    Hearty Cobb Salad and Skillet Mac & Cheese and bowl with sausage
    Lizzie S.

    Close to the ballpark and quite a few different Muni lines, I didn't realize I'd been to Victory Hall before for a local election night party celebrating a local politician. By night, it's a chic lounge with a full bar, and by day, it's Southern food from Little Skillet (soul food in SF!) The ambiance is dark and chill, which differs from the outdoor parklet which is surrounded by trees. Booth seating is pretty lush. For lunch, I ordered the Hearty Cobb Salad and shared the Skillet Mac & Cheese and biscuits. My compatriot got the sausage bowl. We both got iced teas, however mine was sweetened and his was not. The salad was large and came with a nice amount of avocado. The fried chicken was moist and flavorful. The batter wasn't too thick or overwhelming so the chicken flavor and crunch could shine through. Mac n cheese was creamy. Biscuit was crisp and warm. I have no complaints--I left stuffed and satisfied. Service was good. Lots of people come here for work lunches from nearby offices.

    I came here for the 415 Coffee Club event on 10/26, and it was such a fun surprise to see Victory Hall & Parlor transform from a bar into a cozy, creative coffee spot for the morning! The atmosphere was industrial-chic with warm lighting, upbeat music, and friendly people chatting around copper-topped tables. The bar staff were super welcoming and kept the flow smooth even with the brunch crowd. I ordered the fried chicken & waffle, which was crispy, buttery, and absolutely hit the spot. I loved that each table had fresh flowers and little "conversation cards" that encouraged guests to connect, such a thoughtful touch. The 415 Coffee Club crew curated a perfect blend of community, music, and caffeine, and Victory Hall provided the ideal backdrop with its beautiful bar setup, colorful lighting, and great energy. I'll definitely be back for both their regular evening menu. A great reminder of how SF still knows how to mix good design, good people, and good coffee

    Victory Hall is a great hidden spot to hang out with a large group of friends if you ever find yourself in this area of SoMA. Victory Hall is spacious, they have a full bar -- offering beer, wine and cocktails, there's food available from the shared kitchen of Little Skillet next door, and you can order via QR code across multiple, separate tabs. Drinks are well-balanced, do not taste watered down, and prices are in line with other bars in the city. I had a chance to try out their bloody Mary and Oaxacan negroni on my most recent visit and really enjoyed the flavors in both. The concentration of tomato in the bloody Mary was richer than most that I've had in the past -- resulting in a thicker texture. No crazy over the top garnishes here, but if you're a bloody Mary fan, you'll certainly enjoy the spicy one offered here. Service is hit or miss depending on who your server is, so you may have to flag somebody down to get a refill for water, but the QR code ordering does help out the situation a bit. If you're ever in charge of planning a corporate Happy Hour or finding a spot for a round of farewell drinks for co-workers, Victory Hall is perfect for that.

    Here for the soul food

    We came by for their Sunday brunch today, and we were both blown away by the aesthetic of the interior. It's cute on the outside but come in for a true treasure. The interior blends art murals with brick walls, big booth seating and unique bar seating. It's an old building retouched with charm. And the food, awesome. My girlfriend got the blackened chicken salad and I got the boneless fried chicken plate with grits and collards... still drooling from those delicious collards. We sat the bar and were well tended to by the bartender. Great spot. Will return.

    Biscuits! Yes please! The butter is delicious!
    Kelley K.

    Staff was very nice. Place is a little dark. Their pork was delicious! If you are coming here, have a beer, biscuits with their amazing sage honey butter & mashed potato bowl with pork. I think you will be happy! All 3 five stars for sure! We appreciated we could sit & eat before a Giants game. Didn't like their fried chicken salad. There was approx 20% meat, mostly batter & skin on their fried chicken Others loved their pork dishes! Super chill, super casual. Beer, biscuits w/special butter & pork at least 5 stars! Wish we skipped the mixed drinks & fried chicken/fish.

    Happy hour as of 4.21

    I like Victory Hall for a few key things. One, service, really solid bartenders. Two, ambiance, have to say the space/music/decoration combo gives off positive vibes. Three, food, diverse menu regardless of what you might be in the mood for. Lastly, the Happy Hour (see photo attached). Runs all night Monday and from 2-pm, Tues-Friday. If you're looking for a good spot to pre/post game after watching the Giants, come on in!

    We came here for brunch on New Year's Day, and enjoyed the live entertainment and music, delicious food, friendly service, and winning a raffle prize on the first day of the year, lol :D It's located in an alley, but street parking was easy right in front of the restaurant (in that alleyway). The venue is beautiful, and has almost an industrial feel but perhaps converted to what it is currently... clean, modern, spacious, two rooms (each with its own bar), unique light fixtures, and lots of artwork and color on the walls bringing so much character to the place. They even have a shelf of board games at the entrance, right next to the host podium. Little Skillet, whose kitchen is right next door, serves some amazing food here. The chicken and waffles definitely live up to the hype, juicy and crisp pieces of chicken (your choice of what pieces you want), and thick and fluffly waffles! The crab & seafood gumbo was amazing as well, the closest thing to soup that they had, the entire dish with awesome flavors and ingredients. The beignets aren't the best I've had, but they were still pretty damn good, light and airy, not too sweet, and even better as leftovers. If you're looking for great food and drinks and perhaps some live entertainment in a laid-back atmosphere, I definitely recommend this spot.

