Comfort food favorites like fried chicken and meatloaf
"We go to this downright charming Mediterranean restaurant in Bernal Heights to soak in the everybody-knows-your-name energy, and some phenomenal fried chicken. Their version is tenderized in a jalapeño-infused buttermilk, resulting in textbook tender chicken thighs flaunting a craggly, herby crust. A side salad and buttermilk dipping sauce complete the meal that’s likely to make you a regular." - julia chen 1, patrick wong
"If you haven’t guessed at this point, if a restaurant patio is lush and plant-filled, it's certainly on this guide. Another one is Blue Plate. The casual Bernal Heights spot is a neighborhood staple and has a charming backyard with dim lighting, heaters, and lots of greens. Forget about the rat race going on outside while you dine on comfort food like smoked trout deviled eggs, black truffle risotto, or some of the best fried chicken ever." - lani conway, julia chen 1, ricky rodriguez, patrick wong
"Blue Plate is a cozy Bernal Heights meet-up spot. The multiple dining rooms look like the inside of someone's house and the flower-filled backyard is intimate. Soak in the patio while you get into deviled eggs, smoked trout, meatloaf, fried chicken, and, really, anything from the Mediterranean-influenced American menu." - julia chen 1, lani conway
"Bernal Heights’ Blue Plate has kept the community fed for more than 25 years, and the restaurant’s outdoor dining is not to be slept on. The heated back patio turns magical at night with trees creating a canopy overhead and heaters to keep everyone warm. Those classic smoked trout deviled eggs taste all the better when one isn’t shivering at a picnic table out back." - Dianne de Guzman
