Came for the ricotta pancakes and they did not disappoint! Highly recommend the plow as it has 2 lemon ln ricotta pancakes with potatoes eggs and choice of protein (we got bacon)! We also got the custard French toast which was soooo good. It would have been too sweet on its own for me but with the plow it was perfect! This is such a great brunch spot and the reason you will wait even 30 minutes on a Tuesday at 10am. Weekends get wild so plan accordingly. No reservation system! Lots of lovely outdoor and indoor seating! Great ambiance in portero hills. Will be coming back. Worth the wait!!! read more

Heard this was a staple brunch spot in San Francisco and stopped by. Approximate wait time was about 30- 45 minutes but waited ended up waiting over an hour to be seated outside for a party of four. There are a few tables outside the restaurant that are slanted on a small hill and a platform with a few tables on the street. We were seated on a table on the hill and had to be mindful of fluids/sauces filled to the brim. Blankets are also provided on each chair in case it gets breezy outside. The menu is set daily, so the dishes can vary from what's shown in previous photos. After ordering, it took over 30 minutes for our food to arrive. The summer vegetable hash comes with beans, squash, tomatoes, corn, carrots, peppers and eggs. I typically associate hash with potatoes, but surprisingly this dish does not come with potatoes. The dish was fairly mild, with most of the flavor coming from the individual vegetables. It's definitely a lighter, healthier take on hash and would be a good option if you're looking for something with more vegetables. The plow comes with eggs, lemon ricotta pancakes, potatoes and choice of meat. The lemon riccota pancakes were the star of the dish- light, fluffy and not too sweet. The potatoes were crispy. The steak + eggs was a hearty option. The steak was tender and juicy and went well with the chermoula sauce. Overall, I'm glad I got to try this restaurant at least once, but hesistant to come back because of the long wait and value of each plate. read more

It seems the stars just keep lowering each time I come . ANY time I am in the city, I subject whoever I'm with to the wait with the promise that it will all be worth it. I fear this time, it was not. We waited 1.5 hours and honored our request to not sit directly in the sun but ended up sitting us VERY closely to the table next week to us. When my bf went to the restroom, it almost felt like I was with the other party. Not a sentence goes unheard. I get you are busy but don't ruin the experience for guests! Give us some space to breathe! Especially outside !!! The food itself was mediocre this time around. I kept bragging about the crispy potatoes but it didn't taste the same as the 7 times I've come before. Not crispy at all. The biscuit was also more of a crumbly coffee cake rather than a flaky biscuit. And not enough butter! The only thing that was still a 10/10 was the lemon ricotta pancakes. I'm sad that I will no longer be coming here but maybe it's time to start going somewhere with reservations! read more

Super Popular Brunch Spot. Long Wait Times Even Weekdays. Food Taken When Still Eating. Unkind, Rude Service. No Coffee or Condiments even after asking multiple times. Indoor and Outdoor Seating. More Expensive than Other San Francisco Brunch Spots. Unmemorable Food and Drinks. Paid Meters and Residential Parking. Lively Ambiance Inside with Loud Music. Overall, each of my visits to Plow over the years has been worst than the last, unfortunately, as I keep returning hoping for better but walk out even more disappointed. However, I wish the restaurant the best. read more

Plow - The Plow, French Toast, Soft Scrambled Eggs - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - San Francisco, California

Phenomenal breakfast. We arrived on a Sunday at 8:30 and had a 45-minute wait. We got seated at the counter which I loved, because it was roomy and we got to see the cooks in action. The most popular order seemed to be the plow which came with a heaping of food and is large enough to share. I ordered a scrambled egg on the side with a honey butter biscuit while my husband ordered the prosciutto and Gruyere toast and a lemon ricotta pancake. The potatoes are an absolute must have. They're boiled then fried so they're soft and buttery inside with crispy edges on the outside and perfectly seasoned. The toast was a homemade loaf sliced thick, toasted with a slab of Gruyere on top that's melted, prosciutto, a beautiful sunny side egg, chili crisp, and some greens. The pancake on the side was yummy. The wait is worth it so don't arrive hangry because there will be a wait and potentially a long one depending on when you arrive. Order the potatoes. Order another side of them if you're sharing because you'll fight over them. read more

Plow is definitely worth the wait! Our group got a delicious smorgasbord of plates Lemon ricotta pancakes - absolutely delicious. Not too sweet - loaded with flavor Fried egg sandwich - pairs great if you split the lemon pancakes - sweet and savory - definitely add the bacon!

