Tastebuds: Reviews & Ratings
The shrimp and grits here are a musttry! Family owned with attentive service and high quality food with appropriate portions. Very family friendly. Southern food in the Sunset district is perfect.
1st time here and it was great! Customer Service was amazing and the food was great! They were able to accommodate a group of 6 without any problems. Definitely recommend and worth going. I will be back!
First time here and I really enjoyed it! We got fried chicken and waffles. The chicken is boneless so might not be the best for someone thats picky with their chicken. It was good, just may have an unusual chewy texture. I might try the chicken sandwich next time!

As I explored the menu, I was immediately drawn to the Breakfast Burrito. This indulgent dish, with a choice between chorizo or bacon, is filled with fluffy eggs, seasoned potatoes, and a tangy pico de gallo. You can savor a California-style with its delightful grilled finish or opt for the Southern-style, which brings the comfort of deep-fried goodness akin to a chimichanga. Priced at just $16.00, it’s a steal for such a hearty meal.
The 5th Ave Salad is another highlight, available with fried chicken, shrimp, or mushrooms, all served atop a bed of mixed greens crowned with a refreshing lemon thyme house dressing—all for $15.00 and up. Each ingredient bursts with flavor, making it a perfect companion to any main dish.
Don’t forget to treat yourself to a classic Brownie for dessert, a simple yet satisfying way to end your meal at just $5.00.
In conclusion, Tastebuds is not just a café; it’s a celebration of culinary nostalgia and communal spirit.
