Gold Coast Grill & Catering — Restaurant in San Francisco

This is my 4th year at SFSU, and I typically go to the salad bar and make a salad with the mixed greens and add a bunch of stuff in it -- I love the buffet option! About a month ago, I got my usual salad, and after eating half of it, I look down, and there was this type of worm crawling on top of my salad... I was disgusted! Especially because I was mid-bite. I brought it back to the cashier and he showed it to his manager, I think it was, and all he said was "oh. did you pay cash or card?" and I said "card. do you need me to go get it?" and he said yes. So I brought the card back to him and he said "do you remember the price of the order?" and I said "well on the scale (where you weigh the salad) it said $4.50 or something" and he said "oh I found it. It looks like we double charged you, I'll refund you for everything. sorry about that" REALLY? THAT'S what you're sorry about? I usually don't write reviews but I was extremely dissatisfied with the customer service and the lack of concern for the main reason I brought the salad back. I was more mad that they placed the apology on the double charge rather than the whole reason I was there -- there was a nasty bug in my salad! I haven't gone there since, and if you do, make sure to...

Was very underwhelmed by my experience, got a classic burger with fries, as well as tried options from the salad bar.

Obviously the most basic menu item, but the burger really left a lot to be desired, the meat tasted bland, dry, and overcooked, and the massive dry bun did it no favors. Hopefully the more complex menu items are better, because this was underwhelming for sure.

The salad bar ended up being pretty overpriced, I wanted to try their various pasta salads but with the weight price it ended up being $9 for a pretty small amount of food. I’m assuming this price is meant for customers to take the hot protein items like chicken tenders rather than just salads, but I found it too expensive.

Also there was no napkins available at the self service area for utensils as far as I could tell and that was awkward.

I’ll consider coming back but for $20 I really didn’t feel like the meal...

Reasonably priced self-serve food bar and made-to-order menu items.

This restaurant in the Cesar Chavez Student Center at SFSU has a large selection of sandwiches and egg dishes, as well as a self-serve food bar. The made-to-order items usually take five to ten minutes. However, a broccoli and cheese baked potato I ordered took twelve minutes, but it was a big spud. The prices for the self-service food bar are calculated by weight (currently $9.75/lb), so you can have as much or as little of the food you want and pay proportionally. They have shrimp, if you're looking to get more value. In my opinion, most of the food is good. I hear their sandwiches are fantastic, so I'll give them a try next time. Service was good. Utensils and napkins were provided. Seating and restrooms were available nearby. Overall, this is a good place to stop for an...
