Editorial Review for Grubstake – by Citysearch Editors

In Short
Housed in an old train, this cozy eatery's proximity to the bars and clubs of Polk Street draws a late-night crowd of drunken revelers. The extensive menu features all the dinner favorites, such as burgers and steaks, and the back page is devoted to Portuguese fare. Authentic dishes include codfish with potatoes, onions and hard-cooked eggs, and pork chops seasoned with white wine, garlic and Portuguese spices.

I discovered this place on my hunt for a real diner experience in SF and I loved it! Great atmosphere, made nice and kitchy by the excess of holiday decorations hung from nook and cranny. Our waitress was very friendly and our burgers were just what the doctor ordered on that chilly day. We're looking forward to many returns.

Pros: Fun, easy going, kitchy setting and the burgers!

Cons: Not open for lunch during the week

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Grubstake is my favorite restaurant in town. The service is attentive and polite. The food is awesome and the and the milkshakes are like something out of a dream. the inside is quaint, but clean. it's open quite late, but I've never been there past 2am. So if you want a good meal and a comfortable atmosphere to eat it in try out the Grubstake.

Pros: portions, quality, milkshakes, nice service
