Serving our local community for decades

San Francisco Classic

Grubstake Diner has earned its place as a San Francisco classic by staying true to what people come back for: late-night comfort food, old-school diner character, and a one-of-a-kind Pine Street dining car.

For decades, Grubstake has served locals, night-shift workers, musicians, bar-goers, hotel guests, and hungry San Franciscans looking for a real meal after most kitchens have closed. The menu brings together classic diner favorites with Portuguese comfort food, milkshakes, pies, burgers, breakfast plates, and the kind of late-night atmosphere that feels uniquely San Francisco.

Come visit us at 1525 Pine Street for the full Grubstake experience: a vintage diner, a late-night crowd, and a piece of San Francisco food history that is still serving the city today.
