Review from Cherylynn N.
San Francisco, CA
Ummm, so some things are better left unsaid much less written but hell I seem to always find a way to embarrass myself anyhow so here it goes...
With a pounding headache and an eyelash hanging on for dear life, I woke up yesterday morning to find something poking me. I reached down to find a small tip of a fry and a piece of breading in my bra. Confuzzled, I grabbed my phone to see a message, "YOU GOT SOME EXPLAINING TO DO..." later followed with "Do YOU know what you did last night?" .... "Hello?!?!? Are you alive?" by four different people. Ohhh Mr. Goose, you never fail to amaze me.
As I fumbled with the crumbs in my hand, it started to come back to me; EACH and EVERY gory detail. *Face Palm* In the midst of interrogating guys for my friends (only the best for my gfs), yacking in the bushes, and other IwillhavetokillyouifItoldyou unmentionables, I remember having two Salt & Pepper Chicken Wings and two French Fries outside of All Star Donut. Fresh out of the fryer, the All Star Donuts' Salt & Pepper Chicken Wings were piping hot, deliciously crisp, and juicy with just the right amount of savory seasoning. The French Fries were thick yet nicely crisp around the edges.
Everyone knows Chicken Wings are my Kryptonite. Whoever bought the wings, DAMN YOU! Huffing and puffing on the elliptical and stairmaster hungover while dripping goose drops was so NOT the biz yesterday.

Review from Jerico P.
Giant Vending Machine
just down the block from the school i use to work at is ALL Star Donuts. i'm split about the value that this adds to the community. on the one hand it's a treat for the kids and yes i've used a trip to All Star Donuts as an incentive, but on the other it does not really offer the healthiest things for them. i know this is one of the few places in the neighborhood the kids go to right after school. the food is cheap, it's close by and there fore is a perfect places to get their sugar fix or fried food cravings satisfied.
donuts and made to order burgers, fries, onions ring, chicken wings, sandwiches etc. accompanied by the whole back wall lined with sodas and energy drinks. i guess it beats having a corner liquor store and although people may loiter at times, at least they aren't drinking and smoking.
the place looks like it's been there for years- signs of obvious wear and tear. it could use a great deal of TLC. Oh and it is cash only which is a minor inconvenience since they have an ATM on site.
until next time
cheers! -

If you drunk after the bar trip and need to sober up - go there for hot chicken wings. Otherwise its a dump.
Don't get burgers there. My friends and me got sick on those more than twice! -

It's a donut shop, okay? Well, they also have 24-hour food, including beef teriyaki over rice, burgers, patty melt, pancakes, and even a turkey sandwich using fresh turkey. It's actually surprising that they have such a large menu for a donut shop.
The donuts themselves are so-so, but for late night food it's a good comfort-food choice. -

I and the homeless gentleman beside me alternated between watching the cook clean the griddle and the ever increasing number of police congregate outside, lights flashing. They were investigating an old sedan and the ground around it.
I had a soda, the homeless gentleman had a flavored coffee. I was happy with my choice; he seemed happy. The string of cab drivers and construction workers grabbing donuts seemed pleased as well. Judging by their average size, they seemed to know donuts.
Can't speak to the food, but I speak highly of the 4 am ambiance. -

The service may not always be the greatest, and sometimes you might get a stale doughnut, but the cheeseburgers are always good.
I dont care what anyone says.
Yes, the area is not that great, but thats not why you would go here.
Oh, and they have PINK doughnuts!!! -

Okie dokie let's get this part out of the way...this place is a total dive lol!...but dammit in a town where everything closes way too effing early it's saved my life on numerous occasions...I've tried mostly burgers, the fish n chips, the donuts and a few other items and i've been hella satisfied with everything I've ever eaten in the year or so I've been coming here...I've even gotten my uber snooty bff and roomie to come here and now he's obsessed...
The homeless dude that opens the door for you will scare the shit outta you the first time but he's pretty harmless in my opinion (hey i'm from detroit so i think most of the "scary folk" in SF are a joke~shrug~)...but outside of a badass boichyck like myself i wouldn't recommend going in there in the wee hours if you're alone...but this place kicks ass and i'm going down a proud shame spiral for rating this place 4 stars lol... -

