About this business
Very rarely in The City does one find a restaurant that has extremely low prices while maintaining the highest quality food. Chow Food Drink is an unusual restaurant that offers excellent food at low prices. No wonder the wait is always an hour long. The menu includes favorites such as the Roasted Half-Chicken with Garlic Mashed Potatoes and Cranberries, or Linguini with Clams, Mussels, Prawns, and Fresh Fish. A full dinner with a drink can be had for no cost at all.

Consistently dependable – for good, reasonably priced food, good, fast service, casual, bohemian atmosphere.
Great Times at Chow! – Chow is this always there for you when you need it. They have a great wine list, great desserts and everything is affordable. It's the perfect place to go when you don't want to cook and just want to stay in the neighborhood. The staff is always casual, friendly and very efficient.
Friendly service, poor experience – We've been in SF now for 8 months - and our New Years' day visit was the worst eating experience we've had. The friendly service couldn't make up for the (initially) cold food, greasy scrambled eggs and below-par eggs benedict. We will not be recommending, nor going back. Shame, as the place has a good brunchtime atmostphere.
California comfort food shines at this popular, low-priced neighborhood hangout. – The Scene With dark-green walls, wooden floors and crowded tables, this friendly restaurant looks like it's been around forever. Only a few years old, it's already a neighborhood institution, busy from lunchtime through closing thanks to easy pricing, a something-for-everyone menu and a casual vibe. The Food The low prices belie the high quality of the all-American food. The menu offers all-American staples like heaping bowls of spaghetti and ... read more
Exceptional – I discovered Chow when I first moved to San Francisco and it continues to remain one of my favorite restaurants in the city. The flat iron steak is always good as well as the shortribs and other dishes my friends have had. I have never had to wait that long for a table even though it is always packed...regardless it's a great place to people watch. The service is always good...sit on the back patio if you can because the atmosphere is great. Also started eating brunch there on Sundays and as always it was good.
Great Local Spot – Terrific value for terrific food. This busy local's spot will get you in and out or let you linger, whichever your day dictates. Save room for dessert (all good) by getting one of the daily special sandwiches as your meal.
Good food, great prices – Very comfortable atmosphere. The food is pretty good overall (some is very good, some is just so-so), but it's hard to find anything over $12, and there is a lot of variety on the menu (meats, pasta, Asian, Italian, sandwiches, pizzz, soup, salad). Every day, there is a sandwich special that comes with soup or salad, usually for less than $10. Drinks are a little on the pricey side (over $2 for a 10-oz. bottle of Coke), but everything else is reasonable. Stay for dessert, but avoid the chocolate cak... read more
There's one in Lafayette! – Chow Lafayette recently opened, and I have been there a couple of times. The foods always been great, there's always a big variety on the menu, ranging from Bleu cheese burgers to Spicy thai noodles (lots of vegetarian choices). The wait hasn't been too bad. The service is friendly and helpful. The atmosphere is casual and comfortable. They also have a little market in the front, organic produce and stuff. The bar looks cool, pretty good variety there, too.
It's just ok... – Food favor is good but small portion. It's so noisy there makes you feel rushed...
