Reservation for 7:15 on a Wednesday and it was a full house. Great staff and friendly. Take a look at the food pictures and you see why one thing pops up above the rest. The duck fat fries were AMAZING. I normally don't care for fries but these were skinny and full of flavor from the fat. We ordered one and ended up ordering a second one. The gochujang wings were pretty good but feels like it's missing a secret Korean ingredient. Tacos were both disappointing unfortunately. First time ever ordering deviled eggs and wasn't the biggest fan. I have nothing to compare It to but as a first timer, I wouldn't order it again. Nice dim restaurant definitely must check out! read more

Pretty good overall but the space itself was cramped - we were sat kind of in the back where tables were close enough together that it was hard to get in and out. We passed by the atrium area on our way in which looked pretty nice, wish we could have sat there instead; if I come back I'll try to request that but IIRC reservations only let you choose indoor + atrium vs outdoor. Didn't get too many things; just the duck fat fries and the miso linguine with mushrooms. The fries were incredible; they were spiced and the duck fat "snow" on top was so good, I've never had anything like it before. It add a really rich, savory, and kind of luxurious quality to the fries. The linguine was alright; the sauce was very light which I did like, but not too flavorful - tasted more like oil than anything else. read more

Horsefeather is a really cool spot for brunch in the Nopa / Divisadero area great vibe, and some standout food. We came in hungry and left very happy, especially with the duck‑fat fries, smash burger, chicken and waffles, and fried chicken sandwich. The duck‑fat fries are rich and perfectly crispy, tossed in duck fat "snow" and served with a killer house‑made. The smash burger is juicy, salty, and charred just right, making it an easy repeat‑order any time of day. Really enjoyed the pickles it came with to cut the fat. Their chicken and waffles are a must‑try for brunch: perfectly crispy buttermilk fried chicken on top of a fluffy, buttery waffle, with sweet maple‑style syrup tying everything together. And the fried chicken sandwich is good, with a nicely balanced crunch and crispy milk bread. Overall, Horsefeather is a fun, casual neighborhood bar and restaurant that nails brunch. I'll definitely be back for more duck‑fat fries and their chicken dishes the next time I'm in the Nopa area read more

We had a great time ! We came in for a grad dinner and tried quite a few entries - duck fat fries (good and crispy), deviled eggs (good) and the wings (excellent and tasty) we then go the 2 risotto dishes which were incredible (top 5 risotto of all times for the shrimp one ). Then taco main was also good albeit a little small for how much it cost . Place is very nicely decorated and atmosphere is great - we will return read more

Disclaimer: Vegetarian Review Came here for dinner with friends and everything was just ok. We got a bunch of apps which were good, the deviled eggs and whipped ricotta especially. There was one vegetarian entree option which was this mushroom pasta and it was so bland. As you can tell from the picture, was basically sautéed veggies on plain pasta. I've heard good things about this place for brunch so might be back for that but won't be back for dinner for sure. read more

We came for dinner around 9:30PM on a Monday and it was surprisingly busy for a Monday night. We had reservations since we were a larger group. The interior was dimly lit and cozy. It's the perfect spot for a casual dinner/drinks with friends. Our serve was also friendly, attentive, and quick with recommendations. We ordered the duck fat fries, two piece fried chicken, deviled eggs, and cauliflower. Our favorites were the duck fat fries and two piece fried chicken. The duck fat fries were crispy and rich, especially paired with the curried ketchup. read more

Great vibes and good food! Went for a friend's birthday (we had to prompt our server), but they wished her a very sweet happy birthday. Started with drinks-- they were all strong and creative, we enjoyed they all. Apps we got deviled eggs and the duck fat fries, both were very solid. I really liked the curry ketchup! The miso linguine was a bit of a let down. There was nothing wrong with it, but I couldn't taste any miso or added umami. It was like a solid butter noodle dish. Very minimal toppings of spinach and tomato as well. Bf got the Korean fried chicken burger which actually was quite good! Better than the noodles. The side salad was a bit oddly salty, but the pickles and burger itself were both well seasoned and yummy. Complimentary dessert was very very kind. I will say it would be nice to have more info on allergens. The birthday girl has severe nut and coconut allergies & we were first told the dessert had no allergens (it did in fact have coconut, thankfully she did not eat it). No hard feelings but just an opportunity to improve! read more

Came here on a cold December night for a friend's bday! Ambiance is amazing! We were initially seated outdoors but was able to get in by request! Food was amazing! We had a couple items to share! I would definitely go back to try other things on their menu! Love the fries and my drink and i relly enjoyed my food choice! I think i got risotto! read more

