Plow is definitely worth the wait! Our group got a delicious smorgasbord of plates Lemon ricotta pancakes - absolutely delicious. Not too sweet - loaded with flavor Fried egg sandwich - pairs great if you split the lemon pancakes - sweet and savory - definitely add the bacon! The iced coffee was good - a little on the bitter side We sat outside, it was a hot day so bring a hat/sunglasses Plow is a spot to have on your brunch bucket list read more

90 minutes on a Sunday - you put your name down, can leave but need to be back or they will skip your name and no texting or anything. I actually don't mind that- almost half the people were not around and it made the wait go faster. But I was a bit annoyed they sat us at a counter without asking- it was fine but we were expecting a table and would have probably rather wait a little longer for one. They only asked about inside vs outside and we said either was fine but no indication that we needed to mention we wanted a table. Most places seem to give you the heads up and make sure it was fine. Oh well. Everything sounded great and "The Plow" included 2 lemon ricotta pancakes, 2 eggs, pork sausage (you can also get chicken apple sausage links or bacon), and potatoes. The one nice thing of the counter is you get to watch them make everything and it is so organized and efficient. Food was solid. The wait went by pretty quick and wasn't a factor for me. I thought the pancakes were just okay- with all the hype I guess I expected them to be amazing but I honestly make better lemon ricotta pancakes (LOL). I think they needed a lot more lemon zest, maybe a touch of sugar, and the salted butter sounds great but added literally nothing. Maybe it was an off day and they weren't bad my any means but definitely nothing special. Similar thoughts on the pork sausage which was maybe slightly overcooked and the eggs which were a little under seasoned and I prefer mine a bit runnier. The potatoes were excellent, I liked those a lot and their hot sauce is very good too. $27 for the plate which seems a bit high but it's brunch in SF and it's nice they have the option to get the savory stuff but also a couple pancakes. And considering a single pancake is $7.50 it seems like a much better option to get the plate (overall all their sides are almost laughably priced ordered a la carte). I will say they use nice ingredients and a lot of the same producers I try to support in my own shopping/cooking as well as the same type of practice like pasture raised eggs. That in itself makes me feel good supporting them. I'd consider coming back but would request to sit outside and enjoy the vibes, definitely get something with potatoes, and maybe some hot sauce to go. Three and a half stars, I rounded up for now and will re-evaluate after another visit. read more

Service 5/5 The staff were very friendly and efficient Ambiance 4/5 Cool little spot. Have some few tables outside on sidewalk as well as a deck area in front of restaurant. It was such a nice day we sat outside. Food 5/5 The Plow was delicious. Nothing was "salty" Pancakes were nice and soft I will definitely come back even just for the BISCUIT! It's a MUST TRY! read more

This is an incredibly popular restaurant in the Dogpatch district of SF. The wait time on a holiday weekend was about 1.5hrs. There is some room to sit as you wait and there seems to be plenty of street parking around. The inside is cozy and I was tickled by their menu. They print a new menu daily! I wonder if they vary the menu by the day. We liked everything that we tried! We shared a biscuit and Hong Kong Toast. The toast was a little burnt and you could taste that through the condensed milk. The biscuit with the honey butter was delicious! These make great shareables because they're a lot on their own. The plow is a great sampler breakfast platter and I'm so glad they offer that! It comes with 2 lemon ricotta pancakes, choice of eggs and protein! Huge portions and I shared this with my husband! We really enjoyed the food and would love to return when we're next in SF! read more

We finally made it to Plow in Potrero Hill after hearing so much hype about it. We expected the hour wait since it's such a popular brunch spot, and honestly sitting outside on a beautiful San Francisco morning in Potrero Hill made the wait pretty enjoyable. The neighborhood itself has such a great atmosphere. Unfortunately, the food didn't really live up to the reputation for us. I ordered the fried egg sandwich, while my partner got The Plow with eggs, lemon ricotta pancakes, potatoes, and bacon. The breakfast sandwich was basically just egg and cheese with a tiny handful of frisée. Adding bacon or avocado was another $5-6 each on top of an already $18 sandwich, which felt excessive considering how simple it was. The potatoes had good seasoning, but they were pretty undercooked in my opinion. The lemon ricotta pancakes were also disappointing. They were dense, dry, and almost biscuit-like rather than light and fluffy. The bacon and fresh orange juice were both good, though. Overall, the experience and setting were enjoyable, but the food itself just didn't feel worth the hype or price point. read more

