From the moment I walked in the service was exceptional and the ambiance is amazing. Brittany was fantastic and offered suggestions that were on point. The corn beef hash was the best that I have had in a restaurant ever and I will travel back here to visit and come back to eat here. Great breakfast place if you live or are visiting the area this is a must visit! read more

Simce 2020 they have been extracting as much money from their loyal customers as possible. That was BEFORE inflation. Now that inflation is here it just cost me $48 for 4 eggs, bacon, sausage, hash browns. If the food wasn't DISGUSTING I would still return. I have been a customer here for so long and the only thing left here of value is a seat. They spent half a decade buying worse and worse ingredients so they could push their profits up. How on earth they stay in business I will never know. Get out of West Portal. Please leave and let a restaurant that doesn't hate it's customers serve us. This restaurants food is genuinely garbage now and the prices have become insulting. read more

Toast Eatery is conveniently located on West Portal in San Francisco, but parking can be a challenge. I lucked out and found a metered parking space a few doors down from the restaurant. There was no wait and we were seated at a table near the front. This was the busiest I've ever seen them. They did their best to seat people, take orders, deliver food and beverages, and check in on patrons. The food we ordered was just okay today. Our meals were a bit bland. The portions are very generous. Maybe it was an off day due to the number of customers. I might give them another try. Prices are on par with other breakfast spots in SF of this caliber. It was extremely loud today, which made for a less than pleasant experience. read more

Toast is a pretty great neighborhood dinner, a bit on the pricey side but nonetheless a solid place to eat. It's clean and in beautiful sunny west portal. You'll definitely enjoy your visit and breakfast here. read more

My go-to breakfast and brunch spot in West Portal. I love the old-school neighborhood diner feel of Toast. The food is homey, unpretentious, and consistent. The service is friendly, prompt, and welcoming. I've never been disappointed with Toast and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a chill, cozy place to have breakfast/brunch in the neighborhood. read more

I want to emphasize that the service was great. We weren't ignored and the hostess got us seated promptly and was very sweet. Unfortunately as for cleanliness, off the bat our bottle for water had mold on the rim. Photo included of what we wiped off. The quality of the food was fine but there was excess grease leaving pools on the plate where the fries were. I do think if a restaurant is going to charge extra for ranch that it should be pretty high quality but I am pretty sure it was the Heinz ranch that gets served in cafeterias. Additionally under the table we were sat in front of, there were a ton of exposed wires and what seemed to be a taped in outlet which i think just really brought down the value of the experience. Very pricey for what the experience was. read more

Favorite breakfast spot at West Portal. Good breakfast food and their salmon salad is good too.

Breakfast here is good and we've been here many times over the years. Hubby has the chicken fried steak and I had the 2 eggs, Turkey bacon, hash brown and wheat toast. I asked the waitress to have the hash browns extra crispy. It didn't come extra crispy. I was disappointed. read more

Had a delightful breakfast brunch here a couple weeks ago. This place always delivers on flavor food. I had a wonderful croissant, French toast with berries and banana. The service is a bit slow, but they're always friendly here. My friends omelette and club sandwich also satisfying for them. This is a small place, but well lit and comfy. read more

Strolled over on a Sunday, though it was pretty busy, we were still about to get a table for 3 outdoors with a pup quickly. I saw chicken fried steak so I happiky got that. Portions were ok: chicken fried steak was a little smaller than I thought but tasted pretty good. Mom had chicken and waffle - same as mine, meat portions were small but the waffle was huge. Dad had salmon salad which he enjoyed. Total was about $25/person. read more

This brunch place has been in the West Portal neighborhood for at least 20+ years. I walked by here often but I have only eaten here twice. Both times not too impressed by the food. The coffee, omelette and hash brown are very good. But everything needed salt and pepper. I am not happy with my Eggs Florentine, they assemble it with raw spinach and by the time it gets to my table, the spinach is wilted and not appetizing. read more

Warning -- no syrup nor butter when you order food. Dry french toast for $16 and a dry waffle for $11. In total $40 with delivery fees for a breakfast without condiments... but with a price suggesting a real meal not a side dish! Photos online suggest syrup & butter too. Such a disappointment that I called them to understand and they confirmed-- they do not send anything at all with their $16 dry french toast nor $11 plain waffle. Eek. Go somewhere else. read more

