Foundry & Lux — Restaurant in South San Francisco

12/20/2021 Come here for the decor/ambiance and nothing else. The bartenders were so MISERABLE behind the bar. The younger male couldn't be bothered to say hello so he just waited for us to stare at him awkwardly. The (bar back?) round woman with dark, slicked back hair and extremely hostile eyes interrupted me while I was asking a question to rudely state that it was last call--AT 5:40PM. Drinks were okay. Bowling lanes were closed and the only saving grace was the chill playlist and comfy couch. Food was just average; the actual ingredients were good but the cauliflower salad was too busy with underwhelming dressing. Fried chicken sandwich was good. Change your hours online and hire people who don't look like they are existentially bothered by customers walking through the door.

Everything you could want, and it's all in one classy place, with a great team of staff. I often eat lunch at Foundry & Lunch and hang out in the Cafe/coffee lounge to work on my laptop. It's a wonderful space for meeting, eating, or relaxing.

The food is decent and reasonably priced. The coffee lounge is large with different kinds of seating. There is music but it's never too loud or intrusive. There's also a bar area/restaurant area with large TV screens, a couple of bowling lanes and a pool table.

The staff are so friendly and efficient. A big shoutout to Lis, Karen, Margaret, Miriam, Karina, Brandon, Elena, and...

Went here around 2pm on a Monday and was not busy. The burger was very good and came with a large portion of fries. The service was subpar at best. Took a while to get someone to take our drink orders and then we had to flag them down to take our food order. Once the food arrived no one came to check on us, we needed to get up and find someone twice for refills for the table and extra condiments. When we were finished we needed to get up again to find someone to ask for the check. Would have been better if someone would have checked on us at least once during the hour...
