The view of the Golden Gate Bridge on the window side is a highlight. Food was okay, portions were a bit small. The waitress is courteous and helpful. When it came to payment we were a bit surprised. At first the tip for everyone totaled about 17 dollars. When we wanted to split the bill between three, she brazenly asked each of us to tip us $9, which ended up being $10 more...

Live in Oakland and will drive to fisherman's wharf just for their shrimp sandwich! Have been going since I was a kid and always get the calamari and a shrimp sandwich. Service is super fast and portions are great.

Clam Chowder ? was just ok, lack of seasoning... also disappointed to have the starter at the same time than the plate !

Good food, reasonable priced, but a bored and pissed off staff that kills everything.

Was walking around with my wife and son near Fisherman's Wharf and stumbled on The Crab Station. I live in the bay area but don't get a chance to come to the city very often so I was determined to have a cup of clam chowder and a Lobster Roll. I thought the the $10 cup of clam chowder was excellent (5/5). It wasn't too salty and was nice and hot. Since I was eating outside and it was around 50 degrees, it was nice to have some warm soup. The price for the Lobster roll wasn't listed on the menu but I'm guessing it was somewhere around $30. It had a generous amount of lobster on fresh sourdough bread roll. Not the best Lobster roll I have ever had but I would say a solid 3.5/5. In general, I enjoyed the laid back casual outdoor atmosphere and would go back again.

We did not try the crab station. We heard it was okay and overpriced from the locals.

The food was yummy had the crab sandwich & clam chowder staff was nice definitely going back when if I were to go to San Francisco
Was on a mission to get a lobster roll. Had decided to try one from here. It was tasty, but to my surprise I enjoyed the crab roll more.

Overall: 7.5/10 "The Crab Station" is definitely a perfect spot if you're in a need for something quick and delicious. I ordered the "Mix Item Combo" which came with (Jumbo Shrimp, Calamari and a side of Curly Fries, The food is definitely fresh and delicious, only down side I've encountered was that my food was on a bit heavy on the salt side. Aside from that there's plenty of other delicious options to try. When it comes to there service there very friendly to new comers. Just be aware that when you do come by, either try to come before or after lunch rush because it does get a bit hectic due to other connected restaurants. So plan accordingly.

Turns out we've eaten in their dining room before but actually brought in food from a neighboring biz. Whoops! I was extremely saddened to see that neighboring restaurants, Tarantino's and Guardino's, both closed for good due to the pandemic. They were our go-to's for crab and chowder. Luckily, Crab Station weathered the storm. ATMOSPHERE: Located in the heart of Fisherman's Wharf on Taylor Street, the takeaway stand has a few outdoor tables along the sidewalk and a lesser known indoor dining room. The "dining room" is in back of the stand and features three double counter seats and two high tops. We had it all to ourselves until a few stragglers took notice. MENU: Seafood apps, soups & mains. Soft drinks & beer. FOOD: Dungeness Crab - $ MP Our two medium-ish sized crabs came out to $59. They cooked it, cracked it and served it up with lemon wedges, drawn butter and cocktail sauce. Simply divine. Clam Chowder - $10.00 (bowl) Very tasty and creamy. Served in a paper bowl with oyster crackers to the side, we took it to nearby pier 45 where we consumed it all while enjoying the sensory experiences of the area and view of Alcatraz. My heaven... SERVICE: Surprisingly really good and professional, especially from a sidewalk stand. Kudos! OVERALL: This is exactly how we like to consume crustacean in SF. No glass plates, waiters in tuxes, or climate-controlled rooms.
