In Short
Down-home and fun, this popular cafe epitomizes the spirit of the Castro. The staff is friendly, the tables are spacious and the large windows along Market Street make for easy people-watching. Bagdad's most prized dish is its hamburger, a half-pound Black Angus worthy of compare to any burger in San Francisco. Triple-decker sandwiches are overstuffed and the "desert-spiced" fries come with a vat of ranch dressing for dipping.

Folks have mixed opinions about this place but when my movie ends at 1230AM on Saturday and I'm hungry, we cab it over to the Castro and get Bagdad's Desert Fries (kinda spicy fresh cut french fries). And I am sated. Shared half of a Buffalo Chicken salad tossed in hot sauce and then craved more of the crumbled blue cheese dressing. Definitely didn't leave feeling jipped. Have had the Belgian waffle with pecans while hungover and I was cool..... comfortable. Late night crew working were funky and one chick was 'inked'. Kinda hot.... ;D

Brought some out of town friends there today, raving about this place. Unfortunately it's gone downhill from my last dining out there. Lots of dirty dishes left on tables and all the waitress wanted to tell us was that she was the only on there that day and she had a headache. Took 10 minutes until she took our order. When a guest wanted to sit at a particular table she moved the dished to another table and stated the same thing--only waitress, headache. Bathroom was disgusting with holes in the lower part of the wall and mice droppings all over the place. Certainly hope that things get better for them, otherwise there are lots of other CLEAN places in the area to eat....

Pray you don't get sick when you eat here. Their most recent food inspection score is 64 / 100, which pretty much says it all right there. According to the inspection report (available at sf.cleanscores dot com) the violations include: no hand washing by employees, inadequate sinks, and food that is not hot or cold enough. They were also dinged for improper food storage, lack of food thermometers, and "unclean premises". My recent visits in January 2008 have all been disappointing: overcooked chicken tenders, badly seasoned food, rude/demoralized wait staff. I don't know whether they are coping with bad ingredients, bad recipes, or bad cooks, but the food coming out of their kitchen lately has been just awful. I live nearby and have given this place many chances but with this latest health inspection failure I'm not taking any more risks.