I came here to this neck of the wood to see a client today and my god, I didn't know these prices still exist in the bay area. 3.99 for a chicken terriyaki bowl and a soda. I thought I was shot back in time.
Granted the food wasn't that good, but the amount of food that you get was crazy. There aren't that many places around here so if you ever get a hankering for fast, cheap, and food that will just keep you trucking. This is the place to come by and check out. It even has a parking lot. You spend more on paying meters down here than on the food. I would actually come back down to try other items on their menu.
Their menu is very deep. Donuts, rice plates, fried chicken, fish and chip...........they pretty much have everything. -

My hubby and I did our 9th anniversary in San Francisco. Got into our hotel and was looking for some place to eat. All Star Donuts is near by, so we hit it. Had the 10 piece salt and pepper chicken wings and fries. Nice hot juicy chicken and not expensive! We were in seventh heaven.
Not a lot of seating, but a nice variety of foods and drinks. The place was not the nicest looking, some clutter on the wall, old equipment not being used near the entry; they could use a makeover for real...
We went back there after the Giants game (they were playing Minnesota, game one) to have a snack. We did it for breakfast the next day. Good breakfast. Service was decent and to see all types of people come through to eat was wonderful!
If you like adventure and the hole in the wall experience of dining, this place is good to go too. -

Cool - my 100th review!
This place has awesome burgers! The char-grilly smell always caught my attention when I walked past with my dog so I finally stopped in. Great burger with lots of lettuce, tomato, fresh bread and extra crispy bacon. Fries are made to order so no wimpy limp ones. Donuts looked a little aged at 6pm so I'll have to try them another time.
Also, there is nothing wrong with this neighborhood. I totally disagree with "Saban". Sure, there are homeless people but check the SF police reports and you'll find only one problem 6 months ago with a dude cited for indecent exposure. I consider that free entertainment.
No dogs allowed...boo!Listed in: SOMA/ Downtown

Not much goes into reviewing a donut joint. As long as the donuts are donuts and don't cost a fortune, I'm in. This is the perfect place to come after a few beers before taking the 27 bus that picks up at the same corner.
Once I left m backpack (with my camera and laptop in it!) and the homeless dood who chills out front caught up with me to return let me know about my unfortunate and possibly drunken mistake. With that said, I have a soft spot for All Star Donuts as more than a place to get a quick deep fried fix. -

I'm a little wary of ordering chinese food and burgers at my local 24-hour crack donut SOMA dive. This place is a true dump, and of course, that means GOOD DONUTS. They make a good cinnamon twist and chocolate old fashioned, and its **especially** useful for late night role playing if you find yourself making your way across the visceral urban wasteland, drunk and on foot, between the ballpark and the panhandle....
... you might imagine you are down and out on the skids, cuz that's where you are...
You pick out a couple donuts from the shiny display case, walk out into the night, lurching down the street, white baggy in one hand, big greezy cinnamon twist in the other...
...you chomp away, pants sagging, ass crack hanging, grumbling to yourself and nearby hobos, you start to sweat, fart and just generally smell bad...
...Stop at a small darkened grove of trees next to freeway on-ramp. you pee on a shrub. Pull out chocolate old-fashioned. DON'T. TOUCH. DONUT. WITH. RIGHT. HAND....
...Passersby strain to avoid eye contact. you sneer at them. You are a borderline public nuisance now...
...Continue stumbling down darkened alleys and garbage-strewn streets. Step in filthy puddle of stagnant street broth. You're miserable now. Hobble out of the darkness and into the bright orange glare of Market Street making mumbly small talk with fellow street ilk. No, you don't want a street sheet, but at this point, can you have a stack of them to sell??
...Now feeling ill from donuts, sweatier as the stomach churns. Dig around in your pockets for any sign of loose change. Get on historic "F" car. No idea if this goes anywhere you need to be. Mumble to train operator something about getting back to Upper Haight. She's gonna drop you off at Haight and Gough. Get off...
...Stumble onto 71 bus.
Gurgle.
mumble.
stinky.
sweaty.
tired.
broke.
Fading away. Swaying back and forth. to and fro.
You are a degenerate now.
Miss stop that is closest to your house... By several stops. Maybe even measurable in miles. You don't know.
...Get off the bus at Stanyan. Traipse thru panhandle and down Fell. Take picture of self with new camera. Slog up to Fulton Street. Turn down Fulton, ahhhhh, its downhill now...
...Wobble past frat boys at the corner of Masonic and toward home trying to maintain focus. You make it to your door and totter in...
...Leave you keys in door knob all night. Your head crashes to pillow.
See? You made a fun game of it.

