Get the Devil burger (cuz seitan , git it?) or the tofu scramble . They make their own soy ice cream so get a milkshake while you're at it.

Tom Coates

An absolute breakfast classic in the 24th Street corridor. Great stylish old fashioned diner with a huge menu and capacity to make great milkshakes and malts

Lindsay Eyink

Hangover food, good veggie options , and don't forget they have dinner ! It's pretty cheap and there is beer too.The line on the weekends can get a bit crazy. Best looking American diner in SF. :)

WhiskyAvenger

Dress down or the hot topic punk rock servers will treat you like????. Once you get past their striking a blow for the common man,the food and malts are awesome. Buy yourself some candy on the way out.

Hoverbird

Friendly staff , great food, classic vibe. Going strong for over 100 years. I’ve met grown-ass adults from the neighborhood whose parents went on their first date here as teens.

Melissa Weiss

Solid vegan options - tofu scramble ranchero style, vegan pancakes and soyrizo. Pesto tofu scramble isn't vegan and be sure to ask for dry toast .

carla borsoi

Super vegetarian and vegan friendly from tofu scrambles to vegan pancakes and vegan milkshakes . So very yummy!!

Pei ???? Wen

My definition of American comfort breakfast and brunch . Sit at the bar and enjoy the hipster vibe while swallowing your perfect greasy morning treat.

Czarina L

The upside-down hog cakes are delicious! Bacon , green onion , and cheese in pancake form smothered in maple syrup make the perfect combo of sweet and savory!

Claire Pedersen

Pretty good :) classic diner food , but lots of vegan options . Make sure you get the potatoes w/ sour cream , green onions & salsa (there's a special name for it). You must get the banana bread .

SFist

The "burger " could almost be classified as a pastrami sandwich with its thin-sliced "wheat meat." If you consume dairy, you're counseled to wash down your meal with a shake . Read more

BuzzFeed

If you are of the dairy-eating variety, order an egg to go with your NPT, which features a “pile of spuds ” topped with jack cheese , salsa , sour cream and green onions . Read more

Danielle Lazier SF Realtor & Wannabe Flaneuse

Friendly service , gr8 breakfast and ice cream sundaes . We wish they'd source free range eggs but the menu is broad and will appeal to you, your vegan friend, and your meat-loving in laws from Texas.

Check out St. Francis Fountain as it was featured on Top 5 Restaurants for #3 - Nebulous Potato Thing , potatoes covered with cheese , salsa and an egg Read more

Irina Botea

Really really nice place. The vegan pancakes were delicious. I think this is my favorite brackfast place in the city .

Marek Vermin

The Devil Burger destroyed my soul, had me reciting Anton LaVey in an ancient tongue of R'lyeh, my head spinning around, and the earth combusting around me. When I awoke, I was seited.

DJ C

I don't think you can go wrong here. Chef 's mess, veggie mess , whatever you like. Don't miss out on the banana bread .

Travel + Leisure

Don’t miss the classic black and white milkshake made with Mitchell's ice cream and homemade chocolate syrup .

Emily Pinkerton

While the breakfast options are duly praised, the burger with avocado + jack is a hidden gem , and their fries are perfectly crisp and salty.

Ian Alas

Griddle combo (2 pancakes ) with scrambled eggs and a sausage patty

Samantha Berg

Awesome old school diner . Don't miss the milkshakes !

Stephany

Get the Sandhya Benedict. Bacon & avocado over perfectly poached eggs . Thing your spuds to make your potatoes ones to remember.

Armand Sultan

Even the all soy milk shake is delicious ! Try it. ...and the chicken soup with the biscuit aka "the poor man" is good on a cold day

Guillaume Guillaume

The huevos rancheros and corned beef hash are ????????. But whatever you eat, you need to try their milkshakes .

VegNews Magazine

The aptly titled Vegan Thing—an impressive mound of potatoes , guacamole , vegan cheese , and salsa—cures hangovers better than an Alka-Seltzer. Plus, vegan milkshakes !

William Johnson

Get the upside down hog cakes , and listen to my server. Get a side of sour cream .

Naomi Nes

Great diner breakfast at a cheap (for SF) price.

Brandon Sass

Go here. It's not meant to be a carnival of happiness. It a greasy spoon and does exactly what you'd expect from one. Plus, food's good and the milkshakes are tops.

Alan Fung

Good for breakfast, burgers and sandwiches , and milkshakes . They have vegan options .

MissesVee www.missesvee.com

I am from the East Coast so...get that NY Ruben ! It come with a side so try the spinach salad :-)

Solario

A strange, but great mix of modern hip and old school. Candy and vintage trading cards for sale at the counter.

Serious Eats

Try the Black and White Milkshake , made with Mitchell's ice cream and chocolate syrup . Simple yet decandent and completely classic Read more

Jennifer Burlington

The food is way better than your average greasy diner food . But you won't get Flo serving you here....lots of tattoos instead. Which is great, if you get one with a good attitude.

Filip Mares

Swiss cheese mushroom burger is ok. Spinach salad is AMAZING!

Ricky Sherrill

I am a breakfast guy and this place knows how to do breakfast right. Cannot say a negative thing about the food or service.

Scott Siegel

They do a great Eggs Benedict on the weekends. Also: Sourdough French Toast .

Edelita Valdez

Check out their vegan options ! Vegan sausage , tofu scramble with peanut sauce , pancakes , and milkshakes are all "yum!"

Pam Leiser-Artler

Great food and vegan friendly .

Ros Hodgekiss

Old-style sandwiches , snacks and sodas , without the excess of Wise Sons down the road . Get a booth and go back thirty years.

Ken verb

Messy breakfast foods, Benedict on weekends, milkshakes are all solid.

Laura Sench

Chefs mess - awesome. Tons of friendly hipster employees. Cool atmosphere. Reasonable prices.

Alex H

The upside down hog heaven thing was worth having to share the table with 3 smelly, American Spirit-smoking, scarf-wearing, dickbag hipsters .

Michelle Fiesta

Good potatoes , BLT, and the cranberry orange mimosa !

Christina Castillejo

Grab the country breakfast, the soyrizo and eggs , or the chef 's mess. All are great! OJ is fresh squeezed and they have random old-school candy sold, like Magnum PI bubble gum and cards!

Brady O'Connell

Veggie Mess is certified crack. Dream shake was good but not amazing.

Holger Lüdorf

Chicken Cilantro soup ftw. Pure comfort food .

Diana Galvis

Lots of veggie and vegan options . They refilled my tea ❤️

Nina Chandra

Get the chefs mess with vegan chorizo and stop being hung over.

Ashley Mowrey

Vegan pancakes , vegan mess, best "diner " in the city

Natalie G
