Coralie SabinJune 24, 2015I tried both lemon ricotta and almond pancakes. I liked the almond one better, great breakfast!
Jason BellSeptember 18, 2016The easy choice is to get the plow. The harder choice is bacon or sausage. Go sausage.
Peter FridaySeptember 27, 2016Long lines on the weekend, but worth it. Nice neighborhood to hangout in while you wait too.
Their breakfast potatoes are amazing!! I wish I could eat them every day without the consequences of weight gain.
AmandaMay 11, 2015Definitely get the Plow. I've heard it's one of the best brunches in the city and I'd certainly agree.
Bogdana BDecember 21, 2015Great breakfast! Amazing ricotta pancakes and cool atmosphere! Lovely all in all!
Try the The Plow (W/Scrambled Eggs And Sausage) - Sausages fresh, eggs moist and fluffy, potatoes insane....pancakes super light and fluffy
Q LamNovember 29, 2014Long wait but worth it...as long as you get something with the lemon ricotta pancakes
Alex RodriguezAugust 25, 2014Try the plow brunch. Everything was delicious, the pancakes were the best!
Hugo BarraFebruary 24, 2013Fried egg sandwich is a must. Add bacon and avocado to unlock further incredibleness.
Lingy MaiMay 12, 2014Better than Mama's !!! Amazing potatoes, crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside! The ricotta pancakes were just alright for me.
Lemon ricotta pancakes are soo light, fluffy, and zesty! Get coffee..yummy Equator coffee, easily have about 5 refills. Come on a weekday for better chances @ a table.
Chris H.April 1, 2016The pancakes were good, but not worth the wait as nothing is that memorable. Do not eat outside. You're in the shade and they give you a blanket for a reason.
Al B.July 11, 2016Potatoes here are AMAZING. If you are unsure, go for The Plow dish. Worth every penny.
Everything is great. I usually go with the plow. Love the lemon ricotta pancakes too.
Edmund BoeyFebruary 20, 2018Better be ready to wait over an hour, the food is good thou. Potatoes are amazing and come with almost every dish
LinaMay 31, 2019Not sure how this is ranked as no. 1 in breakfast! Mediocre taste, nothing extraordinary or amazing! The french toast wasn’t cooked well(it was soggy) eggs were tasteless! Only the pancakes were good!
Alice MJanuary 3, 2016The prosciutto and Gruyere toast was incredible - a challenge to eat, but worth the work
One order of lemon ricotta pancakes with a side of bacon is going to make both of my weekend brunches so good!
The Eggs Benedict is brilliant and will keep you full for most of the day. Treat yourself to the Mimosa as well.
Ron FellNovember 16, 2018Consistently great breakfast/brunch. Line forms about half an hour before opening. No reservations
If you are looking for parking, it's hard to find on Monday and Wednesday mornings because of street cleaning.
CherylFebruary 4, 2014Solid brunch options here! However, the "complimentary" coffee offered to you while you wait, will be added to your bill later.
JTApril 5, 2018Delicious potatoes and pancakes on the pricey side because of the quality of the food
CarissaFebruary 19, 2020porchetta sandie and homemade guava lemonade were 👍🏻. the biscuit was good/ok.
Claire PedersenJanuary 16, 2015My favorite breakfast place here in SF! You have to get their potatoes and you will always have to wait in line :(
Andrew HarastaMarch 27, 2018Food is amazing here. What really stood out were the potatoes and pancakes!
Mattia AstaMay 10, 2019Great the Plow breakfast. Great location with views of SF. Long lines, show up early.- Blake SamicJuly 12, 2014Good food. Cool space. But the music makes you feel like you're eating at Abercrombie and Fitch.
Jennifer BecknerOctober 27, 2012Not a big fan of pancakes... but the lemon ricotta ones here are amazing! Share "The Plow" and you get a little bite of everything. <3
- Elizabeth SlaterAugust 8, 2015Great breakfast served throughout the week. Cute ambiance. Wish they took reservations
Felix ChuOctober 22, 2014Crispy potatoes! My go to order is The Plow (substitute for almond flour pancakes).
Cat ColmanJune 2, 2013Get the Plow. Lemon ricotta pancakes AND eggs = the bomb. Only downside, no Bloody Mary's. But very nice Sauvignon Blanc.
Christine CunninghamNovember 29, 2015Everything was great. The apple french toast was perfect with a mimosa.
Nick CollinsJanuary 29, 2017Get there early because this place has an increased demand that's well worth the wait.
Ross AllenSeptember 24, 2014Two egg breakfast poached with chicken apple sausage, and I'm in a great mood for the morning.
Serious EatsSeptember 26, 2014The breakfast potatoes are stellar, but arrive early to avoid insane lines.
ShabeebDecember 3, 2013odd opening hours, but get in early to beat the wait. Order pretty much anything with the home fries
- Seth BannonAugust 23, 2014Charming brunch spot. Food is superb. Be ready for a long wait on weekends.
Stanley JuddSeptember 9, 2014Lemon ricotta pancakes! Coffee sadly way too weak though. Homemade sausage! Service!
Andrew CulpAugust 13, 2013Get The Plow with the house made sausage. It comes with the amazing lemon ricotta pancakes.
