    Breakfast Burrito (amazing)
    Kate D.

    The breakfast burrito was amazing!! It was loaded with sausage, ham, bacon, cheese and eggs ( I opted out of the hash browns and beans that normally comes in it). The blueberry pancakes were also very good as well as the side of bacon that we got extra crispy. The canned Diet Coke was a little flat, but if that is my biggest complaint of a meal, I consider it a great success!

    Fresh squeezed orange juice.

    What a meal. Free refills on coffee. A plate of pancakes. All at a reasonable rate. The people are cool too. Excellent staff. Must go!

    Eggs and bacon

    Great breakfast with friendly staff. I would definitely come back here. If the hashbrowns were more crispy this place might get a 5 star.

    Polina L.

    We visited this place for breakfast, and when we walked in, I felt like I was in an American movie, the kind where you're traveling across the country by car, stop somewhere for breakfast, and then get back on the road. That vibe was really nice. I ordered coffee. They don't have espresso, only regular black coffee with creamers on the table, which was totally fine for me because I actually liked their coffee. A big plus is that when you buy one cup, they offer free refills. I didn't need a refill, but it still felt very generous and appreciated. I really liked the staff: they were attentive without being pushy. There was no pressure to rush, and the atmosphere was welcoming, calm, and simple. It felt relaxed and comfortable. The reason I'm giving four stars instead of five is that, while everything was good, it just wasn't memorable enough for us to come back. The food was fine, but not especially delicious. I ordered their hash browns, which are a signature dish. I love hash browns and expected them to be extra crispy, but unfortunately, they were softer than I'm used to. My husband ordered scrambled eggs with lots of vegetables and hash browns on the side. He felt the same way about the hash browns, not crunchy enough for his taste. The scrambled eggs were filling and good, but again, nothing particularly memorable. Overall, it's still a nice place to visit at least once, especially if you live nearby. It's affordable, we paid about $40 for everything, which felt great since breakfast usually costs us almost twice that. For the price, atmosphere, and service, it's a solid spot, just not one we'd personally return to!

    Receipt

    $25 on breakfast ... NO toast ? I've never been to a breakfast spot where I didn't receive toast with my breakfast... you have to pay extra for toast and jelly I should've just took My ssa to B&Js instead of tryna Be fancy & step outside the box.. never again TIFF if you wanna spend some money come to Tiffany's

    Chick'n Egg Benedict
    Jocelyn L.

    We got two different eggs benedicts: San Bruno Florentine and Chicken n Egg. The San Bruno Florentine included spinach, mushroom, a sausage patty, poached egg with sauce, cheese on an english muffin. Loved this. It was so delicious. The Chicken n Egg was a poached egg with sauce, fried chicken, and cheese on an english muffin. This was okay. The chicken was too dry for my liking. Tater tots and fries were as expected. The restaurant is small but super cute, with lots of Portola Neighborhood decor. The service was great. Waitress was kind and attentive. Food was made to order and the time to receive the food reflected that.

    Veggie omelette - just okay
    Tiffany A.

    As a Tiffany myself, I knew I had to at least try this place! The coffee was more like "coffee tea" rather than pure coffee. I got the veggie omelette with sourdough toast and I asked for no cheese. Unfortunately my omelette came with cheese and the sourdough was not very sour at all- it just tasted like white bread. Quite sad indeed. I don't really like sending items back unless it's really that bad and I could manage to pick around the cheese. Still disappointing

    Biscuits and gravy not enough gravy but Biscuits are delicious. Eggs and bacon, eggs cooked to perfection
    Danny G.

    Food was delicious, hearty portions and fresh. Service was excellent and waiter was knowledgeable and fast.The ambiance is good friendly clean and overall very satisfying. 10 out of 10. Very fair prices for the quality of the food! On my personal opinion there is not enough gravy for me!

    April's Sunrise Special
    Wilby P.

    I came here on a whim and was so pleasantly surprised by how cozy, clean, and comforting this place is. I came right at opening and customer service was so incredibly kind and attentive. The food was delicious. The orange juice was really good. Not too sweet and didn't feel unhealthy or sugary! They have a machine that squeezes the oranges fresh. The pancakes are an incredible texture. The strawberries were slightly sweet and very fresh. The eggs and country fried steak were delicious. The portion was bigger than I expected for a special and needed a box to take home! It is a great deal for what it is. I can't wait to take my friends back here.

    Guys did a great job serving us, food was really filling and delicious. Ordered two different Benedicts and they come in 3! One thing i would say is they should have alternatives like oatmilk/soy/almond for milkshakes otherwise the fresh oj is good.

    Trio Benedict
    Cory D.