We did pick up. We waited 15 minutes for our food. This spot was small but cozy. Very full which is accepted for Sunday morning. The waiter was very nice who took my order. I asked for breakfast burrito with sausage on side. He said that was fine. Unfortunately got home they cut into pieces in my burrito. I had to pick out but it was still good. French toast was very good and my husband got a BTL with avocado said was delicious. Try this spot when you are in west portal. Will definitely go back read more

Allow me to preface this with I'm not from San Francisco -- I just travel here a few times a year, so my knowledge of the scene here is limited. Hungry and looking for a breakfast burrito, I settled on Toast after looking here on Yelp and at the reviews on Doordash. I don't ask for much: a breakfast burrito that has a fresh, homemade tortilla, potatoes that are crispy, and the option to remove eggs (I'm picky about how my eggs are prepared -- it's a texture thing). Toast, I assumed, fit that bill based on what I read. For a close to $20 burrito, I was a little disappointed. The bacon was crispy, but the potatoes inside were almost indistinguishable and the tortilla tasted store bought. I might have been willing to overlook the tortilla, but the cheese wasn't even really melty and the rest of the ingredients, aside from the bacon, were just meh. Sadly this isn't my first disappointing experience burrito wise in San Francisco, so maybe I'm missing something here. I will say the addition of avocado was nice, though. The highlight for this meal was the side of hash browns that came with the burrito: crispy, salty, savory. Given this experience, maybe it's best to stick to more classic dishes from here (perhaps french toast). For now, however, I'm just gonna have to continue my hunt for a decent burrito in SF. read more

You know, back when restaurants first started to reopen after those initial COVID shutdowns, outdoor seating was pretty much criteria #1 and #1A whenever my friends would try to meet up to eat. The food itself mattered, of course, but the outdoor dining situation was far more important to us than how good the food would be. Which, if I'm being honest, was probably what attracted us most to Toast. With so many tables available, and West Portal's overall accessibility, it felt like such an convenient and easy place for us to meet up! While I can't say for sure how busy Toast would get prior to COVID, it definitely became one of the more popular destinations in West Portal thanks to their parklet (it feels a lot bigger than most). Although, considering this was their third location in the city (the one on Polk has since shuttered), perhaps they've always been popular and I'm just late to the game. As a whole, the menu is pretty much what you'd expect from an American brunch cafe - breakfast plates (scrambles, omelettes, pancakes, waffles, French toast, benedicts, etc.), soups, salads, burgers, and sandwiches. Individually, nothing really jumped off the page as being super unique, but collectively, it's a nice mix of classic staples to choose from. -- HOUSE MADE CORNED BEEF HASH - Fresh Corned Beef Hash, Two Eggs Any Style, Hash Browns, and Choice of Bread (English Muffin)...$18.50 (https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/toast-eatery-san-francisco-11?select=3fy0PDvF1SPIVFijBIb05w) Very, very...okay. The dish as a whole was decently tasty, the portion was larger than expected, and the hash had a good ratio of meat to potatoes. That said, I wish the corned beef was served in chunks instead of shredded (it was kind of dry) and the hash browns needed seasoning. -- TRIPLE DECKER CLUB - Turkey, Ham, Bacon, Cheddar, Lettuce, Tomatoes, and Mayonnaise on Choice of Bread (Sourdough)...$16.95 (https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/toast-eatery-san-francisco-11?select=gHc-HsrUWS7KU0ZtiD6fJw) For something as "basic" as a club sandwich, this was actually pretty solid. All three meats were cut thicker than I expected and I love that they have sourdough as a bread option (works so much better than white). The fries were nice and crispy as well, though I wish there had been more. Even though both dishes were satisfying enough, one aspect where they fell a bit short for me was in their overall value. While I try to avoid labeling places/dishes as "overpriced" (I assume they charge what they have to charge), what I will say about these two is that nothing about them makes me think it would be difficult to find something comparable (or better) for the same (or less) elsewhere. As for service, I agree with the uneven sentiments that others have expressed. One time, everything was perfectly fine. The other, one of the workers seemed really irritated from the start and got annoyed when we stopped him from trying to take away our friend's unfinished plate. Still, despite my mixed feelings about their service, I imagine there'll be more than a few occasions in the future where I'll find myself back at Toast. I may not have been overly impressed by any particular aspect of my experiences, but it's not like anything about them was problematic either. Plus, they have so many other benefits to offer - a wealth of outdoor seating, plentiful amounts of metered and non-metered parking nearby, and the lack of a wait for a table (the times I've been here, at least). I'd also by lying if I said I wasn't curious about a couple of their other dishes, albeit with much more tempered expectations. THREE AND A HALF STARS rounded down. read more

