Nick's Lighthouse

The lobster roll was really delicious. But the outdoor seating was a little bothersome as tourists were passing directly past us. The prices were higher than I would've imagined but I guess you pay the price when in a tourist area. I would still recommend trying this place out if you're touring fisherman's warf. It's an experience to be had.

This is the best no frill clam chowder bowl in the fisherman’s wharf! The clowder is hearty, thick and creamy. The service is fast and efficient. It’s a very homey place if you want good food casually. I always come here on cold winter evenings and enjoy eating outside and people watching all the interesting sf locals lol!

Been coming here for years. Francis was my man on the pot, serving up delicious crab and clams and oysters on the half shell. Even taught me and my husband how to shuck when we came by on our impromptu wedding day many years ago during the winter of love. Francis is long gone and the interior is work-a-day, as all these places along the wharf were. I like to eat standing out by the steamy crab boil. And the food is just as delicious as ever and so I go out of my way each time I'm in the area to swing by for a crab and some clams. Highly recommend.

An iconic seafood restaurant right on Fisherman's Wharf. We were there on Cinco de Mayo weekend on a Sunday. Fisherman's Wharf was not crowded at all and we were seated in the restaurant as soon as we walked in the door. There were only a few other small groups in the restaurant but the noise level was a little on the high side. We had the crab Louie salad, a shrimp salad and fried oysters. The food was very good as was the service. The decor is a bit dated but typical for restaurants in the area. I was glad to see that it was open as most of the other restaurants in the Fisherman's Wharf area were closed and boarded up. It seemed that even the open restaurants on the Wharf had very few people dining for a Sunday afternoon. Even though this is a" tourist trap" eating seafood at Fisherman's Wharf is a must-do activity when you visit San Francisco. Thank you Nick's lighthouse for staying open.

We were looking for fried oysters and it sounded promising because the waiter went to the back after taking our order. As our clam chowder bread bowl and garlic fries(this was confusing because garlic fries wasn’t on the menu) were brought out, the waiter returned unfortunately saying they only had fresh oysters. Garlic fries were good, definitely ask for your condiments. The chowder could’ve used more clam.