To begin with, the ambiance was nice and the lighting felt very welcoming and elegant. It wasn't too loud that conversations weren't able to be held but it was a good volume inside the restaurant. Everything on the menu looked insane and everything peaked my interest. I ended up getting the duck fat fries and the miso linguini with shrimp. The food absolute exceeded my expectations as I was scared and had low expectations; thinking that this was one of the restaurants where they had interesting dishes with unique ingredients only for the curiosity peaking factor and not for the food quality factor. However I was very pleasantly surprised that this was not the case. The duck fat fries were subtly flavorful with this unique savory and kind of creamy flavor I can't super describe well, they weren't too salty but just right with some ketchup. The miso linguini was absolutely amazing. I'm not typically a big fan of miso but this wasn't overtly salty but I loved how you could taste the hint of lemon and that made it so much better. The shrimp was the best part of it though, it was cooked just right so it wasn't overcooked and too stiff, it was so delicious, tender, and chewy. The service was also impeccable as even though we were there relatively late and closer to closing time, the server didn't treat us with a hint of resentment or any disdain. She was super kind, patient, and attentive to any of our accommodations. Overall, I really enjoyed the atmosphere of this restaurant and I can see myself visiting it again whenever I find myself in the area. It feels like it would be the perfect dining out and getting drinks with friends location on a late Friday night. read more

Wow this is a spot that has stayed in my mind since my birthday! This spot can be often overlooked when passing it, but it's so worth for the ambiance, food and drinks. The duck fat fries are so nostalgic yet so unique and amazing. I would just go here for that and the drinks. The fries are so umami and addicting that I came back a weekend after with my cousins for it with some drinks. Service is swift, quick and the workers here are so kind and attentive. I prefer and love bar seating here for the small snack! And the bartenders here are so friendly and enjoyable for your afternoon chill. They play the best music here too so tens across the board!! We had the black guy as our server and bartender at bar here, and I think about how perfect the service was. I hope everyone knows they are appreciated here!! read more

My friend and I came here for dinner before a concert down the block at The Independent. It was very crowded, and while we would have preferred to sit indoors, we were seated outdoors in a heated area. For entrees, we ordered the risotto and fried chicken, which were both delighful. The duck fat fries were so addicting. We gobbled these right up! I was consindering ordering a holiday drink (it was mid-November), but I had to drive to work the next day. Bill came to about $100 with tip. read more

Stopped by Horsefeather for a happy hour while doing some on-the-go work since I'd seen that they advertise as a remote-work friendly space. Visited right in the middle of happy hour at 3 PM. The atrium was full when we arrived but inside seating was pretty empty - we got lucky though and managed to switch to an atrium table just a few minutes after being seated. We ordered a couple of drinks, the sliders, grilled cheese, and goat cheese dip off of the happy hour menu. I added the roasted cauliflower off the regular menu for a veggie. No one dish was particularly notable, but it was an enjoyable light meal and a nice place to get a little work done and relax in natural lighting! I could definitely see myself stopping by for happy hour if I was in the area, especially for the fun cocktails. read more

Food was fine, nothing stood out and overall the experience was underwhelming. The duck fat fries everyone raves about were honestly just fries nothing memorable or worth the hype. The burger was pretty basic, and while the Korean chicken sandwich had decent flavor, it wouldn't be my first choice over other chicken sandwich spots. A small but frustrating detail: they charge $1 for ranch, served in a tiny cup, which felt excessive. The restaurant itself is nice, but the atmosphere makes it clear they're focused on turning tables as quickly as possible rather than creating a great dining experience. What really stood out, unfortunately, was the service. We overheard the hostess approach a nearby table that was clearly enjoying their meal and say, "Don't mean to be rude, but you need to leave, reservations are here," while simultaneously clearing their table. A more courteous heads-up would have gone a long way instead of actively kicking them out. Overall, nothing was terrible, but nothing impressed me enough to return. read more

Horsefeather - Duck Fat Fries Double Cheeseburger and Korean chicken sandwich. - Cocktail Bars Near Me - San Francisco, California

Great ambiance and good vibes. Pretty crowded on a Friday night, around 10pm. Service was good and waiters were attentive and kind. Duck fat fries were my favorite item on the menu. The taste is subtle, but the fatty flavor sits with you, in a good kinda way. Wings were pretty good too. They're glazed and super flavorful and moist. I prefer the fries over this, but half my table liked the wings. Risotto is underwhelming. Less flavorful than I thought but if you're looking for a creamier, soft flavor, this could be right for you. I tried my partners 2 piece chicken, and it was all right, nothing to write home about and she wouldn't get it again. The birria was also just all right, not very birria like at all, so a bit disingenuous to the name. Overall, cute place with very nice ambiance. Get the fries and maybe the wings, don't get the entrees we got. read more

