Because of the wonderful reviews we decided to try this restaurant for dinner tonight I ordered one of the local favorites, why? I'll never know. Country Fried Steak, mashed potatoes, vegetables, salad and garlic toast. The salad should have come first, instead it all came out at the same time. Meat and potatoes were just warm, not piping hot. vegetables cold. salad was iceberg lettuce in big chunks including the core of a head of lettuce. Would I go again? No! My husband had the Patty Melt. His was okay. Extremely disappointed!

Terrific authentic Italian food in a cozy, upscale white tablecloth room. Casual or a little dressed up it is a lovely spot for a friendly gathering or special occasion.
We started with an antipasto. Excellent cheese, prosciutto, roasted fresh peppers and salami on a nice wood board was seconded by superb melt in your mouth gnocchi that was booked in butter, brown sugar and truffle. It was simply to die for.the risotto special with shrimp and scallop did not skimp on either. I shared the smoked pork ragu with rigatoni which was so rich and flavorful I could only finish a small portion of it.
All the food was excellent as was he service. The restaurant ant is a very busy place and rightfully so. Hard to find great Italian food, but we did.

Well... a genuinely warm welcome, a happy waiter who smiled as he worked, made suggestions on menu items but not in a robotic fashion often experienced.
Delicious wine. Fantastic soup to start (tomato/chicken, with small pearls of pasta) and a main entree of sausage and fettuccini. Great bread to wipe up the pasta sauce flavors afterwards.
Good brief conversation with other diners and also the chef too.
There is a reason this place is so highly regarded in this area. The reason is the people, because they make this a number 1 in my mind.
Such good quality food and service!!

- Great breakfast options ( Omelets, Biscuits and Gravy is what we had)
- Friendly Staff
- Wait times can be long (15min to 20min despite it being 10am)
- Parking can be a challenge too as its in a residential neighbourhood - but if you drive around long enough, you can find a spot.
- Definitely check it out if in San Matteo

We flew to San Francisco to start a cruise, no time to visit the Fisherman's Wharf Boudin as on many previous visits. We noticed the little Boudin at the airport, bought sandwiches for lunch on the way to our hotel. We had forgotten how good the sourdough was in San Francisco....sandwiches delicious, cookies wonderful, fast and friendly service. We only wish that we were flying out of San Fran after the cruise so that we could take some loaves home with us!

At In-N-Out Burger, quality is everything. Stop by to enjoy our menu of hamburgers, cheeseburgers, french fries and shakes. In-N-Out makes fast food the old fashioned way.

For fast food, this is a great option. Limited selection, staying true to the In-N-Out concept. Ate a double decker with onion and I was completely stoked about flavor. Juicy burger, melted cheese, and quick service (considering the close to airport location.) In not a super huge fan of the fries, but they get an A+ for what they were (can't be mad that they aren't my preference on fry...the west coast doesn't have Chic-Fil-A like we do on every corner on the easy coast.) You can't beat the prices, the restrooms were clean, location is convenient, and the service was kind and fast...most of all, it was delicious which is why we're all here, right? I wouldn't typically recommend stuffing your face into a burger...but maybe you should if you're in CA for the first time like me!

And we want to be the place where you hold your business meetings or celebrate life’s milestones — birthdays, graduations, engagements, weddings and more.

I had just arrived in SF after a cross-country flight and was starved. I was looking for some traditional ‘American’ cuisine. I saw the online menu at Jack’s and walked over from my nearby motel. I’m glad I did. I thoroughly enjoyed the meatloaf which was served atop mashed potatoes, topped with crispy onion rings. I ordered a side salad which was very good. My server, Jonathan, was most professional and friendly. The atmosphere can be described as an upscale diner. Prices are not cheap, but fair for the quality and amount of food received.

Went there for dinner last night and had a great dinning experience. Joel who took my order was very nice, friendly and with great recommendations. I opted to go with the small pizza with mushrooms and it was plenty for even 2 people. Very fresh ingredients as well as great pricing. A bottle of local red wine for $14, not a bad deal. Highly recommend going there!

I visited on a Friday at lunch time. The place is like a typical road side stand you see in New England. I ordered soup and salad. They are fresh and tasty but nothing spectacular. I like the setting. There are out door seatings as well. Across the Westin hotel, you can see SFO take off and landing. Will come back for their sandwich the next trip.
