16th Street Diner

I went here to dinner tonight with my eleven year old*, we both absolutely loved it! Our waiter was super nice and got us an extra chair when our neighbor came in to chat for a little. But more importantly the food was AMAZING!!! It came with a nice little appetizer (which to be clear, was also delicious.) then they brought out the main meal which was a Caesar salad and fish and chips. The ambiance was pretty casual, so I wouldn't recommend showing up here wearing your "finest clothes" or anything like that. The food could be served at a fancy restaurant and I wouldn't be able to tell the difference though . Overall this place is amazing, I highly recommend coming here with or without kids of any age. Five stars!*Review written by my kid but I approve :)

Excellent halal food! The one and only halal diner in the SF Bay Area. Super super super steak and eggs. Eggs done perfectly, super delicious potatoes, and I think the steak speaks for itself! Best thing, all of their chicken and meat is hand slaughtered halal (if that's your preference). Don't sleep on this place, it's a gem. Their fried chicken + French toast and Philly cheesesteak are also very delicious.

3.5 stars, but I will round up to 4 since they are new.Was excited to see that a proper diner has opened up in the neighborhood. Nothing bougie, just basic diner fare. We don't really have that here. Overall, I would say this place was a better fit than the last place in this space. The last place billed itself as an all day neighborhood hangout, but it was really a moderately pricey French restaurant that didn't really hit the right notes. This place seems to fill a niche.Anyways, I came here for lunch. I was pleased that everything on the menu is under $20, which is a rarity in this neighborhood. I ordered the burger. It is a refreshing change of pace to see a $13 burger actually come with cheese on it AND fries and not be an add on. The burger itself was decent, nothing revelatory. It was that typical burger stand style burger. Not thick and juicy, but also not as thin as a smashburger. It didn't have exceptional flavor, but it was fine. I did feel like it was over-sauced. I had a really hard time keeping the burger within the buns without sliding around all over the place. This maneuvering caused the bun (which was actually pretty good to begin with) to sort of collapse on itself. I feel like if the lettuce was not this single sheet, that it may have added some grip to keep everything together. The fries were the perfect thickness and crispness. My only gripe is that they tasted overly oily. Not sure if the grease needed to be changed out? Maybe they double fried them and one of the fries was not hot enough? Overall, they did satisfy the itch.I think this place has the potential to be the type of spot that this neighborhood desperately needs. I feel like the execution could be a bit tighter. It doesn't need to be fancy by any stretch of the imagination but, if they get their grilling down pat and their fryer oil a bit hotter, it could be a real winner.

Great food - ordered an avocado platter! The waiter was very kind. Ambiance made for a very sweet reunion type-vibe with select large tables, and a couple two-seater tables.

I came here with my husband for a quick lunch before my doctor appointment. We both ordered the fried chicken sandwich with fries. The place wasn't busy when we arrived so our food came quickly and it was super hot. In terms of taste, it was delicious but the chicken could be seasoned a little bit more.

Wow. What a find! Searching for avocado toast I came upon this lovely cafe, a bright spot on a run down but safe street. One of the owners, Barat, told me they've only been around a month.Breakfast & Burger people unite at 16th Street Diner. You'll thank me.Don't expect a greasy spoon, the exterior is clean & bright, a warm & friendly cafe vibe.No burritos here, rather toasts, omelettes, griddle, burgers, salads & cheesecake. Fresh squeezed orange juice. Stash brand tea, & of course a selection of coffees.So far I've reviewed 30 cafes & their avocado toast. This diner is without a doubt in the top 3. Two slices of bread that's actually toasted! A generous portion of creamy, ripe avocado on both slices, topped with cherry tomatoes & chili flakes. I added a fried egg, made to order, with a side of beef bacon which was thick and chewy. Did you catch that? Two slices of bread! $10.99. I've paid anywhere from $7.99 to $20 for one slice of bread with varying amounts of avocado. For San Francisco, you're getting value for your $$.Let's support these people & their delicious food. Destination dining. Afterward check out the many stores on Valencia Street & Clarion Alley murals, just around the corner.Support Local!

5 stars bc it does what it promises - affordable, no nonsense brunch food in cozy/small diner feel! The orange juice was so so fresh, and the breakfast potatoes were perfect (salty, buttery, and slightly charred bellpepper). Toast and avocado were standard but good, and my friends enjoyed the their breakfast sandwiches/plates too! Service was pretty fast and friendly - excited to have this in the neighborhood!

I ordered a mission street platter which consisted of 2 eggs any style, potatoes, 3 piece beef bacon, and toast. I ordered a side of fruit also. ¡Muy delicioso! the waiter was nice, and attended to our every need! Ambiance was quite alright with me!

An absolutely amazing breakfast here. Food was so tasty, fresh & flavorful. I easily found parking on the side street. Enjoyed a nice cup of hot green tea while eating. Service was impeccable. Bathrooms sparkling clean.

the food was amazing and the service was very welcoming. i'm definitely planning to come back