Came for some holiday cocktails and apps! The duck fat fries were okay -- I got them because many reviews said to try it, but they were mediocre in my opinion. I was more impressed with their goat cheese/artichoke dip! As for the drinks, I got a shortbread themed drink and it was delicious! But the other two (one was served in a coconut from the regular menu and the other was also from the holiday cocktail list but I forgot what it was exactly) were okay. I will come again but it's very cute and I am interested in trying other things on their menu. read more

I was really looking forward to going to this place and I had a decent time but was slightly disappointed with the food. I had the pork tacos and the flavor profile was really good, but I thought they were pretty watery. The appetizers were creative and I would recommend the duck fat fries! The drinks were honestly the best thing that we had, so I would definitely recommend going for cocktails. The jack of roses was the best in my opinion! The two piece chicken we also tried, and it was very over fried. In general, the ambience was very cute and dimly lit, and our server was friendly and helpful! read more

Came here for dinner with a friend and we tried the fries, the Caesar salad, and the tuna tataki. I enjoyed all the dishes since they each were so unique. The tuna and the sauce and rice it's served with were super flavorful. The tuna was thicker than in a typical tataki but was good. The fries were addictive and I could not stop eating them. The salad was good but it was my least favorite of the three things. The wings looked good but we didn't have them - will try them if I come back here. The ambiance is kind of cool- casual. The service was fine - nothing stellar but also nothing to complain about. I would come back here to try some other things! read more

This is based off my brunch experience (which I think they recently just started offering!) Horsefeather is known for their divine duck fat fries which I always recommend my friends! Nestled on Divisadero just a couple blocks away from walking around Japantown is a great cozy outing for a first date, light bite, drinks... you name it! I came around 3:00pm on a weekend and it was not busy at all, you still need to call to make a reservation to book a table with a card under your name as seats get very very limited during dinner hours. This time around I got.... Chicken & waffles 4/5- The syrup and butter was a very unique spin on a classic brunch staple! The strawberries and bananas along with the chicken breast piece complimented each other perfectly with sweet, saltiness, and some savory earthy flavors from the matcha. It reminded me of pink elephants chicken and waffles! (Unfortunately They're closed now... :( ) Chicken katsu sando 3/5 - I honestly wish there was an even distribution of the sauces they used, it was only in the center. I feel like the should honestly be paired with regular fries at its price point. Very filling BIG sandwich but flavor profile wise?... there's better sando places out there And now the star of the show.... DUCK FAT FRIES You HAVE to come here solely for these fries. Imagine if McDonald's French fries were fresh, delicious, crispy and full of flavor. Paired with a curry ketchup sauce made in house... this is something that I can't find anywhere else. read more

I visited Horsefeather with 6 of my friends recently for dinner. Originally, we made a reservation for 6 people, and the restaurant was able to accommodate a 7th. We sat outside in the parklet under a heater, which was very warm and comfortable. We ordered 2 orders of duck fat fries and 1 order of the broccolini for the table. The fries were crunchy and the duck fat was delicious. The broccolini was citrusy and fresh. I then ordered the mushroom linguine, and I'm not kidding when I say it was some of the best pasta I've ever had in my life. The umami flavors were rich and delicious, and the sauce was creamy. The shrimp risotto was also yummy. The restaurant, itself, is really cute inside and was full of people. I highly recommend making a reservation to guarantee a table. I am SO happy I tried this restaurant! read more

The restaurant was quite busy on a Friday night, but my friends and I luckily made reservations beforehand. Even with us coming at our reservation time, we waited 15 minutes before being seated at our outside high chair table. For drinks, we ordered their Ghost Town IPA, which had a crisp taste, and their Jack of Roses cocktail, which was refreshing and not too sweet. Risotto alla Milanese: smaller portion size than I had hoped, but was rich and not too heavy. Chicken Sandwich: wish that there was a greater ratio of chicken to bun, the chicken was crispy, juicy, and perfectly seasoned. Prawn Tacos: fresh and flavorful! Spinach Miso Mushroom Linguine: great portion of spinach & ingredients compared to the linguine, and it was creamy but light. The service and ambiance was good! read more

Overall, this is a really solid spot. I've come here a few times for cocktails (which are great) but this was the first time coming for dinner. My friend and I shared 2 apps and an entree and left full and satisfied. Fries- the fries side is a huge bowl and probably more than what's recommended for 1-2 people. That said we did finish the bowl with no regrets Wings- these were exceptional. The gochujang sauce was delicious and the wings were cooked well. Next time I'd ask for extra gochujang sauce for even more dunking Lemon Butter Prawns- the risotto had a bright lemony flavor. The prawns were a tad overcooked but tasty nonetheless. Came with 6 shrimp. Was a solid dish that was easy to share among a few people. Only negative is the water glasses are very small and when sitting at the bar, it's hard to get someone's attention to get more water. Would recommend personal water pitchers for each group. read more

