Killing some time before dinner, stopped in for Happy hour at this supposedly legendary place…read more From ths outside, it didnt look like much, in fact it had Dive written all over it. I was pleasantly suprised walking in, as I was greeted with a Warm, cozy rusticly decorated place full of charm . Immediately through the door to the right was a hof-brau manned by a gentleman ready to serve up whatever culinary delight you wanted to try. The place was peppered with tables, occupied by what appeared to be a heavy presence of regulars. Took a spot at the bar, and ordered a beer and a shot while my sister got a manhatten. Prices for happy hour were well within reason and the pour for the bourbon was quite generous. The barkeep was gregarious and engaging . I want to go back for sure and try the hof-brau. It gave me a similar vibe like the old sams in sacramento.

A San Francisco classic!…read more Had the pleasure to be in the neighborhood looking for a bite, and got quick nods of agreement when I suggested we hit Tommy's Joynt! 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!

Located on the second floor of the old building. I was hungry and when I found out that there was a…read morecafeteria I decided to check it out. After COVID, it's only take out. They are open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Menu changes daily. Make sure to check the hours of operation. I went on a Wednesday for dinner and they had Mongolian beef or veggies with tofu. The sides that were available were jasmine rice or string beans. I chose the Mongolian beef for 3.75$, tofu veggie for 2.75$ and veggie sides for 1.xx$ the taste was decent for hospital cafeteria food. Exceeded my expectation. I will go back for lunch and breakfast to see what they offer. In my opinion, it's good value when you are stuck at the hospital.

Each of the 40-some bites was made with precision and care , and with so many plates in the 2.5 hour meal, you're never bored and definitely will be super full so come with an empty stomach. This was our second time at Merchant Roots but the first was in 2019 when they first opened, so really glad to see their lovely new space and how dedicated they are to the experience. They only take 12 guests per seating so you feel very welcome and special. Highly recommend!

We were using the BART for most of our public transportation on our recent vacation in San Francisco (based in Daly City for the week at an amazing AirBnB). The Westfield Centre is at an extremely convenient location when using BART. Just get off BART at Powell Street and walk up and right into the mall and this amazing Food Emporium is right there. There are SO many wonderful choices. It was so hard to choose. It isn't a simple collection of fast food types of food. These are places you really want to go to: Lobster Me, Hot Spud, Korean Barbecue, Ghirardelli, Bazille, Fire of Brazil, Loving Hut Vegan Cuisine, Sarku Japan, Pressed Juicery, and so many more!

They have a good assortment of grill sandwiches.I got the BLT on Multigrain bread ($5.99) several times during the 9 days my husband was in the hospital. It was so yummy. The last day I got it with added avocado. There wasn't much avocado but the bacon layer was a good 3/4 inch thick. Lots of bacon! Yum. You can get the sandwiches as a meal w/fries, too. They have cold sandwiches, assortment of salads (I had a chef salad one day which was very generous with the deli Turkey & ham and the strips of two types of cheese plus a whole boiled egg for $8.99), cut fruits, simple pudding & parfaits desserts, and drinks in the self serve refrigerators & in the vending refrigerators. They have only two hot entrees but often also two soups or stew. The first day I went they had a Guinness stew which both my daughters really liked. Facility was very clean with hand sanitizer dispensers mounted on the wall. Lots of napkins, condiments, cutlery in the self serve station. Prices are reasonable. Be sure to check hours since they close early on some days.

The set-up is confusing. Staff is busy working at different stations. Am I ordering from them, is there a dedicated area for that? I got the poke bowl with shrimp. The shrimp had been sitting in a garlic or lemongrass broth but instead of imparting flavor, the shrimp was mealy and unappetizingly mushy. I got all the fixin's so I picked at the shrimp and ate the seaweed and some rice and put it aside. They have vegan and vegetarian options as well as pizzas and burgers though with fit 'n' trim medical staff conspicuously ordering brown rice, vegetables and tofu you might feel the eyes of judgment on you. If you want a break to sip some tea undisturbed while watching the world go by or grab something healthy to eat, you can find it at this cafe that is gently priced despite its convenience inside the hospital. 2.10 for the poke bowl (don't leave shrimp soaking in water, they get mushy) 3.15 for the behind the grill/station staff, they are kind but disorganized 4.25 for a beautiful, airy restaurant and understatedly solicitous staff

The staff were friendly and kept things moving smoothly, adding to the overall experience.
