Suggestions for American food near Civic Center, San Francisco

Claude H. • September 21, 2018Obviously, a great place for a quick bite before a SFJazz show. It's a nice neighborhood place in its own right. Being a cool jazzy bar, they know how to riff on martinis, and the salmon is great!

Chandni K. • June 6, 2018I love the cauliflower sandwich and Brussel sprouts. Perfect vegetarian meal. And extremely flavor full.

George L. • May 28, 2018I eat here at least three times a week. Food is good, nice portions, service and staff are great. Big tip for visitors attending the show next door at the theatre. Please plan ahead it gets very busy.

Russell Allen E. • June 6, 2014candy bars and so tasty cocktails, get the American Mule... because it's American. also, it's tasty and comes in a neat cup.

Julie G. • November 24, 2013Decent bread with butter! Great polenta, clams, and amazing spagetti! Don't forget to take the panna cotta (Italian desert they to with buttermilk instead of mascarpone), it's worth it!

ivy♥ • September 21, 2010The service is excellent. Enjoy their great salad bar but leave some room for the great selection of beef. PS. DO get grilled pineapple. It's perfect after you have several pieces of meat.

Brendan M. • May 24, 2013The bloody Mary comes rather spicy and and with a Bacon and brown sugar rim coating. I recommend it with gin. C'est Magnifique!

Hery A. • December 1, 2014American Food ; meat loaf, stew and best dollar pancakes

Paul M. • April 24, 2015Great healthy take-away option

Marissa C. • July 13, 2018Open at 6:30am, come by for breakfast while waiting for passport agency to open. Plenty of seating. Decent selection of hot and cold breakfast items

Ben M. • July 1, 2023Another highly styled brunch place - like Sons & Garden. The fried chicken and croffle (croissant waffle) was good. Liked the bulgogi sauce and the chicken was cooked perfectly.

Ariel S. • April 11, 2013By far the very best cheese melt sandwich place in SF. Go!

Bryan Y. • September 2, 2013Unique take on Sichuan Chinese food with dishes like kung pao pastrami and thrice-cooked bacon. Both are excellent and spicy. Don't miss the tiki pork belly or the chicken wings!

Alex S. • April 22, 2012One thing you must get: Sweet Watermelon House Tea

Daniel S. • August 15, 2011A beautiful building with a great upstairs area. If the concert is sold out, you can often get a dinner ticket for a little bit extra.

Cherry • February 15, 2013Little kept secret in the heart of the city! A must!

Austin C. • October 22, 2011Opt for grain-free foods for your pets!

Kelly . • August 4, 2011$5 Kimbap, acorn jelly, Korean pastries, get your fill! Thursdays they sell a kit to make your own bibimbap...crucial

Frederic B. • May 4, 2018The Chicken Karaage was delicious & a great bang for your buck, while the Red Dragon noodle bowl was simply fantastic. Wonderful flavors and fresh ingredients.
