StrawCarnival Fair Food!Very novel idea of serving carnival food with a more upscale twist.5/20/2013 12:00:00 AMComfort food with a carnivalComfort food with a carnival theme :) love it here!5/2/2013 12:00:00 AMCarnival food at its best:Carnival food at its best: mini-corn dogs & sweet potato tots for appetizers, cotton candy & deep-fried candy bars for dessert. The featured dish for the main meal is the Ringmaster: a hamburger patty slid inside a bun of two glazed donuts - and you can top it with cheese, bacon & egg. The donuts have gotten smaller since the first visit back in December so its less exciting now but there are other dishes to try. Check out the menu online.
Its a tiny space, reservations are usually needed. Its a funky, vibrant space: leave you snooty dining pals at home.4/26/2013 12:00:00 AMi really enjoyed our carniei really enjoyed our carnie fest at sraw! menus in old children's books, house-made potato chip nachos, a top-notch veggie cheesesteak, unidentified fried fun size candy bars, crayons, and my pink cotton candy cocktail was poured over real cotton candy right at the table!4/19/2013 12:00:00 AMLOVE this place -- very funLOVE this place -- very fun menu, inexpensive happy hour will decent quality selections, attentive staff and owner. It's very casual, verging on rustic interior, but the special touches (storybook cover menus, creative meals, snack and drink offerings, the carnival fun) make it both delightful and nourishing eats and experience. A hidden gem, for sure. A great alternative in the Hayes Valley area just before a show at the SFJazz Center.4/5/2013 12:00:00 AMDefinitely Recommend!Excellent waitress, great carnival insipired food, awesome price!
