San Francisco Pier 39 Restaurants
Native
San Franciscans deplore the crowded and touristy pier 39. But amongst the
schlock, the gauche and the carnival like atmosphere, there is a charm to
pier 39. We also believe it’s an excellent place to bring young
children. Don’t expect gourmet food, but then again the experience is
memorable.
If you
drive, park at the pier 39 garage. Most restaurants validate one hour of
free parking for lunch and two hours of free parking for dinner. You
can also get to Pier 39 by the F Market streetcar Line. We have
assembled some additional information on our
Pier 39 district site.
Pier 39
restaurants include:
Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. Restaurant and Market Phone:
415 781 4867 (GUMP)
Building M, Level 2
www.bubbagump.com
This Forrest Gump inspired Restaurant is a casual family seafood house
with average food. This is a good place to bring children but prices are
not cheap.
Chic's Seafood Restaurant
Closed. Re-opening in May 2007 as Fog Harbor Fish House.
Crab House at PIER 39
Phone: 415 434 2722
Building C, Level 2
www.crabhouse39.com
This crab house offers Dungeness crab, crab chowder, crab Caesar, Crab
Cioppino, Crab Enchilada and crab cakes. While the food quality is fine,
Crab prices are about 20% higher than comparable fisherman’s wharf
offerings. On the other hand they have a very inexpensive $4.95 children’s
menu.
Dante's Seafood Grill
415 421 5778
Building N, Level 1 & Building N, Level 2
Great clam chowder but mediocre and somewhat pricey seafood, steaks and
pasta. Outdoor heated deck.
Eagle Cafe
415 433 3689
Building A, Level 2
This is a good breakfast choice for pier 39, but like most tourist
destinations, expect to pay above market prices.
Forbes Island
415 951 4900
H-Dock
www.forbesisland.com
This is a great pier 39 restaurant to bring the kids. The island is
actually a fixed boat with an underwater view. This is an experience which
you’ll remember, and for that reason a recommended choice. The ferry to
Forbes island departs from the west marina gate H. Reservations are
strongly recommended.
Hard Rock Cafe
Serving Lunch and Dinner

Neptune's Palace Seafood Restaurant
415 434 2260
Building K, Level 2
This seafood restaurant offers great views of San Francisco Bay, the
Golden Gate Bridge, and Alcatraz. (Some however consider Neptune's Palace
restaurant to be a bit of tourist trap).

415.433.0400
Building M, Level 2
www.northbeachpizza.com
This north beach pizza chain outlet offers an all-you-can-eat buffet, and
