Great spot for lunch, and my favorite fried chicken sandwich in the city. Grab a spot out front on a sunny day for some fun people watching, or a spot at the bar to chat with the super friendly bartenders.

Cafe Divine
1600 Stockton StreetI love sitting outside on a sunny day.
Best pizza in San Francisco. You can't make reservations, and the wait can be terrible.
Pro-tip: Put your name in, go have a cocktail and they'll txt you when your seats available.

736 Valencia StFun fact: The musician, Beck, performed here unannounced back in 2005, playing in the back where mariachi musicians typically perform. Apparently, he was mostly ignored until someone recognized him and snapped a couple of pics.
I also saw Jello Biafra from the Dead Kennedys there.
For what it's worth, you can't go wrong with a super burrito, or shrimp tacos.

Flour + Water
2401 Harrison StThe best butcher shop in San Francisco. If you're looking for something special to cook, such as a dry-aged 50-day ribeye steak, or wagyu beef. The only thing they cook is their Butcher’s burger, available weekdays Tuesday-Friday 11am to 2pm or until they sell out. It's amazing, you'll thank yourself.