Ate late lunch today about 2 pm. Parking is street meters max of 2 hours. Cafe not crowded at 2 pm so we got seated immediately. Service was excellent for one waitress. Bagel with smoked salmon was very good, bagel was lightly toasted. Chicken steak was good, crisp, not a slice of beef but ground meat. Hash brown nicely brown and crisp. Eggs were good scrambled or any style. Choice of toast was wheat and toasted. Ambiance within restaurant was clean and bright. Very good place for breakfast. At this writing, 5 stars out of 5. read more

Just stopped by this place in west portal for som brunch with my fam. A huge plus here is they are pet friendly! I was able to bring my pup and sit outside, and there were 3 other groups who also had dogs with them. Sitting outside with the sun was very enjoyable! In terms of service, I had read some review prior so we made sure to be ready to order soon after being sat, and I am glad we did! Our waiter came to us once to take our order, to deliver our waters, and that was it until we asked for the bill. For the food, I ordered the croissant french toast, and I guess I was just a little surprised at how thin the french toast was, with it being not even .5 inch of a thickness. I think I will try other brunch places before coming back here. read more

Honestly, was looking for a nice quick, brunch but was disappointed. The food was mid, it was a super long wait to get our food, and the service was slow to nonexistent. You can pay on a QR code at the end so you don't have to wait for anyone which was convenient. The eggs benedict were overcooked, yolk not runny at all. Water not refilled at all after giving it to us initially, and it was a tiny glass. They seated us at a table for one but rotated it to squeeze three people even though there were some open tables. The hash browns were nice and crunchy but bland. The eggs benedict also bland and the english muffin was soggy and not toasted. Very underwhelming. read more

Had take away coffee. The flavors peaked our interest. My black coffee drinker fell in love with the churro latte. It was a bit awkward because we didn't know where to stand but the table by the door didn't have anyone seated there.. so we just hovered around that. read more

I would advise going here for the food and not the coffee. It is not worth the $7+ it costs.

Food was decent. Pancakes weren't as tender as other places but acceptable. The server has a serious case of apathy. I asked for a coffee refill and she just walked away with no acknowledgment. All the food was served as if she could be doing something different. Weirdest part was when I wanted to grab her attention for some things, instead of coming over to our table, she wanted me to shout across the restaurant for my request. It's odd to be yelling at her for more napkins and coffee. I felt bad for the other customers. read more

West Portal is now my neighborhood and has been for 1/2 a year. There is something lovely about it... like leave it to Beaver met #MeToo. Nestled in the heart is Toast. We have been twice and both times were yummy. We like yummy. Though the space is a little cold; tile floor, metal chairs, the staff are courteous and efficient. I enjoy watching the chefs hustle in the open kitchen. No bones Eggs Benny, Biscuits swimming in sausage gravy, and hash browns fresh of the grill - soft inside and crunchy outside - no matter what you choose the food is solid. It is a little pricey but I think I just need to adjust my expectations a little. Family friendly and delicious, anyone swinging through West Portal on a rainy day won't be disappointed by a pit stop brunch at Toast. Oddly enough, I have never actually had the toast. I'll give it go next time. read more

Honestly, this place is excellent. I don't know what these other people are complaining about, but the food, service, and ambiance are top-notch. I got the veggie omelet, and my wife got the hash brown hill. Generous portions and the hash browns were perfectly crispy. I went here today on a sunny day with my wife and dog, and everything was great. Glad I trusted my gut and gave this place a chance. read more

Toast Eatery is the most popular brunch spot on West Portal Ave. On the weekends, their little sidewalk parklet is packed. Today I had the Irish Breakfast $18.50, baked beans, black pudding, eggs, Irish bacon, sausage and tomato. Wait a minute, where's the traditional Irish soda bread and the mushrooms or potatoes? This dish is missing some key pieces making a incomplete Irish Breakfast. There weren't HP sauce either. Anyways, I left a bit hungry still. There weren't a lot of food in this dish. Service was fine. read more

