Perry's on Union

What a great find on out short trip to San Francisco this weekend. I had the pot roast as it is an institution in of itself and it was delicious. The mashed potatoes were amazing. Hubby had steak sandwich with ceasar salad. He really enjoyed his sandwich and salad was on point. Service was excellent and food came in a timely manner. Highly recommend.

Saturday night at Perry’s on Union Street is almost a San Francisco tradition going back decades. I hadn’t been there in a while and a friend wanted to have dinner there and I happily agreed. I was pleased to see they still make their onion soup so I ordered that along with the steak salad. My friend had the ribs and we shared a bottle of Cabernet that I brought with me. all the food was fine and the service was pretty good considering how busy they were.

Marcos, awesome bartender. Made our experience so good. We’ve been at Dreamforce and very unwelcoming environment. Here was 20 minutes away. So welcoming and quiet. Exactly what we needed. Thank you Marcos, good food & drinks at Perry’s. I had Cadillac margarita 👌

We stopped into Perry's for lunch while we were in the area looking at properties. It felt like a convenient place to take a break and grab a bite in between appointments. The spot itself has a cool, casual vibe and definitely feels like a neighborhood staple. The surrounding area is really nice, and the location adds to the overall experience of being there. The food was okay nothing bad, but nothing that really stood out either. It was solid for lunch, just not something I'd go out of my way to come back for. Overall, Perry's is a decent option if you're nearby and need a reliable place to eat. The atmosphere and neighborhood were the highlights, while the food was more average, making it a fair but not standout experience.

Love the interior design, we ordered salad, they are very Fresh! Great experience. CRUNCHY GRISSINI very crunchy!

So I've learned that Perry's is an institution. People have been coming here for years and it dates back a good ways. While we were there, it was fully packed to the hilt with people having a great time. Julia, our server was amazing, as was the food. I had the Reuben, my friends had the ribs, clam chowder, salads, and Burger. All of it amazing. Tasty drinks from the bar combined with great food and great friends and it makes for a wonderful place!

Went to lunch before a Giants game. The ribs were very good and did not disappoint. The burger was also good. I tried the Bloody Mary but it wasn’t very good. I did ask that it would not be spicy.

Perrys bartenders are so friendly! I like to enjoy my meal at the bar, especially being solo. The food is American classic and very good. I actually met Perry the owner last time I was there.

Perry's is a super cute spot on union street. There's lots of indoor seating and outdoor seating too. The theme is cute with a picnic vibe. I got the tomato soup and the Mac and cheese for food. The Mac and cheese was nice and cheesy and the portion size was great. The pasta pieces were slightly undercooked to me though. The tomato soup was decent but maybe could've had more flavor. I also got French fries on the side. I think if I came back I'd try something else and more vegetarian options on the menu would be nice

Food was okay. Typical American fare. We went for a company even and the best thing about it was that it has private rooms and a lot of seating options. Maybe I shouldn't have gone with a salad? The Cobb was subpar and lacked flavor or salt. Expensive but that's everywhere in San Francisco. I've had better American cuisine elsewhere but overall it's a nice place to dine and bring guests.

After visiting this location, I can officially say that I have dined at every Perry's location! The food and service remains consistent across all locations, but this one hold a special place in my heart seeing that it is the original restaurant. I came with one other person, and we shared the calamari appetizer, the spinach salad with fried goat cheese, and the club sandwich with sweet potato fries. This was truly a delicious lunch! The portion sizes are large so I was able to take half of my sandwich and fries home. They tasted just as good that night for dinner. Perry's is a San Francisco staple that you must check out!

Stopped by for a quick drink and a bite. Was greeted immediately by the bartender. He took my order and made a really nice martini with Bombay, well shaken, with a couple of olives and offered me the menu. I was told the chili was a good choice by a close friend and opted for it. I was also served some nice breadsticks and butter. The chili was tasty and had a nice tang. It wasn't too spicy, but hearty and balanced, and totally hit the spot on a cool day.

Perry's is a classic on Union street and my favorite place to grab a quick dinner with friends before a night out. They make the best classics and you can't really go wrong with any of them! Their French onion soup and clam chowder coming piping hot and delicious. Their clam chowder isn't gloopy or overly fishy! Perry's has the best calamari! I love how they use strips and not the O's! The batter is fresh and hot. Also a major shot out to their onion strings that are my absolute favorite. Everything from the kitchen comes out fresh and hot- the way it should be! Service is always great and don't forget to take a matchbox on your way out!

Hiden Gem Along Union Street. Their outdoor table is great since we have our Baby Dog in a Stroller with us when we walk in the morning. Got the Eggs Benedict .Magnolia Green Salad and Perry's Burger. We're regulars on Chestnut Street But this place is good to stroll too. Id be Back since we live within the neighborhood...

