Blue Jay Cafe

Gone Nasty. I used to love this place like no other. But, based on several visits I can't face it again. I've revisited about 3 times after my first bad experience hoping that that latest visit would absolve it of all past sins. Nope. And I'm not really a fussy eater. Greasy spoons have their place in the world and with me. This place didn't even do comfort food close to passable. Cold biscuits and gravy? Raw potatoes? I think maybe there was a disgruntled chef (ok, cook) or something for it to be so obviously bad.

I make these comments because I would absolutely love it to get turned around and not just shut down. PLEASE CHANGE BLUE JAY!…

Great comfort food!. When you are looking for food to make a bad day go away- heavy and hot, then Blue Jay is your local answer! Fried chicken & mac and cheese in a slow, down to earth environment. The lighting is dim and the music is hip- a great place to stay hidden when you want to go out, but not be "scene".…

Delicious Southern cooking at rock-bottom prices draw locals to this Western Addition must-eat.. In Short
A U-shaped counter occupies the center of the easygoing room, and eye-catching paintings by local artists grace midnight-blue walls. Long-backed wooden benches provide much of the table seating. A hipster crowd downs beers as they try to catch the waitstaff's attention. Familiar Southern-style comfort food is the focus.…

Good, very cool and so tasty. I went there on Friday night with 3 friends around 8 p.m, it was slightly busy, but we were seated after a 5 minute wait. The atmosphere is very casual with a "helpful" and friendly feel (the server who waited on us seemed very happy to be there, not a typical San Francisco server attitude). Now the food, it was GOOD. The menu is where you pick your desired meat or fish with a sauce and you get to choose two side ingredients (that is the fun part because you can tag a bite from a friends plate). My friends and I ordered lots of different things and we had a blast trying the different things, I suggest the Snapper with the green beans and mashed potatoes. We then shared a pecan minature pie, it was to die for. For the tab... I felt it should have been more for the service and food I got. Downside, the bathrooms are kind of unusual. I will return soon…
