Decent food and no wait at 10 am on a Saturday makes for a solid brunch go-to. I recommend the fried chicken and biscuit with a soft poached egg vs the menu's sunny-side up.

Do yourself a favor and have a burger and not the huevos rancheros. Basil iced tea Arnold Palmers are delicious.
SFistAugust 3, 2014
American comfort food, both unpretentious but original in its interpretations, like poutine with pork belly and wild mushroom gravy, and fried chicken with mixed chicories, honey, and coffee gravy. Read more

The burger is possibly my favorite in the city. Also: fried chicken and the steak is frequently amazing (changes seasonally).

The service here is great and the food can be very flavorful. Make sure to try the mac and cheese, the poutine, and the burger. Read more

Great for late night food. Burger, fried chicken, and Mac and cheese are solid!
FarshidAugust 20, 2013
Unconventional looking Mac and cheese . tastes really good and not as salty and greasy as the typical ones . pretty good!!++

Small diner-style restaurant with a limited but delicious menu. It's all about the Mac and Cheese but everything is really good.

GREAT burger and fries! They do it as it should be done! Medium rare! Pink, bloody inside! Yummy
Cody HardSeptember 13, 2014
Donuts are always a must. Delicious everytime. Fantastic staff. Coffee is alright, the corned beef hash is pretty good.

Hue is ranchero and chicken biscuit meal were awesome!
Nicholas AbentrothMay 24, 2013
Room temp PBR puzzling....fried chicken, solid but wish I had tried the burger or Mac and Cheese....Chocolate mouse cake was fucking awesome.
Jay RJanuary 12, 2013
Go at lunch time and order the oh-so-heavenly Mac N Cheese - it's the closest thing to a religious experience you'll have involving food!
Barton SmithAugust 18, 2014
Great, divey spot. Chorizo sausage in the huevos rancheros was yum and everything tasted fresh.
Ryan LandryNovember 16, 2014
The new pork chop dish on the menu is a straight up home cooked meal. Get it to feel your mama's love.
Morgan GiulianelliAugust 25, 2010
Karen is by far the coolest down to earth server in the city. This place is a fantastic representation of what san Francisco chefs can create in a hole in the wall location...pure genius
Natalie DowneOctober 8, 2013
Incredible food! The mac & cheese is the best I've tasted, the steak is perfect, it's all good!
Jeff MelnykApril 8, 2014
The burger delivers. Only wish I'd had room to try the poutine!
ThrillistSeptember 21, 2011
Try the Kobe burger on a challah bun with roasted garlic mayo and chili-infused "burger booster" sauce that the chef describes as "ketchup on crack." Read more
Ed PodojilAugust 30, 2014
Super chill atmosphere, great music. Can't go wrong with the burger plus fried egg
Kris Vera-PhillipsMay 1, 2013
Try the Poutine With Pork Belly - #kvpinmybelly : #PorkBelly , gravy and cheese over fries. Yummy dinner in #SF !!
Ben CoffeeMarch 31, 2015
Kinda weird decor but if you can get over that the fried chicken and burgers are great. I thought it was a little on the expensive side but that might just be me
ArielFebruary 9, 2014
Overrated. The Mac & Cheese with no flavor. The Kobe burger was great. The fries amount over the top and flavorless, simple herbs & salt would make a memorable burger & fries. Great service though :-)
Dave GlaserAugust 20, 2014
The fried chicken is dope. Large portion. The poutine is also very good, but the pork belly was slightly overcooked.

Lost their liquer license, so no moar bloody Marys :( They do serve beer and wine and Micheladas
Scott SoenenNovember 4, 2015
The burata is a good bet and can't go wrong with the fried chicken.
Jole PAugust 29, 2015
Mac n cheese is DELICIOUS. Same with the burrata app with the tomato salad
Keith SmithDecember 17, 2015
Comfort food at its best. A wonderful wine selection as well
Luis CastroFebruary 14, 2015
Mac and cheese with the burger. You can't go wrong with this place.
Vic ZaudNovember 21, 2014
Signature dish is their fried chicken with greens and biscuit. Super great.
Nick LMay 10, 2013
Try the Steak - Wow. Soft boiled egg and steak, who would've thunk. So good and cooked perfect.
Coralie SabinJuly 23, 2015
Mac & Cheese is amazing! Burger and chicken sandwich are really good to!
Jean-Philippe BoilyJune 21, 2014
The poutIne, although not an "authentic poutine" is actually pretty good! Try it!
Cory O'BrienSeptember 15, 2012
Get the Poutine - Fries topped with mushroom gravy, homemade cheese curds and crackling pork belly.
Erlend HauklandApril 26, 2014
Great food and service with a smile. Really a nice place for lunch.
Earl WilliamsSeptember 29, 2014
The mac & cheese with onion rings is a legit combo. The fried chicken is pretty bland. I'm really disappointed in the chicken because it looks so good.
Francisco ValenciaFebruary 16, 2013
Try the burger with blue cheese, also the Benedicts eggs are amazing. 5/5.
Chris KedNovember 28, 2013
The Kobe beef burger is just amazing. Don't share it. It's not so big.
JolieSeptember 11, 2013
Stick to the heavier American comfort food on the menu. They're generous with the liquor in their cocktails.
CarolineDecember 27, 2010
A bit higher in price than I would have liked but I have to admit, that kobe burger was one of the best I've had in a long time.

Fried chicken Mac and cheese poutine comfort food and its all about the pork
Ros HodgekissNovember 14, 2013
The fried chicken is the real deal. Sweet, savoury, salty, sublime.

Fried chicken! Also their kale salad for lunch is bomb.
ClareJanuary 25, 2016
The tomato soup comes with beautiful little grilled cheeses.
Stanislav LeontenkoMarch 7, 2014
Definitely you have to try it!
Marissa CuiMay 1, 2016
Portions are huge! Loved the blueberry mimosa.
Caroline JackMay 24, 2015
Meh...I wasn't as impressed as I thought I'd be but the uber friendly service and cozy atmosphere are a big enough pull to get me back to try again. I'll order the burger next time
Dzmitry BazhkoMay 10, 2015
Fantastic mac and cheese.
Chuck RoslofNovember 8, 2015
I found the mac and cheese underwhelming—it felt like half the dish consisted of non-mac-and-cheese elements.
Elizabeth AgnewSeptember 7, 2014
Mac 'n cheese was served like a piece of cake topped with a stack of onion rings!
