Definitely recommend Kids love the food and love the couple Lego sets they have on display!

the food was very tasty. i got the chicken fried steak and it was very crispy and savory and the gravy was creamy and decadent. definitely something that i would like to enjoy on a day that i'm not watching my calories or carbs. the wait staff was attentive and very friendly and they came by frequently to check in on us. the inside is very cozy and nice. in fact when you first walk in, there's a fireplace. it makes you feel kind of at home. very fitting for the restaurant name home plate. as for the cost i think it's fairly within the range of sf prices which generally are expensive. the chicken fried steak cost if i remember correctly around $20. it was pretty good. read more

Parking was difficult to find. Got a table right away for a party of 5. It's a nice cozy place. We got the bottomless mimosas. They are pretty prompt to refill your glasses. But you can only get the orange juice mimosa for bottomless and none of the flavored ones. The mimosas are not watered down either Got the chicken and waffles Benedict was really yummy, it came with a side of "home fries" which are essentially potatoes. I just wish they gave syrup with it too Others got a burger, a fried chicken steak, and we also got the crispy French toast for the table The food was overall really good! Enjoyed our brunch! read more

Poor service. Was made to wait specifically for a table for two when we could have been sat way earlier in a table for four. Which was open for more than half an hour! Finally get a table after waiting for more than an hour. Our waitress was very dismissive with a passive aggressive attitude. Definitely felt (and witnessed) the difference in the way we were treated versus the usually well treated folks. Other than that, the restrooms were dirty with no paper towels and the food was mid. read more

Very cozy seating and great staff but the prices don't match the quantity or quality of food I had the corned beef hash with poached eggs on it and my wife had a waffle eggs sausage with a set of hash browns which cost extra. They also have crab cakes which were $16 for two of them but it was full of crab read more

Cute no frills brunch spot in the Marina off Lombard! Definitely a go-to if one of the other cutesy-instagramy-50foraplateofeggspancakeandmimosa-spots has an hour wait. It feels like a cute cozy house in there! I'm really glad to see these restaurants that don't have crazy decor and jacked up prices exist Service is slow and prices are reasonable! Food is exceptional for the price when you have Mel's RIGHT across the street charging the same plates for double. We'll be back! read more

We got here on a Saturday and there was a huge line as they maintain the reservations in an old school way of pen and paper :D Although we lost hopes of getting a seat, we managed to get one after waiting for about 15 minutes because a party of 2 infront of us left the queue. The interior ambiance is pleasant for a brunch spot and although the tables were really close to each other, we had a nice meal! The food tasted really really good - both the French toast and the oat meal with seasonal fruits were prepared fresh and plated so well! The service was also really good, as we got our request of changing tables accepted as we couldn't stand the overwhelming smell of the kitchen on the side closer to it. Would definitely come back for brunch if I am in the area! read more

Came back here and had a much better experience! I got the crispy French toast and black tea. The French toast was extremely yummy and I'd come back for that again. It was perfectly crispy, flavorful and had fruits and nuts, and so aesthetic too. The service was really good and fast too. read more

Service was attentive and got to spend time catching up with friends for about an hour or two on a relaxed Sunday morning. Huevos rancheros was tasty and filling and the coffee got refilled twice.

I came as a walk-in with a relatively-large party and, surprisingly, was able to get seated within a few minutes. We came for their bottomless mimosas, and they were very accommodating for those of us who didn't want to drink, allowing some of us to participate in bottomless mimosas while others didn't. They were very attentive with replacing our mimosas when they got empty, and were very friendly. As for food, I got the chicken & waffles and had no complaints. read more

Fiancée and I stopped in for brunch to start off het birthday weekend. We both got the breakfast sampler and bottomless mimosas. The food is AMAZING--would recommend!! Mimosas are flowing, wait staff is incredible and the restaurant itself is very home-y. We will come back if we're ever in the area again. read more

This brunch place is always a good time! Maybe it's because of the bottomless mimosas lol. Regardless the food is pretty good! I got a crab sandwich and finished it up! Can't go wrong with this option, located in the nice Marina area with many things to check out after. For a party of three we did have to wait a little while, but that's typical for a popular brunch spot so not a big deal. Service is good didn't see anything wrong with that would return if I'm in the area. read more

Super cute place! Came after a run with the MRC run club. Good: - The ambiance is great, beautiful decor and it's a cute brunch place - The acai bowl was great - super beautiful plating and good portion size, I liked the acai blend they used too and there was a lot of fruit on the plate - The huevos rancheros was also delicious, the tortilla was plated in a cute way - The latte with oatmilk was so tasty! - Staff checked in us a lot Bad: - Takes forever for the food to come out! I swear we waited about 30 min for the food to get to us Overall enjoyed the experience though it was a lot of waiting. read more

Nice brunch/lunch place in Marina. Easy to walk in (even for the big party (of 7) the wait is 10-20 min on Sunday afternoon), and the service is friendly + food comes fast. Love the portion sizes and how flavorful are their breakfasts! My favorites are Benedict's and French toast. read more

Frittata was tasty. Coffee delicious. Service awesome. Great environment. Enjoyable overall!

