Oldest Restaurants in the San Francisco Area


Recommended Posts

[This list is (obviously) in a nascent stage, and will be filled in over time. Refer to our Washington, DC list to see its potential. To be eligible, the restaurant had to be open when this community was founded on Apr 15, 2005, and also to have opened prior to 1980 - an asterisk means the restaurant closed between Apr 15, 2005 and today. Please help us maintain this list by sending DonRocks or Sundae in the Park a PM with any corrections or new information. Cheers, Rocks]
