- Cristina MilladoAugust 10, 2014Fresh seafood. So good. This place is a must try if you're in the Halfmoon Bay Area.
- Claude HarrisonSeptember 16, 2013Raw bar medley is a great (tasty and worth the $13 price) appetizer. Everything is fresh.
- Cindy MolchanyNovember 11, 2010Grab a drink from the bar and hit the north patio. There you will find lounge chairs and fire pits. No service - but the best spot in the joint for sure
- Ryan PaulApril 22, 2017Oyster Selection is excellent. Skip the lobster roll, get the grilled anything instead.
- Caroline On CrackJune 1, 2013They have vegetarian options! You can order any of the fish dishes without the fish but the tasty sides for $8.
- Eric SabbanApril 8, 2017No nonsense or anything special about this place other than it's on the beach and next door to the hotel I staycation at.
- Nikolay DobrovolskiyJune 9, 2012Lobster and seafood seviche are both perfect. King salmon and halibut are local and fresh.
- reece pachecoNovember 14, 2012solid lobster roll with lots of claw meat and def "New England style," but just not quite as good. epic view though.
- Emily ThomasDecember 3, 2011The lobster rolls and key lime pie are amazing, but the bet part about Sam's is the live music and patio view!
- Mike CostelloMay 11, 20121/4 mile NORTH check out new local favorite "Flavor", solid new American, good beer & wine selection!
- Mike RomanoJune 23, 2013I come from New England and this clam chowder is legit. Legitimately delicious that is.
- Andrew MorganSeptember 29, 2013Great swordfish with green beans, tomato & broccoli. Sit outside for ocean views.
- Touristy. Although they have excellent oysters and an amazing manhattan chowder.
- Danny EnglanderAugust 17, 2014Lots of lobster on the lobster roll, much more then you'd get anywhere else
- Caroline DengJune 27, 2016Its lobster roll was apparently named one of America's best sandwiches, but I felt that it didn't live up to the hype and the hour-long wait that we had to endure.
- Pitawan ToomDecember 8, 2013Sit outside where they have heaters, perfect place to watch the sun goes down in half moon bay
- Gianna NebbiaOctober 2, 2018But but tasteless lobster roll. New England clam was lame too. However delicious bloodies and shrimp cocktail
- Danielle FMarch 14, 2015The food was pretty bad, service wasn't fantastic and everything was expensive. Bloody Mary's were decent? Worth getting a cocktail and sitting to admire the views. Other than that, it's all hype.
- In huge menu no vegetarian dishes besides veggie Burger and couple of salads!
- SarahNovember 10, 2012NE clam chowder, key lime pie, and the sea salt olive oil soft serve are all musts!
- CarlosDecember 14, 2016Lobster roll was OK but nothing special.Chocolate cake dessert was very good. Sorbets were good too
- Paige SchlenkerJuly 18, 2012It was the best ice cream I ever hade try the the vanilla sea salt ice cream so tasty
- Wilson Favre-DelerueApril 25, 2017Heavy, greasy, passable food. But a fabulous ocean view to (somewhat) make up for it.
- Dean SouzaFebruary 17, 2013Pretty good. Worth another visit... Have to come back and try key lime pie.
- Pass on the paella unless smoked paprika's your favorite spice, it's pretty one-note. Cioppino's where it's at -- outshines every SF offering of the same dish I've ever had!
- SURFACESUPPLIEDNovember 26, 2011A local favorite of the team, head outside and enjoy the view of beautiful Princeton Harbor.
- Charlie IronsMarch 29, 2013I spent four days in San Francisco, but I think my favorite meal was here. Excellent place to eat.
- Jessica ValenzuelaApril 14, 2012The girl who clears the table is not too pleasant. The view, sun and bloody Mary makes up for her inadequacies.
