Get the fried chicken , sub the salad for mashed potatoes , and eat the whole thing with honey and hot sauce . Don’t forget to take your rings off before you chow down. Say hi to Lydia for me.

PureWow

The state of California has a bunch of serious contenders, but the macaroni and drunken Spanish goat cheese at this San Francisco spot is tangy , bubbly perfection. Read more

Fried chicken , sea bass carpaccio , heirloom tomato salad (OMG!), homemade paparadelle, Mac & cheese , fried chicken ... Figure out a way to work this entire lineup into your evening. YUM!

Cawa Bunga

Good quality place, indeed. Hostess was very welcoming and accommodating. Staff is definitely top notch. Tried meatloaf and it lived up to it’s fame. Would add a tad more greens. Thumbs up anyway!

Adrian Phillips

Cost little spot that is beer and wine only. If you're looking for some fried chicken & meatloaf this is a great place to get it. The lamb spam was a really interesting surprise.

Jinnie L

amazing food!! corn soup , fried chicken with kale , mac & cheese ! yummy vegetarian options too! - beet salad with fuyu persimmon & artichoke n leak soup were delicious! try them all♥

John Koch

Appetizer: The farro (larger couscous-like grain) with slow egg and crostini is a savory delight. Great for one (if filling). Might request more crostini when sharing.

Bikash Mishra

Excellent fried chicken and meatloaf , but the surprising winner was the chorizo stuffed grilled octopus ! Excellent service and ambience.

Ali Uro-May

Everything we ordered was delicious. Seasonal menu , but when we went they had butterscotch pudding- one of the best desserts I've ever had.

The mac n cheese is so good the recipe hasn't changed in 13 years. It includes Tabasco , nutmeg , dry mustard , a little worcestershire, and a firm Spanish drunken goat cheese , called Murcia al Vino . Read more

Try the Tomato and peach salad with honey vinaigrette and violet labneh cheese which has the texture of yogurt ($12). Read more

Hutch Jesstastic

Homemade maltagliati with Dungeness crab was to die for. Love watching them prepare the food in the open kitchen - everything looks sooooo good!

Luke White

The food here is comforting and refined, an gem for the prices. The fried chicken , deviled eggs , salads , and pastas are always excellent.

Ben Giannini

The gnocchi with crispy pork belly is fantastic. Be sure to sample one or two of their unusual yet fabulous wines by the glass.

Fried chicken is awesome, very crisp, yet succulent. Deviled eggs also delicious!

While this Mission staple is known for their delicious meatloaf and macaroni , we think the deviled eggs and mashed potatoes are worth a try here. Read more

The space is crowded and a bit loud , but the food was delicious. Definitely try the squid !

Sit at the counter & watch the effort that goes into the plates.

Garden seating and modern comfort food is as heartwarming as the neighborhood .

Andrew Lefkowits

Everything is amazing, but leave room for the chocolate cake dessert and the mac and spanish goat cheese . If it's warm, sit out back and enjoy the fresh air . Read more

Steven Schafer

Mac and cheese is really good. People say it's good for dates - but it's way too loud in here to have a conversation with someone...

M Hansen

Epic meatloaf . Great service and chefs . Perfect.

End with key lime pie . If you're too full for dessert , get it to go.

Order the meatloaf and macaroni - comfort food done right ????????

We used to love this place but either we got tired of it or the quality has decreased a little in recent years. Homestyle American cooking

Neighborhood gem with cute , little and heated patio in the back.
