Will never be back! 7/17/2009

Long wait! We decided to have some drinks at a bar while we waited for our table but nobody helped us. Bartenders saw us but just ignored. Hello? They could get more money if they serve us drinks!!! After the long wait, we were assigned to a table right next to the rest rooms. We had to listen water noise and stinky bath room air freshener. \r \r The menu was too complicated! We ordered a plate whatever the name. The description was blah-blah-blah, sausage or veggie gravy. Everyone on my table thought the option was ""sausage"" or ""veggie gravy"". When we ordered, the server yelled at us we were wrong. Thanks for the education! We had to read it ""sausage gravy"" or ""veggie gravy"". We asked her to make a plate with a sausage and other stuff. She kept arguing with us to correct it. We ended up paying ""an extra sausage"" with a weird gravy sauce that none of us touched. Oh, she totally forgot to ask us other options for the plate. It should have a biscuit or a muffin or something like that. She was too busy to ""lecture"" us how to read the menu.\r Cons: bad table, bad server, bad service more

Busy but worth it! 6/10/2008

Everytime I have freinds from LA or a late night in town PSC is the first place we go on Saturday. Yes, there will be a wait and yes it is very small but, once you are in, your coffee will never see the bottom of its cup and I highly recommend (Pork eaters) the PSC special. It consists of two pork chops, eggs-your choice, potatoes or O'brian potatoes a biscuit-ask for their gravy and I believe a muffin or english muffin. I am a big guy and every time I eat at PSC believe it or not I am full all day! It is comfort food and the staff is very busy but, quick, kind and helpful. I also recommend their fried chicken...smaller portion then the prior meal mentioned but if you are in a lunch mood it is excellent. PSC por vida. Pros: Great comfort food, great for carb lovers Cons: Packed with SF yippies...half yuppy/half hippy. more

Cure your hangover in here!!! 3/9/2008

We went there (party of 6) on a saturday morning at 9am. It was not crowded at all. They won't let you make reservations between 10.30am - 1:30pm... I guess that's when It get super busy in there. All of us had breakfast, coffee and mimosas and we spent about 75 plus tip. The service was ""casual"" but friendly. This is the kind of place you don't have to dress up to go to brunch. Everybody looks like they just rolled out of bed. The crowd is young and the food is good. Pros: grits, omlettes, mimosas Cons: small ""wably"" tables more

LARGE PORTIONS, LONG WAIT ON THE WEEKENDS BUT WORTH THE WAIT AND HOOKAH AT NIGHT 12/5/2007

first off parking is horrible... long wait on the weekends.... staff is busy but still have manners (on the weekends), large portions, they have a booth that fits 5-6 people. they also have hookah at night Pros: large portions, decent prices, hookah at night Cons: parking is tough, long wait to be seated on the weekends more

Good food, bad waitstaff 8/23/2006

I recently went here and the breakfast came out quickly and was delicious. However, the waitress we had was AWFUL. My boyfriend and I are a very friendly couple, I don't know why we received such attitude. I would try their Haight street branch... more

Pretty decent food. 7/5/2006

I love breakfast and there aren't too many spots to get it at...or so it seems. I tried this place out, and the food although not fabulous, was still quite tasty. I think I must have ordered three meals all for myself. I can never pick just one!\r \r It gets busy so get there super early or after the morning rush. Pros: Good, cheap food. Cons: Long wait. more

Vegan food at the Pork Store 4/17/2006

While visiting the city, I was craving some happy, healthy food with substance. A friend recommended meeting at the Pork Store Cafe. At first, the name threw me. I wasn't expecting to find vegetarian items (or VEGAN for that matter!) on the menu. The menu is predominately filled with pig (bacon, ham and pork chops), and there are many piggy options. There are a few other items that are vegan safe, which was really surprising. All in all, the meal was great. There were Mango Mimosas (which seem to be popular in the mission) and prompt service. I would recommend the place and definately return next time I'm in town! Pros: inexpensive, diverse more

Where long lines actually fit the bill! 11/17/2005

This place is my top pick for breakfast! The platters always come with a ton of food and my coffee cup is never empty! There's always a consistent quality of service and food here: SUPERB! I can't think of a better way to start off your morning with a good meal and then shopping it up on Haight St. Pros: Large portions, Inexpensive, Service Cons: Long wait, small place more

Yummy yum! 8/18/2005

Ive only eaten at the Pork Store once, and it was delightful. It was my first taste of Eggs Florentine, and Im going back for seconds. In fact, all our food was tasty. The service was not great, but nothing unbearable. Pros: tasty, good price more

Great neighborhood spot 7/27/2005

Very relaxed atmosphere with good food at a great value. Pros: Relaxed, Food, Cost Cons: Ambiance more

worst service ever 8/13/2003

I own a shop down the street and took some guests to Sunday Brunch. We had to wait and the hostess forgot about us. When we finally got seated and ordered, it took 30 minutes and the orders were wrong. The management had no apologies for such bad service. Cons: attitude, poor service, bad management more

This place is Rude 6/16/2003

I have given Bitterroot a couple of tries and I have to say that I am still dissapointed. I had a previous experience with the owner and she was completely rude and unapolgetic about loosing our order and letting us sit there for an hour before admitting it. I would reccoment Boogaloos if you can stand the wait. Cons: rude, unfriendly management, slow service more

If yer hankering for US comfort food 1/30/2003

The menu here isnt fancy so if youre looking for something different, Bitterroot isnt your place. But the food is great at providing the classics that you sometimes crave. I love the Cajun Chicken Sandwich, chicken fried with spices and grilled onions on a roll. Brunch here is an institution. Ask them to make their Asparesto Omelete, a combination of asparagus and pesto or their Vegetarian Chorizo Omelete- a tasty number that will have you forgetting that its a healthy alternative. more

cool brunch place 1/14/2003

my boyfriend and i went to bitterroot for brunch one day.. they servers were fast, friendly and very helpful... their corned beef hash and eggs were yummy.. more

bitterroot's my fav 6/28/2002

I have no idea what the previous two reviewers are talking about. Upon visiting Bitterroot for brunch for the first time, I found my mug ever-brimming with hot coffee and my sourdough french toast sandwich ever-so-satisfying. I've since discovered the spanish omelettes, taco salads, and fresh squeezed OJ. More than anything, though, I may have become such an enthusiastic regular because of the staff's drop dead good looks, in addition to their friendliness. more

Sunday Brunch 5/18/2002

The weekend brunch is definitely one of the hidden hipster hangouts in the city--yes you'll have to wait a while to be seated, but I've always found the witstaff to be very friendly, even if they are a bit goofy. The food is served in large portions, and the whacky western theme is fun. Definitely recommended if only for the people-watching... more
