“ Got my fill of Corned beef and pastrami while I was in SF. I just took it back to my room but the bar looked pretty cozy to spend some time at night. Super well spiced and tasty! ”
“ Love this place. I usually end up here at the end of day everytime I go to sf. My favorite is the pastrami and the cornbread. The menu has many items and have never been disappointed with any of the food ”
“ WHAT A JOINT!!!! Love this place. Its old, gritty and good like I like it. The pastrami is fantastic and the green beans are outstanding. This is a stand up order and seat yourself bar that is a staple to San Fran. They do it right and it is super affordable….two can eat for under $50 without a problem. Its old school with simply spectacular MEATS!!!!!! Its worth the walk. ”
“ Finally able to revisit this place. Walked into a semi- crowded bar and restaurant with all the locals. Right before a concert nearby as all the old rockers were pregaming. Wonderful crowd and best tasting cuts of meat. Roast beef, bbq brisket and turkey our entourage ordered. Spaghetti, mashed potatoes and salads were our sides, with many other options we wish we could of tried. The bar was hopping, diverse crowd as well. After over eating the place was packed, with always a line for the food. Get here if never been, you'll be back like I plan too. ”
“ This is a neighborhood gem. They really have the meats! You can choose if you want a meal, sandwich, how much meat, sides, and fixings. This is meat centric, so I wouldn't recommend it for vegetarians. They have very reasonable prices for the quality of food. The place may seem "divish," but for me, it was more charm of times that have passed. Some may say it needs to be remodeled, I think it should stay the same. The staff was very friendly. At a table next to us was a woman who seemed to be homeless. She had a cart full of her belongings next to her table. Despite this, staff sreved her and were kind to her. Many businesses would not have served her. They acknowledged she was a patron and treated her just like anybody else. This shows their true kindness. ”
