We went to Polker's Gourmet Burgers today at Polk St today for lunch. We waited about 20-30 minutes or so for a table - a bit long... in my head, I am still questioning if there is really a recession out there...?
We utilized the wait time to browse Cole Hardware, which is a few stores away on the corner. In high school, I worked as a weekend Cashier at Cole Hardware, not at this particular store on Polk - but at the original store on Cole St. in Cole Valley. Anyways, back to Polkers - we got our table and I ordered a Crab and Shrimp Benedict (a) and SQ ordered a mushroom burger with Curly fries (b). The Benedict was rich but good... a heart-attack special - complete with crab, shrimp, egg, avocado, scallop potatoes and whatever creamy sauce that blended everything together. I was most excited to try their burgers since this place is called Polker's Gourmet Burgers afterall. Somewhat disappointed because the mushroom burger was a bit on the dry side probably because SQ ordered it medium well. But I do love the swiss cheese and mushrooms that came with it. Curly fries are overfried and I didn't like them at all. Glad to at least tried out this place - sometimes I feel like there are so many restaurants out there in SF and SQ and I just eat the same ones over and over again. We're just creatures of habit!

After Polker's, we stopped by La Boulange and got myself a yummy Iced Mocha. This one on Polk has a very nice decor - cute little pastries and sandwiches ... very Parisian! Love it!
