Tad's Steakhouse

Patricia Ferguson

Last time I ate here it was in a different location and possibly under different management. This location is right next to a parking garage which is really convenient. The atmosphere is really nice and cozy. When you walk in you see them grilling on the left. You place your order upfront (all payments accepted). They have either the ny strip or ribeye. They have chicken too. The ordering process is efficient. Place your order (which comes with two sides of your choice), pay and be provided a numbered pager and tray with anything that's already ready. Now choose your seat and a server will bring your meal to your table. So in that aspect it's a good system. Now where it falls short... let's start by saying I am really accustomed to Tads Steakhouse since I was a child. Growing up we had 3 in NYC! In which I've dined at all of them over the years. Sadly, that era has come to an end and they are no more . Now, when they served you a steak they would top it with an au just sauce (no steak sauce needed) and MELTED butter! But here, there is no au jus sauce and definitely no melted butter (blasphemous lol). They do however offer regular butter and garlic butter to top the steak. Also, NYC Tad's provides you with a long buttery piece of garlic bread which had the right amount of salted butter flavor. This place gives you "garlic" bread which seems to lack any real garlic butter flavor... and let me reiterate, NO MELTED BUTTER to pour over it... *sigh* lmao... I don't know.. is it too hard to create a nice natural sauce topping from beef juice? Is it too hard to melt butter and have it on the side in case others may like it drizzled on their steak and/or bread. Perhaps I'm a spoiled New Yorker but I believe others would also enjoy this and this spot would be even better than it is now!

Yeahoo Whoyah

Good enough that we returned for breakfast the day after having lunch. My sister said the coffee wasn’t good. Coffee good enough for me and so was the food. “Famous” steak dinner for lunch and then breakfast “San Francisco Omelette”. Good location convenient to Union Square. I’d have rated 4-star but for the coffee.

The new Tad's location on Eddy is a huge improvement. Sleek and modern with a sports bar atmosphere (5 large tvs) and some outdoor seating (covered) with heaters. The bar itself is small. You still order in a line-up, food is brought to uour table. Definitely a good place for large groups. The food is good, about what you'd expect, a decent value for the area. My hamburger patty was frozen but with good char grilled flavor, hash browns frozen but made with real butter, sour dough toast wasn't as fresh as it should be. If you want better diner food, the Pinecrest Diner nearby is better but a little bit in pricier. I would still recommend both. Service was excellent. New ownership and/or management is clearly evident.

Great place to stop and eat when in SF. We are going to a Giants game today and parked in a lot not too far from Tad’s. We love our breakfast food so we both got omelettes. Both super good and we finished everything. I also had the chicken soup. Must try! I don’t care for Kale in soup but it was so good.
