1300 On Fillmore

Some hundred thousand years ago, in the blazing heart of the sun, a photon was born. Over millennia, it slowly, inexorably inched its way past the inferno towards freedom. Back on Earth, civilizations were birthed, rose, and fell, while our little photon approached the Sun’s surface - and freedom. Upon reaching the surface, the photon’s journey was much quicker and smoother. It shot in a straight path at the highest speed possible in the Universe, with a universe of promise in front of it. A mere eight minutes after escaping its hell, this photon passed through a window, and struck this sorry excuse for a Belgian waffle. It might have vanished forever into oblivion and anonymity, but through a cruel twist of fate, the photon’s frequency was precisely that needed to reflect off the soggy crust and enter a camera lens, to be recorded for all history. I pity that photon. 2 stars because the service was ok.

In SFO at the end of G gate area. Plenty of seating. Nice selection. Sat down and waited, and waited. Finally recieved a menu as I prefer the paper menu vs scan and search. Then I waited and waited and finally flagged a waiter. Ordered a 20oz draft Blue Moon. Then I wait and waited. BLUE Moon arrived, nice and cold. HiT the spot. While I enjoyed my beer I saw several food orders go bye. They all looked and smelled great. Flagged a staff member down to pay my tab. Then I waited and waited. Finally recieved a receipt. Then I waited and waited until a staff member came over placed a scan and pay device in front of me. I then performed the close out transaction and even printed out my own receipt. I did not know I was a new hire here. I say it will be faster to just buy a beer at one of the shops. KEEP ON WALKING and save yourself about an hour.

It's at the end of international terminal G gates. Many drinks, order should be only because only one server at the time

Terrible establishment based purely on the service of the wait staff who served us around 7pm tonight. He gave us time to view the menu but then left it so long to come back we had to ask him to come over. We ordered a Sprite and a beer. He delivered the beer but no Sprite. 5 min later I went to the bar to ask about the Sprite and he miraculously appeared 2 minutes later with the drink. We ordered the tomato soup, a burger and a side of fries and paid $69 USD! What a rip off. The table next to us was empty but full of dishes. The restaurant was not busy. He eventually cleared the table but it was not wiped down. The menu stated a 5% charge is added to the bill to take care of staff benefits and retention which we interpreted that no tip was required. Based on his lax approach I was not going to tip anyway. He handed me a receipt with a total showing $53.68 but I was charged $69.49. He gave us a bill for another table. He asked me why I was not tipping and I told him his approach was lazy and he needs to pay more attention to his customers. He then threw the receipt on the table and disputed my recollection of his actions. I told him he needs to be ready to hear all feedback if he’s going to ask why a customer will not tip. This guy is not doing this brand any favours.

We came in for Southern plates but there was no shrimp and grits or chicken and waffles. My chicken sandwich was decent but wife's turkey salad was awful. Also $4.50 for a club soda? Kind of feels like I was robbed....

Great place to hangout in international terminal G. It’s at the very far end and has access to patio as well. Got the quesadilla, it was crisp and warm. Probably one of the best airport food.

Very dissapointed. I have seen cleaner fast food chains. Greasy fingerprints everwhere, stains on chairs, and floors. The breakfast food seemed like reheated costco products. Ordered an old fashioned, and it was barely a drink. He did at least apologize for having just plain ice at the time. I felt that for the price, I should at least have a clean place to be at. The place was dead, but with 3 backstaff having a whole conversation, maybe some of them should have been cleaning the place. 2 people, for breakfast and 1 cocktail was $100. Dennys is cheaper, cleaner, and at least cooks your food, instead of microwaving costco foid.

Food was okay. Not great, not terrible. The steak in my quesadilla was cooked well. Dish could have used more seasoning. Some of the staff seemed to be having a bit of an off day and weren’t too friendly but my server Christian was a delight and made up for any of that. Five stars purely for his service. He made the experience worthwhile and you could see him taking his time with each table. I hope he gets a promotion.

Great "Power Cobb" salad!!! Not cheap, but very good!! Having water kept my bill lower!!

Food is fine, drinks are fine, but the price is insane. This business has lost the plot. $20 beer and $26 hamburgers with sneaky hidden bill tax for "employee benefits" as well. They surely ask for another 18-25% tip on top!

Not bad place next to my gate at SFO international terminal G. Server was decent and attentive. Food was better than expected. Got the steak and it was cooked perfect. Fries were piping hot and didn't not break the bank. What more can you ask for?

