One of my favorite restaurants of all time. So many amazing memories... so sad to see it go. Thank you for everything, Cockscomb. You will be missed.
They had a prefix menu for the dinner on a Sunday and it was amazing. The meal came with a salad your choice of cut on the prime rib 2 sides and dessert for $50. If you were brave enough to tackle the king cut it was another $5 more. From the drinks to the salad to the food everything was amazing. I would definitely recommend it

Always worth a visit when coming to San Francisco. Warming feeling from start to finish. Best service in town. Can enjoy your meal here on any type of budget. Good vibe, great food, always stellar service. It is amazing to see the rest of the city chopping service staff, while at Cockscomb they are focusing on making their staff better and more efficient. True professionals all around. We had the bacon chop and fresh clams. Absolutely delicious. Wine and cocktail list aren't overwhelming, but ample choices. Will see team again next SF trip. Keep up the good work while the rest of the town is obviously cutting service standards.
This spot never disappoints! Ideal for groups, I was skeptical dining alone. But they were able to put together a dish of my favorite items, a la carte. Amazing food, and equally amazing service!

I went here for a birthday with a few friends. The food was pretty good, we got a humongous steak that was sufficient for three people as well as a few sides. Presentation was clean, service was quick and efficient, would definitely come back to try one of the other huge portions of meat!

Food was well prepared (Instagram worthy), however this is where the lack of value weighs in; portions did not meet expectations. To summarize. If you’re content with nice ambiance and friendly services, while having a unique flavors with smaller portions, then you’ll be delighted to dine here. However if you’re craving a larger and cheaper meal, then I would seek elsewhere.
Came here for a team dinner so we had a set menu of a few of their finest dishes. Be prepared for LOTS of meat. It’s a bit heavy for my taste but it was a nice meal for sure. The pigs head is a sight to behold for those who don’t normally eat this sort of thing. Leg of beast is something to behold. Honestly the grilled cheese and the kale salad were my faves. Tuna crisp was ok. Squid and pig ears was interesting, same with the corn ribs...love the concept. Wish the coconut ice cream in the pineapple was more prominent...the dessert was just a bit too tart for my taste. Good wine selection.
Came here for lunch in the middle of the week, recommend getting a reservation this place gets packed for lunch. In the afternoons it takes down a bit but still recommend a reservation. The first time I came was for the impossible burger. Delicious in a nice toasted ciabatta bun with some fresh greens. The second time having the impossible burger it was on a burger bun which was a bit disappointing. The bun was cold and the burger was like warm with way too much horseradish mustard. The staff was extremely attentive and service was A+. Even with a less than stellar food experience the ambiance and service made up for it. Below: second impossible burger with greens. House potatoes. Jam and gin cocktail and IPA.
This place never disappoints! Ideal for groups, I was skeptical restaurants alone. But they were able to put together a dish of my favorite article, a la carte. Amazing food and amazing service!
