I had a wonderful brunch at Eats on Clement Street. The smoked salmon Benedict, mimosa, house coffee, and caramelized toast were all delicious and full of flavor. The atmosphere is warm and homey, with a lively neighborhood feel. It can be a little noisy, but I still enjoyed my coffee and even found inspiration to write a few songs. The service was excellent. The longtime staff member Hugo, was especially kind, attentive, and very polite. We're remembering when Aila was working back in a day as a waitresses Such a lovely time! You can really feel the warmth and care at Eats, especially when the owner Simon is there. A lovely Clement Street favorite that I'm always happy to return to!
Great quick breakfast spot. Good outdoor seating and nice relaxed vibe on clement street. The egg sandwich is so good I love the brioche bun and runny egg. I got the sausage on the sandwich which was not great, just an aidells sausage cut in half but it was crispy. Would probably get bacon next time. The crispy potatoes were amazing. Quick and nice service. To go coffee also a hit.
Eats on Clement is a neighborhood diner with 1970s-style signage and a typeface that feels straight out of Cheers. Weekend lines are long, but tables were turned over faster than expected. It's open daily from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., but closed Tuesdays. The almond pancakes were a standout, with a unique texture, similar to cornmeal and topped with berries. The tostaquiles featured scrambled eggs, avocado, crema, and fried tortillas, with eggs floating on top of a thick pimenton sauce. (Only one of two of us liked that particular dish. To me, the sauce was overpowering.) Parking in the area can be difficult, especially on weekends. Overall, Eats on Clement is a solid sit-down brunch spot. Service started strong and friendly, but our waitress left right at 2 p.m., and we were left to sort out how to settle up at the end of our meal.
This place has SUCH a yummy brunch! 100% recommend the huevos rancheros. If you're getting the strawberry shortcake (which you should!), I'd skip out on the biscuit since it's the same thing. Overall, 100% will be back!
Service was kind. Everyone there was warm and welcoming. However I would not return here. Very crowded, can barely walk without bumping into somebody here. The food was below average and overpriced. A 17 dollar breakfast sandwich that comes with arugula and egg, $4 for tomato. I did enjoy the pancakes. Overall the vibe is chill but not worth it in my opinion.
Hubs and I visited on a Monday at around 10am and were seated promptly. After asking for recommendations, hubs ordered the Maitake Scramble with salad. He must've enjoyed as he didn't offer me any. I love biscuits and had to give theirs a try - arrived warm. Crunchy exterior, fluffy interior - good with the butter but would've loved a side of jam given the price. I also decided to try something different and ordered the Curry Chickpea bowl - quite a decent portion size and quite filling. Curry flavor subtle. The vegetables helped to add a depth of flavor. Service was good in that they checked on us often, kept our coffee mugs full, and didn't rush us.
| January 17, 2026 | We walked down here and we didn't have to wait very long for our table and since it was fairly nice, we ate outside. Our food arrived at 1:05 and within a half hour we were more than full and satisfied with our food. My bf got the Two Egg Breakfast: Two eggs and buttered toast with fried potatoes with a side of bacon. We split the Caramelized Custard French Toast: double slice acme sourdough with roasted pink lady apples and whipped crème fraiche for $ with a side of chicken apple sausage.
After sampling a few entrees in the menu, including but not limited to the VADOUVAN CURRY CHICKPEAS, the LOADED FRIED POTATOES, and the EATS BURGER... I can safely say that the star of the show is the dessert items. None of the entrees were bad per se, just a little underwhelming overall. My burger in particular was over-seasoned with the patty being dry and very salty although it was not bad flavor wise altogether... The curry chickpeas were runny and watery texture which was a little off puffing and wasn't the tastiest combination overall. The Loaded Fried Potatoes I really really really wanted to like but I was left with a heaviness that the house made hot sauce couldn't mask. The only thing worthwhile to me and the star of the show is the Strawberry Shortcake which comes with roasted strawberries and whipped creme fraiche as well as slices of kumquat which provide a really nice contrast to everything. It was sooo good and a perfect dish to share or to have on your own!!!
Everything was delicious! Came here on a Saturday at 9AM and didn't have to wait for a table. We ordered the potatoes, the tostaquiles, and the french toast to share. The potatoes were soft and both the sauces (the yellow was like a hollandaise) were so good/coated them well. The french toast was my favorite because even thought it was a sweet item it wasn't too sweet or filling. I loved the apples on this so much. The tostaquiles was solid and balanced out the sweet. The place is def small so come early to get a seat. Will return!
The name may sound generic but the food is outstanding! Started with the Curry Chickpeas bowl as an alternative morning starter--an utterly beguiling broth of cauliflower, fennel, garbanzos and more! Savory and satisfying. But what's breakfast without pancakes? They call them fluffy here but these are So Much More than that. Tall, tender, subtly sweet with a hint of crispy edges... The Best Pancakes in Town. The chef knows what they're doing. This is my new favorite breakfast in the Bay Area.
I almost didn't try this place because of the reviews but I was glad I did! We were seated quickly and the waitress was very polite and friendly as we were slow in ordering. We ordered the Toastaquilles and Fried Egg Sandwich with an egg sunny side up and chorizo. The Toastaquilles was a good portion and delicious, not too spicy. The sandwich was a little messy but so tasty! The chorizo is a patty, so full of flavor! It small but the service was fast so they get you in and out quickly. It's a nice place, typical of small cafes. I would definitely come back as it looks like there's a different menu for lunch!
Food was so good and exactly what we needed on a Sunday morning. Their almond flour pancake was delicious and so good for being gluten free!
Thursday, May 15, 2025, 11am: Here for the Avocado Toast. It did not disappoint. Everything on point. -bread actually toasted! -generous portion of ripe avocado -radish slices give a bit of crunch & flavor boost. -seeds, good for you, but a bit heavy handed, drowned out the mild avocado taste. -bacon both crisp & chewy -poached egg made to order -and a serrated steak knife so you can cut the bread! No wait, no laptop encampment, super friendly service. I'll be back. Support Local! -

