    One of the best cheesesteaks I've had by far in the sco
    Alexander N.

    Everything off the menu is fire! You can taste the quality and love they put into their food. The owner is a native and you can feel the love every time we come in.

    Heard about this spot listening to the Morning Roast on 95.7 The Game radio station, people were raving about the cheesesteaks and finally Mae it over. After trying, definitely ranks in the top 2 cheesesteaks I've had in the city. The bread is perfect. Toasted, yet airy, it's one of the best rolls I've had on a cheesesteak, ever. The meat was tasty, mixed with a good amount of cheese, very well done. The only thing that I'd do next time is skip the hot and sweet peppers. The peppers were a little overpowering flavor wise. We also got an order of chicken wings with the hot flavor. Wish they were a bit crispier as it had a very soft and slimey mouthfeel. The fries were cool, added some salt to round em out. The food takes sometime, but that's ok bc the cheesesteak was fresh. Definitely would recommend if you are looking for a tasty cheesesteak. If I lived in the area, I'd be a regular for sure

    Solid Philly cheesesteaks here. I actually liked the peppers contrary to some other reviews. I kinda wish I didn't get something with lettuce and tomatoes so they could fill it with more of the meat, peppers, and cheese - the one thing that this cheese steak lacks is a good amount of cheese. The spot is tiny, and the service is ok - but they don't have free water and after eating during a heatwave they lost some points from me for making all the drinks so expensive.

    Burger

    First time at Metro Caffe and all I got was a blue cheese burger. The service was very quick, which was great. But I was disappointed with the size of the burger patty. It was extremely thin. So if you're looking for your burger meat fix, you may want to go somewhere else.

    Store

    Walked in and could tell the man at the front counter was the owner. When I see an owner at his business front working I know the place is going to be great. Food was fresh and good! Vibes were dope.

    Friesssss!

    Had an incredible burger here last night. This is a legit San Francisco institution, I got to talk with the owner for a few minutes and he is a really cool guy. Our burgers were fantastic (I got the blue burger which has bacon and some really good blue cheese), I got mine medium well and it was cooked perfectly. The bacon was also hella good. The fries were incredible, kind of like Berkeley institution The Smokehouse but better seasoned and better fried. I recommend this spot to anyone looking for a great burger in San Francisco, will come back to try the fish and chips and the wings and another burger :) Also there is seating for a few people there and we were able to park right outside at like 745pm on a Tuesday which is crazy for sf. 10/10 no notes

    In the Lower Haight? In the mood for a burger? Look no further. I always order the no frills cheeseburger, no fries, or the meatless garden burger. The place is one step away from dive, in a good way. I nominate them for legacy business. Support local!

    Cute little place off Haight Street
    Jennifer O.

    Sweet little spot, a few small tables to dine in if you're not taking out though it seems that's most of their business, especially third party apps. Very nice owner, polite, he and his right hand got down to work on our order in their small but tidy, clean space. Onion rings are **bomb and so is the cheeseburger that was absolutely juicy and delicious. The fish & chips were just okay, frozen fish filets, nothing extra. But the burger and onion rings- for those alone, go! Prices reasonable, accepts credit cards.

    Metro Caffe is alright. I got a Philly cheesesteak today to try it during work lunch. It was $12 and $3 for a limonata. It's overpriced. Cheesesteaks are street food. They are good in SF. Got the referral in high school after visiting PHILADELPHIA. San Francisco Philly cheesesteaks are ok.

    Boca Cheesesteak and tots - really good but the hot peppers were too much
    Mike B.

    Desperate for a non-meat cheesesteak to be delivered for a lunch break I had to work through... I ordered the Boca Cheesesteak, tater tots, and a side of cheese for dipping purposes. Everything was good but I suspect I know how to make it great: Boca Cheesesteak - Ground Boca meatless burger, cheese, onions, hot + sweet peppers. Next time, I'll skip the hot peppers. They were tasty but overwhelmed the rest of the flavor, so eventually I just tasted heat on (really good, fresh) bread. I'd also get extra cheese since there was barely any. Tater Tots - Really good deep fried tots but they did not send the dipping cheese I ordered and paid for. If I had that cheese dip, the tots would have been excellent. So I'll probably order again with those changes and see if it elevates from "good" to "great".

On our recent visit, I wanted my wife to experience their cheesesteak for herself. Parking is street parking only, so good luck -- you'll probably have to circle the block a few times before finding a spot. The place itself is small, with just a handful of tables, but it's the food you come for, not the ambiance. What made their cheesesteak stand out for me years ago were the sweet peppers. Unfortunately, they no longer use the same brand (they used to have San-Del sweet pepper strips in sweet brine). Now they use hot cherry peppers that appear to be canned specifically for them. It's not quite the same as I remember, but still good enough that I'd come back. My wife and I both had the original cheesesteak, and you can't leave without getting their steak fries -- they're a must. We enjoyed our meal, and I'd definitely stop by again if parking's available. This place has been around forever, and for good reason. Give it a try if you're in the neighborhood. Prices are standard for San Francisco.

Instead of poking around Yelp for inspiration, I decided to head out to Columbus Ave on foot around midnight on a Friday; smart move, right? As I sauntered past couple convenience stores, strip joints and pizza shops, I landed on Buster's. The brightly lit exterior and bustling interior piqued my interest. How had I never seen this place before? As soon as I stepped in, the smokey aroma of grilled beef and vegetables gave me hope. Without hesitation, I ordered the mushroom Philly cheesesteak with garlic fries. The to-go order was complete within a couple of minutes, and I didn't hesitate asking for a few square containers. (The sauce selection is admirable) I was seemingly able to walk back home at 3x the speed in which I arrived, and I fully attribute that to the anticipation of my first bite. After my first bite, I knew Busters was legit. The quality ingredients, well seasoned vegetables and crispy fries hit the spot; the portions were very generous as well. Highly recommend this place!

And was probably the cheapest meal we had on our whole trip! The service was fast but they didn't seem to enthusiastic about serving people. They worked fast and minded their business. We ate inside and weren't really approached or asked if we were missing anything. Felt awkward to be there .

I corrected her while she was plating in a 'to go' container and apologized that I had asked for wrap. She graciously pivoted and made the 'plate' into a wrap. No problem. And although I made her pivot on the making of my order, she wrote a nice note on the outside of the parchment paper, 'Thank You '. It was a flavorful shawarma wrap and I would stop here again if I were in the area. My only complaint would be to turn down the loud ethnic music, which contributed to the miscommunication. I'm sure I'm not the first customer to not hear what the sandwich maker is saying. If your customers can't hear what is being said, turn the music down! You'll probably make less mistakes and make more money.
