Best WLM Reviews

Best breakfast place in town. Been coming here for almost a decade. Even after moving out of the city, every time I'm in the area, I have to come back for their breakfast. It's still reasonably priced and the food is delicious. There's something about their chicken wings and waffles that I can get anywhere else.
Typical diner food choices but prepared really well, not heavy with grease and salt but still plenty of flavour. Their French toast and waffles are served with real pale syrup. The coffee is good. This place is just good!!! Solid and reliable.
Small quiet area with neighborhood or metered parking. Older style diner atmosphere. I ordered the "Pancake Special" for $9.75 which is fairly cheap in cost. The special had 2 Pancakes, 1 egg and 2 pieces of bacon. No complaints about the food, it was a quick stop and quick bite for food which did its job. The service and fast and attentive.
My cousin ordered the "Cable Car Ommlette" which had beef, mushrooms, onions, bell peppers and swiss cheese. Was a large portion for $13, worth the cost. Filled with ingredients to the point of it bursting. (No photo unfortately)
This place was ok. We went as we were staying down the street it was convenient. Service was fast. Plenty of food. I got eggs Benedict. The sauce did not taste homemade at all. I was disappointed. But my boyfriend loved his omlette. It was as big as the plate plenty of ingredients inside of the omlett. The decor was fun. I wish I had taken more pictures. O would go again just now for eggs Benedict.
100 % RECOMMENDED! The service is excellent, friendly and helpful. We came because I ask Julio from the Fox Car rental were I can have a good Cornbeef Hash and he recommended Cable Car Cafe. Was so worth it ????????. My wife had scramble eggs with bacon and hash brown. The server that I think is the owners is so friendly, thank you for taking care of us! You need to try a fresh squeezed orange juice ????
I love Cable Car it's a small old school breakfast spit. They have plenty of booths so there is never a wait.
You can get Everything from Breakfast to Burgers. It is always good & reasonably priced.
A must try small business in downtown South San Francisco
Visiting Family in the area, so found this little gem within walking distance of our rental. My husband had Spinach Mushroom Swiss omelette and I got the Grand Ave omelette (Spinach, Ham and cream cheese with Hollandaise) They were absolutely delicious. Vicki was the server, and she did a fabulous job by herself during a pretty busy rush. To top it all off, we ordered a Strawberry milkshake and it was the best milkshake we've had in quite a while. If you are in the area, I definitely recommend you visit this quaint little cafe.
Best Breakfast in SFO… Robert is amazing!! Check this place out for fresh ingredients, made with love, and flavor in every bite.
Best service, and best food… can’t get any better!!
