1. Espetus Churrascaria
A Meat lovers paradise.
Came as a group of 10+ for a guys night out hearty dinner. It's kinda dressy but since it's the peninsula, pretty casual. Throughout the restaurant it seemed like a lot of groups were celebrating birthdays.
If you're really…More »
2. Pampas
Wow, I can't decide which one I like better, Pampas or Espetus.
While Espetus is a little more formal, Pampas is more modern and trendy. I really like the lounge/house/bossa nova they play here. The layout of the space is more intimate than Espetus.…More »

If this place was in any other part of the city I think the line would be easily be 10 times as long! (We were the only ones there)

Came for a guy's night out of 7 and I can say it's good to be a man.
Only a man can get excited over 10 inches of pure meat pleasure called the TOMAHAWK RIBEYE ($68). Love that the menu say's BIG instead of the weight. Granted, it's only 5 inches of…More »

9. Epic Roasthouse
You definitely pay for the awesome view. Their dining room is right below the Bay Bridge and you're in a restored water pump house that provided water to the area during the 1906 earthquake and fire.
Took some international guests for dinner and they…More »

Places like this is seriously what Yelp was made for.

4.5 stars. Not the best I've had but it's something I'd recommend.

16. Poc-Chuc
The newest resto I'm adding to my rotation, filing it right under my pork fanatic list.
Casual, authentic, fresh, and filling. Never had Mayan food before but the flavors were a bit different from your typical taqueria and Mexican fare.
* Ordered…More »
17. The Office
Solid 3.5 stars
Came on a sunny Thursday for happy hour/guys night out. No joke this place was crowded. The crowd was a little bit older with some younger folks mixed in. Some people looked like they came from work. The typical San Carlos crowd.

(415) 362-7880
Came in for a Monday happy hour.
Good casual mixed crowd; tourists, people after work that live in the neighborhood and people just out and about. Not too crowded, not too loud. Enough tables and seating areas to make it good for groups or a break up…More »
19. Jack's Restaurant and Bar
This updated Lyon's type restaurant is literally across the street from Tanforan. Inside, the look of the interior and crowd remind me of Boulevard in Daly City, a little older and a little less ethnic. I overheard from one of the waitresses that…More »
20. South Pacific Island Restaurant
Never had Samoan / Polynesian food so was excited to try it out.
Inside it's cafeteria style but these ain't your typical lunch ladies. These guys looked like they should start on the D-line of the 49ers! They were friendly and gave me and my…More »

22. Henry's World Famous Hi-Life
Every other Friday or so, I set up a dinner out with my boys.
Once I saw this on Diner's, Drive-inn's, and Dives, I bookmarked it for one of those testosterone filled Man Food guy nights out.
It's not fancy since it looks like an old school dive bar…More »
23. Geneva Steak
Geneva Steak is a an old school connection to this Neighborhood.
It's been here for as long as I remember and every city blue collar neighborhood has this cheap and filling hof brau type of joint.

25. Fletch's
3.5 stars.
Ever since I came back from Chicago, I've had some serious cravings for a Chicago dog.

27. Godfather's Burger Lounge
The foods decent but not so much the service.
Came here on a Friday night to celebrate my friend making the Swat team. Pretty busy, so no available seats but we were the first ones waiting for a table. Guess what? Twenty minutes and 3 groups later,…More »
28. Naglee Park Garage
Like a fly to sh*t I, love going to all the places Guy Fieri features on Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives.

Category:
Steakhouses
Neighbourhood: Nob Hill
I use to looooooove HOPR's King Henry's cut ($40 for the biggest slice they have) it was thick, juicy, tasty, and tender. Now, it's not as thick, not as tender and the middle was pretty bland and excessively chewy. Their creamed spinach wasn't as…More »

San Francisco, CA 94118
(415) 752-2298
Category:
American (Traditional)
Neighbourhood: Inner Richmond
Q's is exactly the type of place that can make people visiting SF jealous.
The food and ambiance is chill, fun, and quirky. Think Mobile Alabama Honkey Tonk meets hipster Valencia Ave. (http://www.yelp.com/bi...)
Visually, there's tons to look at, so…More »
31. Big Mouth Burger
3.3 stars
A mouthful since they use half a pound of all natural organic beef in their burgers. However, everybody uses all natural organic beef in their burgers now so tastewise, nothing special.
Went for a weekday work lunch and it was pretty busy.…More »
32. Walzwerk
First of all, Walzwerk is East German, so it's a little bit different from the typical Germanic restaurants that go beer, brats, and lederhosen.
The crowd is late 20's to 30's, lighting is dim, decor is eclectic, and the tables are picnic (perfect…More »
33. Back A Yard Caribbean American Grill
Just a couple points of interest -
- Their oxtail and jerk pork combo platter will tingle tastebuds that even dentists never knew existed.
- Every single person that I've took here has had mouthgasm's and then went back on their own for seconds,…More »

Categories:
Dive Bars,
American (Traditional)
Neighbourhood: Outer Richmond
Why some low yelp reviews? People forget that the Tee Off is a bar FIRST.
Just because you saw it on the Food Network doesn't mean the Tee Off is the second coming of Gary Danko with food that will blow your mind.... at least not while sober.
Just…More »

San Francisco, CA 94102
(415) 431-2440
I never knew Hayes Valley aka the haven for haute couture would have such a legit Chicago style Jewish deli right in it's hood.

Categories:

Wait, Hooters at Tanforan? The same Tanforan that had the $1.99 movie theatre in the basement? The same Tanforan with the always super busy "I can write your name on a grain of rice" kiosk?
Well, ironically, this Hooters used to be, "Butterfly", a…More »
37. Devil's Canyon Brewing Company
From the Harbor bar I noticed a whole bunch of people going in and out of this little business park, you know the type that looks like a public storage facility with gates and garage like office spaces.
"Oh yeah, you might want to check it out. Last…More »
38. British Bankers Club - CLOSED
A total guy spot.
I came here on a Friday night with some friends. The scene is very mahogany, brass and brick. Some cool antique chandeliers all covered in snow cotton balls. This was a turn of the century bank building before and it looked and felt…More »
39. Harry's Hofbrau
The Art of the Hof Brau
Grab a lunch tray and make your way through the old school wood panelings of the cafeteria style lunch line to enjoy the lost and often overlooked art of the Hof Brau.
Nowadays, only a special type of person can appreciate the…More »
40. The Deep Fried Twinky & Pastrami Shop - CLOSED
Hell yeah it was worth the drive from the peninsula for some deep fried twinkie goodness! We were able to fill up the tank with gas as well since the shop is inside of a Valero gas station.
The twinkie shop also deep fries oreos, pb&j's, cupcakes,…More »
