I started coming to this restaurant when it first opened (around 1990) because of the muffin tops, menu selections, complimentary mini size bakery basket and food quality being consistently good. When the area developed (high rise apartments and Oracle Park) parking became insane. The restaurant and area lost its charm, so I stopped coming. So when I happened to be in this neighborhood, I decided to try the restaurant and see what changes were made. The only difference inside of the restaurant is that the bakery area is now replaced with a bar. The small pastry display looked pitiful. The pastries didn't look appealing - muffins were below the cup line topped with sugar sprinkles and the slices of cake look like it was just sitting there. Other than that, the decor looked the same. I was greeted by a friendly server and sat at a table with complete views of the bay. Food was served temperature hot with a smile. Server came frequent to see how I was doing and if I needed anything. The Dubai chocolate pancake was absolutely delcious. It looks awfully sweet but it wasn't. The pancakes were fluffy with nice brown bottoms. Presentation was awesome. I definitely would order this again. The chicken fried steak was good but needed more gravy. The server bought me a bowl of gravy and once I had that, it was more delicious. The gravy was homemade, creamy with bits of sausage. The over easy eggs were cooked perfectly - not too runny nor hard. The hash browns were the best I had for a long time - it wasn't greasy and was crispy as I like it (I did ask for crispy hash browns) - not overcooked or dry. The muffin was too floury and dense for me. It was not what I remembered it to be - fluffy, soft insides with a semi crispy outside. Overall, if you are in this neighborhood, give the restaurant a try. The food is just as good as I remembered it 15 plus years ago but I would definitely would not recommend the bakery goods. read more

Townsend is one of my few go-to's. They have a reliable brunch with great options. Everyone I take here loves it; every dish is great. The food always comes out quickly, and the servers are on their A-game. There are a lot of tables inside and a few outside. The theme is the Giants. Cool spot read more

Very nice staff! I was curious about the soup of the day and my server hooked me up with a small portion to try. The food was great and the other patrons were nice and we made first pitch with plenty of time. read more

Great small local brunch spot! Never heard of it but stopped by after a 5k run. Had to wait about 30-40 minutes on a weekend but not bad cause the area is great for waiting if the weather is nice. The portions are HUGE and I got the chicken fried steak. It was SO SO SO delicious and tender, typically I only eat about half of brunch plates but I ate the whole thing. The hash browns were also very delicious. Prices aren't bad either! I need to come back again. read more

Food was ok, the hollandaise on my eggs Benedict was cold and congealed-very disappointing. Hashbrowns were completely burnt on the bottom so I was only able to scrape off the top layer. The bacon was chopped up into tiny pieces making a very chewy consistency, I prefer crispy. Service was ok, but it was so loud in the restaurant. Waitress asked if I wanted a 2nd mimosa, I said no thank you and she brought one anyway. Very convenient location before the game. Probably won't be back. read more

Town's End Brunch - Eggs Benedict with bacon and avocado - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - San Francisco, California

Way to ruin Mother's Day! I had made a reservation on April 17 on Yelp. Got the confirmation days before. When we get there, we weren't on the list. The host said that they had gotten rid of Yelp reservations weeks ago (I was able to check it a week ago so that's a lie). Nobody told me the reservation was cancelled. The guy said he would put us on the waitlist and get us in in about 10-15. We also changed from 4 to 5 (my brother surprised us) and I was told they would accommodate since they messed up the reservation. I saw him put 5 down on the tablet and got the confirmation text. Fast forward to 30 min later and they say they're clearing a table for us. 15 min after that I go up and ask what's going on. At this point it's 11:45 (our original reservation is was 11) and they're saying a few more minutes. They finally say our table is ready...it's for 4. I remind them it's for 5 and ask why we can't sit at the table that fits 5. They say it's because they have a reservation for 6. THATS HILARIOUS BECAUSE I HAD A RESERVATION FOR 11 AND APPARENTLY WE DIDNT MATTER. I will never come here again and I will be sure to tell all my friends and family to never come here. They didn't even care that I had prepared almost a month in advance and it is Mother's Day! What horrible people and service. read more

Basic breakfast spot with a beautiful location. My husband ordered food and I just wanted a coffee while sitting outside enjoying the nice weather, view and crisp air. Waitress said the cappuccino was very good, so I ordered one thinking let's keep this morning simple. The coffee was not only awful but cold. Big disappointment didn't even have the energy to complain or ask for another one. read more

Came here on a Saturday morning before a day in SF. Got to sit outside where they have a few outdoor tables. The service was great and the food was solid. Got an omelette plate and it was tasty.

