"Longtime favorite Grumpy’s was a legend among journalists for 34 years, thanks to its location in San Francisco’s “media gulch,” but the bar closed in the onset of the pandemic in March 2020 only to reopen in January 2025 under new ownership. There’s a solid, two-patty burger on the menu, of course, but new to the scene are grandma-style pies with four different options to choose from — available also by the slice — and there’s a build-your-own option if preferred." - Dianne de Guzman
