This place was AWESOME. It's busy and small but doesn't skimp on service, cleanliness or food. We waited in a huge line that took all of 10 mins but maybe we just got lucky. Place was clean, staff was super nice & accommodating, food was HOT annnd Delicious. We didn't wait long for the food or drinks. Everything was as if they didn't have a packed house and line down the outside. Definitely recommend. Forgot to get a before pic but trust it was yummy.

One of the only places open late in SF! They're open 24 hours from Thursday through Sunday and it's the perfect late night spot for food if you live in the neighborhood. Service is incredible and the food comes out fast. The servers are very kind, generous, and funny! Everything I've had has been good, not mind blowing food, but pretty much exactly what you would expect from a diner. Prices are super reasonable for the portions too. Highly recommend if you're looking for that classic diner vibe!!

Recently came back to town and stayed at the hotel across the street. Was craving some quick and simple so I stopped by this diner and was not disappointed. Considering it was a Saturday night the line seemed long, however my wait time was no longer than 10 minutes. The service when I was seated was impeccable. My drinks came out within minutes and my order was taken by the waitress who was very friendly and bubbly. The vibe of the restaurant was cozy and comforting which was a bonus. Will definitely be coming back!!

We came for breakfast after checking out of our hotel across the street, on New Year's Day and it was good! Really just your average diner with nice vibes and quick breakfast foods. We all got the two by two options since it was the cheapest and it was comfortably filling, although the eggs seemed a little small lol. It was pretty packed so service was just a tad slow but staff were friendly and nice!

So it is 100% a diner - and that's what I'm rating it as. If you are looking for fancy plating/trendy/chic brunch spot - this is NOT it. But if you are looking for a diner and a solid meal with happy vibes, you've found the right spot. We went for brunch on a Sunday around 10am, and was pleasantly surprised we only had to wait about 5 minutes for a table. It was crowded, but they know how to move the tables. Service was quick all around. The menu is classic diner, with some interesting unique dishes. I got the "hangover" - has browns with Chili, eggs, etc. on top. I liked the concept. The chili itself was underwhelming as far flavor goes - but again, as I said, this is a diner. Totally up to diner standards. My friends who got the hash, an omelet, and eggs sunnyside up felt similarly about the flavor profiles. Portions are large. We were stuffed. My kids got sides of bacon and each side had 4 or 5 pieces (I should have had them split!). Ample refills on the coffee - which for diner coffee was actually decent. Yes, it's a little spendy for a diner, but it's two blocks from Union Square! To be expected. I fully enjoyed my meal here.

We were staying across the street at Hotel G and got hungry, so we thought we would give Pinecrest a chance. Simple no-frills diner that was packed (always a good sign). The service was fast and the portions were generous. The food was really good, and surprisingly the onion rings were great the next day. Good place to stop for a simple meal anytime of day.
