Darren's Cafe

My family was visiting from NJ and we wanted to have a good hot brunch. Walked through Fishermans Wharf until this establishment caught my mother in law attention. We had a small Havanese dog with us and it was great that they were pet- friendly. We ordered everything from corn beef with eggs, pho with beef, the chicken /steak combination and all the food was great and served hot. Very quick service and servers were all friendly and professional. Strongly recommend this resto.

Good place for breakfast (waffle and eggs were great) this time I just had a coffee sitting on the sidewalk on a beautiful morning. Staff is attentive and recognized me from a visit a couple weeks ago.

Bolice Man frequents this place as does an older Oriental gentleman and they spell things out for him.

I live nearby and hit Darrens regularly for lunch and dinner and am always so impressed. The range of foods they make, from American breakfast and sandwiches, to their Pho and rice dishes, it’s always perfect and super fast and the wait staff are the friendliest and most professional. Each one acts like it’s their restaurant which really makes a difference. (Maybe that’s the case. Maybe they’re family?)Highly recommend!!

Food was good a mix of American and Vietnamese. Service was excellent. 4 star since some of orders were canceled die to unavailability. If it's on the menu it's got to be on the table. But whatever was served it was nice.

We ate there the last 3 mornings. The food was good and the staff were attentive. Would recommend it to anyone visiting the San Francisco area

I work near by, I've been going here since they opened about 12 yrs ago. The ABSOLUTE best place.

The food at Darren’s Cafe is absolutely delicious! The staff is also very friendly, tending to your very need. My experience was amazing. Thank you!

So many options! My whole family found food they liked, and the prime spot in SF was super nice. The front patio was great for people watching.

Very fast service and really tasty food! Prices are very fair for the Marina. The staff is incredibly friendly and accommodating. They even offered to get a water bowl for our dog! There are heaters outside, which helps a lot as it can get quite windy.

Really good food! Great for traditional American food as well as Asian food! Eating inside was a tad tight, but other then that, everything was great

Good service and breakfast was delicious. My veggie omelette was perfect and country style potatoes were delicious.

Friendly staff. Affordable. Coffee always filled. Tasty food. Quick. Centrally located. Pho is bomb. Came here two mornings is a row with two young kids. Everyone at everything. Tip: split a full breakfast combo between 2 kids. $5 and change per kid.

Great food, and even made a special off the menu gluten free dish for my wife!

Great breakfast spot. Great, classic omelettes to authentic pho. Always friendly service.

The variety of food here is pretty ridiculous. Vietnamese food WITH American breakfast? What more can you ask for? We got French Toast with some Vietnamese noodles. How cool is that?! The service was pretty great initially but then it trailed off. Right when we needed it. We didn't need them pestering us for our order every minute. But when we ordered two entrees and wanted extra plates/bowls, they somehow disappeared. And didn't think that we would even need extra plates/bowls.Either way, the food was great and the service was okay in the end. Place is reasonably big and wasn't too crowded (we got a seat immediately). I have and will definitely come back here again.

A place to stop for a quick breakfast. Good service, but food's nothing fancy, hashbrowns seem to have been made out of boiled potatoes, tuna met very salty.

Darren's is a great restaurant and you won't find nicer service anywhere. They have a huge menu and there prices are really great. Good job everyone.

Menu is available all day, if I remember correctly. Service was quick. Food was hot. Staff is friendly

A busy popular breakfast spot just off Fishermans’ Wharf This small cafe was busy even at 9 in the morning. We were lucky to arrive when we did, because ten minutes later people were queuing on the street outside for breakfast. By the time we left there were 10 people in the queue, but the wait will have been worth it. My breakfast called a Popeye Scramble, was named for the cartoon character, it was just what Popeye would have ordered, rich spinach with its iron flavour, going well with minced (or ground as they say here) beef in scrambled eggs, with lovely juicy potatoes and spring onions.My partner opted for Corned beef hash and two eggs. My partner felt this was a perfect mix of corned beef and potatoes in the hash. Both breakfasts came with toast white for my partner, sourdough for me.

Delicious food and friendly promo service. I had the spicy phó which was delicious

It was really good chicken vermicelli that we had here along with the four cheese sandwich. Recommended for breakfast! It was conveniently located near fisherman’s wharf and we came here for breakfast before heading for the hoponhopoff tour.

Super friendly and quick service when we went in for breakfast with a pretty big group!

Reasonably priced lunch spot in a overpriced tourist area. A mix of American, Vietnamese and Chinese options. The pho and bahn mi are great, as are the classic sandwiches and burger. I'm a big fan of the potato salad too, and always go with it over the fries.

The food was very good. Service is friendly

This little spot is excellent. There are plenty of traditional American breakfast selections (e.g. omelets, pancakes, french toast, eggs over easy, bacon, sausage, etc). There are also other delicious offerings such as fresh homemade noodles in various dishes and egg rolls and pho. You will find great food at great prices. You can't go wrong at Darren's.

Great food with a lot of choices. Good prices. Very friendly folks that give great service. Will definitely be back!

Excellent, excellent, excellent!!! this restaurant really doesn't stand out as you're walking by but if you stop and eat here the food is amazing. The portions are very generous and the service is great.

I real love this place，Their breakfast and lunch are delicious and satisfy the needs of various ethnic groups！

Just the right amount of food. Perfect to start the day.

First time here. Great place to eat at if your visiting!Food presentation was very well put and everything had good flavor to it.👍

Good food! Fast service!

Excellent breakfast spot. Serves breakfast all day. The Bay Area omlet is amazing. It has baby shrimp, spinach, mushroom and Swiss cheese. And the price point is only $13.95 includes potatoes and bread. I recommend the sourdough.

Great food. Good service. Very nice staff.

I work near by, I've been going here since they opened about 12 yrs ago. The ABSOLUTE best place.

The best breakfast I have ever had!! Service was great and food was fast!!!

Great place for breakfast. Big choice menu, all food cooked fresh, and great friendly service. Perfect location for pier access, just half a block back.

Wow. Fast, friendly, service. Excellent pricing for San Francisco. No waiting. Can't wait to try their lunch menu.

I ordered chicken fried steak and eggs. It was delicious and crispy. Service was good. Nice small restaurant near Pier 39. Price was reasonable. Would revisit again if Im in area.

It's a good place if you want to get quickly. People here are very friendly. I normally like chow mein and rice plate here. But today tried the fried rice which was salty so giving 4 stars.

Was ok place for breakfast. Had the chow mein was ok just not saucy like I'm used to. But was cool to have this for breakfast

Nice environment, good coffee and nice service. The meal was great, but I overestimated my hunger and ask for the pile of chocolate chip pancakes - the reduced size was going to be more than enough.

my favorite place definitely recommend it. great customer service kevin and Eva thank you.The food is delicious!

Great place and great service food and coffee great.... but nothing interesting or exceptional

As always, this gem of a place never disappoints. A must if you're near the Pier 39 area.

Delicious breakfast. Very friendly service!

Nice place for quick breakfast. I tried 3 eggs omelette E7 from their menu called as TK's. It was very filling and very well prepared
