CA · Cheap eats
Under twenty. Over the odds on quality. Harry ranks them the same way as everything else — Worth It score tells you how much quality you get per pound spent.
SF is expensive, but the cheap-eat exceptions are real. The Mission taqueria is the best value meal in the city. The Tenderloin has $8 banh mi that would cost $18 in the Mission. The Outer Sunset has hand-pulled noodles at prices that ignore the zip code. The Ferry Building market has overpriced versions of all of these; skip it.
| Worth It score | Harry's primary filter for cheap eats. Measures quality relative to price — a high Worth It score means the restaurant punches above its price class. Not just cheap; cheap for what you get. |
|---|---|
| Local signal | Tourist cheap eats exist — they're cheap because they can be. Harry cross-references local review signals against tourist sources. A place that locals actually eat at on a Tuesday is different from a TripAdvisor-optimised lunch spot. |
| Harry Score | The composite score from Google, Yelp, Tripadvisor, and critic reviews. Even cheap eats need to be good cheap eats — the Worth It score identifies value, the Harry Score confirms quality. |
