Effie's Restaurant & Bar

Stephanie McLellan

The Bay Area food scene has a lot going for it, but its biggest gap is the lack of diners. Effie's is a fancy version of a very good diner. Their menu is extensive and they have a full bar. I ordered one of my diner faves -- a triple decker (known at Effie's as the house club) -- and holy cow, it was fantastic. Real roast turkey -- not the slimy deli version -- on sourdough with bacon, shredded lettuce, tomato, and mayo. I immediately wanted to come back the following week to order it all over again, but unfortunately, Effie's is out of my way. Maybe I will become a monthly regular, though! Also had to try their chocolate/vanilla cake (forget the name), which is made fresh daily, and it was heavenly -- rich, indulgent sugar bomb of my diner dreams.

Huge portions, friendly staff. Great value. Will return. Cobb salad was huge and yummy. French onion soup out of this world.