We were extremely disappointed with our experience today. We have been going to the Noe Valley location for years and after today we won't be coming back. The staff seemed more concerned with take away orders than the customers in the restaurant. The bacon was burned so badly that we couldn't eat it. The hollandaise on the side was coagulated and cold. Both of our dishes came to us COLD... not mildly warm, not less than Hot, but actually cold. The service was attentive at first and then we were never checked on after we received our food and instead the waitstaff was sitting and eating at the bar (almost the entire staff at the same time). We highly encourage the owners to consider this feedback as I'm sure over time it will have an effect. read more

Doordashed Toast Combo. I'm speechless but not in a good way. This is the first time I got this order with the pancakes downsized to silver dollar sized pancakes. My chicken apple sausage was the smaller portion AND it is like 1.5 of a sausage. And the .5 of the sausage was further cut. St tleast at Joe's Broiler they use full size chicken apple sausage. I get that the cost of food is rising.....but keep the original size. Quality sucks. Hubby ordered basic bacon and eggs. That was fine. But 3 pieces of toast? All year except ONE time he's been getting 3 pieces of toast. The amount of money paid for your trash food is disappointing. We used to LOVE toast. No more. read more

Very good food, and very good Arnold Palmers. The service was okay, except the communication for payment, (being new to the restaurant), wasn't very clear. We ended up waiting for about an hour to get the check, (we were chatting and they seemed busy so we didn't mind), and asked them for it after that. They seemed to have forgotten, or maybe we were supposed to get it at the counter earlier. Either way, not super clear, but an okay experience overall. read more

This place has become one of our go-to's especially when we're in a rush for time before a busy work day. It's a great spot for a quick grab breakfast, although the menu prices for their good all American breakfast can be kind of inflated. We always know our go-to when we're here. Usually, I get the two eggs, with a side of meat, two slices of toast, some bacon, extra crispy hashbrowns, and a black coffee with some cream. I love the way they cook their scrambled eggs here because it's slightly runny and extra yolky soft. My partner sticks with the over easy eggs and the same order. It's interesting how important it is for everyone to have their eggs made and cooked just the way they like to start their morning! I'm glad Toast does that to the tee. Their overeasy eggs never disappoint. I love my potatoes and love that they can fry the hashbrowns to the crispy dark brown shade. Lovely! I love that the service was extremely fast at this place, always is. We can eat our breakfast within half hour and get started on our busy day. So if we are ever in the mood for a quick bite, we know Toast is the place to be with their extra dark blend coffee for that extra morning kick! read more

I ordered the omelette. It was plated like and tasted like a hospital cafeteria. Disappointed to say the least. Blueberry pancakes were much better than expected. I saw other tables had ordered burgers and they looked good. Service was ok but lacked friendliness or personal touch or an offer of water. I later ordered drip coffee to-go and wasn't offered milk or sugar and I asked for it but the cashier seemed to pretend not to hear me. We ordered coffee and tea and it came with the meal instead of earlier, which was a disappointment. Ambiance was pleasant. Bathroom was clean enough. I won't be back unless I had no other options. read more

I've gone here MULTIPLE times before, but it's usually on the weekend so I'm sure the service may be a little different depending on who is working. I went today on a rainy Tuesday and it wasn't so crowded. Two waitresses who I have never seen before were working and said we could sit anywhere. My boyfriend and I ended up grabbing our own menus because they seemed to be busy. We both ordered coffees, which were okay. I've had their lattes before and those were pretty good. We sat near the bar stools next to the kitchen and noticed that the waitresses weren't too attentive and had to wait a little longer. The food this time took a while to get to us and I could see my order (eggs florentine) sitting on the counter for about 10 minutes or so until it came out to us. My order was on the cold side and my boyfriend's omelette was warm but his hash browns were cold. You could tell things started to pick up and I noticed one waitress taking her break while the other one was running around a lot and you could tell she may have been overwhelmed with how she forgot our coffee refills. Service and food quality was definitely a bit of a let down today and not sure I'll be coming back. read more