    This place is a great place to meet up with friends especially when some are vegan and others are not. We went for the launch of their new vegan bar bites curated by Chef Raina and they were amazing. My personal favorite was the "No Crab Cakes" which were crispy and flavored perfectly. The Brussels sprouts were so soft as well, I just wish they came with a sauce. We also tried the vegan tacos which were simple but decent and the garlic fries which made a good snack. They also have non-vegan options and a whole dinner menu. On the bar side, their happy hour Moscow mule was one of the best I've ever had.

    Would have loved to experience what looks like a beautiful spot...however, I was willfully ( thats the important part) ignored for a full 10 minutes, by 2 different bartenders at the bar that only had 2 other parties at it. Oh well.

    They've done such an amazing job with the space! I remember when it used to be the old 330 Ritch spot. It's more classy/beautifully decorated but still has the hometown feel. I stopped by for drinks and appetizers - both of which were delicious - and can't wait to come back for a meal. There's a lot of space to sit inside and out and a back room you can reserve for parties. There's also space for a DJ/band, as well as a beautiful mural depicting a Filipina woman dancing. Definitely a spot to check out!

    Can I make a reservation for 20 people (on a Wednesday at happy hour)?

    No, but you can show up with 20 people at happy hour (preferably earlier rather than later) and grab your own tables!

    Is it very busy on a Monday around 6pm?

    This Monday it will be busy due to the Giants Baseball game that starts at 7:00pm. Are you bringing in a large party? Let me know if you have any questions so we can…

    This place definitely feels more brunch-y but I came here for dinner with some friends and still…read morehad a great meal! Our server was great, and the vibe was excellent, definitely a classic SF restaurant! I got the slushee of the day + rum which was super tasty. For food I got the risotto with blackened chicken. It was good, but not the best risotto I've had. There was a bit too much of the misc toppings, and I wish the actual risotto had a bit more flavor. For dessert, we got the beignets. Also pretty good, but not the best ever. They were freshly made and super warm, which was great. Prices are a biiiit steep, but the overall experience and quality of food makes up for it. I would definitely come back!

    Writing a review like this is difficult for several reasons, and I very rarely leave negative…read morereviews. As someone who has works in the restaurant industry, I understand firsthand how challenging this business can be, and I have a tremendous amount of respect for the people who work hard to make a dining experience memorable. That's why I don't say this lightly when I say that our food experience tonight was extremely disappointing. We ordered the pork chop, which was okay, but the cabbage side was honestly hard to eat. I'm not sure if it was intended to be slaw or steamed cabbage, but it was essentially wet cabbage with very little flavor. The potatoes were decent, although the portion was quite small and they had a texture that tasted almost like boxed mashed potatoes. The biscuits were extremely dry and hard, and unfortunately, the butter served alongside them wasn't very good either. The spinach that came with the special was, without exaggeration, one of the worst parts of the meal. It had a very unpleasant taste that made us question whether something was off with it. There really wasn't another way to describe it. For a $44 plate, I expect the steak to be cooked properly, the sides to be flavorful and thoughtfully prepared, and the entire dish to feel worth the price. We also ordered a peach soda that was $10, which already feels very expensive for a soft drink. What was even more surprising was finding out that refills were not complimentary. That's something I feel should be clearly communicated when ordering. This is supposed to be soul food, a style of cooking known for bold, comforting, flavorful food. Unfortunately, our meal just didn't deliver that. Everyone at our table left feeling unsatisfied. We spent $163 for three entrées, three drinks, and two orders of biscuits. When you spend that kind of money and the food is exceptional, you leave feeling like it was money well spent. When the experience falls this far short, it's understandably frustrating and leaves you questioning the value. I do want to give credit where it's due: our server was wonderful. We had absolutely no complaints about the service. He was attentive, pleasant, and did her job well. I genuinely hope this feedback is received in the spirit it's intended. I know how difficult the restaurant business is, and I'm not looking to tear anyone down. I simply believe that when a meal costs this much, the quality, flavor, portions, and overall execution should reflect the price.

We got the salad, happy hour mole chips, and taquitos to start. Everything was really good. The salad was bright and plentiful, the lettuce was nice and fresh. For my entree, I got the short rib mole. Holy smokes it was outstanding. The beef just fell off the rib, and the mole had a very deep and complex spiced flavor. It was one of the better moles I've had in SF. The sides it came with (fresh tortillas, beans, picked cauliflower, and rice) were all really good. To finish, we had every churro dessert they offer. I especially liked the churro with fresh buko (young coconut) ice cream from Mitchell's. But the s'mores churro and the traditional churro were both also great. The churros were freshly fried and had a great density.

The hot chocolate was delicious and their poke tostadas were a really fresh and yummy app to start with. We also got chips and guac for the table which was a classic, also very good. I split the taco plate with a friend and the fish tacos were definitely better than the chicken (I'm usually not a fan of pulled chicken, wish they did cut or cubed instead of the tinga style), though the fish was not bad. My friend loved her veggie enchiladas, so I would definitely get that next time I'm here. Dessert was churros with chocolate and a few ice creams, the coconut ice cream was delicious especially with the hot churros. Would recommend!
