Food was delicious and the service was very good. Not over priced either.

Not very accommodating at allSeem to only cater to the regulars.Very unfortunate as we heard they have good food, but were never given the opportunity to try the food. .Would not recommended this establishment, unless someone likes waiting two hours or more outside and never get in

Their steak is sumptuous and worth it. I got overwhelmed by the noise and was surprised that they don't do separate checks (?) when we requested and there was an automatic 20% tip on our tab when we didn't get good service at all. You get the feeling of being rushed.

I was impressed with the size of the prime rib but I'm not sure of the quality. I was not impressed. But if you're particularly hungry and want to devour a huge piece of meat, I'd go for it. It's fair value to the price.

Driven by the San Franciscan many times and finally tried it, i thought that there's nobody inside but got myself wrong!As for food, the salad was just right. It was just lettuce! I liked the sourdough bread but hard, Fries were great! I like 'em crispy. ordered prime rib, Generous portion. but Not that special but it's tender.Service was kind.They have karaoke bar that starts at 9pm, live music on some evenings which is nice. I definitely comeback if someone else insisted they would treat me here😉.

This place is an institution. It has been here for ages. Coming here for prime rib for the first time is fanatic. They have a full bar is you just want a drink to relax with some friends before facing traffic like me to go home is perfectly fine. Food comes out hot and fast but you can sit here and savor it all you want.

The San Franciscan is a classic looking Steak House in Torrance that is well known by locals as a great place for drinks or to get steak. I think this restaurant is a great example of classic American Food done right. Everyone at our table enjoyed the food we were served, and the staff were very nice. Overall, it a place that you should check out.

Old school prime rib joint. Has that retro mafia vibe minus actual mafia members (as far as I could tell). Great service, great food and worth the price.

Classic old school. Great drinks. Stiff drinks. Place is in great shape. Serious vintage vibe with crisp service and excellent food.

Yes I believe they do

Resaverations good but when I go not a long wait.

I wouldn't risk it. Cash only speaks very loudly to this crowd. They don't even care if you're there unless your a regular at the bar.