I was craving a great burger and a beer for lunch, and Perry's was just the place! We started with the Grilled Artichoke, which was delicious. However, since it's cut into three pieces, the portions are small. It's easy to share, but I would have preferred it cut in half or left whole. For lunch, I had the Perry's Burger with cheese, avocado, and bacon. That first bite was amazing--it was cooked exactly as I ordered, medium rare. Overall, it was a great experience, and I'll definitely be back!

We were invited to go to a birthday party today here for a party of 18. It is 53 degrees in the city and we have to sit outside when we had reservations that were booked earlier, not today. I ordered the corned beef hash which was very hard to chew, and lacked flavor. Also, we arrived early and when they told us it was onlgboutside seating, we looked at the seats outside under the awning and assumed that we would be seated there in the empyry seats, but with old grandparents, they still made us wait 15 minutes before the old people in our party could be seated. I was so hungry, but could only eat half of my food because it wasn't very good. So, I ate as much as I could to have enough energy to last the meal, then find another place to eat right after.

Amazing food. Great ambience and service. You can eat outside with heaters, or inside. Highly recommended. Our server was Kit and she's so friendly!

I came to Perry's hoping for a solid brunch spot with good drinks and chill vibes, but left feeling... underwhelmed. Let's start with the Bloody Mary. I ordered it twice because I figured maybe the first one was just an off day. First round? So spicy it felt like my taste buds were being pepper-sprayed -- no flavor, just pure heat. Second round? Went the opposite direction and was basically a cup of straight vodka with a sad tomato tint. Honestly, it was like the bartender and I were playing Bloody Mary roulette. Food-wise, the onion rings were fine, but extremely forgettable -- the kind of thing you eat while making small talk and then immediately forget existed. The beet salad, though, is the one bright spot. My friends get it every single time we come here and it's consistently fresh and flavorful, so I can't knock it. The ahi poke? Meh. Not bad, not great, just aggressively average. Service was friendly enough, but I sat outside and barely saw my server after ordering. I get that it's a busy area and outdoor tables are a trek, but it did leave me feeling like an afterthought. The outdoor atmosphere is nice if you want to people-watch or soak in the neighborhood, but for the price and reputation, I expected a lot more consistency from the drinks and food. Perry's has its die-hard fans, but for me, it was a "been there, done that, probably won't rush back" kind of experience.

Perry's was busy during our visit. The burger is what caught hubs' attention. Started with the French onion soup - the broth was thicker than others I've had and it was flavorful. Hubs ordered the burger and he enjoyed it. Fries were crispy. Kiddo ordered the steak sando and I ordered the steak salad. Both were lackluster in flavor - missing seasoning or something.

The French onion soup was amazing as well as the Cobb salad! Great service!! Defiantly bringing the family back

Another great visit! Dropped in during the Union Street Fair and had an awesome time. Excellent customer service, yummy cocktails, and a lively, welcoming vibe. Love this spot--always a solid choice!

Sat in the bar on a busy festival day. A casual, affordable lunch spot, I enjoyed the Onion Strings (feeds 3), Grilled Artichokes and the Sautéed Petrale Sole Meunière.

Perry's is a classic go to! It's reliable and I know I'll enjoy it every time. Most recently I ordered Perry's to go and it didn't disappoint. You know you've been somewhere too many times when you have a go to order! the chicken BLTA with a caesar side salad. I need to shoutout the random lady sitting at the table next to me earlier this summer who ordered a burger with a caesar side salad. I had no idea that was a side option before and at no extra charge! Idk if I'm the only person excited about this but that's ok haha. I can't really comment on the service this time since I did take out but the food was made really fast and it was easy to pick up. As a side note, they had half off bottles of wine in August. Can't wait for their next promo!

Fantastic lunch at Perry's today. Service is always amazing and bar top tables were open. Steak sandwich, burger with blue cheese, everything was delicious. Perry's had a fantastic vibe and is impossible to beat for lunch. Tons of art and history everywhere.

I used to love going to Perrys over the decades. My go to place alone or with others. Exciting to have lunch there this week. So many memories. Food was always good and generous in portions. People watching good. I used to love the 4th seat at the bar. I have photos of me there in 1988 and way before. The neighborhood is bustling again and plenty of shops so nice to stroll there. Great place to bring out of town company or friends just getting together.

A great easy go to restaurant for some comfort food! My usual order is the burger with a side caesar salad (no up charge!). I always get a solid meal here and the service is great, especially sitting at the bar! Some other favorites are their potato poppers, chicken wings, and sweet potato fries.

