    wicked eggs benedict
    Lillian Z.

    Great food, ordered the wicked chicken Benedict. The eggs were poached with a perfectly runny yolk. Fried chicken was crispy yet juicy and flavorful. Service was quick and efficient. Outdoor patio was a great seating option for a sunny day.

    The food and drinks were awesome! I loved getting this little platter because I got to taste the chicken, eggs, potatoes, and waffles and everything was perfect! The chicken had so much flavor and the waffle was so fluffy and perfect with butter! Unfortunately, the service did not match the quality of the food.

    Fatima's Shakshuka, Fried Chicken Benedict

    Came here for brunch and was pleasantly surprised by how filling and quick everything was. It's pretty small inside but they also offer outdoor seating. We ordered the fried chicken benedict and shakshuka. The fried chicken benedict was really good and came with a generous amount of hollandaise and hot sauce. The hot sauce added a nice kick without being too spicy. It also comes with a side of potatoes, which were super filling and made the meal feel like a lot of food. The shakshuka was also solid and comes with a huge side of hummus and pita. You can ask for a refill on the pita if you need more, which was nice because there was plenty of sauce to scoop up. Overall, good portions and a satisfying brunch spot if you're in the Marina. Would definitely come back to try some of their other brunch options.

    Side of Golden crisp potatoes
    Jeremy L.

    I recently visited Cracked & Battered for brunch and tried the chicken and waffles along with the chicken tacos. The chicken and waffles were the highlight of the meal--crispy, flavorful, and paired perfectly with the waffles. The chicken tacos were also enjoyable and packed with good flavor. The restaurant has a simple, casual atmosphere that keeps the focus on the food. While the meal itself was satisfying, I was disappointed with the service. The staff did not come across as particularly friendly or welcoming, which took away from the overall experience. Overall, the food was definitely the strong point of the visit, especially the chicken and waffles. If you're looking for a tasty brunch spot, it's worth trying, though the service could use some improvement.

    This is hands down the best brunch I've ever had and I'm so sad I don't live close. We were seated quickly even though it was busy- it's not a huge restaurant but it still didn't feel cramped which we appreciated. We tried the breakfast burrito and the sampler. One person in our party deemed these the best potatoes they've had. Everything here was a hit and you got quite a bit of food for the price. Highly highly recommend.

    We have been to this location many times and it just keeps getting better! We love the CB Plate. It has everything you need-- chicken and waffles, eggs and potatoes!! Get their fresh squeezed orange juice! It was delicious. It get busy so come early! I've said this before but please open for dinner!!!!!!!

    Fried Chicken Benedict

    First off, holy portions. When we came here, we hadn't eaten anything all morning and were going to be busy traveling all day so we needed something that'd fill us up until 4pm at least (got there at 9:30am). These needs were more than sufficiently met. As for service, they were super quick, we were sat within seconds, then you order & pay via QR code at your table, and then food came out within 10 minutes after placing the order, so super quick turnaround for ordering yourself. Staff are sure to tend to you throughout your meal, checking on refills and any needs. Smooth order process, friendly staff, and great food.

    C&B Plate
    Andrew Y.

    Absolutely delicious meal. Restaurant has indoor and outdoor seating. You can scan a QR code to order and pay right from your phone which is convenient. Service was fast even when all the tables were full I ordered the C&B plate, which is $22 without taxes or tip. The chicken was fried nicely and was quite juicy, definitely not dry at all (I think they use boneless thigh meat). Waffles were fluffy and paired nicely with the syrup and butter. You can order the eggs scrambled, over medium, or over hard. I went with over medium and it had a nicely flowy yolk. The potatoes really stood out to me because they were crispy on the outside and still fluffy on the inside. I've had experiences at other places where the potatoes become soggy, but not at this place. And they were seasoned perfectly Overall, I'd rate this meal an 8.5/10. Pretty on par pricing for the Bay Area/SF for a delicious and filling meal. Would definitely come back and try more items

    Latte
    Luke W.

    No bacon! But you probably figured that out, it's a nice clean atmosphere, us five guys ran in and plopped down for morning protein before redwoods. Got great service, decent menu, I only needed coffee and ditched for down the block my friend discovering his latte here wasn't worth it unless all other options closed. Chicken and waffles, eggs, pancakes, and no complaints; they finished I quickly hardly a crumb left by time I returned with a coffee. Prices are the usual city, double what we are used to in Indiana but eggs are a rare commodity in Cali!

