This large, wholly unpretentious family-owned spot is cluttered with fascinating bar junk, pours an impressive array of beers and serves meals from its cafeteria-style buffet . Read more
The stick-to-your-ribs hofbrau fare, like hand-carved sandwiches piled high with your choice of meat or classic buffalo stew , make for a perfect pairing with a cold Anchor Steam . Read more
It’s inexpensive , it’s good and it serves both the famous and not-so-famous; and it’s open nearly as late as area bars so it’s a great place for an after-midnight pig-out. Read more
Corned beef is this week's trending taste and there is no better place in the Bay Area than Tommy's. Their huge portions are one of the many reasons they are on our list of Best Corned Beef in SF. Read more
I have been coming here for 65 years. Still great. The building used to stand alone and was striking in its gaudy way. Now it is lost among encroaching buildings.
SF classic. Hofbrau queue. Meat artfully plopped atop your choice of sides (potato salad , cole slaw , bean salad etc). You grab your tray, load up a few free pickles and find your seat. Get beer .
Don't kid yourself, get the brisket - either a meal or sandwich . Get extra BBQ sauce if ordering to go. Cucumber/tomato salad is key. Baked potatoes and the most filling stuffing you've ever had.
Everything's great here, but I'm partial to the corned beef . Everything is sliced right in front of you and bread is always fresh. Don't miss the big barrel of dill pickle chips past the register!
The BBQ brisket was really very good, the au jus is amazing. They slice the meat right in front of you and the sangria was great.
Really enjoy their Turkey sandwich . Went late in the evening, and they had a fresh turkey , which they opened to make a sandwich . They give you a side of au ju sauce to go with the sandwich .
Amazing craft beer selection ! Enjoyed a brisket platter. Cole slaw and potato salad are solid sides. Dont get the bread roll though -- you could kill someone w it if you throw it hard enough
$6 for a sandwich . Walked into this place and saw how they cut the meat in front of you. It's was so good and tender, left me in a good coma. Sandwich is just roll/bread with meat. Ask for cheese
This is an great place. Def not your everyday. The portions are huge, the prices are low, and the food is great. The hard part is deciding what to have.
Best pastrami anywhere, amazing value for money & decent paleo options
Even as a die hard Lefty's fan, I think that Tommy's has my favorite corned beef sandwich in the city . Also, super convenient to grab a bite before heading to AMC 1000 across the street for a flick .
The food was awesome! Great prices especially for the area, most meals under $10! Really good food and awesome bar inside.
Great food served cafeteria style and a bar . Get in line for your food first, find a seat and then order your drinks from the waitress . Awesome. Try the sloppy joe . It's turkey .
Always a nice spot to go. Awesome selection of beers , and nice BBQ food
It’s better to hang out here than the bars in the TL. It’s safer and there’s delicious food.
Hungry? On Geary street? Check this joint out and get the BBQ brisket . Good portions, huge beer selection and bring cash because they don't take credit cards .
Cheap beer , good food, open late — I love everything about this place except for the poster of guy fieri that stares down upon you at the bar
Buffalo stew is the best! Plus they have a great beer selection .
if you're there to eat, you have to fall in line , order your food from the counter, pay, then choose a table. for drinks, go to the bar or order your drink from the waiter/waitress.
Hugh restaurant , so great for groups . So many options and sides, so everyone can have their sandwiches the way they like.
Specials are always good. Also, brisket , lasagna , buffalo chili , and also ways get the three bean salad .
They have a hot cocktail menu ! Great for chilly days! Cash only ! ATM right inside the door with only a $2 service charge.
Great place for food. Pastrami , brisket and meatballs . There will be a line , but it moves quickly.
$6 Pastrami on sourdough , and a $13 pitcher of whatever's on draft (we recommend the full boar whiskey beer ) aka the OG San Francisco treat and a killer date night .
Cool spot! The barbecue beef sandwich was super delicious! A bunch of yummy sides good drinks
BBQ brisket is all you need. Well , and some mashed potatoes and beans on your dinner plate, of course.
Literally everything on their menu is good. Don't be afraid to try everything.
One of my favorites. There is not one fish here that isn't amazing. The bbq brisket plate is my favorite. Dont pass this place up
Come for the brisket ,stay for their beer selection .
Delicious food and super quaint! Very local sort of place. Great drink selection!
Great value for amazing food. Super cozy and casual atmosphere . Cash only !
The pastrami was amazing. Apple pie was just ok (not a fan of cold pie )
Great beer selection and one of the few places around that serves pitchers . Also a nice turn around on seasonal beers #BeerSF
Bbq brisket its the best make sure you get it
Meat bread and beer what else do you want?
If you're craving good old comfort food , in big portions & budget friendly prices, this is your kinda place! As long as you're not too picky about the ambiance nor 5-star restaurant typ'a service.
Hot roast beef sandwiches , open faced turkey sandwiches with mashed potatoes and gravy and one of the best sloppy joe 's I have ever had in my life.
Carved Meats are to die for. Turkey Sloppy Joe without BBQ Sauce (For Me) for less than $5 is awesome at this local legend.
Don't miss the daily specials . Thu is braised lamb which is made in premises and very good.
Extremely classic late night destination. Food you might not eat sober, in a room so dripping with nostalgia you're not worthy. Cash only .
The sandwich bread is a little much, get a platter instead. Brisket is mad decent
Big sandwich with BBQ sauce is really tasty!!!
Food is fantastic and reasonably-priced but I don't understand how anyone can eat as much as they give you!!
Great place to eat before or after going to the movies . So close to AMC Theatres .
Pastrami , Roasted Beef sandwiches are good.
