by Miki D. on There's the Folsom scene with all the bears, avant gays, etc There's the Castro with cookies, clones, and queens Then there's Polk street. This is right down the street from Divas. I like the design of the place, the bartenders are friendly, but it feels completely foreign. not the gay crowd I am used to. I will come back in the future though.
by sarah d. on I've been in the city for the past 4 years and feel that I have good to decent knowledge of the hot spots but had no idea of this place at all. I guess I need to get out more. This is not exactly the kind of neighborhood I would be caught alive in.... so its no wonder I didn't know about this place. We came here for a quick dinner before a show at the Fillmore and was totally shocked at what a cool place this is. Its huge for one thing. And their service is excellent. My drink was recommended and hit the spot for me! The food came out quickly and delicious. Its fun to be able to see the chefs work in an assembly line to make our food. One thing I would change is the noise level. The jazz band was good but they must have sang "happy birthday" 30 times in the 2 hours we were there. And I could not for the love of god hear myself think. Good times but I think I lost my voice from yelling at the people I was trying to talk to.
by Barrett Nikirk on You cannot miss this wonderful place! If you are like me and appreciate nostalgia and great deals, this is the place to go. The minute I walked through the doors, I fell in love! The decor looks like you will find Potsie and The Fonz sitting at the table next to you. (Richie would be there, but he's too busy being a famous director :) Anyway, it's a true 50's style restaurant, with photos of Marilyn Monroe, classic cars and movie memorabilia. The menu is filled with favorites like Italian beef and sausage, pizza, spaghetti and salads. There are great prices (under $4) for kid's meals and special discounts for seniors. When I went, the special of the day was a chicken/rib combo. I got 2 pieces of fried chicken, a half slab of ribs, waffle fries, cole slaw and a biscuit. Are you ready for the price? $6.95!! The ribs were some of the best I have ever eaten, juicy and tender with almost no fat. There is a bar, big screen televisions and some great music. The people who work here are friendly, down to earth and work hard to please. (The location is on a side street, but basically it's a few blocks west of River Road, between Lawrence and Montrose). Enjoy yourself and tell Potsie I said hello!
