Heist Restaurant

Heist closed in April 2023. Unsecure when or if will reopen.

It was really good overall! I would return. I was pleased with the amount if food and the service. I live in the bay and was in SF early for a bit. They open at 8 and food is fast! Good place to grab a bite.

I had a hamburger with no bun. They do not have gf buns. I didn't get sick. They don't have a dedicated fryer. So stay away from the fries. Everyone talks about the pancakes. They cook them on the same surface as the regular pancakes. So, it's not celiac safe.

GF pancakes are the absolute best I have had. We actually went back for a second time while in San Francisco. Definitely recommend visiting the Heist Restaurant.

The pancakes were amazing. Very fluffy! And also a lot of different gf-options. The staff paid attention and noted „gluten allergy!“ on the order and receipt.

Wow! Everything was so good here! The GF pancakes have a berry compound butter and berry compote and were so good! The pancakes themselves are good with a bit of cinnamon in them. My husband ordered an amazing egg dish. Glutenous pancakes were also reported to be quite good. And, coffee was really good.

GF pancakes were delicious! No vegan butter but fruit compote was a perfect topping. Chorizo is HOT. Service was friendly and quick considering how busy they were at 8:30am.

This is a perfect example of a menu that states gluten free but they have zero understanding of what that means. They had no idea what ingredients were in their items. No clue about allergens. Stay away!

Had pancakes here for breakfast and you would not know that the GF pancakes were GF! I ordered mine with a side of bacon and a Nutella latte! It's not a full GF menu but they seemed to take it seriously and we're confident that I would love the GF pancakes (they were right!)