My partner and I came here for a casual dinner and were pleasantly surprised by the great presentation, delicious food, and reasonable prices! Horsefeather definitely made a good impression on us. What we ordered: + Spinach Miso Mushroom Linguine (3.5/5) + Double Cheeseburger (5/5) + Roasted Cauliflower (4.5/5) + Whiskey Butter Cake (5/5) + Sun Never Sets (5/5) + It Ain't Me Babe (6/5) For the entrees: I thought the Spinach Miso Mushroom Linguine (3.5/5) was just ok. The linguine was a bit stiff, there was barely any sauce or spinach or flavor, and the mushrooms felt rubbery. The Double Cheeseburger (5/5) was a pretty good cheeseburger, and the portion of fries was very large! For sides: The Roasted Cauliflower (4.5/5) is very tasty and refreshing, but needs to come with more sauce and salt. I would definitely reorder the Whiskey Butter Cake (5/5) again-- it was crunchy, sweet, fluffy... I'm drooling just thinking about it again. :3 For the cocktails: The Sun Never Sets (5/5) and It Ain't Me Babe (6/5) were both refreshing, fruity, sweet, and strong!! And at $16, it's such a steal for alcoholic drinks in the city. Horsefeather blew my expectations away! I would definitely come back to try other entrees and order more of their delicious, well-priced cocktails. The patio was breezy but still warm during sunset, and our experience was quite enjoyable. read more

Great spot for a girls night catch up! Highly, highly, HIGHLY recommend the duck fat French fries!

Food, service and deffffinitely ambiance - Horsefeather on Divisadero checks all the boxes for a perfect late night dinner with great cocktails. We ordered the goat cheese artichoke dip and shared the miso mushroom carbonara, and we savored every bite. Let's dive in. Miso mushroom carbonara (9/10): The sauce was so creamy and cheesy and clinged to the noodle super well. Well portioned dish and I love the savory bites of the mushroom in between. Goat cheese artichoke dip (10/10): I'm a huuge fan of goat cheese and this dip had a perfect balance between the gamy taste of the cheese with the buttery artichoke. Bread was warm and paired well. We also had the Jack of Roses and the Birds of a Feather cocktail at $16 each. Both were really complex and tasty but we both preferred the Birds of a Feather! I'd say the best part of this place was the stellar and warm service and the unbeatable ambiance. The atmosphere is dimly lit, the ceiling is adorned with hanging vines, and the floor is bustling with people standing and chatting while sipping drinks. It's an ideal spot to unwind and chat or catch up with friends. We also got to check out the bars next door since there's so much to do on this little street. Will be coming back! read more

This was way better than I anticipated. Came on a Wednesday night and I was surprised by the amount of people there - luckily we had reservations. They let me sit even though I was early and I was the only one in my party there. Got seated in the outdoor area that was connected to the restaurant and it was great because inside sounded a bit too loud. The food was solid. I got the cheeseburger after reading that someone else recommended it and it was good. The pickles were yummy but I wish they gave more. The fries were sooo good - that touch of curry was great. My favorite dish though was the ceviche. I was so surprised because I didn't even want to try it but everyone else did so we got it. The flavors were delish & the chips that it came with were great. Highly recommend this item. read more

Really enjoyed the tomato soft scramble (perfectly fluffy eggs) and the BLT on josey baker toast was also very flavorful (and the bread was delicious).

Horsefeather is an awesome spot for good food and solid drinks. Located right next to some great bars as well, which make it a great starting spot for a night out. We ordered the duck fat fries which were a necessity. Bowl was clean within minutes of the waiter putting it down at our table. We also got the deviled eggs which have an interesting acidity / Asian twist to them. Burger was the highlight of the night though. Super well cooked and comes with home made pickles - probably some of the best pickles I've ever had. Also went for the bacon add on which added a nice texture and introduced some sweetness to the bite, totally worth it. Would definitely come back here again! read more

What a cute place...a community place for individuals on their laptop, some sitting around talking... and others like myself for dinner. It's a nice space that is more social gathering, quick drinks or lunch (in my opinion). My party and I meet for dinner. The good & bad.... the plates are small for top dollar. By small I mean some of the main plates are serving size normally seem with appetizers. With that limitation acknowledged... the food is excellent. I ordered the cobb salad off the main ... size was small, but perfect. I was still hungry, so ordered an additional main of Mushroom Rissoto. The Rissoto was perfect!! Other dishes ordered at the table was a chicken sandwich with fries, duck fat fries (just ok), tacos & another cobb. All plates were prepared perfectly... all parties thought good was good. I would suggest eating here, but eventhough it was full at dinner time... I'd suggest lunch. The food is very good, but pricey for quantity. read more
