Roadside BBQ
3751 Geary Blvd
(between 2nd Ave & Arguello Blvd)
(415) 221-7427
My poor friend ABM up and moved out of the Mission into the far reaches of the Richmond, all to cohabitate with his fiancee. This means that easy access to Popeye’s and other fixings that remind him of his hometown of New Orleans are few and far between (until Hard Knox Cafe opened up a branch, recently.)

Eater SF alerted me to the news of Hard Knox prepping a space in the Outer Richmond for its soul food goodness. Their current digs are in the Dogpatch part of town, which I reviewed last year, so this new location amongst my peoples will be a welcome addition.
(Bryant, you’ll only have 5 blocks to go if you’re looking for some fried catfish, fried chicken, or delicious pork chops and cornbread muffins.)
I’m looking forward to the invite to check out store #2…and am hoping the garlic powder flavor that seemed to be pervasive in my pork chops during my first visit is remedied.

Brother’s Restaurant
4128 Geary Blvd
San Francisco, CA 94101
(415) 387-7991
If you’re looking for some cheap eats around lunchtime, the famous Brother’s Restaurant on Geary has a daily lunch special where you can get chicken, pork, or beef bulgogi (that’s Korean BBQ) for $7.95. That’s a little more than I usually pay for food but you have to remember that in general, Korean food is going to be more expensive than the real cheap eats which usually fall into the Chinese or Mexican food categories.
Note what $7.95 gets you:

Shanghai Dumpling King
3319 Balboa Street
(between 34th Ave & 35th Ave)
San Francisco, CA 94121
(415) 387-2088
One of the Chronicle’s listed bargain bites, I had to go check this out for myself, since not all of those items on the list are cheap enough for my tastes. Conclusion? Very darn good. Four people, 5-6 dishes, $10 each.
We ordered their signature steamed dumplings, some special potsticker-shaped dumpling in hot oil, a lion’s head meatball soup, some fried sweet bread with evaporated milk dip, a fried rice cake dish, and then another type of ball (looked like cooked mochi) in spicy oil.
