The lamb dish was surprisingly delicious. Potatoes are crispy and tangy with the feta. The spinach was rich in garlic flavor. The lamb was well seasoned and cooked to a tender medium rare as requested. Enough for two meals. We had a pretty large party with toddlers and babies. Service was friendly and attentive! read more

We stopped by Boulevard Cafe for breakfast and ended up really impressed. Service was quick and efficient, and the portions were larger than expected, which made it feel like a great value. I ordered the Top of the Morning with scrambled eggs, applewood bacon, English muffins, and hash browns. Everything came out hot and filling. George went with the Three-egg Chorizo Scramble with onions and pepper jack cheese, plus hash browns and toast. He also tried a side of hollandaise, but it did not stand out since it tasted more like it came from a packaged mix. One thing that stood out right away was how generous the servings were. The eggs seemed bigger than usual, and neither of us left hungry. The space itself was clean, bright, and had a modern feel, which made the experience even better. Parking was a bit tight and we were lucky to grab the last spot, but it was worth it. Overall, the food was satisfying, the atmosphere was welcoming, and we both walked away happy. It definitely feels like one of those places you are glad you discovered. read more

Five stars for retro cool ambiance as well aa the mussels and clams special, except no clams please. I think my waiter was Renaldo and he took very good care of me as a solo diner. I actually had never eaten here but have been to Jack's quite a few times. Moules Frites are one of my favorite treats but clams are my least favorite mollusk and i was thrilled to have the special customized with all mussels. The fries were above average and dipped into the liquid gold that tasted of garlic, butter, warming spices, white wine and the sea. Every shell opened and the mussels were tiny and tender. The mussing star is because a my refilled half glass of iced tea was accidentally dumped on me as my plates were being cleared. Apologies were abundant, but it was a cold evening and my pants were soaked so it was a chilly walk to the car. read more

I haven't ate at a diner in a while and heard good things about Boulevard so had to give it a try today. Service here is very fast our food was out probably in less than 10 minutes. My corned beef hash tasted great. Portions aren't too big where you can't finish and the price is, well I guess normal in today's economy. read more

In SF visiting with family and met up at the Boulevard Cafe. Restaurant has a large dining area which allows to seat large groups. We were a party of 12 and I felt we were a pretty easy group. However, our waiter had so many eye rolls and sighs when we had questions. Not sure why he was in a bad mood but we noticed. If the gratuity wasnt included, his tip would have been very different. Now the food was good. Large portions and food came all at the same time. No complaints there. I've heard breakfast is pretty good so maybe I'll come back. read more

Came here for dinner on a weekday night. Was seated promptly and order taken right away. However, no one checked in after that. Water not even refilled. I can't believe I left upset even if the food was satisfactory. Ambiance is casual with casual attire. They took away my phone when I had a gift card. I don't think you can do that for security and safety purposes. Did not expect this to go from a previous great experience to a visit making me not want to come back or recommend to others. Very unfortunate. read more

Amazing experience at this restaurant! I always pass by this place as I live nearby, and I finally got the chance to try it. They have a wide variety of cocktails, and even a happy hour if that's up your alley! I tried out their lamb burger, which is made out of 100% lamb, and it was juicy and delectable. The blvd pasta was everything as well and super delicious and savory. The tamarindo sour and espresso martini were perfect. Lastly, to end the meal I tried their apple pie a-la-mode, and it was the best apple pie I've ever had! Ambience inside is elegant yet casual, and the staff were super kind! Although, I only tried two dishes I genuinely believe you can't go wrong with choosing any of their dishes because everything I had this time around was perfect! Give them a shot fs if you want a satisfying meal! read more

Went there today and there were errors with every single order. Undercooked, burnt, missing items, improper preparation. Even sent one plate back for the burned food and the replacement was undercooked. Inexperienced wait staff. Inexperienced supervisor. We used to host many parties there, but will not be going back. In addition the cooks think caramelized onions are sautéed onions even after inquiring with the kitchen. The sausage gravy had no sausage. They only carry cow's milk for lattes. The calamari was excellent. Lattes were excellent as well. I was wondering as I arrived why there was so much parking when I arrived. read more

