Suggestions for American Restaurant near Showplace Square, San Francisco

Alex W. • February 12, 2010The tables upstairs are sunny & quiet - a great place to chat with a friend.

Jennifer L. • August 14, 2014Super delish bun. Get the #15. A friend who knows Vietnamese said that it's very authentic and has done of the more unusual dishes like crab soup.

Alex Y. • May 14, 2023Best Boston bar in San Francisco. Great food (even though I miss the tofu tacos) and friendly rowdy crowd that fills up for boston sports games. Huge back patio full of TVs and lots of seating.

Chris B. • October 13, 2014Pretty chill bar on the outskirts. They do a Sunday brunch with guest chef's and a DJ. Great patio as well.

David S. • October 10, 2015Great burgers and garlic fries. You can bring your food next door to tempest and grab a beer.

SFist • September 10, 2014The OG of San Francisco BYOBs, Poc Chuc has become a destination for their perfectly executed take on Mayan cuisine. The namesake poc chuc is stellar.

Smurf • January 7, 2012Favorite healthy breakfast: prawn omelette, egg whites, no cheese. Fave decadent breakfast: eggs over grilled cheesy polenta aand italian sausage. YUM!

Irene M. • February 23, 2015Tiny place, long lunch lines (don't worry, they move fast), superb sandwiches with creative (not pretentious) ingredients. A nice change for lunch. Wish there were more seating!

Vivian W. • August 13, 2015Perfect afternoon snack: sage fries dipped in a scoop of iced cream.

Dave • February 8, 2012Vegan pie options! And sriracha. And great drink selections.

Rosa A. • February 1, 2015This place has great service. With yummy bread and a garlic butter spread, you can't go wrong. I love getting their salmon of the day, with a creamy caper sauce. Brunch is just as delicious!

Brad T. • November 13, 2020Great new hole with (almost) surprisingly great gumbo and po' boys (shrimp). A great find in a city short on good Cajun.

Shagun A. • December 5, 2014Great weekend brunch, beautiful location. They also have great Brazilian dance events with live performances. Check their calendar for it

Kari • December 27, 2011Modern restaurant brewery. Well brewed beer. Lunchtime is very busy.

Caroline • February 22, 2011I <3 Star Stream. Delicious sandwiches, amazing cookies and scones, Blue Bottle coffee, and friendly staff. What more can you ask for in your neighborhood cafe?

Ariel S. • April 11, 2013By far the very best cheese melt sandwich place in SF. Go!

Carolyn C. • August 6, 2011My favourite breakfast, lunch, coffee spot in SOMA. Great for eating, working, or making new friends when you are in town for business.

George L. • May 28, 2018I eat here at least three times a week. Food is good, nice portions, service and staff are great. Big tip for visitors attending the show next door at the theatre. Please plan ahead it gets very busy.

Claude H. • September 21, 2018Obviously, a great place for a quick bite before a SFJazz show. It's a nice neighborhood place in its own right. Being a cool jazzy bar, they know how to riff on martinis, and the salmon is great!

Ed G. • November 23, 2010Great food low price

Alan H. • February 14, 2018The Melt, evolved over the years, is now a very viable alternative to the likes of Super Duper, In-n-Out, Popsons, et al. Chicken, burgers, fries, shakes — all good. Remember to customize your order!

David K. • June 5, 2016Great for protein salads. Lunch is a zoo at 12:05 but they move the line pretty quickly and food is worth it. I eat there 1-2x per week.

Chris B. • February 4, 2018Great salad bar in the heart of SoMa. It’s actually pretty hard to find a good healthy eating spot nearby so this is an oasis in the dessert. Lots of choice and quick service...

Pei 👻 W. • May 20, 2016Your perfect post-party dessert and snack stop before heading home. Both the buttermilk pancake and turn over were amazing. Doesn't hurt that they have a quirky selection of beer :)

Spice of A. • February 26, 2020Restaurants

Emilia F. • April 29, 2016Wonderfully unpretentious. Just good food and really sweet friendly and attentive staff.

Vidhya I. • June 23, 2013Lovely staff and service. Free snacks on a quiet afternoon too!

Brett E. • April 21, 2010Spiced lamb sliders, mac and cheese, and the "secret breakfast" ice cream make a great bar dinner. Oh and a big beer menu too
