Gets crowded at around 9am on a weekday but it’s not a long wait to get a table. The plow potatoes and the lemon ricotta pancakes are really special. And get them with the chicken apple sausage! Lovely outdoor seating if the weather is nice.

This was a great breakfast spot. Nice open atmosphere and outdoor seating is available. Not as big as I thought but plenty of room for us and not a long wait on Thursday morning. The food was good and so was the service. My wife had the lemon ricotta pancake breakfast. I had the Plow breakfast with toast and chicken apples sausage. We normally share pancakes but the lemon ricotta pancakes are much smaller than normal so my wife only gave me a small piece but they were good! The chicken apple sausage was good along with the potatoes. Check this place out if you get a chance and I know you will enjoy it.

Awesome brunch place! All the ingredients used here are locally sourced and organic. Food is amazing. We had the Plow (platter) and soft scrambled eggs, both were incredible. The Plow is like a platter where you get to lemon ricotta pancakes, chicken or pork sausage, choice of egg and roasted potatoes. Lemon ricotta pancakes were fluffy and flavorful, we could get the hints of lemon and ricotta cheese. Usually, I don’t prefer roasted potatoes but here you should definitely try them! In Soft scrambled egg, you get scrambled eggs, sautéed spinach and shiitake mushrooms with feta cheese on top. The flavors are excellent. Totally, a great brunch place with awesome staff and incredible food. However, it’s super busy during weekends. We went on a weekday and still had a 10 minutes wait. They tend to wait times as long as 90 minutes during weekends. So, plan to be here as early as possible. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. Haven’t tried their French toast so will go back for the same!

For sure one of the best best brunch spots in SF. Came on Friday at around 10 and lucky that there was almost no wait. Cozy intimate space but not very loud. We first got the buttermilk biscuit, and I’d like to quote fully a review “If you don’t order this, you’ll probably spend the entire meal sneaking jealous looks at those who made the smart decision to get the warm, dense, golden-brown biscuit on the table. It comes with a hunk of sweet honey butter that you’ll want to spread on everything.” Then the lemon ricotta pancakes - I’ve tried so many pancakes in my life but nothing ever like this: a marriage of soufflé and pancakes, ultra fluffy and you feel like sending clouds into your mouth, truly one of a kind and made me dream of it. Lastly, the soft scramble, which again surprised us - as simple as egg scramble, just tastier than all the ones you’ve had elsewhere.

Amazing food, but it comes with a large side of waiting. The lemon ricotta pancakes are perfection - not too sweet and not too lemony. Their house made sausage is packed full of flavor. Good thing is you can get both if you order The Plow. I also had the Custard French Toast which was also very good. We were looking for outdoor seats. We had to wait 1hr 40 mins to be seated, but if we wanted inside seating we probably would've been sat after 1 hr. It was a long wait, but it was worth it.

Enjoyed a bustling Friday morning at Plow - it was worth the 25 min wait! The spot itself has a cool, relaxed aesthetic, paired with wonderful staff. The lemon ricotta pancakes were a fluffy dream, complemented perfectly by the homemade lemonade. Don’t skip on the breakfast potatoes, their crunch is unbeatable! A surprising plus: impeccably clean, heated-seat toilets! A delightful, comfortable brunch spot with scrumptious offerings.

No doubt Plow is the best brunch in the entire SF area! I’ve been coming here for years and I’m so glad they’re still around and haven’t changed the menu because it’s that good. For first timers I would recommend getting the Plow entree which comes with your choice of eggs, protein, and then their plow potatoes and lemon ricotta pancakes. The potatoes are the perfect level of crispness to pair with the meal. The lemon ricotta pancakes are to die for and round off the breakfast with a not too sugary sweet option. They have seating indoors and out, but be warned that it can get a bit chilly outdoors if the sun is not shining. They have a few blankets to provide you but bring jackets too.

My new favorite place for brunch. Food was great. Very tasty. Didn’t wait that long but that’s probably because we went mid week rather than the weekend. Plan accordingly. Parking can be a challenge.

This restaurant is SO good! I had the breakfast sandwich with avocado and my mom had the plow breakfast which had two small lemon ricotta pancakes and eggs and bacon. Both breakfasts were amazing. We waited 45 minutes on a Sunday, but it was worth it.

Food is good but not worth waiting overly long for. Actually liked their pastured eggs (the orange yolk kind) the best. Buttermilk biscuit and lemon ricotta pancakes are also good. Their hot sauce is not hot at all. Their Plow special with coffee, etc. will set you back ~$30+ after tax and tip. 6/7 update: Their steak and eggs was alright; I think I would stick with other options in the future. Pastured egg yolks were yellow but still tasted great.

Quaint brunch cafe vibes that is easily the most popular spot in the Portrero Hill area. The line isn’t necessarily worth the wait unless you can find things to do nearby while waiting. Our group waited a little over one and a half hours and spent the time catching up at Farley’s over coffee across the street. Ricotta lemon pancakes were sweet and fluffy; they’re worth trying as are the plow potato’s for a good side dish. The host and waiter that seated and served us were really friendly, which is often not the case at these really popular food spots. I’d like to try the chicken sandwich next time around.

It’s a good brunch place but i probably won’t wait in line for it. Ricotta pancake was nice but it was slightly dry. Potatoes were good. Service wasn’t super attentive as they were super busy, but all staff was friendly enough. Come early during the weekday to avoid the crowds.

Our first meal on our first visit to San Francisco and we brunched at Plow…absolutely loved it! Our order: The Plow, the 2 egg brekkie and a glass of Orange juice. The pork sausage patties and the Plow potatoes are the stars of the show. The quality of ingredients just shines through. Lovely customer service and I can’t recommend this place highly enough. Two thumbs up!

Excellent food but the service can be so-so, although I tend to contribute that to how busy it gets most days. I’d recommend avoiding Plow on weekends if you can, the wait can be upwards of 2 hours. If you’re local though, coming on a weekday is the best time to avoid waiting. The food is consistently excellent, and my favorite item The Plow gives you a bit of everything. Highly recommend Plow if you can get there and take a couple hours out of your day to wait.

Excellent brunch place. We got the Hong Kong toast which was amazing with the coffee flavored condensed milk. The fried egg sandwich was amazing And the best part, the crispy plow potatoes are a must have

The food was so delicious, we got the breakfast sandwich and Plow special. It was very busy on a Friday morning. The host told us a 15min wait when we waited over 20min. There were some communication issues with the host and server. The host would lead us to a table and the server said to wait to be seated and our host would tell us when it's ready...... even though our host already showed us the table. I understand it was busy but the server had an attitude towards us when we were just doing what we were told to do. After we were sat at the table the service got better and the food came out fast from the kitchen. The parklet we sat at was cute and on top of a wood platform.

I am visiting from out of town and tried this place today. I wanted to go back for lunch lol Best breakfast food I have had in a very, very long time. As a weekly bruncher, that's saying a lot! The food is legitimately amazing. A must visit! It is a very VERY small and tight place as an FYI so be comfortable with rubbing elbows with a stranger or two. The food is worth it! Update: Ended up going back the next day! Couldn't resist!

I heard this place can be really busy so we came first thing in the morning and were quickly sat inside without a wait. This restaurant is quaint and very picturesque, it just felt good being there. The owner actually seated us and chatted with us for a bit which I thought was nice. The service was great and you could tell everyone really wanted you to have an amazing dining experience. The food was absolutely incredible. You could taste the freshness and quality of the ingredients. Seriously everything we tried was perfect. But in my opinion, the stars of the show were the buttermilk biscuit with honey butter and the plow potatoes.