Nice friendly environment with great staff couldn't have asked for better service. The team was very attentive, making sure that we had everything that we need. The Food- The Bread! It's was warm and the butter made it amazing. Schwan ribs. These were tangy flavorful and cooked perfectly I could have eaten nothing but this and been happy. Boneless buffalo wings. Good size wings, very tender, not dried the buffalo sauce added great flavor really did like these. Scampy prawns. The prawns were good sized. They weren't over cooked. Very well, seasoned. The pasta was cooked al dente. Chicken asiago- very large piece of chicken, very juicy, very juicy, even though it was flattened. Pasta was el dente just like the prawns. Alongside good portion of vegetables served alongside. Fried Chicken- add of the three dishes we had. This one was a REAL disappointment. It was more like a banquet chicken tv dinner than anything else. Each piece of chicken was more batter and chicken fat than meat, not a lot of meat on the dish again real disappointment. DO NOT ORDER! Chocolate Cake. When they brought the piece of cake, I was like, really, is that it that little slice, I kind of felt like Joey from friends, asking for more. Very rich. But half a slice! Really! For the most part, it was a great experience really can not get over how bad the fried chicken was. Maybe because it was my dish and everyone else enjoyed theirs. read more

I love a cute, old fashioned diner. If that's your scene, this is totally the place for you. With a chic cabin aesthetic and friendly staff, it's a great place to start the day with breakfast or brunch. I ordered the Greek yogurt and a side of sourdough, the portion was large and filling, but most importantly, it was the best Greek yogurt I've ever had at a brunch location. The yogurt was creamy and thick, the consistency I've only ever really found when shopping at farmers markets. The granola, honey, and fresh berries made for the heartiest breakfast. I'll certainly be coming back to try other menu items! read more

I came on a Saturday afternoon. We were seated immediately and greeted by the kind host. Plenty of tables, booths, and bar seats available. We sat for 15 minutes looking at the menu and no one came by to bring drinks or take our order. After trying to flag down 2 separate waiters, we decided to leave and take our business elsewhere. read more

This was my first time at this restaurant. I was so impressed! The ambience was very pleasing and welcoming. All of staff was all friendly as well. Service was quick and we got our food so quickly! Our plates were huge and the portions were great. I would definitely come back here again, everything was delicious, all of the staff was friendly, and it was all so speedy!! :-) read more

Decided to take a walk around the neighborhood and grab a breakfast of their John Daly scramble which is always a great dish along with their other dish that I like which is The Hangover. So glad that they got the counter seats redone - Thanks Billy and it was good to see some familiar faces of employees that I have known from when they opened years ago. read more

This review is mainly on vibes. We've been going to Boulevard for while. the place is an interesting caricature of mid century modern style paired with classic diner menu.

Boulevard Cafe - Desert Cocktail - Carajillo - New American Near Me - Daly City, California

