The burger, deviled eggs, and brussels sprout chips will always be classics, but new dishes like calamari and chorizo tartine are no slouch, either. Read more

As many tipsters have noted, the Brussels Sprout Chips are wonderful, lemony, salty, and crisp. The seasonal burrata with fava bean toast, pea pods, and tendrils is also a great dish.

here's how you do it: the baker cocktail right when you sit. start: sprout chips, chicken fried okra and/or baked oysters. main: burger + brew. dessert: a winter solstice manhattan night cap.

Grapefruit brûlée with lemon curd, pistachios and mint $9, French toast soldiers $10, cod & shrimp cake Benedict $16 & veggie scramble $16. Almond latte available.

Start things off with a dozen oysters, progress to a Dungeness crab and rock shrimp crepe, and seal the deal with the classic Marlowe burger. They have brunch cocktails, too. Read more

Just when we thought we couldn’t love Marlowe any more than we already did, they went and launched brunch. Try the deviled eggs, oysters, the burger, tomato baked eggs with chickpeas, and more. Read more

Marlowe's new home features cocktails with fun names like The Bull and The Sow, not to mention The Grindr, which we're sure will inspire a few awkward hookups when consumed in large enough quantities. Read more

Marlowe's is a great neighborhood spot with delicious burgers & a wide beer selection. But one treat they are known for are Brussels sprout chips—they'll turn any veggie hater into a veggie lover! Read more

Excellent brunch choice - sat at the bar and enjoyed the classic bloody called the Butcher with the Mushroom Arugula on Polenta with shaved parmesan - highly recommend. Exceptional service.

Be sure to check out the newly relocated Marlowe restaurant in SoMa, which opened yesterday. Only have time for a drink? The new patio has full liquor license, which allows for cocktails. Read more

Puccio's mix of beef with a bit of ground lamb in the patty, and the combination of cheddar cheese, bacon, and a horseradish aioli make the Marlowe Burger a damn fine burger. Read more

Have been a couple times so not dying to go back, but this is a really nice spot (with a delicious burger) right near Caltrain -- convenient for weeknight dinners with those coming up from South Bay.
SFGateAugust 2, 2014
Ignore the abbreviated bar menu and order from the full menu, even at the bar seats. Don't fret. The "Poulet Vert" ($21) or steak frites ($29) are available to all. Read more

This burger has become a legend in it's own time. Your mouth will begin to water as you read about what goes into this beast so don't miss out. Read more
Natalie MSeptember 14, 2015
Very good food but I felt the portions could have been bigger. Paying $15 for a burger & fries and there's barely any fries on the plate & the burger is delicious but small, idk if I'd return for that
Foxxy BSeptember 22, 2017
The back terrace is small (2 tables of 6) & awkwardly through a few back doors but much quieter than the main room. Get the poppers, burrata, & any dessert! Fish tends to be OK. Great wine list.
IzabellaJanuary 3, 2016
Start with the toasted pistachios, crispy Brussels sprouts chips and don't forget to try the Marlowe Burguer - caramelized onions, cheddar & bacon followed by the best fries in the world!
Meredith BlechmanJune 22, 2016
Deviled eggs, Brussel sprout chips, burrata, and poulet verde were all amazing. Great wine list and creative cocktails. Small place and it was packed - make a reservation in advance.

This place is fantastic. The brussels sprout chips, the drinks, the burgers - perfection. There’s a reason why many restaurants in town serve a “Marlowe Burger”!
Stephanie YNovember 4, 2014
Burger was amazing as usual and the beef tartare has a nice spicy kick to it. Their mixed drinks on the menu lean on the sweeter side. Not bad or anything, just a heads up.
SFGateAugust 2, 2014
Specialties: Hamburger; fried chicken sandwich; fried Brussels sprouts chips; baked oysters; deviled eggs; Little Gem salad with avocado; poulet vert (chicken in herb sauce). Read more

