This is the one place i always go when in the bay area. You have to go early or be prepared to wait, but it's worth it. The no frills counter isn't particularly comfortable, but the staff is always friendly and more than makes up for the slightly cramped environment. Oysters, chowders, old fashioned crab Louies....they're outstanding. Anchor Steam on... more

Small narrow space with counter seating and line-ups.. we got there early enough so hardly had to wait. It was our last stop before our trip back home. Could have ended up being a bad place to go before a flight, but ended up being good. Was nervous about trying raw oysters again, as my last experience years ago left... more

if you like fresh seafood, this is the place! it's worth the wait! more

great food, but you have to wait in line a long time to get in, great service more

I love raw oysters and eat them every chance I can. I don't care what they cost, I just want the best and lots of them. On my last trip to SF I ate two platters of assorted fresh oysters at the Hog Oyster Company in the Ferry Building. It cost about $100 and it was, at best, nothing special.... more

Limited menu but delicous and the seafood is sooo fresh! Great lunch place! more

If you want the best, freshest sea food you've ever tasted, go here. Get the chowder. Get the smoked salmon. Get the shrimp and crab and above all: THE OYSTERS ARE AMAZING. Words don't do it justice. It's a little pricey, but so is everything else in the bay area, and the ambience and charm to this place are unmatched.... more

The clam chowder here is second to none! Awesome! And the atmosphere and people who run it are so personable and nice. Good wines and seafood salad is to die for all fresh and delicious! more

Bar stool seating, long wait, Good if you like raw oysters and seafood. I didn't like the clam chowder. Louie Salad was okay. more
