  • 5/5 Jeff H. 9 months ago on Google
    Update 7/1/2023: The smog check for my Tacoma pick-up truck was due and I was in the neighborhood at Quality Tune-up on Fell St. Too bad their smog machine is broken and I went to the Pork Store because I knew they would be open early and I could sit down and find another smog check station. Although I wanted to try their other dishes, I often find myself ordering the same thing since everything taste better with country gravy. Biscuits and gravy it is. I mean, you wouldn't order biscuits and gravy and a cheeseburger?! That would be weird. In addition, their pork chops are just so darn good, it is hard to deviate. When I was taking photos of the beautiful biscuits and gravy, the young waitress recognized me from last time because of my Yelp photos. How funny. I've never had anyone recogize me before from my Yelp bisuits and gravy photos before. Regardless, the food was excellent. The chefs here know their brunch dishes. Better than their 16th St. location. Service was excellent. Good job everyone at the Pork Store. Updated 6/12/2022: Pork Store gets the Jeff H. award for best brunch spot on Haight St. The 2x pork chops were huge this time. Luck of the draw I guess. Last time, they were small. I arrived at 8:30am and no line! There's usually an hour wait if you come after 10am. My pork chops $14.50 were great. It had a smokey grill favor. Eggs were done perfectly and my hash browns weren't bad. The biscuits and gravy $4 were awesome. The gravy had lumps of meat in it. At these types of diners, I love sitting at the counter and watch my food get made. Service was excellent. Great job my friends at the Pork Store. Original review: Indoor dining 5/16/2021. Weekends are better with brunch! I love this location much more than their 16th St. location. The awesome waitresses are friendly and acts as though they are not at work here. The vibe is very relaxed. It reminds me of the diners I visited in the midwest where there's actual small talk between customers and waitstaff. There were tables available at 9am, but by 9:30am, the wait list was filling up. I had the pork store special with two pork chops. It comes with hash browns and eggs. I ordered gravy with my biscuits. The gravy is highly recommended. I soak the biscuits and then mix it up by dipping some of the pork chops in it. Sooooo good. Thanks Pork Store chefs and waitstaff for a terrific brunch! Now I'm gonna take a nap.

    Hung out n front on Haight while they set up to open at 8a. I liked everything about it. Both the counter staff & short order cook were great at what they do. The music they played was eclectic and I liked every song. I got 2 eggs over easy, hash browns & biscuits with veggie gravy. I was full for hours. It'll b on my list every time I visit sf.....

    We grabbed breakfast here while on our visit to San Francisco. The food was fresh and very flavorful. I got the eggs Benedict with Chile piquin sausage it was super flavorful and spicy. The hashbrowns are cooked to perfection. I also liked the fact that I was offered a to-go box to donate the food I did not touch to the homeless if I wanted to as I was not bringing it with me. Overall great experience here and the staff was super attentive and helpful. I highly recommend checking this place out.

    I have been to this establishment before many times but this is the first time I felt to leave a review. The server that took my order was lovely. I am assuming she is the child of immigrants based on her cut off sweatshirt. She was lovely. The reason for a 4 star review and overall 3 for the food was that my pork chops were not that amazing. They have never been and that is why I have taken so long to write this review. As a tip go early. There are less people.

    Wednesday morning at around 9:30 am was not busy at all. A few tables and bar seats were taken, but we were seated immediately. We got the pork store special and the chicken fried steak. Both were ok. Prices were really good.

    Omg how did I not know about this jewel right around the corner from my home? From the minute I walked in the door and saw my waitress wearing a USF Don’s Women’s Soccer shirt it felt like home! My only complaint is they fed me too much. Couldn’t finish Lynn’s Eggs Benny! Everything was 5 stars service food and atmosphere. Can’t wait to return and try more dishes! Special thanks to Jessica the best bud tender at BASA for clueing me to this jewel!

    4 of us had lunch and ordered different things. My pork chops were excellent. The chef cooked them just like i asked for. I hate dry, leathery meat and these were tasty and still moist and juicy. But those biscuits. I'm over 70 years old and these were the BEST biscuits EVER. When you don't need to add butter, you know they were absolutely fantastic. It's a great breakfast and lunch local hangout. It's not a huge place but just nice and cozy place to enjoy your meal. I will definitely come back and back again. TY

    Cozy diner with inventive breakfast menu. Like grits—but hash browns, too. Counter has 15 seats.
