The Best Restaurants on San Francisco’s Embarcadero | Eater SF

"This classic after-work haunt is packed with happy hour drinkers and diners chowing down on Perry’s burgers. Expect pleasing pub food like potato skins and fried calamari, with hearty dinners like pot roast and spaghetti with meatballs. It’s also a pleasant destination for brunch on the patio, which overlooks the Bay Bridge." - Eater Staff

The San Francisco Legacy Businesses to Add to Your Eating and Drinking List | Eater SF

"This waterfront restaurant may have started on Union Street, but it’s hard to knock the outstanding views of the Bay Bridge that come alongside the fare at the Embarcadero location of Perry’s. The weekend brunch, starring eggs Benedicts and corned beef hash, is not to be missed." - Paolo Bicchieri

We came here for dinner recently. It's a very nice restaurant with great views of the waterfront. Service was a little slow getting us our drinks and dessert. We ordered the roasted half chicken and the sole meuniere. For dessert we ordered the strawberry cake.

Perry's on the Embarcadero, located at 155 Steuart Street, is a great spot close to my workplace. It offers more than just a beautiful waterfront view. Since its opening in 2008, Perry's has built on the tradition of the original Perry's on Union Street, which started in 1969. The aim was to bring a classic New York bar and grill feel to San Francisco. The restaurant has a rustic interior with exposed brick and offers a flexible dining experience. I have enjoyed after-work drinks and farewell gatherings here. The spacious corner seating comfortably accommodates our group of twenty or more, along with great service and tasty small bites. Perry's is perfect for many events. Sports fans will like the bar area, which has large TVs and attentive bartenders, so you won’t miss any action. On sunny days, the outdoor seating provides a refreshing atmosphere. Inside, there are cozy tables for smaller groups, and it’s easy to make reservations for larger parties. What sets Perry's apart is the high quality of their classic American dishes, which are made with fresh ingredients. I’ve had many satisfying lunches at the bar, where I could watch live soccer matches while enjoying their reliable menu. Whether it’s a casual lunch, post-work drinks, or a big celebration, Perry's on the Embarcadero offers a pleasant atmosphere, great service, and quality food.

Got the chicken burger with sweet potato fries - food was decent, but the cozy vibe and patio seating with panoramic Bay Bridge views totally made up for it. I’d definitely come back just for the experience and the view alone.

Great service, amazing atmosphere. Food was ok, shortly after we were served the appetizer they brought entree so we didn’t get to enjoy the clam chowder a lot. Me and my partner both got fish and chips and they were ok. It’s worth visiting!

I made reservations a couple months back for our first dinner in SF. Although it's a casual place, based on my research, it seemed like a popular neighborhood and tourist spot and I knew after driving up from OC we didn't want to wait to eat on a busy Friday evening. Upon arrival, it didn't seem too crowded. Busy but there were still plenty of open tables and spots at the bar. I initially requested patio seating but my husband and son didn't want to be outside as it was slightly balmy. We were seated close to the windows instead to enjoy the view of the Bay Bridge. We ordered the following: - French Onion Soup: very good. Nice and cheesy, could use maybe some more bread underneath but it was solid. - Buffalo Wings: these come sauced and were really tasty! Still had a nice crunch and bite to it even though they were very saucy. - Fish & Chips: great batter on the fish, which was very meaty and flaky. Standard fries, forgettable coleslaw (does anyone even eat the coleslaw?) - Chicken BLTA: husband said this was fine. Tastes as expected! - Kids' Chicken Tenders: not sure if these are the same tenders on the regular menu but my son ate it all up and had no complaints. - Apple Brown Betty: this was a cinnamon apple crumble pie w/ vanilla ice cream on top. Very rice and delicious! - Strawberry Cake: this was literally the same cake you can get at Ralph's/Safeway, etc. They must all get it from the same supplier! Still good but def not made in-house. Total for dinner (including 3 glasses of wine, a Shirley Temple, a coffee, and tax/tip) was $205. Service was very good. Our server came by often enough and was always pleasant. Note - we entered the restaurant through the Hotel Griffon on Steuart Street. I think there might be an entrance on the Embarcadero side, too.

