Okay, these potatoes balls are insanely good. Imagine deep fried salty mashed potatoes in a buttery ball form. It comes with a vinegary dipping sauce and it's a perfect little snack. Definitely come and order at the counter then enjoy the indoor or outdoor seating available. Also a great location, right by the N-line. read more

Gregoire - Potato puffs. - Sandwiches Near Me - San Francisco, California

I've been hearing about Gregoire's legendary potato puffs from my Berkeley friends, and I finally had the chance to try them when Gregoire participated in Off the Grid at the Fort Mason Night Market. Since it wouldn't have been the most "balanced" meal to only eat potato puffs for dinner, I also ordered the quiche with roasted zucchini and salad. Apart from the potato puffs, the rest of Gregoire's menu featured hearty sandwiches and salads that spotlighted fresh summer produce. After placing my order through the online portal, my food was prepared in under 10 minutes. I tried one the potato puffs first because those must be enjoyed fresh - and they were indeed fluffy! A lighter version of a hush puppy or croquette, Gregoire's potato puffs had a melt-in-your-mouth texture with a crispy and salty exterior. I received 9 puffs in my box, which also included a side of mayo or ketchup for dipping. The quiche was also excellent - the egg custard was soft, buttery, and slightly cheesy, and the zucchini added freshness. The salad was refreshing, with plenty of pickled vegetables and a tangy mustard dressing. I now understand why Gregoire is known as the "Home of the Potato Puff" and want to try their famous fried chicken sandwich on my next visit. read more

Gregoire - Sandwiches Near Me - San Francisco, California

A friend and I walked here from Golden Gate Park and came in on a Sunday right after opening. The inside is clean and there are stools to sit with a counter to enjoy your meal. You can use a kiosk, but since they just opened the cashier was ready and willing to help. The staff here are friendly and nice. I recommend grabbing a drink to go along with your order. The spice level on the Spicy Moroccan Carrot soup and for the slaw on the fried chicken sandwich has a kick that was not expected! But it's good and flavorful. Thankfully, we asked for a couple of water cups and it helped with the spice. The packaging for the food is so cute! The bag and the boxes are very adorable. This is the first time we've ever had potato puffs. To be honest, they're the reason why we even walked into the restaurant. Thank God we did 'cause I would come here again just for the potato puffs! They're light and fluffy, yet dense. They taste like fried mashed potatoes and seem to have a cheese texture inside. But there's no cheese pull. There are other variations, but we chose the one with Parmesan cheese and it was a pretty good combo. The sauce that comes with it seems like a lemony aioli. I'm curious to try the essence of truffle next time. You get a good amount for the price. There's just enough that you'll get full, but not too little that you would've wanted another order. read more

Gregoire has been on my list for a while, but I never had a chance to stop by until now. We happened to be in the area, noticed there wasn't a line, and figured it was the perfect time to finally try their famous crispy potato puffs. We weren't very hungry, so we skipped the sandwiches and just ordered the potato puffs as a snack. I know they're pretty simple--basically mashed potatoes coated in batter and deep-fried--but wow, they were so good! Crispy on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside, and totally addictive. They came with an aioli for dipping, but honestly, I was perfectly happy eating them on their own. This definitely won't be my last visit. Next time, I'll have to come back hungry so I can finally try one of their sandwiches. I also noticed they offer vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options, so there's something for everyone. If you're in the area and looking for a quick bite, I'd definitely recommend giving Gregoire a try! read more

This is for the potato puffs...oh my goodness!!!! So so so delicious. It's like riced creamy fluffy mashed potato middle that is lightly breaded and then deep fried into delicious puffs. It is just a delicious snack. We first tried these at the Fort Mason off the grid and then at the 9th street location. I can't wait to have some more. read more

I came on a weekday and tried the muffaletta sandwich, tempura cauliflower salad, and potato puffs with truffle. Everything was so good! I don't live too close to this location, otherwise i'd probably pick up from here a lot. I was surprised how much I liked the muffaletta with the olive tapenade and the tempura cauliflower was fried to perfection. The iconic potato puffs are a yummy side or snack. Love the new mural too! read more

