    Came here since I had no patience to wait in the lines at Boudin for their clam chowder bread bowls. While the food was not awful, it was not great either. Atmosphere reminded me of a fast food joint with tons of children yelling and opened ketchup packets and smears everywhere. Would take the wait at Boudin over this next time.

    Awful, dirty dinning area, crowded, greasy food, and they are liars. Why I am saying that because they put cole slaw as a side portion for fish and chips, but Something like shredded moss came with strange taste.
    Not recommended at all. You will get stomachache after eat their food.

    This was the worst restaurant I have ever been to and I am normally very complimentary of restaurants no matter how bad. If I could give this zero stars I would. I got the shrimp and crab chowder bowl but I can't even call it that; there was zero crab and one microscopical shrimp but I can't even call it shrimp. Don't come here. Ever.

    Charged us $50 for two bowls of mediocre soup and coffee, after spending 20 minutes flagging down someone just to pay the bill.

    Will not be back.

    Wish I would have read reviews before hand . Everytime I am in San Fran this place is crowded so I assumed it was good. Well mabyb peolple were just there for the bar setting . The food was whatever, over priced for tourist and it took forever to get our food . It's a good place for a quick drink or cocktail but not dinner.