Plow has been on my list of spots to try for over a decade. I finally had the opportunity to check them out on a random early Thursday morning around 7:15am. There were 2 other tables occupied and the server seated our party of 2 next to another table of 2. We were literally arm and arm with our neighbors. I asked for a different table and then got seated next to the other table of 2, which was another arm and arm situation. Finally, I asked if the counter was available, which was where we ended up having breakfast. That was super awkward to say the least. Not just for us, but to the other patrons since there were so many empty tables, including outside tables. Totally understand in trying to maximize seating, but that morning wasn't hustling or bustling with patrons. Good brunch options weren't as plentiful 10+ years ago as it is now. For the price and quality/quantity of our Plow brunch, it was underwhelming. I opted for the Soft Scramble and saw the eggs were from a pre-mixed carton (don't even think they're real eggs). However, The Plow included real eggs, saw the chef crack open the eggs on the grill-top. Sitting at the counter has advantages to see what and how the chefs are cooking. Service started off on the wrong foot with the seating situation, and can't say that it improved. Overall, this experience was just ok. I don't need to come again, I've satisfied my Plow inqueries. #13/2026 read more

Went to SF and decided to try Plow. What a gem of a restaurant. Light, bright, clean and packed with hungry fans. We be ordered their namesake the Plow. Lemon ricotta pancakes, crispy potatoes, an egg with house made sausage. And an order of sourdough toast and two eggs. Delicious. A little hint. The sausage was a bit spicy for those that don't do spice. The pancakes were tiny but still plentiful. The crispy potatoes are awesomely perfect. read more

First time here after many attempts of eating brunch! We put our name down at 11am and was told to come back after 2-2.5 hours for a table of six. We popped by Ilea coffee and went to Breadbelly bakery short drive away. For the wait, I don't think I would come back. It's decent brunch food but nothing that can't be done somewhere else like at Sweet Maple or Wooden Spoon. The only standout is the Ricotta pancake which is very creamy yet cakey, and not too sweet. read more

The plow - absolutely love their potatoes, nice crispy edges and perfectly seasoned. highly recommend getting their apple chicken sausage, it's the perfect balance of savory sweet. the pancakes are PHENOMENAL, it's a bit dense but still fluffy and paired so well with the light lemon whip. very filling and shareable. French toast - it's huge, definitely shareable. I like the crisp edges, it's not overly sweet and the whipped cream adds a creamy sweet touch! really fluffy and simple, super delicious! Came at 7:45AM on a Sunday and there was already a line forming outside shop. Highly recommend coming at least 20 min before opening to get a table inside. Staff friendly and food came out quick and warm! read more

Glad I came here on a weekday because it was only a 20 minute wait and ended up being mediocre. I would never wait hours in line just to eat brunch as mentioned by some of these other yelpers on the weekends. The service is a bit slow. I literally had to ask them if I could order. I liked the lemon ricotta pancakes and the lemon sauce was good however as for the French toast. It was so bland. They don't know how to make it here. It wasn't yummy at all. Also, got the prosciutto and Gruyere sandwich. They should put more prosciutto to the sandwich and more frisee as well. The potatoes were OK. As for the biscuit, it wasn't as soft as I hoped for like the outside of it was pretty hard, but I did like the honey butter. Also, it's a small restaurant with only one bathroom and super out of the way in the city. read more

I don't like breakfast potatoes. However, these might be the best breakfast potatoes I ever had. I like how they have a mix of big and smaller crispier pieces. I'm pretty sure they're deep fried because these were very decadent (you should try dipping them in syrup). The fluffy pancake was so-so. If you're a big lemon person you might love it. For me, I prefer very flaky pancakes. Eggs were cooked great and bacon more on the crispier side. The chicken burger/sandwich was amazing. The fried chicken was more "karaage" style. I think they might use rice or tapioca flour because it was very aery. I think I would get that next time over the plow breakfast but both were good. Wait was pretty long but dog friendly. Service was good too. Definitely expect to wait 30 min to 2 hrs. Enjoy some coffee nearby (Farley's, Linea's). read more

