This place has been around for quite some time. Many locals frequent this on a daily basis. It's definitely a pre-game spot on Giants Opening day. The bar tenders are friendly and always spark a conversation with you when sitting at the bar. The food is you American cuisine menu but everything I have ever tried has been delicious and satisfying. Based in the heart of Union street. Cool place to hag out any day of the week. read more

The food was okay but not the problem. We ordered sliders, fries, a burger, and wings, and everything was very average American style food. The problem was the mice :( at our outside table, right against the restaurant with a planter behind it, we saw at LEAST five mice come out and try to find food under the tables. They were huge. Our server was really nice and moved us, and even comped our drinks, but they then sat another couple at the table, who then also asked for move. Throughout our meal the mice were out and crawling under the tables, and even crawling across the sidewalk and further from the restaurant to check out our row of tables. The food was really just average, our server herself was super understanding, but I cannot believe that they didn't know the mice were there... there were several and they were crawling around under the tables for the duration of our time there. read more

Honestly the worst steak I've ever had was a Filet Mignon by Perry's. Ordered medium rare, it came out literally bone dry and no pink whatsoever. It was well done / overcooked. No. I didn't send it back, felt like it was so hopeless that they would not get it right. I walked around the restaurant and the strip steak looked slightly juicier. But. Ultimately, disappointed. The onion strings were good though. read more

Super cute, average place with a nice patio. We got the Perry Chardonnay, 2 Cobb salads, a Chopped salad and sweet potatoes fries. Everything was good quality and tasty but it's hard to blow me away with a salad and fries tbh. Would come back if someone else wanted to go here but not dying to go here again. read more

Chopped salad. It was ok, kind of plain but a good serving. The location is lovely and it was nice to enjoy the outdoor seating. I probably would have ordered a burger or sandwich. read more

Perry's is your classic American restaurant and bar. Service on a Saturday afternoon at 3pm was great. No reservations needed. We've been here plenty of times - and it can get really busy past 6pm so if you want to get seated come in around 3-4pm on weekend. You always get complimentary bread sticks with butter, which is just average imo. We usually come in for dinner but this time just came in for apps and drinks. We always get their potato skins which is just sooo good. Crisp bacon, heavy cheese, and potato goodness. Definitely a shareable appetizer since it is very heavy. Got the Garden party cocktail which is similar to a margarita, super refreshing. read more

Perry's is a super cute spot on union street. There's lots of indoor seating and outdoor seating too. The theme is cute with a picnic vibe. I got the tomato soup and the Mac and cheese for food. The Mac and cheese was nice and cheesy and the portion size was great. The pasta pieces were slightly undercooked to me though. The tomato soup was decent but maybe could've had more flavor. I also got French fries on the side. I think if I came back I'd try something else and more vegetarian options on the menu would be nice read more

Food was okay. Typical American fare. We went for a company even and the best thing about it was that it has private rooms and a lot of seating options. Maybe I shouldn't have gone with a salad? The Cobb was subpar and lacked flavor or salt. Expensive but that's everywhere in San Francisco. I've had better American cuisine elsewhere but overall it's a nice place to dine and bring guests. read more

After visiting this location, I can officially say that I have dined at every Perry's location! The food and service remains consistent across all locations, but this one hold a special place in my heart seeing that it is the original restaurant. I came with one other person, and we shared the calamari appetizer, the spinach salad with fried goat cheese, and the club sandwich with sweet potato fries. This was truly a delicious lunch! The portion sizes are large so I was able to take half of my sandwich and fries home. They tasted just as good that night for dinner. Perry's is a San Francisco staple that you must check out! read more

Stopped by for a quick drink and a bite. Was greeted immediately by the bartender. He took my order and made a really nice martini with Bombay, well shaken, with a couple of olives and offered me the menu. I was told the chili was a good choice by a close friend and opted for it. I was also served some nice breadsticks and butter. The chili was tasty and had a nice tang. It wasn't too spicy, but hearty and balanced, and totally hit the spot on a cool day. read more

