After an hour wait for a table, we were looking forward to a terrific lunch. more on CitySearch

Sam's serves the best calamari I have had anywhere in the world. more on Yahoo! Travel

You can also tell these waitresses have had a few too many of Sam's Famous Burgers, wearing way too small shirts, with more than their mid drifts showing. more on Yahoo! Travel

Great people watching, amazing views and the pina colada was strong and tasty. more on CitySearch

The show lasted for two hours in which the wait staff was very attentive to requests from patrons and the comedians kept my attention for the entire time. more on Yahoo! Travel

Being able to sit outside, with a beautiful view across the bay and the skyline of S.F. in sight is pretty amazing itself. But Sam's actually has good food to offer as well. The Crab Cake Benedict was pretty small for the price, but ... more on Yahoo! Travel

I stumbled into Sam's on a Thursday night and discovered that they have a comedy show every Thursday night at 8 pm in the back dining room. The food was great, the service was excellent, and I laughed throughout the show.

Was pleasantly surprised here. Food was good. And the service was rad... very nice waitress who was very accommodating with our two little kids. Good place to come in out of the ... more on Yahoo! Travel

Sam's serves the best calamari I have had anywhere in the world. My wife and I, our friends from the East Bay, always go there on our annual visit. It is noisy, the seagulls are a constant menace, the service is spotty, it is a little ... more on Yahoo! Travel

Food is very overpriced for the small, overly greasy portions they supply. Drinks are good, and at the average price of $7 - $8. And although Sam's states that they have food varying in price from $0-10 dollars, most dishes, other ... more on Yahoo! Travel

Had a light lunch and drinks on a Sunday afternoon. The atmosphere was typical of most marina bound restaurants with outside seating, boats rocking gently in the water and overpriced everything. The v ... more on TripAdvisor

Overpriced! Terribly uninterested wait staff. Twice as many tables as there should be, all stuffed together. Yep, that sums it up. I'm sure glad we tried this for lunch as it would have been twice the ... more on TripAdvisor

I've been going to Sam's for over 30 years. On a nice sunny day you can't beat sitting on the deck with a view of SF across the bay. The prices are a little on the high side but you are paying for the ... more on TripAdvisor

We stoppeed for lunch here today because it was a glorious blue january and the patio looked so inviting. We put our name in and were directed to the bar side to wait. A mai tai ($11) and a bottled be ... more on TripAdvisor

Went here at noon on 12/27/2011. Fairly good crowd on a holiday week. Our party, 5 plus a toddler, were seated promptly. Not enough silverware, missing one place setting, asked for it and finally got ... more on TripAdvisor

The wait for an outdoor table was an hour, but no wait for a seat by the window. Great people watching, amazing views and the pina colada was strong and tasty. The burger was average, but the fries are to die for. Crab ... more on CitySearch

After an hour wait for a table, we were looking forward to a terrific lunch. The host sure didn't mirror our enthusiasm though as she threw our menus on the table, rolled her eyes and walked away. We enjoyed our overpriced, mediocre ... more on CitySearch
