    Belgian Waffle
    Tiffany C.

    Was looking for a brunch place after my doctor's appointment and stumbled upon Eddie's Cafe! Everything tasted SO perfect from the omelette to the hash brown to the waffle. I even finished the sourdough toast! I had some help from my husband but I normally would not eat so much for brunch! Everything about the omelette was so good! The hash brown was nice and crispy! The waffles had a nice crunch to it too! The restaurant was super busy so it took a while for the servers to get to us at times but all of them were super friendly! I will definitely be back!

    Sorry this is her

    By far one of the worst dining experiences I've had. When we walked in, the server was already arguing with another customer about his order while we waited to be seated. She didn't acknowledge us until I said "excuse me," and even then barely moved so we could squeeze into a booth. My husband wanted to try this place since it's been around since 1974, but today was definitely not the day. The server kept correcting me when I ordered my Denver omelette with cheese and light onions. My husband asked for his French toast first -- she said okay. Didn't happen (see photo)! The busboy was great and brought delicious coffee, and the sourdough toast was amazing though I did not appreciate it getting their way before my food. But the food arrived 15 minutes later: my potatoes were cold and the eggs were lukewarm. When I told the server, she dismissed it, insisting it "just came from the kitchen snapping if I wanted her to warm my eggs up? In a microwave no thank you! The cook did send fresh hot hash browns, which I appreciated, but the rest of my plate was still cold. Her attitude completely killed my appetite. The only positives were the friendly busboy who kept my coffee filled and the nice man behind the counter. Otherwise, we won't be returning. Today was definitely not the experience my husband & I hoped for. this place only got two stars because of the busboy and the Cook behind the bar. She's supposed to be taking orders and delivering the food. She felt short there. So sorry guys!

    Name of Establishment and menu

    The dining experience was significantly marred by poor customer service from the owner, who also served as the waitress and wore a white collared shirt. Upon expressing dissatisfaction with the salmon croquettes due to their excessive saltiness, the owner reacted unprofessionally and took offense. She became visibly upset and insisted that I should not order the dish again. Her reaction escalated to the point where she demanded the chef prepare another salmon croquette so she could personally taste it, repeating the request four times despite the chef's hesitation. This confrontational and defensive behavior overshadowed the meal and made the environment uncomfortable. Such a response to constructive feedback is unacceptable in hospitality. Given this experience, I cannot recommend this establishment. For a short five-minute drive, the Pork Store on Haight offers a far superior dining experience with better food and customer service.

    You can't go wrong with Eddie's Cafe! This is one of the few old school breakfast spots in the area so it can get busy on weekend mornings. We waited about 15 minutes for a table before opting to sit in the outside covered area for our party of 5. Once seated, the waitress took our order quickly and suggested we get a round of pancakes for the table - we did not regret this! I ordered the bacon and egg breakfast which comes with hashbrowns and a choice of biscuits or toast. Usually I'm hesitant to opt for biscuits but MAN were these fluffy and fresh! Hash browns and bacon were crisped to perfection and the sunny side egg was not an ounce overcooked. At the end of the meal, the owner was so kind and came out to greet us! I can't wait to come back here on the earlier side (they open at 7:30 am) to sit at the counter or booth. :)

    Behind every major city in America is a classic local diner. Eddies Cafe is the local diner of San Francisco. This place is the size of a living room, with very limited seats and no reservations.. but that's what makes this place so special. The food is exactly what it needs to be, simple and delicious. Two coffees, two breakfast entrees, and table pancake - under $50 and out the door in 30 minutes... now that's what you want on a foggy San Francisco Sunday morning.

    spinach, mushroom, and cheese omelette
    Emilie S.

    No frills, classic diner spot on divis. I recommend ordering the homemade biscuits, they come warm and with a side of butter. I ordered the spinach, mushroom, and cheese omelette and it came with hashbrowns. the hashbrowns are perfectly crispy on the outside. My partner had coffee and a traditional breakfast. I love that the coffee comes in a novelty mug. The staff is super friendly and attentive. It was only $40 for both of our meals, which is pretty good compared to the restaurants along divis.

