SaudadeJuly 14, 2013Must order are the whole Dungeness crab and just discovered the Apple Crisp. Love the vanilla ice cream on the warm crumbles and generous portions of thinly sliced baked Granny Smith apples. Yums!
Julia PileJune 14, 2015Delicious! I had the special of the day which was fried salmon with garlic fries. Yum, yum. Kids grilled cheese wasn't a big hit with my picky eater. Fish & chips were really good too. Nice staff.
Cynthia HoytMay 20, 2013BEST Clam Chowder ever!! Add Tabasco Sauce if you like your chowder spicy. The Crab Louie is HUGE and delicious. Our waitress made the evening, she was wonderful! (Take a can of chowder home!!)
M RSeptember 17, 2018Good choice, the food is fresh snd tasty, good service but crowded and not so clean. Lobster tails worth it
Maan 💉August 26, 2022Great vibes, great place and great service… the food is amazing and the bes chowder soup preferred in bread, fried shrimp is amazing too .. just go and order
Halle MansurFebruary 9, 2019I ordered the Teriyaki Salmon which I recommend. There will be a little bit of a wait, and the tables are a little closer together than for comfort, but the service is great.
Alisson NegreliNovember 10, 2019Probably one of the best places in town for clam chowder, fish n’ chips and all the good seafood stuff!
Anechka M.November 2, 2016Great chowder for 9$ only! Service was very fast (even taking the plate before you finished it 😁). Crab was very good
Vicki KolovouNovember 18, 2018Great service with a wide variety of sea food. The chowder with crab was fantastic! Comfort food.
Maina KhojaJuly 20, 2015Very fresh sea food, breaded scallops melts in your mouth, and crab cakes one of the best. Cioppino not that good.
Federica FanfaniSeptember 13, 2015Fried shrimps are very good, crab chowders are delicious and desserts are great. The service is good but sometimes the waiters are not that polite!
Juanisimo MeneiniDecember 7, 2014Clam chowder is really nice specially on a chilly day also try the roasted garlic crab,a suggestion from our waiter! Service is also really nice! Enjoy your meal
Giselle BaldoJanuary 4, 2019First time I loved so I went again but it was bad 🥴 place has a wonderful view and soup is great! But service terrible, they are nervous and unfriendly, Started got almost a half hr after main meal!
- Katrina ChernyshovaJune 4, 2018Very delicious clam chowder with crab and lobster. Really worth to try it! ☺️
Sol SalamancaSeptember 25, 2011best seafood of the bay... try the clam chowder and of course the traditional San Francisco dish: Cioppino paired with a strawberry and mango margarita... while watching the sea lions taking a nap!
Rachel ClarkOctober 31, 2015They sell their clam chowder by the can for a unique souvenir. The house lager is pretty good, too.
Ailie ChangNovember 5, 2017Crispy Scallops were so good. That jalapeño aioli sauce pairs really well. We had the seafood jambalaya.
Val MichettiJanuary 30, 2012Try the fish & chips! Wonderful; the fish is nice and thick, and the batter is just right. Sit outside under a heat lamp if you're having dinner.
PDecember 30, 2015The clam chowder was great. Get the sour dough bowl for refills for a better value. They sell their clam chowder in cans too
Moy VargasFebruary 24, 2016Amazing Clam Chowder! Spectacular Mesquite grilled seafood! And of course you have to try the Golden Gate IPA!
Forbidden Meal MealFebruary 28, 2015I definitely recommend Pier Market for all of you tourists who will pass by Pier 39 anytime soon - I'm sure you won't be deceived!
Ria ShabiraJanuary 1, 2013They have the best oysters here. So fresh and full of flavors. Wish I tried the chowder tho, seeing how people raved about it
Lena KiddOctober 16, 2014I would recommend trying the clam chowder. I have yet to find another place in CA that has clam chowder this good.
Al Shaima Al MadaniSeptember 6, 2016Authentic seafood restaurant as always ask for the specials on the menu
- Nicolas MasloJanuary 2, 2012Great crab, salmon teriyaki and swordfish! Excelent to lunch with kids (they have special menu for them).
Daniel ValenciaSeptember 10, 2013The Trout is excellent and and the delicious Clam Chowder sit perfect too.
Keith LifschinAugust 25, 2014Salmon special was delicious. Mesquite grilled over an open flame. So good.
Dave WombatJune 17, 2013Killer fried clam strips! Unlike the crumbs you get at most places, these look like mozzarella sticks!
Alice XiongJanuary 1, 2014I tried the clam chowder and the cioppino and they were both great!!! Salad was just so so though.
Frances LeeNovember 4, 2012Get the clam chowder/salad combo! Very satisfying but be careful - $4.75 for a clam chowder refill!
Justin WardOctober 5, 2013Good food with quick and friendly service. Kind of expensive for what you get but you're on the wharf so it is typical.
Vitalii LevetsFebruary 25, 2016!!! One of he worst service in SF. Swordfish steak is tasteless. 🐟 Staff is careless and rude. The guy stopped me on my way out and basically forced to leave him a tip. Ridiculous. 🚷
Joseph LindsayJanuary 12, 2013This is a great place to people watch, have a good bowl of chowder, and good company
İpek BHJuly 25, 2016Staff are nice and has nice window view, however the wait is long and the Swordfish I had was very bland and chewy. With so many delicious options in SF area, not worth it.
