The size & style of the menu is representative of Old America, with a modern-Californian twist. It's large with ample choices for the meat lover & pescatarians. However, there is only one veg entree. Read more

Made a reservation on a Wed night at 8:15pm. Arrived on time, but were told to wait an unknown amount of time. 45min later, still unseated. Hey, get your shit together before you take reservations.

Get the burger. You won’t be disappointed.

Wayfare Tavern, Tyler Florence's first signature restaurant in San Francisco, CA, serves delicious dishes like Sonoma Pork Belly and Poutine.

The tri tip is delicous! It is a must! Be sure to make a reservation way in advance or you will never get a seat/table!

Fun spot and cool environment for after work drinks.

The bread is to die for. Mixture between a croissant and a puff pastry. Also try the deviled eggs and the burger.
Diana SNovember 9, 2011
Seasonal menu, but if you see popcorn ice cream anywhere on the desert menu, ask for it. to-die-for.
Alex ToulemondeMay 21, 2016
Pick one of your choices: fried chicken, burger or tartare.

Roasted bone marrow and fried chicken are to die for and the Lagavulin never a problem..
Peter BillietAugust 22, 2018
Chicken is good but needs a side dish. Mashed potatoes are awesome.
Mike YoungJanuary 5, 2011
Steak tartare, grilled calamari, and crab louis salad to start. Burger is good. Fried chicken is decent. Cheesy popovers are great!

Ask them about vegan modifications. They're super nice and accommodating!

The popovers are to die for! As is the Mac & cheese.

Deviled eggs need a bit more paprika but are quite good nonetheless

Deviled eggs not what they are cracked up to be :) fried chicken as advertised however

Pot de creme. Chocolate cream was good. Didn't taste the rhubarb at all though... The crisp and the biscotti were no no... Underwhelmed

If it was socially acceptable, I would order Wayfare's beef tartare for appetizer, entree and dessert. Must get!
Sydney MMarch 10, 2018
Fried chicken. Get it even if you don’t feel like fried chicken.
Anthony ValenteJune 30, 2012
Whatever you order, get the roasted eggplant as a side dish. You won't be disappointed.
Amanda SchneiderMay 25, 2015
Strawberry rhubarb cobbler made dessert the highlight of the meal.

Burger with egg is Delish! So is the Kobe beef tartare

Deep friend oysters are the BOMB. Lamb chops juicy and tasty

If you can't get a reservation for lunch/dinner, try going for lunch on Saturday -- usually not as packed!
Laura RogersSeptember 8, 2010
Great service at the bar...excellent martinis (and they get better the more you drink). I think my homemade deviled eggs are better though, sorry Tyler!
