One of my family members who is local told us about this spot. I ordered the Mr Breakfast, which came with eggs, toast, hash browns, and meat (I chose chicken apple sausage since they didn't have turkey bacon). The eggs were the best part of the meal. The toast came soft and soggy. The hash browns were undercooked, especially since I asked for them to be made crispy when I ordered. The chicken apple sausage was way too sweet. The fish and chips my friend ordered were way better. The fish was crispy and seemed fresh. The salad that came with it was delicious. The tartar sauce on the side was amazing. The sign when we walked in said to wait for the hostess to seat us, but we were then told to take a seat anywhere we wanted. Our waitress never once came back to check on us or replace our water carafe. We had to flag her down anytime we needed anything. At the end, however, she was very friendly. We found out that her husband makes the delicious strawberry jalapeño jam that the restaurant serves. She was just busy serving all the tables and closing down the restaurant for the day, which was why she was less attentive in the beginning. The portions are huge here, so you can easily split a plate if you're not too hungry. The inside of the restaurant gives a classic diner feel, with a collection of bobble heads on display.
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.
Town's End is one of the best brunch spots in SF! All of the ingredients are incredibly fresh and the food has great quality. We had the chicken fried beef steak, sweet tooth pancake, and the Giants burger. Everything was delicious, the sweet tooth pancake was not too sweet and had great balance of taste and texture. The chicken fried steak was delicious and I understand why it's a favorite and a must try! The Giants burger was huge and so satisfying and the curly fries was delicious! You can enjoy your brunch with amazing views as well. Sam consistently provides top notch service every single time we visit. The care he puts in the restaurant is reflected in the quality of the food and the excellent service. We loved every single dish we ordered and will be back to try more! Thank you Sam for putting so much care, effort, and thoughtfulness for all of your customers!
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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. The hash browns were crispy and got sourdough toast for the combo. All the food was solid and the service was quick.
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
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.
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. My husband and I came here to try some breakfast and boy was it good. We sat outside since it was a beautiful day out. The service was great too. 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.
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.

This is a fun, kind of touristy restaurant right on Embarcadero. They have a wonderful juice bar. The breakfast plates are large and everyone enjoyedthem. I had the fruit and nuts acai bowl. So good. Two people had the breakfast sandwich and two, the Mr Breakfast plate. The servers and staff were friendly. read more

Brunch in the city without a line is rare. Luckily it's not that long of a wait at Town's End. If you want a delicious casual brunch, go here. They have lots of great egg dishes, pancakes, sandwiches and a fresh juice bar. It's a pretty hearty serving and don't skip their homemade jam. The hash browns are just the way I love them thin and crisp. Mmmmm! 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. Server was kind and kept making sure we had what we needed. Clean environment, cheerful atmosphere and kind service. Prices can be a bit steep but it is San Francisco. 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
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

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

I love the service here -- the staff were very friendly and checked in frequently. they were accommodating towards our big group, and also kept on refilling our waters. we enjoyed the peach and mango pitchers very much. I got the corned beef hash bowl -- my overeasy eggs were overcooked (the yolks were hard), the potatoes were a bit bland, and the biscuit was dry. but overall it was a big portion. maybe other dishes were better! 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

Do you need a reservation for Sundays? If none are available, should we find another spot or do you have bar seating or other options?
You can add yourself to our wait list in case there are no more reservations available .
Sam I work in the ballpark and during weekdays can I come in late like 1:50?
Our kitchen closes at 2 PM, as long as you place your order before 2 you should be fine.
Looks like just about the same name but new owners? I was obsessed with the previous place... so big shoes to fill. Do you do veggie sausage or veggie bacon? 🙏🏽
No Veggie Bacon or Sausage but there are many Veggie options.