    This place was AMAZING! Very STRONG customer service, great food, and a bit of parking (rare in SF). They worked hard to make food fresh and avoid my allergies. It tasted really good! Fresh! Very kind and helpful, getting me artificial sugar I wanted. They gave me good recommendations, great coffee. Like, really good! Let me sit at a big table as I didn't want to chat at counter. Changed my grumpy morning into a happy one. My family is likely appreciative too!

    Chocolate milk.
    Dan Mark D.

    Pretty good neighborhood diner. The food is pretty tasty. The service is very nice. I had my Chick'n Egg Benedict with tater tots. The tots were crunchy. The meal made my stomach really full. The chocolate milk is pretty simple. It had some drizzled chocolate syrup with milk in it and a whip cream. Coffee is unlimited. Overall, it is pretty good.

    Trio Benedict
    Dan Asher D.

    The place itself is semi crowded but still pretty quiet, and I do like the classic diner style ambiance. It feels comfortable and familiar, which is what drew me in. The menu has a lot of classic American breakfast options, which sounded great. I ordered the trio eggs benedict and asked for extra crispy hash browns, but unfortunately the hash browns came out barely cooked and borderline raw. My bacon never came out at all, which was disappointing. On top of that, the food took a really long time to arrive. It seemed like they were overwhelmed with delivery orders, which is probably why everything felt slow. On the positive side, the waitresses were fast, attentive, and kept the place clean. Service itself wasn't the issue, it was more the kitchen timing and missed items. Overall, I like the vibe and the staff, but the food execution and long wait really took away from the experience.

The atmosphere really stands out, with a cool 50s theme that makes the whole experience feel unique and memorable. The burger was the highlight of the meal--juicy, flavorful, and cooked just right.

The orange juice, however, was amazing definitely fresh and one of the highlights of the meal. The service was good. The staff was friendly and consistently checking in, which I appreciated. Unfortunately, what really turned me off was what I witnessed regarding food handling. I saw staff members come back from bussing tables and go straight to handling bread and putting it into the toaster without washing their hands or putting on gloves. Watching someone go from handling dirty dishes to preparing food without washing their hands was extremely unsanitary and honestly disgusting. That completely changed my impression of the restaurant. The price was also outrageous for what I received. My corned beef hash, orange juice, and a $6.50 tip came out to around $43 for one person. I just don't feel the food and overall experience were worth that price. The good: great freshly squeezed orange juice and attentive service. The bad: questionable food handling practices and very high prices. Unfortunately, I won't be returning.

Wandering around San Francisco you will see what the new America has built which is prosperity as a country of immigrants from all around the world. One thing I enjoy is diversity but also unity among fellow Americans. There is a love and dislike relationship among Americans towards the United States. It is like bad mouthing and a dislike towards a family member or a lover at times when in the end they will still reunite and still have love for one another. Nothing shows the United States uniting with others like the World Cup soccer. The world shows its appreciation towards American food. Nothing is more American in the world as Burger and fries. There is a place which been serving the American classics like cheese burger and fries in SF for almost 80 years along with milkshakes and it's called Mel's Drive-In. Walking on Geary Boulevard in San Francisco I saw a rare site these days . I saw a big United States flag waving in the sky and the sun shining on it in front of a restaurant. Then I saw over ten American flags in front of the restaurant. It seemed like I went back in time. Inside it's an old school diner with jukeboxes and pictures of George Lucas directing the movie American Graffiti. Mel's Drive-In started 80 years on South Van Ness Avenue in San Francisco. I was in the mood for an American meal and I got Mel's Burger with fries . The burger was tasty and a bit cheesy and the fries were not too salty like some in SF. I got the butterscotch milkshake and it was tasty with a cherry on top. A great place to get a taste of Americana. San Francisco is the city In was born and still "dwell" a place for protest you can hear the screams and see those who "yell " but it's the freedom of speech from the Golden Bridge to the "Freedom Bell" like you have the freedom you get a cheeseburger and a milkshake with the cherry on top at a drive -in named "Mel" Nothing is more American than a milkshake , cheeseburger, and "fries"while watching the flag wave on Geary Boulevard in the sun in clear blue "skies" some in this country who are proud are looked upon as "Americanize"but I look at each other with the lens of unity and freedom with my own "American eyes "

