My wife and I first discovered Fire + Ice in Lake Tahoe and absolutely loved it, so when we saw they had a location at Pier 39 in San Francisco, we knew we had to check it out.
While we were walking through to look at the menu and buffet line, the manager greeted us with such warmth and sincerity—it instantly set the tone for the visit. We decided to come back later for dinner, and when we returned, we were seated at a fantastic table with an even better server, Nathan. Both the manager and Nathan were amazing—genuinely friendly, attentive, and kind.
The food was fresh, plentiful, and fun! My wife, two daughters, and I all went back for multiple helpings. For those who haven’t been, Fire + Ice is an all-you-can-eat experience where you fill a bowl with whatever ingredients you like, bring it to the big circular grill, and watch the chefs cook it right in front of you—sometimes with a little show. They even did a small fire trick for me right on the grill!
The whole staff was smiling and made us feel more like friends than customers. The atmosphere, food, and people were all top-notch—honestly, even better than the Lake Tahoe location (sorry, Tahoe!).
My daughter already said she wants to come back every year for her birthday, and I told her she doesn’t have to wait that long.
Pro tips:
Lunch is served until 2:30 p.m. and costs about $25.
Dinner starts after that and runs around $35.
If you’re going on a Friday or Saturday night, make a reservation—it gets busy! We went on a Sunday evening and it was pleasantly active but not packed.
Absolutely beautiful experience from start to finish. Highly recommend—you won’t regret it!
