Suggestions for American Restaurant near Mission District, San Francisco

SFist • September 10, 2014The OG of San Francisco BYOBs, Poc Chuc has become a destination for their perfectly executed take on Mayan cuisine. The namesake poc chuc is stellar.

Vivian W. • August 13, 2015Perfect afternoon snack: sage fries dipped in a scoop of iced cream.

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!

Laurence B. • May 26, 2013Why don't people come here for brunch? They have a full menu and a full bar and rock and roll.

Pei 👻 W. • May 20, 2016Your perfect post-party dessert and snack stop before heading home. Both the buttermilk pancake and turn over were amazing. Doesn't hurt that they have a quirky selection of beer :)

Caroline • February 22, 2011I <3 Star Stream. Delicious sandwiches, amazing cookies and scones, Blue Bottle coffee, and friendly staff. What more can you ask for in your neighborhood cafe?

Deepak S. • November 28, 2013Great 90s music plus cheap(ish) drinks along with a non-pretentious atmosphere? I'll take it every weekend.

Bennett W W. • August 29, 2017A plate with three items: mashed potatoes with gravy, cornbread and a side of Mac and Cheese - so delicious. Excellent quick meal.

Lindsay E. • February 28, 2014Hangover food, good veggie options, and don't forget they have dinner! It's pretty cheap and there is beer too.The line on the weekends can get a bit crazy. Best looking American diner in SF. :)

Jorge V. • June 25, 2021What a beautiful homage to California produce! Beautiful and delicately thought food, wonderful pairing, and amazing hospitality to match your 180min experience.

The Bold Italic • March 10, 2011Specializes in classic American breakfast and lunch staples with a south of the border slant plus plenty of veggie and vegan options.

Jordan B. • February 19, 2012Get the central American breakfast!

Jonathan C. • February 18, 20143-piece meal, thigh + legs, casamiento, mashed potatoes. Add an order of Yuca fries. Delicious.

Joanna F. • October 10, 2016My favorite restaurant and rooftop bar! Lolinda is an Argentinian steakhouse and El Techo is the rooftop bar on top that serves really good apps and margs.

Rebecca G. • March 19, 2012FAV. The ambience makes you feel happy - warm, cozy, & funky all at once. At night, old films project on the wall. The food is farm fresh, unique, and incredible. And they make fantastic bloodies.

ivy♥ • September 19, 2010The only place in the bay area that has Chilean-style empanadas (pino) and they are great! But please remember that this is a take-out place!

Arnold S. • June 21, 2012One of the few true latin restaurants in the mission that offer Soyrizo. The platanos are always cooked to perfection, great breakfast spot!

Annie W. • December 15, 2014Beautiful space, amazing talent and most enjoyable group is diners to be around!

Deepak C. • August 30, 2017An excellent place to taste South American cuisine. Their house Sangria isn't to be missed

Peter L. • December 18, 2016Duck liver mousse, crab porridge, duck entree (omfg) and donuts to end the night. This is one of the strongest, most complete dinners in SF now. Good for dates, groups, booze, food (duck) & dessert

Mazda • November 22, 2010They proudly serve all natural, 100% veggie fed, humanely raised Masami Ranch American Kobe Beef and 100% natural chicken breast!

Eater • October 11, 2016Go for the super-value tasting menu ($65), or choose from dishes like duck breast salad with figs, or the excellent off-menu burger; don’t miss the pairings from a seriously well-stocked cellar.

Pranay S. • March 15, 2015Ceviche to die for. So fresh and delicious. The meat plates are amazing as well and so are the drinks! Don't bring a vegetarian friend along.

Ugur K. • December 15, 2018Despite the low score on 4sq, I very much enjoyed food and service at this place. Omelette was really good. Try matcha french toast ❤️

Laurel F. • August 8, 2021The empanadas are amazing. They’re so big -almost a full meal on their own with a beer. Love the adobo sandwich and bowl.
