So damn delicious! I stumbled upon Eats and am so happy I did! I went here this morning for a quick breakfast and it was honestly one of the best breakfasts I have ever had! I am so happy I know of this place now and will for sure be recommending it to all my friends who come down to San Francisco! I ordered a really basic breakfast, but was blown away by the flavors of the food! I got the two egg breakfast with the pork sausage and eggs over easy with the potatoes. I also got it without the toast due to gluten allergies! The potatoes were for sure the highlight of the breakfast! They were paired with roasted garlic and the seasonings were incredible and perfection! I don't know what they do to them, but they are the most amazing breakfast potatoes I've ever eaten! The eggs were cooked perfectly and seasoned really well also. The sausage was also very flavorful and the texture was good (coming from someone who isn't a pork fan). Overall, the staff was also super friendly and really helpful! Please note there was a big line for tables, but I was seated immediately because I was by myself and wanted to sit outside even though the weather was not super favorable. Otherwise there can be long waits and the restaurant is not very big, so any group over four people is definitely gonna take a while! 10/10 read more

Back and back again, we love this place and will come any time we are in Richmond. I love how they have the Yelp waitlist now instead of jotting your name on the chalkboard on the pillar right outside the door. There is outside seating but the weather isn't nice enough yet. They serve Equator coffee so we usually go with that. The potatoes are to die for! Crispy, well-seasoned goodness! Recently tried their strawberry lemonade and it was so yum! read more

I ventured to Eats as my car was being serviced nearby. I am rarely in this area. I walked (as the front door was unlocked) into Eats and was told "we open in 10 minutes". I vote with my money. I did not feel welcome and went elsewhere. The staff needs to badly be trained about locking front door and message it sends potential customers when they come in. #restaurantdownthesreetgotmymoney read more

For nearly 44 years now EATS has been comforting folks from all walks with honest + satisfying refreshment thats-tasty! tasty! E to the A to the T to the E.A.T.S. (so, so:) Tasty, period. This afternoon we enjoyed a delightful Eats lunch, cafe~style outside with fresh brewed iced tea (most days more advisable is a hot pot, good here too:) english breakfast or earl grey? The awesome french fries were piping hot and amazing! think McDonalds thin + classy cousin laid out on a plate next to something worthy. Yum. The generous pork hash was an inspired new nod to an old timey favorite executed tenderly + the tri-tip sandwich made right simple and well, to please. The host was helpful, the waitstaff attentive + the food... tasty, tasty and good. Good to eat at Eats today, thanks team Eats for so many years of beyond satisfying meals. Notes: dog as dining companion potential exists (on days conducive to outdoor dining) Eats closes relatively early & it is not uncommon for wait-lines to form at peak hours. read more

Tried this out last week after some curiosity... I had the Salmon Benedict and BF had the Cowboy Burrito tho we both felt we messed up by not getting the Chicken & Waffles. Overall the benedict was good aside from the eggs being overcooked, the yolk did not pour out at all. BF did not enjoy the "burrito" too much that probably couldve came as a scramble and without a tortilla. It had a lot of onions and beans inside.. you can't even properly hold it like a burrito lol. I dont usually favor potatoes but their potatoes are deliciously seasoned, cooked, and had large pieces of roasted garlic that melted in your mouth after squeezing it out of its skin. Overall, I think the price is a tad bit high to be a normal neighborhood brunch spot but with how we recieved our food, its also not something I'd save for special occassions. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ truly 3.5 stars rounded up to 4 for me. read more

I love this place!!! Definitely my favorite breakfast place ever. Their bacon waffles & eggs are so good! when I first got it I thought it wouldn't make me full but it's definitely very filing. their Arnold Palmers are also the best i've ever had. definitely get there early if you don't wanna wait. I'm here right now (10am) & it's a 45 minute wait. you have to wait outside because the restaurant itself is tiny inside but they have these small heat lights that help. it's definitely worth the wait for me ps. I have a instagram dedicated to food for all you food lovers lol @fatkatmunchies read more