Pretty decent eats at SFO. Got the Breakfast Burrito with Sausage and it came fully filled with tasty scrambled eggs, fresh avocado, and whole grain rice. The rice was unlike typical ones used in most burrito but I dig it. The salsa verde was nice and fresh as well. Extra point for toasting their tortilla!

The drink menu was so sad that we just left. My wife found their supposed drink menu online and it actually had interesting cocktails (mezcal paloma, dark and stormy, sazerac, etc) , so we headed over... the cocktail menu is the most basic garbage, at about $20 (for something like a tres agaves tequila paloma), or $10 for something like a a Coors Light. Terrible prices for terrible drinks. No thanks.

Dirty glasses with food stains. Unhelpful staff. It's an airport bar so didn't expect much but there are 20 bars in this airport so I'd check out any other 19 bars before this.

Good drinks while waiting for a flight. Great service also. Pineapple mint mimosas and a cranberry mule.

Skip it ! It was dead for a reason . Unless you don't to wait in line . The toast with hair thin salmon was not good at all . My espresso martini was made with Kailua not espresso. Not good either .

It's ok by California standards. Would never make it in San Antonio. But if it's your last meal in the states before you travel internationally then hit it up.

We had the chicken sandwich and Cobb salad. The chicken sandwich was decent at best and the Cobb salad was absolutely terrible. Ingredients were not fresh and the ranch was spoiled. Definitely would never go here again. Plus, even for airport food the price is outrageous.

3rd time here already. It is located inside the airport in San Francisco and always fun to hang out before you fly. A good hour to 2 hours wait before boarding makes it just so relaxing. Service is great. Ambiance is fair as well. We ordered 3 alcoholic drinks for the three of us, one order of french fries and one order of wings costed us $85 dollars plus tip of $11 dollars. So almost $100 total and around $33 per person. Hmmm what do you think? Anyways, I still love coming here.

Service was so so. Ordered an avocado caprese sandwich for a quick lunch. They forgot the avocado. How pathetic is that? When I complained they brought a small container with mashed avocado for me to put it on my self. Sorry - I expected better from this kind of upscale bar & grill. Also they charged my two dollars more than the sign at the entrance advertised. $20.99 for this? When asked about the difference in price, the server said they had not have time to update the sign outside. Very unprofessional. Definitely won't be back!

Paid $18 for "house made queso blanco and chips"....got nacho cheese that was lukewarm at best

I ate here on my way to Tahiti . Fast service is really nice when you're about to board for flight 5 . We split the pub burger it was average. 3 stars . Ambiance 4

I ate here recently at the SFO airport during a layover. I ordered the fish and chips that the waitress recommended. It was surprisingly good with noticeable good quality fish and not greasy with a crunchy exterior and moist and flavorful on the inside. The fires were good too and not greasy and had a nice texture and flavor. I sat at a table but they also have bar seating available and the area of the terminal is modern and clean.

Over $100 for 3 (not so great) cobb salads and a beer is excessive, even for an Airport! Be prepared to pay through the nose for an average snack that leaves you feeling a bit ripped off!

draft beer could be colder... not much happening at 2046. servers are detached. Not too busy, unlike Mustards A gates International terminal...

The lady working here was extremely rude. She didn't pay attention to my friends order and practically threw down the payment machine at us. The food is also extremely overpriced for what you get.

I have low expectations for airport food, but even I couldn't have seen this coming: 2 tablespoons of canned nacho cheese when I ordered $14 House-made Queso Blanco. Wow. Taco Bell's has more flavor. Didn't even bother ordering an entree after this. Also, I am sitting at my table waiting for my check and can currently hear the servers screaming (literally) at each other for one taking the other's table. It's been going on for at least 5 minutes. Horrible experience.

