OMG....whoever leaves this city without tasting these flavors, doesn't know what what he's missing! This is a perfect ten in all! Clam choder & shrimp & grips a must with just some white wine to go!
You eat both oysters and grilled cheese at Hog Island! Why? Because their grilled cheese sandwich is stupid-good, featuring buttery, toastybread, three kinds of cheesed plus house made pickles. Read more
The oyster selection here is fantastic! Friendly staff and delicious entrees. Note, they only take American ID's and passports so if you're visiting, make sure you have one if you want to drink.
Classy and delicious. Oysters are some of the finest in the city and the selection is superb. Not inexpensive though. Wait list can pile up, so grab a beverage at the bar before you step in line.
It's a given that the oysters here are gonna be amazing, but you absolutely have to get the Clam Chowder! Shell-on whole littleneck clams flood the entire bowl, and they don't f*ck around
Excellent selection of local and regional shellfish with a tight selection of wines and beers to boot. If only those lines weren't soooooooooooooo long...
Really great seafood! Grilled oysters, fried oysters, clam chowder, and mussels were all perfectly cooked and really delicious. Really great service as well.
The oysters here are the most freshest! So delicious! MUST try. I also saw a bowl of the seafood stew and it looked so good! Service here is outstanding 😁😁
There is always a wait but Hog island is always worth it. The clam chowder was lite but so flavorful! Barbecueoysters are delicious! You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Heat lamps outside.
Beautiful views and very good food, service. You will have a to wait a bit but don't be fussy, seating a the bar is already great. Go for the specials!!!
Hits the spot when you crave seafood, and yes the ultimate comfort food-grilled cheese! Fresh oysters & clam chowder with the GCS is perfect to share so you have room for other goodies in the menu.👍
In addition to ample amounts of the namesake wonderfully creamy raw bivalves (both raw and grilled), sample smoked sturgeon and white anchovies ($12) paired with farmers' market-inspired cocktails. Read more
Known for their wonderfully fresh oyster selection (even East Coast too) Kumamoto > Sweetwater > Well Fleet Also try the mussels. Better then I ever had in Brussels
Oyster is magnificen & fresh.At least make it one piece. Outside has nice view of Oakland bridge. Seafood steam is killer, have pasta w/ Grilled cheese and lamb t-bone steak was delicious.
The oysters are good, of course. West coast oysters seem a little sweeter than East Coast oysters, but that’s not a bad thing, just a difference. Also the clam chowder is very good.
The Hog Islandwhite wine is delicious. The chowder is delicate and wonderful, and the pickles that come with the grilled cheese are a revelation. Beautiful views of the baybridge.
Definitely get chipotle bbqoysters, clam chowder (or any seafood stews), fresh oysters, grilled scallops/razor clams. Don’t order the uni chowder, doesn’t taste like uni at all, just cream.
Long waits are worth it for the outstanding oysters. Even the grilled cheese as a main dish was terrific for only $12; the selection of cheeses made it unique.
Get the clam chowder! One if not the best chowder I've ever had. You'll lick the shells and the bowl. The baked oysters are also great. Get plenty of bread to soak up the sauce left in the shells.
This place always has quite a long line. Be sure to get there early, ideally before lunch to beat the crowds. Little known fact: their oysters are raised just an hour north of this location.
If you’re a fresh oyster lover, this is definitely a place to go when in San Fran. $1 oysters during their happy hours so get there early! Get a spot on their patio to enjoy the spectacular view.
Shuck your own oysters on the Tomales Bay. I THINK BYOB. And have grills you can bring your own meat/veggies. call ahead to see if you need to reserve?
The mussels are to die for!! Very accommodating to allergies, they were able to leave out the garlic and Dijon mustard while still producing fabulous mussels.
Really good oysters, and to be honest, their grilled cheese is messed up how good it is. Their grilled cheese might be more worth the trip than the oysters.
The line might be daunting, but it can be made bearable (and even enjoyable!) if you send someone to grab drinks from the bar and sip them while waiting for a table.
Enjoy incredible seafood in a stunning setting. Located in the historic Ferry Building on San Francisco’s waterfront, Hog Island Oyster Bar offers the finest selection of oysters, craft cocktails, and an ever-changing seasonal seafood menu.
