You'll get fresh popovers with butter within about five minutes of sitting down. Eat them while they're warm! The stake tartare comes with green garlic popovers , which are delicious too.

Bommy

Eat the popover with the most amazing salted butter . Definitely make reservations and go for the fried chicken , burger le grand, and doughnuts . Request to sit at the chef 's counter for a kitchen show.

A killer house burger , made from five different cuts of grass-fed, dry-aged beef and topped with a slab of Cowgirl Creamery Mt. Tam cheese , roasted onions , and a couple slabs of bacon Read more

The "restaurant-style" fried chicken is brined and thinly battered with well seasoned buttermilk batter, and garnished with roasted garlic , salt, fried herbs, and lemon , and it's damn good. Read more

It's amazing what comes out of Tyler Florence 's small kitchen at this multi-level restaurant . Try the ricotta and mint agnolotti in butter sauce with English peas , snap peas , and fava beans . Read more

Parham Rouzbahani

Got the East Coast and West Coast oysters and the house burger . Amazing food. Heard a lot of compliments about the fried chicken too. Will make sure to go again.

David R

Wow! Like an upscale British pub if that makes sense. Fried chicken , mac n cheese , black truffle gnocchi , burger...get it all. Drinks are strong ;)

Philip Saul

The mac and cheese was amazing. The fried chicken lives up to the reputation. The burger was good but mostly due to the awesome bun . The toffee dessert with the port pairing was great as well .

Julie Kang

Everything on the menu is masterfully crafted, except flavor leans salty. Cocktails , poutine , fried chicken , deviled eggs : great. Surprisingly transcendent: their salads .

Keith Wilson

Amazing staff and even more amazing food! Fried chicken is awesome, the burger with egg was incredible, oysters , deviled eggs , old school cocktails , everything is good! Can't wait to go back!

Amy Hollands

Organic fried chicken , avocado & hearts of palm salad , roasted corn soup-yum. We sat at the chef 's bar twice during our recent SF visit. Looks like the steak tartare & devil eggs are next on list!

J John

Superb British pub fare in a beautifully designed dining room. Chips , salads , and a legendary burger make this place a must try. A++ service; love this place!

This is a keeper. The food? Amazing! Fresh popovers accompany the delicious house specialty : Fried Chicken ! But there’s more: you must order the Mac-N-Cheese, Deviled Eggs , and Bacon-Wrapped Dates.

Elizabeth Burstein

Absolutely loved the popovers (taste like souffle ), the half lobster was plenty, strawberry watermelon salad was yum!

It’s hard to have a bad time at this frisky FiDi hotspot where solid renditions of Southern and San Francisco classics meet impressive cocktails . [Eater 38 Member] Read more

Fried chicken !! Brocolini! And sider! Make reservations because is really crowded ! El lugar es súper trendy pero vale la pena!

Lauren

Order the organic fried chicken or the burger with an egg on top. They're both the best items on the menu. The popovers melt in your mouth, & the salted butter is an ABSOLUTE requirement.

nina mufleh

absolutely delicious! there's a bit of a draft towards the back of the room (behind the fireplace ) which can be a killer.the food is awesome. all the appetizers are incredible.

Rob Ray

Fried chicken . Poutine . Manhattans . Rinse and repeat. Seriously though, everything I've had here is amazing, so you'll be good no matter what. Their specials are legit, so no shyness!

Justin DiSanto

Fried chicken is excellent and the avocado and heart of Palm salad is tasty. Sitting by the fireplace can get warm and it's near the server station so high traffic.

Ualtar O'Regan

Fine fare in a classic bar/restaurant venue. Located in downtown San Francisco, close to Chinatown, Embarcadero Center and the Financial District.

Jackie Fei

Everything here is DELICIOUS! Ask for extra popovers , and don’t skip the Mac n cheese , beef tartare , Brussels sprouts , and the burger !

Zutanita R

Wow, Popovers like Home made . Everything great. Is a hidden tresure in a lonely steren in San Francisco.

Sarah Strehler

Arguably one of my favourite restaurants in the city . The fried chicken is amazing! And save room for the donuts for dessert !

Ms Helene

Popovers with whipped butter & Burrata appetizer . Private dining room perfect for 30-40. Superb service

Gretchen Schramm

Fried chicken , burger , bone marrow , Mac and cheese , Brussel sprouts !! Absolutely delicious!!

Tanya Nahoum

Really good American style food, perfect for after work or lunch with colleagues, upscale place with great service and great drinks!

Ualtar O'Regan

The Organic Fried Chicken is excellent! Paired with Pumpkin Gnocchi and Burratta Whipped Potatoes makes a completely satisfying meal!

Pair your fried chicken and popovers with a fireside seat at Tyler Florence 's FiDi tavern. Read more

Alex Cheng

I encourage you to fall in love with this place like I did. Sit by the chefs bar to see the magic in action. Take in the beautiful decor and enjoy the food.

Patrick Chamberlain

The fried chicken and burger we both great but the highlight of our lunch was the spring salad with compressed strawberries and peaches .

Helio Medeiros

The steak tartare was awesome, hamburger not so much! You should try the homemade lemonade :)

Stephany

Make sure someone at the table gets the fried chicken . It’s by far the best in SF. Maybe ever.

Envolve Winery

Make sure to try the Envolve Lennox Vineyard Pinot Noir ! Will pair perfectly with the Organic Fried Chicken and Ribeye ! Also perfect to share around the table with friends & family!

Mark Yolton

Steak tartare appetizer , fried chicken or short ribs entree, and either blueberry tart or donut dessert . You can't go wrong.

H K

Beef tartare (on the large side) and deviled eggs were amazing. Burger with egg was great.

Kelly ????

Grilled squid appetizer is a must. Cocktails are on the strong side and poorly executed. Watch out for how well done your meat is...Ordered the $50 American Kobe steak and medium rare was medium well

Diyana D.

Trendy interior, absolutely delicious food! Their significant doughnut it's absolutely divine! ???? + ultra friendly staff ! I love that place!

Jon B.

Great lunch spot in the Fi Di. Friend chicken is outstanding, as are the fresh pop-overs with homemade butter.

Sofie Graham

Wayfare has surprisingly great food! I would recommend this place for a date night or getting together with friends. Have the octopus !

ScottySauce

THOMAS LAYMAN

Steak Tartar to die for! Fried chicken and waffles have the secret mushrooms and bacon . So so good! Great wait staff too

Craig Villamor

There are 3 things I come here for: fried chicken , poutine , cocktails . All good.

The Daily Meal

Tuck into roasted bone marrow , the steak frites , or the Wayfare burger and add a couple of glasses of wine and an order of sticky toffee pudding for truly perfect date fodder. Read more

Zach Aarons

Beautiful interior blends contemporary design elements with old school tavern aesthetic. The steak tartare is delicious as are the popovers and pork chop . (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

Erin O'Quinn

The fried chicken is excellent! The deviled eggs are generous in size, so keep that in mind. Enjoy the popovers !

Jerry C

The fried chicken is awesome and you get a lot. Just make sure they give you the right doggie bag claim ck.

Adrian Garcia

Fried chicken is amazing is fried with lots of herbs and you can taste each individual flavor! Sit at the chef 's counter and you can see them prepare everything! Great service as well .

Nancy Pan

I come here for the popovers ! Bone marrow is amazing, but not here in the summer. Steak tartar , deviled eggs & fried chicken are also winners! Reserve weeks early so ur not eating at 5:15 or 9:45pm!
