Yankee Pier claims to fly in its seafood twice daily. Lobster , crab , and chowder can be found on the menu, as well as the "All-at-Once Speedee Meal"—perfect for those rushing to a connecting flight.

Brian Lin

Very pleasantly surprised with this airport diner - great breakfast , attentive & friendly service , they make an early morning flight seem tolerable - indeed, desirable! Will definitely comeback.

Dale Larson

1) Maila is a spectacular waitress ! 2) We go out of our way to schedule flights so we can have breakfast here (the Tillamook cheddar and chive omelette , with fresh dungeness crab if you prefer).

Jeremy Anslow

Decent spot for some quick chowder while waiting for a flight. Local craft beer on draft too.

Bill Hendrix

Stopped in for breakfast before my flight. Got the Greek Omelet--fluffy omelet , potatoes & toast . Potatoes were a bit plain but fine, rest was quite tasty. Service was excellent--quick tea refills!

Brian Rohde

Shrimp salad is great! Staff work really hard to get you in and out efficiently. My staple before flying for breakfast or a glass of bubbly.

Claude Harrison

For dinner , it is hard to not get the salmon . A large filet, a good mound of spinach and for hidden rice , with a hollandaise . Hot, fast, good.

Christopher Buckley

This is the place to eat if you're on your way thru SFO: tasty menu complies with Monterey Aquarium Seafood Watch. Try the steelhead salmon salad with an Anchor Steam on tap .

Shri Malisetty

Priority pass perk . Grilled fish dinner is a bomb! Impossible burger is out of this world too.

Elisa

Priority pass now accepted, but they do have a period of time between breakfast and lunch (around 1030 to 11am) where they are closed and only serve items at the bar like clam chowder or drinks.

Michael Tchou

Fantastic service. Good clam chowder . Try the Golden Gate IPA .

Brian Lin

Served by Emilo & Maila this AM. As previous commenters pointed out, both were phenomenal: attentive service calibrated to the morning flyer. Wish some high end restaurants I've been had this. Kudos.

Barbara Stephenson

Fast breakfast food , not crazy $, good service , and martinis at 6am.

Steve Giovannetti

My favorite place to eat at SFO. There clam chowder is awesome.

SteveHult

Probably my best airport food experience to date, which isn't saying too much. Steak and Eggs was surprisingly really well cooked... Could've used more seasoning, but again, expectations were exceeded

Neil Johnston

Far exceeded my airport restaurant expectations. Watched the chef from behind the bar and he was into it with intensity. And it showed, dinner was fantastic.

Santiago Blanco

Love that they all ask you how much time you have until your flight. Courteous and on it!

Erik

Great food, amazing for an airport . Got a nice blackened piece of fish with some killer spinach .

Tomomi I

The restaurant is a part of the Priority Pass "Lounge", if you are card holders.

Jim Bailey

Claim chowder and fish taco are a great option during a lay over.

Kelly

Priority Pass perk . The burger is good, and the shrimp and chips are delicious!

Claude Harrison

Be sure to let wait staff know your time frame. They'll get you in and out!

The Hair Thing of Tom’s River

The food here is quite worthy, especially for an airport restaurant . Prices we on the high side but it was worth it.

Santiago Blanco

Crab sammich was quite tasty! And the bread ???? was so soft.

Ariel Zach

They have granola w yogurt for breakfast and the granola is really good!

Angie

This might sound strange but the wheat toast is sooooo good. Nutty tasting deliciousness. And always friendly service here.

Mary Li

the seafood linguini is really yummy!

Christine Fatta

The butterscotch pudding is very fresh tasting.

Lauren Drogos

Not as fast as expected, but breakfast sandwich was absolutely delish!

Lazar Stojković

If you are a Priority Pass member, you get $28 credit towards your meal here.

Grace Burns

I've had to eat at many airports and this restaurant is actually edible and more satisfying than most. Definitely eat here if you had a choice and a delay. Which is likely...

Get to the airport early and have the Dungeness Crab Eggs Benedict for breakfast . Pricy but so good.

Jason DeHaan

They have Anchor Steam on draft if you're looking for a decent beer .

Jane Kim

Clam chowder is loaded with veggies and clam bits. Makes it worth the price. Consistency is more watery than I'm used to but doesn't mean it's bland. One negative - A bit too much pepper for my taste.

David Smith

They have malt vinegar , if you want some with your fish and chips .

Wayne Hall

Fantastic customer service. I was quite disappointed in the food when it arrived due to my expectations being off, as well as the limited options but the waitress handled the situation superbly.

Jan Vsqz????

Exceeded my airport food expectations. Excellent service , ask for Emilo, he's the best!!

Brian Strauss

Before people really demanded good food in airports , this was my “go to” at SFO. That statement doesn’t say much for this place any more. Over cooked eggs . Watery coffee — at least it’s hot.

Kathy Fell

Really good granola !

Olga Alexeeva

Super fast! Love this airport spot

Tommy Maloney

The food is really good and yes prices are high but it is in a airport .

Tom West

Bowl of chowder and a n Anchor Steam draft make for a very nice start before an afternoon flight. ✈

ISC Chicago

Good alternative for dining at an airport

m. d.

Clam chowder is actually decent and not goopy. Fast service and good food.

Leif E. Pedersen

This place has been here for ages. Not very good, but still be best around.

Jonathan Tashima

Good fries . Good staff too, warned me how long the food would take when they were super busy.

CJ

Use your Priority pass credits here!

Nan Hopkinz

Bradley Ogden (Lark Creek) restaurant . The butterscotch pudding is excellent!!!

Ben Elgart

Tasty fish and chips . Tiny serving. Not a great value for their premium pricing.