Had Eats for one of my firsts times eating breakfast in SF. First off, being able to reserve a table online through the yelp app is extremely convenient! I would definitely recommend if you are interested in coming and don't want to wait in line. When I first walked in the friendly staff greeted and seated us fairly quickly. I ordered the Breakfast Suite, and needless to say, it was amazing! The sausages were juicy and flavorful, the egg was just a perfect sunny side up and the waffle was soft but a bit crispy. Overall, I think it's the ambiance of the restaurant that really does it for me, the decor compliments the the overall feel of the restaurant, would definitely come again! read more

I was excited to try eats after the renovation, but it did not live up to my anticipation. The food was bland, the menu got worse, and it's too expensive and it's lost its neighborhood feel. I miss the old eats. read more

SERVICE: I want to emphasize the service I received here. It. was. amazing. The waiter was very friendly and I was very impressed with his personality. He came to our table, and put his hand on my shoulder and asked me how I was doing today. I know that not everyone likes to be touched so this could be noted as a red flag in some cases but I personally thought it was a very warm approach and it made me feel welcomed. He would throw in jokes when he checked in on his tables and was quick on the coffee refills. I did not catch him name but he was an Asian gentleman with tattoos on on his arms and legs. 5 stars for service. FOOD: The food was very tasty. I ordered the chicken and waffles (~$13). The chicken was prepared sort of "country fried" style. Very tender white meat and came with a side of mushroom gravy and lemon wedge. The waffles were a little burnt on the edges but it was insignificant to the overall experience. ATMOSPHERE: Ambiance was trendy. Tables and parts of the walls were covered in dark wood and the restaurant was well lit with natural lightning, giving the interior that modern, hipster vibe. OVERALL: 4 stars based off my first impressions. I will definitely come here again to see if my initial thoughts are met with consistency! read more

Eats - Tuna melt and chicken and waffles! I can't wait to dive in! - American Near Me - San Francisco, California

I told myself that I am NOT going to wait in line for another crazy SF brunch...not doing it! But then, Shirley Y. told me about this place and she said that it's really good. You don't have to tell me twice about good food... So we stood, in the rain...watching people go by, staring at people's food very awkwardly through the window like creepazoids. I mean that guy's polenta looked on point! They are very strict about all people in the party being there on time. Honestly, if my party was not all there and my name was next, it sure would turn into a party of one real quick. But that's just me. We get seated and the service is SO NICE! I don't know why I get surprised by good service. Maybe because it's starting to get few and far in between. When we get seated, I had to choose between a glass of mimosa or a carafe of mimosa. I'd say that I went with the carafe MOSTLY because it was a more economic deal. But yes, I ordered my carafe for one and the waiter did not judge me. In fact, he encouraged it. I appreciate that! My friend ordered a bloody mary. We also asked for an extra glass so that I didn't look like I need to enroll in AA. We then ordered our food. I got the pork hash and my friend got the polenta (see, it helps to stare at people's food in the window). SOOOOO GOOOD! Basically, the only way you can be my friend is if you share your plates with me so that I can try everything on the menu. Shirley Y. made the cut for that reason (and she's awesome). I'm still thinking about that pork hash. But let me tell you my favorite part. Did these beezies put green chilies in the pork hash? I mean, you have to be pretty bold to do that and be an American restaurant! It was the perfect addition. So beware if you do not like spicy food, but if you do, you will be pleasantly surprised. Next, I want to try the pancakes. But really, I want to go back and order the pork hash and I want someone else to order the pancakes so that we can share. read more

A firm solid. If you're in the richmond, & you need breakfast, then you're going to end up here. The neighborhood breakfast joint on the corner. The space itself is light & airy...it's just small. So it gets cramped. And it can get crazy busy. And you can forget about parking. But once you get your coffee & eggs, all is pretty much forgiven. If you make the mistake of coming on a weekend, it better be early. No reservations, so you'll have to wait for a table. It's not a crazy wait like at Mama's, though. If you have the option, I'd recommend going on a weekday. It makes all the difference between a leisurely breakfast, & a hurried one. I've done the french toast, & I've done scrambles & omelettes. This is a good spot for a hearty, comfort breakfast. All good, but nothing extraordinary. They can't all be Mama's. 3 stars. read more

