“104 year old classic diner.“

“I had dinner tonight and the food is delicious and the service of the staff that serves you is very nice“

“Excellent staff,friendly,lovely people Food amazing 👌👌 every day we’ve been walking here for breakfast Absolutely stunning Highly recommendation Thanks for everything“

“Wow, it’s highly recommended. We had a birthday party and people who worked there are nice and genuine. Thank you Sanfrancisco and thank you Pork Store Cafe🌹“

“We came in on a Friday afternoon looking for some quality fare, and were taken care of by Jasmin herself and her coworker at the time. We had the cheeseburger and double burger, and all of the sides (tater tots, fries, onion rings). Not only was all the food freshly cooked in front of us, everything was perfectly crispy, and packed with flavor.

And Jasmin! I'm going to echo all the comments made by others and just say she is the sweetest host. She's about as Korean ajumma as you can get, in terms of hospitality and making sure you're fed. She's ready to make your day the best way she can, and with a smile on her face.

I hope she continues to be a staple of the neighborhood for the next 20 years and beyond!

P.s. buy a tote bag!“

“The food and service at Slider Buns is fantastic! The staff is super welcoming and friendly and efficient and there is a super affordable lunch special available ($12 for a burger, fries, and drink) weekdays. Great comfort food (burgers, fried food, etc.)“

““Wow! Just had an amazing meal at the new 16th Street Diner. The omelette was fluffy and packed with flavor, and the chicken sandwich was crispy and juicy. The service was top-notch, and the overall vibe of the place was super positive. So glad I tried this new spot – I’ll definitely be back!”“

“Such a cute little diner. Barstools and two to four person tables. Got there at noon, could take a seat wherever, and from order in my food I was served 7 minutes later. My waffle with strawberries and whipped cream was delightful. Definition of a mom and pop joint - two up front, one cook in the back. There were some regulars who the owners knew and greeted by name - everyone was very friendly. If laid back classic American breakfast fare is your deal I would highly recommend.“

“Loved it! The people, the story, all of it! So friendly and patient. They shared the whole history with us upon request. Food was fast and very good. We will visit again! — And the tabletops were just like our local burger place from when I was a kid!“

“5 stars on atmosphere since I ordered to go, but it seemed pretty peaceful and clean.

I'm a pretty no frills guy, and in that respect, the food was on point. Hashbrown were perfectly crispy, bacon was perfectly rendered and great to munch on, and the biscuts and gravy were as awesome as comfort food as I grew up with. The scrambled eggs were not overcooked or dry. I just wish I had some tabasco sauce to eat it with. Kudos for earning me as a returning customer after one trip.“

“This is an absolute gem of a place. If you want that authentic diner feel with great food and great service then head over to David’s. Yes it may be a bit run down and yes it’s not in the greatest area of town but the food and the service are second to none. George was super friendly and attentive without ever actually interrupting us while having our breakfast. He answered all of our questions, he took time to have a chat with us and generally made us fell special.“

“Ive been coming here since I was 7. it's like stepping back in time! Best Patty Melt!!! Love that it never changes!!!!“

“Muy buena atención Y muy delicioso 😋“

“walked past and everytime full so called in food was absolutely awesome friendly staff helping out English man in San Francisco with wife“

“Perfect lunch or anytime spot for comfort food and great service!“

“Awesome diner experience. Chicken and waffles was far out!“

“Small restaurant located on Taravel outer sunset. It was my first time eating here and won't be my last! Service was great and friendly. We got a bunch of different dishes, my favorite is their soy sauce chicken. I loved the saltiness of it.

They also have some already made Asian savory snacks to go and have duck/cha siu/chicken...

My family didn't know they close at 6:30pm and we got there at 6pm. They were very friendly the whole time and we were the last table to leave. My family thought it was weird they were cleaning up and some workers were leaving, we didn't think it's because they actually closed. We thanked everyone at the end and the person chopping the meats at the front was so kind and actually thanked us for coming to support their business it was such a cute and wholesome moment.

Overall Rating: 10/10“

“We are on a quick trip to San Francisco and wanted to drop by a local joint for lunch. We picked this place at random and are soooo glad we did. It has such a casual vibe and the food is amazing. It's very friendly and down to earth and feels like you're stopping by a friend's place to eat. We couldn't make up our mind, so we ordered burgers and pancakes. 10/10, would definitely come back.“
