This place is located at the corner of the street. The entrance area has the bar and a couple of tables. There are more tables further inside the restaurant. The decor was nice and the restaurant had lots of light inside. I was sat almost immediately at a two person table. The servers quickly helped us and the food came out at a reasonable time. This place offers a variety of unique dishes. I opted for the sausage and shrimp grits, a pistachio latte, and my partner ordered the coastal benedict. I've never had grits before but it was delicious and the flavors of the shrimp and sausage complimented each other. The coastal benedict had lots of flavor and a good portion of crab meat. The crispy potatoes were a nice balance to the benedict. I do recommend trying any of their specialty lattes because the pistachio latte was so flavorful. I would definitely come back to enjoy with some friends. read more

Came in for brunch on a Sunday morning. Thankfully got there right at 9am when they opened and got seated right away. There was a line before they opened as well. It's cute inside and a nice little area with tables outside along the restaurant. We ordered drinks, tried the duck hash, sweet flight, and a couple other entrees. The food came out and all food is plated nicely. The duck hash was great and had a nice smoky taste. Wish there was a little more duck with all the veggies. Salad and toast with it was as expected. Roasted potatoes with my friends plates were cooked well, so delish and good texture to the potatoes. Sweet flight was ok but thought they'd be better or fluffier and didn't quite meet expectations. Service was good and would go back again. read more

We came by on a Friday morning and there was NO WAIT at all! Amazing! The service was amazing. The coffee was also pretty good. Monte cristo: so so so yummy. I've had it once at another restaurant (a bite) and I didn't really like it. But I was drawn to the photos so I ordered it and it was so delicious. I need to get a bigger stomach so I can eat more Hong Kong style french toast: very sweet and yummy but definitely meant for a dessert and would be too much as a meal. Chicken and red velvet waffle: the waffle was very tasty and filling. The chicken came out incredibly fried and delicious. No notes here! Lobster scramble: there were piles of lobster. We were nervous because we thought that the lobster might not be fresh/taste as good but it was yummy! Not at all fishy and absolutely delicious! read more

I totally hate restaurants that specialize in 3200 calorie breakfasts. I adore Plain Jane. This is because Plain Jane is SO MUCH BETTER than the typical over-stuffed french toast, eggs benedict and mimosa cliche place. * * * I do not like being sloshed after breakfast. I do not like being stuffed full of sugar and starch that only tastes of sugar and starch. There is more mediocre hollandaise sauce out there than you can point a finger at. * * * Plain Jane blows all of those cliches away. Okay, I didn't drink, so I can not talk about the quality of their alcoholic offerings. But their Monte Cristo sandwich is a wonder. This is the breakfast sandwich of your dreams. Yes, it is huge. Yes, it contains enough calories to get you through the winter. Actually, there are enough calories to get you through a winter in Siberia. But the Monte Cristo sandwich is an absolute taste wonder. Their secret? 1) Use a hundred zillion ingredients. (Lots of people do that.) 2) Have each ingredient at the peak of flavor so it can stand out in a crowded mouthful. (Almost nobody does that) 3) Mix the composition of the sandwich around so that every single bite tastes different. (See the almost nobody line above.) The result: An endlessly fascinating breakfast experience that completely occupied my attention. Everyone else at my table adored what they got. * * * There is a line to get into Plain Jane. I would happily wait in that line again. read more

Plain Jane's menu selection was very appealing! My husband was searching for brunch spots Saturday morning on Yelp and we quickly headed over and arrived around 11:30am. Line is first come first serve so there wasn't a waitlist. There was maybe 2-3 parties of head of us and it went by fairly quickly. Waited maybe 15 minutes and was promptly seated inside. Lovely ambience, tall ceilings with large windows and decorated fairly bright and fun. Residential street parking available. Took me 1 circle around the neighborhood and found parking a block away fairly quickly. Service was prompt and friendly, and the food we ordered was tasty: 1x New England Lobster Roll with a side of sweet potato fries (extra cost), and coleslaw 1x New England Lobster Scramble with toast 1x iced Pistachio latte (mild in flavor) 1x iced lavender latte Would be very interested in coming back to try other items, especially their fried chicken and waffles! Looked absolutely banging. read more