We order from them about monthly or less thru DoorDash. But tonight the chopped salad was all lettuce and minuscule chicken. The chicken should have been front and center.And it came with no dressing. What ????? I called the restaurant and the lady that answered was soooo impolite. She said: Call DOORDASH. BUT THE PROBLEM WAS PERRY'S.

I love the Cobb salad here. They use a vinaigrette dressing instead of ranch so it's a bit lighter and healthier than most Cobb salad, while still being very filling. It was also very reasonably priced, which is hard to come by in San Francisco. So many over priced salads these days!

Really more of a bar with food. Not super comfortable. Food is ok. The chicken was dry. The best thing were the vegetables (salad and cooked vegetables under the chicken) and the server.

While on union street I would go anywhere but here. Awful service. The host was extremely rude. There are so many better options :)

Food and ambiance are great. I wanted a salad and French onion soup. My server left and after about three minutes came back and told me I over ordered. He actually said that I couldn't eat all of it. I didn't care. I was embarrassed. Since when does a waiter care if i clean my plate? I am 5' 4" 110 lbs. I am not on a budget. I wanted what i wanted! I got my salad and left. I will NEVER GO BACK !!

I was recommended Perry's for their burger and I was not let down-- initially. The first time I had it, it was simply the best burger I ever had. Medium rare, juicy, and beefy. I decided to bring someone over to try it as well and it was not the same! Maybe someone else made it but it was not at all the same! It was completely the opposite, and cold! It was disappointing I could not share the same experience with them. I guess there is just a little bit of inconsistency. The place is real cute though, I love the historical feel.

Our party of six ladies stopped in on a Tuesday for lunch. We were so impressed with the quality of food and the service. Our Waiter Julia was patient and gave great recommendations as far as what to eat. The artichoke appetizer we shared was yummy, the Ruben was huge, the chicken sandwich was moist and the burger cooked to perfection the spicy ribs were delicious and a huge portion. We ate inside and it was crowded yet cozy. We will come here again next time we are visiting the city.

The Beet Salad at Perry's exceeded expectations. The beets were well prepared, the dressing was a strong flavor but not overly heavy and the goat cheese croquettes were a revelation. But why do places never offer a vegetarian protein addition? It's such a blind spot. At least up charge me for something! I asked to sub more croquettes for the avocado and thankfully my server obliged despite hesitating. Otherwise there would only have been two croquettes which would be a dissatisfying ratio. Perry's can you make this a standard option? Including DoorDash? I will order it frequently if so!

Love Perry's! An SF classic. Their wine list is wonderful and they're great for an afternoon cocktail or lunch (grilled chicken BLT) or dinner!

The service was amazing. Kevin behind the bar was great and so was the dish he recommended, the Sole. I came by myself and was never treated awkwardly, as I was on other place on the street.

Literally the worst food I've had in sf, bad service, overpriced. Had a steak with 2 sides, steak tasted like burnt fumes

Came here on a Friday night and made a reservation so we were seated immediately. The vibe of this place is kinda like a dive bar as it was pretty loud and hard to have a conversation due to the loudness. I ordered the French onion soup and the Caesar salad. The French onion soup was really good but the bread inside was kind of soggy and the cheese tasted a bit off for some reason. The Caesar salad was good and I liked the amount of cheese they put on it but wish they had added more croutons. This place was kind of expensive as I ordered two sides that ended up costing around $34 total. Personally, I liked the food but I can't justify the pricing for it as it's a bit too expensive for what you're getting which is why I knocked off a star.

They have a shrimp quesadilla and a steak quesadilla. We asked for one that was half and half. At first they wouldn't do it and finally they said they'd do it for an extra $10. Completely tone deaf.

Absolutely awful. Went there with 5 friends for brunch and it was beyond disappointing. I ordered a Bloody Mary which came in a wine glass with a lemon and didn't taste like a Bloody Mary. The arugula salad was bland - as if they threw arugula from a container and added a few veggies. How on earth does this restaurant stay in business when their food (and service) are that poor? Margie, thank you for your response. The Bloody Mary I was served had none of the things you described (certainly no celery salt on the rim or elsewhere). And when I asked the waitress about it, she was rude. I have never posted a negative review in my life - so you must know for me to do so, it must've been very bad.

Perry's charges 9.1% CA State sales tax But it should be.... CA rate = 7.25% + SF City = 1.35% = TOTAL SALES TAX 8.6%. I'm a regular there and asked them twice to stop charging 9.1% tax when it should be 8.6%, but they won't stop. Perry's makes over $20M in revenues. Any suggestions?...

Every thing so delicious and we have an outdoor table for our party, lovely place to sit and enjoy a nice lunch with friends! We will celebrate the birthday party with our friends again soon!