I went to their food truck that was near the ferry building on Saturday. I went late In the afternoon on a sunny day, so they were sold out of drinks. I decided to try the sampler which had a chicken sandwich and potato puffs. I thought the sandwich was small but it was a good size. The chicken was nice and juicy. Potato puffs were light and fluffy. Overall, it was good and reasonably priced. It was less than $20 and filling. read more

new location in the sunset (the original being berkeley), and only has a few counter seats so most people order takeout or pickup. we came to try one of the only poutines in sf, but their potato puffs stole our hearts! crispy outside and so soft inside (not dry), and they came so piping hot and fresh. I wasn't so much a fan of the fried chicken sandwich (kind of bland), and the poutine was a bit too salty, but would come back for those potato puffs! read more

Gregoire - fried chicken sandwich, potato puffs, poutine - Sandwiches Near Me - San Francisco, California

Once a bar, Record Factory, Jamba Juice and now Gregoire, a bright orange eatery near GGP offering Canadian French sandwiches, salads and drinks. You can order at a kiosk or counter. I purchased the lamb and feta on ciabatta and potato puffs. There was no line and I received my takeout within ten minutes. Place is clean and bright - service is friendly. At home, I shared the food w/ my daughter. I enjoyed the spice lamb sandwich but she thinks it's too salty (feta). We thought the potato puffs are quite bland but liked the sauce that came with them. Both of us were full afterwards. read more

The place that prides itself on potato puffs sure does make it hard to try them. An employee took 2 minutes to explain you can't simply add on puffs to an order and can't mix and match them because of the convoluted ordering system. I was so confused I just gave up and ordered an entire set of the regular puffs. I have to say they were underwhelming for all of the hype I heard about them. The breading was so-so, but the actual potato filling was soggy and lacked flavor. Same with the chicken sandwich- soggy and the bread was meh. Could have benefitted from heating up on a skillet. read more

Glad I got to try this place that opened up a couple of months ago! It definitely an order to go location as there's only a couple of seats inside though they do have some patio tables lining the sides of the building. Service was pretty fast. It was lunch time and they were juggling preorders as well. Ordered the smoked salmon salad and potato puffs. I thought the packaging was very interesting as I think it's a first that I have eaten salad off wax paper inside a paper box. I'm not sure if it works as the dressing did leak into the box so it had to be composted instead of recycled. Salad was good. It looks small but that's because of the container. I thought there was a good amount of food in there. The potato puffs were slightly disappointing. The dipping sauce leaned on the saltier side but the potato puffs itself had no seasoning (no salt). The texture of the potato puffs was good as it was crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Next time I come I think I'll try the bavette steak sandwich or salad as that seems to be highly ordered. read more

Jamba Juice? Away with the wind, but not completely gone. There's still some Jamba Juice locations throughout my big city. What we now see at the corner of 9th Avenue and Irving was a truly fancy French café that was straight from the East Bay. Say "salut" to Grégoire! Home to fried chicken sandwiches, poutine, and potato puffs, Grégoire would never disappoint. I could tell how good their food looks before they're delicious. My first order for my first visit were nine pieces of potato puffs that surrounded by a white truffle essence. Crunchy on the outside, mashed potato soft on the inside! Two words, chef's kiss! Good for takeout, but I could stay to finish all my potato puffs. Might be back to try other good eats. I wouldn't mind if Grégoire turned out French rather than Canadian. It's been ages since we lived throughout the Bay Area. I been waiting for so long to visit Montreal after my dad; I can hardly wait to find out what it's like to dine in a real Canadian café or restaurant. Seeing that Grégoire has poutine on a menu has shown me just enough. What's interesting about Grégoire was that it even has its food truck that came into Salesforce Transit Center from time to time. Two thumbs up! read more

I came here one weekend after walking around Golden Gate Park. Tried the fried chicken sandwich, leg of lamb sandwich, mushroom and garlic quiche with salad and their potato puffs. Potato puffs are what they are known for. Note: There is definitely limited seating here. For the food - Fried chicken sandwich is a fried chicken filet with a spicy coleslaw on a french roll. The fried chicken unfortunately was not crispy when I got it, it was also a bit dry and not that spicy. It was okay overall. Leg of lamb sandwich - It had some thinly sliced pieces of lamb, with roasted garlic, marinated tomato and a waffle potato chip on a grilled ciabatta. This was probably my favorite item of what was ordered. Mushroom and garlic quiche w/ salad - it was fine, I wish the crust was crispy but other than that nothing too special. Potato puff - I wish it was more crispy, it tasted like mashed potatoes a bit. The sauce was okay as well. Overall, if everything was a bit crispier, this would have been a great meal. read more

