The last time I dined at V-Cafe was 2018. I am writing this review on May 10, 2022. Today my coworkers ordered Onion rings, Garlic fries, and Cheese Fries. On a scale of 1-10, I give a 5. The Cafe has 8 tables and is clean. The cashier has a plastic shield for COVID protection. For me, the choice of having a comfortable eating area is important so I give V- Cafe higher stars. The bathroom is in service although signs are everywhere in the Cafe that says otherwise. I recommend a stop only if you have no other choice.

I just ordered Fish & Chips from V Cafe via GrubHub...5/3/19 and I just have to let everyone know that Those Fish & Chips were the best I had in years! all the fish was fried to perfection, there was was no grease what so ever and the crinklel cut fries were tha bomb! Not one one fry was hard . This is very rare. 5 Stars to V Cafe for their Fish & Chips. I can't wait to try other foods on their menu.

Great food, good prices. Friendly staff and very good food. My wife had a sandwich, daughter had a cheeseburger and I had a cheese steak. We all enjoyed our food. Garlic fries were also really good.

Just like to say thanks to the owner of v’s. We were walking down the street when a random guy attacked us and we went into seeking help. He was more than kind and helped us call the police and resolve the situation. Good guy!

There's a special place in my heart for local diners. V Cafe serves burgers, cheese steaks, sandwiches and salads. Missing are brunch egg dishes, French toast, milkshakes, pancakes and waffles. My bacon cheeseburger w/garlic fries $16.50 was OK. It was a 1/3 pound patty, kind of dry. The meat was cooked correctly. There wasn't enough garlic taste in the garlic fries. Service was OK for an order at the counter establishment. The kitchen was fast.

Been here multiple times. Solid burger and cheese steaks place. Best part is that they have waffle fries and onion rings. Today, I ordered their NY steak sandwich with fries deal for $20. Steak was super soft and easy to bite without using the knife. Love that they have a bunch of hot sauce options at their condiment bar.

Hundreds and hundreds of bacon cheeseburgers later I feel like I can safely say V Cafe is my most favorite food establishment in all of SF. That’s why I feel terrible for Grubhub refunding my entire order just now for some missing bacon. They could have just refunded the difference, but they processed the refund without asking. You guys have consistently been awesome, and I just wanted to say I’m sorry.

Awesome prices! Good portions! Very tasty! 😋 Great customer service. ***Local mom and pop shop!*** The burgers are amazing! They pay attention to your order notes… 📝 SOMA fave!! Come check it out!!

Pleasantly greeted, quickly served, and I definitely enjoyed the cheesesteak I ordered. Great placement too; just a block away from the Foundry! Highly recommend for drunken nights, since they're open so late and the food served is that perfect greasy type. They do have salads and whatnot too, in case you want that.

Greasy, yet delicious comfort food. They have burgers, onion rings, and an assortment of sandwiches. Good place to quickly grab something on the go.

Freshest deep fry oil in the Bay Area! I've only had delivery but the food was perfect. One of the worst things when having something fried is the taste of stale oil or of the dish that was fried just before yours. It's amazing how many restaurants, even some of the more pricey ones, fail in that regard. Not here and for that I thank you, V Cafe. The food was well prepared and the yummy waffle fries had just the right amount of salt. Delivery was very prompt as well. I'll definitely stop in if I'm around the neighbourhood. Less than $5 for a grilled cheese and fries done perfectly in San Francisco, can't beat that!

A
Amir Afifi

Good variety of steak cheese sandwich, speedy service and pretty much neat cafe. Try their garlic Fry's for sure, if you are not going to a meeting or seeing someone. The fish and chips is ok, but I had better ones around.

C
Chris Flippen

Classic Cafe food that tastes really really good. It would be great if they had the ability to do dining seating again now that everything is opened up but other than that the burger and fries are good.

Surprisingly good honey mustard sauce. Pricing is kinda wonky, make sure you order the exact right thing or it might cost much more what you are expecting. Pesto sandwich is tasty.

Good food and large portions. The fries were only warm, but not bad. I would go back again given the chance.

Good fried food cheese steaks to soak up the party. Not a lot of seats, but people move pretty quickly as they head to the next bar in the neighborhood.

I had the half chicken parmesan with the garlic waffle fries. The food is rather good and the portions are worth the price. Definitely recommend trying it out.

Big portions. 11.95 for a 12 inch sandwich. Buy canned sodas, the machine soda was no good. The sanwich was very good.

The food is alright. I definitely think this is one of the better spots that are open late which is why I gave it 4/5 overall. The food is average quality. There's some seating and the restroom had a sign saying out of service when it wasn't.

Always visit this burger joint when in CA . Great fresh cooked to order burgers with serious fries and of course washed down with a soda! The line is long but moves quickly and if you see a free table grab it!! Always busy but adds to the atmosphere.

Great little hole in the wall...conveniently located! Excellent sammiches...just a few too many choices. Simplify! The cheese steak sammich with waffle fries came out in less than 5 minutes! Highly recommend! One was enough to share between the two of us!

Oh so deliciously greasy. Kinda pricy for what you get but it's pretty damn good. Cheese steak plus mushrooms is the way to go. And don't forget your garlic waffle fries

B

Open late night, good fries. But very mid chicken cheesesteaks. Cheesesteak, fries, and can of soda $26 not cheap at all

The salad was kinda bland. The fish from the fish and chips that I got had a nice crust but it seems like they used tilapia or something because it didn’t really taste that great. Liked the portion sizes tho

If you are veg: this is NOT the place for you. The only vegitarian meal options on the menu is a hot or cold veggie sandwhich, which contains lettuce, tomato, onion, cucumber, carrots, olives, celery, avocado, and vinaigrette dressing on a bagette roll (cold sandwich also has mayo and mustard, hot sandwhich has melted cheese, pictured). As far as I know they do not have a veggie burger patty. Beyond that, their waffle-cut fries are pretty good, and I'm sure their meat options are up to par, but their veg options have not been thought out.

We ordered takeout, and I couldn’t believe how greasy the food was. The paper bag it came in was soiled with oil when I got home. The chilli cheese fries, garlic fries, and cheese steak were mediocre. But I will say the mozzarella sticks were the best I ever had. They seemed like they were hand-coated, and the marinara was delicious.

Gone down hill from last visit pre pandemic. Lol. 2 stars for a great sized sandwich but dry. Ordered beef philly cheese sandwich was dry even with the onions, where's the cheese? A sliver against the bread doesn't count. Garlic waffle fries, they forgot garlic part... smelled garlic before leaving, got to office.. nothing. Sadness.

Good food regular fries choice sucks, too pricey was missing a few cents and she offered to delete items instead of letting me slide over a few cents, and has the audacity to have a tip jar. Got to give to receive. Kindness goes a long way

I ordered while I was on my way to the shop. Girl who answered the phone said it would take 10 min. I was only 4 minutes away. I got there and my food was already ready, super slow night. I ate at the restaurant and my food was super cold that you could see the grease on my fries. Grease was white. My sandwich was also very cold. Never again!!! No excuse. It was super slow

Way too greasy and not even real chesse on the cheese fries! For a fast food like that it was WAY too expensive! 1 Mozarella sticks + 1 Cheese Fries + 1 medium drink = 20,12 dollars !

Disgusting. Can’t believe they would serve expired and moldy edamames to their customers?? Absolutely horrible poke bowl as well, ordered yum yum sauce but got ranch instead. 0 stars, highly would not recommend this place especially for the price!
