"The Old Clam House has been around since 1861, and once you step inside, it still feels like this Bayview restaurant’s opening day. There’s an old Western saloon feel with stained glass windows, dangling lantern lights, and dark wooden booths. And after all these years, they still serve some of the best chowder in the city. It’s a little thinner than other chowders on this list, but nails its creamy-to-tangy ratio. Get it in a bread bowl, give it a few minutes to cool (if you can resist), and eat." - julia chen 1, ricky rodriguez