I had brunch at EATS and their egg sandwich was hands down the best I've ever had--perfectly cooked and packed with flavor. The food was amazing, and the staff were so friendly and welcoming. Great experience all around! read more

I went to Eats a couple times over the pandemic and always loved their menu. So fast forward a year, and it's so great that their full menu came back! This place is in a great spot in Inner Richmond. I had to try the spicy tomato skillet when I saw it on the window on a white piece of paper taped to the window. It was a great little skillet of tomatoes, peppers, and onions with a fried egg on top, sourdough bread, and THE BEST crispy potatoes. The only thing I wish was that there was a little more bread. That being said, it's a spicy, tomato party in your mouth. Pair that with a delicious egg and some perfectly seasoned, crispy home fries, and the bread and it's the perfect meal. Note: regardless of if you eat there vs. to go, you need to order at the window outside, then they'll give you a number and you can find a table to eat at. read more
Not a super extensive menu but just enough to provide enough variety, and allow the indecisive people make up their minds easily. Chicken & waffle- Not your typical deep fried chicken with thick crusted batter. This fried chicken is coated with a thin layer of batter that is well seasoned. The chicken itself is not as juicy as I would like. I am not exactly sure what is in the yellow dipping sauce, it tasted a bit tart and I personally did not like my fried chicken paired with this sauce. Waffle is pretty crispy and delicious, perfectly cooked. Spicy tomato skillet- Not too spicy. Actually very saucey under the two eggs. Don't be fooled. This dish comes with 2 pieces of bread, and a side of potatoes, so it is very filling. I found that dipping the toast into the spicy tomato sauce is so delicious. The sauce is so rich and flavorful. I normally don't eat lots of bread but I finished all the bread and still wanted more. Highly recommend this! French fries- Typical french fries, fresh and crispy. Good portion, enough for 3 people. Iced coffee- Seeing so many photos of ice coffee, I decided to try this. The coffee came literally as 'coffee with ice' or Americano. You can ask for milk or half&half and add to the coffee yourself. Pretty bold coffee flavor, not too acidic. Pretty standard, but looks very photogenic. On Sunday mornings, there is a farmers market right outside the restaurant, so be prepared to park further out and walk here. Having said that, it's also a great idea to stroll through the farmers market either before or after brunch on a Sunday. Don't be afraid of the seemingly small interior, the line moves quickly and there wasn't too long a wait. There are actually plenty of outdoor seatings as well. Very good portion of food, delicious brunch items, great brunch spot to catch up with friends! read more

Feeling a little peckish after the Sunday morning market? Solid spot right on Clement. Nothing fancy, just some solid breakfast! read more
I put my on the waitlist for 4 people at around ~12:15 and we were seated at around ~1:30pm. I ordered the Huevos Rancheros ($15.25). I feel like it was a bit expensive for what it was and I could probably eat more, but still tasty. My friend got the Mexican Scramble ($15.25), which she said was cold when she got it. Other than that, she was it was good and was super filling. Another friend got the Spicy Tomato Skillet ($12.50), which she said had really good flavors, but was not spicy at all. Our other friend got the Farmers Omelette ($13.75), which she said was good, but pretty basic. Overall, I'm not sure I'd wait that long again for brunch right away (though the yelp waitlist made it a whole lot easier), but I'm glad we tried it. read more