Eats is on my Top 5 list of bruncheries. The vibe is relaxed and friendly, the food delicious! There is typically a wait if you come during the later brunch hours on the weekend. Put your name on the board outside and make sure your full party is present to be seated. My server - I had him both times I've dined there - was super friendly and quick! I didn't have to ask and he was there refilling my coffee and asking if everything was all right. He even read the mind of a pup sitting outside waiting for his companion (who was inside) and brought the furry guy a container of water. The Mexican Scramble (a.k.a. breakfast nachos) and the waffle were delicious! Menu includes a wide array of comfort food - i.e. pancakes, waffles, fruit and yogurt, scrambles & benedicts, salads. I'm getting hungry writing this review! read more

3.5 stars upgraded to 4 stars. High school BFF introduced me to Eats recently. At 11am on Friday, the wait time was 15-20 minutes. We signed in on the chalkboard posted on the red pillar & waited outside. After going back & forth among all the delicious sounding items, I finally settled on their chicken & waffles (~$12.) Big surprise, I know, so unoriginal of me, but I was so pleased with my pick. A seemingly healthier version of any C&W I've ever had--panko crusted chicken filets & a crisp waffle with obvious vanilla notes--zero grease! Loved the mushroom gravy & real maple syrup...these condiments just tied the whole dish together, as weird as the flavor combo sounds. Our waiter, a blonde-haired-blue-eyed-all-American hottie is reason enough to return...but if he's not working that day, I'd still stay for the food! read more

Eats - Chicken & waffles w/ gravy on the side - American Near Me - San Francisco, California

Ate here a few times and finally decided to write a review. The atmosphere is pretty lively here with families, friends, and couples. Oh, and the occasional dogs that wait outside. Every time I go there's always a wait list (no surprise there since we always go on a Sunday), but the wait is never long. Everyone that I've brought to the place has always loved it, and I've always enjoyed everything I ordered. My highlight of Eats would be their Berries and Cream Waffles. I order a half order every time (gotta save room to try new things to ya know) and I've never had a better waffle dish than theirs, so you better believe that I'll be stopping by again! read more

Cmae here on a sunday at 11 22 am for brunch and the wait was about 1 hr and half. It was a busy packed day and by the time we left, people were still waiting to get a table. We were done in an hour. We ordered One happy pancake This order came wirh 2 pieces of normal soze pancake with poppyseed inside and lemon zest. When the ordered came i thought for 11 bucks it look skimpy with strawberry and only 2 pancakes. I thought they should give 3 pieces instead of 2 and more strawberries as well for 11 bucks. The pamcakes weee very refreshing anf zesty to my taste buds. You cant really taste the poppyseed inside but u can smell and taste it. Half order of happy pancake This is same as the above review but it was only one pancake. One order of tri tip sandwich with green salad. The bread was ciabatta and it was hard on the outside and inside was soft and the bread was thick as well. The big chunk of trip tip was a turn off because on the first bite the whole tri tip comes out. The carmelized onions were so dark and it was very sweet too and made the bread inside soggy. The salad that came with it was very good i liked the dressing to it and tasted refreshing. One order spicy sausage polenta. This had a great taste but the presentation is horrible and sloppy. The eggs were over easy so when u cut into it the yolk spills out. The sausage was mild spicy and had a great flavor and texture as well. The sauce on this place was over flowing and had a tomatoe taste to it. It also had polenta on the bottom of the plate and was not dry because of the over flow sauce on top of it. I love the extra corn inside and was good. One farmers scramble. This looks like a normal breafast plate and came with a mixed salad. It was so so. Oveeall food was so so meaning ok not good or great or excellent. So overall is 3 out of 5. The long wait is not worth it. There are not alot of tables in there for large parties so not recommended. Plenty of 2 to 4 people sitting. The presentation of the food was sloppy and plain and didnt stand out. I had to rearrange some to make it look more appealing. Also inside was very hot for a 70 degree weather. I think they need some sc in there because we were all sweating and rhe windows canr cover the sun that is also beaming in with those see thru shades. Ir they need some more vents to get rid of the smoke from the cooking. The sevice was slow and didnt refill our drinks or ice til we reminded them. also they dont have bottomless minosas its 22 for a bottle and fresh squeezed is included. I did get a bottle of beer and it was laguinita which was strong for beer. It was 9.9 oz so that was a strong beer for sure. And it was beer of the day in a bottle for 5.50. I dont think i wjll come back because nothing attracts me and just waiting for over an hr is too long. read more