This is an incredibly popular restaurant in the Dogpatch district of SF. The wait time on a holiday weekend was about 1.5hrs. There is some room to sit as you wait and there seems to be plenty of street parking around. The inside is cozy and I was tickled by their menu. They print a new menu daily! I wonder if they vary the menu by the day. We liked everything that we tried! We shared a biscuit and Hong Kong Toast. The toast was a little burnt and you could taste that through the condensed milk. The biscuit with the honey butter was delicious! These make great shareables because they're a lot on their own. The plow is a great sampler breakfast platter and I'm so glad they offer that! It comes with 2 lemon ricotta pancakes, choice of eggs and protein! Huge portions and I shared this with my husband! We really enjoyed the food and would love to return when we're next in SF! read more

Diner food at its best. I don't visit often, so I tend to stick with the classics (The Plow, Custard French Toast, etc.), but everything I have tried so far has been excellent. As other Yelpers have mentioned, the wait can be incredibly painful. I most recently visited for weekday lunch (random Wednesday at 11:30am), and the wait was still 20-30 minutes for a party of 3 (which pales in comparison to the 2+ hour wait I have been quoted for the weekend). They offer both indoor and outdoor seating (with blankets for the latter on chilly days, which is much appreciated). The service is friendly and efficient, and the food comes out pretty quickly. Definitely worth a visit. I personally would never wait for longer than 30-40 minutes, but I would say the same for most restaurants. read more

Plow has been on my list of spots to try for over a decade. I finally had the opportunity to check them out on a random early Thursday morning around 7:15am. There were 2 other tables occupied and the server seated our party of 2 next to another table of 2. We were literally arm and arm with our neighbors. I asked for a different table and then got seated next to the other table of 2, which was another arm and arm situation. Finally, I asked if the counter was available, which was where we ended up having breakfast. That was super awkward to say the least. Not just for us, but to the other patrons since there were so many empty tables, including outside tables. Totally understand in trying to maximize seating, but that morning wasn't hustling or bustling with patrons. Good brunch options weren't as plentiful 10+ years ago as it is now. For the price and quality/quantity of our Plow brunch, it was underwhelming. I opted for the Soft Scramble and saw the eggs were from a pre-mixed carton (don't even think they're real eggs). However, The Plow included real eggs, saw the chef crack open the eggs on the grill-top. Sitting at the counter has advantages to see what and how the chefs are cooking. Service started off on the wrong foot with the seating situation, and can't say that it improved. Overall, this experience was just ok. I don't need to come again, I've satisfied my Plow inqueries. #13/2026 read more

I came to Plow this Monday by myself for a quick brunch close to 1pm and only had to wait around 10-15 minutes! I was seated by a very lovely server who was super helpful and attentive. The atmosphere was lively and it was a pretty nice day to sit outside. I didn't get to stay very long but the food was actually so good and the iced matcha was incredibly refreshing! I absolutely have to come here with my husband next time. read more

If you're looking for the quintessential SF brunch, Plow is it. Tucked away on a quiet corner in Potrero Hill, it has all the charm of a neighborhood diner without the downtown chaos. The residential setting is part of the appeal - you can actually spread out, and it's a lovely area to wander while you wait for a table (and you will wait, so plan for it). The outdoor seating is the way to go. Indoor feels cramped. On cooler mornings they'll even hand you a blanket. Sitting outside on that peaceful corner watching the neighborhood wake up is a charming experience. Only downside of dining al fresco: a fly landed on my sausage. But credit to the staff - the waiter noticed and brought out a fresh plate without me even having to ask. That kind of attentive service goes a long way. The food lives up to the hype. The lemon ricotta pancakes are the star for good reason. They were light, fluffy, and not too sweet. The crispy potatoes were excellent too, just be warned they come out scorching hot (I burned the roof of my mouth going in too eager). Give them a minute to cool. Upside of parking on the top of that steep hill is that you'll burn off your breakfast calories getting back to your car. read more

