Plain Jane, San Francisco CA

This is our favorite breakfast place in the Sfbay area. Get the pistachio latte; the s
Flight of sweet pancakes, the French toast, or (my favorite) the Chorizo Scramble. The breakfast potatoes are unmissable, too.

Get there early to beat the line.

Fine brunch food but quite expensive for what it is. Brunch was delicious and filled our hunger, but it wasn't the best we've had. I do appreciate that they have gluten free pancakes, but they were just 'fine'.

Long story short, this had to have been the absolute worst fried chicken and waffles combo i've ever ordered and forced myself to eat.the fried chicken itself was over cooked, extremely greasy and it seemed as though it had been sitting there for a while because i noticed that the waffle was soggy and it seemed like it had soaked up the oil from the chicken on top of it.i didn't like the sauce that they provided on the side when i tried it.the order came with guacamole which made zero sense to me as not one ingredient on the plate needs guacamole as a side.lastly, the bacon was also overcooked to the point where it crunched and broke apart when i bit it.i'm not sure if this was a one off error for the dish and i could go on about the issue but ultimately it was the overcooked and underflavored chicken, the soggy waffle and the random guacamole with borderline burnt bacon.i was extremely disappointed with my overall breakfast experience.

Usually there is a line and for a good reason: this place executes well on pretty much everything we ordered. Waffles were crisp, fried chicken was crisp, the French toast with custard was mindblowingly good.

Literally no vegan options, I've never been somewhere in sf that can't at least make accommodations. When asked if there were options they just said "No" so we had to go somewhere else

Wow! The pancakes were amazing. The Benedict was amazing. One of the best breakfasts I've had in a long time. Get the pancake flight!

Incredibly delicious brunch! My friend and I visited on a Saturday around 11: 30am and had a short wait for a table inside. I ordered the fried chicken and red velvet waffle and my friend ordered the mambo italiano tartine. We each also got a mimosa each. The red velvet waffle was delicious and I can't say enough good things about it! The chicken was also good quality. I personally thought it was a little odd to include guacamole with this dish since it didn't go very well with the rest of the food (maybe the chicken by itself)

The food is great, it's true, but there are basically zero good vegetarian options, literally zero vegan options, AND they "politely decline" all substitutions. Sure, the sweet flight is vegetarian, but it's more like a decadent dessert to share with friends than a meal. They have zero House Favorites and zero Benedicts that a vegetarian can eat — even the huevos rancheros, a safe option almost anywhere else, is a no-go bc it has chorizo. Eggs Benedict (super easy to make vegetarian) has to come with Canadian bacon. Chilaquiles has to come with pork. Literally the only thing you can get here as a vegetarian are 2 eggs (for $16!) or an oyster mushroom omelette. Total no-go if you're a vegan. Would expect more of a brunch place in SF of all places.

SO GOOD!
Eggs Benedict was delicious and the gluten free pancakes were a huge hit. Don’t walk-run!

Small little restaurant with great ambience and a great brunch menu. The bloody Mary's are a definite pick. The service could be a little better, but definitely nothing to stop us from returning.

I quickly fell in love with the brunch menu here, and that's why I chose to try them over every other brunch place I came across in the area. The chicken and waffle, pancake, benedict, and latte varieties all looked excellent/creative. My red velvet latte was tasty and plentiful. The duck in hash was tender and flavorful; the potatoes were perfection, super crispy and airy inside; subtly sweet quince sauce was a good balace for everything on the plate. The chicken and waffles were a 9/10 plate, per my lady. There was soooo much going on on that plate: tasty chipotle sauce, perfectly crispy bacon, and an interesting addition of guac. There was super quick service on a weekday morning. We left very happy and very full!

Sooo good!
I took the red velvet waffle with fried chicken and it was super delicious. I was a bit worried about the combination red velvet / chicken but I was wrong!
Absolutely loved the food.
The place in itself is not super welcoming but the food was delicious.

Some of the best breakfast potatoes that I have ever had.
Wish they had a reservation system that didn't involve standing in a line out front, baking in the sun.

This restaurant has an incredibly extensive menu which spans multiple cuisines and they pull off the impressive feat of executing each of those cuisines well. We used to be regulars at their sister restaurant, Mymy, until we moved out of that neighborhood, so we were excited to try this location and we were not disappointed! My husband had chicken & waffles, and I was intrigued by an item on the menu called "chicken tenders and chorizo fries". It was exactly what it sounds like, and it was delicious! I definitely recommend this place if you have time to stand in the line.
