What Pearl Hernandez likes about Derf's Café:
This place is on the corner of mission and state. I honestly don't know how they stay in business after all of these years. The food is mediocre and it's way over priced. If you're looking to level up and find something significantly better just go across the street to the daily grind. way better everything. Parking: Park on the street. They also have a few lot spaces. View all feedback.