[sings] "Signs, signs, everywhere there's signs. / Blocking up the scenery, breaking my mind. / Eat this, don't do that, can't you read the sign?"
The freshness of my donut at 3pm is what rounded this somewhat divey burger joint up to 3-stars. The interior was clean but visually cluttered, with signs everywhere - a mix of printed, hand-written, and the ubiquitous tile-letter menu type signs. My burger was fair, though nothing special, but took a seemingly long time to come up despite me being nearly the only one there. FYI, mayo is a standard topping here, and the only cheese options (extra 50 cents) are Swiss and American (which really shouldn't count as cheese). Some of the posted policies that I noted:
- Free coffee or canned soda with hot meals (typically ~$6 breakfast, $8 lunch)
- Cash only
- No pets inside
- 1/3 lb. burger or Chicken teriyaki bowl for $2.99 from 10am - 10pm
If signs point you here for lunch or a late-night snack, you'll probably leave satisfied. Unless you get a donut to put a smile on your face. -

Right now this place is within crawling distance of where I live. Quite convenient for when I'm up really late working on photos and I have a sudden craving for sugar. Seriously... I'll be up at like 3:22 am and be famished - All Star Donuts to the rescue.
The staff is friendly, even in the middle of the night. Not the cleanest place in the world, but it's a 24 hour donut shop, whaddya expect? -

Have a hankering for fried salt & pepper chicken wings + onion rings in the middle of the night? This is the place for you. It's open 24/7, and also has a good selection of donuts, fries, and burgers.
And, they have parking for people and vehicles for a quick bite in or out.
PS: The fried salt & pepper chicken wings + onion rings were 'finger lickin good'! (I really didn't do that since I'm slightly OCD about that kind of thing, but you get the picture). -

The only downtown bakery in the city with a parking lot has landed me here for a quick AM meal. My craving was the Apple-fritter. As I walked in,I saw the most bizarre thing in the earliest morning,there were one left. My thoughts were Apple-fritter must be good from this bakery.
I told the lady behind the counter,that the last AF has my name on it. As she grab the item with the wax-paper, half of the moist apple-fritter fell to the floor. My bitter expression bursts into grief. I asked the lady for a discount on something else,but my request was denied. I bought a cup of coffee and glazed doughnut,and left.
As a employee of the city and county,every bakery or restaurants I go, I get the best treatment while on duty. But not this bakery. My Motto for this bakery:

