Delancey Street Restaurant

I just moved to the area and I'm so happy to have discovered this place. Not only do they have a beautiful dining room and large patio, but they also allow dogs! Inside and out! They also brought them some ribs free of charge, what service!! That gives you 5 stars off the start. But the food was also super tasty and the prices are very inexpensive. I felt like I was in the 90's. I got the meatloaf and it was delicious! Highly highly recommend!

Lovely spot for a tasty (and quite affordable) meal with a strong mission. Delancey Street Restaurant is run by one of SF’s oldest halfway houses and serves as a way for people re-entering society to reacclimate to work and build up their resume. The staff (all of whom are residents at the halfway houses) are all outstanding and super friendly, and the food is delicious. I will admit that their meat-based options are better than the vegetarian / seafood options, so it’s an especially good deal if you enjoy your meats. I visited Delancey Street Restaurant for dinner with a few friends and we split their onion strings, roasted shishito peppers, scallops, crab cakes, Singaporean noodles with tofu, and Moroccan vegetable stew. The onion strings are a Delancey classic — unlike traditional onion rings, they’re cut into thin strips (strings, as the name suggests), which makes them extra crispy when fried. The shishito peppers are also amazing and are perfectly roasted, especially when topped with a squeeze of lemon. The entrees are all amazing, although, again, the meat-based ones are their specialty for a reason. Of the four entrees we tried, my favorite had to be the scallops — the scallops were beautifully seared, with a nice crunchy exterior shell and super tender center. The scallops were served on top of a mix of roasted corn and chickpeas, which was also super tasty. I loved the sweet pops of corn, especially with the added smokiness from the charring, and the chickpeas were a great bit of added protein and starch. The portions are also really generous, so you’ll definitely leave here happy and full.

I had lunch with my family last Tuesday, 25 years after my last visit when I lived in the area. The food was outstanding, a lovely Reuben sandwich and fried buttermilk chicken burger. We really appreciated Michael’s great service, conversation and his interest in our travels from Australia. We finished off with a Herbie’s chocolate sundae, which was fantastic! A great story, great food and great atmosphere. A must visit for anyone travelling to San Francisco.

Ate here with my family and we loved it! Our server, Michael, was extremely friendly and accommodated all our wishes. I really appreciated their great selection of vegetarian and vegan dishes and I've never seen a dessert menu this long (though unfortunately none of us had any room left after our main courses). My personal favorite was the arugula beet salad with blue cheese and pistachios. The scallops were also amazing (especially the bed of corn and chickpeas they were served on). Prices were great too, especially considering the real table cloth and cloth napkins. I will definitely come back the next time I'm in San Francisco.

The food was and the service was spectacular. I appreciate the amount of spacing in between each table. I came here for a celebration for my partner, and Terry and the staff made sure that it was a lovely experience for the group of seven people we were with. I would gladly come back for the food or just stop by to get a quick refreshing drink, and I do plan to be back! The house made ginger beer, and the fresh squeezed orange juice were great.
