    One order of lemon ricotta pancakes with a side of bacon is going to make both of my weekend brunches so good!

    Go alone. The wait for one at the counter is mere minutes, as opposed to the hours for a table.

    The almond flour pancakes are so light and fluffy, which contrast nicely with the extra crispy potatoes.

    The Plow's two tiny pancakes is so brilliant. I wish all restaurants had that. I wish I could order a side of tiny pancakes but $5 for a one pancake side is too much. :(

    While the potatoes steal the show on most reviews. I recommend the simpler things. Right now I'm the yogurt+homemade granola kick

    Decent breakfast/brunch fare not necessarily deserving of the hype and extremely long waits. It's high time reservations were brought back in fashion.

    Best potatoes, probably better than Idaho's. Seriously though, my favorite place to eat in San Francisco, hands down.

    Lemony ricotta pancakes, can't get any better. Probably the best you'll have. Don't order the Pozole, it was bland.

    Sit outside. Bring a coat or blanket -- you can wait 40 minutes outside OR usually be seated immediately outside and be gone in 40 minutes...

    Fried egg sandwich is a must. Add bacon and avocado to unlock further incredibleness.
