This was a great breakfast spot. Nice open atmosphere and outdoor seating is available. Not as big as I thought but plenty of room for us and not a long wait on Thursday morning. The food was good and so was the service. My wife had the lemon ricotta pancake breakfast. I had the Plow breakfast with toast and chicken apples sausage. We normally share pancakes but the lemon ricotta pancakes are much smaller than normal so my wife only gave me a small piece but they were good! The chicken apple sausage was good along with the potatoes. Check this place out if you get a chance and I know you will enjoy it.

Such a good brunch spot! I ordered “the plow” which is shown in the attached picture. Everything was amazing and our food came out really quickly. We had to wait about an hour to be seated due to how busy they were, so I would recommend ensuring you have a lot of time available when going. The food is worth the wait!

For sure one of the best best brunch spots in SF. Came on Friday at around 10 and lucky that there was almost no wait. Cozy intimate space but not very loud. We first got the buttermilk biscuit, and I’d like to quote fully a review “If you don’t order this, you’ll probably spend the entire meal sneaking jealous looks at those who made the smart decision to get the warm, dense, golden-brown biscuit on the table. It comes with a hunk of sweet honey butter that you’ll want to spread on everything.” Then the lemon ricotta pancakes - I’ve tried so many pancakes in my life but nothing ever like this: a marriage of soufflé and pancakes, ultra fluffy and you feel like sending clouds into your mouth, truly one of a kind and made me dream of it. Lastly, the soft scramble, which again surprised us - as simple as egg scramble, just tastier than all the ones you’ve had elsewhere.

Gets crowded at around 9am on a weekday but it’s not a long wait to get a table. The plow potatoes and the lemon ricotta pancakes are really special. And get them with the chicken apple sausage! Lovely outdoor seating if the weather is nice.

Food is good but not worth waiting overly long for. Actually liked their pastured eggs (the orange yolk kind) the best. Buttermilk biscuit and lemon ricotta pancakes are also good. Their hot sauce is not hot at all. Their Plow special with coffee, etc. will set you back ~$30+ after tax and tip.6/7 update: Their steak and eggs was alright; I think I would stick with other options in the future. Pastured egg yolks were yellow but still tasted great.

The food and service was good but prepare to wait for a long time. We came at 8:15 AM and waited for an hour. The one’s after us was told to wait for 1-1:30 hours. But this was on a Sunday morning maybe it’s better on a weekday. Good luck!

Went to Plow on a Friday morning around 9:30am, it took us about 10-12 minutes to get there from downtown. There were about 4 or 5 sets of people in front of us and we were seated in about 30 minutes or so. It’s not a bad wait as it’s on a fairly quiet corner so you can spread out and there are a few seats as well. We were seated outside so I really have no clue what the restaurant looks like. Once we were seated our drink orders were taken quickly and they arrived shortly after. We ordered our food soon after and it arrived about 15 minutes or so later. The food was very good. I had the spinach mushroom scramble with breakfast potatoes and the Hong Kong toast on the side. It was all very flavorful and hearty. I think the sauce on the toast was chilled which cooled the toast a bit but it was still really good. I quite enjoyed this meal and recommend a visit.

My new favorite place for brunch. Food was great. Very tasty. Didn’t wait that long but that’s probably because we went mid week rather than the weekend. Plan accordingly. Parking can be a challenge.

Visited SF and tried Plow for the first time based on reviews. It’s a must try for a breakfast/brunch spot. They serve a different menu everyday and their food is impeccable. Their omelette with spinach, leeks and goat cheese was soooo good! And I love the way they make their potatoes, crispy and fragrant, are the perfect side for the omelette.

Awesome brunch place!All the ingredients used here are locally sourced and organic. Food is amazing. We had the Plow (platter) and soft scrambled eggs, both were incredible.The Plow is like a platter where you get to lemon ricotta pancakes, chicken or pork sausage, choice of egg and roasted potatoes. Lemon ricotta pancakes were fluffy and flavorful, we could get the hints of lemon and ricotta cheese. Usually, I don’t prefer roasted potatoes but here you should definitely try them!In Soft scrambled egg, you get scrambled eggs, sautéed spinach and shiitake mushrooms with feta cheese on top. The flavors are excellent.Totally, a great brunch place with awesome staff and incredible food. However, it’s super busy during weekends. We went on a weekday and still had a 10 minutes wait. They tend to wait times as long as 90 minutes during weekends. So, plan to be here as early as possible.They have both indoor and outdoor seating.Haven’t tried their French toast so will go back for the same!
