Typical American diner and the best 24 hour restaurant in SF. I've only ever been between 2am and 8am. It's awesome people watching and good food. Also, old school SF. ;)

SFist

It's the only 24-hour diner in the Castro, and they do a pretty decent burger , as well as breakfast all night long. Also, Playboy once named it among the Top 10 Late-Night Diners in the country . Read more

Greg Price

Chocolate chip pancakes are good. The secret to making the pancakes great: BYO real maple syrup .

sabler

Great 24 hour coffee shop/diner in the heart of the Castro. It gets packed late at night, but it's worth the wait for the pancakes .

Kyle Minor

Breakfast for dinner is a must unless you must have a Patty Melt … just DO NOT MISS the amazing Hawaiian Wedding Cake ! Thank me later!

SFist

Tthis Castro mainstay is where to go for a griddle-greasy patty melt or a chicken fried steak after dancing all night at Badlands or Beaux. Read more

WhiskyAvenger

Thee best place for a late night burger in SF.

Genevieve Gerst

This is where you go after the party when you're drunk & starving. ...or if you want to have the BEST TUNA MELT EVER. Tip your waiter , drunky.

Pamela Gocobachi

Wonderful little hole in the wall diner -- great for a late night bite! Fast service , good food, AND they have the sweetest wait staff !

Fred Stevens-Smith

I love this place. Sassy service, open 24h, standard solid American diner fare. Don't be a schmuck like my friend and order anything not 'breakfasty'.

Alicia Hansen

Mmm. Sloppy Joe 's after playing was great! We got there at about 1am so we beat the line .

Fredo Alvarez

Never had bad food here. I enjoy the omelettes in particular, and they're available all day.

Alex Dobyan

Classic diner with enormous portions . I loved my Monte Cristo .

MetroWize

Orphan Andy’s is a late night favorite among San Francisco late-nighters. Between their chicken fried steak and the chocolate chip banana pancakes , you can’t go wrong. Read more

Henry Williams

Sit at the bar and watch the magic happens Nate flashes you a smile and your food in no time flat. I'd come just for him if the food weren't just as great. Come hungry.

Johan Ring

Great omelette

Kelly Strodl

not always the best food, but the environment is a hoot, and it's worth a visit at least once to take in the view of the Castro, if you sit at one of the two front booths , or just talk it up with one Read more

Randy Moore

love it for being an ICON of the castro, the food is always the same ,and the staff is a HOOT i love them

Solario

In a city seriously lacking late night options , Ophan Andy's is essential.

Kian Lavi

simply an sf institution. don’t expect quick service or amazing food. just come at 3am, shut up, and sink in

Jordan Niebur

If you're visiting, I guess it's recommended you visit here once. But I'd recommend just huffing it a few blocks to Sparky's for your late night diner-ing.

Alexander Sarmiento

I haven't been here in a while, but I always enjoy myself here. It's great that it's open 24 hours ; outside of some chain restaurants , you don't find anything like that in San Francisco.

Joseph Kristoffer

The chicken and cakes are the stuff of legend. Split with a buddy, though. The portion is massive! Nothin' wrong with that.

Joseph Gonzalez

Amazing food and amazing wifi ! Open 24 hours :)

blake drummond

Great breakfast ! Michael is SUCH a sweetheart and his hospitality was so appreciated... We will be back!

char zvolanek

Counter seating means great serendipitous meetings. At 2am everything tastes great.

Kyle Minor

Try the Coconut Cake - I'm dead now this is so good. DEAD I TELL YOU (via @Foodspotting)

Minjae Lee

breakfast food all day. love the kitschy atmosphere too.

Steven H

Tried so hard to like the place. The history. Open all night. Fun staff . But... The food quality is just garbage. Food quality in SF can be so high (both expensive and divey!). OA is not good enough

Natalie M

Good late night food in the Castro. Very fast and good service .

Tom Jackson

A great diner in the heart of the Castro that is always open

Jeff Weinstein

Don't stray too far from pancakes . Go just before the bars let out.

Dwight L

I always come here for the pancakes . I don't know how they make them but they're magical. The best pancakes in SF

Jonathan Arnold

Great food, drunk or not. Two best things: biscuits & gravy and Shane!

Aaron Draczynski

Breakfast served all day! Tasty orange juice , fresh-squeezed and full of pulp.

Alessandro Pinna

Breakfast ! 24/7. Banana and chocolate pancakes are great.

Billy Lenihan

Bring pepper spray. If the meth-y waiter is having a bad day he might threaten you with silverware.

Humberto Martinez

I love this place. Great place to end a long night or randomly meet people at the bar at breakfast/brunch time.

Patrick Finley (@pjfinley)

Great spot to grab some breakfast , at any time!

E F

We love a classic diner . 24/7! Yes please.

Elizabeth Welk

The best food I have had in SF so far and the staff is very friendly and welcoming

Chinarut Ruangchotvit

country-fried steak made to perfection! ????

Kirill Atamanov

extremely friendly host and very long menu

Matt Williams

STRICT recommendation: Try the BBQ Pork Omelette . You WON'T be disappointed. ;-)

Biblio Butch

A Homobiles favorite! Call or text us for a ride to Orphan Andy's or home after a stack of pancakes 415-574-5023

Johan Ring

Lovely omelette !

Steve Dardarian

Loved the 7AM drug induced nod-off's snoring in front of their chicken-fried steaks . Reminded me of Greg Allman & Cher! Hahaha....

Arié Moyal

Really like the vibe and the food is good too :)

Alexis McGee

Good food, quick service , and for a good price...the trifecta of winning!!

Sherilynn Macale

Mmm! Everything is amazing and the food is great! They always have fresh flowers in the vases too.
