H KJanuary 15, 2017"Plow" with lemon pancakes and pork sausage was amazing. The wait can be long on weekends (2 hrs).
Best breakfast potatoes in San Francisco. Long, long wait, so hop across the street for the strongest Bloody Mary to pass the time.- Jimmy HookerAugust 7, 2014My favorite breakfast place in San Francisco. Get their namesake dish, so, so good. The waits are brutal, but worth it. Those lemon ricotta pancakes...
Petie PizarroMarch 9, 2016Best breakfast in San Francisco! I don't even eat pancakes, but these lemon pancakes were to die for.
BommyNovember 17, 2014Don't understand the hype. Lemon ricotta pancakes are good but save $$ and scramble your own eggs at home. Fried egg sandwich is tasty i guess?
LamiaNovember 15, 2015Worth a try for a brunch, even if you have to wait an hour. The Plow (plate with patatoes, bacon, eggs and pancakes) is amazing
If it's your first time here, get the Plow. The crispy potatoes are the best in town. Come on weekdays before 9 to skip the line.
vivienne au-yangFebruary 3, 2016extremely long wait on Sats. be prepared with a cup of warm coffee and plenty of warm clothes. the potatoes and eggs are the bomb!
Eddy BadrinaJune 29, 2016Lemon ricotta pancakes. Just get The Plow and pair the 'cakes with their potatoes and bacon.
Kiri InouyeOctober 18, 2016Breakfast sandwich (w avocado and bacon of course) and lemon ricotta pancakes are my fave! About a 30 min wait for 3 on a Monday morning.
Peter Abou ChacraNovember 3, 2018Simple, high quality ingredients balanced to great effect. The house potatoes are delicious!
Lisa RayleJanuary 24, 2016Soft scrambled eggs and crispy potatoes. When it's in season, get the Dungeness crab salad.
Addison HuffJanuary 15, 2016Possibly the best buttermilk biscuit I've ever had. Lemon ricotta pancakes lived up to the hype. Food is all sourced from local farms 👍
Kristine VelezAugust 14, 2014The Plow is a must order! It comes with their crispy potatoes, 2 eggs, lemon ricotta pancakes and meat of your choice like bacon or sausage.- Caro LinaJune 2, 2018We had the Plow breakfast and it 100% lived up to its reputation. Fantastic and friendly service. Highly recommended!
- Ashley MowreyJuly 5, 2015It will a 90% chance of an hour wait. 100% delicious pancakes and breakfast potatoes. Is it worth the wait? Hard to know considering by the time you get your food you're famished. Those potatoes tho.
Jess BarronNovember 7, 2013I love pumpkin, but the pumpkin pancakes are just OK (not pumpkin-y enough). If you want pancakes, get the lemon ricotta ones, which are pretty incredible.
Lyn Tolan-BarbinFebruary 26, 2015Don't miss the potatoes, which are perfectly cooked and well seasoned to flavorful.
VassilisSeptember 16, 2016THE place for breakfast in SF!! Both service and taste Recommending the prosciutto + gruyere sandwich
Alexander PiluguinaApril 27, 2018Incredible place to start your day on a great note with sunny staff and a butter chicken to die for!!!
Grace S.August 16, 2013Fried egg sandwich w/ avocado & bacon for sure and a side of the pork sausage. (The egg is cooked with a runny yolk.) Lemon ricotta pancakes were good but didn't live up to the hype for me.
Josh PylesNovember 15, 2014Food is very good, but not a big fan of the wait. Go on a weekday and get the Plow – it's their greatest hits on one plate.
Bobbie McLellanNovember 26, 2017Biscuits and sausage gravy. The lemon ricotta pancakes were very good as well.
Sit at the marble countertop to watch the chefs cook up a storm! Amazing breakfast during the weekday to avoid the weekend 2 hour line
Elizabeth BursteinSeptember 11, 2018Had the Plow and it was so heavy! The potatos and spices around them are so good. I had the biscuit before which made me feel way too full after. The eggs scrambled are too light with no spices. Meh
Joshua HaftelJanuary 27, 2016The plow is great, perfect combo of salty and sweet, with wonderful potatoes. These folks do breakfast right.
if you get here at 7:45AM on a Saturday, you'll likely get seated, so sleep in a little :)
Jason BellSeptember 18, 2016The easy choice is to get the plow. The harder choice is bacon or sausage. Go sausage.
Ugur KanerJune 25, 2014Show up alone and grab a chair by the kitchen. Order pancakes and coffee, enjoy watching kitchen staff doing their magic.
Jeremy JacobowitzAugust 10, 2014Little pricey, and there will definitely be a wait, but SO worth it! Get The Plow! You won't be disappointed!
Have to try the Plow. The potatoes are next level. A side of avocado is a great addition.
Edmund BoeyFebruary 20, 2018Better be ready to wait over an hour, the food is good thou. Potatoes are amazing and come with almost every dish
Le JordanJanuary 17, 2018This place is hopping! Get here early or grab a coffee and wait for a table. It’s all good.
Tanay JaipuriaNovember 29, 2014You'll probably have to wait for two to three hours but you won't regret it. The lemon ricotta pancakes are heavenly.
Cat ColmanJune 2, 2013Get the Plow. Lemon ricotta pancakes AND eggs = the bomb. Only downside, no Bloody Mary's. But very nice Sauvignon Blanc.
Jennifer HarbinApril 25, 2017Seriously one of the best breakfasts I've ever had. Be sure to get their sausage made in-house.
Olek BuzJune 22, 2019Every bite of their special ‘The plow’ breakfast plate is something... and that strawberry lemonade... mmm....
Shawn CalhounApril 22, 2018French toast, a side of 🥓 and black coffee.....and the two hour wait is a distant memory.
Jennifer BecknerOctober 27, 2012Not a big fan of pancakes... but the lemon ricotta ones here are amazing! Share "The Plow" and you get a little bite of everything. <3
Their breakfast potatoes are amazing!! I wish I could eat them every day without the consequences of weight gain.