I stayed at the Griffon hotel attached to Perry’s during my first trip to San Francisco, and dropped by for dinner on my first night here. The first bite out of my sole meunière was out of heaven - simple buttery goodness. The mashed potatoes are creamy and rich, and the side veggies are well cooked and well-salted. The sole meunière at Perry’s has now become a San Francisco tradition of mine. Every first night on my visits to this city, I drop by this cozy restaurant. Inside are dark wood floors, walls and ceilings. Tables are decorated in a vintage style, adorned with classic plaid tablecloths and small vases, a bud in each. Outside is a beautiful view of the embarcadero. Inside is a cozy cocoon. Every time I’ve been here, I’ve sat down solo either with a book or simply people watching. Highly recommend for the romantic solo traveller in San Francisco.

1st time here. We were seated outside with a great view of the Bay bridge, but they forgot about us. After they remembered us, we were taken care of. We enjoyed the food.

Came here with colleagues and was impressed by the menu - something for everyone and all quite good. Sadly I was busy chatting with coworkers so didn't get a chance to take photos of the food. I got a soup (tomato bisque) as appetizer and it was average size between a cup and a bowl and traditional and good. I also went for one of the salads (Magnolia) and it was nice size and great mix of toppings. The server was super friendly and came back often to check on us and to refill our drinks. They have a decent rotating of craft beer from local Bay Area breweries and a large wine list. Restaurant is casual yet nice and this location is near the water

Great location off the Embarcadero and walkable from BART. It sits near the Bay Bridge. Outdoor seating offers great people watching. Food and service was fine.

Came to Perry's in a large around for happy hour around 4:30ish and I thought the experience was a little lacking. We came on a Wednesday, the place was pretty empty, our group opted out to outside seating. We ordered some drinks with appetizers and the drinks took a while to come, our group ordered a range of beer, cans and bottle beverages. Our appetizers also took it's sweet time, and it came out in waves. If we came during busy time, I understand, it would take time, but it was nearly empty inside and there was 2 groups in their outdoor seating area. We ordered some onion rings, calamari, loaded potatoes and some artichoke dip. I did not try the artichoke, but the onion rings was really oily for me, calamari needed ALOT of sauce, and the loaded potatoes was my favorite item. We opted out of staying for dinner at 6pm and took the party to next door instead. Overall, ok experience for the location and quality of service. It works, but it did not impress me.

Perry's on the Embarcadero is a waterfront extension of the original Perry's, which opened in 1969 on Union Street in San Francisco. Founded by Perry Butler, it aimed to bring the feel of New York's East Side bars and grills to the city. The Embarcadero location at 155 Steuart Street opened in November 2008 and offers classic American dishes. The setting features exposed brick walls and views of the Bay Bridge. As I mentioned in my original review a few years ago, this location is conveniently situated near my workplace, making it an ideal option for lunch, after-work drinks with friends and colleagues, or special occasions like farewell parties for departing coworkers. On this occasion, we gathered to bid farewell to a retiring colleague. We were set up at a great spot in the corner on Steuart Street that accommodated about thirty of us. We enjoyed a beer or two along with some delicious small bites. The service was excellent, as it always is at Perry's, and we all had a wonderful time. If you're looking to catch a game, I recommend sitting at the bar. There are a couple of large TVs that provide a good viewing experience, and the bartenders are always attentive, ensuring great service. On nice days, you might prefer sitting outside on the Embarcadero side. Otherwise, the dining area has plenty of comfortable tables that can accommodate groups of two to four people, and larger groups can make reservations in advance. The food is consistently good and made with fresh ingredients. I have always enjoyed my lunches at the bar while watching live soccer matches on TV.

Been here a few times. Most recently had lunch here with my former boss & colleagues. We enjoyed some standard American fare, great conversation and glad for an opportunity to catch up here. The food itself is kinda mid but the location is good. Right near the water. Also easy access to BART for folks living in the East Bay. Service was decent. Located on Steuart between Mission & Howard.