Take your in-laws here. Boulevard Café has been a popular Daly City icon since it opened in 2005. It's the kind of place that gives a city character and Daly City would feel a little emptier without it. The goal here is a classic diner experience with some unique signature dishes. It's in a great location easily reached from Pacifica, the Sunset, and anywhere in between. Close to everything. Ambiance Feels more like a cafeteria than a café. Cavernous ceilings and hardwood floors make for a noisy space. The entryway has a nice retro touch, and the seating is cool. The whole vibe feels like it was built in the '60s or '70s -- probably the look they're going for. I found it endearing. Service We were seated quickly, drinks taken promptly, and our order followed shortly after. So far, so good. The service itself, however, was quite lacking. I don't need a whole song and dance, but do try to look like you're conscious. If Soviet-era Brutalist architecture could get a job as a waiter, this guy was it. He had all the charm of a Serbian loan shark growing impatient that we hadn't defaulted yet. Anyway, the food... I ordered the lamb burger, which sounded interesting, and my bestie ordered a light breakfast for lunch of toast, sausage, and fruit. She was disappointed that they didn't have margarine or any other dairy substitute for the toast, but oh well. The lamb burger came with feta and red onion with shredded carrot and lettuce on the side. Or maybe that was a salad with no dressing. (There was enough lettuce that it might have been.) I took a bite and it was dry. I asked the waiter for some mayo, which he dropped off and quickly moved on without comment. The mayo wasn't enough to save it. It was just bland. It really needed something more- like maybe lemon or tzatziki sauce. Also the bun was too soft and poor quality. It fell apart before I had finished, so I had to resort to knife and fork. The horror, I know. Bestie's brunch for lunch wasn't much better. The toast was cold and the sausage was room temperature. The fruit, however, was quite fruity. And that's what you really want in fruit. So high score there. The Service Again I hope this guy was just having a bad day. I asked for more iced tea with my glass set conspicuously next to my bestie's empty water glass. He brought another iced tea, but didn't even ask her if she wanted a water refill. That seems so weird. Is it just me? Bathrooms Bestie reported the ladies' room was clean and nicely decorated. Parking I went on a Wednesday and there was just enough parking. In my experience, it's always been packed on the weekend, so I am assuming parking might be tricky. Things to improve. * Add sun shade. My bestie was a dark silhouette as I was seated facing the window. * Keep water glasses full. It's easy. * Add some noise mitigation. Hero Shout Out! Busboy Juan Carlos was hustling, smiling, and just doing a great job. Turning tables fast and being a boss. Give that guy some Giants tickets or something. He deserves 'em! __________________________________________________________________ I'm a burger snob, as some of you know, but I don't expect a fine dining experience in a diner. I'm looking for that uniquely American diner experience. (See my review of Art's Café). I do expect good service and food that is comforting and delicious. Good examples would be Tommy's or Max's. Boulevard Café just didn't deliver like that this time. Any restaurant can have a bad day and miss the mark. I'll be back to try the banana foster French toast at some point. I'll let you know if I have a better experience. I hope I do because this place really does have some personality. read more

I'm very appreciative that they are open on New Year's Day. I've been a customer for many years...and at the Lakeside Cafe on Ocean....and it has been my ritual to eat here on New Year's Day...for a long time...and obvious it's a ritual for many others. The food is always outstanding...I'm partial to the meatloaf, which my companions ate (but I ate a salad with prawns today...trying to be prudent with the calories...yet... we ordered a meatloaf to go) and I drank an outstanding berry drink...the house specialty. ...I had two. Desert descriptions would be repetitive ....everything is outstanding. Thank you to ERIC, our wonderful and personable "server"..is that the current term?...but the two other fellows were great too....I just didn't get their names. We sat at a table in the Bar area...Eric and those two guys were also preparing drinks......Great time. read more

I have always enjoyed the food and service here and today was no exception. Took a friend there for lunch by accident, sort of. I thought I was making a reservation @ Westlake Joe's as we go for their fish & chips because they are FAB and more than plentiful. But I made a reservation here and we went for the F&C's, and they were GREAT and 3 nice size pieces, cooked perfectly, not greasy and HOT. Killer fries and sad no coleslaw but a decent little salad w/decent bleu cheese dressing, $21. Service was great, very attentive, but not intrusive. Because the space is so large it can be rather loud and off putting, but it did quiet down after a bit. Our reservation was for 12:30, uh, lunch time on a Friday. But honestly, I will always return for the food, price, portions and service. The bar is much quieter, by the way. read more

Came here for an early Mother's Day. I love that they have a parking lot so you don't have to worry about parking. Service was standard. Everyone at the table loved the schezwan pork ribs; they were crispy on the outside but tender and easily came off the bone. The alfredo was also one of the best I've had in years. The sauce stuck nicely to the pasta. Wasn't too oily or soupy. The Mediterranean plate was also good. The pesto was okay. It was outshined by the alfredo. I'll have to come back for breakfast. I heard they do breakfast right read more

I tried this breakfast place while passing through Daly City. The ambiance was a retro 60's feel, and the service was decent. I ordered the Blvd scramble and subbed in cheddar for feta cheese. The scramble was average but the hash browns were so burnt it was hard to chew. I like my hash browns crispy, but not burnt to a crisp. It was an average experience. read more

Boulevard Cafe - 2x2x2 french toast, eggs, sausage - New American Near Me - Daly City, California