Wow!! How did i not know this place was here. I can't tell you how many times I've walked pass this place when having my daily morning walk along the Embarcadero.

I got your traditional breakfast and my husband went for something healthy. Everything was delicious and I look forward to coming back and trying their lunch. read more

Went to this place on our morning city stroll. Love the location! Very neat place. We were seated immediately and it was busy. Loved early morning giggle and chatters and the customers. There is a fresh juice bar with veggies and fruits meaning their juice is truly fresh squeezed. Our server was awesome. My husband and I were speaking in our manager and she picked on a few words. A very friendly person and awesome hostess. Kept checking on us. The food was yummy and portions are big. I couldn't finish my breakfast. It was a very welcoming and friendly environment. Planning to take my kids here soon. read more

Came here for brunch before a Giants game with a pretty big group. The service was speedy, and I really appreciate that they bring out everyone's food around the same time. I got the montecristo waffle and a mango mimosa. The food was alright, in line with your typical diner food. The chicken and potatoes were blander than I had hoped, and the jam really didn't help the dish and was kinda just thrown on in a big glob - I would ask for no jam if I got this again. Overall a solid spot if you're trying to eat before the game, but I wouldn't really recommend it otherwise. read more

Date: Sunday, June 8th, 2025 Time: 10am Party of: 3 Meal: Breakfast / Brunch Reservation Made: via Yelp about 2.5 weeks prior *GLS Sparkling Wine ($10) x2 *Granola & Yogurt ($12) *Side Bacon ($5) *Ale Battered Fish And Chips ($18) *Chicken Cobb Salad ($18) The hubby and I were going to a Giants game with a friend of mine. We wanted to make it for the promo item, so we decided to meet up for brunch first. We got here right on time and waited about 5 mins for our table. I wanted some veg, so got the salad. It had a good amount of toppings, tho I did ask for them to put the blue cheese on the side and they did not. I didn't mind, but I was sharing the salad with the hubs and he doesn't like blue cheese. That was the only bummer. Otherwise they gave it to me with ranch on the side like I asked. Close enough to the park to have a meal and walk over. REVIEW #3785 read more

My party and I were seated quickly. Service took alittle longer than usual due to a large work lunch party taking place. Menu is large and even has options for vegetarians.

Went for a sunday brunch. I got the orange juice, which was definitely freshly squeezed and husband got the peruvian latte, which was also amazing. I got the combo for breakfast with waffle. The waffle was way too salty for my taste but everything else was quite good. Husband got crab cake benedict, which he enjoyed a lot but didn't like the house potatoes as much coz they were very unevenly good. Overall a good experience with some flaws. read more

Made a reservation on Yelp 2 months ago and the host said he couldn't find it. It was Mother's Day so finding another brunch spot was impossible. The host said they no longer use Yelp yet I was never informed there was an issue with my reservation. Very disappointing! This was entirely their fault and let my party of 6 walk away. read more

Little did I know this was gonna be one of the best acai bowls in the city! There ample amount of fruits granola and peanut butter and the acai was not blended with other additives just to stretch it out. And the whole thing was around $12! Which is such a steal! Veggie omelette was also solid, well salted and over flowing delicious cooked veggies! Service took a while but it was a Saturday morning so you're not expecting it to be fast. It's right next to Embarcadero, beautiful location. Good amount of seating inside too! read more

This is the place to grab brunch before a day San Francisco Giants baseball game at Oracle Park. Inside is a shrine of bobble heads of the San Francisco Giants , San Francisco Forty Niners, and the Golden State Warriors (originally San Francisco Warriors). There is also a juice bar along with an alcohol menu with alcoholic coffee cocktails , beer, sangria, and wines. I had to get the fish and chips. The fish was fresh and lightly battered and the fries were crispy. I also had the breakfast with golden hash browns which was tasty with bacon, biscuits, and eggs. Just because Pier 38 is across the street does not mean it's next to Pier 39 ( over a 2 mile distance) which I heard stories about tourists in SF making that mistake( Dodger fans usually). A good brunch spot for any and all seasons including the Holiday season. Come for the brunch which is a combination of a breakfast with a lunch blend It's not on Townsend street but it's close and it's called Town's End read more

I found this place on Yelp while looking for a good breakfast spot, and I'm so glad I did! We walked in and were immediately greeted and seated. It was very clean inside and had a cute sf sports vibe. The waitress and staff were very friendly and welcoming. I ordered the South of the Border Skillet and OMG it was so delicious. My boyfriend got the cheeseburger and was really impressed as well. We'll most definitely be coming back! read more