What an awesome way to end my first official running event! I finished the Kaiser 5K in Golden Gate Park and came here with friends (M, T, and C) for post-race grub! Quaint and clean dining area, and efficient and friendly service. You order by # here, and I had the #11 (egg scramble with ham, mushrooms, which came with country potatoes and toast.) Country potatoes were perfectly seasoned, and toast was my fav, sourdough (appeared to be a sliced mini baguette with an end pieces --yay!). Scramble was great and tasty, with perfect amounts of ham and mushrooms. It was relatively healthy since I requested egg whites! Coffee was strong, and refills kept on coming. I inhaled my meal, and maybe left a few potatoes on the plate! I had to carb up after running, right?! In the middle of our brunch, our friends told us that they just got engaged. M and I shrieked and squealed with glee, which startled the other patrons (sorry about that). I couldn't be happier for C and T!! I was one of the first to know, and what an honor! Anyway, this is a great spot for brunch and where locals like to hang. Wish I would've discovered this place sooner when I lived in the 'hood'! read more

Eats always has a line or a crowd of people waiting during brunch time. They have tables outside for outdoor seating. There's a whiteboard near the front door with a marker to write down your name and how many in your party. == Food == Asparagus and Ham Benedict. The muffin is a nice thick one that's soft. The poached egg is done pretty well. The dish isn't drenched in hollandaise sauce so that's very good. The ham they have is very tasty and nicely grilled. There's nothing special about the asparagus. It comes with potatoes or a salad. The side of bacon tastes good. There isn't bad bacon. Cappuccino tasted alright. There's a nice layer of frost on top. == Service == Like the other yelp reviews say... The service here sucks really badly. It may be because I had the outdoor table. It's hard to get a waiter/waitress' attention outside. My benedict came but, my cappuccino and side of bacon never came. I finished my benedict before the waitress showed up again. Should've just canceled the missing items, but I still wanted them. Also when paying, I got the check from my waitress and gave her my credit card. Then another waitress comes out to give me the check again for some reason. Then a waiter comes out with my charge slip a few seconds later. Talk about disorganized. == Overall == The food is pricey, but decent. It's not worth the money since the service is very lousy. I would suggest getting on seat on the inside. Things may be better inside. Bad service ruins a meal. read more

Eats - Asparagus Ham Benedict - American Near Me - San Francisco, California

When I sat down to order here yesterday morning, it seemed to me that the place should not be calling itself EATS; it should be calling itself EGGS. Here's what the subject headings on the breakfast side of the menu consisted of: * Two-egg breakfasts * Three-egg scrambles * Three-egg omelets * A la carte I'm not a huge egg person, but I'm definitely more eggy than pancakey. So when my friend who had been to Eats before asked if I wanted to share a scramble and the ricotta pancakes (an "a la carte" item), I agreed, but figured I'd only have at most a couple bites of the latter. Then our food came. Then I had that first "couple" of bites. And that's when the moment of clarity arrived. The place should not be called Eats. It should not be called Eggs. Without a doubt, it should be known as simply, "Ricotta Pancakes." Like I said, I don't even like pancakes. But these aren't really pancakes. Like, you don't even need butter or syrup. They're more like a perfect little piece of heaven in my mouth. Like a soft, moist, delicious ORGASM in my mouth. I think this is the 2nd place in SF I've reviewed based only on one experience. Maybe I'll discover more hidden treasures among the scanty menu on subsequent visits... But until then, the ONLY thing that'll keep me coming every morning, is Ricotta Pancakes ;) read more

