1. Elite Cafe
San Francisco, CA 94115
(415) 346-8400
Categories:
Southern,
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhoods: Lower Pac Heights, Pacific Heights
Ate dinner here with a good friend, and really enjoyed it. First, the decor inside is really nice. They have these cute wooden booths (which we didn't actually sit in), and the ambience is really chill. I ordered the chicken tagliatelle with…More »
2. Miller's East Coast Deli
San Francisco, CA 94109
(415) 563-3542
Categories:
Delis,
Sandwiches,
Caterers
Neighbourhood: Nob Hill
Generous portions, and a huge menu to choose from. I've been here for brunch and lunch and the food does not disappoint. Definitely come hungry, though, and you'll probably still have food to take home afterward.
3. The Cheesecake Factory
San Francisco, CA 94102
(415) 391-4444
Categories:

Desserts,
American (Traditional)
Neighbourhood: Union Square
The main reason I'm giving this location 4 stars is because of the spectacular view you can get overlooking Union Square downtown. My boyfriend and I grabbed some drinks here earlier tonight, and went outside to enjoy the view. Yes, the wait is…More »
4. Ferry Building Marketplace
San Francisco, CA 94111
(415) 983-8030
Categories:
Shopping Centers,
Specialty Food
Neighbourhood: Embarcadero
One of my favorite places in San Francisco, hands down. My boyfriend and I really enjoy taking walks on a weekend afternoon here. You can grab a bite to eat, and eat inside, or outside and have an absolutely spectacular view of the Bay. This is…More »
5. Boccalone
San Francisco, CA 94111
(415) 433-6500
Categories:
Meat Shops,
Sandwiches
Neighbourhood: Embarcadero
TASTY! And, really innovative. Can't go wrong with a meat cone -- what a simple, yet creative concept. The proscuitto is delicious, and you can also get a meat cone out of that. Plus, the Ferry Building is just such an amazing experience in and…More »
6. Gott's Roadside
San Francisco, CA 94111
(415) 318-3423
Delicious. Even a basic cheeseburger here tastes so good. This place is great to grab a burger, fries, ice tea, and sit outside on a nice day. One of the more memorable experiences about living in San Francisco.
7. Daily Grill
San Francisco, CA 94102
(415) 616-5000
Category:
American (Traditional)
Neighbourhoods: Union Square, Civic Center/Tenderloin
I really enjoy Daily Grill. My first exposure was in DC when I lived there 8 years (!) ago. When I lived in LA for 5 years, there was also a Daily Grill down there. So, it's an establishment with a lot of fond memories. The chicken marsala is my…More »
8. Bistro Burger
San Francisco, CA 94103
(415) 495-2266
Category:
Burgers
Neighbourhoods: Union Square, SOMA
Yummmm. Got the cheeseburger with cheddar cheese, and it was really tasty. The roll was delicious and it had a really wonderful fresh flavor -- did not disappoint. The onion rings are also really good -- better than the fries, in my opinion. It's…More »
9. Grumpy's American Pub
San Francisco, CA 94111

Categories:
Pubs,
American (Traditional)
Neighbourhood: Embarcadero
DELICIOUS. Oh man, this place is good. I went with a friend of mine for lunch, and I ordered just the cheeseburger w/fries, and it was perfectly cooked, and very savory. I also liked the vibe of this place during the work week -- a relaxing, yet…More »

Categories:

Barbeque
Neighbourhood: Financial District
Good stuff. The short rib entree was really good, and hit the spot. It's a cozy little place -- maybe 12 tables max in the entire restaurant. If you're grabbing dinner, definitely make a reservation. If you're heading in toward happy hour, might…More »
11. The Plant Cafe Organic
San Francisco, CA 94111

Categories:
Coffee & Tea,

Neighbourhood: Financial District
Really fresh, really light food. I ordered the Cobb salad which was delicious and actually thought about it a couple days after I ate it - a sure sign that it is quality! :-) The restaurant itself is a bit hectic around lunchtime, so early/late…More »

Categories:
Coffee & Tea,

Neighbourhood: SOMA
Ugh. I am so sad that I have to write this review, but I need to share the high annoyance I experienced today. Not even 30 minutes after I finished eating my meal, and I was *on the phone* during a work call, *several* people came up to me and were…More »

Categories:
Bars,
American (New)
Neighbourhoods: Union Square, SOMA
Annabelle's is one of those places I would see in my periphery as I would drive down 4th St, most likely on the way to hop on the 101 to SFO. But during a Yelp search, I tried the "concierge" function of a nice dinner place in SOMA on Sunday night,…More »

Categories:

