I love Outerlands, it's a beautiful, small and cozy space and at dinner time it is lit just right. We were a large group seated by the window, and the service was truly impeccable. The String Theory & River Crossing cocktails are two of the best drinks I've ever had, anywhere. They make that aperitivo rossa themselves, OMG. Balanced perfection and, oh, just SO GOOD! Outstanding mixology.The starters were great (esp the kohlrabi salad--GET IT!), but a bunch of us had the chicken as our main and it was sadly disappointing. It might seem extreme to give three stars for food based primarily on the chicken alone, but I do feel that chicken is such a foundational/cornerstone dish for a restaurant, the chef should feel compelled to put out the best possible version they can. It was dry, the skin wasn't crisp enough, and it was accompanied by a crouton, chicory, and fennel salad that was very tart and one dimensional, totally missing balance (I think it needed some currants or golden raisins--SOME spec of sweetness to offset the VERY bitter chicories and the lemon vinaigrette). All five of us who ordered the chicken left half the food on our plate--and we're hearty guys who love to eat. Please, take a critical look at this dish. Your customers are loyal and we love you and want you to succeed. BTW, great date night ambiance!

The star of the meal both times I've been for brunch has been whichever savory scone or biscuit is on the menu (specific flavor/ingredients differ). Will come back just for this.

Found at least 4 pieces of hair in my food. Strands of hair were not mine unfortunately. Manager took the meal off the bill (nothing else) but still had to pay the service fee. Never was asked if I wanted something else.

Sf brunch culture is non existent but outerlands makes me wish it were more prominent. Solid portions too. Really enjoyed coming here, my favorite item was the breakfast sandwich. It

The business model is odd. You order and tip before you sit down. Meaning there is no waitstaff checking on your food, if you need anything or vested in your satisfaction. The food menu was much more limited than what is in the photos here. The food order was wrong when delivered. The bacon was undercooked. Coffee was bitter. I think this place would be better for drinks.

I've been to this place three times just for one dish (Danish pancake), and all three times, I couldn't try it. I had to wait in line for 45 min each time only to hear, "Sorry, but it's already sold out." All my hopes went down the drain. I ended up getting a barbecue pork sandwich, but nowhere does it mention that the sandwich has a mix of salad with onions. Again, I couldn't enjoy my food. I probably won't be coming back.

MY SUNSET FAVORITEI checked this place out randomly on a friday brunch around 11.30am. I was last there years ago, and I am sure somewhere between time they renovated and turned it up in there... WOW. I am very impressed about the place. A few blocks from Ocean Beach with Muni access rite in front of the restaurant. I can only imagine how the vibe is at summer time. There was a 15-minute wait, but that's good to know for first-timers. It has outdoor sitting, but with this area, I'd recommend a jacket for sure unless u know the avenues have ?. Hehehe. They give u a menu, and we pay at the door before we get seated. Mine was "Table 8" and if this post does get to the owner someday, id love to name a tropical drink Table 8 since I came all the way from the South Pacific for this amazing brunch.. hehehe. Staff, outstanding, quality service, cleanliness, and food were so super tasty, and u can tell it's organic and fresh. So if they open at 11 am and I got there at 11.30 am and waited for 15mins, u know it's good..... I'd recommend it any day, and I can't wait to check out the dinner vibe and also summertime. I've never given a 6 Star, but I am giving these guys a 6Star. Thank U guys ?Wheelchair accessibility: Street level

Great breakfast chia bowl and eggs benefit on bagel plus energy shots!!Very delicious and friendly helpful staff!!Great location and great neighborhood, great seating in and outside!Highly
Decent little breakfast spot in Outer Sunset. I like the concept of ordering and paying at the front then getting seated. The food was delicious! I recommend mushroom toast if you like goat cheese!Parking isn’t too bad either. Only had to park a block away on the street.

Arrived 1115 on a Saturday (party of 6) and were told the wait was 50 minutes for outside seating. Inside seating was a longer wait. ? We returned 50 minutes later, and they took our order, and we were seated. Most of us ordered the Breakfast Sandwich with various adds. It was good and very tasty. ?? They ran out of Dutch pancake, so we ordered the Dark Chocolate Orange and Pecan Scone, which was good but the top was too hard for me. We ordered the Hot Lemon Ginger Apple Cider which was good but very strong, we added water after drinking half a glass to dilute the taste; flavor is stronger at the bottom. It was cold outside and they provide blankets, if available; we only got one. If you're not in a hurry and have the patience, food is good. Finding parking is difficult. FYI- they add 10% in addition to tip.

This is a popular brunch place so be prepared to wait in line for your table. The aveage wait time is about 30 - 45 minutes, depending on your party size and the time you arrived.Our group were seated fairly quickly and the food also arrived not too long after.The staff were great from start to finish; the food quality was also good. Every one in our group also loved their coffee.I'd recommend if you're visiting this area and are down for a good brunch!
