    What a find! Go to the counter and order what you want. They will give you a number on a stand and you can take it to a table inside or outside. Then when the food is ready, they will bring your order to you. It's very casual. Friendly staff and very quick service. Great for families and kids, especially if you have been walking all day and you just want to chill and get something to eat and drink fast. Good selection of classic American style fare, something you can find at a diner like sandwiches, soups, salads, drinks, desserts.

    The food here is DELICIOUS. The burrito was huge! Could only eat half of it. The avocado tomaste was delicious, so was the bowl. The only thing that stopped me from giving 5 stars, is that the burrito came with a lot of onion and tomato inside, but the menu doesn't says that, and that the seats are too small for big people. Besides that, its a great place. The service was GREAT.

    Best restaurant in the area that is fresh, tasty and sort of trendy. The beer selection is unique and you can almost always expect some surprises. The fried chicken sandwich is fantastic. We always start our morning with a large fresh squeezed OJ from here.

    I was craving a breakfast burrito so I went on google maps to find a place close by, saw that The Grove had it so thought I would give it a shoot! I like their concept of getting into a line, order and then find a seat and they bring your food to you. The ambiance inside was lovely, there were Christmas lights and a huge tree inside, which I loved! Also there was plenty of seating. The breakfast burrito I had was okay, I wouldn’t get it next time, I thought it was kind of dry and not what I was expecting but the portion size was huge! I will go back to try another dish.

    Had a lovely brunch here on the cute patio. Very close to MOMA. The food is very fresh and reasonably priced with good portion sizes. The hash browns are also very delicious since they have rosemary and the green sauce with my breakfast sandwich was delicious.

    Beautiful unique restaurant with absolutely delicious food. Everything we tried was amazing and fresh. Can't say enough about this place! Love ,love, loved it! Dead Head weekend brought a tremendous amount of people here with not only great taste in music, but food as well.

    The Grove used to be my all time favorite breakfast and lunch place near the SF convention district but times seem to have changed it. The menu is mostly the same but the staff seem different and the outdoor seating has expanded quite a lot (and some of the indoor seating is now closed). With a large meeting nearby The Grove was packed with a long line at lunchtime, and when I came back in the early afternoon it was easy to order and find a place to sit. My food took nearly 20 minutes to arrive and the quality was not like in the past. The French toast was coated in egg wash that gave it a scrambled egg flavor (otherwise properly cooked and good flavor) and the bacon was raw on one end and fully cooked on the other. Strawberries were ripe with great flavor and the lemonade was fresh squeezed. Still a great place to eat and very capable of returning to its prior glory.

    Came here on vacation. Great atmosphere. Friendly staff. Seating inside and outside. Busy but fast service. Food and Drinks were good. Only complaint I would have is the price is a little high for the food. Good but expensive

    Had a delicious warm roasted vegetable salad with arugula, sweet potatoes, portobello mushrooms, sliced radishes, chickpeas, and glazed walnuts with a green herb dressing and a slice of crouton bread (it's very crunchy and best broken into your salad with your fork). Great ambiance and friendly service!

    I had the excellent Ruben sandwich with salad and my date had the vegetarian sandwich. Both were perfectly toasted and garnish to give a satisfying crunch yet juicy. Service was excellent and I really enjoyed our sidewalk booth. Small but well appointed with nice plastic widows. Nice watching the cars go by.

    We took 3 breakfast dishes that we shared at 4, and it was excellent! Breakfast Burrito: tasty, spicy, greedy and BIG! Avocado And Egg Toast: Healthy, tasty and well-seasoned. Malibu Breakfast Bowl: Varied, original, healthy, delicious. The place is very nice, and the team is very pleasant.

    Very good food! The location is perfectly located south of Market. You can enjoy breakfast, lunch and dinner. For the quality the prices are reasonable. I loved my mimosa package with Champagner and fresh orange juice.

    I cannot even begin to express our love for our dear friend, Abel and The Grove Yerba Buena! My husband and I take frequent trips to San Francisco, we always make time to stop in for Breakfast, Lunch, or an early Dinner. Trust me when I say that the food is incredible! We've tried most of what's on their menu, and we've loved everything! The staff is so friendly, it makes it hard to leave, and when you do leave, you are immediately looking forward to your next return. Abel always greets us with a smile and hug, the staff remembers us and is always happy to see us...as we are also happy to see them. Go to The Grove on Mission in SF. You'll be SO glad you did, and I promise there will be no regrets! Enjoy!!!