I have never thought going into this place. I have been seeing this place for decades without having the curiosity to pay this place a visit. I'd definitely say this restaurant is very underrated. My boss decided to take me and co-workers for a Christmas dinner. I had no idea what type of food they serve aside from American food. Looking at the menu, they have a variety of menu and they also have specials such as the t-bone steak. My boss ordered us some salads and appetizers. The chicken quesadillas was delicious. Moving on to the main courses, my co-workers had steaks while I ordered a spaghetti meatballs. Everything was fantastic. The desserts were also delicious. Most had the cheesecakes while I'm the only one who had the very delicious chocolate cake. One co-worker had a crème brûlée. I also ordered a chocolate milkshake and a couple of alcoholic drinks. Everyone enjoyed their dinner. The restaurant does not look big from the outside but they have plenty of tables inside. There is also a bar lounge. Lastly, the staff are pretty nice as well. Overall, it is a good family restaurant. read more

I had to wait a long time for a table even though there were many empty ones. Then, the order taking was extremely slow. To top it off, the table next to me--who arrived after I did--got their bread first. I followed up on my bread twice, yet it still hasn't arrived even though all my main dishes are already served. I strongly feel like I'm being discriminated against. read more

We have been going here from the start, celebrating family and friends. Had no problems for the most part, until Friday around 6:00. Came in asked for seats for 4, was more told not asked if the whole party was here. Seated on the East section. No problems seating and menu,ordered food. Service was lack luster, no one smiling or even talking. Asked for water to be filled, twice by two different bus boys. No water , I stood up to grab a pitcher of water and filled it myself. No one coming bye asking if everything was okay, usually they do this. Noticed that the hostess was just talking not helping staff. Was more interested in talking to her phone. I will be going to the sister restaurants, as for now this one is no longer on my places to go. read more

Came here with some coworkers last week and had a really nice dinner. What we ordered - Orzo Alexandra $20: I've never had this before and this was so good. Love the salmon and the white sauce. Each bite was packed with so much flavor!! The portion was huge and I got to bring it for lunch the next day haha - Schezwan Pork Ribs $16: This was a sweet & spicy Asian glaze ribs. I didn't think it was spicy which was good because I was worried it would be too spicy. Loved the side of salad! - Fried Calamari $19: This was such a great appetizer!!! It was such a bigggg portion too!!! - Fish and Chips $21: There was 3 huge pieces of fried fish and it just melts in your mouth. It's so good with the tartar sauce. I'd definitely get this again. read more

What an awesome restaurant to eat in. Underrated in my opinion. Located on John Daly Boulevard, Boulevard Cafe offers a clean well lit environment with an extensive menu. Prices are reasonable and fairly cheap for such great food. Waiters are super friendly and our drinks were always filled. They offer their signature fried chicken which was crispy and tender. Even the chicken breast was moist and juicy. Country fried steak was great tasting and not too salty like other restaurants. Parking lot can get pretty tight. Definitely coming back when I return to SF read more

My continued support of Boulevard Cafe, corner of John Daly Blvd & Poncetta is unwavering. With an elevated diner menu in a mid century modern setting that covers breakfast, lunch, dinner and a nice happy hour. Their generous portions of any of their PASTAS and SALADS are delicious and hits the spot. Any grilled proteins are spot on. Especially love starting with AVGOLEMENO SOUP or PRAWN AVOCADO SALAD, and any other mains favs like the GRILLED LAMB CHOPS OF NY STEAKS, FRIED CHICKEN, GRILLED SALMON, FRESH PETRALE SOLE, CHICKEN PICATA, and more. If I have room for dessert I'll go with their warm, comfort treat, BREAD PUDDING! Staff are nice, cordial and welcoming. Easy place for a nice meal any time of the week! read more

I have been here about three times. I think their breakfast food is mid. I went for lunch and dinner and the food was much better. Their grilled chicken with mashed potatoes is really good. The tiramisu was okay, but I have tried better ones. The interior is nice and generally feels like a diverse space. The service is good as well, very attentive servers. I think it's a great place to bring friends and family and I would love to try more of their dishes. It does get pretty loud though, at least the times I have been there, so it can be a bit over stimulating. read more

My family and I have come here for years. It's always been a solid place for breakfast and brunch. This time, we came on Thanksgiving. We came early enough where there wasn't a line.