Plain Jane is an absolute hidden gem tucked away in the Mission District.It is a breakfast/brunch spot that doesn't just serve food, it celebrates it. The moment you walk in, the cozy and welcoming energy wraps around you like a hug. Every detail feels intentional. The vibes are effortlessly pleasant, and you can tell this place was made with care. I ordered Jane's Plate, which included this particular scallion bacon pancake with gorgonzola, and let me tell you, it was something amazing, something I've never tasted before- Crispy and presented with detail on the outside, while savory and layered with flavor once you take a bite- it somehow manages to be comforting and totally original at the same time. And don't even get me started on the breakfast potatoes, EVERY single one was golden, crisped to perfection, and seasoned just right! That kind of consistency only comes from people who love what they're doing. It's all about the little things sometimes. There's this joyful inventiveness in every dish that feels rare these days. Thank you, Plain Jane, for the INCREDIBLE meal. I hope to come back the next time I'm in San Francisco! This place has officially made my "must-visit" list. read more

Wry nice atmosphere. Short wait to get seated. Ordered some great breakfast items but had a huge challenge to get a side order of beef patty with breakfast. After talking with two servers and the server finally asking the chef, they ordered a beef patty but then they brought pork. They sell beef burgers. Suggestion to owners, make a beef patty a side option for people who want extra protein but don't want to eat a pork patty. read more

Great food , the lobster Benedict was delicious. Lots of Lobster. With 2 perfectly poached eggs, veggies and sauce. Paired with Orange Juice it was perfect. The service was a little slow. The place is nice reminds me of a country house. I would recommend it, specially because of the location and food. read more

Food was amazing!!!

Highly recommend for breakfast and brunch - they have unique options, and you can't go wrong with any of them (yes - even the fried chicken and red velvet waffles). With its kind staff and casual ambiance, it's a great spot to catch up over some delicious food (then walk down 24th for a lil post-meal stroll). Recommend!! read more

Brunch is the most important meal of the day, it's my personal favorite. I'm very big on a light breakfast and then doubling down with a heavier lunch, and Plain Jane delivers. The establishment itself is very lovely, being able to host large parties in a cozy intimate fashion. The plates, mugs, and food made me feel like I was at my grandmas house because it was so cute and so filling. The service and care we where given while we came was top notch, bringing all our food at the same time, ensuring my cup was always full, and keeping an eye out for us and our needs. Plain Jane is the type of place I want to go for my birthday, to celebrate, and to enjoy my friends company. The food is amazing, with a menu that has flavor and variety. I've been a few times now and they never miss! read more

Honestly, wasn't too impressed my first visit to Plain Jane's, BUT I'm so glad I gave it a second try! I personally didn't love the Chipotle Honey Fried Chicken & Red Velvet Waffle. I ordered this my first visit. The fried chicken wasn't very flavorful and the chipotle sauce didn't do much for me. Red velvet waffle was okay, but didn't like it with the chipotle chicken. The real MVP was the Jane's Plate! Two eggs, chive pancakes, bacon and crispy potatoes. 10/10!!! I'm still thinking about the chive pancakes with a dollop of Gorgonzola Mascarpone cream on top. Amazing. Bacon was crispy, scrambled eggs fluffy and potatoes solid. This restaurant doesn't take reservations, but has plenty of seating and the line moves fast. Last call on food is 1:30, so make sure your entire party is there before then! Also, only 1 bathroom (mostly likely will have a line). I'll definitely be returning for those chive pancakes. read more