Was excited about trying this new spot in the sunset, a branch off of a famous Berkeley joint. It's bright and clean, with a handful of stools at the window. I see it doing well with folks picking up a lunch as I did coming from work, a quick afternoon potato puff pick-me-up, or an easy picnic in the park. Fried chicken sandwich - good fry, enjoyed the slaw, but little bland and ratios were off so it's a LOT of bread (the roll's pretty dense too) on top of breading on the chicken. Would recommend getting this as salad or just skipping. Bavette steak sandwich was similarly too much bread but better since ciabatta is thinner, though bottom was soggy. Enjoyed the steak, arugula, blue cheese spread, though onions were surprisingly cold. Would reattempt this and ask for ciabatta grilled, and try the lamb. The potato puffs were a little denser than I thought they'd be, very filling, but with a lovely light crust. Seems their aioli flavor rotates, today was like Tabasco so wasn't my fave. read more

San Francisco has almost any kind of cuisine from any country around the world and it's rare to not find something on a menu somewhere in the city. One thing San Francisco doesn't have is a dedicated Canadian restaurant. It seems there is almost any type of cuisine from any country and region from around the world at San Francisco restaurants. The USA's neighbor to the north cuisine dishes are not centralized under one restaurant and so you have to hunt for some Canadian dishes at different restaurants. There is one place which serves one of my favorite Canadian dishes which is poutine. On a Winter stroll in the Sunset Strip of San Francisco their is a place which used to serve purple colored Jamba Juice now serves their popular hot potatoes at Grégoire . This place serves sandwiches and wraps but the hot item on their menu is the hot potato also known as the potato puff. I was here for the poutine. I get excited over poutine because French fries , gravy, and cheese curds are my jam. The savory delicious gravy compliments the crunchy fresh fries and the cheese curds. Although the cheese curd has some cheese pull it was not as cheesy as some in SF. Overall a must try for Canadian poutine lovers. There is a place which around the block from they sell fried chicken sandwiches so you can show them the " The Bird" a new store open on the corner of 9th Ave and a new thing just "occurred" and I got the "word"they sell my favorite Canadian dish with fries, gravy, and "cheese curd" Although the Canadian dollars are colored in brown , purple , red , blue and some in "green"but this place accepts only US dollars and has my favorite gravy fries with cheese curds called" poutine "which is different from regular French fries with ketchup same "routine"a great new addition of a Canadian dish to the San Francisco food "scene" read more

This review is for their food truck that's parked in the Presidio. We were visiting the tunnel tops and decided to give this spot a try. We tried their two best sellers, the chicken sandwich and crispy potato puffs. With tax and tip, it came out close to $30. I felt like the chicken sandwich had potential but it was lacking some flavor. The chicken while breaded nice didn't have any distinct flavor and really came from the sauce and slaw. The bread wasn't super fresh tasting. Maybe it was a bad day but it missed the mark for me. The potato puffs were decent. One order came with like 10 pieces, so it's good to share with a group. We got it with garlic and parsley but probably should've got em regular. It's basically a fried (although I wish they were crispier) mashed potato ball, while I like the idea, i felt like it needed more salt or pepper. The aioli for dipping added a nice flavor profile. Glad I got to try it and see what the hype was all about. Definitely wouldn't order what I got again but the rest of the menu had somethings that sounded tasty but just didn't have the stomach room to eat it all at once lol read more

Came by recently with my husband to try this new French-inspired takeout place in the Sunset. Small menu. We got the: *potato puffs - their famous fried crispy potato puffs. Crispy outside, soft inside. Tasty! Honestly tasted like fried mash potatoes. *Bavette Steak Sandwich - Meh. I enjoyed the arugula. The beef is tough. *Fried Chicken Sandwich - delicious! Love the crispy chicken sandwich. Will get again. *banana nut bread pudding - Comes with a caramel dipping sauce but honestly you don't need it. Too sweet. Takeout counter with a few outdoor tables. Friendly and efficient service. Located on 9th Ave and Irving. read more

I stopped by Gregoire with a couple of friends and I tried their famous potato puffs. We waited around 15 minutes before our order came out. There isn't a huge number of puffs pere order, but each one is clearly made fresh! They're crispy on the outside, warm and soft on the inside, and high quality. I loved the sauce, which went well together with the puffs. My friends and I were not hungry enough to try their sandwiches this time, but we will definitely be back to explore more of their menu! read more

WOW this place surprised me. Walking through the Inner Sunset on a chilly summer Saturday, the sign for potato puffs caught my eye, and they did not disappoint.

