Eat Americana

Good spot for breakfast although I wished they’d open a bit earlier. I had the biscuits in gravy, which were good and really filling. We also ordered the banana bread pudding French toast with was a good contrast to the richness of the biscuits and gravy. Service was good and food came out pretty quick. If you’re in the area it’s a good spot for American breakfast.

Eat americana is a great spot for breakfast and brunch, offering both indoor and covered outdoor seating. The friendly staff and welcoming owner, who personally greeted and seated us, added a nice touch. Portobello mushroom fries were crunchy and paired well with the cilantro dipping sauce. We tried the half-size Bread pudding french toast, which was perfectly balanced—not too sweet, with real maple syrup, cream, and fresh fruit. Pulled pork sandwich was also impressive, with tender pork complemented by coleslaw and pickles. Portion sizes are fair for the price, making it a good value. Overall, I loved the cozy atmosphere, and I can’t wait to return and try more dishes!

I’ve been here twice for brunch and it was so good both times! Delicious breakfast staples like pancakes, sausage and hash browns. The staff is so kind and attentive. Very affordable too.

A favorite place to meet friends for lunch because of great service and good affordable food. The Short Rib Lasagna is not to be missed!

A no nonsense diner with some of the best diner food you'll experience anywhere. When you walk by Eat Americana, you wouldn't know every dish is incredibly well done. The dishes may sound common but the presentation and taste is nothing but. Some of our many many favorites include: Short rib lasagna Green chili mac n cheese Goat cheese stuffed risotto cake Biscuit and grave with egg and panko encrusted friend chicken And the leftovers (we take home extras) are great the next day. Add to it the attentive, friendly service, this should be on your list of places to eat at, whether you are a local or in town to visit Golden Gate Park or Ocean Beach.

Awesome spot for lunch with very reasonable prices for the quality of the food. We were pretty hungry so some dishes felt small, but assuming you've eaten breakfast, it was just the right amount. Not much of a wait, but also not too too many seating spots.

As we read before arriving today for lunch, the food WAS elevated at this restaurant. We shared the green chili mac and.cheese dish and salmon entree and our kids had the fried chicken sandwich and the bacon beef burger (and fries). It was ALL delicious. Our picky kids ate to capacity, the mac and cheese and salmon dishes were prepared perfectly and last but not least, the French fries were incredible! Although we did not get the server's name, wlhe was SO KIND, INCREDIBLY PERSONABLE, SWEET and EFFICIENT! Don’t miss this family-oriented hideaway on your next visit to the Balboa neighborhood!!

Enjoyed the atmosphere outside. Unpretentious, relaxed vibe, tarps shielding a bit of the wind - heater to stay cozy, pop music in the background. Food was excellent, especially the chicken katsu. Also greatly enjoyed the smores sundae. Eric was respectful, accommodating and responsive.

Delicious food, fair price point, awesome service, what more can you ask for? I highly suggest their breakfast items, as it's what they are known for. The breakfast burrito is huge and packs a strong pepper flavor. Pancakes are perfect, and hash browns are crispy. You already know I'm coming back for their biscuits too. Their service stands out, and it's always a bonus to be supporting a mom and pop shop in the neighborhood!

Everything I have had from here has been great, my favorite things to order are the short rib hash, green chilli Mac and cheese, and fried chicken sandwich. Only thing is that every time I'm craving this place, it's closed! But whenever I'm the stars aligned it's one of the first places I'll get something from!

Amazing pulled pork waffle fries, the fries themselves have seasoning, the pulled pork w/ nacho cheese on top is a huge plus! Get the bread pudding french toast, it's so much better than normal french toast and comes with tons of fruit! I will ask for syrup on the side next time since with the whipped cream it was already sweet enough, the syrup made the bread pudding french toast sickly sweet at the bottom where it all pooled in the plate. Good service and friendly staff!

Very casual location but amazing food items with impeccable service. My go to is the short rib lasagna and also the tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwich. I love their French fries too. This is pictures of my to go order.

The Service was warm and welcoming & friendly. Even better was the tasty food. Family run place!