Plain Jane was so so delicious. Arrived on a long weekend Monday around 11:30am and waited for about 10 minutes for a table to be seated outside. They had plenty of heaters outside so it wasn't too chilly. I ordered the Coastal Benedict after a lot of deliberation of whether I should splurge on seafood, and it was worth every penny. My plate was loaded with Dungeness crab meat and shrimp, and the flavors meshed so well with the yolky and saucy poached egg. The potatoes were also perfect and crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. Big portion and delicious! Had a bite of the chive pancake as well, which I thought was unique as it's not often that there are savory pancake options. Very tasty. My friends ordered a mimosa carafe which was heavy on the champagne, which is fun if that's the type of brunch vibe you're looking for! I sipped on a red velvet latte, which was bright and vibrantly colored and tasted like liquid dessert in a cup. Great meal and great experience! read more

Amazing food - enjoyed a breakfast of lobster meat over scrambled eggs - really good preparation - but the star was the weather bread - seems to be homemade and absolutely delicious. Highly recommend this sport - charming decor, great service and great menu! read more

4.5/5 Frisco omelette: 3.5/5 all the ingredients tasted fresh. It was a standard omelette, nothing extremely surprising. The crispy potatoes were more crispy than I expected, but I'm unsure if I'm a fan of the potatoes. PJ's monte cristo: 5/5: never had anything like it before and I loved it. It was both savory and sweet and would come back for this dish. The salad we got as a side was also great! The food was overall delicious and fresh! Service was attentive and friendly. I would recommend plain jane for brunch. read more

Becuse of the many good reviews from yelp I decided to give Plain Jane a try for a Sunday brunch The place is very popular be prepared to wait 15 to 30 mn but its worth the wait. I had the Lobter benedict and loved it, lots of good Lobster meat in it however I didn't like the bread they used , I found the bread is too hard to cut and chewy to bite. My companions seems very happy with their orders, over all I love the place but if I had a choice I would choose different bread type for the eggs benedict ! read more

Came here on a Monday at 10AM for a party of 3 and didn't have to wait for a table. When we left around 1130AM, the wait was piling out the door. Great place with good food and portions. Prices range from $25-$35 per dish. 2 meals and one mimosa came out to $90! It's definitely not a cheap eats. But their lobster scramble wasn't skimpy on the meat and they followed instructions on getting my potatoes extra crispy. They also offer great flavors for their mimosas! It's definitely worth a try. But because of their heavy price tag, it's not a place you can regular. read more

I gave one star for how they treated customers at the door. We arrived at 1:30 knowing that they close at 2 pm. Basically the server was very rude to force us order and kept saying you have to leave right at 2!!!! At first we understood and was thinking about to order. But her attitude and loud voice made us very uncomfortable and we left immediately. Just a warning, donot even try to come here is it's with one hours of they closing time. They will probably treat you very badly so you will leave on time:). read more

We were looking for some brunch in the Mission and decided to stop by here around 1PM. There was surprisingly no wait so we were seated right away. The place had a very cozy and knit environment which is perfect for a brunch setting! There are a variety of brunch options that you can choose from and if you're not too hungry, I'd recommend sharing dishes since the portions can be pretty big. In our case, however, we each got a dish and ordered a drink. Red Velvet Iced Latte (4/5) - The latte tasted like your average latte you get from Starbucks. It had a very light hint of red velvet that you can barely taste. It was good but not really what we wanted. Chipotle Honey Fried Chicken and Red Velvet Waffles (5/5) - The fried chicken and bacon was very crispy and delicious! I really liked how its flavored meshed very well with red velvet waffles. The dish also had a chipotle honey sauce on the side which was ok and honestly just stated like spicy barbecue sauce. New England Lobster Scramble (5/5) - I really liked the lobster and how fresh it was. The eggs were also so soft and melted in your mouth. Overall, the food here is great and the portion size are huge so definitely share if you don't have a big appetite! read more