The ABSOLUTE FUCKING WORSE!! The sign says to seat yourself. Fine. Table bar code didn't work so after about 10 minutes someone came over and gave us menus and told us the bar code system sucks. Ok thats bad when your server tells you this. We waited another 10 minutes for our order to be taken. I asked for waters NEVER GOT THEM. Waited another 10 minutes while I watched the server pour my beer from the tap walk away make ONE drink for someone bring it to their table and go back to the tap and spill it out. This happened like 4-5 times and as I was waiting and staring at this server doing this (mind you he saw I was looking at him) it was super obvious the tap needed to be changed but he NEVER came over to tell me that. I literally had to walk to the bar ask someone else for our beers and the water we never got. She comes over with my boyfriends beer and tells me the tap for my beer is messed up. Ok fine, I ask for the other IPA and she brings me that, meabwhile our original server walks out the restaurant and leaves for the day. Horrible service! After about another 10 minutes they bring out our burgers GROSS! They are premade and what looks like pre-frozen store brought hockey pucks. Bland. Dry AF! And despite us asking for medium (which the server said all their burger come prepared medium) it was well done. Soggy fries and stale chips! Oh and let me add, I had to get up and get my own ketchup because god forbid anyone ask if we needed anything else. They literally dropped our food, bailed and never came back to check on us. So even after it was obvious we were done I had to get up and ask for our bill which took another 10 or so minutes. Looking around at the other people who started off like us patiently waiting for water, food and general service , they all looks pissed and were still waiting for parts of their orders. So after about 1.5 hours we had a shitty meal (2 burgers and 2 beers) and shitty service all for $90!!! SAVE YOUR MONEY and the annoyance before your flight and go somewhere else!! The people across at Joe and the Juice looked happy and satisfied!

Place was a rip off and the service wasn't so great either. Food was cheap quality and I think she even charged me more than the menu indicated. My bad, but I wasn't paying attention and on the quick move. Stay away from this place.

This is a quick stop between flights located right near the terminal garden. Nice views towards the west. Former restaurant chef at the SF Hilton gives a moderate menu. Lots of drinks. Burgers, sandwiches and roast meats. Service was good but short staffed. Quick service if you flag her down.

Not sure if I would come here again. I ordered a rib-eye burger and it was good quality burger. Flavor was ok but not wow. We found the food price here are at the higher end and it was so empty inside when we went. We received hardly any service here. Also the server charged us more than what we ordered. We got the bill rectified but our server wasn't very happy. I don't suggest trying this place. There are other restaurants close by within walking 2 mins distance. It was the service that we found unimpressive.

Watch out, prices on menu are much lower than actual charged price. Otherwise food was okay, service was okay.

United International gates have limited food options- a restaurant from Napa, a market from Napa, and a few spots from SF. We luckily walked all the way around before choosing and found 1300 tucked away at the end. It is next to an outdoor patio area where you can get some air or do some lunges. We sat at the bar that overlooks the tarmac and the freeway. Our bartender was nice, calm & prompt. He even gave my husband the remote so he can watch premier league games on the TV. I ordered their friend chicken sandwich and he ordered their burger with a fried egg. The chicken sandwich was ginormous and I was only able to eat half but took it in a to go box for my 12 hour flight. The chicken was perfectly seasoned and super crispy on the outside. The slaw was a little mellow. I think if it had a aioli on the brioche bun it would be perfect but it was delicious nonetheless. The burger was made exactly how we ordered (medium rare). Also huge and delicious but also in need of an aioli for an extra kick. Fries are okay- they are thick cut with little salt but definitely filling. Full bar and 6 beers on tap including Sierra Nevada Hazy IPA. Check it out!

Service was fast and friendly. Menu looked promising with elote fries and chips and queso. Two drinks and two apps including tip costs $40-$60. What arrived at the table was movie theatre queso with what looked like canned Pace salsa and shake chips. That same case drenched the elote fries and three whole cherry tomatoes as garnish. Considering the price and menu explanation I expected atleast homemade salsa and queso. Definitely would not recommend.

Forced to find a spot to eat after United Airlines made the flight delay announcement (seventh delay of the day). After an hour of walking aimlessly at the airport looking for a place to eat, we arrived at 1300 Fillmore. At 9pm, the restaurant was half filled with weary travelers and running at full capacity. We were seated shortly and greeted by one of the sweetest and most energetic person working at that time of hour, our waitress. Loved her sense of humor! Fried chicken sandwich: came with chips and a side of cucumber salad like thingy. The cucumber salad consisted of unseasoned cucumber slices half soaked in this vinegar liquid, which had no taste whatsoever. Picked up the sandwich to find a puddle of oil forming on the plate. The chicken was fried beyond my wildest imagination, like something that had gone through numerous cycles of deep fried baptism. Half the sandwich was beyond "crisp".

Avoid. This is a very poor option for a airport meal. Pricey, but that's expected. But even allowing for that, this was substandard and a time sink for low caliber food. Do yourself a favor and avoid entirely. Management of this restaurant--- if you do happen to read these posts. You owe us a dinner for 6. The one you provided was of no value and poorly presented.