I had a wonderful Monday morning at Plow. It's quaint and a very humble restaurant. It's bright inside and doesn't feel overly squishy. We were seated immediately at the counter and got our food within the next 15-20 min.Their breakfast is pretty yummy, nothing too crazy I'd say. I just found my pork a bit too dry for my liking. Everything is homemade for sure, down to the hot sauce. Overall it was a wonderful experience, I will be back. read more

Plow - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - San Francisco, California

Our friends who live in SF brought us here and they played it like pros. They drove over early, put our name down, scooped us up from the hotel, and timed it so we walked back just as our table was ready. That's the move because a table for 4 at 10:35am on a Sunday meant a solid hour and a half wait. Rookie mistake if you don't plan ahead. One of my friends went to Berkeley and used to come here nearly 10 years ago. She swears it was great back then and somehow it's still just as good now which says everything. Spots like this don't usually keep that kind of consistency. We ordered the soft scramble, 2 fried egg sandwiches, and an eggs Benedict. Everything hit. The potatoes were exactly how brunch potatoes should be: crispy on the outside, tender inside, and well seasoned. My soft scramble with goat cheese and shiitake mushrooms was rich without being heavy. If you can outsmart the wait, it's absolutely worth it. Just don't show up hungry and clueless, have a game plan. read more

After seeing raving reviews for months, I finally decided to try Plow. I ended up ordering over the phone, which was quick, and my food was ready within 20 minutes. The space itself was packed, even for a Thursday morning, and parking can definitely be more challenging. The food was great overall. I got the buttermilk biscuit, the lemon ricotta pancakes, and the Plow potatoes. The buttermilk biscuit was slightly sweet and came with a honey butter that was fabulous. I loved the potatoes as well--they were well done and had a nice rosemary flavor. The pancakes were just alright; they were dense and had chunks of ricotta in them, which I haven't experienced with lemon ricotta pancakes before. I did really enjoy the lemon sauce that came with them. I'm going with 4 stars just because I wasn't a fan of the chunks of ricotta in the pancakes and because it was definitely on the pricier side (almost $40 for the three items, two of which were sides). I'd be down to try this at Plow and see how it is hot and fresh, but I won't be back for a while. A little overhyped. read more

It's rare to have a weekday breakfast out. It generally means that it's a holiday or I'm playing hooky. In this case, it was the latter as a friend joined me in attending the Warriors' season ticketholder event that was being held later this morning at Chase Center. My friend chose to come here from three places that I suggested. I'd heard of Plow but didn't know much about the background and menu. Arriving a little after 9 am on a Thursday, there was no line but only one available table against the far wall besides seats on the counter. We chose the table and quickly studied the menu. As we discussed it, we agreed to order two different things and share them family style. We started with The Plow (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=24&select=PXN8aTwQLjc671bS2C0xaA), sunnyside eggs and house-made pork sausage patties; comes with Plow potatoes + buttered toast. There is no shortage of variety here but my friend and I agreed the Plow potatoes were the star of this plate. Everything else was good but this was perfectly seasoned with some character without being dry. Everything else was cooked as ordered and, being a generous plate, I brought my toast home given the portions. We also shared the crab scramble (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=24&select=d-FJLTLSA-NJZtkwoeHjDg); described as three eggs, dungeness + rock crab, scallions, house creme fraiche, Plow potatoes + toast. This sounded interesting with the high end ingredients being the attention grabber. This was good but the protein didn't shine as the scramble was on the bland side. I didn't want to detract from the crab by pouring hot sauce. My friend had coffee while I just had the table provided water for our meal. Service was efficient with our glass and cup being respectively filled. I was given a small box for my unfinished pancake and toast. The dining room stayed full throughout with a few seats open on the counter. There was a small line and more people walking towards the restaurant as we left. The outdoor dining area wax also pretty much full too. read more

My absolute favorite brunch spot in SF. The wait is definitely worth it, but a trick is to put your name down, and the waiter will lyk when to return! So you can spend time doing something else during the 1-2hr wait. I typically put my name down around 10am, and I'll be seated by 11:30am. Parking is very easy to find in the neighborhood. The plow is a must order for first timers given you get to try a bit of everything. The pancake is fluffy. I love their potatoes, it's the best part of the meal. I also enjoyed their egg sandwich which is cheaper, and also fills you up with all the potatoes on the side. They have seats inside and outside, you can request your preference when you're putting your name down. Service is excellent. Vibe is perfect for a friends gathering. read more

