Categories:
Diners,
American (Traditional)

Although no longer 24/7 but only 24hrs on select days (mostly surrounding the weekends), Bagdad continues to be a favorite of mine among friends as well. Last time I made my way here I ordered a custom three egg omelet with avocado, mushroom, and…More »

Categories:
Diners,
Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt,
American (New)
A number of years I had come here for breakfast, and didn't forget what a pleasant and filling experience that was. However, last evening was the first time I visited for a little dinner. My friend had a tuna melt, and I had an egg salad sandwich…More »

Breakfast & Brunch,

American (Traditional)
Yum yum yum. A friend and I came here for a rather late brunch, and we were greeted by a busy and rather full restaurant. Luckily for us, we were able to score seating right away, and were greeted by a cheery but non-annoying and attentive server. It…More »
4. Orphan Andy's
San Francisco, CA 94114
(415) 864-9795
Categories:
Diners,
American (Traditional)
Neighbourhood: Castro
Old school diner delights, great for after a bar crawl or simply after a night out on the town. I had previously visited here nearly 8 years ago, on a similar night, and was glad to finally visit again. The pancakes certainly haven't changed, and…More »

Creperies

Tons of variety to be had at the Squat & Gobble, from the crepes, to omelettes, to sandwiches, and pasta dishes, among other offerings. I had the pasta puttanesca, and with shrimp at $9.75 represents a steal, as many other eateries charge much more…More »
6. The Little Mermaid - CLOSED
Love the aebelskiver! enjoyed this last summer, will come back again and hopefully bring friends.
7. Sparky's 24 Hour Diner
Last weekend, after viewing one of the SF Jewish Film Festival titles, we were very hungry for some good eats, and I suggested to my movie companion that we go and snag dinner at Sparky's. This was one of the 24hr establishments that I had yet to…More »

American (Traditional),
Breakfast & Brunch,
Burgers
Neighbourhood: West Hollywood
After driving half the day to SoCal and wandering around WeHo only to find parking really bites around there if you're on the unfamiliar side, a friend and I decided on Mel's. I had eaten at multiple Mel's locations in the Bay Area, but when I used…More »
9. CCSR Cafe - Lutticken's Deli
I must say, the best veggie meatball subs ever! Back in the day when I worked at this side of campus, I used to get them every so often and haven't forgotten them. I also enjoyed and miss the coffee in the mornings with the large muffins, priced just…More »

Weekend before last I went twice to this establishment. First, I met a college classmate before he went over to SFO to pick up his wife and daughter. We had some pie, and my was that good pie. He had an apple sour cream slice, while I chose the…More »
12. The Ace of SandwicheS
Came across Ace while browsing Yelp on a day that I had to go home in the middle of the day to pick up something I had forgotten earlier that morning, and so I thought, anything quick I could get on the run would be great for my lunch. What grabbed…More »
13. International House of Pancakes
Hahah, I love PictureGirl F's comment: "It's iHop, not Gary Dankos. Don't take it so seriously." LMAO! No I didn't take it so seriously last night, but had a good time with a friend with some rather salacious but lively and for sure, real…More »
14. Denny's
Interesting how some Yelpers seem to universally pan this place or the establishment in general. well, you have to account for bad experiences, so I can't negate what they've said, either. At any rate, my bf and I wanted some inexpensive good eats…More »
15. Broom Bush Cafe
Chris found this place as we turned on to San Pablo seeking breakfast as Café Cacao only serves breakfast on weekends, as we sadly found out earlier. We were a little disappointed, as we weren't able to get our chocolate on. However, Broom Bush's…More »
16. Flames Eatery & Bar
Ever since I started grad school back in 2005 at SJSU right across the street, I had always wondered about that corner of 4th right across from the King Library, because of an empty area under the parking garage, with signs in the windows stating…More »

Omg, can I say yum enough? On this day, the celebration of my bf's and my 3 month anniversary, he took me to this place of his childhood memories. (He even recalls when the establishment used to be located at El Paseo.) I have not had blintzes in…More »
18. Carrows - CLOSED
My dear Yelp readership, while this most certainly isn't five star eats, just give this diner-style joint its fair due! Certainly, some servers during particular hours get it nearly completely wrong. But if you're located close to this Hamilton…More »
19. Denny's
After our harrowing ordeal of waiting at a not-so-fine Sunnyvale establishment, a friend and I made our way to this Denny's last night. And as the server IMMEDIATELY sat us down and promptly took our orders for drinks and didn't take too long for the…More »
20. Conrad's Restaurant Pasadena
Solid diner food, with a twist of true old school. So where does the old school come in? With my tuna melt, I had a side salad, which was adorned with julienne of sliced beets--can't recall the last time here on the West Coast I've been served a…More »
