Tennessee Grill in San Francisco

Great Breakfast and Service. Local neighborhood place with lots of Regulars. Had the French Toast special which was just the right amount with a side of hashbrowns at a fair price. Not a fancy place but a nice neighborhood place that has been around for a long time. Friendly attentive service.

Awesome! The last of the true San Francisco diners! Great food, great prices and wonderful staff. Plus it really is one of the few places you can hear the distinct San Francisco accent amongst the OG locals!

Though the prices were reasonable the quality of the cooking was just fair. The grilled filet of sole was overcooked, dry, and chewy and the lemons provided were so dry that there was no juice to squeeze out. The vegetables were frozen so I told them to hold them but was served them anyway. The other entree the grilled tilapia was properly cooked but had little flavor but the tartar sauce redeemed it. The positives were the reasonable prices and each dinner entree came with a good salad or soup and fresh sourdough french bread with two pats of butter. Popular with neighborhood clientele but not much to recommend it for other diners.

Love a good old fashioned grill cheese sandwich with fries and a shake from here. Nice neighborhood place.

Great breakfasts, good portions, city parking.

The food came out quick, the servers were very on point and it is just a really relaxing atmosphere 😊

Good food, kind staff, great prices. What more do you need?

My favorite local breakfast and diner Very kind and nice service I love everything there especially their corned beef Yum!

NOW TENNESSEE GRILL..IS OPEN FOR TO GO ORDERS 8 AM TO 6PM...

Been going here for years! Great place

I had the Irish breakfast. Probably not the smartest choice.toast of your choice, 2 eggs, 1 sausage 1 rasher and 1 black and white pudding. Rather expensive for what you get. It didn't taste great either. I would go back to try something else just not the Irish breakfast!

Great place, the food and decor was a bit drab but tasted good and exactly what you'd expect for an American style diner. Exactly what it says on the tin

Exelent food. Great place for breakfast!!

Great burger and very generous with the avocado.. bland mashed potatoes . Over cool. Would eat there again tho. Just trying it out.

Basic fare at a very reasonable price....great service and cool servers.

Great food had a cheese burger with bacon. My wife had one with half avacado so she was very happy about that. Friendly staff and great prices only came out to $21

This is a very good and affordable place to eat in the Sunset district, which is hard to find. We only had breakfast, but have been there twice and it is really good. Waitresses are nice and friendly. Their lunch and dinner specials look really good, just haven't made it there yet. Definitely would go back.

This is the kind of place that you go for cheap, hearty, food. My partner and I can get out the door for $25 total. Unheard of in this city. Don't go here if you're looking for a new hip hang out with modern decor and gourmet menu, this isn't that kind of place. But if you want a no frills burger piled high with american cheese and classic toppings this place is perfect for that. The rustic, diner, interior feels like a diner that can be picked up and placed anywhere in the country. No frills here. Just cheap, fatty, food fresh off the griddle... A simple comfort that's hard to find these days.

One of my favorite places in SF. Friendly staff, fast service and actual affordable prices. I usually get breakfast. Chicken fried steak and gravy. My wife loves the Lou’s Special. Down to earth cooking

Just a fun stop (3.5) for an SF native who doesn't necessarily care about "fine cuisine." Good homestyle breakfast. Noisy on the weekends. Miss the old fashioned cinnamon rolls.

Very popular and busy but not over crowded when I went. My Irish breakfast tasted good and there was plenty there. I enjoyed the endless coffee also 👍

I've been going to this place my whole life. It's my 92 year old grandpa's favorite place. Hehehe 🤷🏼‍♀️ bathrooms could be a little cleaner. That's all.

This place is a diner with the look and feel of the 1940’s with perhaps a couple of subsequent remodelings, the latest probably around the 1980’s. Its sort of nostalgic in a low rent kinda way. It might have been a place for a decent meal in the past but its appeal today certainly isn’t in the food. Its mostly food-service quality ingredients indifferently prepared. There are a few specials in a mostly typical diner menu but none of them warrant much of a mention. Its only redeeming factor is that its cheap, at least by SF standards. In a city that’s rapidly gentrifying it’s exceptional to see something of the more prosaic survive intact and viable. So go, sit down in a booth or at the counter, have a meal and enjoy the ambiance. This is a relic of a not too distant past when San Francisco was San Francisco. I’m glad it’s still here.

