Corned Beef on rye served on rye TOAST. There's a first for everything! My guess is the bread was stale so they toasted it(not disclosed by waiter), or maybe it's a SF thing!

I hope these classic city diners never go out of business. Perfect stop before or after a theater visit nearby. Choose from the Horseshoe bar or the Celebrity room. Food is classic NY deli style with the perfect ambiance of great tunes and comfortable stools. Wait staff seem like they were cast from a movie. I heard at least 2 languages beside English from customers and staff held conversations with all of them. This is a perfect example of why I love San Francisco and hope it never changes.

I recently visited this restaurant and had a mixed experience overall. The staff were friendly enough, though service wasn’t perfect—there were a few small missteps here and there, but nothing too terrible. The restaurant itself had a unique setup, which made it interesting to look around, though it did feel a bit cramped and not as clean as I would have liked.

As for the food, I ordered a burger that ended up being a disappointment. It was slightly undercooked, and there was some gristle that made it hard to fully enjoy. The fries and potato salad were okay nothing too special though. The portion sizes were also smaller than expected, leaving me wishing there was a bit more on the plate.

All in all, while there were some positives like the atmosphere and decent service, the food quality and cleanliness issues held this visit back. I might give it another shot if I’m in the area, but it’s not a place I would go out of my way for.

Nice service, nice ambiance, the servers were super chill and attentive!!!

Awesome place to stop for food!
I had the lox, onion, capers on a croissant - well, there was also A LOT of cream cheese. My husband had the pastrami omelette. Big portions. Maybe mention if you don't want tomatoes, b/c fresh slices came with both meals.

I like old diners and delicatessens. This place was a major disappointment. Ordered a hot pastrami with pickles and coleslaw, and a corned beef sandwich with French fries. The pastrami was days old, dry and stringy fat. The corned beef was marginally better. Pickles were mush and gross. French fries were inedible. I'm not a picky person but David's really needs to just close. $60 bucks for two sandwiches and a Coca Cola, including a $10 tip.

The ONLY thing nice about David's is the story and interior which is vintage '50s and legit. If you must eat on this block, I recommend the Pinecrest diner on the corner down the block. Pinecrest is solid. Don't eat at David's. Walk in, look around at the time capsule, and move on.

We went eat at lunch last week and we had food poisoning. My wife had to go to emergency room and one of our son had to go see a doctor next day. Avoid this place and save a trip to hospital

We popped in for breakfast and sat at the bar. Loads of choice! I had the shakshouka- it was delicious! My husband had the spiced chickpea salad-he is vegetarian-it was one of his best breakfasts of our trip!
Our server was really friendly and it was a relaxed affair. Fruit salad that my daughter ordered was big and fresh. Recommend a visit, for breakfast we can vouch for it!