Town's End went through a couple of iterations after Mary, but the current version has landed squarely in the spot of what was needed in this South Beach neighborhood. You can go healthy, you can go ridiculously over the top with the Warrior special, the choice is yours. Great, comfortable versions of many favorites and it is just a really cool spot with fantastic tables on the sidewalk with Bay views. Service is like your friend, and they have the best orange juice in town! read more

Had a great breakfast with a college buddy at Town's End Brunch before we went to a Giants game. I did not know about this place even though I had worked up the street many, many moons ago. My loss. I had the Denver omelette and it was quite good. I was starving and needed to pack on the protein and carbs for what turned out to be a hot day in the City. Add to that lots of black coffee--our server kept my cup full--and I was ready for some baseball. My buddy had the Corned Beef Hash and I know I will have that the next time I am there. Man, it looked good. The joint was packed with Giants fans, but the servers stayed on their toes. It definitely a spot I would go to again. Picture time. read more

Unfortunately, our experience at Town's End left a bad taste in our mouths--and not because of the food. The first issue began when we asked a simple question about the crab cakes. Two different employees had given us conflicting answers about whether the crab was real or imitation, so a guest took it upon themselves to ask for clarification from the chef. Rather than responding with understanding or professionalism, our waitress appeared visibly annoyed by the situation. Her demeanor shifted noticeably, and the energy at the table became tense. Later, as one of our guests politely tried to get her attention by saying, "Excuse me, miss, may I ask you a question?", she audibly sighed and muttered "Oh god" under her breath as she turned around. That kind of response is completely unacceptable in a service setting. To top it off, even though we had a reservation for 1:15 PM and arrived early, the restaurant turned off the lights while we were still at our table gathering our things; it was only a little after their 2pm closing time. It felt like we were being rushed out rather than thanked for our business. As for the food--it was just okay. My own dish was bland, but other plates and drinks were said to be decent. Still, the quality of service completely overshadowed any positives. We won't be returning. Dining out should feel welcoming, not like you're a burden. Town's End missed the mark. read more

I'm a sucker for chilaquiles, but these were not hitting the spot. The eggs were good but the sauce they use and the tortilla chips just didn't do it for me. The mimosas were great and well priced. Our server was friendly and I would come back and try something else to see if this was just not what they're known for. read more

Town's End Brunch - Denver scramble with english muffin and a mimosa - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - San Francisco, California

I wish I could do three and a half stars. This place is a classic neighborhood breakfast spot that I've enjoyed since moving here a year and a half ago. The menu has a great variety, with something for everyone, from hearty breakfast staples to lighter options. The food is consistently good, and the staff is always friendly. That said, the place is often understaffed, which can make the experience a bit frustrating during busy times. I'd recommend avoiding Giants game days--it gets pretty hectic, and the service can really slow down. I love that it's a walkable spot in the neighborhood, and they do offer outdoor seating, which is nice on sunny days. However, I was disappointed to learn on my last visit (about three weeks ago) that they no longer allow dogs inside. While I understand the policy change, it's a bummer since it was one of the reasons we loved coming here with our pup. All in all, it's a good local spot with potential to be even better if they had more staff to keep up with demand. I'll still come back, just not on a game day and only when I'm prepared for a potentially slower experience. read more

A great place to start the morning quick , effective and friendly service (that use Yelp Waitlist!) Decent prices and a good selection of delicious food. They even bake their now family recipe pastry and cakes. I had an orange coconut pound cake it was so good. We decided on an avocado toast and all was just perfect crispy bread and back on pieces with a nice avocado mouse topped by a perfectly cooled poached egg. Their pancakes are good as well one of the best restaurant pancakes I had in a long time. I recommend this restaurants for sure and will be back. read more

Solid brunch spot in a quaint and quiet part of town! The menu is EXTENSIVE and I will definitely be back to try all the other dishes. Personally, my country fried steak was delicious. The steak was super crispy and paired with a smooth and luxurious gravy. The hash browns were nice and crispy. Biscuit was super warm, buttery and pair amazing with the strawberry jalapeño jam they provided. All around solid food! The service was fairly decent. We had to flag a waiter down to take our order after being seated for a good while, but after that they were super attentive about coming by to see if we needed anything. There's definitely a small business feel to this establishment -- which I really appreciate! read more

Hadn't been here in a while, but definitely took a downward turn. Service was lax; no real special attention paid to table. The small muffins that were given out at the beginning of each meal apparently are gone and to be honest all three plates were lacking any special taste or originality. Too bad- Won't go back here again. read more
