Orphan Andy's

I love Orphan Andy's! I have good memories coming here with friends for late night eats. Ambiance is cozy, service is so friendly and warm, and the food just hits the spot. I always get a club sandwich with potato salad. I like their root beer float too. My husband loves their chicken tenders and chicken soup. Simply a San Francisco staple.

Orphan Andy's has amazing Christmas decor that you must see! The vibe in here is crazy with the retro diner fixtures, including a quarter-operated jukebox that I believe doesn't work anymore. The retro booths and bar made me feel like I was in a movie. I wish it snowed in San Francisco because that vibe would've been inside. Imagine snow on the window while enjoying some warm diner food!Now I wouldn't say the food was AMAZING or anything. It's diner food, and it did what it needed to do. I did enjoy the hotcakes for being kind of chewy. And of course the root beer float was great, which it always is.Service is great here. The staff is super personable!Prices are average for San Francisco I'd say (so on the upper end). Our bill for two was $60.

AN ABSOLUTE GEM!!!I found Orphan Andy's on an SF website about late night eateries. It looked cool, had good reviews, so I decided to check it out after I dropped off my lady at the bus station. It was pretty easy to park there as I went late night on Thursday. I was already blown away by its small, old school size and it was straight out of Eyes Wide Shut - and decorated with beautiful lights and ornaments.The staff was very welcoming and friendly and they had a great menu. Everything for a regular and a plant based crowd. Prices were great and LIGHTNING FAST service! Food was delicious too as well as the dessert menu!I will be back there soon! Do give this place a try!!!- Neil

After a fun night out we stopped in Orphan Andy"s for a late night meal. The server was prompt in seating us (group of 5) we quickly ordered some food as we were really hungry. I got the double cheeseburger and it did not disappoint at all. Meaty, cheesy, soft bun and juicy! The fries were crispy which is my favorite. The bill came and we all went homeHappy and stuffed. 10/10 time. Would highly recommend.

The food smelled and looked good. Service was quick and with a great attitude!! This place is convenient to the street car stop just a few steps away.

We've passed by Orphan Andy's so many times while exploring SF and visiting nearby businesses. On our latest trip we made it a point to stop in for breakfast. Luckily it wasn't packed at 8:30am and we grabbed a couple seats at the counter.The staff was friendly and welcoming and before I knew it I had a steaming cup of coffee in front of me. Let me tell you, that cup of coffee was never empty the whole time we were there. They kept it full with fresh coffee, topping it off every few minutes. AND the coffee was delicious, I drank it black.We ordered sausage links and eggs breakfast ($17) and the Louisiana Hot link and eggs breakfast which we upgraded to include Biscuits and country gravy ($17.55+$4.15 upgrade) and we sipped coffee and talked about the rest of our day while we waited for the food to come in.The restaurant has some tables up front, booths and then the counter seating. It's pretty small and we learned they tend to get busy around 10am.Our food came out and it was a generous portion, so much so that I took home a small box of leftovers. The biscuits and gravy were the star for us, light and fluffy biscuits with flavorful gravy. Our over easy eggs were nice and yolky and I was able to dip my toast in the eggs. The Louisiana hot link was also delicious. The sausages and potatoes were ok, I personally prefer cased sausage links at diners and the potatoes could have been crispier but for the portion it was great.Whether you're looking for an old school diner vibe, a spot for hangover food, a cute date spot or just solid coffee and food this would be a great choice.

Amazing as always! Cute little diner in the middle of the Castro. Great diner food! Pancakes are to die for! The Diet Coke is fountain refillable and very crisp and cold! Service is always great. Opened 24 hrs most days

A perfect Divey Diner in the Heart of the Castro.Contrary to many people's experience here - I stopped by here absolutely stone cold sober in the middle of the day to grab lunch and catch up with a friend. And I am so glad I did.We arrived at Orphan Andy's a little after 1:30 PM. The restaurant had customers in it but wasn't too crowded at all. There is a mix of booth seating and bar/counter style seating. We were promptly at a booth when we arrived.The ambiance of this place is extremely cute - lots of flashing lights, and fun decor. Even the table had old music boxes which were a nice touch.For our food I got an order of chocolate chip hot cakes, and my friend got a Monte Cristo with Potato salad on the recommendation of our server.The food was actually so good. The chocolate chip pancakes were the perfect mix of salty and sweet and paired with the whipped butter and maple syrup on the side it was perfection. Arguably the best stack of pancakes I've had here in the bay area. The monte cristo is always a solid combination but Orphan andys did it to perfection - another great example of the salty and sweet flavor combination.By far the highlight of our meal was the service at this restaurant. Both individuals we interacted with were extremely friendly and attentive - for that reason alone I'd come back again.All in all - I had a wonderful time at Orphan Andy's yesterday. Would definitely recommend stopping by here for a mid day meal and I'm looking forward to trying it as a late night option some time soon.Ambiance : 5/5Service: 5/5Food: 5/5

I love this place! There's often a line but it's worth the wait. My partner and I ordered the breakfast for two that includes pancakes, eggs, and sausage. It's so good and was perfect for such rich food. It's a fun diner decor inside. So fun for late at night.

Great food, chic modern minimalist decor, service was awesome. Definitely worth a visit