I hate to do it but I have to knock a star off for Eats. While it's a cute and cozy brunch spot, their service leaves much to be desired. It took a little over 10 minutes for someone to come take our drink and food order. Later, I asked for some jam, because ya know...you need that for toast, and I never got it. I saw a sign that they are looking for a server so hopefully they get someone soon. I really do like this place, I just wish their service was better! read more

Good ol' Richmond Eats. There's nothing like a good American breakfast to start your day up right. Well, if your anything like me, chow is continuous, and you love the simple joys of sleeping in and having breakfast well past the afternoon. That's where Eats come in. A small brunchary located in my neighborhood, the Richmond. Quite one of the only traditional breakfast joints within the area too, unless your diggin' for some Denny's or Mel's Drive-In (noty).. B.A.T. Scrambled Eggs - http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/21wF1dQFS2bEL56DuqxRsw?select=jFblpkCkO7hpEdlRhqyzHg#lBRXByzfmXMEtjUuymRizQ BACON!+Avocado+Tomato (the BLT of breakfast scrambles). The bacon was thick cut and crispy, they were very generous with the amount of avocado, and the scrambled eggs topped with the freshly chopped tomatoes made for a satisfying meal that didn't feel overly heavy. Jr. Pancakes - http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/21wF1dQFS2bEL56DuqxRsw?select=jFblpkCkO7hpEdlRhqyzHg#Ea_rIhbZ0qr2gnKYpB4B9Q With the use of freshly cut strawberries, blueberries, and bananas, it was cute how they plated it to look like bears (see picture). I think my little sister really enjoyed that. Hey, if my sister is happy, that makes me happy! Hummus and Eggs - http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/21wF1dQFS2bEL56DuqxRsw?select=jFblpkCkO7hpEdlRhqyzHg#o_1UpXWxvb3GCUDh2tTleg Surprisingly good. Don't get me wrong, I haven't converted into no vegetarian or anything (don't be absurd), but the hummus had a great spicy kick that jumped out of nowhere, which was also pretty filling. Chicken and Waffles - http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/21wF1dQFS2bEL56DuqxRsw?select=jFblpkCkO7hpEdlRhqyzHg#rUINd1M_LLjKdNr5LICqHg The waffles were cooked perfectly, warm, and soft on the inside, crispy on the outside, but the chicken was sadly over cooked.. the gray-brownish mushroom sauce didn't look too appetizing either.. However, the Eats crew happily replaced the meal for us, no frills. Eats is a nice cozy place to grab some homey morning food and with some minor tinkering, they can have breakfast down like Mama's. The service was nice and friendly, especially when we wanted to send the chicken back, and it was simply great just to have a place that I could take my little sister for breakfast (she never had pancakes before). Just be advised that coming early is recommended because a line WILL form during peak hours, and a +3.5% HealthySF fee is applied on all visits. read more

We've been wanting to try this place for a while since the remodel. We arrived around noon. It was busy with a little wait but not too bad. The space is sunny and everyone was friendly - lots of smiles all around. The restaurant is bustling but not too noisy and we could easily carry a conversation. My daughter and I both got the fried egg sandwich and the wait person told us to be careful or the hot egg yolk will pour out all over. (Thank you for the warning!) I ended up eating this with a knife and fork and it might be the best sandwich I've had in a long time. The egg was cooked perfectly and the aioli with arugula gave it just the right richness and tang. Yum! Husband had the Tosta-Quiles which included a gorgeous portion of avocado. He thoroughly enjoyed the whole plate. Son had a basic (kids) burger which was also good. The stand out for the day was the home friend potatoes. These are so crispy on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside with a delicious seasoning- exactly what potatoes should be. Everything was beautifully prepared and looked and tasted amazing. I would happily go back every weekend. I wish I lived closer! read more

