I ordered the Plow because I figured you can't go wrong with the signature breakfast and I was not disappointed. This was the best breakfast I have had in the states . Well worth the line up!!

Joel Corpus

I'm not a carb eater but hands down the best breakfast potatoes I've ever had! So crispy ! Other standouts are the chia seed pudding and almond flour pancakes !

Luke Bornheimer

The wait at Plow can get over two hours (especially on the weekends), so be sure to put your name down ahead of time (or plan to wait)—the brunch potatoes are a must, but you can't order anything bad.

Brian Park

Long wait but deservedly so; It's the best brunch spot in SF for a reason. Their housemade Pork Sausage patties , Nueske's Bacon , and Lemon Ricotta Pancakes are outstanding

Nick Hsslgrv

Best breakfast in the city hands down. Worth the wait if you bring your own mimosas and coffees to sip on out on the curb. Pro tip: Put your name in and then walk up to the top of Potrero hill . View .

Eater

the Chinese breakfast bowl , comes with chunks of salty-sweet pork shoulder , baby bok choy , ginger , chili paste , and Jasmine rice topped with two fried eggs , and might be worth the wait. Read more

This is an excellent place for brunch & more than worth the wait for a table. The founders not only have a passion for food, as you can see from the cool exterior seating, they also have great taste. Read more

Probably cannot get any more hipster than Plow, but crowds of moustaches outside are absolutely right about the place. We had an amazing brunch - eggs , apple sausage and lemon ricotta pancakes .

Anna L

Orange cake is zomg good. Plow breakfast is also a great deal..good way to try all their popular items including the gf almond pancakes , housemade sausage and crispy potatoes :) yumm

Eater

San Francisco’s favorite brunch spot does its breakfast sandwich right with two soft-fried eggs , aioli , cheddar and frisee on an Acme bun , plus potatoes on the side. Read more

Mariana Bernasconi

Amazing almond pancakes ! Gluten free to boot! The coffee gets refilled quickly and I honestly cannot think of a better way to start the day! Missing good vegan options though.

Diana Arz

Plow was delish. Potatoes are the star. Pork sausage was a better choice than chicken Apple. Get side of bacon . A bit overhiped, but very good breakfast food . Come on weekday, prepare to wait, pricey .

Eater

Lovers of weekday breakfast can rejoice in Plow's options, that include their popular lemon ricotta pancakes alongside staples like breakfast sandwiches and porridge . Read more

Jenny New

The lemon ricotta pancakes are so scrumptious. For the best deal, share The Plow. Just know that there is ALWAYS!! a wait and the outdoor seating is usually a bit chilly.

Rebecca Maldonado

My highlight was the Hong Kong style toast , decadent! We also had the lemon ricotta pancakes and french toast...but, they were okay. It's a very small place, hence the long wait .

Kajsa Bengtson

Everything except the waiting line . The granola and yogurt is a great alternative if you’re not in to heavy stuff like pancakes and sandwiches . No green juices :(

Justin McKissick

I got the Plow, a full breakfast with eggs , bacon/sausage, lemon ricotta pancakes , and the best breakfast potatoes I've had in awhile. Worth the long wait !

Michael Smith

Totally thought this was a night club in a drunken night out. Came in to dance , left with a belly full of eggs and bacon . 10/10 would get jiggy with it again.

Pavan Kulkarni

Breakfast potatoes were perfect and egg sandwich was yummilicious. The wait is a longer than an hour on weekends . So reserve and walk to the ramp to chill with some beers and ship dockyard view .

Shruthi Gowda

Lemon ricotta pancakes are phenomenal. I had the plow, the home made pork sausage patties are flavourful however I didn't like the poached eggs (it was completely cooked) the fried potatoes are yummy.

Luke Bornheimer

The brunch potatoes are a must, even if they don't come with your meal. Also, the fried egg sandwich and French toast are phenomenal. Really though, everything is outstanding. You can't go wrong.

Nikhil Varty

The breakfast is great… many fun choices… no espresso and warm drinks is a negative… the door open policy due to Covid but without providing any heat is a killer

Miguel Tejada-Flores

Breakfast . Brunch . Lunch . Classic 'American Cooking', an almost meaningless term, redefined in terms of bite after delicious bite. One you go here, you keep coming back...it's that good.

