The service was impeccable with helpful workers constantly monitoring and making sure everyone was taken care of. One of the workers was friendly and gave us the run down on recommendations and what was popular. The interior is so colorful too! This place is amazing !! The sandwich hit the spot with the perfect amount of meat and veggies along with the sauce. The pink beans were nice to try and were a nice side to the perfectly salted ribs. The ribs were made so well and had the perfect amount of salt to meat ratio and went well with the rice. The lemon zesty salad was refreshing and the garlic platains really hit the spot.

Me and bf ordered a lot of food just to see the variety and a taste of everything. We shared a table with 4 other customers as the place isn't very big and honestly I felt bad since we ordered a lot of food that easily could've taken a lot of space. We tried to minimize the area by transferring similar dishes near one another and stacking our plates on top of each other or really close to each other. Overall it was good to try! Not sure if we'd go back again but it's an experience that anyone should try!

This is my second visit here, but this is my first review (I forgot to review my last visit!). But…read morethis time there were more of us! This place is very nice all around. Good location, plenty of parking across the street in a public garage, nice décor and ambiance, wonderful staff, and a good menu, although it is light on vegetarian options; but if you are not a picky vegetarian, you can still leave happy and fed. There is plenty of indoor seating, and even a nice side patio protected from sun and wind; however, being alongside 3rd Street, a rather busy street, it can be a bit noisy. As nice as the day was, we opted to dine inside so we could chat. They have some good appetizers, and we chose the onion rings and the must-try Ooey Cheesy Balls (5 fried potato balls, mozzarella, parmesan, parsley, house-made smoked jalapeno aioli). The onion rings are plentiful and not at all greasy, a great start to the meal, but the anchor of the apps (for me at least!) are the Cheesy balls. They are different: basically mashed potato balls with cheese inside, deep-fried, and delicious! The house-made smoked jalapeño aioli is awesome too, and it's my preferred dip for the onion rings. For the entrees, I tried a pizza for once, after seeing many good reviews. I tried the Blue pizza (Garlic & herb olive oil, mozzarella, blue cheese, spinach, artichoke, mushroom, red onion). We also had the Buttermilk Fried Chicken sandwich (Butter lettuce, tomato, fresh slaw, pickle slices, house- made smoked jalapeno aioli (mild), brioche bun), the Chicken Salad Sandwich (Poached chicken, celery, parsley, dill, lettuce, tomato, pickled red onion, mayonnaise, focaccia bread) with an added mashed potatoes for a side, and a Chicken Pesto Panini (Pesto, roasted bell pepper, spinach, provolone, mayonnaise, focaccia bread). All the meals were very fresh, and the food was great! The Buttermilk Fried Chicken Sandwich was a tower to look at, with two breasts as the main feature. The other sandwiches were well liked as well, but I know I was the lucky one with the pizza for lunch. If you like blue cheese, this is a great pizza you don't often find elsewhere. The toppings were just right, though I wouldn't have minded a bit more blue cheese, and the olive oil base instead of a red sauce was perfect for letting the flavors really come through, with the cheese, meaty chunks of mushrooms, and onions all balancing each other. The crust was a separate delight, a very thin sourdough type with a crust worthy of eating on its own - and it was! Sadly, between the appetizers and the entrees, there was no room for a dessert, and we all took home some of our lunches, and two of us brought home food for others! Always share the goodness . . . Can't wait for the next visit!

Some folks in my group wanted fresh coffee, sodas and juices from the cold case, pre-packaged deli items, bbq from the grill, and to use the restroom. Don't let the size of this market fool you into believing they are a one trick pony. Besides groceries they have alot to offer. The bbq stand (outside near the back parking lot), plants, gifts, groceries, fresh seafood and meat counters, sandwich and deli counter, self serve hot prepared food bar, coffee and pastries bar, bar ( in the back patio facing the marina), and individual cold case drinks... and that is not everything. They have a backyard patio area and a small indoor seating area. During the summer, live music is held out in the patio. Everyone enjoyed the food items they purchased. Great offerings, prices (normal and comparable to simple places in the area), clean, organized, and beautiful simple decor and aesthetics. Plus they have the BBQ stand out front. It is open daily 11:39am-2pm. Serving up chicken (thigh $8.95, plate $18.95), Miller hot dog $8.95 and tri tip. I have yet to try the tri tip, but the chicken and hot dog are fantastic. Mmm. And I have to give a shout out to the houseplant selection. It caught the eye of some family members, so much so they bought a couple. Beautiful, healthy plants that cost nearly 40% less than the cheapest big box store in our hometown.

The salads are especially quite large and hearty and a great value. Taco Salad: This is my kind of salad, because it's not too salad-y. Basically loaded nachos that happen to be resting on a bed of shredded lettuce. Very filling, I had some leftover after focusing on this as my main lunch. BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwich: Was one of the specials. Tender pork and loads of sweet BBQ sauce on a fluffy, yet toasted, panini. Not gonna woo any deep South BBQ fans, but it was good enough for San Francisco. Meatball Sammy Panini: A bunch of halved meatballs on pressed bread with some cheese and a smear of marinara sauce. The meatballs were a little squeaky in texture, not like the really dense texture of heavy on the meat meatballs, so figured there must be a good amount of filler. It was alright, but you should really go to North Beach for a meatball sandwich. Cheese Quesadilla: Cheese in a whole wheat tortilla. Pretty basic. Some lettuce and tomatoes and sour cream on the side. It was priced even cheaper than the other items, so it's a good snack or side.

I like to mix the hummus on the pieces of chicken so it gives it a yummy saucy tasty flavor. It also came with some veggies with a good drizzle on it. Then I wiped the saucy plate down with the pita.

I'm glad I got it with light dressing because it was just right. The dressing had a nice spicy kick that didn't overpower the rest of the ingredients. The salad consisted of romaine lettuce, blackened chicken, roasted sweet potatoes, avocado, edamame, carrots, red bell peppers, scallions, wonton crisps, and a lime wedge. It's a lot but they all worked together, especially when getting a pop of sweetness from the sweet potatoes. They're small but they make their presence known. I especially liked the crunchy textures of the wonton crisps, lettuce, and carrots. It's pretty spacious inside, though it was a bit hot from the high temps earlier that day with no wind. But I sat next to the windows, where there's bar seating, so it was cooler there. And there are some tables outside. Service was fast and friendly. Overall, I enjoyed my salad and would come back here to try more off their menu.
