List 14 Budget-Friendly Restaurants Near You in San Francisco, California (Part 2)

Jeff Ho 11/15/2025: No line for brunch on a Saturday. Out of the row of bar stools at the counter, two were dirty. One had a used napkin on it and the other had an old newspaper. I sat down on a clean one and order a mushroom cheeseburger $13.50 and a side of sunny side eggs $5.25. Food arrived quickly. When I assembled and ate the burger, all this grease started spilling out. While it tasted good, that cant be healthy. Service was fine. Brunch 4/25/2021. Tennessee Grill has a truck stop feel to it. Both the indoor and outdoor decor can use a renovation. Today, I got the Mandalay Slam (bacon, ham, sausage link, patty two eggs.) Service was fast and the food came out quick. The waitress was attentive on the coffee refills. The food was not bad. The hash browns came out slightly crispy but was still too mushy for me in the middle. It lacked that buttery taste. The English muffins came pre-buttered, which was nice. Overall, this was not a bad meal. Thanks Tennessee Grill!

Yumile andrea Leguizamon tibata The place is charming, the atmosphere and the staffs attention are wonderful. The cocktails and drinks are very well prepared and the food is exquisite. We spent a week in Chicago and went there for breakfast every day. The hostess is unique and attends to every detail. I recommend it 100%.

Chandra Prasad Great place to get a breakfast or brunch and walk around the presidio. We had the first appointments and it was great to see the staff lined up to open the restaurant and escort each group to their table. The menu is fresh and is changed often. The Turkish and Mediterranean inspired cuisine was fabulous and the views are great! We enjoyed our time there and will be back again.

B. Truman Burke Great food, great service! We had the Good Morning Machete (with Soyrizo) and Huevos Ranchero. One of us had a Michelada, but I cant remember the other cocktail, which was new on the menu. All of it was phenomenonal. I almost got the ribs to go. They looked and smelled amazing.

Margarita Mendoza The staff and chef were so accommodating to my large party of 10! We had our holiday get together here and the team really took care of us. They were all so kind, warm, and attentive. The chef delivered super tasty dishes that really pleased our group of foodies! Thank you again for hosting us. We will all definitely be back!!!

Abe I sat at the bar and had a great time. It was a relatively quiet Saturday, so it was only me and a few other guests at the bar, but there was plenty of space since it wraps around forming a U-shape around the bartenders. It was my first time having a michelada, and the esquites were delicious too! They mentioned this was a pop-up menu, but Im looking forward to coming back to try their original menu.

Carl Foisy Burrito stuffed with goodness! The meat was hella good, and the balance between meat and everything else was legit. Not a very long line or wait, but for a burrito on Mission, I recommend this joint. There are only a few places like this that are worth the drive from San Jose, and it’s always a tasty treat. Orale!

Mia R Mentaiko spaghetti has amazing umami its a must try. Chicken Karage and Gyudon is also pretty good. Super cozy and chill place in Mission. The line was about 15 mins wait after 1pm on Friday

Dante Spears We all know when visiting / staying at a Four Seasons property, the expectations are set. Just like any other property I’ve experienced, San Francisco did not disappoint. I came for breakfast for this particular visit. Did not disappoint. Farm fresh food, white glove service, and a relaxing yet welcoming atmosphere. Great experience from being greeted by valet until paying the bill. See you guys soon.

Michelle Krause Wow this is definitely our new go-to spot for Chinese food! Authentic, super delicious and fresh. The inside of this restaurant is nicely lit and very clean. Speedy service too the aunties working are very friendly. Food came out piping hot. Great portion sizes too! What we ordered: - Mongolian beef: so yum, tender beef - Fried chicken wings: crispy! - Dry fried green beans: flavorful and fresh - Pork & cabbage dumplings: fresh and delish - Salt & Pepper squid: crispy and nicely seasoned Will definitely come back to try more on the menu.

Archie Simtoco We wanted to try an American Diner right before new years eve so we tried this place which was just around the corner from our hotel. The place did not disappoint. My son had the Pinecrest breakfast and he said it was the best. I had the patty melt and it was a perfect diner experience for us.

American Angler What a great little place the Fiorella Sunset restaurant is! I was at Finns Tavern with Irish Mike and Green Kelly puttin um down just as fast as Finn could make um...when Mike pulls out 3 sling shots from a bag, and says lets go over to the park and slingshot some of them unsavory types! Well, I figured Itll be fun as hell or the hooscow for the three of us, after making sure we had bail money we went and had an amazing time...but it wasnt as amazing as the Minetrone soup we had at the restaurant Fiorella Sunset, It was Spectacularly Delicious and worthy of a cross-town trek! ☆☆☆☆☆

Celeste Vasquez The food was exceptional, especially the grilled octopus, which was perfectly tender and full of flavor. The sangria was also amazing - refreshing, well-balanced, and beautifully served. The service was excellent from the moment we arrived. The staff was warm, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. Without a doubt, this is a place I would highly recommend. Great food, great drinks, and outstanding hospitality - Ill definitely be coming back!

Miguel Cruz Delicious food. Small restaurant with limited sitting, but because of that the service is really good. Staff is nice. Food taste great. The taste is genuine Mexican. Cant go wrong with anything. Burrito, pancakes, chilaquiles, everything was good. Servings are generous. I got the Half Chilaquiles and the portion was more than enough for me. The full couldve fed 2 or 3 people. Definitely would come here again.