Eat Americana staff is very friendly, attentive, and welcoming with a very wholesome family-feel. Interior of the restaurant is simple and functional, but a little outdated. But hey, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it", right? We stopped by on a weekend late morning craving breakfast items. We had two orders of the Farm Egg Breakfast Plate (two eggs any style with hash browns), one side of bacon, one side of pork sausage links, and an iced Vietnamese coffee. Hash browns were nice and crispy, eggs standard, pork sausages very juicy, and bacon nice and crispy. Food was simple, greasy, and fills you up. It's nothing worth going out of the way for, but if you're already in the area, it does the job of getting you full.

Just ate here for the first time and it was a wonderful experience! The service was excellent and the food was delicious, plus the environment was super welcoming. I will definitely be coming back!

I suppose I give more 5 star reviews than some people; I think it's because I do my homework first. I know basically what I want, take advice from Yelp reviews, and study menus online before ordering. That was how I discovered Eat Americana. At 11am I wasn't sure whether I wanted breakfast or lunch. Eat Americana offered both. It already has hundreds of 5 star reviews. And it was barely within walking distance of where I was staying. I ordered a veggie reuben sandwich with fries. The reuben was perfect: chewy portobello mushrooms, tart sauerkraut, and melted cheese with a russian-style spread. The fries were crisp, golden, plentiful, and lightly seasoned. My server, Tony, was attentive but unobtrusive. As I ate, a steady stream of regulars came in to pick up lunch to go, and were often greeted by name. I will be back!

Great food, beautifully presented by friendly wait staff, in a pretty setting. Excellent value for $.

Food was phenomenal. The short rib has had sautéed onions, peppers, hash browns with an ample amount of short ribs. The breakfast burrito consisted of cheese, hashbrowns, sausage eggs and peppers which were amazing. The pancakes were good but nothing to write home about. The fruit tray was amazing, had raspberries, blueberries, bananas, strawberries topped with an American flag!

My husband had been craving to eat burger at Eat Americana. So today we went for lunch at this restaurant. We got our table where my husband & I were sitting side by side facing the street. The dining room is small but we saw people really enjoying their meal and company. A woman brought us two glasses of water right away. After we reviewed the menu, I called the attention of the woman that we were ready to order. The room arrangement has the open kitchen and blocking our table. The server came and it was the owner, Tony. I told him that I recognized him from the Yelp posted pictures. I told my husband as well. We ordered the Portobello Mushroom Fries for starter. It came first and we ate it for the first time. Tony told us the breaded mushroom with cilantro sauce. And it was delicious when dipped in the sauce. My husband ordered the Impossible Burger Time and I ordered the Veggie Rueben (Portobello mushroom). My husband added the French Fries. He said his burger is juicy and flavorful. My portobello burger was appetizing. So far the meal was savory. Tony visited our table checking on how were we doing. We support local businesses establishments in the neighborhood so we shall return. I recommend this restaurant.

This place is a hoot. I didn't know what to think when going to get dinner here with a friend and upon walking up to this quaint eatery with the name Eat Americana. The name is sort of funky, too, when you think about it. You go inside and find that the eating areas are mostly in the front and at the rear of where the serving counter narrows the restaurant. The owners and employees are very welcoming. Eat Americana's menu is also kind of quirky. There is an all-day breakfast (this is normal at many places) and then, diagonally across the menu, are the more dinner-like items. I was really hungry and tried to stick to the tradition of dinner food at dinnertime. However, I asked the apparent proprietor which would be more filling - dinner items such as the Philly cheesesteak or the breakfast burrito. (The short rib lasagna also sounded interesting.) He steered me toward the breakfast burrito. Upon being delivered to the table, the breakfast burrito was a feast for the eyes. It was a filling and loaded burrito. It was also delicious. I ordered coffee with my meal, which they refilled as needed. My friend quietly chowed down on the platter with the omelette and (breakfast) potatoes and also stated that the food was very good. Upon looking at the map, Eat Americana is in the Outer Richmond and practically at the Pacific Ocean! It sits just slightly south of Geary, and is about halfway between Lincoln Park and Golden Gate Park. The neighborhood is a nice one, but easy parking isn't a shoe-in. It might take some work to find that free spot. Also, here's a handy way to remember how the Richmond and the Sunset areas relate to Golden Gate Park's large footprint: R (as in Richmond) precedes S (as in Sunset) and, using "similar" logic, the Richmond is above Golden Gate Park while the Sunset is below it. Eat Americana is a solid diner in a much quieter part of San Francisco. I'm glad I got the chance to eat here and would be very willing to eat here again.

