    40s/50s/60s Americana PARADISE: Wilson Pickett & co. on soundtrack, vintage uniforms, honest and tasty diner food, killer milkshakes, friendly staff. This place has it all and does it all perfectly.

    Best place to have a fare dinner in SF! Everyone is very nice all the time. You should try a malted Oreo milkshake;)

    Can't say it's amazing, but it saved me at night (morning? 4am) with free wifi. New pass: "milkshake". Food is just ok but quick. Katie was amazingly friendly regardless the ungodly hour

    Good old fashion diner with classic breakfast options. The wait staff is friendly and they don’t rush you. Ambiance is nice too.

    Breakfast is always good. Not the cheapest $25 for egg sausage coffee and juice. Staff I find always friendly

    Try the big cheese sandwich with a chocolate milkshake and a cherry coke. They have the best chocolate milkshakes I've ever tried!

    Went in for pancakes and my mum had tostada. Strawberry milkshake was good. However, the pancakes and bacon were a little cold and the tostada was overly greasy and complete with rubbery chicken.

    Burger was average, if not a bit dry, & the apple pie was too sweet, w/ no spice. On the upside - bacon was cooked to perfection though, crispy and tasty.

    I love the cable car breakfast but two things are too much the orange at the side and the dry buttermilk pancakes ruin the dish .

    Was here the other night for buyers and shakes. Very good. BUT if you are the type of person who thinks Dennys has quality breakfast even you will be dissappointed with the breakfast here

    Literally the worst diner I've had in my life. We tried the chicken wings, the burgers, the hotdogs and the chili bowl. Even the fries are bad and soggy!

    If you're hungover this place is wonderful. However, if you want a descent meal and it's during regular hours go elsewhere.

    Best place to eat late in Union Square. A bit of drunken overflow from the Starlight after 2 but nothing compared to the Mason location. Great staff, quick service.
