Joanie's Happy Days Diner

We were going to the wharf, but wanted to get brunch nearby. There were a lot of options, but my mom really wanted to try their unicorn pancakes for the dragon fruit. We came around 11am and it was crowded inside. We had to wait maybe 10 minutes before being seated though. Inside had a lot of tables and was pretty cramped. We ordered the unicorn pancakes and the Denver omelette. I asked to switch the ham to sausage and with potatoes, not hash browns. The unicorn pancakes was really good. The fruit was fresh and sweet. My omelette did not come with potatoes and was made with ham. We asked to switch it out, but they ended up just giving extra potatoes. It still tasted good, but I was still a little sad. Parking will definitely be hard in this area, but we ubered. I'm a little disappointed that my dish came out incorrectly even after confirming it. The food was still good and I would maybe come back to try their other foods. It is pretty cramped in here, so be mindful of that if coming with a big group.

This picture here is $17 before taxes and gratuity (two slices of French toast and a side of hash brown). Was it delicious? Yes. Was it worth $20+ (no beverage)? No. Would I recommend it? Only if you don't care about value. You will eat well, and you will spend a lot. I hear this is standard in San Fran, though. I will leave this at 4 stars for now because of that.