Located in Portrero Hill, Plow is a great option for brunch...if you're willing to wake up early to get on the waitlist! Luckily, some friends of mine live in the neighborhood and put our names down at around 8:30 am. We ended up eating brunch at 11:45. We were seated outside, and the restaurant gave us some blankets to use while we ate, since it was a little chilly out. The staff were very nice and patient, and they answered all our questions about the menu. One person in our party has dietary restrictions, and the person who was taking care of our table made sure to explain all the dishes that would work with my friend's restrictions, as well as potential substitutions my friend could make. One of my friends and I split the eggs Benedict and the French toast. Both were delicious! The potatoes that came with the eggs were crispy and cooked well. The caramelized apples on top of the French toast were delicious and warm. The Plow was also a solid option and very filling. This was a great experience, and the neighborhood was super cute and quiet, too! Lots of great looking restaurants, cafes, and bookstores. Highly recommend! read more

YUM! I love breakfast at Plow. It's definitely less busy on weekdays, but you should still expect a wait. This place is that good. Small, cute little restaurant tucked away in Potrero Hill. Just a heads up if you're walking, it's up a STEEP hill. There are a few tables inside with some counter seating, plus outdoor tables if you luck out with a warm day. I've been twice and ordered The Plow Breakfast both times. It comes with two eggs, two lemon ricotta pancakes, Plow potatoes, and your choice of meat. I love the variety. The pancakes are little pillows of heaven and the potatoes are amazing. Safe to say I'll be back again and again. Plow never disappoints! read more

**3.5 stars** Waited a little more than an hour, checking in around 9:45am. Took a stroll and got coffee at Linea while waiting. The food came out relatively quick. I got the plow, sub potatoes with salad since I was able to try the potatoes from my partners plate. The biscuit was probably the best thing there! The salad and eggs was great. I was looking forward to the pancakes but I thought they were overhyped. The house made pork sausages had good flavor though.their OJ was solid as well. The price is a bit steep for breakfast I'm not sure if I would wait again for this place but im glad I got to try it while I was in the area. read more

after hearing about plow for so long, I can confirm it lives up to the hype! my sister and I went in on saturday morning at 8:30 and waited around 20 minutes. everybody was also so friendly, including the hostess. the location in potrero hill is so charming and there are plenty of coffee shops to go if you have a long wait. my sister and I both ordered coffee and the plow- which I think is the best option since it comes with lemon ricotta pancakes, eggs, choice of meat (I loved the pork sausage), and potatoes so you get to try everything. we loved the potatoes which had those crispy bits and were even better with their hot sauce. the pancakes are also so special- the ricotta makes it so moist and the tart lemon curd goes amazing with it. I'm already craving going back again to have a big breakfast, and to try some of their other drinks like the juices! plow is certainly worth the wait and I will definitely be back soon. read more

It may seem crazy to wait so long for a meal in SF, but there's that something special about Plow. No matter how long they tell you the wait is, be prepared to add another 30+ minutes. It is so worth it though. The staff make this place truly special. My favorite thing to do is sitting at the counter, watch the open kitchen action, and meeting fellow diners who also appreciate Plow as much as I do. You can't go wrong with the Plow, which is a little of everything, including the lemon ricotta pancakes. The French toast is so decadent that you will need to share it. And if you love biscuits and gravy, don't pass this one up. Remember breakfast is the most important meal of the day! read more

We ordered The Plow and the Fried Egg Sandwich, and both were excellent! The fried egg sandwich was especially delicious -- the bacon really took it to the next level. I'm personally not a big fan of sausage with a slightly sweet flavor, so I preferred the bacon, which was incredible -- thick, smoky, and perfectly cooked. The potatoes were sooooo good and cooked perfectly. The rosemary on top added the best finishing touch -- truly to die for. Service was quick, and we were seated right away as a party of two. Larger groups were waiting outside, so if you're coming with a big group, I'd definitely recommend arriving right at opening or early. Overall, such a great experience! I'll absolutely be back. read more

