About this restaurant

Neighborhood gem
Great for outdoor dining
Great for happy hour

Having recently celebrated its 50th Anniversary on Union Street, Perry’s remains an enormously popular San Francisco institution. Perry Butler initially opened Perry’s in 1969, bringing to Union Street the hustle and bustle of the neighborhood saloons of New York’s Upper East Side. The blue and white checked tablecloths, hexagonal tiled floor, wood-paneled memorabilia clad walls, and menu of American classics produced an atmosphere that has held true today-- comfortable, inviting and cool.

Testament to its timeless appeal, Perry’s is known today, as much as ever, for its classic American food, its warm personable service and a fun, bustling bar. Perry"s traditional yet innovative menu includes a wide variety of sandwiches, salads, pastas, steaks and grilled fresh fish.

Great restaurant. Best burger ANYWHERE. The staff is over the top. Love Emily—a fresh voice of care and compassion. A neighborhood feeling whether it is your “hood” or not. Welcome home for all.

We had a reservation for an outdoor table but no table was made available. We were informed that it would be a 10-15 minute wait, and when that time came and went, we opted to sit inside. We noted other parties who had outdoor reservations had to do the same. When we were leaving, an hour after our reservation time, tables were just opening up outside.

Our server, Emily is outstanding & professional. I like to dine in her area. She is attentive; watchful but not at all intrusive. Food remains at a high level; prepared as you ask.. like my rare salmon on my salad. It's always nice to see Perry there overseeing it all. Great place, always, SL

Enjoyed the pot roast and others enjoyed their meals as well. Service was excellent. It is relatively lively atmosphere so there is some noise to contend with. Got noticeably quieter around 8:15

Perry’s on Union was wonderful as always. From the greeter who seated us to the staff that said hello as we passed them everyone was gracious and gave excellent service. Of course our hostess, Emily, was outstanding as always! I’ve been enjoying this place as long as it’s existed and it is simply the best! Thank you Mr Butler for creating and maintaining this wonderful and consistent experience!
