No wonder it's in the tourist books. It's a total rip-off. That just about says it all. If you want to waste your money, be sure to go to Zuni.

I can describe this restaurant in a few words: over-priced and poorly prepared food that might as well be dipped up from a steam table.

Ho-Hum is about the best that can be said about this place. Even that is stretching it by a lot.

Standard fare. Inflated prices. It's convenient if you're on the way to Glen Park BART on the way to work. That's about the best that can be said for it. It's closer to a rating of 1 than 2, but doesn't quite make a 1.

When they reopened a couple of years ago, after a fire, it was very good. Alas, it went downhill very quickly. A very small example is that when it reopened it served pesto and good olive oil with the bread. Suddenly the pesto disappeared and the quality of the olive oil declined. On a more substantial basis, the really nice luncheon salads they began with disappeared and were replaced with some insipid substitutions. The rest of the menu followed suit quickly. All in all it began well, but it's not worth a trip unless you happen to be driving by and drop in. It's too bad, because it had such potential. As for parking, why is valet parking the only option?

Ho Hum on this place. It's not worth a trip.

The idea seems to be to try to transport diners back to "Merrye Olde England." It doesn't work, in spite of the decor and the "buxom serving wenches." One thing they seem to relish in is their creamed spinach. Unfortunately, it tastes as if it came from a can. It's probably a good change of pace within close walking distance for the folks staying at the hotel across the street. Beyond that, it is not worth a visit.

I stopped on a business trip in the area. Never again. Perhaps is it not quite "awful," but very close to that.

This place is definitely great! It is tucked away on a small street that anyone might just pass right by. It is well worth looking finding. I won't elaborate on the previous reviews. I'll just recommend the place highly.

This restaurant can be described in one word -- "mediocre." The evening meal is tolerable at best. At lunch they have a very poor buffet. If you ask to order from the menu at lunch, they "will have to ask the kitchen if it can be done." If they had more options, I would be there often.

The food here has to be some of the absolute worst Thai food in San Francisco. I have tried it three times to make sure they weren't just having an off-day. It's always crowded at lunch, but what restaurant isn't in the financial district at noon? You're much better off picking up a slice of pizza a few steps away,going to one of the nearby Chinese fast food spots, or even the Burger King up the street.

This is one of those neighborhood places you will probably never see written about in a newspaper or other place. It is small, very inexpensive, and I believe it is totally authentic. The place always has many Pakistani and Indian people in it. The food is excellent! Everything is a la carte and totally self service. You pick up your own tableware and even pour your own water from one of the pitchers in the fridge. You don't have to bus your table though. If you, like I, enjoy very good inexpensive food in a plain atmosphere this is your place. Enjoy!!

It's not what it was, but then neither is Union Street in general. 'Nuff said.

It was good. What happened? It has gone to mediocre. That is very sad.

If you like it overpriced -- this is the place for you.

It draws the out of town visitors at highly inflated prices for mediocre food. What more could we ask for?

I tried it based on some of the earlier reviews. About the best comment I can make is that I'll never go back. I like very spicy/flavorful food, and always ask for extra "flavor." This was BLAND! Had I not asked for extra spicy and flavorful I shudder to think what I would have been served. It's a good place to avoid.

This may well be the best southern home-style restaurant in San Francisco. It makes no pretenses about being fancy in any way. But, the food is just like that I remember growing up eating. Basic, no frills things like fried chicken, fried catfish, liver and onions, and the list goes on. The mashed potatoes even come with greasy gravy -- wonderful! And to top it all off the green beans are canned -- just like back home. The portions are very large, so make sure you are hungry. The pies are delicious, if you aren't too stuffed to eat some. Remembr to expect basic, no frills good food in a basic, no frills environment.

The decor, service, and food are all top notch. The beef is excellent, but how could it not be given the ranch from which it comes? The service is very attentive and prompt without being intrusive. The decor and lighting are done in very good taste. Mrs. Harris is a gracious hostess and does not even hint that it is her restaurant. I had been there many times before someone told me.

I like this kind of hearty food now and then, so I certainly cannot downgrade the place itself. For the kind of food they serve,they are EXCELLENT! For example, the pierogi were wonderful. Heavy? Of course, but I have had much heavier pierogi. In short, I recommend this place.