Girls day with some friends on a Sunday. We got the buttermilk biscuit with honey butter for $7.25 that was addicting! The crunch was so satisfying! 30 minutes for this to arrive after ordering. - I got the soft scramble: three eggs, stinging nettles, shiitake mushrooms, goat cheese, plow potatoes + buttered toast. I got mine without the goat cheese for $22.75. - One friend got the lamb tostadas: braised lamb shoulder, Rancho Gordo midnight beans, avocado, little gems, sour cream, pickled onions, queso fresco, cilantro for $26. - my other friend got the plow: two eggs, two lemon ricotta pancakes + plow potatoes, choice of house made pork sausage patties, bacon, or chicken apple sausage links for $26. My first time here and everything was super delicious! The wait can be long - waited over an hour and our check out process was long as well. The food is worth the wait but make sure you're not in a rush to be anywhere! I would love to try the lamb tostadas, the lemon ricotta pancakes, the plow potatoes and the buttermilk biscuit next time as each bite I had was tasty! read more

Put our names down around noon on a Sunday and my party of 3 was quoted around a 2 hour wait. Ended up waiting around 2 hrs 15 mins. Indoor and outdoor seating both available. I got The Plow and chose poached eggs and chicken apple sausage links. My favorite part was the plow potatoes! They were cooked well and had a nice crispiness to them. Lemon ricotta pancakes were pretty good too - a bit on the doughy side for my personal preference but I liked the mini size that came with The Plow. Poached eggs had a bit of a weird rubbery texture, and chicken apple sausage links were a bit too sweet for my liking. Overall I felt like I wasn't super wow-ed by anything in particular and especially given the long wait, I'm not sure if I'd return unless short wait. Service was great though and everyone was friendly! read more

More recently I look for places that can accommodate a dog so when I was looking for "great breakfast places in SF with a dog and Gluten-Free pancakes" this was at the top of the list. After reading some of the reviews I decided to make it our destination. There is outdoor seating and they had a little pad for you to sit on and they provided little blankets, which is very welcome during these cold days of December! Tables are spaced out nicely so if you're furry friend is on the bigger side they can maneuver around with you comfortably. There was also a clean community water bowl for your pup. First of all it is definitely a dog-loving neighborhood so expect a lot of doggies walking by while you eat. I probably wouldn't recommend it if you have a reactive dog (even a little bit) but if your pup can behave himself through a meal it should be no problem. Second, it really is pretty popular and there was already a good number of people outside waiting when we arrived Saturday morning around 10am so I really liked that their host table was right outside the entrance, making it very easy to check in. I didn't go inside so I don't know how the seating arrangement was inside but I imagine it is kind of small, snug, and homey. My child did use the restroom, though, and he said it was very nice and clean. They also have a nice seating area while you wait for your table. We only waited for about 30 minutes for our table. This might seem really long for some people but I've been to some very popular breakfast/brunch places where the wait could be over an hour and a half so 30 minutes is not crazy. Lastly, the food.... the FOOD! It was so good! My eyes were on "The Plow" because I really wanted to try their pancakes but I didn't want just pancakes! Although the lemon ricotta pancakes were not Gluten-Free we were allowed to sub for the Gluten-Free ones! So it made my choice much easier. The potatoes really had a nice crisp to them and were nothing like any potatoes I've had at other restaurants. It paired extremely well with the eggs and pancakes. The scrambled eggs were made exactly right to our liking - I told her "scrambled and not runny" and they came out fluffy and not overcooked. The Gluten-Free pancakes were also delicious! They were very tasty with some butter and syrup. This location is actually really nice! If you've got a long wait for your table there is a nice little bookstore a few steps away or a coffee shop or a dessert shop where you could go kill some time while you wait. Ok, so I could see parking being a pain in the butt maybe you can just Uber/Lyft it! I will definitely return with my dog and child again! read more

I now understand why the wait is always so long! I came here on a Sunday for brunch with a friend and wow the line was long- took around 45 minutes of waiting (we decided to walk around and make ourselves hungrier). The tables are very close together so don't plan on having very secret or sensitive conversations. I got the Plow- some eggs, lemon ricotta pancakes, potatoes, and house made pork sausage. And WOW the food was excellent. The lemon ricotta pancakes were light and delightful. I could eat an entire plate of them. And the sausages was tasty too- just wish they had a tad more of a spicy kick! Oh and the potatoes- exceptional. I stole some from my friend after eating all of mine. Will come here again, although maybe earlier in the morning read more

