"This place has been here for *years* (which likely means it'll soon be replaced by an Artisan Beard Boutique). While lacking beans (& the mushrooms it used to have) the Irish Breakfast is fantastic."

"The "Mr Scoville" isn't as spicy as the menu threatens - more like a mild tingle than an inferno. Super-tasty beef though!"

"BBQ Albacore Appetizer. 2 orders, to save you the embarassment of reordering after you inhale the first plate of it."

"Claypot Shrimp, Vietnamese iced coffee... pretty much the perfect lunch"

"Their crusty white loaf is hands-down the best bread available anywhere in SF..."

"Hate standing in line? Either go off-peak (before 12 / after 1:30) or grab a ready-made salad from the fridge at the back of the store..."