Super excited to try this place after stumbling upon their Instagram page but unfortunately, it was a bit of disappointment. We came at 10am on a Monday and it wasn't busy so we got seated immediately. Our server took our order pretty quickly but it took over 30 minutes for our food to come. We ordered the Classic Benedict and Chipotle Honey Fried Chicken & Belgian Waffle. The Benedict was just ok, it lacked flavor and my egg didn't turn out runny like I asked. The potatoes wasn't too bad, some pieces were crunchy. The Chicken & Waffle was extremely dry and the waffle wasn't fluffy or soft. It tasted like old waffles ): the ube latte was good tho! my fave YUM! just wish it was a little hotter lol Service was quick in the beginning but eventually felt ignored after multiple attempts at following up on our order and getting the check. Overall, think this place is overhyped. Don't think I'd be back ): read more

FIRST TIMER HERE!! First & foremost: COME BEFORE NOON, it definitely gets crowded!! Came to have brunch w/ an old friend. Ordered the Coastal Benedict and it was MARVELOUS! Not to fond of the potatoes, definitely was over cooked. My nieces fruit looked very fresh, probably should have gotten that instead of potatoes. Overall, the spot is very cute and food taste great. However, I gave only 3 stars bc our waiter, for some odd reason, thought it was OK to question the tip we left her. That completely threw my morning and mood off. I GOT A TIP FOR U MISS SERVER / WAITER MA'M... I DID NOT HAVE TO TIP YOU... THE AUDACITY! read more

I came with as a party of 4 and got seated pretty quickly on the July 4th weekend. It was a little confusing though because they had a lot of open tables but still made us wait 10 min to get seated? The service is probably the part that bothered me the most and hence a two star deduction bc the food itself isn't great enough to compensate. I ordered the monte cristo and had high hopes but sadly was met with some disappointment. It just seemed to lack an oomf and the berry jam was a little too thick for my liking. I also realized they never asked me if I wanted potatoes or salad which is a ding on them too. Luckily I liked their potatoes. The tenders were decent and crispy but the fries fell a little flat - and also a little too soggy. Other people in my party got an omelet and Benedict but nothing so good to write home about. Overall, glad I tried another brunch place but probably won't be back anytime soon. read more

Plain Jane is definitely NOT plain! If you're in the Mission, this is definitely a good spot for brunch. Went on a girl's trip and saw the reviews for this place on Yelp and just had to try it out. My friend got the PJ's Sweet Flight - an assortment of all of their sweet breakfast options: red velvet pancake, cottage pancake, and custard French toast. Presentation was so beautiful! I tend to favor more savory breakfasts but even I admit this was pretty good. My friend LOVED it! My other friend and I decided to share the chicken and red velvet waffles. This dish was served with chipotle honey sauce, maple syrup, and guacamole. It even came with bacon! The chicken was crispy and tasted like your standard fried chicken. The star of the show was definitely the red velvet pancakes. I've never had waffles like that before! They were cooked really well and had the perfect amount of sweetness. Super yummy. Service was great! My friends even said they would want to come here again if we're ever in SF! read more

Sunday brunch on a hot day - there was definitely a line, but thankfully moved fast as they seated 2-tops. All together only had to wait about 15 mins. I'd recommend sitting outside since inside has no AC and was definitely hotter than outside and water was warm/but you can ask for a cup of ice. Everyone really enjoyed their dishes - I got the club and was surprised at how big it was - I'd say sweet potato fries are the right choice. We also got a guava mimosa carafe but it tasted like orange ...and was orange? All good, would come again! read more

An SF classic and I can tell why! We came Memorial Day weekend, and the line was 10 people long. Yet, we only waited 15 minutes for our group of 3. We were seated and ordered within 10 minutes, and the food came shortly after. I ordered a pistachio latte and the French toast. My friends ordered the oyster mushroom scramble and Norwegian Benedict. The French toast was very fluffy and filled with cream that made it lighter and richer at the same time - would highly recommend, especially with all the fruit! It's a smaller portion than some of the egg dishes but likely because it's heavy. The oyster scramble was really yummy, very garlicky and even better with some Cholula, though some of the veggies were a little odd to pair (cauliflower and zucchini). Great breakfast potatoes - crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside :) Loved the pistachio latte - light pistachio flavor but still strong enough to wake me up!! Very pleasant brunch vibes, excited to be back! read more
