   The non-alcoholic cocktails are not very interesting and totally overpriced. Basically 6 ounces of water, some ice cubes, simple syrup and a cucumber essence is $12 - come on - you can do better than that! The fried chicken is great - and has been for many years - it's a definite staple here. Unfortunately, I didn't venture out from a side order of french fries - definitely would not recommend these - no distinctive taste, seemingly Heinz Ketchup (no taste), and small (but that doesn't really matter). A San Francisco standard but wow - this place needs to up their game!

   A favorite place for lunch mid afternoon. Not a lot of restaurants open mid afternoon with a full menu which makes this a great option. Excellent fried chicken and the burger is great. Staff is excellent!

   Beautiful restaurant located steps away from the iconic Transamerica Pyramid with delicious food and attentive service. We were a party of 3 and everyone ended up ordering some variation of the Tavern Burger ($25) whether it was adding on an egg or some avocado for an additional $2. Everything was delicious from the burger to the french fries and the complimentary popovers (we ended up getting seconds). Overall, the servers were friendly, the food was good, and the ambiance inside of the restaurant was pretty cool. Lots of cool decorations inside as well. They had a nice dark and rustic setting that was real cozy too.

   Always a fabulous time at Wayfare Tavern. We were well taken care of, and we enjoyed every bite of our fabulous dinner. Wayfare is a MUST whenever we are in SF. The Popovers and Fried Chicken are to die for!

   Great food and service, as usual. If you get nothing else, have the fried chicken. I usually have the deviled eggs and chicken. Never disappoints. The staff is very friendly and professional.

   My friend and I had a lovely meal last night. The atmosphere was very lively on a Tuesday night. The ambiance is great for a date night or a business meeting. I highly recommend this restaurant.
