We have dined most of the restaurants at Pier 39 but this one, today we gave it a try.
We arrived lunch time on a sunny weekend and luckily got seated right away. It got packed and lines started outside immediately after that. The menu is one page, making ordering easy. We ordered Super Combo which is actually good for 3 people. We ordered 2 Calamari, we enjoyed it. Clam chowder’s so so, was not served warm. Fried rice’s is good for 3-4 people too.
View of the Bay, server’s attentive and orders come out fast.
Probably my second or third favorite restaurant in Pier 39.

Had such a great experience at Crab House! Our server was incredibly friendly and made us feel very welcome from the start. We were seated by the window, and the view was absolutely phenomenal — it really elevated the whole meal.
The food was extremely tasty, and the portion sizes were generous, which we definitely appreciated. Everything came out fresh and flavorful.
Will definitely be back!

Drinks came after we got our food. The food was that quick! lol
David was a great waiter!
We got the full crab and calamari. Husband and I shared and left still hungry but the food was very tasty and well worth it. The peach soda is also really good!
Recommend the lemon butter to go with the crab
If you park in the big garage parking lot just across the street, they will validate

Dined at The Crab House at Pier 39 and had a decent experience overall. The restaurant is very loud and extremely crowded, which seems to be part of the appeal since it’s a busy spot that locals enjoy. Service was okay overall, but Alex truly stood out with attentive and friendly service.
We ordered the crab steak with veggies on the side, the toasted tomato cheese bread (which was really good), calamari, and a whole crab — all solid. The standout dish of the meal was the crab fried rice, which was easily the best thing we ordered. Drinks were good as well. While the food was enjoyable, the atmosphere was overwhelming due to the noise and crowd. Great service from Alex and some strong dishes, but the environment keeps it at three stars.

Crab House at PIER 39 in San Francisco offers a delightful dining experience for seafood enthusiasts. The restaurant provides breathtaking views of the Golden Gate Bridge and Fiahermen’s Wharf.
The menu features a variety of fresh, sustainable seafood dishes, with the standout being their signature “Killer Crab®”—a whole Dungeness crab roasted in a secret garlic sauce and served sizzling on an iron skillet.
We received good service from Julie. It was friendly and attentive, contributing to a welcoming atmosphere.
For those seeking a memorable seafood meal with stunning bay views, Crab House at PIER 39 is a must-visit destination in San Francisco.

Food had been inconsistent in terms of taste. We went back lunch and dinner. We ordered super combo with fried rice, clam chowder and garlic noodle for lunch. Taste was salty and savoury.
For dinner, we ordered combo, veg, steak which was too well done and salad. I would say the dinner combo was abit bland. The only highlight was the cheese cake. Very soft tender and sweetness right on the mark. The use of the cream perhaps can be substituted with gelato or creamy ice cream to make it perfect. Something to check on the quality over the days.

This is a great place to have lunch while spending a day at fisherman’s wharf.
We ordered the crab cakes, Caesar salad, fish and chips, and a kids chicken tenders and fries. I might have thought that in a high traffic tourist location, the food might be mediocre. However, everything was very high quality in terms of ingredients and very well prepared.
Great view of the bay and sea lions doing flips as well.
Not surprisingly, most of the options on the menu are seafood. If you prefer land animals to eat, the options are fairly limited. The kids menu had a few solid options, but it was short.
Overall a good meal though.

Best seafood in town on Pier 39! Who wants fresh seafood with $1 million view? I do! Amazing staff named David, took care of us with a perfect smile! Thank you Crab House for a great experience! Chow Chow Time!

Nice view, but unfortunately we didn’t enjoy the food.
The crab, prawns, and mussels were too dry and salty. The fried crab rice wasn’t good either.
It feels like you’re paying mainly for the view if you get a window seat.
Overall, I wouldn’t really recommend it.