Currently waiting over 30 minutes for 2 Tito's mules. Got the western burger with fries, best part being the fries. Burger brioche buns was dry like it was from yesterday . There was a bachelor party that came in 20 minutes after us and they all got their drinks before we even got ours. Waiter totally disregarded us. Do not recommend this place at all. If I could give zero stars I would. Absolutely terrible service. But hey it was only $75 for two drinks and a burger with fries... sarcasm

If I could do zero I would 35 mins to get a drink and finally had to go to the waitress to get a drink and at the same time she tells me after 35 mins that they don't have one of our items. Going to have take my food to go now

So we are on our honeymoon and got to the airport so early that our gate was not open. Then I saw the sign for 1300 on Fillmore which was a premiere upscale soul food restaurant in San Francisco which closed. Now it opened three years ago in SFO. We had just eaten and ordered only the corn bread basket with honey butter and pepper jelly. I wanted the Berry Sip but our waitperson said that honestly it was the only drink on the menu that wasn't that good. So I had Dark & Stormy, Bacardi Black Rum, Lime Juice, and Ginger Beer and my wife, Natalie had Tito's Mule, Tito's Vodka, Ginger Beer, and Lime. Great drinks, great service, great corn bread. The ambience was standard airport, not soulful at all. In the international terminal if you are looking.

Located at SFO's United International terminal, this restaurant/bar is ideal for: - Enjoying a quick drink/bite to eat while you wait for your flight. - Nursing some liquid courage before you board the plane (if you're one of those folks who isn't crazy about flying). I swung by here recently before my departure to Paris. I had some time to kill, and a stiff cocktail seemed like a nice way to start my vacation. I saddled up at the bar and ordered a Last Word (gin, maraschino liqueur, green chartreuse). For those of you who don't know this drink, it packs quite a punch. They call it the Last Word for a reason. One or two of these will put you down for the count in no time (which, if you think about it, is ideal for a 12 hour flight). Although not inexpensive ($18), the drink was large and potent, and it did the trick. As soon as I boarded my plane, I closed my eyes, and woke up a few hours later drooling on my neck pillow. On a side note: I just want to say that I will always fondly remember the original 1300 on Fillmore restaurant back in the Pac Heights/Jazz District area. They always served soulful food, drinks, and entertainment. I was sad to read that it recently closed. Though I am pleased to know that this airport restaurant/lounge is keeping 1300's spirit alive. I guess you call this place the "spirit of the sky."

Located at the very end of Terminal G, this is a bright and airy space with an open seating bar. The wait for a table was about 15 min, so plan ahead if you really want to eat here before a flight. I grabbed a cocktail from the bar and the bartender was funny, friendly, and lifted our spirits *ha* before our long haul over to London. "Cool as a Cucumber" features fresh muddles cucumber and Hendrick's gin. My 2 favorites in 1 glass. Didn't see too many, if any veggie options, but a drink was all I needed. Settled into the flight very nicely afterwards.

My husband and I were looking for a fun place to celebrate our 10yr anniversary before our flight. Unfortunately, the service was exceedingly slow and not at all warm, the food took long enough that we were worried about our flight despite being very early, and the food was really mediocre, especially for the price. My husband warned against the espresso martini but I didn't listen. It was undrinkably sweet (but I stubbornly drank it). Definitely wouldn't recommend.

The original restaurant closed in the Fillmore District when Yoshi's-SF closed. So I was pleased to see it at SFO before my flight. Solid for an airport restaurant. The menu changed a little bit but they still have some of the classics like the Catfish Poboy, Shrimp & Grits and the Fried Chicken sandwich. Also friendly and quick customer service. You can certainly get a full meal within 30 minutes of your flight. -The shrimp & grits were good! My only complaint was there were too many onions. I counted at least 3 kinds of onions in the dish (red, white and green). But hey, they say onions are the soul of creole food. -Fried Chicken sandwich was my favorite! Crispy, crunchy, juicy and a little bit of spice w/ the jalapeño coleslaw. But the real MVP was the brioche bun! There's nothing worst than soggy bread on a sandwich. That's not the case with this bun. Thick, toasted well, tasty and built to last from the first to last bite.

Had a 5 hour layover on our way to our Grwnd French Adventure and decided to spend some time enjoying a light lunch before our long flight.1300 on Fillmore was in our boarding area and looked good, so, why not? We asked what the soup of the day was a know and our waiter replied "Potato Soup. Oh, it has cheese and bacon on top." Sounded good... When it was served, it turned out to be OMG amazingly good!! My husband claims "the best potato soup I've ever eaten!" Chef David Lawrence provided us the recipe and our culinary adventure commences!! Thank you 1300 on Fillmore! And the Dark and Stormy was tasty too!