It's big enough to share too. My parents loved the corn beef hash and country fried steak. We have yet to come here for dinner but I always see that it's busy when I drive by.

Boulevard Cafe - Pieces of hard plastic - New American Near Me - Daly City, California

I ate at the restaurant a few days ago. I have eaten there many times but it has been a while. I ordered the salmon orzo plate. There were many chunks of salmon but most were not cooked. Some pieces were pink, most were gray and squishy. I showed the waiter, he took the plate to the kitchen. Then he came back and told me that the cook disagreed with me. Told me that I didn't know what I was talking about and gave me the plate back Excuse me? You just told the customer that I was wrong? What kind of restaurant does that? They could have given me a new plate with the salmon cooked through, or they could have credited me. Instead they gave me the plate back and also charged me for it. They even asked if I wanted it to go box!! I'll never go back. Very disappointing. read more

We've eaten here so many times I lost count years ago. I want to start by saying that not every single thing here is amazing but in my opinion, our go-to things that we order here are consistently delicious. That's the reason I'm leaving the five stars. That and because the service is almost always terrific. Sure, there's been a few hiccups, but when you come here as often as we do, that's to be expected. I mean, come on, everyone has a bad day sometimes. Even cooks and especially servers. Dealing with the public is hard work so be nice to the staff. We've eaten here so many times and have ordered so many different things so I will cut to the chase and tell you the things that we love. Boyfriend and I both love the wings (we order them extra crispy, but that's everywhere not just here), the mac & cheese, sometimes with bacon, but mainly just good old Mac, and the cheeseburger. The cheeseburger here is excellent and I love that they ask you how you want it cooked. I've eaten it here a dozen times, often with bacon, and it always comes cooked perfectly. Their french fries are also awesome. Not too skinny and not too thick. They have that double coating on them that makes them extra crispy and delicious. Boyfriend loves the chicken piccata and the Moose on the breakfast menu. I love the Souvlaki on the lunch menu and the salmon on the dinner menu. The salmon with the lemon butter sauce is amazing here. It's honestly my favorite Salmon that I've ever had at any restaurant. Including fine dining. I've worked in restaurants for well over 20 years. Many of them upscale. This restaurant does not ask you how you want your salmon cooked but honestly, it comes out perfect every time that I've never had to ask them. And no, it's not rare but it's never overdone. It's tender, succulent, and flaky every single time. It honestly doesn't even need the sauce. The sauce is terrific but this salmon can stand alone. That's how good it is and I hope they never change it. We also both appreciate how the vegetables are always fresh. They never taste mushy and there's always a nice variety. The dressings they serve with the salads here are also fantastic. I have to mention that because they genuinely taste homemade. I mean I could be wrong but I don't think I am. They are delicious. Particularly the thousand island and the Caesar. Another thing that's fantastic here are the cocktails. I don't know if they changed bartenders but in recent months the cocktails here seem next level. I mean they were always good, but lately they've been excellent. They have a decent wine list too. A few things I wish they'd improve on or offer are the hollandaise sauce, the Cobb salad (sometimes the chicken is really dry and offer it with Romain instead of soft greens or give people the choice. Such a hearty salad shouldn't go on soft greens), and offering a lamb souvlaki. Also, We have a toddler and I wish some of the hosts would stop trying to seat us in the bar. I understand you're trying to exile the noisy children, but they are little people that need to eat too and some parents don't want to sit in a small bar area. Please stop doing that. Also, if you're going to serve day old bread, it's totally understandable but at least take off the pieces that are super hard. Overall, you guys are doing a fantastic job and we're grateful that you're close to our neighborhood because there isn't a heck of a whole lot here. Thank you for all the wonderful meals and the fantastic service. read more

Love Boulevard Cafe and their family of restaurants. Food is very, very good, although certain dishes can be a bit too salty. Service this visit was amazing; a forgot her name, but our waitress was terrific. The wait time can be a bit long, but nothing too bad. Good location with a small parking lot and additional spaces up the street in the back, a bit dark inside and can use some updating with the decor. There were quite a few flies inside buzzing by during our meal, which as you'd imagine was quite annoying. read more
