Truly, I marvel at their economy. The brisket was a bit dry. Maybe because I requested au jus instead of gravy? The baked potato was not super hot. The baked beans were delicious, no complaints. The portion is incredible. I would come here again and I'd like to try the round of beef. I love that you step up to the counter and just order whatever looks good to you. Service was very fast and friendly.

I was pleasantly suprised walking in, as I was greeted with a Warm, cozy rusticly decorated place full of charm . Immediately through the door to the right was a hof-brau manned by a gentleman ready to serve up whatever culinary delight you wanted to try. The place was peppered with tables, occupied by what appeared to be a heavy presence of regulars. Took a spot at the bar, and ordered a beer and a shot while my sister got a manhatten. Prices for happy hour were well within reason and the pour for the bourbon was quite generous. The barkeep was gregarious and engaging . I want to go back for sure and try the hof-brau.

They are open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Menu changes daily. Make sure to check the hours of operation. I went on a Wednesday for dinner and they had Mongolian beef or veggies with tofu. The sides that were available were jasmine rice or string beans. I chose the Mongolian beef for 3.75$, tofu veggie for 2.75$ and veggie sides for 1.xx$ the taste was decent for hospital cafeteria food. Exceeded my expectation. I will go back for lunch and breakfast to see what they offer. In my opinion, it's good value when you are stuck at the hospital.

I mean, I am stuck here until 3, and I had both breakfast and lunch here at this federal building…read morecafeteria, so I may as well write a review. Either that, or more youtube. The breakfast was not bad. They had an egg and cheese sandwich on their menu (no picture), and it was relatively inexpensive. When I asked is it scrambled, the cook said she could cook it anyway I wanted. She quickly scrambled some eggs, toasted the muffin, and breakfast was had. Simple, inexpensive, to the point....not bad. Lunch was a double cheeseburger. The same cooks, but now more of them due to the "lunch rush." Again, the cooks are very friendly. They are prompt, take special orders, and run it with the efficiency of a busy greasy spoon. The double cheeseburger was basic, I could say "nothing special," but again for a Federal Building cafeteria, the burgers actually tasted like.....beef (rare for quick service places, so credit on them). The fries were thinner (I prefer thick), but each order of fries is literally fried to order, so they were hot and crispy. Overall, the prices, considering we're in San Francisco and stranded here due to whatever brings us here, are fairly reasonable. The cashier at lunch ahd a little attitude, but the breakfast cashier was very sweet. If you are stranded here or don't want to go through the ID and x-ray check line again, then it is not bad for breakfast/lunch to hang around.

This was our second time at Merchant Roots but the first was in 2019 when they first opened, so really glad to see their lovely new space and how dedicated they are to the experience.

I finally changed…read morethat when, after much deliberation and walking between several restaurants in Hayes trying to choose, my friend settled on this spot for our dinner together. Despite not having a resy, it was early enough during the dinner hours that we were seated immediately upon entering. We browsed the menu and decided upon the citrus marinated calvestrano olives as our antipasti, belfiore burrata insalata, salsiccia pizza, and roasted corn as our contorni. Our order was taken within a short amount of time, and the food began to arrive. We received the olives and belfiore burrata insalata first. The olives were so tangy and crisp and a great choice to start the meal. The burrata was silky smooth and ended up being my favorite dish out of the entire dinner. The roasted corn and salsiccia pizza arrived a bit after. I'm typically not a fan of corn at all, but I actually didn't mind it here. It was extremely difficult to cut the corn off of the cob with the dull dinner knives, but it tasted good and had a bit of a spicy flair, which elevated the side dish. Lastly, the pizza was a bit of a letdown. While all the dishes leading up to it built anticipation, the pizza under-delivered. The ends were thin and floppy, so the ingredients would slide off if I didn't eat it with my fork and knife. Only after about halfway through each slice could I pick it up to eat. The flavor was fine but not exceptional. At least the end crust was great with a nice, soft chew, and subtle, salty flavor, so I didn't leave behind a crumb. Three out of four dishes is actually pretty decent, so I'll take it, and it's also worth noting that the meal did not disappoint. Additionally, I quite liked the service here. After dropping off the dishes, I think the staff checked on us once to ensure we were pleased with everything, but they didn't hover, which I find annoying at other places. At the end of the meal, we were able to split the check in two and pay via Apple Pay, which was efficient. Overall, it was a good experience dining in, and I'm glad I finally got to check out this place.

The layout is confusing, hodge podge, one basic grill station with way too many orders and not enough cooks, though they're all trying their best and hauling ass :-) Two refrigerated sections of prepackaged foods, mostly healthy, sort of paradoxical since they have bags and bags of potato chips surrounding all the gluten free kale/spinach oriented stuff. Very funny. They have a board of daily three soups and specials, plus drinks, on the healthy side. Didn't see sodas, thank heaven. I get the sense they're trying to figure it out. The food options simply weren't varied enough. They also had a salad bar, and because I'm so petite, my arms wouldn't reach the middle and back row of the salad bar, so I was excused from eating salad for lunch :-) Chagrined to say I got an Angus beef burger with cheese, good thing I didn't have an ppt with a cardiologist. The seating is open with glass everywhere, sunshine streaming through, super comfortable padded seating, with tables that you can move closer to you, not the fixed kind as in a fast food places. In keeping with the decor and minimalist modern style of the hospital, every=thing is white and steel and glass. Everyone I interacted with was super friendly and helpful, directing me to the cutlery, napkins, and water dispenser, etc. This is not a shabby beginning but they need to work on offering more of a varied menu and organize the set up more.

The nurses recommended the poke bowls so went for a grab-n-go meal…read more The teak-colored wood and large windows make this place serene, unlike any other drab hospital cafeteria. The set-up is confusing. Staff is busy working at different stations. Am I ordering from them, is there a dedicated area for that? I got the poke bowl with shrimp. The shrimp had been sitting in a garlic or lemongrass broth but instead of imparting flavor, the shrimp was mealy and unappetizingly mushy. I got all the fixin's so I picked at the shrimp and ate the seaweed and some rice and put it aside. They have vegan and vegetarian options as well as pizzas and burgers though with fit 'n' trim medical staff conspicuously ordering brown rice, vegetables and tofu you might feel the eyes of judgment on you. If you want a break to sip some tea undisturbed while watching the world go by or grab something healthy to eat, you can find it at this cafe that is gently priced despite its convenience inside the hospital. 2.10 for the poke bowl (don't leave shrimp soaking in water, they get mushy) 3.15 for the behind the grill/station staff, they are kind but disorganized 4.25 for a beautiful, airy restaurant and understatedly solicitous staff
