Baker's Square Out, Shari's In
Your Boulevardier notes a news item in the Daily Review saying that the Baker's Square restaurant in Castro Village will become a Shari's. Having not heard of the latter, he did some homework. It's a chain of 100 or so restaurants, headquartered in Beaverton, Oregon but owned by a private investment company out of New York. It will be open 24 hours a day and seems to have a menu not unlike that of Baker's Square -- eggy breakfasts, skillet dinners, salads, pies. Reviews on Yelp range from 2.5 to 4.5 stars. Service seems to be an ongoing challenge. It will be interesting to see how the new establishment does in our town.

I think I've been to that Baker's Square twice. It was okay, but nothing to write home about. I hope the new place is better.
It would be nice to have a place to get pancakes at 2:00am.
The Baker's Square chain took over Sambo's awhile back. I haven't been in one of them since they were Sambo's. In general, I avoid the chain diners. I prefer places like Dell Cafe, Jenny's Cafe, Capers, Doug's, etc. It's better to have the money I spend recycled locally, rather than shipped off to the corporate HQ in another state or country.
Dell Cafe!!!
I feel sad that bakers square will be no more i hope that if shari's put all this effort to expand all the way out here from oregon it is worth it and that they know that the pies at bakers square are worderful and should be added on to their menu.
