If you are looking for a warm welcoming neighborhood restaurant with over the top food and a charming staff, Outerlands is your stop on the N-Judah line. We were impressed with the friendly staff who genuinely want to be there, which can be a challenge in today’s restaurant business. I credit this to Riley, the owner, who is present and willing to take the time to meet his guests. The food just adds to the deliciously warm environment starting with the chicken bone broth (served hot in their cozy mugs) followed by lamb meatballs on top of butternut squash purée (we had to place a second order because they’re that good). The kale salad was so inviting I forgot to take a picture so I didn’t make that mistake when our dinner entrees - cioppino and trout were served. We shared the rice pudding to cap off the night. This place was definitely a San Francisco treat delivered with warm and friendly authenticity. Make sure to take home some freshly made (hot out of the oven) sourdough bread on your way out.

This place is so fantastic. You can’t order wrong. Usually there’s a line but I think 30 min or under is totally worth it. The lemon ginger cider is sharp and fresh. The veggie grain bowl was crispy and not over spiced. The egg sandwich was a yummy mix of cheese, aioli, and a delicate brioche bun.

Let’s start with the not-so-great points: The wait times here are very long. We had signed up for a table outside, but unfortunately, we ended up inside because others who arrived after us were seated ahead of us. That was disappointing, especially since we had to sit indoors when time got tight. Oh, and they forgot to prepare one of our dishes – a breakfast sandwich. To their credit, even though the kitchen was already closed, they still went out of their way to make it for us, which was really nice. Now, onto the good stuff – and there’s a lot! Their coffee is absolutely amazing, brewed with a La Marzocco espresso machine that delivers every time. The food? Outstanding. The grilled cheese sandwich is a masterpiece (seriously, I’m a fan), and the pudding is also excellent. Yes, the place is wildly expensive, but despite everything, I’d definitely go back. The quality of the coffee and food makes it worth a visit, even if you need to pack a little extra patience.

Have been to Outerlands multiple times, a gorgeous interior that feels cozy and hip. All the dishes I’ve had have been great or delicious :) really hope this place sticks around for a while. Fair portions for the prices + vibes off the charts Over the summer I had their house-made tagliatelle and halibut, fresh buttery balanced flavorful and summery. Started off with such a unique log cabin asparagus egg dish which surprised me as my favorite dish of the night. Bread is always fresh and warm RECENTLY I had their Monday evening cannellini beans dish, warmed me right up after I had a red nose from ocean beach wanderings. A rich broth but still light as a soup, LOVED the Al dente cook of it, not shelly but the perfect teeth to the coziness, paired perfectly with the bread 5 stars. Side note: can’t go wrong with coffee and dessert there, haven’t had a miss on multiple tries