Brunch place in the Marina district along busy Lombard St. They have a nice interior with comfy ambience. I ordered the waffle and fried chicken steak. The steak was good but I didn't like the gravy that much. The waffle was just average tasting. read more

Service needs to improve. Had to flag down a waiter to get our order taken. Then once again flagged a waiter to see how much longer for our food after 45 minutes passed. Asked for our tab and to our surprise, the waiter added 20% because there was 6 people, when actually they only served 5 plates the sixth person was a 1 year old child who ate from my plate. Just reviewed the tab and it states 5. How rude of the waiter to take it upon herself to charge 20% tip! read more

So my family and I are here in San Francisco touring colleges for our youngest son, and we decided to check out Home Plate for breakfast! So as always, I'll begin with the good. Home Plate was a very nice a chilled spot that had a relaxing vibe while your dining. I loved how attentive everyone was. As a matter of fact as soon as we walked in, we were seated. When the waitress saw that I was running low on coffee, she was there to refill. This definitely put me in my happy place. Now for the food. The Pancakes and the French Toast I ordered, were a hit! So flavor, hot, and mouthwatering. Even while my oldest son was eating his pancakes, you could tell that the cook put a little love in making the pancakes. Now for the opportunities Home Plate should consider. My youngest son shared with us, that there was a review that said the waffles were just so so. I really think they should have listened. The waffles at Home Plate made Ego Waffles look amazing. And my Chicken Sausage Patty wasn't any better. The sausage was very dry and extremely hard. I would definitely be back when I'm back in the San Francisco area, but we won't be ordering the waffles or chicken sausage patties. read more

7:15am Friday: You know how people older than you always say everything in the city used to be better? Cleaner, cheaper, etc? Back in the day Sonny, I used to work 6am shift & my coworkers & I would make a 2 mile special trip for this cute little place with the homemade jam. Fast forward, the table has a pile of tiny Smuckers packs, just like a greasy spoon. However, ambiance now that of a fancy hotel where breakfast is included, not much personality. I ordered a classic bacon & eggs, with many side options. I chose potato pancakes. Big mistake. What are these 2 thin square things that I'm sure are stacked frozen in the kitchen. For two large pancakes it was weird to get about 2 teaspoons each of apple sauce & sour cream. Bacon & eggs just ok. Left the bland toast on my plate. They forgot to heat the teapot water. Anyway, super friendly wait staff, working hard. Didn't take long for food to arrive. Steady stream of tourists from the many Lombard motels. 8am the back room was packed. When paying my waiter disappeared with my credit card for a long time. Most places take your card at the table so it's never out of sight. Just a suggestion here. I can see the appeal of Home Plate if you're staying nearby or want a fancy place to take grandma. For me, I wouldn't return, so many better cafes & restaurants in San Francisco. I felt bad for the tourists, they could have taken a fun driverless car ride to an actual neighborhood establishment. read more

Very quick service , we were checked on multiple times, delicious Benedict's and good price.

This is a hidden gem! How come I have only found out about this place after all this years? Ambiance is the best, food is amazing- try their fried avocado, server Nacha is so genuine! The coffee lady is awesome too except she thought we had a problem with food and I think it's a language barrier issue lol. Bathroom is spacious and clean , has a changing table for infants! Love that this place is here. Definitely an alternate for breakfast to go! read more

Cute restaurant & friendly service! I love that they have fresh juice I ordered the carrot celery and it was refreshing. I also ordered the fried avocados and the chicken sausage with friends toast. The French toast was delicious. I was not too much of a fan of the chicken sausage. I prefer it to be more savory but that is just personal preference. I still would recommend Home Plate. Breakfast was solid. read more

Came here for lunch with a few friends and had an overall nice experience. The service was wonderful. Our waitress was super friendly and gave us great recommendations, which we really appreciated. The ambiance is pretty and inviting when you first walk in, but there was a noticeable oily, greasy smell coming from the kitchen-possibly a ventilation issue that took away a bit from the overall vibe. We were also a little underwhelmed by the coffee, especially for a spot that serves breakfast and lunch. That said, the food was enjoyable, and the service really stood out. read more

There was a wait of about 20 minutes for our party of two. It went by pretty quickly. Parking outside is quite a hassle but there is metered street parking; it just takes some driving around to find. The place is cute, chairs are comfy (at least the ones we got), and the decor was nice. The food was okay. I tried being healthy with the carrot juice. Benefits are great of course, but taste, not too great. I had the Philly steak omelet. The meat inside was good but the eggs were a bit bland. Ended things with a mimosa 'cause why not. read more

Ordered the buttermilk pancakes on DoorDash. They don't indicate how many pancakes you get but the photos show a stack of 5! I only received 2 pancakes. It felt misleading to show 5, not actually state how many you get and then get 2 (not even half of what I thought I was getting)! If I had known I'd have ordered something else. The pancakes themselves were yummy but I do feel mislead and ripped off as they weren't cheap. I likely won't be back as I feel taken advantage of and mislead. read more

One of the best restaurants experiences I have had in San Francisco! The food and drinks were amazing and the menu has so many options. I had the very yummy roasted chicken omelette and the smoothest vanilla latte of my life. My friends got pancakes, french toast, mimosas and were all thrilled. The staff and the owners could not have been more lovely and accommodating. And the ambiance is so cozy, comfortable, and beautiful. The place was packed and rightly so-get there early on the weekends. Highly recommend and excited to go back again soon! Thank you, Home Plate!! read more

We came on a Sunday afternoon for brunch with a few other friends. this is in the city but a little bit further south not too far from the actual San Francisco area. The place is pretty spacious so if you have a large group of friends or family, it should be easy to accommodate. They are only open for brunch/lunch. Despite all that, I really enjoyed everything we ate. It was really good. They did seem in a hurry for us to leave. I understand it was 3 PM and they were close. That was the only thing that I noticed, but other than that, I definitely would be coming back. read more
