Lou's Fish Shack

Much like the other reviews on here, the great foodakes up for the poor service. The waitress forgot us a couple times and was about as I attentive as they come. Friendly and warm, but I had to get up and get my own drinks and bus the tables myself too. Fortunately, the food we got: wings, Loaded fries, oysters and fried fish were sooo good! The drinks weren't bad either. Sitting outside and watching the tourists go by with some super good wings and a cold beer was fantastic!

Lou's Fish Shack was packed for their Alfresco dining on a beautiful sunny day, the food was acceptably good, although not extraordinary, but the service was probably the worst I've experienced in Fisherman's Wharf, over the last 15 years. Who was my server? Man? Woman? Willing to exchange goods or services for money. Hungry, and in need of seafood. Any suggestions add how I can get water, and my food ordered within a 15-minute period? The only one who seemed to cared was a bespeckled young male employee / manager, but otherwise it was a service island, no pun intended. A bowl of seafood chowder was about $10, a kid's hamburger meal was about $9, and alcoholic beverages we're in keeping for the neighborhood of the heavily touristy Fisherman's Wharf. Street parking nearby, or paid lots, wheelchair accessible first floor, a host will seat you at your table, and modest prices (again for the neighborhood). $$$ out of $$$$$. The jury's still out on recommending Lou's Fish Shack, or not.

Great supper spot. Loved the dungeness crab bisque with sourdough bowl. Tip i learnedwas to eat the bread inside with a fork sho you can dip it in soup. Easier than tearing bread with full bowl soup. The farm salad was fabulous. My daughter and i shared the salad and the soup and was very filling. Reasonably priced. Great service. We stopped in after our afternoon at Alcatraz. Great time.

They are a good company, overpriced, understaffed and silly San Francisco has a 4% communist penalty from the local government. Tourist trap in a nutshell. This took away from the meal experience. Not sure if them or the local government made them put the Gender sign up, but news flash humans come in only two DNA flavors, male and female. The owner should replace this sign with "restroom" if he is legally allowed to do so.

Happy Hour drinks and appetizers lured us to explore. Buffalo Chkn Wings are great! Calamari is very ordinary. Draft beer choices limited to 5 and not so good. Salmon turned out to be just right along with Cod Fish Tacos

Fish and chips were great! Also a great people watching spot on the patio. Good margaritas as well!

This place really nice got the Fish and chips must say the fish was really good not fishy at all really fresh also got the popcorn shrimp omg it was so fresh and do good and they give you a lot of them a lil on the pricey side but the food was good would not suggest eating outside on a busy day unless your off the sidewalk side.

Great service and location! Popcorn shrimp is rocking, crab roll has a little left to be desired, but the bread was awesome!
