Stopped in today after a Palestinian liberation rally, on one of the hottest days of the year, hungry & bedraggled. The black bean burger here is always phenomenal, the patio is so zen and comfortable, and the staff was so ultra lovely and kind. I've nothing but total gratitude for the babes behind the bar and in the kitchen, and I'm looking forward to my next visit for an Underberg & my favorite quick/filling vegan bite in the Mission Thanks gang xoxo

cute and cozy restaurant/bar! the vibe of this place is very homey, with communal picnic tables in the back patio and more tables inside along the wall. the service was really great and food arrived quickly. they have you order at the bar and then they bring the food to you! prices are reasonable. i had the chicken and waffles half portion, which was a good snack size (definitely order the full size if youre hungry). the waffle has prosciutto and cheese inside and is drizzled with maple syrup! the chicken was crispy, but slightly dry. overall i liked it - a good balance of sweet and savory flavors with contrasting textures. my friend had the carnitas benedictos, which they said were good (a little spicy) this seems like a good place for casual brunch with friends (they do bottomless !) but it didn't blow me away.

The sycamore was an interesting bar in the mission that one of my cousins found and chose. It gives off dive bar like vibes but was very clean and cozy in the front which was nice. The back also had a large outdoor area that had a roof but was still nice to get a bit of an outdoor vibe. They had interesting beers on taps and some wine but they didn't seem to have any hard alcohol. I will say it was a little weird that all the drinks we ordered were not in pint glasses but in smaller cups, that threw me off a bit. They had a good menu and a lot of people were ordering food, I didn't have any but the people around me seemed to like the artichokes a lot. They also seem to have bingo Wednesdays that were fun and the guy running it did a great job in making it fun. It was a good time but I probably won't make the trek to the mission to visit again.

A secret gem! My friends and I tried this place for bottomless mimosas and were greatly impressed! The deals were fantastic (2 hours of bottomless) and the brunch food was delicious - the chicken and waffles are a must. The ambiance was so fun, arty, quirky, but in the best way and the service was quick and super helpful. For bottomless the refills were very quick and the drinks were not watered down which I loved. A must try!

Nestled in the vibrant Mission District, The Sycamore offers a cozy retreat from the bustling streets of San Francisco. With its rustic décor and intimate ambiance, it's the kind of place that immediately feels like home, albeit with a few quirks. The service at The Sycamore is fairly average. The menu is somewhat limited, featuring a selection of small plates and sliders. Despite the lack of variety, what they do offer is crafted with care and bursts with flavor. I tried the BLT slider, beef slider, and fried chicken slider, each offering its own unique and delicious experience. The pork belly sliders are another must-try--succulent and seasoned to perfection. The fries also deserve a special mention, providing a deliciously decadent side to any meal. A single-stall bathroom serves the entire establishment, which can be inconvenient during peak hours. It's clean and well-maintained, but you might find yourself waiting in line, especially on weekends. The Sycamore is a delightful spot for those seeking a relaxed, no-frills dining experience with a touch of local flair. While it has its minor drawbacks, the inviting atmosphere and delicious fare make it worth a visit. If you're in the area and craving something simple yet satisfying, The Sycamore is certainly worth checking out.

Came here for a friend's birthday. In the back of the bar, they have a semi-open patio dining area with picnic style tables. We got the Sycamore Chicken and Waffles. I love that it's not an ordinary waffle but a Belgian-Style Waffle stuffed with prosciutto and manchego cheese, pretty unique! There were really big pieces of prosciutto and it wasn't super cheesy, but the flavors still came through. The fried chicken was decent, tasty and drizzled with Makers Mark Maple Syrup. Love that you can get either a half or full portion of this! (Half order is basically a two quarters of a whole Belgian waffle. We also got a Carnitas Benedict, but honestly, there wasn't anything too special about this one. The sopes were on the harder side, so it was hard to cut. It was topped with a decent amount of carnitas, poached egg, roasted jalapeno, hollandaise, pico de gallo, and cotija cheese. Of course we had to try their famous Pork Belly "donuts." The group ordered a few orders of these so everyone could try one. Pieces of pork belly are battered and fried. On the outside is a bourbon maple syrup glaze and some sea salt. They were interesting, but not sure if I'd pay 3 something a pop for them. I'd say, try them at least once!

This is a decent brunch spot. There is indoor seating and outdoor. The indoor is pretty dark and has a divey feel to it. I personally love divey bar vibes so I enjoyed it. The outdoor seating in the back had a lot more sunlight, not so much divey but more boujee. So you get best of both worlds. The drinks and food must be ordered at the bar. The bartenders were friendly, attentive and couldn't expect more from them. Good selection of beers of draft. Ate the Sycamore Roast Beef sandwich and honestly it wasn't all that great. The Salmon Scramble was great and Garlic Fries were incredible. My group and I ate about 4 baskets of Garlic Fries so that should tell you how tasty they were.

My favorite thing about the Sycamore the beef slider and my second favorite is the people - from the bartenders to the kitchen guys they're a friendly bunch. I play trivia here regularly and this weekend I visited for brunch with my trivia teammate. We got the half chicken waffles. The waffle comes with a bourbon syrup on it and almost tastes like French toast. The Croque Madame sandwich is a twist on the classic ham cheese and egg croissant with handmade potato chips and a bowl of fruit. The fact that they're handmade makes them taste extra delicious. We also got beef and chicken sliders - The beef slider comes with carmelized onions and blue cheese and is like a little bite of heaven. There is a backyard area and outdoor seating as well. Overall - Ambiance 5/5 Food 4/5 Service 5/5 Drinks - $ I didn't have any today but they usually have a good sour on tap. Beers are reasonably priced. Bottomless mimosas are $28 an could be a vibe
