Outerlands San Francisco
Outerlands is a gathering place nestled on the city’s salty fringe, serving locally sourced, organic fare in a warm, convivial setting. It’s a restaurant …

Outerlands is a lovely oasis of fresh baked bread and homemade soup in the Sunset District. I booked dinner reservations here for my birthday and was warmly greeted with a glass of sparkling rosé. My server was so friendly and genuine and took excellent care of me! The walls and ceiling are made from weathered wood and all the food is local and organic. Chef Landa prepares delicious, hearty, and attractive appetizers, meals and desserts. I ordered the beans and greens: bone broth, cannellini beans, kale, and grana padano cheese, served with pain au levain.. it was so good! I also enjoyed a hibiscus margarita, which was beautiful and refreshing, and took home a chocolate chip cookie for dessert. Yum! Highly recommend making a reservation, especially for brunch, as this is a very popular neighborhood restaurant and fills up fast everyday of the week.

Autopsy Joe and I were on our way out to Ocean Beach for a little Surf Pearch and Crab fishing and thought we’d snag a little breakfast before we got to the sand. Well, it was dark, cold, and damp and Joe says we’ll stop at the Outerlands breakfast restaurant because not only is the food amazingly delicious… but they’re open! Sometimes it’s hard to find a really good breakfast restaurant that’s open this early in the morning, but the Outerlands is a true morning miracle!
5 stars and worthy of a stop! ☆☆☆☆☆

Cozy place perfect for drinks, small plates, or nice dinner. The Brussels sprouts and potato peak soup are delicious. The pear sorbet was very refreshing and tasteful. Lastly, the cocktails were great and well as their wine menu.

This place is super cozy! We were able to get a seat for 2 for dinner without a reservation. The place had just the right amount of people chatting it up. The service was quick, the servers seemed happy, and the food was impeccable. I will concede that it was $36 for a chicken dinner, and I thought that was a little pricey, but it was honestly a really good meal and was worth the price. We got some of their fresh baked bread w/ butter and that was delicious, too.

We had the mortadela sandwich and the Dutch pancake, they’re both small. The sandwich had no sides, which I expected for the price. Coffee was fine, but not the best and no refills. No service, it’s find a table yourself, stand in line to order, grab your water and utensils.

The food was excellent and the homemade bread and butter is absolutely out of this world. We had 6 people and ordered a bunch of things and almost everything was top notch. The potato leek soup could be creamier and more savory instead of sour and the cavatelli was on the saltier side. Also there was a really long lull between the appetizers and mains. It felt like we waited 20 min to half an hour to get our mains. But excellent service and loved the cauliflower, Brussels, chicken, pork chop and trout!

The perfect cozy place for a foggy SF day. The elevated “home-cooked” dishes are always exactly what I am craving, whether their weekend brunch or weeknight dinner. Everything is seasonal, fresh and flavorful. There are no misses on the menu.

This place is so fantastic. You can’t order wrong. Usually there’s a line but I think 30 min or under is totally worth it. The lemon ginger cider is sharp and fresh. The veggie grain bowl was crispy and not over spiced. The egg sandwich was a yummy mix of cheese, aioli, and a delicate brioche bun.

If you are looking for a warm welcoming neighborhood restaurant with over the top food and a charming staff, Outerlands is your stop on the N-Judah line. We were impressed with the friendly staff who genuinely want to be there, which can be a challenge in today’s restaurant business. I credit this to Riley, the owner, who is present and willing to take the time to meet his guests. The food just adds to the deliciously warm environment starting with the chicken bone broth (served hot in their cozy mugs) followed by lamb meatballs on top of butternut squash purée (we had to place a second order because they’re that good). The kale salad was so inviting I forgot to take a picture so I didn’t make that mistake when our dinner entrees – cioppino and trout were served. We shared the rice pudding to cap off the night.
This place was definitely a San Francisco treat delivered with warm and friendly authenticity. Make sure to take home some freshly made (hot out of the oven) sourdough bread on your way out.

Fantastic cocktails and stellar service and ambiance at this upscale cozy neighborhood spot. Apps were really tasty as was the house-made pappardelle. Smash Burger was fine, but I’ll opt for something else next time.
