Nicole Danner's Orphan Andy's review

2025-02-02

Nicole's next stop is Orphan Andy's, a classic diner in San Francisco that has been open for 47 years. She orders the chicken fried steak and the two-two-and-two breakfast, which comes with sourdough French toast, bacon, scrambled eggs, and potatoes. The chicken fried steak is tender and comforting, with breading that softens under the gravy. The potatoes have a spicy kick, the bacon is crispy, and the thin sourdough French toast is sweet but not too sweet. Nicole says the place feels like a real diner, with jukeboxes and regulars who know each other. She also loves the light bulbs showing where staff members are from.

• Chicken fried steak: tender steak, soft fried breading, and gravy make it super comforting
• Two-two-and-two: two slices of San Francisco sourdough French toast, two bacon strips, two scrambled eggs, and potatoes
• Potatoes are spicy and soft; bacon is nice and crispy
• French toast is soft and sweet but not too sweet, and Nicole says she could eat ten
• The diner has been open 47 years with the same owners and has a jukebox and regulars
