Perfection! Great service, amazing food, throwback diner. Must visit local cafe in the mission.

Killer omelet! Don't skip the $3.50 homemade pickled jalapeños... they're next‑level!!! Grabbed extra to take home and they were the perfect accoutrement. read more

This was my third time here at Al's Super Cafe. Larry is the man! Super patient and takes his time to give every customer equal attention. I ordered the corned beef hash for breakfast. They also have a nice lunch menu as well! I treated myself to a blueberry pancake on the side. Definitely was a nice balance. Everything was made to order and the corned beef, hash brown, and eggs were flavorful and hit the spot. I always enjoy the conversations with Larry, he has so many stories! One of my favorite things there is their house made chili oil sauce! Incredible! So much seating inside and at the counter. I also admire the vintage photos on the wall. A real old school feel. Looking forward to my next visit! read more

I was drawn in by the nostalgic feel. Owner is friendly. Prices are not my cheap for the atmosphere, portion size and quality of food. Overall, I would have done better going to 4 chairs next door. read more

Al's Super Cafe is a no frills old school diner. They have historic art, the red tables and black&white tiles are so classic. The big thing that stood out to me here was the top notch service! They guy who served us was so warm, welcoming, and the food came out timely and hot. We enjoyed a cup of coffee and I got the biscuits and gravy. Wow the portion was huge!! The potatoes were crispy, the eggs were a little greasy for me, but again, the perfect diner food!! I barely could finish the meal, it was hardy, seasoned well. Some may say the perfect hangover food. The biscuits were soft, gravy was dense, delicious. The prices were really good too. I seriously recommend stopping by for breakfast/brunch/lunch! read more

Great comfort food with fantastic service. You come for delicious food and leave with a full belly and a smile.

I had a craving for a classic diner breakfast, the kind that'll stick to your ribs but not put you into a coma or spike your blood sugar. Al's was a solid choice. I had a vegetarian omelet that was perfect. I appreciated how it was just a bit under salted but well complemented with dashes of tabasco. I was also happy that it wasn't runny even with the tomatoes and vegetables. And of course the hash browns were nicely crispy outside!! Pancakes and sunny side up eggs next time! read more

Solid diner. My family ate here this morning and everyone enjoyed their meal. I got the pancake plate and they were some of the best pancakes I've had in a while. My kids got waffles and French toast. My wife got a Mediterranean omelette. The coffee was good and the service was fast. We got there early and found ample street parking in front. This place a diner akin to Nations...but more of a neighborhood spot and loaded with nostalgia. read more

I REALLY loved this place!!! My husband got the Denver Omelete and I got the NY Steak..... yummy!!! Price was right, customer service was awesome and the food was sooo fresh! Steak u could cut with a butter knife. As a matter a fact I did! The onions and bell peppers in the omelette was like it was picked out of his yard!! We were kinda bummed about the parking I think the city was doing work but WOW don't sleep on this place. U will regret it! read more

Great old school diner! Corned beef hash hit the spot. Pancake combo was a hit with my boy. So good! read more

I love this place. From the quirky interior to the delicious food. I also got such a kick walking right past the line at the expensive brunch place next door. They have no idea what they are missing at Al's. I'll be back! read more

This is a nice breakfast find for myself! All the portions were perfect and fairly priced. This isn't as good for breakfast as other diners but it definitely hits when you're starving in the morning! The corned beef hash and potatoes were cooked to perfection, it was crispy and soft! My wife loved their fluffiness of their pancakes but a little bit of vanilla would go a long way. Finally, the omelette was delicious and has everything you'd expect and not over cooked. read more

On my visit to Al's Super Cafe on Mission for breakfast, I had a great experience. The cozy ambiance and friendly staff made me feel welcome. The omelettes and corn beef hash with eggs stood out - they were flavorful and perfectly cooked. Despite a bit of a wait during busy times, the delicious dishes made it worthwhile. If you're looking for a delightful breakfast, Al's Super Cafe is worth considering for their tasty omelettes and corn beef hash with eggs. Plus points for the tasty house made breakfast salsa read more

Al's Super Cafe - Corned Beef Hash and Eggs - American Near Me - San Francisco, California

Local neighborhood Cafe shop with an extensive breakfast and lunch menu, plenty of seating and reasonable prices ($10-15 avg. meal per person). The people who run this place are really sweet. I got sidetracked with my order forgoing my usual egg scrambles for a tex mex potatos with a side of sunnyside up eggs. It wasn't heavily seasoned. Could have benefitted from doing roasted potatoes or something that gave the potatoes a bit more crispy texture rather than slicing it like potatoes au gratin. Great service, even better fresh squeezed orange juice. read more

This place just makes me happy! Old school SF vibes. My mom used to bring me here when I was a kid, and I've kept coming back over the years. Just grabbed breakfast to-go, and it hit the spot, like always. When I'm craving something simple but delicious, this is my spot. The portions are solid, the prices aren't crazy and I'm so glad they're still serving up deliciousness :) read more

