San Francisco Diner Al’s Good Meals is NOT closed

A historic San Francisco diner is fading in the shadows of the city’s more trendy restaurants as it struggles to bring in even some of its longtime customers—partly because many people think it’s closed.
On most weekend mornings, a line of customers dressed in trendy streetwear ropes around the block in front of Al’s Good Food, also known as Al’s Super Cafe, near the border of the Mission and Bernal Heights neighborhoods at 3286 Mission St.
But the fashionable crowd isn’t in line for Al’s. These young restaurant-goers are instead waiting for a table at Four Chairs, the TikTok-famous brunch restaurant next door.
Meanwhile, the tables inside Al’s are usually empty, with just the charismatic co-owner, Larry Shih, and a single chef behind the counter.
