The Scene – The large space boasts high ceilings, a long counter, and a few sidewalk tables in addition to loads of little wooden tables and semicircular booths. Diners pass the time by studying the wall's large U.S. map, which along with antique kettles, pans, oars, and yellowed flags add elements of Americana to the decor. – – The Food – The kitchen dishes up down-home American eats with a healthy, fresh California twist. While carnivores relish a succulent slab of a sausage patty or pork chop--or perhaps tender honey-cured bacon--his vegetarian neighbor will…

Will never be back!

Long wait! We decided to have some drinks at a bar while we waited for our table but nobody helped us. Bartenders saw us but just ignored. Hello? They could get more money if they serve us drinks!!! After the long wait, we were assigned to a table right next to the rest rooms. We had to listen water noise and stinky bath room air freshener.
The menu was too complicated! We ordered a plate whatever the name. The description was blah-blah-blah, sausage or veggie gravy. Everyone on my table thought the option was "sausage" or "veggie gravy". When we ordered, the server yelled at us we were wrong. Thanks for the education! We had to read it "sausage gravy" or "veggie gravy". We asked her to make a plate with a sausage and other stuff. She kept arguing with us to correct it. We ended up paying "an extra sausage" with a weird gravy sauce that none of us touched. Oh, she totally forgot to ask us other options for the plate. It should have a biscuit or a muffin or something like that. She was too busy to "lecture" us how to read the menu.
- Pros: none
- Cons: bad table, bad server, bad service

Busy but worth it!

Everytime I have freinds from LA or a late night in town PSC is the first place we go on Saturday. Yes, there will be a wait and yes it is very small but, once you are in, your coffee will never see the bottom of its cup and I highly recommend (Pork eaters) the PSC special. It consists of two pork chops, eggs-your choice, potatoes or O'brian potatoes a biscuit-ask for their gravy and I believe a muffin or english muffin. I am a big guy and every time I eat at PSC believe it or not I am full all day! It is comfort food and the staff is very busy but, quick, kind and helpful. I also recommend their fried chicken...smaller portion then the prior meal mentioned but if you are in a lunch mood it is excellent. PSC por vida.
- Pros: Great comfort food, great for carb lovers
- Cons: Packed with SF yippies...half yuppy/half hippy.

We went there (party of 6) on a saturday morning at 9am. It was not crowded at all. They won't let you make reservations between 10.30am - 1:30pm... I guess that's when It get super busy in there. All of us had breakfast, coffee and mimosas and we spent about 75 plus tip. The service was "casual" but friendly. This is the kind of place you don't have to dress up to go to brunch. Everybody looks like they just rolled out of bed. The crowd is young and the food is good.
- Pros: grits, omlettes, mimosas
- Cons: small "wably" tables
