Admittedly, I walked in here 15 minutes before close :((( The workers kindly cooked me up a burger. It didn't look great; tasted ok. The fries were nice and crispy. read more

Consistently wonderful. Don't sleep on the chili cheese tots or the cheesesteaks. If you order a large cheesesteak it's just two regular cheesesteaks -- I like to save myself one for lunch the next day. They reheat really well in the oven. read more

I heard about Metro Caffe on 95.7 when their owner stopped by the set and I quickly learned their spot was in my neighborhood! I got the Philly cheesesteak and it was by far the best cheesesteak I've had in the city. The bread was soft, cheese was the star, and the peppers were spicy which I like and very complimentary. The staff was super nice too. Very friendly and welcoming dudes with a smile. Will be back here again! read more

It was my first time eating here; i got the Deluxe burger,it was juicy and very flavorful, one of the best burgers i've had in a while, and i also got the tots, they were really crispy. I will come here whenever i'm craving a burger tho forsure! read more

Excellent food, quick delivery. I can't eat spicy food and sometimes the special instructions of "no spicy peppers " is missed and I can't eat the cheese steak sandwich but for the most part everything tastes good. If you want a good cheese steak sandwich - this is a good place. read more

Before there was Run's House, Family Matters, or The fresh Prince of Bel-Air. My favorite show on tv was the Cosby Show. One thing Mr. Huxtable loved is Hoagies. I thought of this while looking at Metro's menu of hoagie cheesesteaks and burgers. There was one episode of the rules of eating hoagies at the Huxtable Men's Club: First rule of the Huxtable Men's Club: No Women, you can't enjoy eating because then you have to use napkins! Second rule: If you can find a good woman, the Huxtable men's meeting is canceled. Rule three: If you get rid of the other members you can eat All the Hoagies to yourself! Here's a clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2nvhLbDhKyY&feature=youtube_gdata_player So coming to Metro Caffe today I stuck with the rules. No women. Check. No napkins. Check. No other members. Check. So here's my order: Bacon cheesesteak: At Metro they use ribeye steak in the cheesesteak. What's better than ribeye and bacon? One of the better cheesesteaks I've ever had. Fries: regular cut fries that are a must with a cheesesteak. Like a bag of Lay's with your deli sandwich. Or shrimp on my grits.. What? I like shrimp with my grits! A good cheesesteak that Heathcliff Huxtable would have probably ate on the show if given the opportunity. All in All I had an excellent Huxtable Men's Club meeting. Meeting adjourned.. read more

Stopped by for lunch today and had a cheese steak hoagie. Excellent sandwhich!! It had been quite awhile since i had eaten here, but still quality ingredients and nice service. I'll be back for sure read more

Wanted to catch up with a friend over burgers, they chose this spot as their go-to for the neighborhood. No frills, just food. Not my favorite cheeseburger, but it's definitely a solid one and even better with bacon. They make their bacon crispy so it's almost like biting into a chip when you bite into your burger. As much as I love juicy pieces, this made eating the burger as a whole easier (no bacon tugs!) and texturally appealing. Overall, solid spot. Would go again! read more

GREAT Food !! Fresh and very tasty !! Omar the owner is a very nice guy that provides great customer service ! Worth every dime and beats " fast food " anytime ! Food is served quickly and to perfection !! read more

Found this little gem in lower Haight through some local recommendations on the best food this side of the Bay. Wasn't disappointed! Fiance and I walked into this little eatery and were greeted with a smile from the gentleman and his son manning the till and grill. We ordered the fish n'chips and the mushroom steak sandwich. We sat down on a small table to the side of the entrance where we could feel the Bay breeze while we waited. Our food was brought to our table with the fixings very shortly after ordering. The food was fresh, hot and extremely flavorful. We enjoyed every morsel! The tartar sauce was fresh and tangy, fish was crispy and fluffy while the old English vinegar was delectably chilled and tart; the perfect accompaniment to fish n'chips. The mushroom steak sandwich was also a delight. It was served on warm toasted bread with melted cheese and quality cuts of mushrooms and steak. It's no mistake this place has been around for thirty years. We will be back to try more of the menu - wishing we could take a time machine back to when everything was served on fresh Amoroso rolls containing the original recipe of Randy Brewer. The first owner of the Metro Caffe. Do not pass this place up. Experience great food, people and local history in one quaint cafe. read more

