    Breakfast Burrito, Buttermilk Pancakes, Hashbrowns
    Andrea K.

    Delicious food, fair price point, awesome service, what more can you ask for? I highly suggest their breakfast items, as it's what they are known for. The breakfast burrito is huge and packs a strong pepper flavor. Pancakes are perfect, and hash browns are crispy. You already know I'm coming back for their biscuits too. Their service stands out, and it's always a bonus to be supporting a mom and pop shop in the neighborhood!

    Fresh baked biscuits

    Best local brunch spot. They made these biscuits fresh this morning. I love their breakfast items. One of my favorite burgers spots, fresh ground chuck with bacon. Drool. Father and son duo. They just offered me free coffee to go.

    Bread Pudding French Toast
    Emily W.

    Amazing pulled pork waffle fries, the fries themselves have seasoning, the pulled pork w/ nacho cheese on top is a huge plus! Get the bread pudding french toast, it's so much better than normal french toast and comes with tons of fruit! I will ask for syrup on the side next time since with the whipped cream it was already sweet enough, the syrup made the bread pudding french toast sickly sweet at the bottom where it all pooled in the plate. Good service and friendly staff!

    Vietnamese Coffee

    Eat Americana staff is very friendly, attentive, and welcoming with a very wholesome family-feel. Interior of the restaurant is simple and functional, but a little outdated. But hey, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it", right? We stopped by on a weekend late morning craving breakfast items. We had two orders of the Farm Egg Breakfast Plate (two eggs any style with hash browns), one side of bacon, one side of pork sausage links, and an iced Vietnamese coffee. Hash browns were nice and crispy, eggs standard, pork sausages very juicy, and bacon nice and crispy. Food was simple, greasy, and fills you up. It's nothing worth going out of the way for, but if you're already in the area, it does the job of getting you full.

    Short Rib Hash*
    Rachel H.

    I came here for brunch, and the workers here are the nicest! For my appetizer, I had the portobello mushroom fries. These were so crispy, and the dipping sauce that came with it was amazing! For my main, I had the short rib hash. To my surprise, there were 4 or 5 big chunks of short rib. I thought it would be shredded and incorporated with the potatoes that way. Nevertheless, it had great flavor and was very tasty. I almost missed this place because there was a huge wooden board that covered the windows. It also made the interior a little dark.

    Short Rib Hash*
    Kate D.

    Food was phenomenal. The short rib has had sautéed onions, peppers, hash browns with an ample amount of short ribs. The breakfast burrito consisted of cheese, hashbrowns, sausage eggs and peppers which were amazing. The pancakes were good but nothing to write home about. The fruit tray was amazing, had raspberries, blueberries, bananas, strawberries topped with an American flag!

    Cold goat cheese salad

    Very casual location but amazing food items with impeccable service. My go to is the short rib lasagna and also the tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwich. I love their French fries too. This is pictures of my to go order.

    My husband had been craving to eat burger at Eat Americana. So today we went for lunch at this restaurant. We got our table where my husband & I were sitting side by side facing the street. The dining room is small but we saw people really enjoying their meal and company. A woman brought us two glasses of water right away. After we reviewed the menu, I called the attention of the woman that we were ready to order. The room arrangement has the open kitchen and blocking our table. The server came and it was the owner, Tony. I told him that I recognized him from the Yelp posted pictures. I told my husband as well. We ordered the Portobello Mushroom Fries for starter. It came first and we ate it for the first time. Tony told us the breaded mushroom with cilantro sauce. And it was delicious when dipped in the sauce. My husband ordered the Impossible Burger Time and I ordered the Veggie Rueben (Portobello mushroom). My husband added the French Fries. He said his burger is juicy and flavorful. My portobello burger was appetizing. So far the meal was savory. Tony visited our table checking on how were we doing. We support local businesses establishments in the neighborhood so we shall return. I recommend this restaurant.

    Above is the platter with the omelette and the potatoes and below is the breakfast burrito (mine)
    Robert G.

    This place is a hoot. I didn't know what to think when going to get dinner here with a friend and upon walking up to this quaint eatery with the name Eat Americana. The name is sort of funky, too, when you think about it. You go inside and find that the eating areas are mostly in the front and at the rear of where the serving counter narrows the restaurant. The owners and employees are very welcoming. Eat Americana's menu is also kind of quirky. There is an all-day breakfast (this is normal at many places) and then, diagonally across the menu, are the more dinner-like items. I was really hungry and tried to stick to the tradition of dinner food at dinnertime. However, I asked the apparent proprietor which would be more filling - dinner items such as the Philly cheesesteak or the breakfast burrito. (The short rib lasagna also sounded interesting.) He steered me toward the breakfast burrito. Upon being delivered to the table, the breakfast burrito was a feast for the eyes. It was a filling and loaded burrito. It was also delicious. I ordered coffee with my meal, which they refilled as needed. My friend quietly chowed down on the platter with the omelette and (breakfast) potatoes and also stated that the food was very good. Upon looking at the map, Eat Americana is in the Outer Richmond and practically at the Pacific Ocean! It sits just slightly south of Geary, and is about halfway between Lincoln Park and Golden Gate Park. The neighborhood is a nice one, but easy parking isn't a shoe-in. It might take some work to find that free spot. Also, here's a handy way to remember how the Richmond and the Sunset areas relate to Golden Gate Park's large footprint: R (as in Richmond) precedes S (as in Sunset) and, using "similar" logic, the Richmond is above Golden Gate Park while the Sunset is below it. Eat Americana is a solid diner in a much quieter part of San Francisco. I'm glad I got the chance to eat here and would be very willing to eat here again.

    Straight up friendly diner. The food is a little better than the typical diner. Will bookmark this place & try a fee other dishes.

    Breakfast burrito, splash of Cholula
    Morgan W.

    Came here after walking Land's End since our brunch standby, the Cliff House, permanently closed down. Immediately after we sat in their clean parklet, we were given impeccable service. The waiter answered all of our questions about dietary restrictions, and when I asked to omit sausage in my breakfast burrito, it was recommended that I sub avocado (usually I have to beg for that sort of thing!). The breakfast burrito, like all good burritos, was at least as big as my forearm, and it was DELICIOUS. Perfectly crisped tortilla and really fresh ingredients. The rest of my friends enjoyed their food as well, and I'm really happy to have supported this longtime neighborhood business!

    Old school diner feel with kitchen in the dining room
    Lauren M.

    Popped in for apps before our dinner down the street with an extraordinary wait; quite the opposite at Eat Americana. An unassuming diner tucked away in the Inner Richmond, this is a classic diner vibe that gives serious homage to all things SF. Super affordable and hearty dishes, though the menu needs some updating (we noticed Anchor Steam listed under the beer section). We only snagged the brussel sprouts, which were crispy and tender but not too soggy, and the buffalo wings, which also had a perfect crisp to them with the right amount of sauce. Both perfectly cooked! I wouldn't come back just for those dishes alone, but would want to try the other menu items. Our server was overly gracious and funny, but was a bit slow to come to us and we weren't sure how to pay at the end of our meal. It was late on a weeknight so they were also wrapping up, so I'm totally understandable of the divided attention. While the bathroom was clean and fully stocked, it was difficult to navigate to around some of the crates of food; the use of space past the dining room felt a bit crammed for guests to have access to.

    The Phillies cheesesteak sandwich was so good and so much that I have to take the second half home!

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.
