•  Sit at the bar and order the steamer special.

•  Of course the oysters. Clams and/or muscles w/extra bread to sop up the broth. Garlic bread is really good. Open-face crab and shrimp melt, and chowder made my tastebuds happy too.

•  Start off with one of the excellent seafood cocktails; we love the oyster shooters ($8.50 with soju, $3.50 without) and tasty combination ($14), which includes crab, shrimp and prawns.

•  Everyone should get an individual cup of clam chowder, the cioppino to share and extra garlic bread to line the belly.

•  Try the Clam Chowder - Yummmmm (via @Foodspotting)

  by Dana O.

  
  

•  The secret cioppino will make you lick your plates clean! Bring your own wine as they do not charge corkage fee! The wait is well worthwhile, but do not attempt with more than 4 people.

  by Norbert H.

  
  

•  Always get the cioppino, tons of shellfish and stew is not overladen with tomatoes! Go early or be prepared to wait, there are only 4 tables and a couple of counter spots.

  by Tiffany M.

  
  

•  Well worth the money. The staff is friendly and the restaurant is clean. Nothing you eat here will disappoint you. No matter what you order you've got to eat their clam chowder.

•  Get. The. Cioppino. Share it with everyone you know who wants to experience the best seafood medley stew in the history of america.

  by Sloane E.

  by Jacquie C.

•  Great little fish place

  by Davide C.

  
  

•  I should elaborate. Checked in on the board at 5:21 pm on a Saturday. It'll be over an hour before we're seated. It's 6:14 pm now and there's one party before us.

  by Bonnie C.

  
  

•  Wait time at least an hour. What we should've done was put our names down and went around the corner to Castro Wine for some wine tasting as we waited but, FYI,, they only seat full parties.

  by Bonnie C.

  
  

•  Wait is long so brave yourself. But the chef sends out clam chowder to calm those impatient souls :)

  by Kingsley L.

  
  

•  Try the Cioppino - Double order! You will regret your trip here if you don't try the Cioppino (via @Foodspotting)

  by Anton S.

  
  

•  Garlic bread + crab cakes. Get 'em.

  by David F.

  
  

•  Cozy little spot with amazing service. Best clam chowder on the west coast

  by Karla R.

  
  

•  Clam chowder to start is a must. Then order the cioponnio and the anchor special and you'll be in set. PS make sure you write the time next to your name on the board when you check in.

  by Patrick L.

  
  

•  Expect to wait at least an hour, but it is totally worth it. The Cioppino is always available even if it isn't listed. If no Dungeness is available, they call it Italian Fish Stew

  by Alec H.

  
  

•  The Anchor special is a must! The garlic white wine with thyme broth for the clams alone is worth the full cost.

  by Mike H.

  
  

•  If there is a long wait. It's well worth it. FYI- they serve you FREE clam chowder while you wait.
