EaterFebruary 12, 2013Yankee Pier claims to fly in its seafood twice daily. Lobster, crab, and chowder can be found on the menu, as well as the "All-at-Once Speedee Meal"—perfect for those rushing to a connecting flight.
Brian LinJanuary 9, 2013Very pleasantly surprised with this airport diner - great breakfast, attentive & friendly service, they make an early morning flight seem tolerable - indeed, desirable! Will definitely comeback.
Dale LarsonAugust 9, 20131) Maila is a spectacular waitress! 2) We go out of our way to schedule flights so we can have breakfast here (the Tillamook cheddar and chive omelette, with fresh dungeness crab if you prefer).
Jeremy AnslowJune 9, 2018Decent spot for some quick chowder while waiting for a flight. Local craft beer on draft too.
Stopped in for breakfast before my flight. Got the Greek Omelet--fluffy omelet, potatoes & toast. Potatoes were a bit plain but fine, rest was quite tasty. Service was excellent--quick tea refills!
Shrimp salad is great! Staff work really hard to get you in and out efficiently. My staple before flying for breakfast or a glass of bubbly.
For dinner, it is hard to not get the salmon. A large filet, a good mound of spinach and for hidden rice, with a hollandaise. Hot, fast, good.
Christopher BuckleyMarch 9, 2015This is the place to eat if you're on your way thru SFO: tasty menu complies with Monterey Aquarium Seafood Watch. Try the steelhead salmon salad with an Anchor Steam on tap.- Shri MalisettyOctober 27, 2022Priority pass perk. Grilled fish dinner is a bomb! Impossible burger is out of this world too.
- ElisaSeptember 29, 2018Priority pass now accepted, but they do have a period of time between breakfast and lunch (around 1030 to 11am) where they are closed and only serve items at the bar like clam chowder or drinks.
- Brian LinJanuary 9, 2013Served by Emilo & Maila this AM. As previous commenters pointed out, both were phenomenal: attentive service calibrated to the morning flyer. Wish some high end restaurants I've been had this. Kudos.
SteveHultSeptember 24, 2014Probably my best airport food experience to date, which isn't saying too much. Steak and Eggs was surprisingly really well cooked... Could've used more seasoning, but again, expectations were exceeded
Neil JohnstonMarch 10, 2012Far exceeded my airport restaurant expectations. Watched the chef from behind the bar and he was into it with intensity. And it showed, dinner was fantastic.
Santiago BlancoFebruary 18, 2017Love that they all ask you how much time you have until your flight. Courteous and on it!
ErikSeptember 19, 2012Great food, amazing for an airport. Got a nice blackened piece of fish with some killer spinach.
Tomomi ISeptember 15, 2019The restaurant is a part of the Priority Pass "Lounge", if you are card holders.
KellySeptember 10, 2021Priority Pass perk. The burger is good, and the shrimp and chips are delicious!- Be sure to let wait staff know your time frame. They'll get you in and out!
The Hair Thing of Tom’s RiverOctober 1, 2012The food here is quite worthy, especially for an airport restaurant. Prices we on the high side but it was worth it.
AngieNovember 15, 2011This might sound strange but the wheat toast is sooooo good. Nutty tasting deliciousness. And always friendly service here.
- If you are a Priority Pass member, you get $28 credit towards your meal here.
Grace BurnsAugust 5, 2013I've had to eat at many airports and this restaurant is actually edible and more satisfying than most. Definitely eat here if you had a choice and a delay. Which is likely...
CcCcCcCNovember 19, 2011Get to the airport early and have the Dungeness Crab Eggs Benedict for breakfast. Pricy but so good.
Jane KimMay 29, 2013Clam chowder is loaded with veggies and clam bits. Makes it worth the price. Consistency is more watery than I'm used to but doesn't mean it's bland. One negative - A bit too much pepper for my taste.
Wayne HallOctober 27, 2012Fantastic customer service. I was quite disappointed in the food when it arrived due to my expectations being off, as well as the limited options but the waitress handled the situation superbly.
Jan Vsqz🌸June 18, 2012Exceeded my airport food expectations. Excellent service, ask for Emilo, he's the best!!
Brian StraussJune 12, 2019Before people really demanded good food in airports, this was my “go to” at SFO. That statement doesn’t say much for this place any more. Over cooked eggs. Watery coffee — at least it’s hot.
Bowl of chowder and a n Anchor Steam draft make for a very nice start before an afternoon flight. ✈
Leif E. PedersenDecember 13, 2018This place has been here for ages. Not very good, but still be best around.
Jonathan TashimaJune 8, 2011Good fries. Good staff too, warned me how long the food would take when they were super busy.
- Nan HopkinzApril 22, 2012Bradley Ogden (Lark Creek) restaurant. The butterscotch pudding is excellent!!!
Ben ElgartJuly 15, 2013Tasty fish and chips. Tiny serving. Not a great value for their premium pricing.