Eats on Clement Street is an adorable little breakfast shop that has sat on a corner near the Inner Richmond Chinatown since 1975. The is a homey place with a welcoming atmosphere and outdoor seating. The food is delicious, the service is excellent, and the atmosphere is great. PRO-TIP: The menu item called the "Breakfast Suite" is the best deal in town. You get a crispy large waffle, 2 eggs cooked to order, and bacon or chicken sausage - all for $11. One of the features of Eats that I love is that they have an online waitlist available from their website. You can checkin, and see where you are in line, all while you are still in bed at home. Its so nice not to stand in the herd outside a brunch place on Sunday mornings. read more

If you want to stand outside and wait for terrible service you should come here! The dry erase board where you write your parties name and inside outside preference is a mess. The women who is supposed to manage it doesn't and once anyone complains that they might have been bumped down the line by accident is seated. We waited for almost an hour to sit down and they let a couple that was after us sit down first. When I brought it to the staffs attention they said "thanks for bringing it to our attention" no apology. Once we sat down (the worst table in whole restaurant right by the door) our server proceeded to tell us they were out of grapefruit juice, chicken, tortillas and more. It would have been nice had someone communicated that before we waited an hour for brunch. We begrudgingly ordered a caraf of the orange juice mimosas which were not blended and poured 1 glass of all orange juice and 1 glass of champagne. Our food just came and I can't wait to quickly eat my eggs and never come back here. Wouldn't have even given it a star had yelp not forced me. read more

Eats was delicious! My friends and I came on a Wednesday around 12pm and we still had to wait for a few minutes to get seated. It's not a huge place, so I can imagine the long lines over the weekend. Two of us ordered Chicken and Waffles and it was so satisfying. We both loved it! I usually don't like white gravy but their gravy was delicious! It had mushroom in it and paired perfectly with the chicken. I was worried that the chicken might be dry but it was very well cooked! The skin was crispy and the meat was very tender. It was my first time trying chicken and waffle and I love the sweet-and-savory pair. Another friend ordered the spicy tomato skillet and it turned out to be amazing as well. We were hesitant to get it after reading the mixed Yelp reviews but were so glad that we did. It was hearty, and had the perfect level of spiciness. The soup had lots of veggies and the fried egg on top was on point. It would be perfect for a rainy day in SF. The portions aren't huge but I think it's reasonably priced. The restaurant is also super close to a ton of good bakeries and desserts places. I would definitely come back for more. read more

I was a frequent customer of the original Eats. I am disappointed to say that the new Eats has different ownership and the menu does not live up to the previous restaurant. I am writing this review for any former Eats customers so you do not make the same mistake that I did. read more

Growing up in SF, Eats has been around for as long as I can remember! It truly is a cozy, comfy, and dependable breakfast and lunch place! Unlike Lucky Penny, everything at Eats has a "homemade" flavor to it, which accounts for their limited but tasty menu. The atmosphere here is relaxing and the crowd is pretty friendly with lots of regulars who frequent the place. The sandwiches are always fresh and they deliver solid egg dishes with crispy and flavorful home fries. Here you can find pancakes that taste like they were made from scratch and tuna melts the way Mom used to make. Eats seems to stick with what they do best and does not try to overextend their menu. The service is pleasant and we have never felt "rushed" here. Quite simply put, Eats is a chill place to get a good honest meal at affordable prices! read more

Was really excited to come and have breakfast here with my daughters, but unfortunately it didn't work out that way. We walked in and the wait person asked how many ppl, we told him 4 ppl. And then he told us to go back outside and wait. We waited 2-3 mins. And went back inside because it was pretty cold outside. We were the only ones there waiting for a table. That same wait person totally forgot we were waiting and told us to wait outside again. Practically got kicked out by this guy. Very rude. Just guessing the Food must be really good but the service is pretty bad. So, 1 star rating for this restaurant. Due to lousy service. read more