Hopped here on a Sunday for a weekend brunch experience on the fly. The line was rather long, especially since the weekly farmers market was also happening on the same street. Eats SF also has everyone wait in line to order, and then you later find a seat in their outdoor or indoor seating. Despite the line just taking orders, the line was rather packed the time I went, and took around 20-30 minutes. However, the seats cleared out rather quickly and we had no problem snagging a table. Eats SF had a pretty standardized brunch experience featuring your typical American brunch meals. We ordered the banana chocolate pancakes and a spinach mushroom Benedict. The prices are much affordable in comparison to other SF brunch locations such as Sweet Maple, but I did feel like the taste was lacking in comparison. Still a good destination if you want to check it out! However, would recommend showing up a bit earlier than the 11am crowd to avoid the order line. They also have a pick up line where you order ahead of time that was much quicker. read more

My local breakfast eatery I've been going to for 30+ years. Still only go there for breakfast though. Wish they had hash browns over grilled potatoes for their breakfast potatoes but that is my only criticism. Outdoor seating has heat lamps and there usually is a line Sunday mornings when the Farmer's market is going on. Great selection for kids as well at this hot spot for brunch. I went for the BAT scramble and my companion had the breakfast sandwich. If you show up before opening they have a little tablet for you put yourself on the Yelp waitlist which is important for getting in on the first seating read more

Wow. I can't believe I've been sleeping on this spot for so long. Eats is an amazing brunch spot that: 1) Lets you join a waitlist online via Yelp 2) Serves amazing food (check out the Spicy Tomato Skillet) 3) Doesn't break the bank I normally bring guests to SF to Zazie and I probably still will but if my guests want options or I need to find somewhere that I can reliably brunch at without fear of long lines, I'm turning to Eats. read more
Came here for a late brunch on a Monday with a friend and it was packed. You order at the window and can sit wherever you like. We got the spicy tomato skillet and the avocado lox benedict on brioche and were so impressed with both! The skillet was nice and spicy with plenty of vegetables and cheese. And the garlic potatoes on the side were so crispy and melt in your mouth. The avocado lox benedict was the real star though. I never thought to have a benedict on brioche but it wasn't too butter or overpowering at all. The flavor was amazing and the fluffiness of the brioche really added to the deliciousness. I had tried this place once before and wasn't impressed but I'm so glad I came again because I'd definitely recommend it now. Also the service was wonderful and everyone who helped us was so nice and sweet. read more

Food: pancakes was D R Y and G R A I N Y, burgers were pretty good. Sandwiches are good. Service: not good. There was one person that was professional, but one person accidentally poured water into the pancakes. They also did not offer any refills for coffee. Ambiance: nice an bright, it also has outdoor seating. If only the service was as good. read more

Eats has a good menu with pancakes and huevos rancheros. I decided on the veggie breakfast sandwich that had egg and avocado. It was toasted and buttery. Very good sandwich and hearty. Fun place on Clement. Reminds me of Tastebuds on Balboa. read more

DURING COVID* was visiting family in SF and needed some yummy breakfast one morning. It was close to my hotel so I went on this app and saw that I could just I order where for pick up. Food was so good we ended up coming twice! Pick up was seamless and food was ready quick! Veggie breakfast sandwich- 5/5 This was delicious! Super filling, flavorful, and just all around perfect. Mom and da loved it so much too! Mexican Scramble- 5/5 wow wow wow let me tell you, couldn't decide between this or the huevos rancheros but this was EPIC! So many flavors and textures, I ate the entire thing. Blueberry pancakes- 5/5 huge portion and delish blueberry filled all around. Can't wait to come back and sit outside. There was outdoor seating available and such a cute little place. read more