We are a party of 4 for a quick dinner meet up in San Francisco. Great food with reasonable prices. I ordered the delicious daily special of blackened shrimp over a bed of risotto. The spaghetti and meat balls were a very generous serving. The meatballs were soft and lots of spices so very flavorful. It included a big slice of garlic bread. The 2 sandwiches were prepared properly and arrived hot. This is a very reasonable priced restaurant and located directly across the street from ferry terminal. It was a 5 minute walk if you have to catch the ferry back. We came here on a Tuesday night and not too crowded. I did note there is outdoor seating and this would be a great place to have breakfast on a sunny day in SF.

This place has been on my list for a while and I'm so happy I finally went! I entered through the back, so don't park on the Embarcadero if you want to enter through the front. The space reminds me of an old school diner and the staff were super friendly! We ordered a pastrami sandwich, salad, and the french onion soup which were all amazing, especially for the price. Don't skip out on the soup as it was probably the best I've had in the city.

The best French onion soup you are going to have in your entire life. Seriously. Go there. Get the soup. The burger is good too, rest of the food is very mediocre. But GET THE SOUP. This spot gets pretty rowdy during happy hour since it is surrounded by tech companies. Either way the service is always great at the bar.

Went for dinner outside in the forty degree temperatures at night over looking the Bay Bridge. The propane heaters kept us toasty warm. I loved the grilled artichoke and my half chicken entree came out as expected. I'd come back for another outdoor experience.

Perry's menu is pretty straightforward. There is something for everyone. I've had everything from the Cobb Salad to the Reuben sandwich, and everything has been great. They even make their own potato chips! Service was warm and hospitable. The view of the Bay Bridge is unparalleled. Ask for a table by the back windows or eat outside if the weather is nice. The full bar serves tasty drinks. Brunch is available too. We had the chocolate lava cake for dessert. Prices are reasonable--3 people $116.00. It's located in an inviting spot on Stuart Street. Boulevard and the Harbor Court are nearby.

Went on a Friday with coworkers for an early happy hour and they were able to accommodate our large table of 14 people after a couple minutes. The restaurant interior is like a rustic modern combo and there's a lot of cool perry's decor on the wall like picture frames, clocks, their merch. The staff was really efficient in getting all of our orders and also was constantly replenishing our table's water. My soup was 9 dollars so it is a medium level priced restaurant. Garden Party - One of their tequila based cocktails and it was delicious. The tequila was not overpowering at all and it reminded me of a lemon sour candy. Perry's Chili - It came in a nice sized mug and I loved that they put all the fresh ingredients: the red onions, green onions and cheese, on top so I could mix it in myself. The chili was really hearty, rich and comforting. Another appetizer we enjoyed at the table were onion strings. They were so thin, had a light batter and reminded us of shoestring fries. Would love to go back to try some of their entree dishes or for another happy hour.

This Perry's location is absolutely stunning, especially if you sit at the outdoor tables with a beautiful view of the Bay Bridge. However, it does get very cold, and the heated lamps may not be enough. Nonetheless, I still highly recommend dining outside for the beautiful scenery. I ordered the Potato Skins for an appetizer, and I absolutely enjoyed them. The potato skins were very flavorful, especially with the crispy bacon bits on top and the melted cheese that gave every bite a delectable taste. I also ordered the grilled salmon, which I thought was just okay. The salmon was seasoned well, however, I was somewhat dismayed by the accompanying sides. With every bite, I couldn't really discern the flavors, so I had to eat them with every salmon bite to get some flavor. My co-worker's dish was also a bit cold (not because of the outdoors). I forgot which dish it was, but as soon as it was brought out, it was already cold. The staff were very accommodating with our preferred seats, and despite being outdoors, they were attentive to our needs, such as refilling our water cups. While the dishes we ordered were not perfect (perhaps we chose the wrong ones), Perry's is still stunning, and I would go back to try other dishes.

This place was good, although I think the view was the best thing about it. I recommend sitting outside where you can get a great view of the bridge. The heat lamps could be stronger though, as they weren't giving enough heat. Overall, the view alone is worth it.

I enjoy a variety of dishes at Perry's. Sometimes I get the burger with avocado. Sometimes without. Sometimes with fries. Sometimes with sweet potato fries. Straying beyond those options - at least for lunch - seems both unnecessary and unwise. The rest of the menu feels pretty heavy. Pot roast. Fried chicken. Ribs. Oh my! Yes there are salads but that feels wrong at a place with - did I mention - pot roast, fried chicken and ribs. The interior seating is comfy (get a booth!) and the service is fine and un memorable. And oh, get the burger. It's solid.