A must-stop if you need a warm, savory bite while exploring the neighborhood! read more

Gregoire - Crispy Potato puffs with Garlic and Parsley - Sandwiches Near Me - San Francisco, California

The only thing I can vouch for are these balls... Grégoire's golden balls of deliciousness (10 pc-$8.85). Think a French croquette, crisp on the outside and creamy soft, almost soufflé-like on the inside. They're on par with their OG Berkeley location. Rich and savory, served with a garlic mayo for dipping. You can enhance the balls with parm, garlic + parsley, or white truffle essence for +$2 each. It's the soft opening so they have kinks to work on. One third of the potato puffs were cold, thankfully the rest were hot. Also, the mayo sauce needs more acid to cut through the richness. And, lastly for +$2...shower my balls with more cheese please! O T H E R I N F O * Soft opened on 1/16/26 at the former Jamba Juice. *Grégoire is best known for their potato puffs and fried chicken sandwich. * Mainly a takeout spot (everything is packed in to-go boxes). There's limited window counter seating and a handful of outdoor tables. Restroom available. * Online ordering not live yet. One kiosk and one cashier. * Certain items sell out early; e.g. muffuletta, lamb sandwich, etc. Check Toast for items still available before heading over. * Kinda long wait time; took 20 minutes for the potato puffs during weekday lunch around 1 pm. * Dog-friendly! The kind owner gave TT a piece of grilled chicken. * Street parking is hella hard. read more

Gregoire - Potato Puffs w/ housemade mayo (10 pc-$8.85) + $2 for parm cheese - Sandwiches Near Me - San Francisco, California

Was recommended this spot by a friend who enjoyed the potato puffs at Gregoire's Berkeley location! We ordered online for pickup on a Friday afternoon, and there was some seating outside (2-seater tables) that were open but we ate at the park since it's quite busy on the street. Pick-up was quick although street parking isn't the easiest, but there is a lot next door. We ordered the potato puffs, bavette steak sandwich, leg of lamb sandwich, fried chicken sandwich, poutine, and meyer lemon tart for dessert. Potato puffs were my favorite - fluffy, light, and freshly fried. They're like fried mashed potato balls. Sandwiches were quite small for the price but were flavorful. The fried chicken sandwich was my favorite one - it had a nice spicy coleslaw & the meat was juicy, but was messy to eat. The lamb was good, not too much meat but was nice with the tomato, waffle potato, and garlic flavor. If you like blue cheese, you'll like the bavette steak sandwich. Poutine was good, had a flavorful gravy topped with cheese curds, but just not my favorite texture. Was nice to try! read more

I visited the original location in Berkeley several years ago, and I remember really enjoying the potato puffs. I was excited to see a location open up closer to me! I got the crispy potato puffs with garlic and parsley and they were quite tasty--piping hot, a nice crisp on the outside, and a warm and gooey potato mash on the inside. The garlic and parsley flavors also came through well without being too overpowering. Not sure if my memory of my Berkeley visit is serving me, but I thought the puffs used to be bigger. Still yummy either way! Service was friendly, and you have to wait a bit for your food. I'm not sure whether this is because they are still working out some kinks, but overall I would return if I'm in the area. read more

I went here on a Friday around 3:11pm and there was no wait. It was also the day of their soft opening, so maybe that's why it wasn't too crowded when I arrived, but more people came here after me though. This restaurant is brightly lit inside and has both indoor and outdoor seating too! Anyways, I ordered the Fried Buttermilk Chicken Filet with spicy coleslaw on French roll and also the Crispy Potato Puffs. This restaurant doesn't accept cash, so everyone has to pay by card. Also, I overheard one of the workers say to a customer after me that they ran out of potato puffs since that item is popular, so go to this restaurant early if you want their potato puffs. Ok, now about the food! The Potato Puffs comes with 9 pieces, a dipping sauce, and doesn't have any filling inside the puff instead of it just being a plain mashed potato. I wish it had some type of filling inside the puff, but at least the sauce it came with helped a lot. Then there's the sandwich I ordered and the Fried Buttermilk Chicken Filet sandwich was my favorite item I got that day! The sandwich is on a soft French roll, loaded with coleslaw, and a large fried chicken filet that was still crispy! The sandwich also had a spicy sauce to it which tasted like a chipotle sauce. I'd recommend this place! Everything I tried tasted good, they have an ok amount of seating at this location, but they don't accept cash. read more

