• First to Review

This is the new version of Bernal Heights Pizza, the Brazilllian pizza is back!

Assuming you're looking this up for IMAX:

If you sit in the front row and try to watch a 3D movie, the glasses only allow you to see 60-70% of the screen at one time - which wasn't a problem at all for Star Wars. Non 3D movies, everything would have been fine.

The Laser IMAX does give some pretty bright whites, but if you've got 3D glasses on, you're dimming the picture so it doesn't matter too much.

Made a service request on their website on Thursday night, I had Alex come out on a Saturday morning (no extra charge) and fix my broken fridge/freezer in 20 minutes.

Awesome.

Super helpful, knowledgeable, friendly phone staff, and always delivered on time, in under an hour from delivery.

Best online menu I've ever seen, and each variety is the same price.
This might not be some people's cup of tea, but I find it just makes everything super simple.

I think it's nuts that I can get green delivered to my house faster than pizza, but hey, that's The Green Cross.

Plus they don't accept tips, so I don't even have to feel like a jerk.

It's been a while since I've had dinner here, and that was definitely a 5 star experience.

However, I went in for happy hour. The bar food is discounted too. Call me girly, but the sake mojito was refreshing and what I needed for a pick me up.

Then I ordered the grilled duck hearts. $3 and you get 2 skewers with 3-4 hearts. Grilled to perfection and come with ultrafine red pepper to dip them in.

Perfect little grape sized morsels of meat that simultaneously melt in your mouth and tell vegetarians to fuck off.

Even though they have some good vegetarian food, I gueessssssssss.

They have the best burger patty I've had in a long time.

A fact that they are more than happy to brag about.

Nothing else about them really stands out. Mediocre bun and sides, fries come at $4, etc etc.

It's kinda like you poured a shot of Grey Goose into a glass. Nice start to a cocktail you got there. ...oh, you're just going to pour concentrated orange juice on top?

And then charge me a buck for a marashino on top?

I really wish I was the kind of person who could afford to eat here for what it is. Really good burgers, but $20 and they come with paper plates and plastic cups?

Can I get a pack of crayons at least?

No?  I can save up 5 receipts and trade them in for a $2 ashtray though? Awesome.

Really good.

Although it's pretty much El Farolito across the street.

They don't do anything unique, as far as I can tell, besides goat lengua on weekends.

However, it's just not as tasty, in my opinion, and they are skimpier with the lengua.

Plus, they only take cash, and are a bit slower.

Wow.

Got a crayfish poboy. Way too many crayfish on the sandwich to fold it properly, the bread was super soft, yet crusty.

I don't even know what to say about the food. No bullshit, just really good food.

As for the atmosphere, it's inside a dive bar. Pool Table in the back, Fake pinball before that, televisions playing football, authentic flies shipped in straight from New Orleans, and when we were eating a man was playing dice with the bartender.

When we finished eating, server brought over a slice of the best sweet potato pie I've had in my entire life to share.

Trivia Mondays and Karaoke Thursdays? Could it be any more awesome?

I believe that at one point, Magnolia had awesome cupcakes.
My friends raved about them, I heard they were "must try"

Then we went, waited in line 20 minutes, which I have no problem with, and finally got in, got a box of 4 for my friends and I, and we stood outside and tried em out.

What. The Fuck.

The cakes were somewhat moist, and that was the only positive I can put out for these awful, vile things.

The cake had no actual flavor. If they had just been slices of week old wonder bread, I probably would have enjoyed them more. The chocolate cupcakes didn't have enough chocolate flavor for me to confirm in my mind that they actually used cocoa over brown food color.

The frosting was awful. I tried to do a google search for synonyms for awful to find a worse word, but nothing fit the bullshit that these cupcakes were. First off, I got all excited when they put a "fresh" tray of cupcakes out, until I realized that they were fresh from the fridge display case. Result? Nasty ass frosting crust.

This would have been acceptable had the frosting had a flavor besides "Crusty Simple Syrup"

So, to reiterate, completely mediocre cakes topped with absolutely disgusting frosting.

All of us took one or two bites, then threw whatever leftovers we had into the trash. For whatever reason, the Japanese dudes we were hanging out with absolutely loved them though.

This was after a walking tour of L'art Del Gelato, Bleecker St Pizza, and Cones.

All of those were wonderful experiences, and Magnolia Bakery fucking ruined my day.

I just ate here for lunch today.

Did you know that not only do they serve burgers, but the BEST burger in San Francisco?

Zuni Cafe ain't shit next to Abigail's.

Finely ground beef, served with perfect, chewy, thick cut bacon, on house baked bread, and, it comes with crispy melt in your mouth fries.

That's sweeter than a pussy soaked in apple juice.

Not to mention awesome pastries, NUTELLA GELATO, and a super cute waitress. I didn't catch her name, Mandy? Sandy?

Whatever, just keep serving me the fine, delicious food you can only get at Abigail's Cafe.
