Need something to help ease last night’s pain and also set you up for an afternoon nap? Look no further than the “Stoner Stack”—a biscuit sandwich with fried chicken breast, fried egg, cheddar cheese, bacon, and homemade sausage gravy (served with tater tots or grits). There are also a bunch of “porch cocktails,” including a Bloody with bacon and pitchers of margs.

We recommend you order “The Plow,” so that you can get eggs, house-made pork sausage patties, those potatoes, and two of their famous lemon ricotta pancakes. And since you got out of bed and brushed your hair (or not), you might as well throw in some buttermilk biscuits as well.

Some people think of brunch as eggs Benedict and fancy French toast, but in SF we know that it also means feasting on delicious dim sum. Dragon Beaux, a dim sum spot from the founders of Koi Palace, puts a modern spin on classic dishes and never disappoints. And, if you’re hungry for a gorgeous food pic to post on your Instagram, the colorful dim sum from Dragon Beaux will give you what you seek (especially the five guys xiao long bao and the rainbow taro paste bao).

If you’re still not dining inside or outside of restaurants, you and your weekend deserve as much bacon as you can handle. And when that hankering for savory salt-cured pork really hits, Bacon Bacon is the only way to go. The entire bacon-centric menu is good, but a few of our faves include the breakfast burrito with scrambled eggs, pulled pork, bacon, avocado, cheddar, and mama lil’s peppers, and The Frederick, a fried egg sandwich with maple bacon pork sausage, Cheddar, bacon, & cream cheese.

Zazie’s brunch is known for long waits that are actually worth it, and we are thrilled to tell you that those waits are back! This is a good thing, but also, don’t worry—they’re not too bad (sometimes there isn’t one at all, especially during the week) because there is ample seating on the heated patio and parklet, as well as indoors (limited, of course). Again, you simply cannot go wrong with anything on the menu, but our go-tos are the miracle pancakes, croque madame, and pierre noir.

We appreciate Brenda’s because it’s a women owned-and-operated restaurant, but also because the menu has dishes like stuffed johnnycakes, pulled pork hash, cream biscuit and country gravy, shrimp and grits, and low country gumbo. And beignets. Can’t not get the beignets. Or the Creoled Bloody Mary.

Brunch at restaurants along Union and Chestnut Street can get pretty boisterous (or as boisterous as any meal gets these days), but if you’re in the mood for a delicious meal without the slight chaos that brunch can sometimes bring, this classic SF restaurant is the perfect spot. The menu offers your standard brunch fare, but with an Italian spin (the breakfast sandwich comes on focaccia and the soft scrambled eggs are served with prosciutto).

Foreign Cinema is the perfect brunch spot for a special occasion. Maybe that’s because it’s the kind of brunch you want to plan ahead for (aka: make reservations because you probably won’t get in if you don’t), which automatically ups the ante. You’ll be stoked you’re so responsible when you’re sitting in the open-air courtyard enjoying oysters, housemade “Pop Tarts,” and possibly the best croque madame in town (Zazie is a very close second). Of course, no one brunches at Foreign.

You still can’t eat inside of Tartine’s stunning industrial space, but you can sit outdoors or take it with you to enjoy elsewhere. We aren’t going to tell you how to live your life. The all-day menu has a bunch of amazing options, so go with your heart. Maybe it’s a slice of vegetable quiche. Or a breakfast sandwich (add maple sausage). Or croissant french toast.

Sure, pancakes and mimosas are delicious, but sometimes you need a brunch with a little more oomph and a lot more margaritas. That’s when you head to this fancier-than-a-taqueria, but still authentic Mexican restaurant on Union Street for chilaquiles, corn pancakes, tacos that are not breakfast tacos, but who cares because they are delicious, and a pitcher of margaritas for the table. If you’re ready to dip your toe into indoor dining, see if you can grab one of the tables by the big window.
