Diner Reviews
  • "This was my second visit to F3. This time I chose it for a business lunch. Unfortunately it took more than 30 minutes for the meal to arrive because the kitchen "missed " the order. The food remains attractive for a spin on fast food with a gallic touch. (My boudin blanc with onions was very tasty). However, the service glitch overshadowed the appreciation of the meal, and I'm not sure my colleagues would return."

  • "Been there three times in the last 2 weeks. Lunch and early dinner quieter. Saturday dinner super noisy and crazy."
    Dined on 2/26/2014
  • "Don't know if this is American comfort food translated into French or the other way around -- probably the former. It's fun creative food that doesn't take itself too seriously except that it's really good. Service is good, wine and beer lists interesting if limited. Entertaining and satisfying!"
    Dined on 2/23/2014
  • "This is the second time I've been to F3 in the past 90 days. And I encountered the same thing: takes way too long to be able to order a drink when you arrive or to get a drink delivered. And service can be spotty throughout dinner and certainly afterwards (when you're kind of abandoned, rather than be asked if you want something further)."

  • "We were hugely disappointed. The hostess was nasty from the start. Sat us right by the bathroom when other tables were open, and gave lame excuse of other customers requesting the other specific tables, which along a wall of tables, not special. we contemplated leaving but stayed bc we had a gift certificate. the food was bleh. They were out of the special soup at 7 pm. The brussel sprouts app was great, the duck and fried chicken sandwiches weren't worth the price. The chocolate mouse was horrible. Like jello pudding. And really bad accustics- everyone was screaming to talk to their dinner companions and driving bass too loud. Then they wouldn't accept the gift certificate , so we were wishing we'd left when we had a chance."

  • "The best burgers! Plus they change the menu regularly. Very helpful, friendly, happy staff - very courteous - just a really great place!"

  • "Something about it just works for me. I love the French interpretations of American comfort foods. They brings back many memories - both of my childhood and of visits to France. The food is also amazingly well priced. Although very busy I have always been able to get a table on short-notice on Friday or Saturday nights - so it's great for last minute plans."

  • "I've had some good meals here and some not so good. Prices are very inexpensive. They could raise them a few dollars and improve the food quality. Considering its the folks from L' Garage they could do better."

  • "Food is so delicious and different!! Prices are moderate... Great value given the high quality and creativity of the menu. Wonderful spot to meet friends and have a great meal!! Beef soup ... Brussels sprout chips... Yum!"

  • "We went to FFF as a party of four on a Friday night, and found the noise-level to be very loud both at the bar and at our table, which made conversation hard. We all had burgers, and I've noticed that from previous visits (for takeout), that the burger sizes and quality has tapered off, which was disappointing. Service was OK, not good nor bad."

  • "The menu at Fast Food Francais is wonderful......there are so many choices. But, my favorite has been the burger made with lamb. Recently I tried the Iceberg lettuce salad with the wild boar bacon and that was great. I will be back again soon."

  • "Great selection of moderately priced yet interesting and delicious choices...Thierry,who is in charge is always gracious and super charming...all in all,a real asset of a place for Marin!!"

  • "The kale salad was boring, flavorless, and uninteresting. The F3 appetizer was good, but nothing spectacular. We also got the chicken wings which were boring and flavorless too. Our waiter Michael was awesome however."
    Dined on 1/9/2014
  • "The food here is absolutely awesome! We shared the brussel sprouts chips -- our 7 year olds ate so much, we ordered another round. We also shared the tater tots (like deep fried mashed potatoes) and the cheese fries (with adult cheese, so yummy). The lamb burger was perfect and all of the accompaniments were just right. I look forward to many more meals here and to trying all of the menu offerings."

  • "This was our first time to F3 and we loved it. The quality of the food was very impressive. The pricing was great and service wonderful. We have been to L'Apart many times and this is a great addition to their group."

  • "Just a fun place to entertain someone or go with someone special. The food is wonderful, the service good, and everyone just seems to be having a great time!"

  • "I am always delighted when I find a place that can turn an ordinary food like burgers into extraordinary! The is chic but casual. I had the BOS burger and it was the most perfect burger I have tasted --from the bun to the meat to the other bun. it was SO DELISH. I've also had the fish sticks, as recommended by the waitress. It was different from other fried fish I've had before. It was interesting, but I wouldn't say it was the best thing ever. BOS burger, however, was definitely a top-notch. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who visits Sausalito."

  • "F3 has amazing food! The back room is very casual and family friendly. The fast food is delicious, and not fast food, price-wise."

  • "Fast Food Francais was okay. Nothing terrible about it but not much to make it stand out. I wouldn't go out of my way to eat there again."

  • "what a little gem of a place! The burgers may appear small at first, but boy are they rich, tasty and satisfying. Fries are perfect as are all of the other sides. The maitre d' has a wonderful and welcoming personality and always makes you feel like a valued patron. And the French accent is a sure killer for the ladies. I haven't sat at the bar but from across the restaurant it looks like quite the scene. Will definitely be back with friends!"

