Super Bowl Week in SF: Eat Like a Local at Tommy’s Joynt

Hello, San Francisco, and welcome to everyone in town for Super Bowl week.

It’s the end of January, and I’ve finally found my rhythm again after the holiday chaos. February usually has that in-between feel, winter’s not quite done, spring isn’t here yet, and the city moves a little slower. But this year it’s different. The Bay is about to be full of visitors, and we can’t wait to see all the fans coming through and all the familiar faces returning to our awesome place.

For a fast, very affordable, classic San Francisco meal with zero hassle, head to Tommy’s Joynt.

We’re an old-school hofbrau: step into the line, order at the carving counter, grab a seat, and eat. It’s fast, comforting, and budget-friendly.

First time here? Keep it simple:

Sandwiches: carved meat on bread—tendercut pastrami is the move. Go big and get it stacked the way it should be—old-school prices, so ordering the larger one feels like a win.

Dinner plates: carved meat + sides + bread (full meal, zero guessing). Fan favorites: BBQ brisket or roasted turkey.

Then grab a drink: low bar prices, a huge list of 100+ imported beers, plus San Francisco’s best craft beer on draft.

If you come in, do me a favor: say hi to the Juans, Sam, and Leno the carver. Each of them has been here 40+ years, and they’re the heart of this place. Hope to see you at Tommy’s.

Explore and Enjoy

There’s so much to see and do in San Francisco this summer! Have you checked out the sea lions at the wharf yet? There’s a record number of them hanging out this year, and they’re quite a sight. While you’re in the area, take a spin on the new Ferris Wheel—it’s perfect for getting those breathtaking views of the bay.

Of course, no visit to San Francisco is complete without a drive through Lombard Street. It's such a fun, twisty experience! Afterward, why not drive up to Twin Peaks? The views from up there are absolutely stunning, especially after a delicious meal at Tommy’s Joynt.

If you’re in the mood to explore the city without a car, hop on one of the hop on hop off bus tours. They’re super convenient and let you see all the major sights without any hassle.
