Hops And Hominy

Been here many many times. Excellent service, great southern influenced comfort food with some healthier San Francisco posed options on the menu. Great cocktails, rotating beer selection with local drafts and often updated wine list. Fried chicken is the thing to get here, but today I went with a selection of appetizers. Super delicious soup of the day, ham croquettes and chicken wings. All very tasty!

There is something about restaurants on alleyways off the main beat that makes them even better...less crowded, better quality, not as overrun with tourists. Hops & Hominy is one of those places. Absolutely delicious, fresh ingredients. And their chipotle "hopsauce" (hot sauce) REALLY packs an awesome kick to go with their spicy chicken sandwich. It's even for sale! Totally recommended for a light lunch alone, or a quiet date night. Just DELICIOUS food!!

Ah another restaurant I really like, albeit a bit pricey - like most SF restaurants. There's just way too many in San Francisco. I love that there's a good happy hour selection. Great appies ranging from fried oysters, to hearty salads, and also delicious Mac and Cheese! It was so good - the oysters were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside but not squishy. The Mac and cheese was very cheesy with a breading on top. My favorite cocktails are the Gin and Jam and Bees Knees. The mix was not overly sweet and overpowering. The Bees Knees drink came in an adorable bears glass, and also I could even taste a subtle roses from the rose they used as the garnish of mixed into the drink. There's also a beer, wine and dessert wines selection. Would come back.

Went there for dinner at 6pm, made a reservation earlier that day. We were seated promptly. It was very crowded at the bar, seems like happy hour crowd. Tables up the stairs were not full yet. I had the same thing I got the only two times I've been here, the pork chop. I really enjoyed it. It was cooked perfectly. Also shared the corn bread, it is really good. By the time we finished all the tables were full and the bar maintained it's crowd. It's a fairly loud place so an intimate conversation will not be had. We were seated next to a middle aged blonde woman who liked to drop f* bombs but it didn't take away from our experience. Definitely recommend this place. The servers were very friendly and efficient.

Came here at 6pm on a Thursday and was pretty full - was told we could get a table but needed to leave at 720 (which was fine) Food was very good - they serve a corn bread with whipped honey butter and that was absolutely delicious. We also had the ribs, pork chop and ribs and again very impressed. Only problem was service wasn't so great, not horrible just not that good either. Still would recommend trying
