"My husband and I walked into this restaurant on 5/27 at 3:00 pm. We were told to sit down where ever we wanted. We took our seats by the window. Someone came by, handed us a menu, took our drink orders, and asked if we were planning on ordering food; we replied that we were going to order an appetizer to share. The waiter said okay and walked off. Then, a carafe with water was provided with two water glasses. Shortly after, our drink orders were delivered. At this point, one of the water glasses had to be sent back because it was dirty. The waitress later returned with a clean glass filled with water. That was the last time we had any service. No one checked on again or stopped by to take a food order. We sat there for a total of 30 minutes, enjoying our drinks. Since the waitresses were all standing in the corner behind the bar, we decided to just walk over to the cashier to pay. This was our second time visiting this establishment. This is the second time we sat there with no service. At least we had drinks this time. Fool me once; shame on you. Fool me twice; shame on me. We will not be returning to this place for a third time."

Great customer service, very proactive about checking in to clear the table not invasive. Will update review as I try more food items I had their sausage sandwich. View menu

Noisy bar restaurant with great food but a little long on waiting for the food. French Onion soup was very good. As was the grilled pork loin. Good portions. Friendly staff.Food: 5/5

everything My family ate here tasted great. The server was awesome and kind even with our many request. Waters were never empty. Wine was good. I am originally from the south and haven’t really found any good bbq so far out in Cali, but the bbq nachos were bomb. 10 out of 10. We’ve been traveling the coastal part of Cali the past 3 days and it was the best meal out of the whole trip for sure.

Ate outside, was good. Standard American pub fare, not a ton of inspired vegetarian but there’s always french fries and mac cheese. The Veggie Burger was good and worth ordering. Beer selection was good, a crisp light ale for a “warm” San Francisco day. They have heaters you can adjust at each table in the parklet, which was a great add. Overall a good experience, but probably better if you eat meat. View menu

Great neighborhood bar and grill in downtown. The staff was extremely nice and it has an excellent environment (almost English pub like). Food was good and many people must think so since it was doing a very brisk lunch business for a Thursday afternoon. They have a very extensive liquor selection although the beer selection is way too limited for a place that is clearly a bar and grill. Still, with that limitation, it is a great place to grab lunch.

Walked in here randomly when a place we tried to go to nearby ended up not having the happy hour we thought it was going to have, but it's probably going to be our first and last time.The quesadilla was decent in the way that it's hard to really mess up a quesadilla, but also probably something you could make at home in a second. Potato skins were...unfortunately not very flavorful. The skins were not crispy, and the layer of sour cream cheese did nothing for the dish.They do have beer on tap, so maybe stick to the drinks!

"Earlier this year Salty 's was featured in one of the top 100 places to eat in the Bay Area in 2022, and after trying it a couple times, it 's easy to see why. Quality and flavor, great customer service, it checks all those boxes. I occasionally visit the 24 hour fitness on Van Ness, and Salty 's happens to be just few short blocks away which makes it perfect when I 'm looking for a post-workout sandwich. And for those that know me, I love me my sandwiches. On my latest visit, I decided to go with the 'Glorious B sandwich, which come with turkey, bacon, avocado, pepper jack, veggies, and garlic mayo. The blend of flavors and high quality of the turkey is no wonder it 's at the very top of the menu list. It 's one of those sandwiches, that you can bring to park and not need a ton of napkins to get through. It was well put together, with the ratio of all the ingredients matching well. Nothing overpowering, just sandwich perfection. The size of the sandwich I thought was the perfect size for my appetite. As I 've gotten older I can 't put down as much food as I used to, and after one-half I knew I could 've stopped eating, be content, saved the rest for later. But of course I ate the whole thing and nothing sounds better than taking a quick power nap right after. I love that their menu has so many different sandwich combinations, so definitely take time to check their menu before calling-in/walking-in to order because it 'll definitely save you some time. On my latest visit, I was in and out in 10 minutes. Definitely towards the top of my list of sandwiches in this part of town!"