I came here for brunch, and the workers here are the nicest! For my appetizer, I had the portobello mushroom fries. These were so crispy, and the dipping sauce that came with it was amazing! For my main, I had the short rib hash. To my surprise, there were 4 or 5 big chunks of short rib. I thought it would be shredded and incorporated with the potatoes that way. Nevertheless, it had great flavor and was very tasty. I almost missed this place because there was a huge wooden board that covered the windows. It also made the interior a little dark.

Straight up friendly diner. The food is a little better than the typical diner. Will bookmark this place & try a fee other dishes.

Popped in for apps before our dinner down the street with an extraordinary wait; quite the opposite at Eat Americana. An unassuming diner tucked away in the Inner Richmond, this is a classic diner vibe that gives serious homage to all things SF. Super affordable and hearty dishes, though the menu needs some updating (we noticed Anchor Steam listed under the beer section). We only snagged the brussel sprouts, which were crispy and tender but not too soggy, and the buffalo wings, which also had a perfect crisp to them with the right amount of sauce. Both perfectly cooked! I wouldn't come back just for those dishes alone, but would want to try the other menu items. Our server was overly gracious and funny, but was a bit slow to come to us and we weren't sure how to pay at the end of our meal. It was late on a weeknight so they were also wrapping up, so I'm totally understandable of the divided attention. While the bathroom was clean and fully stocked, it was difficult to navigate to around some of the crates of food; the use of space past the dining room felt a bit crammed for guests to have access to.

Eat americana is a great spot for breakfast and brunch, offering both indoor and covered outdoor seating. The friendly staff and welcoming owner, who personally greeted and seated us, added a nice touch. Portobello mushroom fries were crunchy and paired well with the cilantro dipping sauce. We tried the half-size Bread pudding french toast, which was perfectly balanced--not too sweet, with real maple syrup, cream, and fresh fruit. Pulled pork sandwich was also impressive, with tender pork complemented by coleslaw and pickles. Portion sizes are fair for the price, making it a good value. Overall, I loved the cozy atmosphere, and I can't wait to return and try more dishes!

I've been coming here for years now. The food is great and Tony and crew are the nicest people in the world. They have indoor and outdoor dining options and are dog friendly as a result. The Poor Man's Steak Frites is probably my favorite but there are a number of standouts on the menu, which does change occasionally. The risotto cakes are another great option if you're out feeling meat. They also always offer burgers with an Impossible option.

For reasons that I won't really explain in an intelligible way, Eat Americana reminds me of the Charlie Daniels Band's "The Devil Went Down to Georgia." If you know the lyrics to that song, you *might* be able to figure out what I'm getting at, but you probably won't, and don't worry, it's not your fault; it's mine. I'm a horrible writer. Oh, and the name has nothing to do with Georgia or Southern Acts like the Charlie Daniels Band. So this was the place. I love this neighborhood. Who knew it had places like Eat Americana? I'm always so enamored of Simple Pleasures that I never spend enough time at other places around here. Maybe if I move to the Outer Richmond one day--ha!--I'll become such a regular that Simple Pleasures will become merely my Tuesday destination. The menu is pretty varied, and I like that. In fact, there are times I just want to eat a stick-to-your-ribs meal in San Francisco, but I'm worried that it will be too expensive or that it will be so far out that there will be nowhere to park or that--I don't know what else I'm worried about. I worry about everything, which does refer directly to the first line of the song. Pay attention! Everything ended up fine. My omelet was delicious, although I had no idea I would be having breakfast for dinner, and that's unusual for me--not *knowing* I'm going to have breakfast for dinner; I often do have breakfast for dinner, and I usually crave it beforehand, which is how I end up at places where I know it's possible, places which are way too few and far between in San Francisco. The service is top notch. The owner (?) took our order, answered important questions, made pertinent suggestions based on our questions, and prepared (for me at least) food that didn't mess with digestion. We stayed kind of late, but they didn't hurry us out even though they were within their rights to. I don't know whether Eat Americana is a destination worth driving all the way from the Mission for, but it's definitely a destination for an Outer Richmond staycation. In fact, I'd venture that it's a destination for the entire Avenues. (Don't let Golden Gate Park and the hill dissuade you.)