We finally made it to Plow in Potrero Hill after hearing so much hype about it. We expected the hour wait since it's such a popular brunch spot, and honestly sitting outside on a beautiful San Francisco morning in Potrero Hill made the wait pretty enjoyable. The neighborhood itself has such a great atmosphere. Unfortunately, the food didn't really live up to the reputation for us. I ordered the fried egg sandwich, while my partner got The Plow with eggs, lemon ricotta pancakes, potatoes, and bacon. The breakfast sandwich was basically just egg and cheese with a tiny handful of frisée. Adding bacon or avocado was another $5-6 each on top of an already $18 sandwich, which felt excessive considering how simple it was. The potatoes had good seasoning, but they were pretty undercooked in my opinion. The lemon ricotta pancakes were also disappointing. They were dense, dry, and almost biscuit-like rather than light and fluffy. The bacon and fresh orange juice were both good, though. Overall, the experience and setting were enjoyable, but the food itself just didn't feel worth the hype or price point. read more

Went to SF and decided to try Plow. What a gem of a restaurant. Light, bright, clean and packed with hungry fans. We be ordered their namesake the Plow. Lemon ricotta pancakes, crispy potatoes, an egg with house made sausage. And an order of sourdough toast and two eggs. Delicious. A little hint. The sausage was a bit spicy for those that don't do spice. The pancakes were tiny but still plentiful. The crispy potatoes are awesomely perfect. read more

FYI: come here on a weekday if you're not looking to wait an hour for a table my sister had an early layover in san francisco coming back from her asia trip so we went to plow because i live literally a 10 minute walk away! and it was also her birthday 2 days before her layover so we were doing a belated celebration. WHAT I GOT: the plow PROS: those lemon ricotta pancakes were as good as they say. super fluffy, great lemon flavor, balanced out the rest of the heavier, greasier items on the plate nicely. they were absolutely delicious. the potatoes were also up there. super crispy and flavorful. service was speedy and friendly with no line at all when we got there. granted we arrived at like 8am on a thursday morning but within the next 10-15 minutes of us arriving, most of the tables inside were occupied. CONS: ok i know this is me complaining about something that's just a "san francisco" thing, but i feel like the portion size did not match that $26 price tag. yes, the pancakes were delicious, but i was expecting them to be a bit bigger for how much i was paying. like they don't have to be diner sized but it just felt a bit underwhelming. read more

We arrived at Plow around 1pm on a Sunday, and the wait was about an hour. The first available table was in the parklet, so we opted to sit outside. We ordered two Plow plates -- one with the house-made pork sausage and the other with the chicken apple sausage. We also swapped the lemon ricotta pancakes on one of the plates for the almond flour pancakes so we could try both. Everything was well executed. The potatoes were nicely cooked with plenty of crispy pieces, and the eggs came out exactly as we requested. Both sausages were flavorful, although we both slightly preferred the chicken apple sausage. The pancakes were the only part of the meal that didn't quite win us over. The texture was softer and mushier than we expected. We were hoping for something a bit lighter and cakier. Between the two, my boyfriend preferred the almond flour pancakes. Overall, I think Plow is worth trying, but it's not a place I'm in a rush to return to. read more

First time here after many attempts of eating brunch! We put our name down at 11am and was told to come back after 2-2.5 hours for a table of six. We popped by Ilea coffee and went to Breadbelly bakery short drive away. For the wait, I don't think I would come back. It's decent brunch food but nothing that can't be done somewhere else like at Sweet Maple or Wooden Spoon. The only standout is the Ricotta pancake which is very creamy yet cakey, and not too sweet. read more

French toast - it's huge, definitely shareable. I like the crisp edges, it's not overly sweet and the whipped cream adds a creamy sweet touch! really fluffy and simple, super delicious! Came at 7:45AM on a Sunday and there was already a line forming outside shop. Highly recommend coming at least 20 min before opening to get a table inside. Staff friendly and food came out quick and warm! read more

Our friends who live in SF brought us here and they played it like pros. They drove over early, put our name down, scooped us up from the hotel, and timed it so we walked back just as our table was ready. That's the move because a table for 4 at 10:35am on a Sunday meant a solid hour and a half wait. Rookie mistake if you don't plan ahead. One of my friends went to Berkeley and used to come here nearly 10 years ago. She swears it was great back then and somehow it's still just as good now which says everything. Spots like this don't usually keep that kind of consistency. We ordered the soft scramble, 2 fried egg sandwiches, and an eggs Benedict. Everything hit. The potatoes were exactly how brunch potatoes should be: crispy on the outside, tender inside, and well seasoned. My soft scramble with goat cheese and shiitake mushrooms was rich without being heavy. If you can outsmart the wait, it's absolutely worth it. Just don't show up hungry and clueless, have a game plan. read more

