About

Welcome to the FoodNut.com

The site is created by folks nuts about food, to help those looking for great restaurants, especially ones in the San Francisco Bay Area. Our goal is to find the best food, not review every place under the sun.

We have over a 100 years experience eating! We’ve been ripped off, treated poorly, but have also experienced the best food around. Follow us as we try all sorts of place and document our adventures with lots of pictures.

All meals are paid for with our own hard earned money. No freebies. We tell it like it is and steer you towards great cuisine.

Most of our reviews are based a single visit. We unable (or do not want) to visit every restaurant multiple times.  Restaurant consistentcy is very important but difficult to achieve for some places. We try to ignore elements of the dining experience that may be one-off incidents.

FoodNut.com tries to maintain a low profile when reviewing restaurants. Our pictures will give you a sense of what the place looks like. We do not tell them we are reviewing. We take pictures of the actual menus with actual prices. Often times restaurant’s websites will not have up to date information. You can ZOOM in on any picture by clicking on it.

We take pictures of all the dishes we have, as well as comment on them. Dishes are ranked into 3 categories:
Picks - These dishes are worthy of ordering.
OK - Items that are ok but not spectacular. Order them if you like these items
Pans - Do not order these.

We rate restaurants in several areas:
Overall - Takes into account Food, Service, Value, decor, everything.
Food - How good was the food?
Service - Did we get good service? Did we have to ask for basic things?
Value - Was the meal overpriced? How does pricing compare to competitors.

Rating System:
4 stars - The Best. The best food and service available, in a class of its own.
3 stars - Excellent. Really, really good food, service, and atmosphere.
2.5 stars - Very Good. Bordering on excellent, but not due to some factors.
2 stars - Good. Above average food, service, and atmosphere.
1 star - Fair. An average place with average food quality and service. A typical fast food joint.
0 stars - Poor. Avoid this place as it is below average.

Would we come back? - It does not matter how good a restaurant is if we decided we would not want to come back!

Reviews are highly subjective, so we welcome other users comments. We are human, so we have food we prefer and cuisines that are not our favorite. We do not review fast food or nationwide chain restaurants.