Great food and very friendly staff. Not your typical diner menu, they try to give you something special. Ate here all the time when I lived nearby.

Some people to smile at work because they feel they should. That was not the case here, as I could see how grateful the staff were in their eyes and genuine smiles. The food was good. I suggest getting the fries even if you order a meal. The seasoning is really good and the fries are addictive. All of the uneaten food was boxed up for me with a smile.

Best chilaquiles we've had, best French toast we've had, excellent service (one of the ladies who work here even came over and wiped some food off of my baby's face! ), and overall perfect breakfast experience!! We are so coming back! Just wanted to thank the restaurant for making our Sunday morning spectacular!

First time tonight, and wow good to find places where breakfast menu is all day! They treated the dish like a gourmet Southern gift! First bite I wanted to KISS the owner (i believe) who recommended..Fresh Baked Bicuits Sausage gravy and eggs, ..eggs also cooked perfect!

We had a wonderful time at Eat Americana yesterday- my boyfriend his mother and myself. I got the Thai iced tea and Impossible burger with fries. We also got the Brussels sprouts and they were able to make the breakfast burrito with avocado instead of sausage. Everything was brought out promptly and nice and hot. The service was excellent and the food was delicious I can't wait to be back!!

Came here after walking Land's End since our brunch standby, the Cliff House, permanently closed down. Immediately after we sat in their clean parklet, we were given impeccable service. The waiter answered all of our questions about dietary restrictions, and when I asked to omit sausage in my breakfast burrito, it was recommended that I sub avocado (usually I have to beg for that sort of thing!). The breakfast burrito, like all good burritos, was at least as big as my forearm, and it was DELICIOUS. Perfectly crisped tortilla and really fresh ingredients. The rest of my friends enjoyed their food as well, and I'm really happy to have supported this longtime neighborhood business!

Absolutely LOVE !! Such a hidden gem in the Richmond area I feel like it never gets the recognition that it truly deserves. It's a little hole in the wall so don't expect all the frills cause the thrill comes from their wide variety of dishes. I'm obsessed with their short rib hash, I suggest you try it if you're in the area !! Service is always soooo sweet I love the lady here she takes such great care of all her patrons

The food is delicious (veggie reuben is so worth it) and the service is prompt and friendly. Definitely a great neighborhood spot!

Small neighborhood diner with unbelievably friendly and hospitable staff! There's indoor seating, as well as outdoor seating in the parklet out front. We came in around 12PM and were seated immediately. I was having a hard time deciding on what to order, so my server helped me decide with the poor man's steak frites! I'm glad he recommended it since it tasted amazing! It was a burger patty on fries with a gravy that tasted like cream of mushroom. The menu is on the smaller side, so you're limited with what you can order. I don't think I'd come back often since the food is a bit on the oilier side for me, but I definitely recommend checking this place out!

Eat Americana is our absolute favorite spot for breakfast and brunch. They have the nicest and sweetest staff ever, super friendly and always make us feel welcome and cared for. Their food is amazing, super tasty and they can help accommodate my gluten sensitivity. They are the best! We've had: biscuits and gravy, breakfast burrito, short rib hash, Philly cheesesteak, and the French toast bread pudding. All so good 10/10

This was our first time at Eat Americana and we're already trying to plan our next visit! The food was very fresh and the service was amazing. We can't wait to bring our friends! I also love the fact that breakfast is served all day.

I really enjoyed their short rib hash. The hash browns were crispy, the beef was tender, and the sunny-side-up eggs tied everything together perfectly. Excellent service as well.

Opened at 11am and then people started to trickle in after we placed our order. Glad we came in a bit earlier cause I could see how they would get busy. Our server was really friendly. We sat outside to enjoy the sunny SF weather. 8/10 Pulled Pork Waffle Fries - great tasting food if you're into substantial amount of meat smothered in cheese. It makes for a good hangover food 8/10 Sweet Potato Tater Tots - piping hot. They were firm in texture. It was served with a small cup of cool ranch. It tasted like what you would expect in a sweet potato tots. It's a nice brunch/lunch place to hangout with a date or friends.

Good food, good sized portions, at a reasonable price. Great breakfast! The owner was kind enough to wrap our food to go as we ordered too much.

