tl;dr: Hearty, classic diner brunch with a corned beef hash Benedict worth daydreaming about. Service can lag when it's busy, and the restrooms need some TLC, but the vintage charm and flavor-packed plates make it a satisfying stop for a leisurely weekend morning.
If you are craving a no-frills American diner breakfast elevated just enough to make it memorable, Pork Store Cafe delivers. The corned beef hash Benedict is a flavor bomb with perfectly poached eggs over savory, crispy-edged hash, smothered in rich hollandaise. Portions are generous without being overwhelming. Service is warm but slow, especially when the place is buzzing, so this is better for a relaxed morning than a quick bite. Atmosphere is pure diner nostalgia with vinyl booths, laminated menus, and the comforting clatter from the kitchen. The restrooms could be cleaner and more accessible, but overall, it is a fun and delicious brunch spot for those who appreciate a classic American breakfast experience.

Update: Been already back several times in May and June when I was back in town. It was the same great experience as the last two times. The food is awesome and the staff the greatest I've seen for a long time. Will be back for sure in September...! ---- Were there twice during the last 10 days. The food is fresh made and absolutely delicious and with affordable prices. The service is very attentive and friendly. The business kept its charme from the good ole days. It's gonna be my favorite spot for breakfast and lunch in Haight/Ashbury. Highly recommended...!

I have been waiting to try this place out, lines out the door all the time which makes it more tempting. I finally made a visit, was greeted/welcomed in by their friendly staff and seated quickly without a wait. They offer both breakfast and lunch which is always a plus and I knew exactly what I wanted. The food and service was top notch, probably one of the best breakfast spots I have ever had. Very nice people with a uplifting atmosphere. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a breakfast joint or just some where to be laid back. I definitely will be back to try out the other delicious options they have to offer.

Despite being constantly slammed, the staff is always lovely, attentive and accommodating. The food is delicious, and the portions are huge. We adore this San Francisco institution. The homemade sausage is addictive and spicy! Have never had anything but wonderful experiences here, even with a long wait, ordering take out, or larger groups. We love Pork Store!

The food is very tasteless and not a quality restaurant at all. They do not care about hygiene and the employees are very disrespectful to the customers.👎

Liked the old school diner vibe and that there were a lot of regulars here. Coffee and breakfast sandwich were pretty good but not a fan of the pancake texture. Great and fast service, and a very good price!
I love this Cafe! What can I say Everytime I come here I try a new dish always on point. While we waited Amber came out and served some coffee. What a gem. Thank you for such a wonderful experience.

A very nice, authentic place. Breakfast buritto was so super good. Portions are huge, you can take one and split between two. Coffee not so good, but cheap and free refill. Service is super good. Thanks

Always good! I like the mission location better, but only because it's bigger & easier to get a table. The parking options are better well.
great service, great bacon omelette, I even got a gold star for finishing my plate ⭐️😊

Found this in google the night before looking for a tatsy breakfast option. I was skeptical since this place is in a touristy area but omg, our breakfast burrito was delicious. It was the perfect amount of heat and flavor. The service was super quick and looked like a one woman show. She was super attentive in filling our coffee and making sure our burrito was split in 2. I would recommend this place for sure!
