About Friends With Benedicts

Friends With Benedicts is a one-of-a-kind pop-up brunch adventure born in San Francisco in 2015. What started in a quirky Greek joint in the Tenderloin has grown into a citywide favorite known for creativity, humor, and unforgettable Sunday vibes. After years of themed chaos at Mayes Oyster House, we’ve found not one, but two incredible homes to host our brunch party — one historic, one retro, both unmistakably San Francisco.

Our Brunch Story

We didn’t just want to serve brunch — we wanted to create a weekly experience. From Star Wars to Game of Thrones, The Simpsons to 80s prom, we’ve hosted over 120 themed menus, dreamt up by a wild mix of local stand-up comedians and some of SF’s best cooks. During the winter, we dial it back with a rotating “best of” brunch menu, letting our team recharge and draw new inspiration from the screens and streets of San Francisco.

The Elks Lodge – Union Square

This Spanish Gothic landmark built in 1924 is one of San Francisco’s best-kept secrets. The San Francisco Elks Lodge No. 3 is the oldest continuously operating Elks Lodge in the world, steeped in a legacy of community, grandeur, and old-school charm — think painted ceilings, 15-foot windows overlooking Union Square, and chandeliers older than brunch itself.

Originally reserved for Elks members, the Lodge now opens its doors to the public, and we’re honored to host brunch in one of the most beautiful ballrooms in the city.

Brunch Hours: Sundays only, 10:00 am – 2:30 pm

Silver Cloud – Marina / Cow Hollow

Located at 1994 Lombard Street, Silver Cloud brings the party with its retro lounge energy, cozy booths, and full-blown karaoke vibes. Between arcade games, big screen TVs, photo booths, and a great brunch crowd, it’s the perfect backdrop for mimosas, music, and mischief. It's brunch with attitude — and a mic.

Brunch Hours: Saturdays and Sundays, 10:00 am – 2:30 pm
