Sam's Grill

Sam's has been satisfying San Franciscan appetites for over 140 years. The restaurant holds fast to history, with a friendly atmosphere and a charming dining room panelled in dark wood and punctuated by bright-white tablecloths. The American menu is largely driven by seafood, but it's worth opting for such local specialities as the wonderful Hangtown Fry. At lunch, don't pass on the burgers.
