What People Are Saying About Bagdad Cafe

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.

Best Brunch in the Castro
by ShakeShakeShake
Whenever I have friends in town I take them to Bagdad Cafe because it epitomizes what the Castro is all about. The friendly efficient staff actually seem to care about the customers unlike other places nearby where I've found the servers to be robotic and Stepford-like (oops I'm showing my age). The restaurant itself is showing its age but then again aren't we all? I just like the unpretentious nature of the place and the fact that it's been around since I moved to S.F. in the early 80s. The only problem I have with Bagdad is they have twice seated people we were ahead of in line. When I mentioned it they apologized and quickly seated us in the next available table - one time even combining tables to accommodate our group. Maybe I'll buy them some lined paper, string, a nail, and a box of pens so they can have a sign up sheet outside their door like other busy brunch places. Other than that Bagdad Cafe rocks!!!
- Pros: Classic breakfasts done right w/o the attitude!

Best late-night joint
by Helga2153
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
- Pros: 24 hour, late-night
- Cons: Usually a line for the bathroom late night