We walked in for dinner and waited briefly at the reception for a hostess. The person who seated us wasn't particularly welcoming or rude, perhaps just tired. Our table was outside with a view of the Embarcadero, but it was very wobbly! The service was okay, and the food was good, though nothing extraordinary. I'm not sure if I would return, but if I did, it wouldn't be my first choice.

Perry's is a classic! I love coming here for a quick drink during lunch, or for happy hour with coworkers or a late dinner after all the craziness! Here are some of my favorites: calamari, corn bread, Philly cheesesteak. This time I thought I'd treat myself to a ribeye steak which included two sides. I got mashed potatoes and some Mac n cheese! The ribeye was cooked perfectly. You know I don't think I was the biggest fan of the Mac n cheese before but I really enjoyed it this time, a little bit heavy with all the cheese but still delicious. As always, can't wait to come back!

Perry's is a dependable good place for a typical American breakfast. Probably more of a 3.5 star because the service, ambiance and food are all a bit better than you'd expect for a place like this with the added bonus that it's never that packed in here. Usually it's a bit challenging to find a reasonable sit down breakfast place around the Moscone Center. The Grove looks fun but I've always found their food underwhelming. The food at Taste is generally good but the interior is cold and dated, and the prices are pretty high. If you end up at Mel's or Denny's you will hate yourself for weeks and question all of your other choices in life. Just about every option in walking distance has some caveat attached to it. Not Perry's. It's cozy, it's warm, mellow, and nice enough to just chill out in. I can get reasonably priced omelette and coffee, read up on some news, and relax. Usually free of tourists, kids, and bros.

Perry's is very middle of the road. Better than a TGI- Fridays, but not by much. The food is heavy, greasy, and often fried. Nothing offensive but nothing to write home about. Service and location were both great though! So easy lunch if you're eating with a picky eater.

Never had a bad meal here. Food is clean and simple. Staple items like chili, wedge salad, tenders and fries for kids are solid. They offer breakfast which way light and not greasy. I love the big booths, enclosed outdoor seating and good service. Plus the espresso drinks and full bar!

I loved being able to sit outdoors. I can definitely see why people enjoy coming. They have great pricing and decent food. I truly enjoyed the Caesar salad with chicken and also had some clam chowder. The clam chowder was average but still good. I would have liked a bit better communication when we were waiting for our table but other than that it was a lovely time. Our server was very efficient and nice. FYI you have to climb stairs if you need to use the restroom.

We stayed at the Harbor Court Hotel for a night and wanted somewhere super close and inexpensive to go to for dinner. When we looked over the menu, it was a bit underwhelming, but decided to try it anyway because it was so close. The food and drinks turned out to be great and our waiter, Beto, was awesome! My husband had the house burger and I had the reuben with sweet potato fries. The burger was perfectly seasoned and cooked, and my Reuben was really good (it looked way better than their menu picture). We were very pleasantly surprised and grateful to have stumbled upon this little place. 10/10 we will definitely visit again next time we go to San Francisco!

We stayed at the Hotel Griffon which is conjoined with Perry's and we ended up at Perry's every day! The drinks were good, the bartenders were nice and the food was amazing. The chicken wings were some of the best I've had. The sauce was tasty, the wings had a nice crisp to them, and the blue cheese wasn't overpowering. My fiancé got the club sandwich and loved it. We also loved the Mac and cheese and calamari. The portions are generous. Our whole group loved Perry's.

I finally tried lunch here after seeing it so many times on the Embarcadero. I chose indoor dining and we ordered Calamari, Cheesesteak, and Reuben Sandwich. Calamari was delish, my Cheesesteak with sweet potato fries was appetizing. I didn't taste my husband's Ruben but it did look tasty. Service was quick and friendly. Great place to have good American food.