One star for the delicious sandwich and one star for the nice guys behind the counter. PLEASE BRING CASH TO TIP THE STAFF. To the owner, Omar: please help your employees earn a more livable wage by adding the option to tip on credit cards. This is a hard city to work in a restaurant and not get tips. Do that and I'll bump my star rating up to reflect my love for the cheesesteaks. read more

Small, no frills "cafe" with great burgers. I had the pastrami cheesesteak which was very good; wife had the deluxe metro burger which was great. Sides of tater tots & onion rings were perfect partners. Will definitely return to try other sandwiches. Highly recommended. read more

When you use top grade ribeye beef for your Philly cheesesteaks and good local California beef pattiesfor your cheeseburgers and also white American cheese...you're 5-stars in my books! The owner was in and chatted with us for a bit even though Metro was a bit busy with local walk in togo patrons. Thanks to Yelp once again for giving Metro high ratings. We walked over from the Haight/Ashbury residents and truly enjoyed Metro's service, burgers, TOTS and fries. Metro is a local neighborhood burger joint that you must try if you're in the area. read more

Sometimes you just want a casual cheesesteak, hot dog, or burger and Metro Caffe is the spot for that if you're in the Lower Haight area. Good tasting cheesesteak and the regular size is pretty solid. The jalapeno poppers were good too. While I was expecting the prices to be a little cheaper, it overall wasn't too bad. read more

I had a mad hankering for some chili cheese fries the other day, so I consulted yelp and yelp did not disappoint! My wife and I were surprised when we walked it- it was quite small- but they had exactly what I wanted on the menu. I opted for chili cheese tots as opposed to fries for max crunch factor, and we split a metro cheesesteak (spicy!) and a hot dog. The dog comes griddled and split, on a bun with burger toppings (lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles and mayo). I added mustard and ketchup and it was DIVINE. The cheesesteak was amazing, next time I might ask for double meat. The tots were also great, but next time I'll ask for cheese on the side because they got extremely soggy quickly. read more

Probably the best cheesesteaks I've had in San Francisco. The location is also a big plus as well, but still...I can't think of a better cheesesteak in SF. If beer were a dollar or two less, then this place would be perfect, but as it is, it's outstanding. read more

The BEST tater tots I've had in a long time. Good size portion, SUPER CRISPY, golden brown and perfect.

We wereblooking for a good cheesesteak and chose to ask a friend his recommendation. I have to admit I was a little wary of a place that makes other things other than cheesesteak. This is now a go to spot for a cheesesteak go for the metro get the American cheese. Don't be wary they make a great cheesesteak perfect ratios of cheese ,peppers, and onions. read more

I made a quick visit to meet a client in the Haight. And thanks to her and showing my fatigueness on my body, she suggested this small burger place along that busy intersection of Haight and Fillmore St. As small as this place, lack of any signs and the dark and nasty Saturday afternoon weather, I had trouble finding this place. Even with my company's cruiser, parking was also a nightmare too. Eventually, I did find parking after numerous trips around the neighborhood. This place is indeed small, with four indoor tables and two outdoors. With the nasty rain, who would want to eat outside? Looking at the menu posted on the board above the cashier and kitchen, the prices are quite reasonable; with all burgers, cheesesteaks and other sandwiches slightly priced under $7.00. The small restaurant also serve Garden and Boca Burgers for all you vegetarians. I had the #6, which is the "Blue Burger". My burger has Bacon, melted Blue Cheese and the usual condiment on your typical burger. All burgers including mine are made from Niman Ranch. And despite being really greasy, the mixture key ingredients with the burger was solid. I also added fries and soda for $2.00 extra. My burger: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/xSWJlaiXDSMHyNpOAIYJqg?select=hnq0-mnksmPAd_vvYDJ8gA This place is cash only. But there is an in-house ATM machine. No public restroom. The joint is located across the street from Walgreens and Three Twin Ice Crem parlor on Fillmore St. side. And since you're in the neighborhood, go to Walgreens and get some hand-sanitizer and mint as well. read more

