Lunch options include tempting salads and sandwiches, all at an affordable price. Wash it all down with a refreshing glass of Brenda's special Sweet Watermelon Tea.

Creado por un equipo que cree que la cena y el cine son una combinación natural, este restaurante y bar al aire libre crea un ambiente internacionalmente cultural gracias a que proyecta películas de Fellini, Godard y compañía sobre la pared del vecino.

If it were not for the scent of fried chicken and waffles and the large crowd milling around, you might not find this little takeout window in an alley in SoMa.

Southern favorites are the specialty here, particularly the fried chicken and waffles, but you can also get giant pulled pork, fried chicken and catfish po' boy sandwiches. Besides, they also serve hearty breakfast dishes, such as all kinds of grits, biscuits and gravy, fries and the ethereal “waffledog,” a hotdog wrapped in a waffle.

Se trata de Haight-Ashbury, por lo que no hay mejor música para flotar en el aire mientras se toma unas cervezas artesanales que los Grateful Dead, en este lugar que era conocido en los años 60 como el Drug Store. La remodelación ha logrado que el ambiente luzca menos psicodélico, aunque hay un exuberante mural en la pared, y Jerry y los chicos siempre están en la lista de temas que lo llevan a uno de vuelta al Summer of Love (Festival Verano del Amor). Eso crea un ambiente suave que invita a comer enormes sandwiches, platos de salchichas, tazones de sopa sustanciosa y bocadillos tentadores como patatas fritas y aros de cebolla. El servicio de los camareros es amable y la atmósfera es siempre la de 1967.

Politicians and business people have been coming here forever, buying each other martinis and waiting to be seated. The seafood is fresh and fabulous and the décor is turn-of-the-last-century. The wait staff is great, and it's not surprising--some of them have been here more than 3 decades.
