San Francisco’s Only
Dining Train Car

Step inside one of San Francisco’s most memorable late night diners. Grubstake Diner serves classic comfort food from its Pine Street dining car, giving guests the kind of old school San Francisco experience that is hard to find anywhere else.

The train car is part of what makes Grubstake more than a place to grab a meal. It is a late night gathering spot for locals, visitors, musicians, night shift workers, and anyone looking for real food after most kitchens have closed.

Come visit us at 1525 Pine Street for the full Grubstake experience: diner classics, Portuguese comfort food, milkshakes, pies, late night energy, and a vintage dining car that has become part of San Francisco food history.
