    A no frills, reliable american style diner in the city. Something tough to find in this part of SF. Dont expect gourmet fare but do expect friendly and quick service, crispy hashbrowns, well cooked eggs and decent pricing. A great hangover or easy breakfast spot. Have not tried lunch but easily would. I recommend.

    Super cool little diner. A real 50's feel with small booths surrounding a low-top bar with vintage stools. We ordered a late breakfast - with my girl getting a veggie omelette and me getting 2 eggs and bacon. We both also ordered the hashbrowns. She'd eaten the same type of omelette at the world-famous Sears Cafe the day before - but this one from Chestnut truly outclassed the other. And the hashbrowns were just stupid yummy. Whoever is on the griddle knows what they are doing. Also, very nice server who knew how to keep it pleasant and minimal - while making sure we were covered. Definitely worth finding this place.

    Great service and excellent breakfast. As a plant-based diner, I would have liked a few more options, plus gluten-free.

    Small diner, simple menu and definitely hit the spot for breakfast. It was a nice surprise close to our stay at "LA CASA INN."
