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.

    This restaurant has been here forever and I'm so glad it has survived all of the ups and downs of the times. It is now definitely a neighborhood restaurant. Super casual. Lights are pretty bright. Cute colorful tablecloths. Great waiter. Dinner menu has everything from Reuben sandwiches to spaghetti and meatballs to pot roast and mashed potatoes. Enjoyed a relaxing after work early dinner with my daughter who lives close-by. Loved the casual and inviting ambiance. Busy with locals, young and old. Will definitely be back and would definitely recommend for casual friendly dining. Not a particularly romantic spot so keep that in mind if that is what you are looking for but great for a family dinner or dinner with friends who don't want to mortgage the house to pay for a good meal in a cozy casual setting. perfect for a really rainy night.

    The two of us lunched on a Sunday afternoon in the small area to the rear of the bar. The restaurant was busy, friendly and inviting. I had the salami chopped salad and my friend had a brunch-inspired breakfast sandwich. Prices were typical of SF restos and we enjoyed our meals. The wines-by-the-glass menu offers a nice variety of selections. I opted for the Ridge zinfandel, which is about mid-range, and wasn't disappointed. I've never had a poor experience at any of the Perry's restaurants, but Union Street remains my favorite. A special call-out to the staff for making the experience special.

    Table of five was ready upon arrival. We sat in back room which was perfect, less noisy than bar front area. Everyone cleaned their plates. Onion soup was superb. My steak was enough for two so I shared bites with my guests. Recommend serving steak with condiments (A1, mustard). I loved the fresh slaw and sinfully rich creamed spinach. So nice to see Perry’s keeps menu uniform over the years. Friendly service . Bartender made fresh lemonade with agave syrup on the side to sweeten it.

    Mediocre at best. Halibut overcooked and the batter on the special fish and chips was soggy.

    Perry's Union StreetResponded on February 9, 2023We are so sorry that the food missed the mark on your visit! Those are two of our most popular menu items, but clearly they were not executed properly on this occasion. We hope you will consider a return visit to Perry's on Union!

    We were able to get a reservation for 10 of us for lunch on Christmas Eve, no problem. The GM was very accommodating to us, especially since they were VERY busy on Christmas Eve. Food was excellent as always. Service was great. I've been going to Perry's for 42+ years and have never been disappointed. Thank you!

    Perry’s is one of San Francisco’s greatest establishments ever! Love it any day of the week especially Christmas week when the vibe is mingling and jingling. My Bacon Cheeseburger was cooked to perfection and the service rocks. The Perry’s Rose of the Day rocks for just $11/glass - so good we indulged in multiple glasses!

    Not impressed with the food or service. Everything came out at different times so I was sitting waiting for a drink while everyone else had theirs and the same thing happened with the food. The food looked terrible and my fruit was old. I’d have said something but there wasn’t an interest from our server.
