Bandit

"This neighborhood favorite is tucked beneath an unlikely nail salon sign and down the way from Liholiho Yacht Club. But people fell so in love with the breakfast sandwiches — including the eponymous Bandit featuring Muenster cheese and thick-cut bacon — that the shop opened a second location on 18th and Dolores Street in 2023." - Lauren Saria, Dianne de Guzman, Paolo Bicchieri

"Where better to go for a breakfast sandwich than a breakfast sandwich specialist? This Tenderloin burger joint has a whole menu of breakfast sandwiches, and they’re available all day. Connoisseurs may want to eat their way through the entire list, but it’s hard to go wrong with the gut-busting Brekkie, which features scrambled eggs, a pork sausage patty, cheddar, smashed tater tots, caramelized onions, and jalapeño relish on a brioche bun. Still hungry? Get a side of unsmashed tots for good measure." - Paolo Bicchieri, Luke Tsai, Eater Staff

"If you’ve had one then you already know Bandit, the Tenderloin restaurant, makes some of the best breakfast sandwiches in San Francisco." - Lauren Saria

"I was stuck at home for a good chunk of last week, essentially transported back in time to those early pandemic days when your dining options come down to two things: delivery or whatever myriad groceries you happen to have on hand. Lucky for me, there’s no shortage of excellent delivery options in San Francisco (don’t forget to tip your drivers!) including Bandit, the Tenderloin breakfast sandwich specialist. So midway through my isolation and extremely sick of cooking my own food, I had the supreme pleasure of starting another day at home with the Petty Cash, a platonic ideal of a breakfast sandwich starring a chive-flecked scrambled egg patty — tender, neither over- nor under-cooked — and a melted slice of cheddar cheese on a smooshy brioche bun. And in a feat of food delivery prowess, the tots even arrived hot and crispy." - Eater Staff
