A glowing vintage neon sign marks the last survivor of what once sprawled into a 28-location chain, slinging char-grilled steaks on a budget since 1955. Tad's Steakhouse started at 120 Powell Street and has served over 2 million steaks across seven decades, outlasting the competition through economic shifts and changing tastes. The Ellis Street location still delivers the same formula: fast, affordable, flame-kissed beef in a no-frills San Francisco institution.
