Market & Rye opened in 2012 and quickly became known as a great casual San Francisco Potrero Hill neighborhood restaurant, which serves tasty and reasonably priced Breakfast, Lunch and Weekend Brunch. They recently expanded their dining room adding a large communal table, big screen TV and additional individual tables. Now they are serving early dinner Monday-Friday until 7:00 P.M. with a nightly Dinner Special for each weekday, along with selections from their Lunch Menu. Beer and Wine are also available all day at very reasonable prices, as well. As you enter, you see that you order at the Register. We ordered soup, sides, entrees, wine and dessert then sat in the new dining room. 

Sweet Corn Soup and Cornflake Crusted Fried Chicken Sandwich

We were quite pleased with the Sweet Corn Soup garnished with truffle oil which was served in a big cup. The flavor and the creamy texture were perfect! Next, we enjoyed the Mission Salad with mixed greens, marinated jicama, black beans, pickled jalapenos, charred avocado, queso fresco, crispy tortilla and chipotle vinaigrette.

Sergio’s Dr. Pepper Grilled Pork Ribs

The Thursday Dinner Special was Sergio’s Dr. Pepper Grilled Pork Ribs with poppy seed cole slaw, molasses black beans and jalapeno cornbread. It was really a hearty serving, the ribs were very tender and meaty and we loved the cornbread. The Cornflake Crusted Fried Chicken Sandwich with Old Bay Aioli, pickles, poppy seed cole slaw on a Brioche bun from the Lunch Menu was delicious, light and healthy. Since we like our food spicier, we added some pickled jalapenos from our Mission Salad. We also enjoyed some tasty side salads including the Corn & Quinoa Salad with red radish, feta, herbs and white balsamic dressing, the Brussels Sprouts Salad with Fresno chiles and parmesan dressing and the Roasted Apricot & Couscous Salad with cheese, arugula and pistachio dressing. The 2011 Split Creek Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir and the2011 Inzolia Grillo Sicilia Italian White wine went well with our meal. For dessert we enjoyed Strawberry Pie and coffee. The Strawberry Pie was an individual tart which was baked and…..just wonderful!  It would also be great for breakfast.

Market & Rye is a perfect casual restaurant for breakfast, lunch, brunch or their new Early Dinner. Chef Ryan Scott and Chef de Cuisine Sergio Medina prepare very tasty comfort food using locally sourced and sustainable ingredients. We look forward to trying their very popular weekend brunch.