This joint is located directly off the 5th St. off-ramp from the Bay Bridge, so it is the perfect way point for clubbers entering/leaving the city. It is also conveniently located near the Factory, 1015 Folsom, the Endup, and Glas Kat among other night spots.
Donuts - 4 stars. The apple fritters are huge and actually taste like apples. They put many apple fritters from other area donut shops to shame. They also have pork buns and hot dog rolls if you need a little meat (take that as you will). They will pop it in the microwave for you as well if you want.
Grill - 3 stars. If you want a cheeseburger, philly cheese steak, or roasted turkey breast sandwich (actually quite good, made from large pieces of turkey breast and not cold cut turkey breast) at 3 AM in these parts, there is (literally) nowhere else to turn. Some of the sandwiches are a little on the small side for the price, but again it's a captive audience thing. I think the grill shuts down between 4-6 AM, so during those hours you'll have to have donuts. They have a deep fryer on the premises so you can also enjoy fried chicken, fish and chips, fries and onion rings. They also have rice plates (teriyaki beef, chicken, shrimp) but I'm not brave enough to try them.
Drinks - 5 stars. They have a vast array of drinks (non-alcoholic) - everything from Red Bull to Vitamin Water to orange juice to soy milk - something to please everybody. My favorite is to get the Orangina with a turkey sandwich or a cheese steak.
Beggars - 1 star. All Star is located relatively close to some homeless shelters so you sometimes get people straggling in or accosting you outside, asking to clean your windshields. One guy told me he just straight up needed some money for crack. Wow. I gave him a buck for his honesty - let Darwin sort em out.
Needless to say this place is cash only. They have an ATM (with an exorbitant surcharge). I would avoid the restroom if possible. -

The location is a bit sketchy but All Star hits the spot when it's 3am and you want a donut or a fish burger. There is a homeless guy that opens the door for you, but he is very courteous. The prices are fair and even though this place doesn't stand out in terms of ambiance or food, the service is nice and you will leave satisfied.
It does get pretty rushed late at night. My friend ordered a bagel dog pastry and the worker offered to microwave it for her! Even though that doesn't seem like a huge deal, it was sweet of him to offer. -

Imagine Arnolds (from Happy Days) on some bad acid now cross that with a steady stream of characters from the movie C.H.U.D. who happen to eminate from St Vincent de Paul Society a block away (The largest homeless shelter in Northern California) .
Those are the regulars, but even scarier than that, imagine it was your job to work there, what did you do in a past life to deserve this?
Anyway the place is what it is, both the outside and inside make you want to take 2 showers.
I did get a bagel and cream chz there, it was ok
Supposedly they have a bacon, egg and cheese and coffee special for under $3, I've yet to try it, dunno if the eggs / bacon are fried or nuked (nuked eggs are no better than a 7/11 pre-made sammie)
Other's have written about the burgers or other things, can't comment on that.
I think it's open 24 hrs too, and there aren't too many places in the city that are, so count your blessings.
Bottom line, if you can eat food from a nasty looking place, then this should do you right.Listed in: 24x7x7

Having crashed at a friend of a friend's house after a party in SOMA, I stumbled onto the sidewalk somewhere on fifth street at 7 in the morning, wishing to god I wasn't wearing tall black heels as I made my way across the freeway exit.
THANK GOD for Allstar Donuts. My hangover was almost instantly cured by their exceptionally fluffy and delicious pancakes and runny over easy eggs. I found myself wondering why I pay $20 for brunch in the Castro when pancakes so satisfyingly alcohol-absorbent cost only $3.25.
The menu if frighteningly comprehensive, and the clientele is sketchy, but every now and then it's nice to stop by a place with a sign that threatens against stealing condiments. -

I'm a little bit embarrassed to rate this place so high, but my office is SO close... we joke that our office diet is beer and donuts! (It's not, but it kindof is.)
Donuts and coffee are solid... gimme a sugar twist and some donut holes and a Hazelnut Peerless Coffee to go please! (Also, today, the old guy didn't count my donut holes properly and I got an extra! Score!)
It's a well-known fact that their breakfast sandwich cures hangovers.
The crowd there can be a little bit seedy... but come on! Welcome to SOMA! I love it.
Don't use the restroom, I don't recommend the regular (non-breakfast) food unless you're too drunk to care, and it's not really a sit-down kinda joint. Pop or pull in, park, get your grub, and go. Donuts for the win! -

