The quality of the food went down significantly from the last time I was here. Service is still decent, as always, and the overall atmosphere is great, with plenty of screens to watch sports, a well-curated craft beer selection, and tables that are kept sparkling clean and very comfortable. My friend’s food looked pretty good. I had their fish and chips, which unfortunately does not come with coleslaw. Everything was overcooked. The fish was at least hot, indicating it was cooked to order. But the fries (wedges) were not even lukewarm and tasted like they were sitting there for a long while. Extremely disappointing. As I was walking out I saw people having fries that looked perfectly cooked and fresher. So I thought maybe I just got unlucky. I understand they get busy during lunch. But to serve food in such an inconsistent manner is just not acceptable, especially when you’re paying almost $17 plus tip, for three little pieces of fish. Their tartar sauce could use some work as well. Won’t be back anytime soon.

Came for the first time recently and had a good experience. Atmosphere is cool and casual. The procedure is you order standing up then seat yourself anywhere. However, we had a server pull us over and basically stuck with us the whole time which was very nice and we appreciated it. They have a full bar here and lots of TV’s with 2 oversized projectors. The sweet potatoe fries here are knee buckling and a must try!

Clearman’s Galley—better known as “The Boat”—is one of the best-kept secrets in the San Gabriel Valley. With multiple TVs, it’s a great spot to watch all your favorite teams. The establishment is clean, comfortable, and welcoming, with excellent food and drink selections. The staff is incredibly polite and helpful, which speaks volumes about the management. If I could give them more ⭐️, I would! Stop in—trust me, you’ll be very happy you did.

Always a good time. Not a sports guy but the atmosphere is great. Prices are a bit high in my opinion. But no different than anywhere else in this economy. So enjoy a great burger with a great beer!

I was here for an Alumni event for my HS. This was the first time here. The staff here earn their money and they are VERY BUSY (so be nice and be patient with them). They have a patio with a fire pit that you can sit around and it’s raised with chairs around it. They have a fire place inside too, but I don’t know how often they use it. Clearman’s North Woods Inn is next door. This is the new location for The Galley (The Boat). I will need to come back to see how they are to give them 5 stars. 😉

Fantastic place to watch sports games. Huge screens. Great energy. I haven’t been here in years, and the good is still very good. The server was helpful and friendly. Both our sandwiches, turkey club and beef dip were delicious. Our sides of fries and onion rings were good.

Clearman’s Galley – “The Boat”

Where you come hungry, leave heavier, and somehow still want more.

You don’t just “go” to The Boat. You dock there like a busted-up pirate ship that’s been out to sea for decades, crawling in with a crew of misfits, bandmates, and the one guy who still owes you twenty bucks from 1994. The moment you walk in, you get smacked in the face with that scent — deep-fried, char-grilled, nostalgia-marinated air that could make a vegan sweat.



The Food

The burgers aren’t Instagram-ready little tower sculptures — they’re real. Beefy, greasy enough to lube your elbows, served on buns that could probably stop a BB. Fries? Crisp outside, fluffy inside, perfectly engineered to scoop up enough ketchup to alarm a cardiologist. The chicken dinners are so golden and crunchy you’ll think someone’s smuggling them out of a county fair.

You’re not here for microgreens. You’re here for meat, salt, and joy.



The Vibe

It’s not a “theme.” It’s a damn boat. And not some polished yacht either — this thing has seen some stuff. The rebuild might’ve made it bigger, but it’s still got that “everyone’s welcome” buzz. Sports blaring on a wall of screens, kids trying to beat the claw machine, someone in the corner explaining how they almost opened for Van Halen in ’82.

The place can handle entire bands, three birthday parties, and your cousin Larry who talks too loud — all at once — without breaking a sweat.



The History

Back in the ’70s, ’80s, and ’90s, this was the pit stop for every SGV rocker, punk, and garage-band hero. Pre-show fuel? Check. Post-gig debrief with beer and fries? Double check. You probably saw more handshake deals for “we’re starting a band” happen here than at any recording studio in the Valley.



The Service

Quick. Friendly. They actually look you in the eye — which is rare these days. No pretense, no fake smiles, just that “let’s get you fed” energy that makes you trust them instantly.



Final Word

The Boat is an SGV time capsule that still floats. It’s loud, greasy, friendly, and perfect. You come here to eat like you mean it, laugh until you choke on a fry, and remember why chain restaurants will never compete with a place that’s got real history, real food, and real people.

Pro tip: Don’t wear white. And bring an appetite big enough to shame your past self.

Sports bar/restaurant. Large cavernous place with numerous large screen TVs for your Abbott sports fans to enjoy. You place your order at the counter for your food, then go find a place to sit and the food will be delivered to you. Kind of a noisy place so it’s kind of hard to have conversations over the loud music, etc. Decent size outdoor patio. I did not order any food at this location, however, other folks in my parties did and seem to enjoy their meal.

Fun place, might be because we went on a chargers football night and they won. Food was classic bar food and the bar menu was extensive.