    Enjoyed the breakfast, especially the eggs Benedict! Potatoes were nice and crispy too! I went twice during my visit, I miss this kind of breakfast so much. One thing I definitely need to call out: their fresh orange juice! Definitely great, albeit costly. Worth it for me since I can't get it in Japan ;). I couldn't resist trying the biscuit, which was amazing too, but too much for one sitting. Had to get it in while I could! Next time want to try their lunches!

    This is an interesting place that had the feeling of a lodge in the middle of the city. The food which is sandwiches wee served quickly, the ingredients were fresh and the taste was really good. In addition, to all of that this place is moderately priced. I would say this is a great place for lunch or coffee.

    Nice restaurant to hang out with friends and family. The salads are good but the sandwiches are ok. Prices of the place are reasonable for the place and food. I ordered the Chicken apple salad, this plate has between 4 or 5 pieces of roasted chicken which was juicy and good. The flavor of the salad in general was sour more than sweet. This was an interesting combination of flavors. I recommend that. My other friends were not happy with their food. The chicken sandwich and tuna melt didn't have a lot of filling and the sandwich looked completely flat. They ended up leaving part of the sandwich. Also they mentioned that the coffee was warn and not hot.

    I ordered eggs Benedict. It was good 👍🏼. My favorite was the fresh orange 🍊 juice! I ordered a large but I wasn't expecting such a large glass. It was a good size, great flavor, and a fair price! The staff was also super nice. The host was helpful.

  • 5/5 Mandy V. 1 year ago on Google
    We loved everything about our meal here. The atmosphere is casual, comfy and yet rich and inviting. The high ceilings, wood features, leather and fireplaces all combined to create a wonderful environment. We ordered two pot pies that were as delicious as they were beautiful. The salad had such minimal dressing that you could barely taste it but after requesting some more dressing, the salad was delicious. We will definitely be back!!

    Everything was perfect. Friendly and gracious staff - "I'll take care of you" was something they not only said, but meant. Every flavor was top notch - fresh squeezed OJ, latte, eggs Benny with bacon, avocado toast. Even the bread was delicious.

  • 3/5 Zac H. 6 months ago on Google
    I had high expectations. But unfortunately the eggs benedict wasn't hot enough for my liking. Not sure if it's just how they prep it or if it was actually just not hot. It would have been amazing, as the flavors were great (I ordered it Dave's Way"). A hot plate can make a big difference, and that was probably part of the problem. The hash browns were hot and incredibly good—great texture! It's all order at the counter—and I sat upstairs. An active wait staff probably would have asked how it was and fixed it, but since they don't have that...it wasn't worth the trouble to go back downstairs with the food to tell them it was cold. The espresso I got was good. Atmosphere was nice.

  • 5/5 Cameron F. 2 years ago on Google
    One of my favorite places to eat in San Francisco whenever I'm in town. The food is consistently excellent. Their avocado toast, French toast, quiche, omelettes are all exceptionally well made. It's also a great atmosphere with excellent service. I mean next level excellent service.

  • 3/5 Carl 10 months ago on Google
    Friendly service and nice atmosphere but food was a big disappointment. My $18 breakfast burrito was soggy and flavorless. GF’s Benedict came out cold, with untoasted English muffin, and also strangely lacking in flavor. The only thing we liked was the orange juice ($8). Expected much better, especially for these prices ($72 for two, w/out tip).

  • 5/5 Stephanie M. 2 years ago on Google
    Love coming to The Grove every time we're back in SF. Lovely staff & delicious food. I had the Berkeley bowl for breakfast & hubs had the bacon quiche. Both so delicious. Pro Tip: The mimosa package is about the price of 3 mimosas. So, that's a must if you're planning on 3+ of those. Also it was toasty warm upstairs if you're on the chilly side. We like to sit on the "rail" to people watch. =)

    Came thru just passing by & stumbled upon this breath of fresh air! The food was so super fast & very flavorful & with them being a pet friendly place, our huskies loved the place even more! ...just, it would've been 5stars, but one worker brought our some dog bowls of water that had food specs in it & was very dirty. But still, highly recommend this place!
