Restaurants Near Bart in the Mission

[sfgal2]

Hi,

My brother and his kids are barting to SFO and want to meet me for dinner. It would have to be close to a BART station, preferably in the Mission as they will have luggage. I am drawing a blank with the addition of the kids. Anyone have any ideas? The kids are picky as well.

Starting to rethink this.......

TIA

Most places in Glen Park are kid friendly. Chenery Park for example, if you have time.

Glen Park is a better BART station with luggage. The elevators and escalators always work, unlike 16th and 24th Street stations.

I second the Glen Park BART choice and Chenery Park. CP is always kid friendly and never more so than on Tuesdays when they offer Kids Club.

A note that my usual advice about Glen Park BART doesn't apply at the moment: the escalators are being replaced and out of service until July.

There is an elevator, and a whole lot of stairs.

Rosamunde Sausage Grill (next to 24th Street BART) seems to keep both the little and big people happy.

easy: Poc chuc

great food, plenty of room, and often the owner's kids are hanging out in the back, or helping with tables.

Glen Park and Poc Chuc are good recommendations. Just wondering however...wouldn't it be easier for one person (you) to travel instead of have family with kids trek around?

I know it sounds weird but why not meet them at SFO. The kids and BART requirement narrows it down enough to make the places in SFO look pretty good and much easier, less running around under time constraints. Of course cultural enrichment or not liking airports or serility makes as much sense.

Any way, off Powell St. BART there's a bunch of palces...Chez Papa (you can bring kids) in the Mint Plaza, Kuleto's (I know) on the other side. Tadich Grill is a few blocks from Embarcadero BART.

Or let them go check in and hop a cab/BART to Millbrae. Hong Kong Flower Lounge is 5 minutes from SFO and across the street from Millbrae BART.

"I know it sounds weird but why not meet them" not weird at all, makes a heck of a lot more sense than 4 people hauling luggage around an unfamiliar transit system and streetscape.

That doesn't sound weird at all, I actually thought the same thing after posting. Is there someplace to eat that is outside the boarding area? Quality isn't so much of an issue, this is more about being together.

Thank you everyone for the suggestions

re places to eat outside of security: check out this map:

The kids might like Burger Joint (there is one pre-security).

Perfect, that sounds easiest.

Thank you again for all of your help!

Pork Store Cafe is decent (not great), casual food that your kids will eat. Next to Ti Couz, at 16th and Valencia. Tons of taquerias around, too, if you want to go extra casual - really close to 16th St. Bart is Pancho Villa - good food, kid friendly, lot of tables. On 16th near Capp, Poc Chuc is a good choice, Rosamunde's at Mission and 24th is a good idea too. All are close enough to walk to with luggage.

Gialina's, in Glen Park, is another good choice, but sometimes hard to get in without a wait

pizzeria delfina, then bi-rite for dessert

Out the Door or any of the other places in the Westfield Mall would work. You don't even have to go outside to get there from the Powell St. station.

Why is the Mission better for luggage?

I work in the Mission and time was tight. Turns out they were running late and had to cancel. Upon re-reading my original post it does seem that I was unclear on why I wanted the Mission

Thanks again for all the suggestions!