My wife and I was visiting here for our anniversary. Stopped here to eat and it was definitely a bad experience. Hostess/waitress was rude and unprofessional. It started to get cool outside and when we asked for a table inside, she had an entire attitude about it When she brought the check, she literally dropped it on the table and kept walking. We found it funny how she smiled and interacted with customers of different race than us too. Because my wife and I are dieting, we told her we were sharing a plate of ribs. She still brought us two Separate orders. The food was not good. Didn't taste as though it was cooked thoroughly and the sauce was bland. It was a bad experience that put a temporary damper on our SF experience.

Had a blast here with my Yelp OCA crew (see review from Joyce W., OCA PHX and Jenna T., OCA Hercules, CA). We stopped in after dinner to pop some tops and make some memories. Perry's on the Embarcadero is the perfect place for a business lunch, to meet after work for drinks, enjoy dinner with friends and family, or dig into brunch on the weekends. Perry's on the Embarcadero is also conveniently located less than a mile from AT&T Park, making it a popular stop before and after Giants games. We ordered a few drinks to include the Paper Plane, double gin and tonic (that's all me) and margaritas on the rocks. All the drinks were crafted perfectly and brought out promptly. The service we received from the manager, Kenn, was outstanding. He was pleasant, courteous and even pulled up a chair at the table towards the end of the evening to sit with us and have a kiki. Stop on by and ask for Kenn, and tell him that his favorite late night Yelpers sent you!

Perry (the name) Fact: The name Perry means one who dwells by the pear tree; traveler, pilgrim. What does that have to do with the review? Not a dang thing! ;D But when the amazing East Bay OCA, Jenna T., asks you to go to Perry's for drinks, you go to Perry's for drinks! Perry's, for nearly 50 years an institution on Union Street in San Francisco, is known for its classic American food, its warm personable service and its bustling bar. This Perry's on Embarcadero is no different. We came for drinks and I had a Paper Plane as per Kenn's recommendation! Bourbon whiskey, Aperol, Amaro Nonino, and lemon juice? Yes please! AND CHEERS! Kenn stayed later and even pulled up a seat to have a beer with us. The others in our party had other various sips and treats and they all looked great. As for my Paper Plane, it truly gave me a pleasant trip!

Cozy Sports bar with elevated delicious food. I'd recommend getting a reservation. This is also located at the first floor of a hotel so there are two entrances.

Nice people, great booth seating, unfortunately shitty food. One person in our party ordered the special and it was inedible, she sent it back. Onion soup was mediocre, as opaque as chowder.

Solid restaurant on the Embarcadero near the Ferry Building with great ambience and views. I met a friend for lunch and we sat outdoors under a heat lamp, because Covid rates are going back up, and neither of us wanted to fall sick or make our families sick a week before Christmas. She ordered a Cobb salad, I ordered a bowl of chili. The food arrived quickly and we dug in - I demolished my chili and she seemed to enjoy her salad. I was still feeling hungry so I ordered a Reuben sandwich (my all time favorite) with Caesar salad. The salad was a excellent. I enjoyed it as much as the superb chili that preceded it. Alas, the Reuben sandwich was probably one of the worst I've ever had - stale, dry, flavorless - and solely responsible for the 3 star rating on this review. Prices are reasonable given the location, and they have lots of indoor seating along with a long elegant bar. There are clean restrooms a level below. Parking is aplenty on the streets nearby if you go mid-day. The BART is a brisk five minute walk. Will stop again by if I'm in the area and want an inexpensive meal in a beautiful setting. But I'll stay away from the Reuben.

Started off with appetizers I ordered buffalo wings, grilled artichokes and potato wedges. The wings were slippery and over sauced, had no crunch and were not very hot when they came out. The artichokes came out with burn black tips, flavor was not great. The potato wedges were tasy but incredibly oily. Moving on to the entree I ordered a New York steak medium rare with mash and broccolini. The steak arrived to my table with good color but upon cutting into it i could not find a spot of pink let alone the medium rare i ordered. Also had a big strip of gristle , not fat i know the difference. The broccolini was seasoned well but the long stalks were uncooked and stringy. Mashed potatoes were great, very fluffy buttery. Ordered the apple pie with vanilla ice cream for dessert. Ice cream was good and the pie was nice and hot and tasty although it seemed bit heavy on the cinnamon. Overall I left full of disappointment. They seemed to fail at some basic restaurant food quality standards. Would not recommend spending your hard earned money on an overpriced below mediocre restaurant.