This is great! You know a place is a late night, after hours, desperation food dive when EVERY review from other yelpers involve keywords such as: drunk, hungover, broke, party, drunk, passed out, and did I mention drunk? Lets get things straight, when a person says "I don't remember how we got there", but feels compelled to write a proper review, I find that classic!
I on the other hand did not have the luxury of eating at All Star Donuts post late night raging and drinking debauchery. Instead, having not eaten breakfast and forced into a late afternoon lunch, I was starving! So here I am driving around in circles finding a place to grub. Suddenly I see All Star Donuts, an empty parking lot, and $2.50 terriyaki bowl..... sold!
The place is a donut/ sandwich/ hamburger/ everything place, with plenty of drinks like a convenient store. I had a glazed old fashion donut as I waited for my terriyaki bowl, and it was good. Solid glazed donut. When my $2.50 terriyaki chicken plate came out, I was stoked. Holy crap, so much food for $2.50 are you kidding me? Then things went south. The chicken wasn't half bad, the rice and veggies were mushy and the sauce, was weird. No I'm not talking like, weird as in interesting and unique, but weird as in, this is NOT terriyaki sauce, something isn't right, am I going to get sick. I managed to eat around the sauce, and veggies and walked out of there saying... ehhh, $2.50 what do you expect. Still, I would have paid $6.00 for a decent terriyaki chicken bowl. Either that or next time I'll come back completely hammered on a friday night, and it'll be 5 stars all the way! -
Review from Dela A.

Before hitting the club, my friends and I decided to stop here and get a bite to eat. Let me say this, I can remember when I worked around the corner from this place. I ate here almost daily back in 1997. I always enjoyed the fact that their donuts and muffins were fresh and they had really good teriyaki plates. I found out I was allergic to fresh blueberries once I went here back in the day because I ate a freshly made muffin and broke out in hives. But it was really good! lol
So I had a grilled chicken and shrimp teriyaki plate and my friend had a ham and cheese sandwich on rye. My teriyaki shrimp and chicken was actually really good. The teriyaki sauce tasted cheap and they put way too much on it, but it was good. Unfortunately, the veggies weren't fresh but I didn't really have high expectations for a donut shop. I just wanted something in my stomach so I wouldn't get cranky later. I asked my friend after we left how his sandwich tasted and he said that they used quality ingredients on it and it was really good.
All of my buddies had alcohol prior to leaving the hotel so you know how that goes... Everyone had to go to the bathroom. I still cant understand why alcohol makes you have to pee so fast. But anyway, my girlfriend and her man went to the loo and my friend and I took the second trip. Its funny because the key to the bathroom is on this big ass stick to ensure no one takes it. There's a chain on the back of the toilet so people don't ruin the plumbing.
As I'm standing in this bathroom, I'm reading the writing on the wall. Someone tried to get creative and write a poem... Someone else responded saying "Learn your grammer hoe." Funny cause grammar was spelled wrong and apparently they realized it after they wrote it and tried to change the e to an a. Just ridiculous stuff! I have a tendency to notice the smallest things. I'm too damn analytical!
All Star was good. I wasn't hungry afterwards and I left feeling satisfied. Its open 24 hours and you can always count on getting something decent when you're on the go.
Boy o boy... Nothing like being in a big city. -

All Star Donuts. Donuts, chinese food and hamburgers all in one spot. There are really only two situations where I find myself at All Star:
1) The fire alarm has gone off in my building at 4 am forcing me to the street and I'm tired, pissed and cold. I get a sudden urge for a gigantic donut, the bigger the better.
2) I'm drunk, slightly lost and strangely in the mood for hamburger buns and donuts.
I can't ask for more than All Star in those situations. -

When the building across the street caught on fire this week (4-alarm fire...serious business), I feared first for my own life (we are selfish creatures, aren't we), next for the safety of my apartment and its contents (our possessions are few, but they possess us, so sayeth the band Triumph in its liner notes...kidding), and finally for All Star Donuts!
This place is a guilty pleasure to be visited only when carrying a God's honest excuse: the last episode of Two-A-Days is coming, Kristin and Alex broke up!, or you just listened to the ballad on the new TImberlake record.Listed in: My Neighborhood

