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
Yelena P.

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
Priscilla W.

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 Interior of the restaurant is simple and functional, but a little outdated.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*
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!

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.

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.

Great food, beautifully presented by friendly wait staff, in a pretty setting. Excellent value for $.

Regular French Fries

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.

Poor man steak
Leung T.

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

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

Food service everything was amazing. You gotta come here! Try the Philly cheesesteak sandwich and also the grilled cheese and tomato soup. My dad had was so tasty. Root beer I don't know what brand it is but very good as well.

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.

I was really sad to see this place close. I loved their burger and Philly cheesesteak. I wish the owner all the best in retirement.

(NOTE: I can't actually rate the food becuase we didn't have any!

I just gave it 5 stars becuse everybody else has and I see no need to bring down the rating.) On the way back to our car from TJ Cafe, i noticed, through the window, that the wall of bottles was actually topped by a big sign saying non-alcholic! Having been a member of a non-drinking community since 1962, I was fascinated to see such display and dropped in to check it out We spent some 15 minutes with Josh, an ex-bar tender, explaining his philosophy on the social need for community life withoug depending on alcohol (See his Youtube channel: "Josh the non-Alcoholic" for more on this). Josh gave my wife a free cup of coffee since TJ Cafe down the road had no had free refills, and we entered a draw to win a bottle of non-Alcoholic French wine. Josh surprised us by telling us that the French wine industry is going big on non-alcoholic wines. I bought a can of Vanua Bliss - a Mango flavoured Kava drink - vastly different from the Kava served to me during my 3 years stay on Tanna, New Hebrides (1977 to 1980) which was made by youth chewing the kava in their mouths, spitting it out on to a coconut sheath, then pouring water into it and squeezing it into a half shell of a coconut and cerimoniously handing it to you under the shade of a huge Nambunga tree as the twilight deepened! Such are memories made of. While Kava is not alcoholic, it does have some muscle relaxant properties and give a weird buzz of the tongue. I wish him well in his endeavour to allow the teetotaler community to enjoy the social aspects of drinks with their meals, without worring about the alcohol destroying our brain cell and livers!

Not to mention it was huge and stuffed!!! Overall amazing experience, I can't wait to hike and eat there again :)

The ultimately utilitarian restarurant!…read more My wife, on a TCM practitioner's recommended diet, wanted an Omelete that Ocean Beach cafe couldn't provide and who sent us to TJ Cafe 3 doors down the street. The omelletes were actually OK - if they'd been served on a china plate, with a lettuce leaf and orange slice garnish or something, I would probably have given them 4 stars - but on a paper plate with a plastic fork? And no free refills on the coffee? No doubt, if quick in and out food is your need, this place will suffice, but for a nice beach front atmosphere in a comfortable space with good attentive service on a Sunday morning, look elsewhere. Their website says they are a "charming eatery nestled in San Francisco, known for its cozy ambiance and delicious comfort food". Bare walls, linoleum flooring, black vinal and chrome chairs and tables are not what I call charming or cozy - but the comfort food might be delicious, however my wife and I can only say that the omlettes were good enough!

This is probably the only place where the sandwiches don't taste like the store's essence…read more I mean, don't get me wrong, a store's essence from any given deli/liquor store definitely adds unique character to the sandwich and sometimes I want that in a sandwich. But when you want a sandwich that only tastes like its ingredients, Irving Subs is the spot. Their Dutch crunch is famous for being fresh and actually crunchy. Their lettuce is shredded but fresh and crispy. The salt content is just enough to bring out the flavors. And the overall composition of their sandwiches are very well proportioned. You're not getting skimped, but you're also not biting into a mouthful of a packet of deli meat. They definitely know what they are doing. Service is good and ambiance is a small humble shop on the corner of 12th Ave.

Double pastrami, horseradish, havarti, lettuce, tomatoes, red onions, pickles, and pepperoncini. A lot going on, and it all came together. The horseradish and havarti gave it enough personality to stand apart from a standard pastrami sandwich, and the garlicky mayo tied everything together. The one casualty of DoorDash was sogginess by the time it arrived. That's not a knock on the sandwich, it's just the reality of ordering something like this for delivery. At $14.50 it's a hearty sandwich at a fair price. I'd recommend it, but eat in.

The Vitamin C Salad was flavorful and a bit unique with its pistachio vinaigrette dressing. Fresh ingredients in all the food. My Margherita pizza was a rectangular 8 piece gem, with vivid tomato flavors and ample cheese. The crust was equally delicious and suited the pizza just right.
