Comfortable diner packed with old school style. Had corned beef hash and eggs breakfast. Good service. Great food. Sat in window people watching. Great relaxed way to start the day

Staying at the Donatello the Pinecrest was nearby so decided to stop by for dinner one night. Staff were friendly, even dealing with a 'problem local' who was asking another diner for money. Burger was very good, cooked to perfection. Would go back again.

I love to stay around Union Square when in SF and nothing starts the day better than a great breakfast at the Pinecrest.

Love diners but so disappointed with this one. I had a tuna melt sandwich, could have done ten times better myself- processed cheese on white bread with chips, no garnish. Better service & food over the road

If you like decent food, check it out. they have good breakfast, lunch and dinner choices (we tried all sorts of things). Fresh food, cooked right in front of you and very quickly. It is a busy place all day long. Pancakes were not amazing, everything else was good. Staff and service, while not extraordinary, were friendly enough. Bottom line... More