Walt from Walt's Adventures reporting from San Francisco. I did some adventuring in the city and found myself revisiting Perry's Restaurant. We were immediately seated and just minutes later, we found waters at our tables. My companions each ordered the Southwest and the Cobb Salads. These salads were amazing because there was nothing left but empty bowels at the end of our meal. I ordered the Cheesesteak with red and green peppers. I chose not to include onions nor mushrooms on this venture. The sandwich was cooked to perfection. The peppers were not overwhelming and the meat was flavorful. What impressed me most was the bread. It was toasted just enough that it complemented the meal and wasn't a distraction. My experience with these sandwiches were limited but I will say that any future Cheesesteaks have large plates to fill. Cornbread was my chosen side dish. 4 out of 5 stars because these were savory and did not possess the usual sweetness that one expects with this side. These were incredibly good... warm and filled with dedication of a tenured chef. For my personal tastes, I just prefer sweet over savory. It is obvious that this eatery has not only dedicated itself to treating it's guests like owners but has also focused its soul to providing some of the best food in what will forever be know as... the city

Brunch here is great. Plenty of seating for walk up service. I have the turkey BLT and it was fresh, crisp, and properly sauced. French fries were very fresh. Even though the place was busy my food arrived fast.

Perry's the other evening was great. We had such a great bartender named Sophie, she was so attentive, kind, and funny! Loved getting to sit t the bar with her! Thank you, Sophie! Will come back!

The food at Perry's is always very mid. No blue ribbons about this establishment. That being said, they have a prime location on the beautiful Union Street, which still makes it a treat to visit and sit outside. Maybe just for a drink and not food!

Meh. It's been here so long that they feel it's comforting to keep everything the exact same as the 80's. Yes, it's hot character and flavor. Food is meh. Service is meh. Breadsticks with salted butter are classic Perry's.

Every time we come to San Francisco, which is several times a year, we hit this place on the way out of town for a burger. Just a good old San Francisco bar and restaurant. Good place to watch a game, too.

thanks for this place been coming here for 4 yrs now.. 2 time for anniversary and 2 for my birthday... everything was great even on a busy saturday night.. thanks

We popped in here on a whim after walking down the street. We noticed the outside was pretty busy during the lunch hour, so we walked in and grabbed a seat. The calamari was really good and not rubbery at all. It was perfectly crispy. I ordered a chicken sandwich BLTA, and I believe it came on a brioche bun. The chicken was still warm and juicy. It was layered nicely and tasted delicious! I also found the fries to be perfect. I'm so glad we had lunch here because we really enjoyed the food.

I've been meaning to try this place as it's a staple in the neighborhood and I finally came for dinner on a Friday evening with a friend. We had reservations that were easy to book just a day or two in advance. It was quite crowded and the service was a little spotty as we waited quite a bit to order and a couple different servers asked us for our drink order. Everyone was very friendly though. For food, I got the clam chowder and the club. The club comes with a generous portion of fries as well. Both were good! Also had a cucumber gimlet which was tasty. All in all a solid American food spot.

Had a lovely evening dinner on the patio with my friend. The burgers were some of the best we've had in the city and will definitely be back!

Cutie little place to grab a quick bite to eat on a gorgeous day in the city. We had good service and the food and drinks were great. Definitely didn't feel overly expensive. Would go back!

We came in here after our soul cycle class, famished and ready to eat, and Jan greeted us with a warm smile. I asked to be seated in the VIP section and she said it was only for the most important people, so follow me. ;) What a delight, she needs to get a raise effective immediately, because most people are a pain to deal with, and she left me with a big smile, great job Jan!

Consistently great pub food and friendly service. Friendly patrons from the neighborhood and beyond.

We came here on a whim after doing some window shopping, etc. Thankfully, there was no wait on a Sunday afternoon around 12:30pm. We were surprised at how large a space this location was. The host kept on leading us to the back and seated us in small but nice, covered atrium like space. The staff was very attentive, having brought us water shortly after being seated. Our server came over shortly thereafter and took our drink orders. We later then placed our food order. I was originally craving a breakfast based meal but their offerings were rather limited. In fact, they did not offer the basic breakfast (eggs, protein, potatoes, and bread). So, I decided to try their steak salad. It was filling though very pretty simple, consisting of the steak, greens, red onions, and the wine viniagrette. In retrospect, I should have ordered their burger and fries.

The Sqn Francisco classic still is delivering after all of these years. It is the descendant of the 1960s fern bars. The menu is basically unchanged for 40 years. Keep coming. Keep it simple. We had the burger and a caesar. Both were exactly what they needed to be. Service is busy/brisk so it's best to know what you want and think ahead. Lots of beer and wine offerings. Extra bonus points for the Pliny and Blind Pig on Tap
