Really solid brunch spot with an upscale, clean vibe and a menu full of interesting options. We tried the Dr Birch muesli, veggie bowl, salmon scramble, and Swedish pancakes. The muesli stood out — hearty, not overly sweet, and packed with nuts and fruit. The salmon scramble was also really well done and felt satisfying without being heavy.
We went around noon on a Sunday, and it was packed, but the wait wasn’t bad if you’re fine with bar seating.
I’d definitely go back and work my way through more of the menu.

This place is a gem! Ian, our server, was fantastic and helpful as it was out first visit and everything looked awesome. We sat at the kitchen bar and could see all the dishes coming out. Everything looked awesome and was prepared with care. It’s not cheap but the portions are generous, so bring an appetite. Coffee and cappuccino were fantastic. Great beers, even though didn’t start there! Will visit again when in town.

Came out of curiosity, the menu was interesting. Lots of counter seats and a host stand that leads to tables. Divorced eggs is a childhood favorite, and who can resist a Hangtown Fry?
Attentive service, good prices, and very delicious!
Enjoy!

I read some reviews about the about the waiters being lovely to customers and happy to be there and it’s true. The 3 ladies we met while lunching there were helpful, had a lovely smile everytime they reached any table and didn’t seem to be in a rush to attend other customers and that did it for us. Apart from the food being amazing, it’s the customer service that’ll bring us back very soon!
Tuna melt w arugula salad w a lovely mild dressing + the hot sauce for the sandwich were great. The big spoon brkfst for my partner was also great! Gracias! We shall be back 🙂

Might be one of the best brunch places I’ve been to in SF. I got the fried chicken sandwich since it seemed to be their most popular item, and the flavors were spot on. My friends got the morning bowl and the market st benedict, which were also amazing.
One thing Wooden Spoon could do better is managing wait times. Since we saw that there was a ~30 minute wait, we decided to walk walk around and explore the area until we were in the front of the line. When we saw that there were 0 parties ahead of us, we got back to the restaurant in anticipation that we would be seated soon. However, it took us over 20 minutes of additional waiting before we were seated. The food may have been worth the wait, but more accurate timing would have made the experience much smoother.

Nice little breakfast spot near the Castro. Staff are very friendly and helpful during our meal. They had a decent selection of breakfast entrees. The ones we ordered were all delicious and good portion. We were nicely stuffed after our meal.

The place is small but nice ambience and bar seating is slightly cramped. Service was very quick. Food tasted good, but portion size is small. Was expensive for the size, but not more than any other brunch place in sf. Would go once, but will not revisit.

Just visited SanFo at Wooden Spoon was one of the highlights of my weekend. Went to sit at the counter by the kitchen and it was such an awesome experience. Their food is so good, not too expensive, and the service is impeccable. Also, the guy doing their plating is fantastic! I would definitely recommend this to my friends in San Francisco.