Before our flight to Tahiti, we decided upon lunch at 1300 on Fillmore. The menu looked great. We placed our order and waited for our food. My husbands burger arrived and he enjoyed it. My food never arrived. It was time to leave for our flight so we told the server to cancel my order since we had to leave. She said Ok, brought us the check and we paid. She then arrived with my meal and said it was "comped". I took a bite and packed it up to take with us. Someone came out from the kitchen telling us we had to pay. We tried to explain the situation but she took the box of food away from us. Definitely poor customer service. The food was totally wasted at that point. Will not return.

Very good for airport food. Had the braised beef and they were kind enough to give me a side salad instead of the other three options it comes with. The beef was tender and you don't even need a knife to pulll it apart. Salad was fresh and the dressing was perfect. My waitress had a smile all the time. I got in and out super fast. Fair prices (for an airport).

I was extremely hungry at the air port and this place was the closest to my gate so I decided to eat here. First, the waitress was extremely rude like she had some place better to be! I ordered a chicken sandwich for my husband and I to share, and when it arrived it was under cooked and lacked flavor, I waved the waitress down to let her know so we could order something different but her attitude was so awful I decided to not order anything, pay for our drinks and leave. Needless to say I will not be returning here next time I'm at SFO!

We got one final drink here before boarding our 17 hour flight. I had the cucumber drink. It was really tasty! The only downside was that you're at an airport in San Francisco, so it was pretty expensive ($14) a cocktail. Overall, not bad though!

Tasty southern-style Cuisine represented at this trendy Airport Restaurant. I ordered the beef short rib which was delicious. threads of beef fell apart with the slightest touch. Mac and cheese was on point! Crunchy crust and cheesy. One of the better mac and cheese I've had in a restaurant. The side salad was tasteless, the hummus was delicious. Waitress was very busy but polite and precise.

Wow. Worst airport food ever and the price is astronomical. I assume they have a fancy restaurant in SF... I would NEVER step foot in based on this junk at the airport. Gross!!! Stale chips. I think the burger was from McDonald's. They put half a sliver of avocado and called it $26.

You can tell the people who work here hate their jobs and unfortunately take it out on their customers. So many eye rolls from multiple servers. Also, the photo attached to this review is their idea of hush puppies. Clearly, these are not hush puppies. When I pointed this out to the waitress she tried to argue with me telling me they their version of hush puppies. Na. One star. Bs.

A good option at the terminal. But that particular day, they closed the kitchen soon. Although we were able to order our stuff, but some travelers didn't get to. Friendly staff and good service

SCREW THIS PLACE!!!! I ordered my food with an hour and 15 minutes time to spare before my flight boarded. Kept checking in with the waiter who claimed there was a 30 minute window. An hour and 15 minutes is a double plus the 30 minute window. Had to leave with no food because we never received it. Now going on a 12 hour international flight with an empty stomach.

What a disappointing airport bar experience. Recently, my husband and I had a few hours to kill before our flight so we decided to settle in at a bar, watch the football game, drink and be merry. However, upon approaching this bar there were no prices listed on their drink menu and once we did ask they couldn't tell us overall how much things are but based on whichever bottle we wanted to know about. How annoying to not be able to compare prices. We ended up just getting a table and buying a bottle of wine since we had so much time. Our waiter was really nice and attentive, that is the only reason I'm giving this place 2 stars. We also ordered some food which wasn't very good. The chicken wings didn't have a particularly good flavor and the fried oakra was a little bland.

I haven't been ripped off like this in a long time. A plate full of tator tots a little scrambled eggs and bacon shavings , two pieces of cold toast and lousy service all for $60 for two. an $8 breakfast for $20 plus $6 coffe. Ridiculous and robbery typical at SFO airport . Do not patronize this lousy place

Bought 4 burgers to go, right before a flight. $95, yikes. But that's expected airport prices. Sorry, but the burgers were God awful, nobody finished theirs. Despite cheese, bun, ketchup, etc contributing their flavors the only thing that could be tasted was char. It was as if they replaced salt with ashes. I felt robbed. I cannot recommend you order here (to go at least), if you do, taste the food before you go. It may be burned to heck. The fries were above average tasty at least.

I understand airports are a lawless place but this place takes the cake. Not only are there only two waitresses for the entire restaurant but you have to order yourself and you're forced to tip 18% or more. Everything is over priced and vegetarian options are slim if any. We literally had to get up and leave after 15 minutes of sitting there waiting for someone to come help us. when someone finally did walked by. She asked if we needed help and we were played. Yes and she straight up walked away and didn't come back. It was laughable. I don't recommend this place.