The restaurant is small so opentable attempts 1-2 weeks before your desired visit are oftentimes fruitless, but if your party is small, try the bar. And the deviled eggs, b. sprout chips and burger!
Wilson Favre-DelerueOctober 2, 2017
A burger whose quality is worthy I its reputation! And fabulous cocktails.
Tasting TableAugust 13, 2014
There's a little lamb added to the beef blend in the Marlowe Burger, lending a note of gamey funk; caramelized onions, sharp cheddar, bacon, and horseradish aioli take it to the next level. Read more

The Marlowe Burger is amazing. The fries that go with it and the Bone Marrow are amazing sides! Enjoy the cool decor and nice interior!
squeaselOctober 8, 2014
Warm deviled eggs - seriously. So very cute and surprisingly tasty. Bone marrow and steak tartare are delicious. Pretty damn good hamburger. Nothing has really disappointed.
Ashley RoseMarch 12, 2017
The perfect place to take your on-the-trendy-side boss or parents : great cocktails and flavorful meals. I loved the chicken.

You can't go wrong with anything on the menu, but my eyes roll back eating the grilled Niman pork chop sitting on sugar pie pumpkin mash, broccolis, harissa & mint.
KEJune 7, 2019
Good, but so loud! Cute vibe but I wish it was easier to have a conversation, the sound level was just super high. Gets packed. All the desserts were awesome.
BommyOctober 12, 2014
Warm deviled egg, marlowe burger, and anson mills polenta. Swoon. Although, it's way too loud inside and you'll have to raise your voice.
Lana VenturaOctober 21, 2016
Deviled eggs, crispy brussels sprout and steak tartare are amazing! A must in SF for those who love fine dining!
Ashley YuehJune 5, 2014
Spotted: Daniel Boulud. Recommend: baked oysters; burrata; their famous burger. Brussels sprouts chips a must if you haven't tried before.
Ariel ZachDecember 17, 2015
Brussel sprouts chips are a must.Service was awesome, including waiving the cost of a cocktail at the bar they forgot to put on the check!
Gwyneth Harrison-ShermoenSeptember 28, 2015
Get the baker cocktail! The brussel sprout chips, burger, and fries were all great, too.
Elizabeth BursteinJune 4, 2016
The steak tartar and the Marlowe burger are great. It's heavy so you can share it. The dessert is mediocre.
Tanner ChristensenMay 28, 2016
Try the deviled egg, but be warned: you won't be able to just have one. Also champagne and, of course, a burger.
Michael GillJanuary 20, 2017
The food and service is great. Suggest to make a booking otherwise you will generally wait for a table or seats at the bar.
Ashley ReinerNovember 24, 2015
Brunch: the Kale & Brussels Sprout caesar; the french toast soldiers (you dip them like Dunkaroos as a kid- but taste waayyyyyy better)
Min KimDecember 28, 2014
LOVE the cauliflower cheddar cheese side menu+ marlowe burger! Tastes just like regular mac and cheese, but with cauliflowers!
Hailey CrowelJune 9, 2013

Do not skip the brussel sprout chips (I hate brussel sprouts and love these!) Or deviled eggs. My favorite mains are the burger and the scallops.

Please order something other than just sprouts and a burger. Everything is exceptional and they do the hard things, like marrow or grilled prawns, so well.
Gregory FosterJune 3, 2017
The crab and shrimp egg Benedict was probably the best I've had in my life. Great service too!
Manik RatheeAugust 6, 2014
Had some weird "im better than you" vibes from some staff members, but the burger made up for it. One of my favorites in SoMa
Bikash MishraAugust 8, 2017
Cozy setting, good food and great service. Try the Brussels sprout chips and the fried chicken sandwich!

Angus Ribeye is AH-maxing! As well as Anson Mills Polenta! Many compliments to the chef!

a great bacon cheddar 🍔comes with a bomb horseradish sauce

Deviled eggs,provolone, pickled jalapeño & bacon
Matt JonesJune 2, 2013
Deviled eggs are epic, Poulet Vert was quite tasty - but the staff are what make this place truly awesome. Will be back!
Anton ShusterApril 14, 2015
The burger has caramelized onions, bacon, cheddar, horseradish aioli, and shredded romaine. There's also a kid-sized version.