Straight delicious. Before Covid if I was going I would go before 10 to avoid a fat wait. If it was after 10 I am not going. No conversation. It can be kinda pricey but worth it. Get the scramble and the waffle. Sit outside. That's a pro tip. I would rate it a 4 if the outside seating was not there. read more

On a rainy Sunday recently, we decided to visit this place after my wife saw the reviews and had a craving for "chicken and waffles". When we arrived, we were told there was a wait and needed to sign in (on the dry erase board that my daughter HAD to sign because she loves to write her name). Huge, HUGE props to the female server who was kind enough to offer us a corner seating area (possibly because she saw us with the kids and didn't want us to stand out in the rain). It was a small table near the window with two chairs and a bench, but it worked for us. After checking the menu, we decided on the following: For the boys: Bacon, Avocado and Tomato Scramble with Sourdough Toast and a side salad. Definitely was a great choice. The photo I posted really says it all. My son and I both enjoyed it. For the girls: Chicken and Waffles. The waffles were nice and thick. The chicken actually was a flattened chicken breast (2 pieces) with breaded coating and was served with a mushroom gravy (which you can ask to have on the side). My wife was looking more for an actual bone-in chicken breast, but she said it tasted good regardless. The waffles were also great according to my daughter. For the kids to drink: Hot Chocolate - they couldn't believe how big the cup was (looked like a small soup bowl)! They used spoons to drink it! LOL! For me to indulge: Tartine - a small toasted baguette with your choice of spreads. I chose walnut butter and Nutella. Enjoyed it very much. It was like a twist on a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup. The service was friendly and prompt, considering how completely packed the place was. Glad to see they had plenty of servers on hand. Our server was a nice guy as well and brought out the food very quickly. I would definitely like to come back to try other dishes here. Suggest coming early for the parking and the seating. FYI - I was able to get a wifi signal from a place nearby that was not secured, so "check in" when you get there. read more

I don't understand the 3.5 star rating at all. Perhaps because there are no other American breakfast places in the entire area - no other choices or competition. This place is for you If you don't cook & have nothing else to do all day. Why only 1 star? - The wait for a table on the weekend or a holiday is nearly 1 hour because of the lack of alternatives. It's also a small space. - There is nothing special/unique on the menu. I dine out to have food that I won't/can't cook, there's practically nothing on the menu that I cannot make myself. - To compound the 1 hour wait for a table. There were 9 people, count them NINE, who were seated after us, ordered their food, rec'd their food, ate their food, paid their check & left BEFORE our food arrived!!! I could only see half the room from our cramped seats so I'm positive that there were more than the 9 I witnessed!!! The same server seated us & still she took our order after taking the order from 5 people (2 parties) who were seated AFTER us. That doesn't equal the time difference for receiving our food. I think our order was lost, it wasn't noticed until they were leaving checks for other people & there was nothing done to expedite it. Bad management! Complete waste of $40 for brunch! - The seats we were given were ridiculously hot & sweaty, terrible conditions for any meal. It was practically in the kitchen & there is absolutely NO ventilation at all in the restaurant. It's usually the area reserved for employees to eat their meals. - Despite the heat, the water had zero ice. We had to ask for ice or drink warm water, ick. - The hollandaise sauce for the benedict was absolutely gross! It looked like congealed cheese, disgusting! Luckily I was smart to ask for it on the side so it didn't ruin all of the food. I had to eat the benedict without hollandaise, what is the point of that??! It was basically a dry egg mc muffin, except instead of Canadian bacon, they use cheap ham. The only reason I ate it was because it was 12:30pm (our name was on the list @ 11am!) & I was starving because I didn't eat anything all morning. - The side of potatoes were sooo greasy! There was an oil slick on the plate & yet the potatoes lacked flavor. Only plus - the side of fruit is fresh with various kinds of fruit & berries. Gee, well that saved me some chopping time in the kitchen. read more

