Jimmy Hooker: Everyone loves this place for good reason, it is consistent and delicious. There is always a line out the door, which can be intimidating, but it moves fast.

Jimmy Hooker: Feels like you're going back in time. Everything is amazing. Try the thin sliced salmon and eat a ton of oysters. The line is serious though, and they often run out of food. Get there early.

Seafood Restaurant · SoMa · 406 tips and reviews
Jimmy Hooker: Really good oysters, and to be honest, their grilled cheese is messed up how good it is. Their grilled cheese might be more worth the trip than the oysters.
Mediterranean Restaurant · Financial District · 92 tips and reviews
Jimmy Hooker: The falafel and lamb gyros are great, this is a worthy place to eat. There is almost no seating (two stools), but you can walk across the street to the Embarcadero Center and hang out.
Breakfast Spot · Potrero Hill · 383 tips and reviews
Jimmy Hooker: My favorite breakfast place in San Francisco. Get their namesake dish, so, so good. The waits are brutal, but worth it. Those lemon ricotta pancakes...

Bakery · Mission Dolores · 295 tips and reviews
Jimmy Hooker: Perhaps one of the most hipster places in the mission (which is saying a lot, the name of this place... wtf), but the Rebel Within is worth the hype. It's delicious and worth the visit.

Mexican Restaurant · Mission District · 254 tips and reviews
Jimmy Hooker: I eat here way too much, but their carnitas burrito is great and the verde salsa is phenomenal. I could drink their verde salsa straight up.
741 Valencia St (btwn 18th & 19th St), San Francisco, CA
Taco Restaurant · Mission District · 288 tips and reviews
Jimmy Hooker: I liked it, but this definitely leans towards yuppie Mexican food, especially when compared to the incredible Mexican you can find just around it in the Mission. Also, two hour waits on Fri/Sat.
Italian Restaurant · Mission District · 487 tips and reviews
Jimmy Hooker: A hip italian spot in the Mission, everything was good. Expect more conservative portions relative to other italian places. Worth the visit, but get a reservation on Fri/Sat.