  • "A great little restaurant. Although we reserved for an early table (6:45) on a weeknight, it did not appear to be overly crowded and we probably could have walked in. The food was of excellent quality and well-prepared according to our requests. We had a reasonably priced bottle of Rhone wine which was a bit tannic, but a good food wine. The server was willing and mostly able. It was clear he did not have a great deal of experience, but he was sincere and trying his best. We will definitely be back."
    Dined on 12/17/2013
  • "F3 is truly Fast - we enjoyed our meal in under 45 mins wthout a rush. Food was great in a casual bar sort of way. Brussels sprouts chips are a standout, but sandos and salads good enough to share. Francais - yes just French enough and no attitude. Great for before a movie."
    Dined on 12/14/2013
  • "Great bar although we wish they stocked Canadian Club. Appetizers are terrific--especially the brussle sprouts chips. Who would think?"

  • "My fried and I met at 11:30 on a Saturday, so it was nice and quiet and we could have a great chat. My friend also has a severe gluten allergy and they were able to prepare a great meal for her. Lovely atmosphere, great food...awesome staff!"

  • "Went with family for Thanksgiving at 1:30. Great food and service very good. We enjoyed the presentation and French touch on Thanksgiving meal. My son is vegetarian and appreciated the menu choices. Cocktails very good and liked the the seasonal cocktail."
    Dined on 11/28/2013
  • "We liked everything about this place but the noise level. We had a difficult time carrying on a conversation in our party of six, so I would only recommended it for married couples who don't want to talk to each other!"
    Dined on 11/30/2013
  • "It's usually difficult to get into the F3 as they are normally booked weeks in advance. We decided to book for Thanksgiving day. We were wary at first but as soon as we entered the establishment and were greeted by a friendly and helpful staff, we were excited to see what else was ahead. The delectable flavors in the gravy sauce were exquisite, it seemed to have a hint of lobster or oyster flavor in the base. The turkey was cooked to perfection: moist and the skin had a perfect crunch with a hint of sea salt. The layered roasted butternut squash and chevere made the perfect accompaniment to the light endive, roasted sliced almond and pomegranate seed salad. Our guest's Angus Grass-fed, french cheese hamburger was flavorful and fresh."

  • "Wonderful Thanksgiving dinner! Great service, amazing food, and helped us make our holiday special!"
    Dined on 11/28/2013
  • "We went here for Thanksgiving because everywhere else was so expensive, and we had a very good meal. The oyster stew was great, and the turkey was perfectly cooked--nice and moist. Desserts were yummy. We're going to have to try the regular menu on another visit."

  • "The dining experience at Fast Food Francais has been consistently delightful. On three occasions, my wife and I have dined there, we have followed the suggestions of the special of the day, and we have been delighted every time. Take a look at the menu: many novel and fun small portion appetizer treats to try. My son gives the basic burger a thumbs up. It is way too noisy for my taste unless I dine on the upper seating level. It did look like a lot of other folks were having fun rubbing elbows on the relatively boisterous main level. Be warned, Sausalito has a fleet of very aggressive meter maids and some very unfriendly parking rules, so watch the street parking signage carefully."

  • "We tried this restaurant when it first opened and liked it a lot, this was our second visit and it was packed. Glad to see it is so successful. Tom had standard cheeseburger, I had the beef marrow, aioli, shallots burger which was great. Both cooked to the specified degree of doneness, meat patty matched bun size, condiments (pickled onions, gherkins) very good. Frites were good although not spectacular. Brussels' sprouts were excellent. Only issue with service was had to ask multiple times for requested items (ice for water, extra napkins)."

  • "Wonderful selections, as always. One of our favorite new restaurants."

  • "We were seated immediately for our reservation on a Sat. night. It took 15 minutes to receive water. Once we ordered, the food took over a 1/2 hour to come - first courses kale Caesar and fried brussel sprouts (both good). Our hamburgers took another 1/2 hour to arrive. The people sitting to the right of us seemed to have the same issue. However, 2/3 into our first course, a party of three (who brought their own wine and seemed to know the maitre'd) ordered and received their food in 5 minutes. We had ordered French fries with our burgers, but we were almost finished when the fries arrived. We sent them back saying too late; another order came 5 minutes later; sent them back. Summary: good food, bad and/or selective service."

  • "Always greeted with a friendly face at F3. The newest addition to Sausalito could not be more in tune with just what we needed. A casual, happening spot with fabulous food, great service and a vibrant bar scene. Hard not to love F3 and return often to enjoy all it has to offer. Bravo F3"

  • "I loved this restaurant the last time I ate there. This time, the food, while sounding quite good from the server's description and from the menu, was disappointing. A little too innovative without the requisite "good taste" - the salmon burger had both lox and cooked salmon resulting in odd textures and the bread was too hard to eat for my companion. My "tuna salad" was really tuna confit on top of pureed beans...too mushy in texture. However the frites with cantal were to die for. Those and a drink would have been enough for lunch for us. We'll give the restaurant another try as we love their sister restaurants."