Had brunch at Plow for the first time. I'm local to SF and had been meaning to try it, but the wait was rough -- 2 hours on a Monday morning. That alone makes this a place I'd only revisit when I have plenty of time. The restaurant itself was clean, and the service was solid with no complaints there. I ordered the lemon piccata pancakes. I love lemon flavors, but the lemon curd topping was a little overpowering for me. Once I ate around some of the curd though, the pancakes themselves were delicious. The real standout was the potatoes -- absolutely amazing. The bacon was just as good and honestly ended up being my favorite part of the meal. Overall, no complaints about the food or service. Would I come back? Probably... but only if the wait wasn't so long. read more

YUM! I love breakfast at Plow. It's definitely less busy on weekdays, but you should still expect a wait. This place is that good. Small, cute little restaurant tucked away in Potrero Hill. Just a heads up if you're walking, it's up a STEEP hill. There are a few tables inside with some counter seating, plus outdoor tables if you luck out with a warm day. I've been twice and ordered The Plow Breakfast both times. It comes with two eggs, two lemon ricotta pancakes, Plow potatoes, and your choice of meat. I love the variety. The pancakes are little pillows of heaven and the potatoes are amazing. Safe to say I'll be back again and again. Plow never disappoints! read more

My absolute favorite brunch spot in SF. The wait is definitely worth it, but a trick is to put your name down, and the waiter will lyk when to return! So you can spend time doing something else during the 1-2hr wait. I typically put my name down around 10am, and I'll be seated by 11:30am. Parking is very easy to find in the neighborhood. The plow is a must order for first timers given you get to try a bit of everything. The pancake is fluffy. I love their potatoes, it's the best part of the meal. I also enjoyed their egg sandwich which is cheaper, and also fills you up with all the potatoes on the side. They have seats inside and outside, you can request your preference when you're putting your name down. Service is excellent. Vibe is perfect for a friends gathering. read more

Glad I came here on a weekday because it was only a 20 minute wait and ended up being mediocre. I would never wait hours in line just to eat brunch as mentioned by some of these other yelpers on the weekends. The service is a bit slow. I literally had to ask them if I could order. I liked the lemon ricotta pancakes and the lemon sauce was good however as for the French toast. It was so bland. They don't know how to make it here. It wasn't yummy at all. Also, got the prosciutto and Gruyere sandwich. They should put more prosciutto to the sandwich and more frisee as well. The potatoes were OK. As for the biscuit, it wasn't as soft as I hoped for like the outside of it was pretty hard, but I did like the honey butter. Also, it's a small restaurant with only one bathroom and super out of the way in the city. read more

Located in Portrero Hill, Plow is a great option for brunch...if you're willing to wake up early to get on the waitlist! Luckily, some friends of mine live in the neighborhood and put our names down at around 8:30 am. We ended up eating brunch at 11:45. We were seated outside, and the restaurant gave us some blankets to use while we ate, since it was a little chilly out. The staff were very nice and patient, and they answered all our questions about the menu. One person in our party has dietary restrictions, and the person who was taking care of our table made sure to explain all the dishes that would work with my friend's restrictions, as well as potential substitutions my friend could make. One of my friends and I split the eggs Benedict and the French toast. Both were delicious! The potatoes that came with the eggs were crispy and cooked well. The caramelized apples on top of the French toast were delicious and warm. The Plow was also a solid option and very filling. This was a great experience, and the neighborhood was super cute and quiet, too! Lots of great looking restaurants, cafes, and bookstores. Highly recommend! read more

I don't like breakfast potatoes. However, these might be the best breakfast potatoes I ever had. I like how they have a mix of big and smaller crispier pieces. I'm pretty sure they're deep fried because these were very decadent (you should try dipping them in syrup). The fluffy pancake was so-so. If you're a big lemon person you might love it. For me, I prefer very flaky pancakes. Eggs were cooked great and bacon more on the crispier side. The chicken burger/sandwich was amazing. The fried chicken was more "karaage" style. I think they might use rice or tapioca flour because it was very aery. I think I would get that next time over the plow breakfast but both were good. Wait was pretty long but dog friendly. Service was good too. Definitely expect to wait 30 min to 2 hrs. Enjoy some coffee nearby (Farley's, Linea's). read more

I had a wonderful Monday morning at Plow. It's quaint and a very humble restaurant. It's bright inside and doesn't feel overly squishy.