    Doretta W.

    Small space off Chestnut. They do turn over tables fast. The waitress was nice and helpful. I went for peppermint tea and the spinach-onion-feta omelette. The omelette was stuffed with fillings and was super tasty. The plate came with an orange and english muffin. A few notes .. the spinach would have been better if it was chopped before it was wilted. The loose leaf tea was $9 .. ouch!!!! I am also so done with QR code menus.

    Breakfast Burrito

    The food and service are both 10 out of 10. Best halal breakfast in town. We visited from LA for Labor Day and got the chicken burrito. We went in person one day, i told the owner we will come back tomorrow. We ended up just getting Uber Eats the next day cause of our new born but even delivered food tasted amazing. Exceptional halal food better than any halal breakfast I have had in LA or Houston.

    C&B Plate
    Melissa G.

    We visited Cracked & Battered on a Thursday around 12:30 PM, and when we arrived there were a lot of people waiting outside. Once we got on the waitlist, the estimate was about 30 minutes. While we waited, we walked around and did a little shopping since there are some cute stores nearby. We came back about five minutes before our wait time was up and were seated within the next 10 minutes. The owner is super friendly and funny -- he really made us feel welcomed right away. It's also really easy to order here. Once you sit down, there's a QR code at the table where you can order and even pay ahead of time, and the food is brought straight out to you. Before we even asked, two waters were already placed at our table, which was such a plus. The inside is pretty small and can feel a little cramped depending on where you sit, but honestly the vibe and the food make up for it. Our food also came out very quickly. There was a small mix-up with my eggs -- I ordered scrambled and got over-medium -- but they fixed it right away and even let me keep both, which I really appreciated. We ordered the C&B plate and it was SO good. The chicken was super tender and easy to cut. The waffles were the perfect bite-size (though I still cut them in half), the strawberries were fresh, the potatoes were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and my eggs were cooked perfectly. It really felt like the perfect breakfast plate. I also got an iced coffee with vanilla and it was very smooth and delicious. Overall, I had a great experience here. The food was amazing, the service was kind and welcoming, and despite the small space, I would 100% come back and try something new next time. Highly recommend!

    Chicken & Waffles
    Antonius B.

    Attentive and friendly staff, clean and open spot in the Marina district. I ordered chicken and waffles, the chicken was a crispy and lightly breaded boneless thigh and the waffle was a perfectly crispy and light Belgian waffle. The food was hot, chicken was juicy and the waffle melts in your mouth. I wish they had more hot sauce options, but other than that, this place is solid.

A charming little bistro inspired by the Marlowe cows, I'm assuming, managed to stun us with several memorable dishes. The warm deviled eggs were an excellent start. Savory yet delicate enough to not weigh us down right at the beginning of our meal. The horseradish aioli wasn't for me, but I can see its appeal for a certain audience. You give me a Calabrian chili sauce and it's guaranteed to make me happy and this shrimp with sweet corn was no exception. Again, light but a punchy flavor that was enjoyable. I could go on and on about the different dishes we tried but the real standout of the night was the pork tenderloin with chorizo and peaches. The sweetness from the peaches somehow managed to enhance the flavor of the chorizo. This dish gives you a bold, savory and sweet bite all together but still won't have you feeling super heavy. The portion size is perfect. Im hoping to return soon for another exquisite meal.

Based on our two visits, coming on a weekday and later in the day seems much more manageable. Both of us ordered The Plow with the house-made pork sausage, which comes with eggs, Plow potatoes, and lemon ricotta pancakes. Such a satisfying meal! The house-made pork sausage patties were juicy and packed with flavor. The Plow potatoes tasted fresh and were crispy, crunchy, and rustic. The lemon ricotta pancakes were a great way to finish the meal--after all the savory flavors from the eggs, potatoes, and sausage, the pancakes with maple syrup were the perfect sweet ending. We also both got the cold brew with oat milk. Strong and really good--exactly how we like our cold brew! Service: Great! Everyone was friendly and attentive, and they checked in on us frequently even though the restaurant was busy. Ambiance: Plow is a relatively small restaurant, but it still feels clean, spacious, and bright. There's both indoor and outdoor seating. The bathroom was also very clean, but just a heads-up that there's only one restroom for the entire restaurant, so you may have to wait. Overall, 5/5! We've enjoyed Plow both times we've visited. The wait can definitely be long, but the food and service make it worth it. Come hungry, plan for a wait, and get The Plow with the house-made pork sausage!
