Load up on bold, meaty, inventive, exciting dishes like the "Ham" Burger, Beef Heart Tartare, Whole Fried Chicken, & Truffle Grilled Cheese. Read all about this culinary insanity on WinstonWanders!
Arthur LiaoFebruary 15, 2016Good for groups, especially those who love meat and drinks. Get and share the pinhole steak, pigs head (super good and crispy) and drink a lot of negronis. They have a happy hour from 10 to 11 PM.
Nate LawlerAugust 4, 2015I had the culotte steak. It was delicious! Others in my group had the Bacon Chop (so big) and the Hen dish. Both looked good, but I was happy with my decision.
- Yen MAugust 26, 2017Incanto was one of my favorite restaurants and the food at Cockscomb was definitely on par. This will be my go to for delicious, casual and special fare, on any night of the week.
Ms HeleneOctober 26, 2018Skip wood fired sweet potato of 3 pieces for $24, the pan fried fish of the day with beans and mussels $35 and the chocolate mousse s’mores $8. Order the spicy clams appetizer. Loud and crowded space
This place is amazing. They have the exclusive license to sell the Impossible Burger (vegetarian or vegan) at lunch in San Francisco. All there salads are out of this world.
Wilson Favre-DelerueJune 24, 2017The prize here is the gargantuan out-of-the-ordinary meat cuts, a spectacular pig's head amongst them. Be bold, be brave and thou shall be rewarded.
tablehopperMay 6, 2015Groups should go for the pin-bone steak ($110 for four), a generous and stunning platter that feels like a Viking banquet. If you’re not a Viking, there’s a culotte—that was juicy and so tender.- Frances JamesApril 13, 2015Chris Costentino's new spot - expect lots of unique meat cuts. There's also plenty for pescetarians, and the veggie dishes are delicious (though maybe on the meat-y side).
Anton LopyrevJanuary 14, 2015If you like meat, get the bacon chop. But be warned, its probably bigger than your apartment.
Marc NijdamMarch 19, 2015We don't eat meat which takes a lot of the menu, but there's always the cold fish starters and a couple of amazing main courses a fish eater would really love
Angela Z.August 11, 2017Great for groups and family style menus! Serious meat eaters only please... The duck was the highlight for me
Gnat BrainDecember 28, 2014Pigs head in limited quantities and well worth it. Brined, braised, and then roasted. Where else you gonna eat one? Might as well be from a chef who is a master of meats.
Aron OrtegaJanuary 19, 2018The food here is amazing. I will visit this place every time I come to SF from now on!
The bacon chop is incredible. For happy hour the pigs ears and the grilled cheese. There's an upstairs lounge that's lightly trafficked between 5-6pm on weekdays.
Laura FroelichAugust 21, 2016The grilled cheese sandwich topped with honey and a fried egg brought tears of joy to my eyes. Not kidding.
Eran ChetzMay 21, 2016Ask for a place on the bar and watch the open kitchen. They do an amazing work.
Lauren DrogosFebruary 8, 2017Smoked salmon was off the chainz! Also, have the Pine Ridge Chenin Blanc with it😍
Omer ZachSeptember 3, 2015Start with the craziest thing possible like brain bologna or pig skin pasta and follow it up with the $18 oyster omelet + wine deal.
Roderic CampbellMay 12, 2017Try the Impossible burger. It's way different than any veggie burger I've had before. I think it was worth it.
- Rem KoningApril 23, 2015Pig parts! Offal Tartare! Sit at bar and watch and feel the wood fire oven. Best resto in SF.
Sydney MAugust 24, 2018Tombo crudo and crispy squid and pig ears are must haves! Favorite spot in SOMA by far- Sydney MAugust 24, 2018Tombo crudo and crispy squid and pig ears are must haves! Favorite spot in SOMA by far
Kornelis KuiperAugust 11, 2017Great beef tartare and good steak. I like the open kitchen and great atmosphere!
Giuseppe ValenciaJuly 28, 2015Try the Chef Specials of the Day. Also Seat near the Bar Upstairs for best View of the Kitchen.👌🏽.
Cynthia LinApril 22, 2017A lot of great unique meats! Be in the mood for heavy! I'd highly recommend the beef heart
Sagar JhobaliaDecember 7, 2016The chef spent years researching how to make the perfect vegan burger. It's called the Impossible Burger.- DanJanuary 22, 2018Came here when the impossible burger shipped, and compared with other impossible burger preps Cockscomb is the best.
Kimling LamApril 6, 2016Deviled eggs, charcuterie platter, chef's mess specials, lamb shoulder. All the meat.
meganJanuary 23, 2015Do you like meat? Great. This place is amazing. Do you not like meat? Go home to your granola.
Pierre A.November 8, 2016Try the Impossible Burger. The most incredible vegetarian burger you'll ever have.
Anton ShusterApril 14, 2015The hamburger is a burger out of ground ham and topped with butter lettuce, grilled onions, dijon mustard and gruyere.
Karina DrosenosAugust 14, 2018The gnocchi and pig ears are a must try! They also have happy hour from 5-6pm
Chris H.June 15, 2017They only have impossible foods burgers on their lunch menu, but their regular hamburger is amazing.
Ask for the chef's counter when making a reservation. It's a delight!