American (New)
Neighbourhoods: Union Square, SOMA
The white pizza is my favorite. Nice location in SOMA, also because I go to school just a couple blocks away. A great place for a quick dinner.
15. Caffe Centro
San Francisco, CA 94107
(415) 882-1500
Categories:
Sandwiches,
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: SOMA
I really like this place. I just moved to SF within the last year, and hadn't visited South Park before, so the whole location was a big treat for me. It has that cute cafe feel, and the staff there was super friendly. I ordered the Cobb salad…More »

Neighbourhood: SOMA
The Marlowe burger is definitely worth the hype. Just the perfect amount of everything on it -- crisp, the burger holds together until the very end.. just lovely. The environment is really cozy too -- maybe 12 tables (including communal tables) in…More »
17. Steep Brew
San Francisco, CA 94103
Categories:
Breweries,
American (New)
Neighbourhood: Potrero Hill
I like this place. Beer/coffee/pastries/food all rolled into one, and it's never a crazy atmosphere (seeing as I had to stop in here several times to pick up coffee for work today). The cream biscuits (not sure if they serve those every morning?)…More »
18. Frjtz
San Francisco, CA 94110
(415) 863-8272
Categories:
Creperies,
Sandwiches,
Belgian
Neighbourhood: Mission
Frjtz is an interesting restaurant. When I went earlier tonight it was blaring rather loud, 70s music, which doesn't necessarily seem to go hand-in-hand with Belgian fries. Moving on... the fries themselves were scrumptious. The best fries I've…More »
19. Cafe Flore
San Francisco, CA 94114
(415) 621-8579
Categories:
American (New),
Bars,
Cafes
Neighbourhood: Castro
I love the layout of this place. Inside/outdoor seating, and the vibe is always one step above casual. The staff are super friendly, and the mac 'n cheese with bacon is outta this world. The versatility of this place is what's so great: food,…More »

In actuality, I think I'd give Home 3.5 stars if it was an option. I ordered the Home Burger with blue cheese (and they had Pt. Reyes Blue Cheese -- a plus!) with fries. Overall, very tasty -- just a lil too much blue cheese, and the brioche bun…More »

(415) 553-8584
Categories:
Breakfast & Brunch,
American (Traditional)
Neighbourhood: Mission
I know how popular this place can get and best time to go: weekday lunch. Hardly anyone there. Just the way I like it. The breakfast tacos were pretty good (although let's be real, ATX breakfast tacos are the best in the country), but I…More »

(415) 379-8988
Categories:
Wine Bars,
American (New)
Neighbourhood: Inner Richmond
My boyfriend and I decided to try out The Richmond for a Saturday dinner date, and it did not disappoint. The ambiance of this restaurant is really small and cozy; I think there were maybe 10 tables max in the entire place. Our waiter was really…More »

Came here with my parents for lunch, and it was great. The view of Ocean Beach and the Pacific Ocean is spectacular, and the food was really good. I ordered the mussels which were very flavorful, and generally enjoyed the vibe and the overall…More »

My boyfriend and I were here for some dear friends yesterday, as it was their wedding day, and where their reception was. It's a perfect venue for a reception: just the right mix between sophisticated and casual, and the servers were nice. The food…More »
25. California Pizza Kitchen
My parents and I went to this location, and it's conveniently located off the 101, and the architecture inside was nice, modern, and we really enjoyed our meal. I ordered my standard white pizza, and it was out of the oven just seconds before.…More »
26. The Melting Pot
This was my first time visiting the Melting Pot, and it was for a good friend's birthday. The location is amazing -- an old building dating back to 1900 and just eating inside was a pretty neat experience. The food itself is pretty good -- I have…More »
27. Café 15
Oakland, CA 94612
(510) 891-3990
Categories:
American (Traditional),
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhood: Downtown Oakland
This place is GOOD. Really tasty, fresh food, and tons of variety. The only con is that their inside seating area is really small so if it's not good weather outside... tough to find a spot to sit.
28. Phil's Sliders
Berkeley, CA 94704
(510) 845-5060
Category:
Burgers
Neighbourhood: Downtown Berkeley
Really, really delicious. Yum. The sliders and tots are perfection. Flavorful, warm, crunchy. Man oh man are they good. I ordered the homemade rootbeer which didn't quite suit my tastes -- hence the name "love it or hate it" rootbeer. But other…More »
29. Chili's Grill & Bar
Ah, Chili's. Since there isn't a Chili's in San Francisco, when I had a car for the day, I decided to marvel in chain restaurant/store life since it's virtually nonexistent in the city. I ordered my staple chicken sandwich with fries, and it was…More »
30. Chili's Grill & Bar
I love this Chili's location. When I drive down to LA, I try to mentally bookmark this place as a town where I get a bite before endless stretches of land on the 5-South begin. Ample seating, good service.
