About The Hook

If you are spending the day around Fisherman’s Wharf, The Hook at Pier 39 in San Francisco is the kind of seafood restaurant that instantly pulls you in with its relaxed waterfront energy and fresh coastal flavors. Sitting right in the middle of one of the city’s busiest tourist spots, The Hook feels casual, lively, and easy to enjoy whether you are stopping by after sightseeing or looking for a laid-back dinner with friends. The outdoor seating adds a fun touch because you can soak in the Pier 39 atmosphere while enjoying the cool bay breeze and watching the crowds move through the area.

The Hook keeps things simple in the best possible way. The menu focuses on comforting seafood dishes that are satisfying without feeling overly complicated. It is a great place for a quick bite during a busy afternoon, but it also works well for a slower dine-in experience when you want to relax near the water. The restaurant offers onsite services, takeout, and dine-in options, giving visitors flexibility depending on their plans for the day. Even though delivery is not available, most people come here for the experience of eating directly at the pier anyway.

Another thing that makes The Hook stand out is the welcoming food and drink selection. Guests can pair seafood favorites with beer, wine, or cocktails, while coffee is available for anyone wanting something warm during San Francisco’s cooler evenings. The small plates are perfect for sharing, especially if you are visiting with a group and want to sample a little bit of everything. The overall vibe stays casual and approachable, making The Hook a comfortable stop for tourists, couples, and locals exploring Pier 39. Its location at Pier 39, San Francisco, CA 94133, United States also makes it incredibly convenient for visitors already exploring nearby waterfront attractions, souvenir shops, and street performances throughout the day.

came here on a Thursday, not crowded at all! food was pretty good (we got fish and chips), however, portions are not equal but price remains consistent. friends were given larger pieces of fish but we all payed the same amount of money. quick service! overall, not bad :)

I ordered garlic potatoes, a fish wrap paired with a Lagunitas IPA, everything was absolutely exquisite. The service is quick. The only downside is that there are no restrooms on site, and the ones you can use at Pier 39 are not exactly close.

Was looking for a quick seafood restaurant along Pier 39 and stopped at the Hook! The had more reasonable prices compared to the neighboring restaurants. I purchased a cup of clam chowder and crab cakes with garlic fries. Everyone along the pier offered garlic fries so I had to try! They had many of their menu items on displays which was helpful as a first timer here. The clam chowder was on the thicker side and creamy (my preferred style) but did have a hint of bacon flavor which may not be for everyone. The crab cakes tasted fresh as well as the French fries. It was definitely a larger portions so come hungry. Also there was outdoor seating and a mini donut place right next door. Very happy with this meal!

Personally, I found the food quite good, depending on your choice. We tried the salmon sandwich, fried calamari, and clam chowder. The salmon was fresh, the calamari perfectly done, and the clam chowder creamy and thick as we prefer. The weather was chilly, so the food cooled quickly. Service was excellent!

Good restaurant on the pier for a cheap, quick bite that’s also pretty good! I personally recommend their Philly cheesesteak, which is savory from the beef and cheese and sweet from the grilled peppers and onions. As well as, their sausage and grilled peppers and onions. Quite literally mouth watering and they both pair so well perfectly. Their crab poppers are personally a pass for me as it’s a small portion for the price they are charged.

I found the food to be quite good, depending on your choice. We tried the fish and chips, as well as the clam chowder. The fish was fresh, and we appreciated that the clam chowder was creamy and thick, which is our preference. Since the weather was chilly, the food cooled down quickly. The service was excellent, but the outside patio could have been cleaner.

Great clam Chowder! I loved how warm it was, not too hot and too cold. It wasn’t too expensive as other places around here. They served it on the spot, zero wait time.