METRO CAFFE?? Coffee shop near a muni station in the heart of Union Square??. NOPE!! Metro Caffe is located in the lower haight on Fillmore and You CAN HAZ CHEEZBURGERS, CHEESESTEAKS, and TOTS!! * T- iny, all-american, greasy hole in the wall with drip-down-your-elbow, heart-attack-inducing BURGERS, not a foo-foo one by any means. It was big and hunky, so hunky the patty rested in all its gleaming glory to cover the bottom bun. Sweeeeeeeeeeeeet. CHEEZYSTEAK was not as pretty and by pretty I mean it didn't have that greasy hotmessness- similar to one you'd find at PHAT PHILLY'S, missing that deliciously juicy fatty beefy taste. it actually didn't really taste like anything!! How does that happen??! WHERE'S DA BEEF!?? * O-utdoor seating! Sit street side and people watch or just stare directly across the street at Three Twins anticipating the delicious ice cream to follow your fattylicious lunch. * T- OTS!!! I'd come back just for the tots. Napoleon was no idiot. TOTS are the bee's knees. I'd stuff them in my purse and in my pockets. * S-COUTMOB!! I wouldn't have found this place without my lovely scoutmob handy!! Cheers to you! GO FIND YOUR OWN TOTS!! read more

Meh. Ordered the philly with peppers onions and a side of fries. Got a philly with little meat, hardly any peppers, and a tiny bit of onions. My friend ordered a side of onion rings and got 5 of them. Yes, 5 onion rings for $2.00. I see no reason to return to this place seeing how there's so much good food on this block. I used to get better philly cheese steaks in Austin, and that's just plain sad. read more

Ok. So, I'm from the Philadelphia area and I have pretty high standards when it comes to cheesesteak. The cheesesteak at Metro Caffe was not like the ones in Philly, but it was definitely the next best thing. Melty cheese, and the steak was cooked well. I was impressed. I will definitely be back. Cash only for orders under $10. read more

Metro Caffe - Original cheesesteak! - Burgers Near Me - San Francisco, California

What started out as a plan to get sandwiches led to finding this little hidden gem. Whether it's a popular spot among the locals and the neighborhood, I don't know, but what I do know, its by far the best cheesesteak I've had in San Francisco. Let me preface by saying I wasn't in the mood for a greasy cheesesteak after recently weighing myself, but I figured I'd find something on the menu that would work for me. The shop itself is easy to miss with a very small storefront and street presence. The shop has little room inside and is mostly kitchen with two tables and one high top table near the window. Luckily if you're eating in, there's additional tables out front great for people watching. The menu is simple and has five main sections: burgers, cheesesteaks, vegetarian options, hot dogs, fries and sides and appetizers. I went with the Hogi Cheesesteak which is grilled with onions, hot and sweet peppers, mayo, lettuce and tomato. Every cheesesteak comes with the option of steak or chicken. I chose the chicken option with a side of small fries. The cheesesteak cost me $8.95 for a small while the larger option runs for $13.95 and the side of fries cost $2.75. Considering it was the lunch hour, we were surprised at how empty the shop was and within 10 minutes I had my order. I have to admit that as soon as I was given my cheesesteak and fries, my mouth was watering. As I waited for my co-worker's sandwich to come out, I nibbled on the fries which were fried nicely and had a good crisp to them. Once I took a bite of my chicken cheesesteak, I was instantly hooked. The sandwich was piled high with chicken, grilled onions, hot and sweet peppers and plenty of lettuce and tomato. I'll admit that the sandwich was great, easily the best cheesesteak I've had in the city, but if I could change anything, I'd simply ask for no mayo. I was pretty skeptical about Metro Caffe but after giving it a chance, I can definitely say I'll be coming back on a regular basis. The menu has enough options that you don't need to be in the mood for a cheesesteak and their prices don't kill your wallet. Additionally, if you can split a large sandwich with someone, you'll save a few bucks and have more than enough food. Overall, a great lunch spot that serves delicious cheesteaks with fast and efficient service. Ambiance/Decor: 2/5 Food: 4/5 Service: 4/5 Price: $ Overall: 4/5 Pros: + Delicious hogi chicken cheesesteak + Plenty of variations of the classic cheesesteak + A Large sandwich can easily be shared with 2 people + Fries and other fried sides available + Reasonable prices and portion sizes + Beer available + Accepts credit cards + Street parking available Cons: - Limited seating read more

