What people say, in short
The Pork Store Cafe is well liked across its outlets, and most who name a location mean the Haight Street one. Many commenters call its food good and many point to the chicken-fried steak. One diner says the homemade corned beef hash is distinctive, another finds the grits good, and two commenters mention the counter at the Haight location, where one says a seat can be had without a wait. The caveats: one diner suspects the steak is premade, one calls it ordinary diner breakfast, and one dislikes the brown gravy.
