    Expect an updated menu with hearty seasonal fare like fish, steak, and burgers. Breakout items: dark and stormy slushies for sipping, and freshly-fried crullers with creamy frozen custard for dessert.

    Their ahi tuna appetizer is delicious just beware that there's a lot of cilantro on the dish. The fried chicken and pork chop are hits on the menu. Great mules as well for beverages.

    Milk punch. If you booze, this is something you can't miss. Just make sure that you put it across the table or you'll drink it up in 60 seconds. Food is solid and the salads are always amazing.

    Good spot if you're near the waterfront and don't want to eat in the Ferry Building or if you're out with kids. The menu has something for everyone, but isn't junk which is why it gets a like from me.

    Forget every opinion you had about the old Fog City Diner. This is an entirely new restaurant, and A very good one at that.

    Wonderful deviled eggs. Wash them down with a Lazy Lion. Yes, it's expensive, but I do enjoy the atmosphere of diner + nice cocktails for some reason.

    Pretty good, although service can be hit-or-miss. Open all day, so good if you're wanting a snack or drink in the middle of the day near Embarcadero

    Pleasant diner vibe with fresh, Californian food. Downside: gets very, VERY, loud at lunch (and probably dinner too).

    First time here since the remodel. They really opened up the room. Saigon Dip is my favorite from the new menu.

    Love the @Fog_CitySF credit card doohickey! Classy and kitschy at the same time.

    If you get the fresh French Crullers {& you should}, may we suggest having them with Chef Aaron's Egg Yolk Caramel Sauce [just do it].

    $1.50 oysters on weekdays from 4-6pm, which comes with oak barrel-aged hot sauce and really good shallot mignonette

    The grilled roasted chicken was awesome, and the charcuterie plate is also highly recommended.

    Beautiful, but if I wanted to go to Hillstone, I would have. Over priced and limited menu. $16 chicken soup? I want my truffle fries! Bad choice folks. Put the "Diner" back in Fog City.

    Underwhelming in most respects. Bring or ask for salt as the seasoning is as "under" as the "whelming."

    Awful service, tiny portions, overpriced food. Had to wait 2.5 hours for food, continuously asking for bread (received at 2-hour mark). When asked for food to-go, rude staff cancelled half our orders.