Perry's is a classic on Union street and my favorite place to grab a quick dinner with friends before a night out. They make the best classics and you can't really go wrong with any of them! Their French onion soup and clam chowder coming piping hot and delicious. Their clam chowder isn't gloopy or overly fishy! Perry's has the best calamari! I love how they use strips and not the O's! The batter is fresh and hot. Also a major shot out to their onion strings that are my absolute favorite. Everything from the kitchen comes out fresh and hot- the way it should be! Service is always great and don't forget to take a matchbox on your way out! read more

I was craving a great burger and a beer for lunch, and Perry's was just the place! We started with the Grilled Artichoke, which was delicious. However, since it's cut into three pieces, the portions are small. It's easy to share, but I would have preferred it cut in half or left whole. For lunch, I had the Perry's Burger with cheese, avocado, and bacon. That first bite was amazing--it was cooked exactly as I ordered, medium rare. Overall, it was a great experience, and I'll definitely be back! read more

I remember Perry's from back when I was getting out of college and it was a great fun bar with really good food. I saw the ratings today and ordered up some food to be delivered. I had a mac & cheese and a bowl of chili and a big salad. The food came fairly quickly, which was nice. But when it arrived, the bag that the food was in was wide open. It had not been shut at the restaurant. No staple marks. Inside the bag on top of the mac & cheese and the chili was the box of salad. The mac & cheese and chili were both covered, but the box of salad was wide open from the restaurant, The DoorDash driver carried that bag fully open with my food, fully open exposed tomthe elements. From the kitchen, through the restaurant, walk outside, a motorcycle ride to my place and then past a crowded lobby. There is no way that bag, fully exposed to the elements with my salad inside wide open, was not contaminated. I'm not a germophobe, but I'm also not going to eat a salad that has been fully exposed from one end of San Francisco to another while it's being delivered via a DoorDash driver on a motorcycle. I called Perry's and they tried to assure me that the salad box had been closed and that it must have popped open. I sent them a picture showing that the box had never been shut. You could see where the tab was supposed to go to close it. and the tab was never used. Absolute gross. Poor practice from Perry's. So if you like contaminated food, Perry's is your place to order delivery. This was not a DoorDash issue. This was a Perry's restaurant issue. read more

We were invited to go to a birthday party today here for a party of 18. It is 53 degrees in the city and we have to sit outside when we had reservations that were booked earlier, not today. I ordered the corned beef hash which was very hard to chew, and lacked flavor. Also, we arrived early and when they told us it was onlgboutside seating, we looked at the seats outside under the awning and assumed that we would be seated there in the empyry seats, but with old grandparents, they still made us wait 15 minutes before the old people in our party could be seated. I was so hungry, but could only eat half of my food because it wasn't very good. So, I ate as much as I could to have enough energy to last the meal, then find another place to eat right after. read more

Perry's was busy during our visit. The burger is what caught hubs' attention. Started with the French onion soup - the broth was thicker than others I've had and it was flavorful. Hubs ordered the burger and he enjoyed it. Fries were crispy. Kiddo ordered the steak sando and I ordered the steak salad. Both were lackluster in flavor - missing seasoning or something. read more

I came to Perry's hoping for a solid brunch spot with good drinks and chill vibes, but left feeling... underwhelmed. Let's start with the Bloody Mary. I ordered it twice because I figured maybe the first one was just an off day. First round? So spicy it felt like my taste buds were being pepper-sprayed -- no flavor, just pure heat. Second round? Went the opposite direction and was basically a cup of straight vodka with a sad tomato tint. Honestly, it was like the bartender and I were playing Bloody Mary roulette. Food-wise, the onion rings were fine, but extremely forgettable -- the kind of thing you eat while making small talk and then immediately forget existed. The beet salad, though, is the one bright spot. My friends get it every single time we come here and it's consistently fresh and flavorful, so I can't knock it. The ahi poke? Meh. Not bad, not great, just aggressively average. Service was friendly enough, but I sat outside and barely saw my server after ordering. I get that it's a busy area and outdoor tables are a trek, but it did leave me feeling like an afterthought. The outdoor atmosphere is nice if you want to people-watch or soak in the neighborhood, but for the price and reputation, I expected a lot more consistency from the drinks and food. Perry's has its die-hard fans, but for me, it was a "been there, done that, probably won't rush back" kind of experience. read more