It was late afternoon last Saturday, and we were in the Richmond. I was doing some historical research for a novel, with my husband and a writer friend in tow. On weekends, when in San Francisco with brunch intentions, it pays to wait and go late - helps you avoid the sidewalk crush of pert and early birds clamoring for avocado toast. Eats was still semi-populous around noon-thirty (they close around two, I believe), but not overrun - and they have a pretty great kindergarten-tested method for wrangling the unruly masses: you write your own name and party number on a chalkboard posted on a pillar outside, and the house staff works off that. It's something of an honor system with intermittent oversight. Knowing human nature, I had some doubts - otherwise upstanding people can get pretty sociopathic about brunch, and one could see where some Unconscionable could attempt to game the system; obviously as people are seated, names get erased, leaving tempting blank space above those still waiting. Theoretically, an unscrupulous would-be diner could attempt to exploit such a loophole while feigning ignorance. And indeed, some sketchy late-comers did attempt to write their names above, instead of below, visibly worrying two foreign tourist girls with the same party number, who had been politely waiting for at least a half-hour. Would America prove to be a land of chicanery and vice and brunch deferred? Resoundingly, no. The guy playing the part of host/waitron/houseman/line monitor that day was a seasoned do-no-harm-but-take-no-shit professional hospitality maven - firm and directed, but never once crossing the line into brusque or rude, which is frankly a tough line to walk. With an iron command of both chalk and board, he took one glance at the rogue names, re-wrote them below, erased them with a definitive flourish, and slapped the eraser back onto the board like it had personally insulted his mother. I didn't catch his name, but he was super cute, Asian, and had the stone-faced gravitas of a young Chuck Connors in dealing with the general shenanigans of the huddled and hungry denizens. As a former waitress, I swooned. Despite his (admirable) chalkboard tough-love, as a server he proved to be charming and good-natured, with a sense of humor and general savoir-faire that is rare and valuable in someone who works with the public. When I couldn't decide between the Mexican Scramble and the Divorce Eggs (come on, you want to eat them based on the name alone, don't you?), and asked his opinion, he said, "Tell you what - get the Mexican scramble, and I'll bring you the tomatillo salsa so you can have the best of both worlds." A man of decisive generosity - who could ask for anything more? My husband quite happily ensconced in his cowboy breakfast burrito, my friend was favorably impressed by her lox scramble with capers and cream cheese, and I have to say the bloody mary was just great - a perfect savory balance, well-seasoned and served in a wide-mouthed mason jar, apropos for the classy person we all are on a Saturday afternoon. Eats is a nice space, too - a neighborhood joint with actual aesthetic, close and cozy tables, but a clientele you don't mind cozying up to, and with less customer competition to beat off, being slightly off the beaten path. We shall certainly return forthwith on our next sojourn from Seattle! read more

See all

Really enjoyed the food and drinks. I appreciated the vegetarian options and the little outdoor seating space they'd set up. No wait at all on a random Tuesday at 11:30 but I am sure it gets packed on weekends. Only thing that would've made it better was if the breakfast mains came with a side included. read more

I came here for an early breakfast with my boyfriend before he went off to work and luckily there was one open table for us as we were kind of on a time crunch. He ordered the Benedict which he loved! It came with ham and asparagus on a sourdough English muffin which was unusual but really good. I got a half order of the chocolate chip banana pancakes and a half order of the Belgian waffle with berries. I love that they have a half size option because you know me I want to try a little bit of everything! The pancakes were really good but I think I liked the waffle even better! The whipped cream on top wasn't overly sweet and it came with a generous amount of berries and bananas. What a good way to start the day! read more

Eats - American Near Me - San Francisco, California

Under new ownership, there is a very disappointing new menu compared to the great menu I enjoyed for years. Many of my favorites are gone. Another change are the hours -- open only until 2 pm even on weekends -- forget a relaxing lunch here. read more

At first I wasn't a happy camper because I couldn't drink my coffee. The creamer container on our table was empty and our waiter did not even look at it to check. Then, he wasn't coming back for a while so we couldn't ask for it - then the party at the next table left so we picked up their creamer and I was finally able to have my coffee....so now I'm fine at this point...then the food came...Ahhhhh....everything was delicious! So that made up for the empty creamer container! We will definitely be back! read more
