"Sometimes, you have one drink too many and need some no-fuss french toast and chicken fried steak smothered in gravy at 1:30am. The two-level, retro-style diner is a rare 24-hour spot that’ll pull you in with red swivel chairs, bright neon lights, and a menu of hearty breakfast classics that never fail to hit the spot. Orphan Andy’s has been a Castro staple since the 1970s, and based on the after-bar crowds, locals, and tourists who continuously pack this joint—whether it’s the morning or the stumbly end of the day—this place will never go out of style. Food Rundown Chicken Fried Steak Do you like rich, thick gravy slathered over pounded and flawless fried meats? If yes, you will gobble down Andy’s version, served with two eggs and either pancakes or toast and home fries (our pick). French Toast A fantastic iteration of a breakfast classic. It won’t change your life, but you don’t need it to. After all, you’re dining in a place designed to help you soak up boozy late-night mischief." - Lani Conway
