Friends With Benedict's - Reviews

NEW LOCATION! Still amazing food and service! Chef Derrik Soares has this great pop up brunch now at 450 Post street …3rd floor in the beautiful historic Elks club.

My experience at the restaurant was fantastic! I had the crab benedict, which was absolutely delicious. To complement my meal, they also prepared a delicious iced espresso drink that truly perked me up and got my day started right.

My experience at the restaurant was wonderful, especially for our Mother's Day buffet switch-up. The complimentary French toast for my 6-year-old was a fantastic start. The restaurant had a homey feel, and the food was truly delicious. I particularly enjoyed the watermelon mimosa, and the blood mary onion ring thingy majig was a definite eye-catcher. The pure hospitality we received made the visit memorable. 😍

My experience at the restaurant was fantastic! We ordered a table of five, and everyone enjoyed their own unique dishes and drinks. Everything was absolutely delicious! The service was also excellent, and our food arrived quickly.

My experience at this restaurant was sooo F'n good! I can't believe there isn't a line out the street. Trust that the oysters are top shelf! The food was excellent, and the service and atmosphere were also rated a perfect 5/5.

As a member of the "Together SF" Lower Polk Volunteer Clean-Up crew, I had the pleasure of receiving free brunch as a thank you from the owner. My experience on a Saturday morning from 11 am to 12 pm was excellent. The brunch food selection was superb, and their mimosas were super tasty and bubbly, especially after a morning of cleaning Polk Street. I'm looking forward to bringing my husband for graduation brunch next month. It's wonderful to see musicians, artists, and vendors slowly returning to Fern Alley, and I hope gems like this remain open and in business for the longevity of our neighborhood. The food service and quality never disappoint, so I definitely recommend supporting local businesses. While the future may be uncertain, we can live our best lives by participating and enjoying one another in the present.

My experience at this restaurant was largely positive. The chef personally greeted us, which was a nice touch. I must say, the Egg Benedicts were the best we've had in a long time, showcasing well thought out and crafted dishes. While the potatoes could have used a bit more dressing up, the overall meal was phenomenal. We found the prices to be reasonable and the service to be decent.

Our group of 15+ had brunch here, and overall, it was a pleasant experience. The staff were friendly, and our waitress was patient in explaining the food options. The food itself was absolutely delicious. However, there were a couple of drawbacks. The menu, accessed via QR code, had very low resolution on our phones, making it difficult to read even when zoomed in. Additionally, the restroom was not clean, lacking toilet seat covers and having visible stains on the seat. An upgrade in this area would be beneficial.

This brunch spot, with its clever catchy name, has been on my radar for a while. I booked a table a few days ahead via Yelp and was seated promptly upon check-in. I was offered a choice between indoor and outdoor seating, and since the weather was decent, I chose one of the last tables in the outside parklet/booth. The chef came out to introduce himself, and our server arrived within minutes. My friend and I ordered the classic Benedict and the Dungeness crab Benedict, swapping one egg each to try both. She enjoyed a Bloody Mary, while I opted for the lychee mimosa, which was a great choice! The chef even made his rounds and topped up my mimosa halfway through, a very nice gesture. The service was friendly, the food was great, and the price was very reasonable for San Francisco. I'll be back!

We were a large group of 6 and arrived without a reservation. Initially, we were told it was too busy, but the host kindly offered to help us find another restaurant. After a few minutes, he returned and informed us they could accommodate us at an outside table. The food was delicious; we enjoyed the Texas French Toast, the Salmon Benedict special, the Steak Benedict, the California Omelette, and two Chicken Sandwiches. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meal and the hospitality of the owner/host and our waiter. We would definitely recommend this restaurant to friends and family.
