Hama Hama oysters – Eureka Restaurant and Lounge

Hama Hama oysters - Eureka Restaurant and Lounge
Happy hour $1 each
Eureka Restaurant & Lounge, San Francisco CA

The texture was REALLY off on these oysters. They were definitely not fresh. Ugh! In all honesty these oysters tasted like crap which sucked because we ordered a dozen. I don’t know how old they were but they should NOT have served them!

Eureka Manhattan - Eureka Restaurant and Lounge
Eureka Manhattan: Bulleit bourbon, Cinzano red, and Angostura bitters. Happy hour $7

Special breakfast sandwich – Devil’s Teeth Baking Company

Special breakfast sandwich - Devil's Teeth Baking Company
Buttermilk biscuit, 2 scrambled eggs, lemon garlic aioli, pepper jack cheese, avocado, bacon. $6.75
Devil’s Teeth Baking Company, San Francisco CA

I love a place where you can relax and have a long conversation with friends without being bothered by work. When the register lady is doing that with the customer in front of you, not so much. Crappy, loud, annoying service always makes your food taste bad.

The lil fat kid in me can’t say “no” to a buffet, lol! I know they’re never going to be good, but I like having all the options. Oasis Buffet was actually decent and had a nice variety of items.

Hot bbq beef brisket sandwich – Sherman’s Deli and Bakery

Hot bbq beef brisket sandwich - Sherman's Deli and Bakery
Sherman’s favorite served on a French roll, with cottage fries. $13.95
Sherman’s Deli and Bakery, Palm Springs CA

Another gigantic sandwich that I couldn’t finish! I swear that half a sandwich is all I can manage whenever I’m at Sherman’s. I don’t mind though because that just means I get to take some home and enjoy it for later. The brisket was delicious and the fires were also pretty tasty.

Chicken wings – Aziza

Aziza, San Francisco CA

These chicken wings were scrumptious! They were plump and juicy and the flavors were delicious. I loved the Mediterranean flavors and all the different textures from the fun presentation.

Bbq combo plate – 4505 Meats

Bbq combo plate - 4505 Meats
Beef brisket, pulled pork shoulder, pulled smoked turkey, with B&B pickles, coleslaw, potato salad, white bread. $15
4505 Meats, San Francisco CA

I love going to the Ferry Building and getting 4505 Meats for lunch. Their bbq is SO good and it’s always nice to get out of the office and stroll over to the Embarcadero. I think that $15 a plate is pushing it on lunch pricing, but the food is SO tasty that I can’t complain too much.
