Joe's 24th St Cafe is a staple in our life. A step above a local diner, with an interesting, ecclectic menu that consistently delivers. Highlights are the Greek Salad, Lamb Pita, great burgers and omlettes, terrific spanakopitas at night. Joe makes all the dressings and sauces - try the turkish salad (tomato ""salsa"" with cumin and mint?) for sure with a falafel or really with anything. Service is usually quite good, and Joe does custom orders for just about any dish, which is a real plus for a local place. While not a citywide destination, definitely a regular stop for anyone in Noe, Mission or Castro.
Pros: great salads, inexpensive, made to order
