What People Are Saying About The Ramp
Featured Review

The Scene – A few dozen plastic tables with chairs crowd the ancient wooden deck of this erstwhile bait shop, which hugs the industrial edge of the bay. On sunny days, the Ramp is packed with casual city dwellers armed with stiff drinks, enjoying the view of the working waterfront. – – The Food – The something-for-everyone menu includes burgers, sandwiches and salads to omelettes and pancakes for weekend brunch. The real draws here are the setting and the full bar, especially the potent bloody marys and fresh-squeezed orange juice. Among entrees, many offerings, such…
Editor's Tips
- The Extras:
- On weekend afternoons, there's live salsa music, dancing and an outdoor barbecue.
- Know Before You Go:
- No reservations are accepted. Though enormously popular on sunny days, the tables are turned over at a furious pace. Get a drink from the bar and relax with the view.

The Ramp Rocks
by thatshowiroll at Citysearch
I love the Ramp....I've been coming here for years. Great staff...great food....and great atmosphere!! You get the service you deserve...just a note to the one star people who probably shouldn't be in public at any bar....much less reviewing....
- Pros: Great Food, Great Service, Great Staff

Is this really the Ramp?????
by girrl415 at Citysearch
Thursday evening we stopped for a quick drink on the way home from work and we couldn't believe our eyes! Not only was a Latin Trio playing (members of Los Compas), but they were serving ciopinno & osso bucco! We tried the crab cakes & onion soup first @ the bar. Then finally got a table, called the babysitter, and stuck around for entrees. We talked to the bartender & he let us in on the scoop. The Ramp just got a new chef who is making ALOT of changes(including Thurs. night dinner & music). I glanced over the lunch menu, wow! I think we'll keep an eye on the Ramp this summer, looks like there's ALOT more to come.

Good Bloody Marys
by sftom at Citysearch
It is a great place to go have a bloody mary on a Sunday morning, especially if it is warm and sunny out. The food is just average. The waitresses used to be really hot until they got rid of the blonde goddess punk rock hottie Lynn Perko.
It is a good place to get wasted in the sun with your friends on the weekend, but if you want great food, there are many other places in the city.
- Pros: bloody mary's
- Cons: marginal food

Best Lunch I've had lately
by diann1 at Citysearch
I and a friend stopped in for lunch last week after hearing about it from a coworker who had gotten a great breakfast there over the weekend. I had linguini with a pink sauce that beat any Italian food I've had ever. Today I went back and had a geat Heirloom Tomato salad. It is a pleasure to sit and unwind in this setting and savor a delicious lunch. The staff is friendly and considerate. I can't always get out for lunch so when I do I want it to be enjoyable. I'm looking forward to the next time.

The Ramp Does What It Sets Out to Do
by carmatax at Citysearch
This is a friendly outdoor dining restaurant. I take clients and friend here regularly. I have been reading some of the reviews and do not understand the negativity. The atmosphere is casual but the service is always welcoming and accomodating. For instance, I often ask my order to be different than what appears on the menu because of dietary restrictions and The Ramp staff always serve me what I ask for including how I like my steak well done.
Recently, The Ramp has hired a new chef who continues to serve the fresh, classic, unpretenious American fare people have come to expect at the restaurant. However, he's also bringing some creativity to the kitchen with interesting daily lunch specials.
The Ramp is a San Francisco institution that attracts a real cross section of San Franciscans. It doesn't try to be trendy or on the cutting edge. It's just comfortable and fun that's what brings me and a lot of others back again and again.
- Pros: Comfortable, consistency, good service
- Cons: Need upgraded bathrooms