Metro Caffe - Hogi Cheesesteak (chicken) and a small side of fries - Burgers Near Me - San Francisco, California

I was looking for a place to eat in the lower Haight that was fast and not too expensive. Well I only had a credit card so cheap went out the door, they had a minimum $10 charge for credit card. I got a mushroom cheesesteak and tator tots. They friend their tators really well, perfectly crispy on the outside, yum! They were out of a frozen bag, nothing special but good. Now the cheesesteak, um first bite the cheese tasted like processed cheese but I'm not sure, could be swiss? The meat was minced to the point it tasted like ground beef. I guess when I think of philly cheesesteak I expect long stringy cheese and slices of meat, not minced meat. It was just ok, I ate it all. Oh the bread was not bad. read more

This is sort of an average burger and cheese steak joint located in the middle of Fillmore residential area. The actual restaurant doesn't have great seating options for big groups, 6 of us had to squeeze in two small tables and steal chairs from outside. It's super casual and you should come with just 1-2 people. I was with a bunch of friends and we decided to meet here to eat. They have a minimum of $10 charge on the credit card so remember to bring cash. I had the metro burger. The cook asks how you want the burger, and I had it well done. It comes with fresh lettuce, tomatoes between 2 buns. Pretty average but filling. However I didn't like paying $7.34 (with tax) for an average burger. I would give it a 4 stars but the burger was just alright. The cheese steaks looked really delicious. A regular cheese steak would be about ~$7.50-8 while a large cheese steak is ~$11.25. The large is definitely worth the money. A large gets you 2 regular cheese steaks. It's hidden at the bottom of the menu. Just order one large and split it with someone else!!! I would also definitely recommend getting the onion rings and chili cheese fries. Everything they do is made fresh and on the spot. Within 10 minutes they will get you your order. read more

While waiting for Toronado to open one sunny afternoon, my husband and I were hungry and looking for a tasty lunch. The allure of cheese-steaks was too much for him to pass up so he begged me to oblige. I'm not usually the hugest fan of cheese-teaks- I find the meat to usually be tough and don't get much thrill from peppers and onions. But, I am a good wife who compromises so we went in. I ordered the bacon and steak with cheese and no peppers or onions. The counter employee was friendly and helped us with our suggestions. He did not give me any grief for not wanting the peppers and onions either. My husband got a classic cheese-steak and we split an order of fries. The second the food was dropped I knew I was in for a treat. The sandwich was spectacular. The meat was finely chopped, which meant I didn't have to gnaw on dry, tough steak. The cheese melted perfectly and I loved the additional fat and smoky flavor the bacon added- which was finely chopped as well- perfectly. I gobbled down the entire thing and declared that if all cheeses-teaks were that good, I would eat them all the time. The fries were tasty too and sitting out on the sidewalk made for a perfect lunch. read more