My boyfriend and I are regulars. Absolutely the best breakfast... fast service and great portions. My go to restaurant in the entire city.

Always satisfying, friendly service, and good value.

Good food great fast service.

This is the best place to have a good breakfast! The cooks are very nice and will cook whatever you request. Prices are reasonable, the place is very clean and the ambient is very nice. The place opens at 6am-8pm 24/7 365 days,(including Holidays!).

This is one of the best restaurants I have ever been to. No, actually this is the bes restaurant I have ever been to. The Tennessee Special (1/3 pound Cheeseburger with Fries and all the toppings) was soooooo good. This place is amazing it deserves so much more than 5 stars. The waiters are very nice and the chef even came out and asked me how my burger was. I love this place.

Reasonable price and neighborhood kind of place... no frills, fast service and the food is always good

Good prices, set up is a little vintage very old school. From a friend of mine he said it's never changed, from the menu to the process. We got the Tennessee special he loved it so he give them five starts for him .. me it was okay three stars

Good customer service makes this diner experience complete.

Good food and friendly customer services. Thanks for being a long time close to my house and convenient.

A local hangout. Combination of American cousins & International specials. The food on the menu isn't on the pricey side

No frills diner in the deep Sunset off Taraval. Standard diner fare, consistent, and fast turn around. Come here for a quick in and out, parking can get tight.

Great neighborhood diner that is still going strong after the 7+ years I've known about it. Above average food quality with below average prices = a great place for good and cheap breakfast! I particularly recommend the biscuits and gravy and the corn beef hash

Local diner with standard fare. No long lines and great prices.

Old school SF style diner. Not fancy. Not super trendy. Just good food served by nice people.

Very friendly staff. They have tons of "regulars" which I think is a testament to the service and quality. I especially love their pancakes. Really solid breakfast spot and super casual lunch/dinner option.

Sat at the bar. Fast friendly service. Fresh garden salad. Juicy patty melt!

Comfort food at really cheap prices with friendly staff. Nothing fancy. All the basics. Good homemade meals!

This is my neighbors restaurant and I didn't even know it we walked in will used to go there all the time he bought us dinner I was surprised to see he was the owner and the food is just as good as when we ate there years ago highly recommended Tennessee Grill what a breakfast I know launchers are just as good then dinner is even better

Neighborhood go-to diner. Good value. The noise level was high. Had breakfast. Lou's Special was good. Bacon was flimsy. Coffee was weak but plentiful. Servers are helpful and serve with a smile. Overall I'd say it's what you expect for a diner. Will go again.

The food isn't necessarily the most flavorful, but you definitely get an awesome deal for the price and was exactly what I expected from a little diner/grill. And dont get me wrong, the food is really good. You get a real nice breakfast or lunch that will keep you filled until Dinner. I would much rather eat here, get a significantly better portion of food that tasted good, and that is at half the price then getting slightly more flavorful food at double the price and half the portions. Stop here if your looking for a quick bite at a good price.

Ordered the grilled pork chop lunch. It was moist and yummy.

Great food. Inexpensive.

Wonder breakfast ❤

I visited this eatery about 20 yrs ago. I friend brought me here. I remembered good vibes here. So today, by fate, I was in area. I enjoy these eateries where you can belly up to the counter! Don't remember the staff. However, the present staff appears to carry on the cordiality I felt yrs ago! Food was good. Comfort food. Coffee was good. I don't need nothing fancy to eat. I'm a blue collar service guy who just wanted to eat something. Hungry.Come on down! See you here!I'll be back.

Some of the fastest service i've ever had at a restaurant. Super friendly staff, great dive diner vibe. Good eats. Good prices. Highly recommend.

Big fan of this place...I have been enjoying eating here for 49 years! Great for breakfast anytime of day... Pot roast ..very good! You also can't beat the "Tennessee Special"..great burger/fries combo ! I like it on a french roll with Cheddar cheese. Bacon also a great option. Prices are quite reasonable....Great people serving here. All very attentive and smiling !

Great food, great service, great prices. Wide variety on the menu. It's a funky kind of cool place. It is a great place for breakfast, lunch or dinner. It's the kind of place that you can come as you are. It's not fancy, but it's homie.
