Frjtz has been a staple of the San Francisco food scene since the year 2000! While they are known for their Belgian-style fries and vast array of dipping sauces, owner Santiago Rodriguez has packed their menu full of great salads, burgers and crepes, providing generations of San Franciscans with plenty of great meals. “I have seen babies that are now coming as young adults and ordering on their own, wedding proposals, first dates, break-ups, you name it,” Rodriguez told the San Francisco Chronicle. While this neighborhood stalwart no longer maintains a storefront, their delivery service is still going strong so future generations can enjoy the same great tastes as their parents.
