It’s no secret: It’s a tough time out there for restaurants. But even as many struggle to survive, restaurants throughout the Bay Area are simultaneously doing important work in their communities — pivoting to feed essential workers or those out of jobs, supporting other small businesses trying to stay afloat, and helping local culture thrive even in the hardest times. These 10 standout businesses are making a true difference in the neighborhoods they call home, so follow their Facebook pages for more updates. (And when we support small business, we support our communities — so if you need help or can offer it, find more resources at Facebook’s Small Business support hub.)
Be sure to double check these restaurants’ status before you go or order, as they continue to adapt to changing phases and regulations amid reopening. A number of Bay Area restaurants and bars now offer patio service; studies indicate that there’s a lower exposure risk when outdoors, but the level of risk involved with patio dining is contingent on restaurants following strict social distancing and other safety guidelines.