Not a great place to eat unless you're stranded in a desert and all-star is your lone mirage. I do question the cleanliness of this un'establishment. I've only had lunch here ONCE, and once was enought because my chicken teriyaki on rice smelled like dirty old wet towel. I only finished about 1/64 of it before I tossed it out. What's safe to consume here? I'm guessing anything that's not being cooked like bottled drinks!
The area itself is pretty ghetto. Just don't take your leisure walk down 5th nor Harrison. We're talking about stinky sidewalk with dog/people fecal everywhere and the occasional drive-by shooting. -

Hmmm.....
Do I give them five stars for willingly customizing my veggie burger with no oil, and even offering to swap in a piece of fruit for fries?
Or.
Do I give them one star for STILL loading my burger with mayo?
Sigh.
I suppose at a cheap, sketchy place like Allstars, you take what you can get, and my bad for not saying no mayo. Three stars. -

My breakfast place of choice when I'm too hungover/lazy to walk anywhere else (~This place is 20 paces from my loft). Good burgers - personal preference is the patty melt. They also make everything to order - meaning this is a MUCH better option than MC'Ds or anything else in the neighborhood. Also if you go at lunchtime, you get a free shake with any burger order.
Their breakfast egg dishes are also very good - and a great deal. Big plate with an omelette, fresh hash browns and toast for under $5.00. This is a terrific deal - especially compared to the other breakfast spots in the neighborhood.
While not a destination - this is a great place to go if you live (or are doing a walk of shame) in the vicinity... -

This a great place for me since it is so close. They don't just sell donuts, I always get the chicken teriyaki bowl. They have other stuff on the menu, their hamburgers are good too. Between 2-5pm you also get a free drink with a meal.
It is cheap and delicious so you can't go wrong. -

It's right across the street from my office so even though I don't really like donuts I still eat here for the sandwiches and burgers. These are 100% meh. Not bad. Not great. The burgers are usually a little dry / overcooked. But the fries they come with are really good fries. Always hot and never soggy.
My recommendation, they don't sell them but ask them to make you an order of chili cheese fries. Load on the extra onions and hit it with the Sriracha they keep on the counter. That's a tasty gut bomb there. -

This is as good as it gets for all 24 hours places go for in the City! Where else can you get doughnuts, Terriyaki, breakfast, or Ice Cream at the crack of 4am after you find yourself wandering the streets after a late night binge.
The place is not Ghetto, it's just the outskirts of a freeway entrance, if you want to see Ghetto go to the the TL. So don't be scared of the weirdos most of them are harmless. -

The owner's a huge skinflint (I used to live across the street and needed quarters for laundry, and he made me buy something to get change.) They have really sketchy food practices. The hobos who come in here smell like death on a stick. But it's 24 hours, greasy food, for not too much money. Fries and onion rings are a good deal and they are fried fresh (well, fresh from the freezer bag, but I digress.) I don't patronize this place often, but I'm usually drunk when I do, so it turns out OK!

HOA approval has been revoked pending further notice. This place is as bad as it looks. Servers don't know what "no bacon" means, then refuse to correct their mistake. What a waste of time.

This place is not super fancy but it does the job to feed people who are hungry late at night and want something to eat quick style. I like the fact that there are a lot of sodas and drinks to pick from and the food menu have a lot of varieties. You can get burgers, fish,chips, pasta, sandwiches or even rice bowl. Plenty of great donuts at night for people who are craving sweets. I love their sugar glazed version because they are very soft and huge size. However, the place doesn't have a lot of tables so it is best to take things to go. As for people who talks about bums hanging around.... I can't blame the place for having them because of the location. I think this is the best place to eat after a night of partying because it's near the clubs. I do admit that after 2 a.m the place gets crowed but at least I get to eat a hot meal that makes my tummy happy.
