Memphis Minnies is not good BBQ no matter where you are from. I've eaten there twice, don't think I will go again.

Ali Baba (19th and Valencia, Haight between Steiner and Fillmore) makes pretty damn good Shwarma and Falafel, IMO.

Lots of people (myself included) like the atmosphere at Zeitgeist they have a nice little out door patio, but it is often times quiet crowded.

La Randia (20th and Valencia)- Decently strong $12 dollar pitchers of margarita, mariachi band, a bit of a dive though. Good value I think.

Majoul- 22nd and Mission- I don't know why I like it. It's not my scene (trendy/ European) and the drinks are weak. There is something about sitting on a rooftop staring out at the city chatting comfortably with friends that I find pleasant.

Edit to add Fort Funston. Nice little lookout spot about 150 feet over the ocean. Nice short walk, and cool to watch hang gliders do their thing. The sunsets are nice, but I prefer Muir beach for sunsets in the bay area.
