The Best Clam Chowder Ever!

by charcuterie at Citysearch

I have to say since moving to the bay area I've been on a search for some good clam chowder and I finally found it here at Yankee Pier. Finally a clam chowder with clams in it! and the herb biscuit they set on top of the chowder is superb. I've been a few times, weekends and weeknights and everytime without a reservation and I have had no problem getting a seat. The service is good, the restaurant clean and comfortable and again, that clam chowder is to die for! But that's not the only thing on the menu worth trying, their fish and chips are light and crispy, their ceasar salad perfectly dressed and their pasta with clams enough for two. Don't miss the opportunity to enjoy their desserts either, the butterscotch pudding took me back to childhood and the lemon meringue pie could easily satisfy anyones sweet tooth.

• Pros: Good Parking, Indoor/Outdoor Seatin, Large Menu

i've had better

the food here is nothing special at all. my crab louie was gross, and my boyfriend's burger was dry and flavorless. a burger is one of the easiest things in the world to make--how can a restaurant mess it up? the only thing i liked was their dessert. if you want seafood or fish and chips, there are much better options in the area like scoma's....

• Pros: dessert, atmosphere
• Cons: food

lobster rolls, whole belly fried clams, buttermilk buscuits, root beer floats, steamers (clams) and strawberry shortcake

brings me right back to summer on the Cape

prices are shocking (8 clams for $17 - how badly do you want a fried clam? )
