We did not schedule a visit to the Wharf, but thought we would stop by to pick up something to eat while waiting for the boat to Alcatraz. A short walk along the Wharf and grabbing a quick bite along the way just enough time for us. It was nice to visit the popular spot to see it for ourselves,... more

This restaurant was desperate for customers, a worker there was touting for business outside in the evening and told us we could choose from the lunch menu which suited us. It was 6pm on a Friday night and the place was practically empty. It was very run down and needed gutting and remodelling to be honest. The food was only... more

As I reviewed in the Cable Cars attraction, I think Fisherman's Wharf is a must see attraction in SF... But of course you have many other places to go and things to do in the city rather than walking here... So go, but don't spend much time! more

Only reason i went there was for the INnOut burger. Since it is so famous and hyped, you kinda have to go here. highlights are the views of the water and innout. We walked down from here to the Alcatraz ferry pier. Proof that it is too touristy, there is a Gap here. more

Yes this is a tourist trap but its fun. It has alot of decent souveniors, shops, the sea lions, street performers, the aquarium and many decent restaurants (high priced to cheap eats). This is also where many tour operators work out of and it has great views. If your in San Fransisco you have to spend at least an hour... more

The Wharf presents beautiful views of the Bay and Alcatraz. There are also some neat old boats. Most of the shops are cheap and tacky, but there are a few hidden gems. Boudins Bakery is quite nice and interesting, as you can see their wonderful sourdough bread being made. Ghiardelli's chocolate is lots of fun. Pier 39 is a newer... more

I suppose you have to see it but I really struggled to see what all the fuss was about and was glad that we were not staying there. There is so much more to see and do in SF that does not involve throngs of people being served poor quality food at ridiculous prices! I would grudgingly recommend it to... more

Great place. Easy acess. My only thing is there are a few scammers down there who will try to get you a timeshare presentation and offer free trips to vegas or hawaii,, ignore them and steer clear of the street performers who are basically bums in disguise. The big tip is dont stay at a hotel in the Wharf. Get... more

The crowds weren't too bad when I went in November. Everything is overpriced though. The panhandlers and homeless people just get annoying after a while. Parking is expensive so I recommend taking the Muni F line (only $1.50) from one of the BART stations (Powell, Montegomery, or Embarcadero stations). more