    Perfect unassuming cute little diner on the corner of divis st. Walking inside is like stepping back in time to the 80's or something- cute little booths and seating at the bar if you are dining solo. Love all the memorabilia and pictures hanging on the walls and oldschool jazzy music playing. Wasn't too busy for a sunday at lunchtime We sat in the booths, standard brunch/lunch menus,nice and clean, great friendly service. Got the bacon and eggs with hash browns and toast, and a side of pancakes with fruit to share. Food arrived pretty quick. It was much tastier than expected for a simple meal- i don't know what they did but the bacon and hashbrowns were so good, they really hit the spot. Pancakes and fruit were also a nice way to top off the meal, we were pretty hungry so scoffed the lot. They really do the simple foods right here. And the prices are good too so you aren't breaking the bank on brunch. I really enjoyed it, and will definitely be back.

    Pancake combo with scrambled eggs and chicken apple sausage.
    Luke P.

    Walked in thinking "oh cute, someone's grandma decorated after a Giants game." Five minutes later I'm drowning in signs about fees, surcharges, and hearing refill rules. Pancakes were elastic but edible, eggs meh, chicken apple sausage fine. The kicker: $3.50 for an iced tea with no refills, while water, basically iced tea without the tea bag, is free. Make it make sense. Staff was pleasant, but the nickel and diming was louder than the decor. I left 15% and my dignity, and I won't be back.

    Belgian waffle, eggs, salmon croquettes
    Jackie W.

    Solidly 3 stars. Eddie's cafe is a quaint diner with all the usuals. I tried the Belgian waffle with two eggs and salmon croquettes. I was intrigued by the choice of salmon croquettes in addition to sausage, bacon, etc., but I was disappointed by a lack of flavor and substance. The eggs which I ordered over medium were well cooked, and the waffle was fine. All in all, most of my meal was a slightly elevated hotel continental breakfast, but for $16.99. The interior is simple and somewhat crowded. The booths are snug. The wait was about 5 minutes for a party of 2 around noon on Sunday, and there were parties of diners waiting when we left. This could explain the "hurry up" attitude from the wait staff. Despite the mediocrity, a few highlights were 1) nostalgic vibes and 2) unique mugs for the coffee.

    Great vibe, cute little hole in the wall diner that serves great diner food. If you are in the mood for a quick sit down eat then this is the place to go. Lady that owns the place is very kind and welcoming as well!

    These people are so kind such great and fast service, the workers and potentially owner were so generous to us and had a great genuine conversation with them. Food was great after a long night out and affordable for SF!

Causwells is one of the restaurants definitely worth exploring. First off, everyone on staff is so incredibly kind, generous, and welcoming, you'll never want to leave. There is a small bar area immediately to your left when you walk into this intimate feeling Restaurant. The bartender makes you feel like you're walking into chairs. Yes he's busy, but he acknowledges customers walking in. Very cool! We were immediately seated, and while the tables are on the smaller side and fairly close to one another, it's still created a very cozy experience. They have a nice menu that with a variety of items. The people seated next to us were enjoying the salmon and it looked absolutely delicious. We went for the burgers, because it's one of their must try items on the menu. It's a Smashburger with gooey cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, and this delicious deliciously soft tasty bun. Diners tip: the burger comes with onions, and we both asked for them to be grilled. This is definitely the way to go. The burger is very generous in size, snd delicious. Perfectly seasoned, well-made, and it is that taste sensation that we all crave when eating a burger. The fries were tasty and lightly seasoned, and if you can get through the entire burger and the fries, you get a gold star. I did my usual two bites and I was done and yes, I took the rest home with me. This is a great restaurant and definitely should be on your list of places to try!

Salad with sunchokes and citrus was a nice bit of roughage, nice bitterness in the lettuces. - Banana bread 'grilled cheese' is an epiphany. Must try. - Cocktails were fun & IGworthy. - Vibes & location feel so perfect on a sunny afternoon. Cons: - 1 bathroom stall, can only imagine how rough this gets when during a busy dinner service. - Service was friendly, but often multiple asks for the same item, and long waits between check ins. Overall, a decent spot in an area flush with choice. Probably more of a 3.5 than a 4, but well round up here!

Once they cool down and if you eat them later (room temp or toasted) it's a solid bagel but it's really only worth a special trip in my opinion if they are hot and fresh
