1. Soup Freaks
Mr. McGuire: I want to say one word to you. Just one word.
Benjamin: Yes, sir.
Mr. McGuire: Are you listening?
Benjamin: Yes, I am.
Mr. McGuire: Corn.

2. Pasta Paradiso - CLOSED
I just grabbed lunch at Pasta P, and I was pleasantly surprised.
The gents behind the counter were friendly and helpful and the food came out so fast that I thought they must have the wrong table.
The bread and butter was generic yet appreciated, but…More »
3. Taqueria Cancun
San Francisco, CA 94103
(415) 864-6773
Category:
Mexican
Neighbourhoods: Civic Center/Tenderloin, SOMA
There was a roach in my tortilla chips today. The manager was entirely nonplussed when I asked for a new basket of chips and didn't even apologize. Still the best burritos in town for the price.

Categories:
Coffee & Tea,
Korean,
Sandwiches
Neighbourhood: Financial District
This cafe is a hidden gem. I'm still here because I couldn't leave without filing a review.
I was just looking for a place where I could go online, have a drink and get some things checked off my to-do list between home in Chinatown and work on New…More »
5. Goat Hill Pizza - CLOSED
I've had a lot of pizzas delivered, but this was the first time I have ever been delivered to the pizza.
I walked into Goat Hill on Harrison and 3rd, expecting to find the dangerous duo I was planning to meet, but instead, there was an empty dining…More »
6. Ayola
Still the best fries in the city and still only $2. They serve them salted and peppered, which puts them over the top, and there are 2 kinds of hot sauce available for dipping, but I wish their ketchup was better quality.
The gyros are the best…More »

7. Buckhorn Grill
San Francisco, CA 94103
(415) 369-6150
Category:
American (Traditional)
Neighbourhood: SOMA
As far as fast food goes, this is one of my favorites. Ridiculously quick turnaround between ordering and being served, good, although often tough steak sandwiches, self-serve soda, and fried onion strings to die for on the sandwich or as a side.
I…More »

Categories:
Delis,

Coffee & Tea,
Bagels
Neighbourhood: Financial District
When I used to walk down Montgomery to get from Chinatown home to work, Deli & was one of my regular bagel stops, and still when I wander north of Market on a leisurely lunch I stop in. I've eaten a lot of bagels in the financial district, and I've…More »

Categories:
Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt,

Working Girls is my morning stop when I am running a little early, and on the occasion that I need a little mid-afternoon sun and fro-yo.
Max and the rest of the staff are very friendly and they have paid enough attention to start anticipating my…More »
10. Osha Thai
Good spot for lunch in the FiDi. Despite a line that streams out the door, it usually only takes a few minutes to get seated. The food is good and comes out quickly. Prices are fine and the decor is nice. I've had one ass of a waiter here, but I…More »
11. Katz Bagels
Still the best tasting bagels I've found in the city, but the guy behind the counter needs to stop smoking crack. Let's look at a transcript of this morning's order:
Me: I'd like two raisin bagels and one everything bagel
Guy: We're out of everything…More »

I just had lunch by myself at Pasta Bene. My lovely lunch buddy, Uttara had to eat with her in-laws, so I decided to venture into uncharted waters by myself. I will be dragging her back with me tomorrow.
Can I just say that I love alleys? At the…More »

San Francisco, CA 94104

Categories:
Japanese,
Vegetarian
Neighbourhood: Financial District
Good concept, good prices, great food. One fatal flaw: lousy service.
From someone who loves little more than the occasional chicken fried steak smothered in gravy, I would probably pass it up for the healthy vegan fare at Medicine.
I would also pay…More »
14. Flames Mediterranean & Burgers - CLOSED
San Francisco, CA 94105
(415) 896-5084
Decent burgers and fresh-cut fries (the curly ones are frozen though). I got the Texas Burger with bacon, cheese, jalapenos and BBQ sauce and some fries. The meat is advertised as the all-natural stuff, so I feel good about that, and you can watch…More »

San Francisco, CA 94105

Categories:
Sushi Bars,
Japanese
Neighbourhood: SOMA
Overpriced. Ugly interior. Mediocre service. Bland grey food. There is no good reason to go here.

For the price, it is shameful how bad the food is. Ok, so I have only been here once and would normally not comment unless I have given it a couple tries, but damn, I will not be going back any time soon.
Apparently, we should have gone for sushi,…More »
17. John Colins
How did John Collins move into a bigger space and make it feel smaller than the old one, and without the warmth and character of the original. Friday happy hour service was totally FUBAR. I couldn't get within ten feet of the bar and there was only…More »

Recently updated lists from Quinn S.
My Hood (Cole Valley/Top of the Haight) (27)I just moved to Cole Valley near Upper Haight, on the southeast corner of Golden Gate Park to be imprecise.I knew what I was getting into when I moved here. There is so much great stuff all around me. |
Cole Valley Love (12)The places that brought me back out of the metropolis and into suburbia upon my recent immediate need to move (05/2007). |
SF Cocktail Bars (6)All you need to know about cocktailing in San Francisco is A-B-C and the 3 Rs |
A perfect day on Haight... (9)...starts with Chicken Fried Steak and eggs for breakfast at Pork Store and then purchasing fake mustaches at Cheap Thrills to wear out for a little shopping and tourist teasing around Haight Ashbury.Then we would take a nice long walk down to Cafe International and spend the rest of the morning drinking coffee and chatting on the back patio (mustaches optional). Lunch would be served at Ploy II or El Balazo depending on our mood and then we could waste the afternoon exploring and listening to music at Amoeba. Dinner at Citrus Club followed by an art opening/excuse to hang out in a toy store at Giant Robot, and a couple of PBRs or a Spa Collins and live jazz in a booth at Club Deluxe. On the way home, we would see a "Going Out Of Business" sign on the McDonald's at Haight and Stanyan and all would be right with the world. |
Big Easy Hedonism (3)I go to New Orleans for a week every year to attend a bartender convention (no, really), and all I do is eat and drink very well. |
NY Cocktail Tour (6)To start 2010, a great group of friends led me though the cocktail ins and outs of New York on my visit from the West Coast.Night 1: Joe's Ginger, The Randolph, Milk & Honey, White Star, Mayahuel, Lit Lunge Night 2: Char No. 4, Clover Club, PDT Night 3: some dive bar, another bar, a third bar (I'll look into this) Night 4 (down 'n' out in Brooklyn): Huckleberry, Brooklyn Star, Trash Bar, Union Pool |
All Along the N-Judah (17)Food worth getting off the train for. |
My Former Neighborhood (Inner Sunset ) (17)I lived near Ninth and Irving. I loved it except that I lived up-hill from Ninth and Irving. |
Raw Fish (14)Sushi in the City |
Favorite SF Restaurant Reviews (22)Let's cut out all the other stuff. Here are some of my favorite restaurants in San Francisco. |
