Super kid friendly and food is great!
This place is a treat. They have a relatively small menu but everything is perfection. I am not a huge port fan but the pork chop is 10/10.
Grungy, Southern and American food joint in SF. I loved the punk-NOLA themed interior. Food was a little dry but the service with a smile was what made it better.