Perry's is a great restaurant to come to for lunch or dinner if you're looking for well rounded good comfort food. The location on the Embarcadero is great especially when there's wonderful weather and the location union Street is also great but it bit smaller. I had the Mexican chicken salad, which was delicious and I added a side of sweet potato fries to make it a full meal. The salad itself isn't the hardest thing but again it's delicious.

I come to Perry's ever time I'm in SF and every time is great. I have to get the onion strings, pot roast, french onion soup, and apple betty a la mode. It's a must -- I recommend if you're eating alone, with friends, coworkers, or even kids. Nice homestyle meal and won't disappoint.

Average bar & grill with nice views of the Bay Bridge, but pretty pricy for the food you're actually getting. Food was very mediocre, appreciated the views. Went with my gf and a buddy of mine - We ordered: Drinks: - Aperol Spritz - Bench Pinot Noir - Water Entrees: - Chicken (B)LTA with the bacon on the side (my gf won't eat bacon but I always ask her to get it on the side so I can eat it!) - Pot Roast - Spaghetti and Meatballs Total for the 2 drinks and 3 entrees was $99 pre-tip. RATINGS: - Aperol Spritz: Great, classic Aperol Spritz. 10/10. - Bench Pinot Noir: Your average red, a bit on the bitter side. They gave a nice helping of wine though, which we appreciated. 7/10. -Chicken (no B) LTA: Decent, this one was probbly the best value of all the meals, getting a grilled chicken sandwich with lettuce, tomato and avocado (with a side of bacon) and fries for $16. Wish they toasted the buns though. 8.5/10 - Pot Roast: Meh, very mediocre. Kind of dry. 6/10 - Spaghetti and Meatballs: What you would expect, but fairly tasty. 7/10 TLDR: Nice view and mediocre food - probably what you're expecting walking in here though, so no complaints

Visiting from out of town and was looking for a place everybody could enjoy and this was it! My wife, who never orders red meat, had a filet mignon snd loved it! She added the creamed spinach and corn bread (with dried jalapeño) and raved about both. My spicy buffalo wings were fantastic and the loaded potato skins were super good with plenty of bacon and chives. Beer and wine were plentiful and my kids had 2 orders of pasta each. Only downsides were the prices were a bit steep and the 6% California "make-up" tax is insane when added on top of sales tax. Portions for kids meals could be greater, if your kid is a big eater you may want to go with an entree. Atmosphere is super cozy, especially for the winter with great views of the water

We were a group of eight multigenerational, multicultural people who gathered to celebrate my son's 30th Birthday. The staff and service were excellent. Very friendly and welcoming. The food was excellent also. The salad bowls, French onion soup, the half chicken, the ribs- everything delicious and satisfying. The warm chocolate cake and cheesecake completed the lovely evening for us.

Enjoyed and Avocado Burger at the bar with a nice red Spanish wine and watched some sports on the bar TVs. Good place for a lunch or dinner or to watch a game. It was busy, but found a table in a few minutes. Lively loud atmosphere as it's in a great location with a lot of foot traffic, so best to get a reservation for dinner. I got lucky. My coworker got a filet which I tried too and the steak was perfectly cooked and scrumptious. Great service and overall restaurant experience in San Francisco.

I recently spoke with a manager at Perry's and she let me know the disconnect some times with ordering online instead of calling it in. The food has always been amazing and I'm thankful they resolved my issue quickly.

I was really disappointed with this spot. It was beautiful inside. The view in the back is of the water which is beautiful. However the food was just not at the quality I expected. I got the fried.l chicken took one bite into hard flavorless food and literally left the chicken. I instead ate the mashed potatoes and a side of mac n cheese. We ordered a wide variety of food since we were all In the area for a conference. We were a group of 11. We were glad to get the reservation but the food overall was a huge disappointment. I It was plated beautifully but I'm not sure if the chef had an off night but the money didn't match the quality at all. I would not recommend this spot to anyone in town. There are plenty of other great places to try.