Coming to Plow for a Wednesday brunch probably ranks somewhere in my list of best decisions ever. At 11 AM, my friend and I had plentiful immediate seating choices, opting for a table on their trim streetside patio. Our server was attentive, helpful with choosing dishes, and maintained an enviable sense of style. Food came out within 20 minutes. The Plow: A traditional breakfast plate, featuring pillowy lemon pancakes studded with chunks of ricotta and potatoes that will ruin every potato for you ever again. Fried to a gloriously crisp and airy perfection and embraced by the comforting flavors of onion and rosemary, these are not "marry-me potatoes" but rather "I'll pack up and leave for these potatoes". Lamb Tostada: My new favorite lamb dish - a heaping pile of succulent lamb shoulder, with all the typical gaminess braised out completely. There is something to be said about the black beans that smother each chip, which are mashed to the perfect mouth-coating consistency and just a bit sweet, complementing the fresh vegetables and savory lamb. Must try! read more

Plow was on the top of my list for breakfast during my visit. I was seated with no wait on a weekday at 8am, plus their outside seating is very calm and cozy compared to the cramped, bustling inside. The surrounding neighborhood is super cute. I decided on the Plow which lets you try some of everything: 2 eggs, potatoes, meat of choice, and 2 lemon ricotta pancakes. Their signature breakfast potatoes were crispy to the point of shattering, so delicious. I opted for the house-made breakfast sausage which was very meaty with Italian seasonings. I loved the fluffiness of the ricotta pancakes, but I was expecting the lemon sauce to come on top. It was still very good with maple syrup. It is a ton of food though, I tried to finish most of it and just had some potatoes left over. I can tell why this is one of the most popular breakfast spots in SF. Will definitely be back next time I visit! read more

Plow is one of my favorite places to bring friends visiting SF! The wait can range from 45 min - 1 hour, so I would first put my name down and explore the Potrero area. Outdoor or indoor you get great service, but I particularly like sitting at the counter space inside where you can watch them cooking the food while chatting with friends! I highly recommend getting the plow platter because you get the best items on the menu! The potatoes here are my favorite brunch potatoes -- fry is super crispy on the outside compared to typical potato wedges. I also recommend the homemade pork sausages. The lemon ricotta pancakes are super special where it's not too sweet and very light/fluffy. This time I got the seasonal pumpkin pancakes. I liked the spice, but I wish there was more pumpkin or pumpkin spice flavor in the pancakes themselves. If you are choosing between the two, I would go for the lemon ricotta read more

Perched high in portrero hill, Plow always guarantees two things: delicious brunch & a line. Worry not though, because the wait is so worth it (try to come early if it's the weekend.) I recommend ordering The Plow since it gets you a little bit of everything from sweet to savory. Everything from the lemon ricotta pancakes to the crispy potatoes to the homemade pork sausage is perfection. The warm biscuit and seasonal pumpkin pancakes are also such treats. Guess you could say I would ~plow~ my way thru anything to eat their delicious food! read more

Eat at Plow! This restaurant is very busy every day of the week so make sure to put your name on the list. Once the host calls your name, the service from start to finish is amazing. They pay attention to every detail, including filling up your water glass. While taking a look at the menu, make sure you order their famous house made buttermilk biscuits with honey butter, it's the best biscuit I have had in the bay. The two egg brekkie, the house made sausage and the soft scramble was delicious and made with love. I can't wait to go back to try the other items on the menu. This restaurant is small but bright with lots of windows and lots of chatter so bring your appetite and enjoy the company! read more

My favorite breakfast in SF... and apparently everyone else's judging by the lines. I always get the Plow or the 2 egg (basically the same but with toast v pancakes) and it's just the perfect plate. The Plow comes with 2 eggs your style, choice of meat (I love their chicken sausage), potatoes, and the lemon ricotta pancakes. It's literally the perfect breakfast plate and so satisfying. Every component is individually delicious and the mix of it all together is heavenly. read more

After dropping our daughter and her boyfriend off at the airport early in the morning, we were on the hunt for a great breakfast spot. Thanks to Yelp and all the amazing reviews, we decided to try Plow--and it did not disappoint. There was about a 25-30 minute wait, but it went by quickly and was well worth it. The biscuit was absolutely delicious, and the portions are generous. We decided to share a plate, which ended up being the perfect amount for us. The service and atmosphere were both wonderful, making the whole experience even better. This is definitely a place we'll be coming back to whenever we're in the city read more
