“ 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 ”
“ 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 has the best chicken fried steak in the bay area. I cant find any place that makes it better and Ive tried. Ive converted many others to this cozy cafe just for this dish. The owners are also super friendly and chatty if you like that small town feeling. I like my sauce on the side and which is why its in another bowl. Try this dish out. You wont be disappointed. ”
“ I love Cable Car its a small old school breakfast spot. 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 ”
