Sam's Anchor Cafe

Sam’s takes a traditional approach to the bloody mary , meaning it’s full of vodka and celery , but with whole peppers giving it that extra kick. Read more

Lots of outdoor seating - even on a busy Saturday afternoon the wait is only 30 minutes. Have a Bloody Mary , $30 crab salad and relax.

how can you not love this place? it's classic! out of town guests love it for its view and totally marin vibe. watch out for those aggressive seagulls , tho!

Come for the lovely terrace tables, stay for the tasty seafood dishes and Bloody Mary !

Great place to dine el fresco ! If you don't mind sharing the space with pigeons and gulls, they've got great food here—ciopinno, fish n chips , steak sando . ????

Shrimp Louie Salad , cioppino and blue cheese bread are all fabulous! Best deck and view in Tiburon.

I featured Sam's on my latest blog post: Taylor’s Best of Marin: Top 10 Must Eat Meals Before You Die! See what meal was my favorite & feel free to comment and let me know if you agree or disagree! Read more

If you could surprise your new best friend who requested an unparalleled landscape as he turned 27! One restaurant.. One view , one love! And there is more! Not telling!

Menu was recently updated. Love the tuna poke , the burger is amazing and the Sams Lemonade to wash everything down.

New chef has really turned this place around. Check the daily specials . On the regular menu, try the smoked trout salad with cara cara.

Oysters on the half shell are awesome. Not that many tourists here compared to Sausalito! Fun place to hang.

It's so fun to come to Sam's on a hot day. The view is one of the bests in the bay . The food is good, I love getting their Caesar salad and adding prawns , their mimosas are wonderful too!

Coolest, hippest spot in Tiburon! Sit out on the deck with all the cool people but watch out for the seagulls ...they are well versed on boldly stealing food from tourist ! : )

Take the ferry over to Tiburon from either the Ferry Building or Pier 41 in San Francisco . Gorgeous views of the Bay , Golden Gate Bridge , Alcatraz, and SF. Plus they serve beer and lots of it. Read more

Enjoy the company of seagulls by eating outside on the deck. Very friendly environment . Take a walk and enjoy the atmosphere.

A fantastic brunch spot across the Bay with gorgeous views ... get there by 11am on weekends to beat the first ferry and the crowds. No reservations accepted.

Hell of a patio for some high quality day drinking . Hurricane fries are top notch seasoned goodness.

Grab a Anchor Steam a burger watch the sunset with San Francisco in the background and watch the Giants win.

Pink lemonades on a hot day couldn't be better. Sit on the deck for awesome views of the marina and SF.

Beautiful Atmosphere & Awesome food!! Sit inside or out on the deck. Check out the fried Calamri...so good!! The best Fish & Chips in town and their tartar sauce is bomb. No Beer on Tap :(

Get a table outside to enjoy a beautiful view of the marina with San Francisco in the background.

Since there aren't any umbrellas — a sore spot w/my pasty skin and lack of hair — be sure to ask about sunscreen . They keep a giant jug of it over by the host/hostess station out back, and it's free!

Get the hang town fry omelette with the blue cheese bread as toast . Perfect for 1pm brunch waiting for the ferry

Excellent place for a sunny lunch with a cold beer ! Order the crab penne and the ahi tuna !

Views are indeed great. I am a tiburon resident so have been here plenty of times. At times the food falls short of expected quality given the relatively high prices.

The deck at Sam's is the perfect way to spend a sunny weekend afternoon . Watch out for the kamikaze seagulls though. They are bananas .

Crab toast is their take on the avocado toast trend, and it’s a winner.

You can usually get a table inside without a wait. Sometimes it's better than fighting for an outside table even if it's beautiful.

Still the best place for Bfst for 2 (only at the bar ) if you are willing to spend $150 and arrive by boat early in the morning.

Had the steak sandwich on toasted sourdough with au jus dip and a side of mixed greens. Scenic and delicious!

Congratulations, you've found one of Esquire's Best Bars in America. Sam's outdoor deck is one of the nation's most picturesque places to drink. Good luck biking back to the city .

Sam's is a classic, and boasts some of the best views around, with San Francisco , Alcatraz and Angel Island in plain sight.

Sams burger w side of crab = best ever crabby party! Ciopino also terrific. And fresh onion rings w ranch dressing are worth the calories.

If you're in the city take an early ferry Easier and safer than driving. Tiburon police are relentless

Outdoor seating . Bloody Marys . Oysters . Fried chicken sandwich .

Super terrasse ! Crab , clam chowder

Get here early on the weekend to grab an outdoor seat . Solid food. Surprisingly kid-friendly.

Great food, excelent service and the best terrace in Tiburon.

Awesome local bar with great food and drinks and a view

Sit at the bar and get the best service from Alex the Bartender from Brasil

The place has a good vibe and the view / atmosphere is great. Try the fish sandwich !

This is the way to do it! Breakfast , lunch and dinner at Sam's then sleep on the boat! Bring your own booze too!

They don't always have it, but the crab meat salad sandwich is an absolute treasure.

Amazing Crab Omelette , fantastic over the water location. Low Key brunch with limited menu though

Leave the cold and fog behind. Take the ferry from san Francisco to Tiburon and spend the afternoon in the sun!

Fish and Chips are incredible here. Also, the blue cheese garlic bread is a MUST!

Nice SF view with nice meal and drink

Hands down beat ahi tuna sandwich i've ever had- foccacia bread was baked to perfection

Awesome views on a sunny day. Try the signature lemonade .

A trip up to Sam's either via ferry or drive across the Golden Gate is a must do on a warm weekend afternoon . Usually it's 10 degrees warmer than in SF.