    I want to drop Mel's at least a star, but I gave it two stars when I first reviewed it, and it…read morewould be dishonest of me to pretend that it has remained at two stars all these years, because I've come here occasionally in the intervening years and have mostly enjoyed myself. So it might have rated three stars before this past April. What happened in April? Well, I don't know whether it actually occurred in April, but in April, I noticed that Mel's very prominently advertises on its menu that it fries its fried foods in beef tallow. That means I can't eat French fries or onion rings from here, because they're needlessly not vegetarian. And while I'm not the most healthy person out there, I do notice when things probably aren't vegetarian. In short, I'm pretty sure this is a change, because I would have noticed this a long time ago and ordered accordingly. So why did Mel's make this change? Probably because its owners are MAHA people, and RFJ, Jr., and a bunch of other clueless people believe that seed oils are deadly. But even if you believe seed oils are deadly, there are other non-seed oils that aren't sourced from dead animals. I only noticed because it's printed on the menu, so it's not like Mel's is trying to hide this change--on the contrary, I think they really believe using beef tallow is a selling point. Except that there are expressly vegetarian items on the menu, including a veggie burger. Non-beef fries aren't even an option? Really? I must issue a GRATUITOUS MEAT ALERT. Other things annoy me about Mel's too. It's not open late enough. They do that stupid thing where they charge you a hidden fee to pay either their workers' salaries or for their health insurance. A Bunch of SF restaurants do this same thing; it's false advertising, and it should be illegal. Build the cost of doing business into your actual prices. It's not as if the restaurant is paying these fees; we customers are. Finally, the service has been atrocious the last two times I came here. If you don't have enough servers to offer good service, do not seat people. That's the time-tested solution. Seating people without enough help just makes everyone angry. This isn't a one-star review, because Mel's is useful in a late-night bind and has a parking lot. If more places in San Francisco were open late or at least until ten p.m., Mel's would probably only warrant one star. Still, I can't see coming here anytime soon, especially after such recent bad service. It's also really expensive, even pre-hidden fee.

But this is Yelp, man; you can do whatever you want as long as you're reviewing honestly and not getting quid-pro-quoed to do so. I know Mel's Drive-In. One of this Mel's Drive-In's selling points when I came here late at night recently was that it was open. Another was that it had a parking lot. Check to both, but with some grains of salt. THE PARKING SITUATION Yes, it has parking. But beware! It's one-way for some ridiculous reason, and the only legal way to enter is from Lombard Street. That's right; although the parking lot is attached to Lombard, Steiner, and Moulton Streets, you're only legally allowed to enter from Lombard Street, which is a huge busy street that's difficult, if not illegal, to make U-turns on. If anything, you should be forced to exit onto Lombard and be allowed to enter at or exit from either Steiner or Moulton, but nope, you'll be breaking the law to do what's convenient to both you and most other drivers. Great work, Mel's. THE INTERIOR It's weird. And small. And crowded. The bathrooms are kinda gross. Fifties diners make me think of comfortable booths. I know that Mel's is a '40s drive-in--supposedly--not a '50s diner, but booths are booths. Why aren't they more of them, and why is that weird seating area right in the middle of the restaurant? THE FOOD If you can call it that. I had the worst restaurant omelette I've ever had in my life. It was supposed to have veggies and cheese. Instead of being inside the omelette, all the veggies were underneath it, as in the cook put veggies on my plate, and then he put the cheesy omelette on top of it. My dad ordered the same thing, and his came out the same stupid way. THE SERVICE Friendly, but impossible to flag down. They have a lot of people working, but only your person can help you with your problem, even if it's an any-person problem like needing more napkins or salt. It also took forever for our food to come out. We could see and hear the cooks having a grand old time in the kitchen, and the servers were bringing things out to people, but our meal was awkward, because my niece's plate came out four minutes before my mom's, which came out seven minutes before my dad's and mine. I still kind of like the Mel's on Geary. Maybe that's just for nostalgia reasons, but I will say that I've never had poor service there, and the food is generally good. This Mel's, on the other hand, was a joke. I was embarrassed to bring people here, even if they were my seventeen-year-old niece and my parents. (My niece had been here before with her friends late at night, that little social butterfly.) I didn't pay, but I saw the bill. It's just as expensive (which means too expensive) as its Geary Boulevard location, but with way less value.

I've been coming here for over 30 years, but I know this place has probably been there for at least that long before I made my way through its doors! We all ordered slim plates, which is a nice option, as the provide lighter meals for a lower price. For $14.50 I got Prime Rib (I think they call it round steak), mashed potatoes, a salad, a roll, and a side of beans. They offer a wide range of other options, including rotating nighttly specials. The guys at the counter are awesome, and are eager to serve you up a tasty plate, just how you want it! Everything is perfectly serviceable. Drinks are available on the other side of the room, and they have a great selection of beer and liquor (and I expect wines as well). I had a Ukrainian beer with my steak, and it hit the spot! Service at the bar is also quite good. I didn't have an Irish Coffee, since they didn't have fresh coffee made and we were in a bit of a time crunch, but I recall those being a treat as well. Huge helpings of tasty food at a reasonable price, and service with a smile makes this a heartwarming bit of San Francisco's classic dining. Give them a try for food, or just come in and have a drink - folks around here seem to be friendlier than most - maybe it's just getting good food at a great price!