New place that opened up inner sunset. Have heard a lot about the Berkeley location so decided to check it out. The potato puffs with truffle sauce reminded me of an european falafel, iykyk. Also tried the Bavette sandwich which was good. The steak was cooked well. The ciabetta bread was fresh and not hard crusted. The blue cheese and carmelized onions was nice balance of flavors, coming from someone who detests blue cheese normally. Overall, glad I tried it. Hope they expand their menu. read more

I'm so excited Gregoire finally expanded to SF! I used to go to the Berkeley location several years ago, and I still reminisce about the potato puffs. Of course, I had to order my usuals here - the fried buttermilk chicken sandwich and the crispy potato puffs. These tasted just as delicious as I had remembered. I've had most of the different types of sandwiches at their Berkeley location, but my favorite has always been the fried chicken sandwich. The food packaging here is made for takeout (containers are stackable), although there's also indoor counter seating and 4 tables outdoors as well if you prefer to dine in. Can't wait to come back soon! read more

This place is pop-you-lar, already so pop-you-lar.... (the worst, i know) but I'm so happy to see that the winter soft opening is (almost) a line out the door!!!! And the food is worth it (honestly, they are very very efficient here and have an impressive and disciplined staff cranking out fresh orders, we got ours in under 15 minutes which was shocking). There's even a nice little board that says which are ready AND which are in progress (better than kaiser pharmacy amiright?!?!? ... ugh... anyway...), they also have a tablet for ordering if you don't want to order at the counter and want to just swipe your credit card. Staff were delightful, efficient and the food was everything we hoped for after almost six months of the signs announcing their arrival took over the (very) old Jamba Juice 'hot corner' at THE 9th and Irving of "Ninth-and-Irving". Will be back to try more but can highly recommend the steak sandwich and the salmon on toast. read more

First and foremost they should really update their menu and list all of the ingredients in their food. I went in and ordered the chicken pesto wrap. Ordered to-go. I got home and I take bite or the wrap only to find the wrap had tomatoes inside. I'm allergic to raw tomatoes... Thankfully I could pick them out and toss the salad. Despite the tomatoes, the wrap was a fail. The pesto was probably some of blandest I've ever had and chicken was even less satisfying. You definitely don't get your moneys worth here. This place should put as much thought into their food as they did into their packaging (hence the two stars). Will not be coming back. read more

Before visiting, I'd heard so many great things about Gregoire, so I had to try their famous potato puffs for myself and they definitely lived up to the hype!

I was visiting the de Young museum and this cafe is just a short walk away. It was actually my first time ever eating at Gregoire even though I've gone by the Berkeley location many times over the years. I wanted the quiche but they were out of it, so I went for a healthy option of salad with baked salmon. It was tasty, although the salmon seemed more like tuna. And I had to get the potato puffs. They're crispy outside but light and almost creamy inside, not quite what I was expecting. They were good but honestly I would probably choose fries next time. I sat outside in the sunshine on the sidewalk and was pretty happy. For a basic lunch, I felt the price including tip for friendly counter service was on the high side. read more

I've been to the Berkeley location many years ago and I heard they were opening up in San Francisco. I happen to be in the area for their soft opening so I decided to check it out. Potato puffs (3/5): The potato puffs were a bit dense and lacking in flavor. The sauce was only okay as well. Still super crispy though. They were definitely overwhelmed with the long lines but it was their soft opening so I'm not surprised. Wait wasn't too bad. There is some seating inside and outside. read more

I came on a weekday for lunch and there wasn't much of a wait. You order at the counter or they have a self serve kiosk. There is limited seating inside and some 2-seater tables outside. I tried: -Potato Puffs Crispy on the outside and mashed potatoes in the middle. They were more of croquette than a puff making them more dense. It lacked seasoning or something else that would make them more flavorful or stand out especially with all the hype around them. 7/10 -Smoked Salmon Salad The salad mix was interesting. There were pickled vegetables and cooked yellow squash with the mixed greens. The smoked salmon tasted fresh but the salad mixture was just ok. 6/10 Seems like people have more success with the sandwiches but overall nice to try! read more
