Great place to grab a quick bite - plus with 20% off coupon found on their website it is a great deal!

Terrible staff who can't be bothered so serve you, with a really rude attitude and then poor quality of food to boot. Overpriced and haphazard, this is really a place to walk straight past.

We ate here for dinner in early May and weren't disappointed. Cheerfully greeted, swiftly seated and great table service. I had pasta, hubby had a burger. Pasta was amazing, burger cooked to precise request. Server was constantly making sure we were ok. Will definitely be back.

Not the best burger I've ever had, and the waitress messed up my order too. But the grilled cheese was very tasty, and the fries were great too.

Lori's is a small diner chain in San Francisco. They have the best corned beef hash I have ever had. They are a traditional diner with a counter and booths. It's fun to watch the cooks turn and burn. They are fast and good.

Typical Diner (as far as I know - I'm european!) Cheap and tasty, but don't count the calories. A few halthy alternatives (Fruit bowl for breakfast etc.) The staff are effective and polite

Wow - what a great find. We arrived in San Francisco quite late- with not a clue where to go for dinner. We thought we'd end up eating something rubbishy, just because it was late and we were tired. I had salmon and steamed vegetables - Just what I was craving after almost a month of travel. Beautifully cooked and... More

The main Lori's that we used to go to on Powell Street had closed and we ended up here instead. The service had a Monday morning feeling to it ('I have to be here because they pay me') and even the food was not the same. We were sat next to the till and the place did not have the... More

We had lost track of time and suddenly found ourselves feeling a little peckish. Looking for somewhere we spotted Lori's across the road. It has a 50s retro fitout, the menu is extensive, catering for breakfast, lunch and dinner and it is very reasonab,y priced. We paid $25 for two and this included a glass of wine and a beer.... More

Stopped for breakfast with omelet. Waitresses were charming and attentive. Wasn't too expensive and a good value. Would definitely return.