Such a good place to grab food at. I was recommended it by a friend and since then I have become the friend to recommend it to everyone! There were a few of us so we placed an order to pick up and it was all ready in 25 minutes. The workers/possible owners? were so sweet and helped carry everything out to the car. Please try it out if you can the bread pudding and pulled pork fries are amazing!

My friend brought me here, and we ordered the California omelet, Pumpkin pancakes, and Portobello mushroom fries. Everything was amazing! I even had to order another serving of mushroom fries to go. The servers were friendly and took great care of us. I'll definitely be back.

Excellent "served all day" breakfast and lunch items, then some additional items at dinner. Very nice people. Food is always great. We sat inside, it was comfortable. There is a nice parklet if you want to sit outside on warmer days). I had the BAT omelette and my guest had the short ribs hash. Both wonderful.

We came here after a walk in lands end and it was the perfect place for brunch. The staff are really friendly and the food was delicious. We both ordered breakfast burritos that I would recommend!

Everyone was so incredibly nice and the food was great! We will definitely be going again when in San Francisco. We had Pulled Pork Waffle Fries, Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup, Chicken Katsu, and a burger. It was all amazing!

My fam and I LOVE Eat Americana! This is our go to place for birthday celebrations, trips to SF, or for just because. The food is amazing(bread pudding, short rib hash, chicken katsu) the service is attentive and friendly. It's a tiny place , which is what we like. We highly recommend!

my favorite in this area. the food is amazing, try the green chili mac and cheese! Will definitely be returning!

The pan roasted salmon comes over a bed of spinach and with a side of beets, with which they make a delicious sauce. Can't wait to try some of their other dishes.

Recently came back to try other items. Short wait via signup list; outdoor seating available which is awesome because I came with my pup. Hb had to attend something and couldn't join us, so it was just me and my little (cute) monster. I don't know if alcohol played a part, but wow, my brunch was so delicious. The runny eggs on top of the country biscuit with that yummy gravy. Wow! Did I say wow twice? Now 3x??!? And the fried chicken with its panko crispy crust. So good! I love the sangria, red wine, Pom juice, and whatever else in there. Definitely not low carb but ahmazing! It's Saturday, I'm going to enjoy it.

Wow. Their stone fruit salad is SO good. I ordered it in and ate half of it before I realized I didn't add the dressing. The dressing is soooo good. I've also had the pudding French toast and it's outta this world. Lastly, I tried the Brussels sprouts and they're amazing. 10/10

We were biking around Golden Gate Park and were craving a restaurant that had a variety of options, tasty food and outdoor eating so we could be near our bikes. Upon entering (after browsing the menu online) I was greeted by the owner in an extremely friendly manner who was happy to take our order fairly close to closing time (about 40 minutes). I almost went with a breakfast option as I was excited to see that they had a "breakfast all day" option, but I'm glad that I got my tomato soup and grilled cheese on a colder SF evening. Our food came out quickly, fresh and full of flavor! Once we took a bite of our food it seemed it was gone, so we'll definitely have to return! The prices were resonable and the staff was great. Keep up the good work!

food and service was nice. even gave me a water bowl for my dog. friendly owner. i would return when in the area didnt take pictures of the food because i was too busy enjoying it lol

Decent neighborhood diner. Good selections on the menu from traditional breakfast dishes to sandwiches and other items. The short rib scramble was good, but the dish included hot sauce, which is a pet-peeve for me personally. Good service, and I do like their menu and would consider going back, but hot sauce should be always be served on the side.

A fantastic breakfast at an affordable price! The homemade buttermilk biscuit on the Country Biscuit Plate is perfectly buttery, and the fried chicken add-on is a great choice. The service was excellent as always. Keep up the great work!

Came in during OSL so they were busy. The server was very nice and explained how busy they were. I appreciated the honest feedback. They were attentive and helpful when deciding what to order. We ordered sangria that was a bit more juicy than I normally like. All the food was good. I enjoyed the pulled pork waffle fries. The biscuit was fresh and tasty.

Still fabulous for their pulled pork waffle fries! It felt good to return here with a friend of mine to share a plate of it with her.

Good food, good service and dog friendly parklett, they even gave my dog water! Such a cute neighborhood spot!