Good old time diner breakfast! Delicious chicken fried steak, hash browns, pancakes and corned beef hash. Service is traditional diner style- if it's crowded you wait- felt nice to slow down, not be rushed and anticipate the meal to come. Looking forward to our next visit soon! read more

Al's Super Cafe - Pancake delight and the chicken fried steak with scrambled eggs ( added cheese), and side of corned beef hash - American Near Me - San Francisco, California

I'd been eyeing this place for a good while and always remained on the fence about giving it a try. I liked the old-school vibe and what I saw on the menu, but it was always empty despite the cavernous size. I finally rolled in for breakfast one morning excited to try what the menu described as "fresh" corned beef hash. I've not found a good place for corned beef hash since Manor Coffee Shop in West Portal closed down. I am picky I suppose, because real corned beef hash, when made with distinct shreds of corned beef is a top 5 breakfast for me, whereas canned corn beef hash in its pink-gray slurry form is about as edible to me as dog food. Well, their hash is dog food alright, despite what the menu claims, but maybe others might not mind it. What was even less excusable were my over easy eggs cooked with snotty whites on both sides. I don't mind a runny yolk, but come on. If your diner cook can't fry an egg to order, what are you even doing here? All this with an under brewed cup of joe in an otherwise empty restaurant. This is a neat space and I'm sure the location has a history, but the people running it are doing a beyond indifferent job. read more

I have not visited the cafe yet, but I order their brunch via Grubhub regularly. Price is reasonably cheap. Food is tasty and portions are decent enough. This place is more like a diner-ish type of brunch place than some place fancy with the girls. But I love diner-ish fares!!! Allow some time to get your food thru Grubhub. They're quite popular and gets A LOT of orders!!! And be specific on the order notes as to any specific omissions because of food allergies and such. They do read and follow the notes!!! Keep up with the good food in my Grubhub orders!!! read more

I was disappointed that the waffle was not fresh, it was from the freezer, and it was not toasted through so it was cold inside. They were attentive, but I didn't want them to warm it up since I didn't want to eat a frozen waffle. Husband had an omlet and said that it was good. Coffee was not great. read more

The food is delicious! No frills kind of diner and I love the old hollywood decor. I have been going here since the early 2000s and Larry the owner treats his customers like family! Highly recommend the French toast and fish n chips! read more

This is probably a good neighborhood spot, but it's probably not worth going out of your way to eat here for the perfectly average, fine food. RESERVATIONS Made for 12:30pm on a Sunday a day in advance, but it was completely unnecessary. It was empty except for one other diner. It was apparently much busier earlier that morning. THE SERVICE This is a one-man show (chef, host, server was all one person!). He was really nice and was doing a lot. Our food still came out quickly and was good. Probably because there wasn't more staff, he did not check for poof of vaccination. KID-FRIENDLINESS There was a single high chair in the restaurant. Lucky we got it! THE COST $53.25 before tips for brunch for 3 adults, 2 babies. THE FOOD * French Toast + fruit ($8.25 + $2) - 3.5 stars Perfectly fine! * Mediterranean Scrambler ($10.95) - 3.5 stars read more

This is my new favorite breakfast delivery joint. I'm surprised Al's doesn't have a higher Yelp score. Overall would do again! ORDERED: Corned Beef Hash w Over Easy Eggs + Coffee. WINNERS: Corned Beef Hash comes from a can, fried up in a smash patty and predictably good. Eggs were cooked over easy with yolky center just as ordered. The included hash browns were a winner, chipped/shredded potatoes like in gratins and griddle fried home style. EHH: Coffee was just MID but not terrible. read more

Don't expect a fancy place with all bells and whistles. Menu offering many breakfasts, salads, hamburgers, and other delectable items. I've had one of the omelets, fish and chips, hamburgers, and recently pork chops and eggs. Nice portions and deliriously prepared. The owner is very nice and makes you feel welcome. Courteous service. Coffee could be a little stronger. read more

Amazing lil diner. Not too many real diners left in America like this. The food tasted great and insanely cheap for SF. We were given a homemade salsa (that I wasn't expecting haha) which was so tasty. Service was awesome and quick, nice people there. The vibes inside are super cooky but fun, a lot of frank Sinatra memorabilia all over. Def recommend if you like casual diners. read more

As soon as I stepped in, smiles and greetings followed by this old cute asian man! The cafe itself looks like the 80s, very vintage, and you can tell it serves locals! We were seated immediately and served with coffee. I got the french toast with fruit, and my friends got pancakes, bacon, eggs, and toast. my french toast was deliciously cinnamon-ey, and pancakes were fluffy!! The man made sure our food was great and that our coffee cups were always full. Enjoyed this lil gem that I found! Will definitely come back!! :) read more

Old school diner with straight forward delicious food that are reasonably priced. Do not judge the chicken fried steak by its look, it's much more tasty than it appears.
