San Francisco tips on eating out?

Off to San Fran in Sept, both are not fish eaters but love steak/burgers etc etc.

Any good steak/ribs places I should visit?

Cheesecake factory.

Go steady on a starter/ main if you want to have a hope of trying the cheesecake as portions are generous & very good.

It's a chain restaurants so also found in other US cities.

Apparently this place does great burgers:

It's one floor below the Cheesecake Factory in Macy's. I would also vouch for the Cheesecake Factory, always had decent food there (big portions too).

In n' out burger at fishermans wharf - I will not eat MacDs or BKing but these are YUM...obviously this is not for a romantic dinner out
Daily Grill also recommended

McCormick and Schmicks is a very good seafood restaurant... Here's the one in SF

Go to happy hour. Sit in the bar area and order the $2.95 cheeseburger. This has to be THE best value meal in the US!

There is a drink minimum ($2.95). Order a glass of wine or a beer and you're good!


Cheesecake factories are good. Only downsides are
1. The queue's to get in them at peak times are huge
2. The drinks cost a fortune


I'm also a big fan of outback. Surprised there isn't one there. Longhorns are good too. But there aint one of them either

It's nearly 3 years since i was in San Francisco but Max's on the Sqaure was excellent! It's a restaurant rather than fast food so obviously a bit pricier, but I had a fantastic Greek-style lamb burger there and OH had beefburger. Mmmm, bloody starvin now.

I also reckon that anywhere that 'Man V Food' has been is worth a try.

And on the man v food front we had some amazing sandwiches at ikes place

The 'Man V Food" and "Diners, Drive Ins and Dives" websites are always a good guide to somewhere to eat that's good and cheap!!