Everything is homemade for sure, down to the hot sauce. Overall it was a wonderful experience, I will be back. read more

It's rare to have a weekday breakfast out. It generally means that it's a holiday or I'm playing hooky. In this case, it was the latter as a friend joined me in attending the Warriors' season ticketholder event that was being held later this morning at Chase Center. My friend chose to come here from three places that I suggested. I'd heard of Plow but didn't know much about the background and menu. Arriving a little after 9 am on a Thursday, there was no line but only one available table against the far wall besides seats on the counter. We chose the table and quickly studied the menu. As we discussed it, we agreed to order two different things and share them family style. We started with The Plow (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=24&select=PXN8aTwQLjc671bS2C0xaA), sunnyside eggs and house-made pork sausage patties; comes with Plow potatoes + buttered toast. There is no shortage of variety here but my friend and I agreed the Plow potatoes were the star of this plate. Everything else was good but this was perfectly seasoned with some character without being dry. Everything else was cooked as ordered and, being a generous plate, I brought my toast home given the portions. We also shared the crab scramble (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=24&select=d-FJLTLSA-NJZtkwoeHjDg); described as three eggs, dungeness + rock crab, scallions, house creme fraiche, Plow potatoes + toast. This sounded interesting with the high end ingredients being the attention grabber. This was good but the protein didn't shine as the scramble was on the bland side. I didn't want to detract from the crab by pouring hot sauce. My friend had coffee while I just had the table provided water for our meal. Service was efficient with our glass and cup being respectively filled. I was given a small box for my unfinished pancake and toast. The dining room stayed full throughout with a few seats open on the counter. There was a small line and more people walking towards the restaurant as we left. The outdoor dining area wax also pretty much full too. read more

**3.5 stars** Waited a little more than an hour, checking in around 9:45am. Took a stroll and got coffee at Linea while waiting. The food came out relatively quick. I got the plow, sub potatoes with salad since I was able to try the potatoes from my partners plate. The biscuit was probably the best thing there! The salad and eggs was great. I was looking forward to the pancakes but I thought they were overhyped. The house made pork sausages had good flavor though.their OJ was solid as well. The price is a bit steep for breakfast I'm not sure if I would wait again for this place but im glad I got to try it while I was in the area. read more

It may seem crazy to wait so long for a meal in SF, but there's that something special about Plow. No matter how long they tell you the wait is, be prepared to add another 30+ minutes. It is so worth it though. The staff make this place truly special. My favorite thing to do is sitting at the counter, watch the open kitchen action, and meeting fellow diners who also appreciate Plow as much as I do. You can't go wrong with the Plow, which is a little of everything, including the lemon ricotta pancakes. The French toast is so decadent that you will need to share it. And if you love biscuits and gravy, don't pass this one up. Remember breakfast is the most important meal of the day! read more

We ordered The Plow and the Fried Egg Sandwich, and both were excellent! The fried egg sandwich was especially delicious -- the bacon really took it to the next level. I'm personally not a big fan of sausage with a slightly sweet flavor, so I preferred the bacon, which was incredible -- thick, smoky, and perfectly cooked. The potatoes were sooooo good and cooked perfectly. The rosemary on top added the best finishing touch -- truly to die for. Service was quick, and we were seated right away as a party of two. Larger groups were waiting outside, so if you're coming with a big group, I'd definitely recommend arriving right at opening or early. Overall, such a great experience! I'll absolutely be back. read more

Girls day with some friends on a Sunday. We got the buttermilk biscuit with honey butter for $7.25 that was addicting! The crunch was so satisfying! 30 minutes for this to arrive after ordering. - I got the soft scramble: three eggs, stinging nettles, shiitake mushrooms, goat cheese, plow potatoes + buttered toast. I got mine without the goat cheese for $22.75. - One friend got the lamb tostadas: braised lamb shoulder, Rancho Gordo midnight beans, avocado, little gems, sour cream, pickled onions, queso fresco, cilantro for $26. - my other friend got the plow: two eggs, two lemon ricotta pancakes + plow potatoes, choice of house made pork sausage patties, bacon, or chicken apple sausage links for $26. My first time here and everything was super delicious! The wait can be long - waited over an hour and our check out process was long as well. The food is worth the wait but make sure you're not in a rush to be anywhere! I would love to try the lamb tostadas, the lemon ricotta pancakes, the plow potatoes and the buttermilk biscuit next time as each bite I had was tasty! read more

