Good, prices, food were awesome. The servers were two boys doing the best. And they have quince jam . Late night , good food.

SFist

This stalwart diner just off Polk Street serves until 4 a.m., and is well known as a pre-hangover, pre-sleep, drunk-eating spot. We'd say it's still a solid bet for the greasiest of hangover remedies. Read more

Eater

Many a potential hangover has been staved off with a bowl of the Caldo Verde. Fans shouldn't wait, since the fate of the building rests in the hands of new owners (with possible development plans). Read more

Had the Portuguese bacalhau and it was delicious! Cool spot cool music

Wonderful fake grapes on the ceiling & tasty late night food without fluorescent hell lights. Try the baccalao, the nugget burger & their homemade hot sauce . Order to go if the 2am wait is too long.

I like the atmosphere.. good nugget burger n Portuguese pork chop :) service was little slow but friendly enough~ goos for late dining ~ I will come back for more ;P

Amy B

THE late night place to eat. Food is solid. If you're in a snack mood you won't be disappointed by the mozzarella sticks or jalapeño poppers . Quick service !

Eater

Rare means rare at Grubstake, and most people love this burger after a long night of cocktails and beer . Read more

Cesar Tamondong

Their blueberry cheesecake is one of their best desserts !!! If you see it on the menu board, order it since it may be weeks or a full quarter before its back on the menu!

Audrey BRUISSON

Perfect place to grab some food after a long night partying in the city ! The burger options will satisfy your starving belly!

WhiskyAvenger

Great for post bar fatty food consumption so you can keep the party going.

Badger Badger

Decent burgers that fill that late night hole. Good beer selection . Charming retro feeling inside. Always get a table

Lane Rettig

First time I've ever seen a velvet rope at a diner . Attitude got way better on the inside though. Friendly staff and ten bucks for a legit burger . Without fries . Those cost more. Don't ask.

Constanza Coronel

They have Portuguese food on the menu, and even great choices for breakfast . Plus the place its dope!

Hugo Bernardo

The only spot where you can find Portuguese food in the city , and it's open until 4am. Super bock and bacalhau !

Peter Downs

Get the breakfast special ! Eggs , French toast , sausage , don't forget the home fries !

Aldo Grreybear

We love the Grub! If you [out-of-towners] think the prices are a bit high, wait till you see how much food you're getting for the money.

Karsten

Great burgers , onion rings , potato skins . If you're craving perfectly greasy food, this is your place

Lawrence Wang

The bacalhau cozido com todos (baked cod with veggies ) is a pretty healthy alternative to the usual diner fare .

Matt Hiltachk

They put chicken tenders on the Specials list; that's how many f**** this place doesn't give. Awesome diner .

Jon Hall

Check the board for specials and make sure you leave room if you order dessert : the 'a la mode' scoops are massive.

The Bold Italic

The food is excellent and the service is gruff but friendly . A great spot for super late dining , make sure to stop in between 2 and 4 am at least once.

Sara Taylor

Solid veggie burger - definitely recommend. Also has an extensive beer selection .

Cesar Tamondong

Look out for their blueberry cheesecake ! When it's on the menu, pass the word (or not if you want to save yourself a slice)!

Rob Ray

What's not to love. Super late night eats, they put up with your drunk ass, and the food's not bad at all. Shut up and give them your money!

Nuno Silvestre

As a Portuguese cooker I can tell that the food is good but a little different that the original recipes . Anyway, is a place to go and where I can drink a "Sagres" beer !

X

Ask for a "veggie omelet " and you'll get a special mix of whatever vegetables are fresh that day. It's always good and keeps you eating a variety of foodstuffs!

Dayle H

Chkn Sand is worth finishing!! w/ sweet potato fries ...

Jennifer Ormerod

Ask for the house-made hot sauce for that burger ! After your meal, buy a bottle to go.

Kian Lavi

Amazing for a 24 hour diner . Get a milkshake with your fries

Tom Graham

Good steaks . Delicious entrees. Awesome shakes .

Dayle H

Sean at the bar is an amazing human! Humanity and Compassion - say hello!

Santiago Duarte

Nice dinner in SF. They have good burgers and buffalo wings .

Paul Maddison

Awesome cheap US food, with Portuguese beer (shame :-) )

Ben Coffee

You gotta try this place at least once. Seating is kind of close together cause the place is small.

Aaron Pollock

Great for a late night snack - they are open until 4 AM!

Vincent Lowe

Ask for the Black Bean Soup . It's a classic and it's done just right!

Kevin Van Ness

If you're looking for breakfast , the Mountain Man breakfast is very good. Sour Dough toast is an option with it!

Erica J. Simpson

Still great after all these years. The staff is wonderful.

Vince Viloria

Give your burger some extra kick, order a side of their potato salad and throw some in.

Melissa Wallace

Fave late night spot for bacon and fries !

Nigel Phillips

The Rock Cod special was tasty. Came with veggies & rice .

Jake Smith

Pancakes are amazing. I liked mine with the freshly brewed iced tea .

Vince Viloria

Nugget burger is awesome, cooked at least medium or it soaks through the bun . Not cash only anymore!

Viv

Mozzarella sticks ! Open 24 hours ! Postmates delivery !

Dayle H

Word from Jimmy the new owner, they are expanding soon, stay tuned

Casey Hogan

Mocha milkshake . Do it. Best thing ever.

mikey ruiz

Order the Nugget, it will change your life. And if your out for a late night , be sure to save some cash for dinner . They don't take card.
