"Absolutely delicious! We had the burger and the fried chicken, as well as a slew of charcuterie. Wow, the burger was the best I've ever had - hands down. Absolutely to die for! And the fried chicken was also extremely delicious. We absolutely loved everything."

"Every item I have tried on numerous visits to the Beast and the Hare has been fabulous. I used to live in the neighborhood, so I was a frequent visitor. Having recently moved to Bernal Heights, I have been distracted by the neighborhood gem restaurants that I can now walk to. On my return to the Beast, they welcomed me with a "Good to see you again." They are extremely personable. Don't be afraid to ask for what you need. They will meet your needs and then some. If you demand to be catered to, you will be left alone in your own corner of the restaurant. Be open to your experience. You will never leave disappointed here. Save room for the beignets. I have family in New Orleans, so I know a good beignet."

"Would highly recommend the fries w/eyes and grilled escarole salad for starters. Fries were perfectly fried and crisp on the outside, while tender on the inside. Escarole was grilled just enough to take off the bitter edge, but retain a nice bite. Rabbit w/polenta was flavorful, but the fried chicken & johnnycake entree was average. For dessert, we shared the ginger cake w/stout ice cream, which was also very average. Service was attentive and efficient, though not particularly friendly. Portions were adequate."

"I actually really hate sharing negative reviews but I gave B&H every opportunity to wow me and they failed every time. I started by calling for a reservation. I heard someone in the background tell the hostess on the phone "just tell them we don't have any reservations." Wow, how ironic. Open Table has reservations. I'll book through them! Next, the waitress hurried us into ordering before we even had drinks. I ordered the burger and had to ask how it was prepared vs. her asking me how I would like it cooked. I asked medium. It came like a hockey puck, dense, cold, well done and barely bigger than a slider - fries were cold too. We were not offered dessert, just asked if "we wanted anything else." And to seal the deal, our bill was wrong."
