outside, tender inside, green with parsley. Killer hummus, baba, yogurt/tzatziki. Gyros are doner kabab/shwarma style, not the strips of sliced meat. Hot sauce ftw!
Try the Farmer's breakfast sandwhich of applewood bacon, cheddar cheese, chive butter, fried over-easy egg and roasted potatoes on levain, every craveworthy breakfast component is already in the mix. Read more.

AWESOME burgers - the Popeye is my favorite! AND, Stella was $5. Perfect combo.
Good ole fashioned pub goodness served in a brick-walled space. It sits on the site of an “Old Ship” wreck from the mid-1800s. Teri says to get some chips with cheese and sausage or peppercorn gravy.
Wonderful ceviche, clam chowder is excellent with tasty and nicely sizes morsels of clams. Seafood platter for two was yummy too!
Very large potatoes stuffed with fresh, flavorful ingredients. Don't be afraid to ask for suggestions! The staff is very helpful and kind. Oh, and get a sweet potato brownie. Your world will change.
Froyo. Green Smoothies. Healthy and delicious salads and sandwiches. A bit pricier of the cafe options, but a good once-a-weeker.
It's pretty cheap and the service was quick! Pizzas are big enough for two people, maybe three if you get a side.
Cheapest place to eat a very tasty and creamy clam chowder in sourdough bread bowl and no need to purchase drinks with your meal; they offer water free of charge.
You can order off the menu, keep that in mind when you pick what you want. Even one topping is enough.
Ferry Plaza Seafood opens in North Beach. With the new space comes a larger dining area, a full kitchen & a larger menu, though oysters are still a key part of the equation. Read more.
This inexpensive hole-in-the-wall serves handmade renditions of the Mexican usuals along with awesome, unusual Yucatan specialties like panuchos - all with their amazingly tender slow-roasted meats.