Perry's is a classic go to! It's reliable and I know I'll enjoy it every time. Most recently I ordered Perry's to go and it didn't disappoint. You know you've been somewhere too many times when you have a go to order! the chicken BLTA with a caesar side salad. I need to shoutout the random lady sitting at the table next to me earlier this summer who ordered a burger with a caesar side salad. I had no idea that was a side option before and at no extra charge! Idk if I'm the only person excited about this but that's ok haha. I can't really comment on the service this time since I did take out but the food was made really fast and it was easy to pick up. As a side note, they had half off bottles of wine in August. Can't wait for their next promo! read more

I used to love going to Perrys over the decades. My go to place alone or with others. Exciting to have lunch there this week. So many memories. Food was always good and generous in portions. People watching good. I used to love the 4th seat at the bar. I have photos of me there in 1988 and way before. The neighborhood is bustling again and plenty of shops so nice to stroll there. Great place to bring out of town company or friends just getting together. read more

First timer!! Great neighborhood bar with friendly locals and staff. I want to extend a HUGE THANK YOU to our bartender Chandler ( I think that was his name) who was nothing but professional when diffusing a situation that left me embarrassed. His actions is why I will definitely come back sans the difficult person lol. Try the buffalo wings! The sauce was so good that I would've asked for a side of it to drink hahaha!! Perry's is a great place and look forward to coming back!! Happy New Year!! read more

I love the Cobb salad here. They use a vinaigrette dressing instead of ranch so it's a bit lighter and healthier than most Cobb salad, while still being very filling. It was also very reasonably priced, which is hard to come by in San Francisco. So many over priced salads these days! read more

We order from them about monthly or less thru DoorDash. But tonight the chopped salad was all lettuce and minuscule chicken.

BUT THE PROBLEM WAS PERRY'S. read more

I was recommended Perry's for their burger and I was not let down-- initially. The first time I had it, it was simply the best burger I ever had. Medium rare, juicy, and beefy. I decided to bring someone over to try it as well and it was not the same! Maybe someone else made it but it was not at all the same! It was completely the opposite, and cold! It was disappointing I could not share the same experience with them. I guess there is just a little bit of inconsistency. The place is real cute though, I love the historical feel. read more

Our party of six ladies stopped in on a Tuesday for lunch. We were so impressed with the quality of food and the service. Our Waiter Julia was patient and gave great recommendations as far as what to eat. The artichoke appetizer we shared was yummy, the Ruben was huge, the chicken sandwich was moist and the burger cooked to perfection the spicy ribs were delicious and a huge portion. We ate inside and it was crowded yet cozy. We will come here again next time we are visiting the city. read more

The Beet Salad at Perry's exceeded expectations. The beets were well prepared, the dressing was a strong flavor but not overly heavy and the goat cheese croquettes were a revelation. But why do places never offer a vegetarian protein addition? It's such a blind spot. At least up charge me for something! I asked to sub more croquettes for the avocado and thankfully my server obliged despite hesitating. Otherwise there would only have been two croquettes which would be a dissatisfying ratio. Perry's can you make this a standard option? Including DoorDash? I will order it frequently if so! read more

Came here on a Friday night and made a reservation so we were seated immediately. The vibe of this place is kinda like a dive bar as it was pretty loud and hard to have a conversation due to the loudness. I ordered the French onion soup and the Caesar salad. The French onion soup was really good but the bread inside was kind of soggy and the cheese tasted a bit off for some reason. The Caesar salad was good and I liked the amount of cheese they put on it but wish they had added more croutons. This place was kind of expensive as I ordered two sides that ended up costing around $34 total. Personally, I liked the food but I can't justify the pricing for it as it's a bit too expensive for what you're getting which is why I knocked off a star. read more

Absolutely awful. Went there with 5 friends for brunch and it was beyond disappointing. I ordered a Bloody Mary which came in a wine glass with a lemon and didn't taste like a Bloody Mary. The arugula salad was bland - as if they threw arugula from a container and added a few veggies. How on earth does this restaurant stay in business when their food (and service) are that poor? Margie, thank you for your response. The Bloody Mary I was served had none of the things you described (certainly no celery salt on the rim or elsewhere). And when I asked the waitress about it, she was rude. I have never posted a negative review in my life - so you must know for me to do so, it must've been very bad. read more
