Nothing special going on rn, visiting my cousins in Napa and got really nostalgic walking around downtown. Besides 1 or 2 changes it really does feel like how it did when I was little lol.
Also we got some Gotts, expensive but I did enjoy my burger lol.
Verdict: YUMMY! The higher prices are worth it given the really good quality food.
Also: It's on that SF 7x7 list (as Taylor's Refresher which is its original name) for the Cheeseburger, although their other food is delicious too!
I went to the Palo Alto location which is very big, open and airy. There isn't much inside seating but fortunately it was a nice day so we sat outside on the wooden picnic tables. The food is DELICIOUS.
I got the Ahi Poke Crispy tacos and there were generous chunks of tuna, avocado, cilantro, and lime sauce...I was in tuna heaven. It comes with three tacos which are pretty filling.
We also tried the California Chicken sandwich which is a very good solid choice as well, although a bit on the small side (I love how they give you big pieces of avocado; they aren't messing around ;) ).
Lastly, we got the White Pistachio milkshake which was amazing. Pistachio is my go-to ice cream flavor and this was my first time seeing it in a milkshake.
I like how this place focuses on food. The setting and presentation is really simple, while the food itself is phenomenal.
Also, given it's location in Town And Country, you'll see lots of adults dressed business casual chowing down on burgers and shakes on wooden picnic tables, which is always entertaining :D

#108: Gotts Roadside (SF)
Gotts Roadside is the perfect spot to enjoy a glass of wine and "New American style" comfort food. The bright and spacious upscale "diner" overlooks Embarcadero.
I truly enjoyed my meal of ahi tuna tacos. Not necessarily cheap at $13.50 per order (3 heaping tacos) but they were fresh and light. A little bit more of the crema salsa would have made them better. Paired with a generously poured red $9, I had the perfect meal!
Gotts seems to be known for hamburger and Straus milkshake but there are plenty of comfort food items with a California twist.
This is The Spot and I will be back here to spend a quiet afternoon in the City.