After seeing raving reviews for months, I finally decided to try Plow. I ended up ordering over the phone, which was quick, and my food was ready within 20 minutes. The space itself was packed, even for a Thursday morning, and parking can definitely be more challenging. The food was great overall. I got the buttermilk biscuit, the lemon ricotta pancakes, and the Plow potatoes. The buttermilk biscuit was slightly sweet and came with a honey butter that was fabulous. I loved the potatoes as well--they were well done and had a nice rosemary flavor. The pancakes were just alright; they were dense and had chunks of ricotta in them, which I haven't experienced with lemon ricotta pancakes before. I did really enjoy the lemon sauce that came with them. I'm going with 4 stars just because I wasn't a fan of the chunks of ricotta in the pancakes and because it was definitely on the pricier side (almost $40 for the three items, two of which were sides). I'd be down to try this at Plow and see how it is hot and fresh, but I won't be back for a while. A little overhyped. read more

Put our names down around noon on a Sunday and my party of 3 was quoted around a 2 hour wait. Ended up waiting around 2 hrs 15 mins. Indoor and outdoor seating both available. I got The Plow and chose poached eggs and chicken apple sausage links. My favorite part was the plow potatoes! They were cooked well and had a nice crispiness to them. Lemon ricotta pancakes were pretty good too - a bit on the doughy side for my personal preference but I liked the mini size that came with The Plow. Poached eggs had a bit of a weird rubbery texture, and chicken apple sausage links were a bit too sweet for my liking. Overall I felt like I wasn't super wow-ed by anything in particular and especially given the long wait, I'm not sure if I'd return unless short wait. Service was great though and everyone was friendly! read more

More recently I look for places that can accommodate a dog so when I was looking for "great breakfast places in SF with a dog and Gluten-Free pancakes" this was at the top of the list. After reading some of the reviews I decided to make it our destination. There is outdoor seating and they had a little pad for you to sit on and they provided little blankets, which is very welcome during these cold days of December! Tables are spaced out nicely so if you're furry friend is on the bigger side they can maneuver around with you comfortably. There was also a clean community water bowl for your pup. First of all it is definitely a dog-loving neighborhood so expect a lot of doggies walking by while you eat. I probably wouldn't recommend it if you have a reactive dog (even a little bit) but if your pup can behave himself through a meal it should be no problem. Second, it really is pretty popular and there was already a good number of people outside waiting when we arrived Saturday morning around 10am so I really liked that their host table was right outside the entrance, making it very easy to check in. I didn't go inside so I don't know how the seating arrangement was inside but I imagine it is kind of small, snug, and homey. My child did use the restroom, though, and he said it was very nice and clean. They also have a nice seating area while you wait for your table. We only waited for about 30 minutes for our table. This might seem really long for some people but I've been to some very popular breakfast/brunch places where the wait could be over an hour and a half so 30 minutes is not crazy. Lastly, the food.... the FOOD! It was so good! My eyes were on "The Plow" because I really wanted to try their pancakes but I didn't want just pancakes! Although the lemon ricotta pancakes were not Gluten-Free we were allowed to sub for the Gluten-Free ones! So it made my choice much easier. The potatoes really had a nice crisp to them and were nothing like any potatoes I've had at other restaurants. It paired extremely well with the eggs and pancakes. The scrambled eggs were made exactly right to our liking - I told her "scrambled and not runny" and they came out fluffy and not overcooked. The Gluten-Free pancakes were also delicious! They were very tasty with some butter and syrup. This location is actually really nice! If you've got a long wait for your table there is a nice little bookstore a few steps away or a coffee shop or a dessert shop where you could go kill some time while you wait. Ok, so I could see parking being a pain in the butt maybe you can just Uber/Lyft it! I will definitely return with my dog and child again! read more

I now understand why the wait is always so long! I came here on a Sunday for brunch with a friend and wow the line was long- took around 45 minutes of waiting (we decided to walk around and make ourselves hungrier). The tables are very close together so don't plan on having very secret or sensitive conversations. I got the Plow- some eggs, lemon ricotta pancakes, potatoes, and house made pork sausage. And WOW the food was excellent. The lemon ricotta pancakes were light and delightful. I could eat an entire plate of them. And the sausages was tasty too- just wish they had a tad more of a spicy kick! Oh and the potatoes- exceptional. I stole some from my friend after eating all of mine. Will come here again, although maybe earlier in the morning read more
