Jaymie R.June 6, 2012Ask for tator tots with bacon and cheese form the cute kitchen slave. Fucking good.
DIY shot and a beer special. Pliny plus Bushmills, done and done.
Tip the cook, the food is always top class and damn tasty. Perfect tater tots, yo.
Order an Underberg bitters with a bottle Bundaberg Ginger Beer. Poor 'em together in large glass with ice. Enjoy with a delicious bacon and whiskey infused burger from the grill.
Kevin O'ConnellJune 27, 2009Sunday is free burgers on the grill. leave a tip in the jar for the guy cos he makes an awesome burger. buy beers so they can continue to do this.
Kimberly PyeJune 2, 2013Don't accidentally come here when the kitchen is closed and normals are butchering Bukowksi poems while trying to get drunk.
- Ian WestcottOctober 11, 2009Have the chef (Justin?) fry up some fish for you. If you ask nicely he may be very generous and throw in some bacon as well.
Get the fried seitan and hang your bike if you got one
H FDecember 29, 2009The name describes this place perfectly. Order a tecate and shot of cazadores...and then another.
SF's best not-gross gross looking dive toilet. Go here for a poop.
Micah SnyderMarch 18, 2009Whiskey Wednesday! Beer and a shot for $5, wash it all down with a bacon burger and fries.
Still serving tater-tots! Fuck the nasty Internet rumors.
Monkey MenschMarch 31, 2009Any day of the week, stop by for a Beef Jerky bloody Mary and some Seitan Hells Fish
