We had the best crab ever. Very good food. Dungeness crab is so tasty, you have to try it !
The BEST chowder on the wharf hands down. The crab cakes are my absolute favorite. The crab pasta is also fantastic. Love the old school charm!
Best Food on the Wharf. It has all of the San Francisco eats that you want to try. Crab Cake is to die for. The Market Crab is amazing. The Cioppino is crazy good and the drinks are fantastic.
Great service, good food (pasta al pesto is a nice choice) and a view to the Golden Gate Bridge (upstairs).
Get the table in the back with the view of the Harbour . This is one if the first restaurants on the Wharf in SF est. 1935.
The food was Great! We had a half crab and shrimp sandwiches . Service wasn't the best, we sat in the very back against the window. Probably will never eat there again, but glad we tried it.
Superior Service! Best place to have a bowl of clam chowder in SF. They're oysters on the half shell also really fresh!
Best. Coffee . Ever. Also, I've never been served in a restaurant better than I have here.
The clam chowder and fried oysters were delicious
Beautiful spot to bring out of towners. Bring my family here every time and always a hit!
Try the Dungeness Crab sandwich for lunch . Yummy. See photo.
Definitely worth checking out for the gift shop that time forgot, the custom fisherman carpet, the diorama and the upstairs bar but skip the chowder . Go to Musee Mecanique after.
Great food. But service could be friendlier. Parking validation only for lot in front of restaurant .
nice staff , nice crabs , 7up instead of Sprite and the most awesome chouder!
Pasta with Crab was really good.. and the pasta was 'al dente '.. perfect!
The service was great - friendly bartenders with interesting info about the area.
The manager opened the bar for my friends and I before they were actually open. Superb customer service from Fidel.
People watching is amazing here. Make sure to have a cup of coffee . Please tip well .
The clam chowder is Awesome!
Go for the whole crab
Best service ever, hands down. Please please please remember to tip well !!!!
The shrimp dishes are very fresh and good. Don't forget that Bay shrimp are really small tiny shrimp .
Great views and great food. A must see! http://sf.travelivery.com
Alexander is the best waiter ! He always make sure you have plenty re-fills.
Get the crab sandwich . The Louis sauce was delicious.
Ask for salmon cakes . You wont regret! Great service ever
Great view of the pier , good place to sit and enjoy a bread bowl
Gotta go upstairs to see the groovy decor.
Good place and location. Treatment: 10!
Landmark aside, the menu and food preparation haven't changed much since I first went... back in '85 (age 3). Not that that's a bad thing. The spumoni is always good and the booze isn't watered down,
Dungeness Crab Sandwich was great views are also but service is a little slow...
The garlic crab is so wonderful I went back and had it again the next day!
It was okay. Clam Chowder was tasty but $$$. It was a bit breezy and they would not turn on the radiant heaters. Appetizer came second go figure. I would not return here.
Avoid the upstairs dining at any cost. They spend more on the atmosphere and look of the place than the quality of the food
seafood ! clam chowder .
Best service we've had in all of San Francisco.
Shrimp Coctail !
Been coming here for 20 years... the decor and menu might be the same, the food quality certainly isn't. Clam chowder was terrible (compared to the one they serve at Le Boudin ), swordfish was just ok.
Great deals great food and super fresh!
Them crab legs in garlic butter is tasty
The fried shrimp appetizer is very tasty!
Great view while having a great meal!!
Free Sourdough bread , whole crab , two seafood pastas = $85 excl tip. Mediocre food. Nice view of fisherman's wharf.
Place seems a little "worn" since my last visit, but granted that was over 10 years ago
We sat for 25 minutes and never saw a menu or waiter .
Great Chowder , bad service
Not recommended!! Service is beyond slow! Never got a drink refill. Waited 30 minutes just for a check. Halibut was cold and tough and veggies hard as a rock. Food is as old as the establishment.

Great views & good foods. Period. Many people blindly in love with clam chowder, but why not try Cioppino? It's local food!! - Katsu Goto
