Danielle FOctober 19, 2014Lobster roll easily has an ENTIRE lobsters worth of meat. Split the large with a friend & a 1/2 dozen oysters. Wash it down with a beer and you just had a Cape Cod experience.
Erica NormandeauSeptember 24, 2017I'm from New England and this is one of the best lobster rolls I've had.
- J JohnApril 30, 2019Great tasting N. England style lobster & crab 🦀 sandwiches; the butter-garlic toasted bread is simply perfect. Their french fries are the best in the city. Good service, place is usually very crowded
Odile RoujolJanuary 16, 2017Crispy calamari. Oysters. Dungeness 🦀 sea urchin linguine . Enjoy the bar if as a couple !
Pearson Lyverse Carolyn StraughanAugust 3, 2015Crab linguini was great, lots of meat. The whole crab was even better. Good French fries! Make-your-own summer shandy was tasty too
IvanSeptember 26, 2019Go for the lobster roll and oysters. The lemonade is DIY so you can put exactly as much syrup as you like and no have it overly sweet. Friendly service.
Adena BrenowitzJuly 22, 2018Lobster roll is delish but small portion for the price. Also, their fish tacos were great too. Crispy and flavorful. Good for casual dining.
Soft Shell Crab Sandwich when available is great. Solid Clam Chowder, Good Ipswich Sandwich, Fancy Lemonade.
Helen YuenDecember 24, 2013Wonderful choice of seafood in menu! Clam chowder, oysters, sour dough bread pudding all tasted wonderful! Great portion size!
Nadia Geneviève MasriJune 17, 2016Delicious oysters and although I haven't had it myself, I hear the lobster roll is just amazing.
Anton GaddiNovember 27, 2018The toasted buttered Dungeness roll is awesome! As is the claim chowder. Most of the specials are also very good.
Fred Stevens-SmithFebruary 23, 2020Mehhhh. Completely vibeless restaurant serving absolutely fine seafood staples in an uninspired location with dead-eyed wait staff. Feels like a simulacrum. You have entered the matrix.
Liz PhilipsMay 26, 2014I've just declared the grilled artichoke stuffed with dungeness crab & shrimp my favorite lunch in the city (which is saying a lot!) Amazing!!
Nancy WuMarch 10, 2013Food is good, takes a while. I got the larger lobster roll $26 which had 6 oz, but small would definitely have been enough. If you live nearby call in to put your names down first
Carollyn PJuly 15, 2014Never thought I would enjoy a grilled artichoke stuffed with dungeness crab & shrimp, as much as the one here. Even the tossed greens it sat on were expertly dressed.
T ZJune 11, 2017GREAT LOBSTER ROLL. GREAT BBQ OYSTERS. but pricey for the small amount of food you get.
- Everything is amazing, but my faves are the Softshell Crab BLT, Dungeness Crab Sandwich, Dungeness Crab, Cioppino, and $1 oyster night on Tuesdays.
Katie NelsonMay 29, 2014This place is incredible! Amazingly fresh seafood. The owner is so nice and hospitable. Such a neighborhood gem! Get here!!!
Brian MartinMay 6, 2014Side substitutions are allowed. Seating is a bit tight so be wary if it's crowded. The fries are super flavorful though, as well as the crab melt.
Every dish, from grilled to fried, from starters to entrees and salads, WFC never disappoints.
Marissa CoughlinMarch 24, 2013I can't believe more tips don't mention the Cioppino. I've tried a ton of rolls and other dishes but the Cioppino remains at the top of the list.
7x7 MagazineNovember 1, 2012The bread pudding here is made with sourdough bread. This unique twist that offers a tinge of tartness, which is countered by the rest of the sweet ingredients. Read more
Dave FreemanSeptember 4, 2017Tuesday $1 oysters. Had the mussels & claims w Frits as well. Always high quality and freshness.
Jia LiMarch 6, 2015Cioppino is an amazing bowl of seafood, but the salt will stay on your tongue for days after.
Greg VFebruary 3, 2014Grilled Stuffed Artichoke with shrimp and Dungeness crab. Yummmm ...mmm mmm mm
Anne RJanuary 2, 2019Another great meal here! Everything is cooked perfectly... fish and vegetables.
AndreaJuly 13, 2013Absolutely delish! Cute decor, amazing food. The clam chowder was amazing, as was the lobster roll.
Lobster rolls, mussels (don't miss the garlic bread), Baja style fish tacos. Get it all.
Heather RodriguezNovember 25, 2018No flavor and no taste. Cute place with great service in a fun neighborhood, but the food is bland. Had the lobster roll and the stuffed artichoke.
Jessica BermanNovember 12, 2012Lobster roll, fries, slaw, and Drakes wheat beer! Best combo out there!
Jesse CookAugust 25, 2012A cup of creamy clam chowder to start was great. Get the crab roll instead of the crab melt. Both were good, but the roll was great.
- JuicyGlamJune 11, 2014The best butter toasted Dungeness crab roll I ever tasted ...I prefer the large!
Morgan BeardenDecember 16, 2013We stayed in Pacific Heights five nights and this is the only place where we ate twice!
Try the Cornmeal Crusted Whole Roasted Fish - Sorry, I couldn't wait, but believe me, you'll love it
Try the Drake’s Hefeweizen - Great beer! #drakes Great food! Great place!
- Try the Blackend Catfish - Great beer! Great food! Great place!