The wait is worth it. The yelp app helps a ton. There are a lot of outside tables so be prepared to sit outside if you don't want to wait longer. The Mexican scramble with shredded pork was a mixture of 10+ tastes and textures that added up to a great dish. The fried tortillas stayed crispy while eating this large serving. I shared some of it with my wife. It is clearly enough to share, esp if you get the side of meat. My son lives close to Clement and frequents the restaurant and the bacon waffles. We agreed this dish met the definition of "bland" as instructed by his doctors. Maybe it was bland compared to the scramble, but it was a great balance of tastes and textures - again. read more
As usual, for weekend brunch in SF, it was about an hour wait when I entered the waitlist online at 10:15 am for 3 people. I, of course, timed it perfectly and got seated within 5 minutes of arrival, so it was not too shabby. There is honestly not too strong of an appeal to this place besides the fact that it is well located between Golden Gate Park and Presidio, perfect for tourists. Maybe the appeal of this place is the minimalistically decorated Eats mug: red mug with white logo. That certainly gives a signature to the food presented. The avocado fancy toast in itself is pretty solid: generous amounts of avocado and sunflower sprouts topped on sourdough, with flavorful scrambled egg on top. The leading flavor of the scrambled egg is of course egg, but the green onion aroma comes in a close second. The bread is soft on the inside, but a little bit on the harder side on the outside. The Mexican scramble with pulled pork is decent. It was our fault that we ate this dish last, 25 minutes after they served us the dish. The tortilla chips that didn't touch the sauce is still slightly crunchy, while those that are filled with salsa is still a little crunchy. They did a great job making sure the food is still delicious after leaving it out for a long time. The avocados for the most part are fresh, but one of the pieces was oxidized, so it was less than ideal. The scrambled egg within is also pretty flavorful, with a slight green onion aroma. The pulled pork is merely for the extra protein and not really super tender to make it memorable. The black beans and cheese are pretty standard and just add to the Mexican-inspired brunch dish. The waffle berries and cream is of moderate size, with fruits that are quite fresh and whipped cream that is slightly creamy. The waffles are a little bit on the softer side, but it is still passable when you include the maple syrup that comes in a glass container. Overall, this brunch place is not really worth the wait, as the wait is primarily due to the size of the restaurant and not the extraordinary food quality. read more

Went on the opening weekend and got the apricot custard french toast as well as the pulled pork sandwich. Both super delicious, french toast amazing and pulled pork had great flavor. Staff was friendly and loved ambiance of the place, will definitely be back! read more
Pretty darn good stuff... I can get used to eating breakfast especially like this. Again, having an appointment in the neighborhood on a weekday morning, we changed it up by trying another new (for us) breakfast place. We found metered parking a half block away. After a short wait, we were seated at a two top near the kitchen. The restaurant was full but not overly bustling likely because it was a weekday. After we were given menus, it took a few glances at the Yelp listing and peeks at the menu before I decided on my breakfast. Contrary to my usual pattern, I did NOT order corned beef hash (was it on the menu?, there was a pork hash) and instead ordered the chicken and waffles (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=wXPh9hPtS6KL7GGf6lqbXQ&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q). The description is what sold me: Panko crusted all natural chicken, mushroom gravy (yes, sold!), honey butter, powder sugar. The chicken was crispy and boneless, yet not dry... even if it was, the mushroom gravy, sigh. The waffles had a nice texture, not overly crisp and the syrup was not too sweet striking a great balance between savory and sweet. Service was good and not overbearing. Drink glasses were refilled and empty plates and dirty utensils removed promptly. In a word, efficient. Don't expect long explanations or chit chat conversations with your waiter or waitress as they are briskly meeting the needs of all diners. And this was on a weekday... Yes, I will be back and my big decision will be to have that chicken and waffles again or try one of their interesting egg menu options... Or grow another stomach and do BOTH! read more

Last time I dined here it was called Cheers. Apparently this spot likes monosyllabic names: Now it's "Eats." And even on a Saturday which doesn't normally seem to be a big brunch day, there was a moderately sized crowd waiting for tables. We only waited 15 minutes for our table of two (waits were much longer for tables of 4 since most are deuces- bigger groups were waiting over 40 minutes since the restaurant is small). The menu was extensive for such a modest spot and had a bit of everything, from a delicious variety of interesting sandwiches and salads to omelettes, breakfast burritos, steel cut oatmeal, fresh fruit and "fancy toast." Feeling brunchy, we both ordered the Breakfast Suite (2 eggs, bacon or chicken sausage, mini waffle (or a "waffle berry" with fruit, whipped cream and honey syrup for an extra $2.75, definitely the way to go!) Unfortunately, our server made a computer mistake, input only one order and my breakfast was delayed by 10 minutes. He was very apologetic and brought a beautiful cup of fruit and took 20% off our bill which made up for the error. The breakfast was excellent, the coffee and fresh juices were terrific and it was nice dining al fresco (though a bit nippy). I'd go back to Eats in a hot minute to sample more of their menu. Maybe we'll go next when school's out to avoid the weekend crowds. read more

Why aren't they open until 3pm? Makes sense at least on the weekends!
Eats is open from 0800 until 2pm. That was as of a week ago. Food was definitely worth getting up early for.
How is the parking around the area?
You may need to circle the block a couple times
