The Scene
This venerable longshoreman's hang was saved from the wrecking ball when it was moved to its present location, where the big windows now take in stunning Alcatraz views. With its rough-hewn decor--exposed beams, chalkboard menu and thick, wooden furniture--the restaurant has no table service. Diners order at the counter and eat at long family-style tables.
The Food
The menu features affordable prices and classic diner fare. Eggs are handled masterfully, coming out fluffy, light and greaseless. A vegetarian omelette is packed with thick-cut mushrooms and crisp peppers, accompanied by spicy, orange home fries that have benefited from a long stay on the griddle. Tasty blueberry pancakes are clearly made from scratch, and deserve better than the fake maple syrup provided; a little jam from the cutlery caddy makes a nice substitute. Specials include eggs Benedict with thick, luscious hollandaise and an especially meaty, crisp corned beef hash.

Small and expensive but decent servings. Rustic decor. Historic building that was moved from across the street to pier 39. Breakfast, Lunch and dinner. You can get meatloaf for $17.

This great find popped up when we least expected it. Really nice staff, very comfortable cafe right at the foot of Pier 39. We finished breakfast very satisfied and filled to our gills with fantastic food. Our simple egg/bacon/potato/pancake breakfast started our day right. They gave us generous portions of perfect bacon, the potatoes were great (red potatoes sauteed with green peppers and onions), and the pancakes nice and fluffy. Nice small feel to the place and there is a great view of the bay with Alcatraz dead center.
