Chowder Hut Fresh Grill: Delightful Seafood and Sandwiches in San Francisco

We stopped by here for lunch after walking around the wharf. Other places had lines while this one had many people sitting down eating but no big line. I ordered the crab & corn chowder in a bread bowl and drink while my son ordered a California Smash Burger with Avocado and a drink. Both were ready pretty quickly. The chowder was spicy with great crab and corn flavour! The bread from Boudin was great with the chowder and I devoured it! The only way to have chowder from reviewing restaurant menus throughout the city. Our son loved the Smash burger! The avocado and guacamole was creamy, the applewood smoked bacon and havarti were delicious and went nicely with the big 1/2 lb beef patty. It was a delicious mess! The food and service were great and lunch was ready quickly! We’d eat here again!

Wow!!! This place has the best clam chowder ever! It's served piping hot and it was so good on a cold and rainy day. Served in a sourdough loaf bread bowl. The fish and chips were really good too. We had a fantastic lunch!!!

the food was delicious! we had the clam chowder and fish&chips. the clam chowder was really good. the fish was a little flavorless.

Great location at the heart of fisherman's wharf. There is 360° seating inside and out. You can sit down to order or go to the to go window. There is a bar with the football game on (Saturday college football) They have a handful of beers on tap. We shared the crab chowder in the sourdough bread bowl. So good and the top was cut off and left to the side to dip into the chowder.

Axel and Caesar were on their “A” game today - San Fran was showing its chilly side and people were eating inside, they were busy and didn’t miss a beat. The calm chowder along with the crab chowder - amazing ….great recommendations.

Good place to grab a quick bite while visiting Fisherman's Wharf! The crab chowder was amazing! Big serving, good temperature, and they used Boudin bread for the bowl!! The garlic Fries was another favorite. Very savory and you can taste the garlic. We also ordered fish tacos, burger, and crab sandwich, good but nothing memorable. Service was quick, good outdoor seating as well. If you want to sit and have a view of the water while eating, they also have a sit down restaurant at the back of the hut with a more extensive menu

This chowder spot sits among several similar restaurants, but it stands out. We were offered samples of the clam chowder, crab chowder, and chili—and ended up loving all three. The staff was friendly and welcoming. We chose to sit outside, which meant ordering and picking up at the window, but that was perfect for people-watching. The food was delicious and well worth the stop.

The clam chowder was delicious and it was great in the Boudin bread. However, the grilled fish tacos were not good at all…it was 17$ for two tacos which is already outrageous in itself and it tasted so plain. There was barely any seasoning and it was more lettuce and tortilla than anything. If you go skip the fish tacos. We went early and there was no one there and it was super quiet and so we enjoyed that.
