Foghorn Taproom

I came here on a weekday night, and this location was pretty empty except for a few passerbyers. I had a craving for chicken tenders and fries in the location, and so I gravitated towards Foghorn Taproom for its Nashville Tender Meal: 2 Nashville Hot tenders with fries and sauce. While they were making the fresh chicken tenders and fries, my friend and I played table shuffleboard in this bar-like restaurant that has darkly decorated walls and tables.I took the Nashville Tender Meal to-go and ate the meal outdoors. While the chicken tenders were fresh, they were only somewhat crunchy, and I did not find anything special about the chicken tenders. The proportion of fries that were somewhat soggy was also a lot more compared to the chicken tenders. Overall, I can imagine this place being a fun pub-like location for a night out, but I am unsure about the food quality when I went during my specific time. I would love to come here during a busier time and try the food, however!

High hopes for this place as many around me raved about it, but this visit didn't live it up to it. Came in on a Friday evening for online pickup, kitchen was really backed. Few people seated inside and others outdoors, I could hear the customers concerned about how long their food was taking (not sure how long they were waiting themselves). Seems like it's a small kitchen, seating area is pretty spacious as they have inside/outside option. Lots of TVs so a pretty good sports bar option.Food: 1.5/5. I ordered their Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich and was not impressed whatsoever. Chicken was dry, the whole sandwich was. Bread was burnt and the coleslaw was just plastered on top, there were no pickles and no spice to this. The sandwich was not as advertised in any way. I also ordered their Season Fries (extra cost) and was given plain ones.Disappointed in this experience with their food... just might only recommend this place if you're looking to grab a drink and watch sports.

We came around late lunch just past the hour, 4 pm so we were bummed to miss the lunch specials.. was hoping they'd hook us up but nah. We ordered the grilled chicken skewer rice bowl, the pineapple basil and habanero wings, and the chicken Nashville bowl--each dish had its own standout qualities.First off, the grilled chicken skewer rice bowl was incredibly flavorful. The chicken was perfectly grilled, tender, and paired beautifully with the rice and veggies. The portion size was generous too, making it a hearty option that still felt light and balanced.The wings were a definite highlight as well! The pineapple basil wings had a nice sweet and savory twist, which was a refreshing change from your typical wing flavors. The habanero wings, on the other hand, were intense! They packed a serious punch, so if you're into heat, you'll love these. Just be ready--they bring the spice in a big way, but it's totally worth it for that fiery flavor.Finally, the chicken Nashville bowl looked like a showstopper but taste was just ok. The chicken was crispy, juicy, and had that classic Nashville heat that builds up as you go. The bowl itself was filling and well-rounded with all the fixings--perfect for anyone looking for something bold and satisfying.Overall, this place nails it with both variety and quality. Whether you're in the mood for something spicy, sweet, or savory, there's a dish for everyone. Definitely a place we'd order from again!

Pros: good range of beer choices, friendly service, chill atmosphereNeutral: food was good, as described Cons: long wait time for food even though we were the only people in there, prices were higher than I expected for the amount/quality we received

I am so glad we went here!!! The Nashville Sandwich was everything we wanted and so filling after a day of exploring Golden Gate Park and the Academy of Sciences. Actually he couldn't even finish the whole sandwich and was still full 6 hours later, so don't underestimate it! Loaded Fries hit so hard! Pretty much everything you expect it to be in terms of flavors, in their little description, but actually surprised by the amount of chicken they put!! I ordered an extra tender thinking I would wanna add it on top or just to have for some extra protein, but I felt like it put me over the edge in terms of how filling it was. We came at kind of a weird time since we got hungry after a day of activities. Everyone there was working on their laptops with a beer, which I actually wanna come back and do because it sounds so perfect honestly and feel like that's super unique to offer that type of environment. Good for those who have been looking for something other than cafes to frequent. Since we went around 3-4pm on a weekday, we weren't really hitting any type of meal rush or happy hour so it wasn't really crowded but definitely had a good flow of customers! They have some unique beers on tap and prices are so reasonable, especially for the city, like genuinely think it's a great place to try! They have something for everyone.

Very simple meals with beers. I've only gotten their takeout and haven't really hung out in there, but every time I pass by, it looks busy and seems like a great place to socialize. I got the wings and brussel sprouts, can't beat it :)

The wings are really tasty here. Even getting them as delivery was great. I really liked the Parmesan garlic

Wow the food here is surprisingly amazing, and who doesn't love a beer flight! I ordered the chicken skewer & rice bowl and Brussels sprouts. The bowl was amazing, and the rice was SO flavorful and delicious. The chicken and vegetables were also great. The Brussels sprouts were. A tiny bit soggy and a little too vinegar-y tasting, but still great for the most part. The service was great and there are plenty of seating options inside and out. Overall a great restaurant!

Dang these wings are excellent. I ordered buffalo (extra crispy), Nashville (hot), and Hot Honey Crunch and they were all not only perfectly cooked, awesome in flavor, and absolutely enormous but they also arrived hot and crispy via delivery! These may be my new favorite SF wings. Prices are reasonable, about $9/5 wings. I also got the Loaded Nashville Fries (xtra hot) and I loved the combination of flavors. I'd say the Nashville tenders are even better than the Nashville wings. Even though I'm a spice fiend and would try all the spicy items hotter next time (considering scorpion and reaper!), my favorite wings were shockingly the Hot Honey Crunch. As a person who never goes for sweet tinged wings, I was shocked at how awesome and well balanced these were. Great experience, will definitely be a repeat customer!

I came here expecting typical bar food, but wow I was pleasantly surprised by how delicious everything here was! I came here on a Saturday around 7:45pm, and this place was less than half filled. I ended up getting a table next to the shuffleboard and played a little before my food arrived.I got the Nashville hot chicken sandwich, which was delicious! My only complaint is that it wasn't spicy enough for me because I'm big on spicy food. I got it xtra hot, but I should've gone one level up because there wasn't enough of a kick. I also tried some fries, which I originally didn't plan on consuming. But the fries here are seasoned so nicely that I couldn't help but keep munching on them! The wings here were really good as well. Of course, there's a decent selection of beer on tap here. I went with a sour and thoroughly enjoyed it.
