MISSION SMASH and CRISPY SHOESTRING FRIES
Lizzie S.

Large smash burgers and lush unique shakes. Pretty good happy hour in a chill, hipster setting. Good to watch sports at and people-watch. Fries were crispy. Would recommend the Mission smash burger. Not cheap, but good portions and tastes like good quality. Rich flavor. Would be back--service was efficient and friendly.

CLASSIC AMERICAN SMASH

Came for my brother's birthday and noticed it was happy hour. They have a dedicated menu with $6 drinks. My burger was delicious as always. I was loyal to their chips and guacamole, but I think they changed how they make the chips. They're a lot more thin than I remember them being. Overall everything was a great and looking forward to my next visit.

I'm a fan! Nice decorated space, hip and great menu especially for milkshakes. Happy hour is everyday! Yay! Milkshakes are decked out and really picture worthy! I had the sangria which was a good size in a tall wine glass, $6 at happy hour (everyday). Also tried a cookies and cream milkshake. Tastes good. You can choose to add a boozy dessert shot to your milkshakes for additional $6. I tried that and I liked it, to me it wasn't overpoweringly bitter like liquor sometimes can be in a dessert

I came in recently for breakfast because I liked the vibe, a hippy sort of tribute with a big peace sign at the entrance and art from musicians of the 60's. When I got inside I enjoyed the art and general aesthetic but the lighting was off; they have two extremely bright light beams jolting across the restaurant; someone needs to reposition those. It's glaring into the sitting area in a way that is distracting at best. The breakfast menu was underwhelming; I didn't see any options for a simple breakfast plate. Big items were the burrito and sandwich. Hoping they change those things because this has a lot of potential. Latte and bacon are great! Order at the bar, take a number, and food is brought to you.

Dropped by on a Friday night for the start of SF Restaraunt Week. Although they kind of state on the menu that these are smash burgers, they aren't. Nothing wrong with the burger, I got the Korean-style Smash and it was good. There was nothing distinctly Korean about it's flavor and the burger patty was not really smashed, but it was tasty and juicy, which is most important. The fries were super crispy and the milkshake was impressive. The milkshake looked so amazing that an old lady waiting for her food felt the need to comment on how I was eating it all without anyone to share it with... -___- hahaha Even with the unprovoked reminder of existential loneliness, I enjoyed the food at PLS on Post very much. The only real, relevant gripe is that even with the RW deal, the total with tip was ~$40 for a burger, fries and milkshake. But everything was pretty tasty and filling.

Mission Smash. Tasteless
Binh P.

Come here for the milkshakes! One of the best cookies and cream milkshakes I've had. Presentation was impeccable. The burgers could be reworked though. Got myself the "Mission Smash" and it was pretty tasteless. I was hoping to find a good guacamole burger in the city, but my search still continues. And for $17 for just a burger makes me even sadder.

CLASSIC AMERICAN SMASH with CRISPY SHOESTRING FRIES

Yummy smash burgers and fries! The burger was fresh, it had a sauce on it that was a bit sweeter than typical burger sauces, but I thought it actually complimented the sour pickles well. When I think of a smash burger, I think of crispy, lacey edges and a really thin patty, this wasn't that type of smash burger but some people prefer the not-so-smashed smash burgers. The fries were a good texture and they have homemade ketchup that's not too sweet. My cocktail which had Tito's, orange, and other similar flavors was definitely strong but still balanced, it paired well with the burger. Pretty expensive for burgers but it is a nice establishment and located next to an adjoining hotel lobby. The quality and freshness definitely came through and made it worth it.

Cookie and cream
Leticia S.

The fries were good but the cookies and cream shake was amazing. The service was ok. You have to order and pay before you can sit down. The ambiance was ok.

Was in the area to watch a play, located within Union Square and connected to Hotel Zeppelin is this really cool full bar with amazing smash burgers and milkshakes! For a Friday night it was nice coming in without having to wait, the staff were super friendly too! You order at the counter and they deliver your food. I got the spicy peppa smash with cheddar cheese and fries. My friend got the classic American smash burger with sweet potato fries. Our food came out so quickly and the burgers and fries were delicious!! The spicy peppa smash is pretty messy though but was SO good! A good amount of spice and quad and cheese, the cheddar cheese definitely melted and my burger fell apart but no problem, I got to use my fork and knife. They also serve milkshakes and have a full bar here. Great for hotel guests or people in the area. There's street parking and some parking garages around. But a nice spot to grab something quick and a nice smash burger!

Happy hour! I'm always in search of one and this place has it daily and also late night on weeknights (Thursday to Saturday) Came in for dessert only. They have amazing milkshakes. They're pricy ($16-20) but you can add alcohol and they are monstrous. Chock full of candy and toppings. Modern interior, walk up to order / pay and get a number and sit wherever you like. A bright place more diner-style than bar. Others seemed to enjoy their burgers / fries.

Funfetti Shake
Josh W.

You order when you walk in. Bartender was pleasant and efficient. We placed our order and sat down. A few minutes later they brought our food to our table: Classic American Smash burger (one well, one medium-well), side of shoestring fries, a chocolate shake, and a Funfetti shake. Everything was really good. The smash burgers were done just right, the toppings were nice and fresh. Burgers cooked to perfection. Fries were excellent, and the shakes were frosty perfection. Would definitely reorder.

I stayed at Hotel Zepplin and the convenience of PLS was unmatched. Had dinner and a delicious beer while waiting. Grabbed breakfast to go the next morning. The service was outstanding and the vibe was impeccable.

******************** 2 STARS FOR THE TERRIBLE MUSIC TRACk**********************…read more I recently went to Tyler Florence's other restaurant, Miller and Lux, and the food was good, but that location also had the worst music track playing. It was so dated in a bad way that it made the restaurant feel less. Wayfare Tavern must have the same management because I went to dinner here on 10/25/ 26, and while the restaurant has a cool vibe to it, and the food is good, the music distracts from the over all ambiance. Please change the music. Listening to cheesy Paul McCartney wings era, and other elevator 70's music isn't good. Hoping when I go back the music will change.

Ioved the complimentary popover and the fact that they give you one per person! It's super light for a starter bread and perfect dipped in the olive oil/butter combo. For my entree I got the pork chop which was served with baked beans cooked with bacon and onion and baked apples. It felt like a great fall dish, really cozy and warm but definitely on the heavier side and the pork and beans combo were a bit salty. We got the donuts to share for dessert and they were the perfect sweet treat to end the meal! Service was excellent and really quick to clear our dishes between each course (bread, app, entree and dessert). I appreciated the speed cause a lot of dinner spots tend to wait around and we were happy to finish dinner early after a long work day.

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.

The BBQ sauce helped with flavor but became over-bearingly sweet. The mashed potatoes were probably the best part. The potato salad was quite tasteless and overall not appetizing as per table opinion. Dinner roll was just alright. They had really cheap red wine that upset almost all of our stomachs. Cheap for a reason! As they were putting together my order the guy asked if I wanted a dinner roll which I thought came with the meal. Meal came out to $17 something instead of the $13 so I guess the dinner roll was extra... Wish that was prefaced but my fault for not looking closely at the menu. There is just so much going on in the shop it's easy to miss! I thought the vibes were super cool though. Overall: 2/5