Chad B

Since it was my first time here, I went with The Plow. Crispy potatoes , eggs cooked over easy and almondbutter pancakes . Great meal to start your day.

Jenny Ung

The breakfast potatoes were the best I've ever had. Lemon ricotta pancakes were good too, so was the coffee . Lovely brunch spot in charming neighborhood , a must try!

Chad Horner

there is going to be a wait, but it's a fun neighborhood to hang out in. get the plow plate to get a sampling of all the goodness on offer

Jose Palomares

Lemon ricotta pancakes and French toast are delicious. Their potatoes are top too, get the Plow and toast and try it all!

ᴡ Elliot

Get the chia seed pudding as a shared appetizer , then the plow plate . Go early! We got there at 7:45am and had a 30min wait for a party of 6.

Sharon Wu

Worth the wait? Maybe! The cornbread is (good) heavy, scrambled eggs were over cooked, the sausage was juicy, and the plow potatoes were to die for! The lemon ricotta pancakes could use more zest.

Simon Sylvest

Went there on a Saturday noon. Really busy - but the que went fast. Super local and vibrant atmosphere. Ok food. The whole area around 18th and Texas is really cool

Angel Fu

We got here around 12 on a Saturday and the wait was about one hour (for 2 people). I got The Plow, and the lemon ricotta pancakes and homemade sausages are absolutely amazing!

Eater

Creamy housemade ricotta and tart lemon make the pancakes here as light as a feather, even when drowned in honest-to-goodness maple syrup . Read more

Lauren Mac

Wow. Best brunch I've had in SF. Don't miss The Plow -- lemon ricotta pancakes , moist eggs , and crispy potatoes .

Noah Weiss

The perfect egg breakfast sandwich with slabs of bacon on top. This is the quintessential SF brunch spot .

Chetna Pannu

Their potatoes are delicious just like everyone mentioned. I had the breakfast sandwich and it was yummy and quite filling.

Josh Pyles

Food is very good, but not a big fan of the wait. Go on a weekday and get the Plow – it's their greatest hits on one plate.

Brad T

Great food all around. Avoid the crowd/wait and do a late brunch around 1:30ish. Sit in 30, grab a grapefruit mamosa while u wait, eat 15 mins after you order. Done. Now go take a nap.

Chris Golden

Sit at the bar and watch the spectacular operation that is the open kitchen . For food you need to go all in and get The Plow (with the house made sausage ).

Phui Leng Chan

Go for the Plow! Awesome lemon ricotta pancakes and the house made sausage patties ! Best brunch I've ever had!

Jole P

The plow plate has the best of everything - definitely try their house made sausage and the lemon ricotta pancakes are the best thing you'll ever eat

Ashley Mowrey

It will a 90% chance of an hour wait. 100% delicious pancakes and breakfast potatoes . Is it worth the wait? Hard to know considering by the time you get your food you're famished. Those potatoes tho.

Ramzi L.

This is probably one of the best breakfast places I've ever been to. I order over medium eggs , homemade fries and toast which you would nothing nothing special about them, rich flavor and satisfying.

Sel Kurun

Lemon ricotta pancakes . Healthy choice would be the black rice bowl ????????

Jimmy Hooker

My favorite breakfast place in San Francisco. Get their namesake dish, so, so good. The waits are brutal, but worth it. Those lemon ricotta pancakes ...

Agatha Yu

Try everything. Amazing fried egg sandwich , BLT, cold smoked salmon toast and etc etc. you won't be disappointed!

Stephany

Somehow this place is actually worth the wait. Got a bene and shared a salad and both were unreal. The smashed then friend potatoes are like whoa.

Yasmin

Beyond yummy potatoes . Seriously, you'll dream about them. Can't go wrong with the Plow plate . Be prepared to wait but I promise, the potatoes (or lemon ricotta pancakes ) are worth it.

Kylie

Best breakfast potatoes in San Francisco. Long, long wait , so hop across the street for the strongest Bloody Mary to pass the time.

Jacy Li

Their potato are super yummy and crispy . Plow seems to update their menu every other time. Crazy lines even on weekday mornings. ????

adriana castro

The plow and the avocado toast are heavenly must try. Service is very good worth every minute wait