Inside you will feel the nostalgia as you will see tables and booths and also an ice cream bar which serves ice cream sundaes with a cherry on top and classic milkshakes. I got the vanilla milkshake and it was tasty and a bit sweet. I then had to try the buttermilk pancakes. It was savory and buttery and the syrup made all delicious. This store also has some nostalgia selling trading cards like the garbage pail kids in SF. Overall a good vintage classic soda fountain in SF. Come here once you are "awake"where they "make" a delicious buttermilk "pancake"and you can wash it down with a strawberry or vanilla "milkshake" Come get the pancake after it's made with a delicious "batter"and get a breakfast or lunch "platter "and enjoy a good yap another words a good "chatter "at a place in SF where for over 100 years the Mission neighborhood still "gather"

    St Francis Fountain is a legacy business, the oldest on 24th street, and there's a reason why…read morethey've been around serving up some of the best diner food in SF since 1918!!! I stopped by for breakfast early on Saturday. There's the main restaurant with tables and bar seating, and they have the restaurant space next door with even more tables. Apparently at peak brunch time, the whole space is packed even the outdoor seating. The whole time our service was fantastic, it wasn't super busy so they were also able to give us a little history about Saint Francis fountain and the building. The space has that classic diner decor, fresh pothos cuttings at every table, I felt the good energy. The coffee was good, no frills diner coffee. We ordered the chef's mess side of banana bread (the warm it up straight on the grill), biscuits and gravy with poached eggs, and the sourdough French toast with banana walnut topping. Was this too much food for two people? Of course. When you look at this incredible menu, good luck choosing only 1 thing! The food came out hot and very big portions. The biscuits and gravy were perfect. The gravy was creamy with nice size chunks of sausages, cooked so well, sausage wasn't overcooked. The biscuits were so soft, buttery. The home style spuds were seasoned really well, paired really well with my eggs and biscuits and gravy. I was so happy. The sourdough French toast was so good. The fresh banana topping with walnut and a little butter in one bite, wow!! It was also done so well, sourdough wasn't mushy at all. My partner enjoyed their chef's mess. It was seasoned well, cooked well, and the mushrooms in it were great! Overall, this is a very memorable breakfast for me. I can't wait to go back to try more on the menu. They had so many good options in the quality of food was fantastic. I think this is generally one of my favorite spots in the city for a classic diner breakfast.

    Food is EXCELLENT. Staff is very friendly, welcoming, and appreciative. Ambiance is what you would…read moreexpect of a tight (stool seating along countertop) and often crowded diner. It can be very busy at times as it is (1) very popular with regulars, and (2) no longer a secret 'hidden gem'. The outdoor sidewalk (parklet) seating helps accommodate customers on their busy days. I've eaten here countless times, and I always leave VERY satisfied.

    Well, it's been over 18 years since my first and last review of Art's Cafe. I'm sure I've changed…read moremore than this longstanding diner has. No, I haven't had cosmetic surgery, but thank you for asking. I've just been trying to eat with a little more discrimination in both my palate and my diet, but sometimes I like to indulge myself with a few extra calories my body is more than willing to accept begrudgingly. Quite reassuring to see the set-up never changes here. It's still the same 14-stool counter in the same hallway-size space. I came in on a weekday about a half-hour before closing. There was only one customer at the far end of the counter and now me. After 30 years, the original owners retired during the pandemic, and the current owners had taken the reins without skipping a beat. They're still serving the same combination of classic American diner fare and traditional Korean staples. Previously, my penchant for greasy spoons left me in a state of American isolationism. For example, a while ago, I had the $16.55 Tuna Melt on toasted sourdough with lettuce, tomato, onions, pickles, and cheese. It truly hit the spot with a pile of krinkle fries thrown in for good measure (Photo 9). This time for the first time, I went fusion and finally ordered their signature $17.75 Hash Brown Sandwich with Dakgogi (Chicken).and Shredded Cheddar Cheese. It was a satisfying exercise in gluttony, for sure, with two eggs sunnyside-up and sourdough toast (Photo 10). I thought I wouldn't finish it. I thought wrong. Besides, it was a treat watching Young (the wife) cook it in front of me on the sizzling grill. FOOD - 4 stars...hash brown or not to hash brown, that is the question AMBIANCE - 3.5 stars...dependably dependable diner SERVICE - 4.5 stars...mighty quick and friendly TOTAL - 4 stars...still the same greasy spoon from days of yore RELATED - Exploring the Sunset?
