I was in SF on a short trip. I thought I would give this place a try. I give the food 5 out of 5. I ordered the pot roast with mashed and brocolli w/ carrots. And the cornbread was sweet and tasty. I would have given 5 stars but service was really slow. I took over 25 minutes to have someone bring me water and take my order. Once the order was taken my food came out pretty fast but it just took so long for someone to take my order. I thought they forgot about me. I will be dining there again on future trips, because I really liked my meal. The ambiance of the place was also pleasant. read more

Went for brunch last Sunday with my family and a friend of us! Nothing really stood out, but it's a nice place close to Embarcadero for taking a walk after the brunch! It's also good they have a kids menu. read more

Beautiful views, great service and good drinks. It's a more affordable place to dine around the area and the outside seating section faces the bridge. Definitely give it a try. read more

Perry's - Embarcadero - American Near Me - San Francisco, California

After a carby lunch in Union Square and a 10k step walk around the area, a college buddy and I decided to grab....more carbs at Perry's. This time around it would be beers. The Dodgers were in town and the joint was filled with a few fans. My animosity toward the team from SoCal has waned over the decades. Yet, I still wanted to yell at fans, "Take off that hat!!!!". Just kidding. On the upside it was a classy joint and the service was good. Plus, the beers were cold. What more could a couple of old, ugly guys ask for. A tip of the cap to our server who quickly cleaned up a spilled beer when my buddy accident knocked over his half-filled pint glass. Add bonus, the server refilled the glass free-of-charge. Was that heaven or what? I think I found a new watering hole in the City. Perry's made us merry. Now for the pic. read more

Perry's was a nice respite by the embarcadero, but there's not much else around, and their prices reflect that. Simply, it underwhelmed. I got a Manhattan, and a cheese quesadilla, while The Wife had the Mac and cheese and grilled artichoke. All of it tasted fine. But for the money, we could have had something more substantial and enjoyable somewhere else, and should have looked around a bit more. It's a heck of a setting though. read more

Perry's on the Embarcadero is a waterfront extension of the original Perry's, which opened in 1969 on Union Street in San Francisco. Founded by Perry Butler, it aimed to bring the feel of New York's East Side bars and grills to the city. The Embarcadero location at 155 Steuart Street opened in November 2008 and offers classic American dishes. The setting features exposed brick walls and views of the Bay Bridge. As I mentioned in my original review a few years ago, this location is conveniently situated near my workplace, making it an ideal option for lunch, after-work drinks with friends and colleagues, or special occasions like farewell parties for departing coworkers. On this occasion, we gathered to bid farewell to a retiring colleague. We were set up at a great spot in the corner on Steuart Street that accommodated about thirty of us. We enjoyed a beer or two along with some delicious small bites. The service was excellent, as it always is at Perry's, and we all had a wonderful time. If you're looking to catch a game, I recommend sitting at the bar. There are a couple of large TVs that provide a good viewing experience, and the bartenders are always attentive, ensuring great service. On nice days, you might prefer sitting outside on the Embarcadero side. Otherwise, the dining area has plenty of comfortable tables that can accommodate groups of two to four people, and larger groups can make reservations in advance. The food is consistently good and made with fresh ingredients. I have always enjoyed my lunches at the bar while watching live soccer matches on TV. read more

Been here a few times. Most recently had lunch here with my former boss & colleagues. We enjoyed some standard American fare, great conversation and glad for an opportunity to catch up here. The food itself is kinda mid but the location is good. Right near the water. Also easy access to BART for folks living in the East Bay. Service was decent. Located on Steuart between Mission & Howard. read more

The worst experience ever. We were at the bar having our beer and sliders trying to rebook a flight because we had just missed our flight and Sean at the bar told my boyfriend to turn off his phone. WTH?!?! That's a first the place was loud Sean was upset because the Knicks had just lost. What type of customer service is that? He said the phone was too loud but the televised game wasn't too loud? His shouting at the tv wasn't loud?? Horrible experience. If I could rate a zero star I would. I've never been asked to turn off my phone. read more

Sean was the absolute best! Sean was incredibly attentive and made our night! His drinks were perfect and perfectly executed!

First time visiting. Lucky we found parting on the street. Made reservations but wasn't full. After we ordered our food it started getting packed. Service was great! Old fashioned was ok. Potato skins were great. Food was good. Our food took awhile it came out nice and hot. Restaurant was very nice. Spacious and nice bar. Warning bathroom is downstairs and I didn't see an elevator in case stairs are your enemy like me. I had to go down slowly. Check it out. Views are beautiful. read more

I made reservations a couple months back for our first dinner in SF. Although it's a casual place, based on my research, it seemed like a popular neighborhood and tourist spot and I knew after driving up from OC we didn't want to wait to eat on a busy Friday evening. Upon arrival, it didn't seem too crowded. Busy but there were still plenty of open tables and spots at the bar. I initially requested patio seating but my husband and son didn't want to be outside as it was slightly balmy. We were seated close to the windows instead to enjoy the view of the Bay Bridge. We ordered the following: - French Onion Soup: very good. Nice and cheesy, could use maybe some more bread underneath but it was solid. - Buffalo Wings: these come sauced and were really tasty! Still had a nice crunch and bite to it even though they were very saucy. - Fish & Chips: great batter on the fish, which was very meaty and flaky. Standard fries, forgettable coleslaw (does anyone even eat the coleslaw?) - Chicken BLTA: husband said this was fine. Tastes as expected! - Kids' Chicken Tenders: not sure if these are the same tenders on the regular menu but my son ate it all up and had no complaints. - Apple Brown Betty: this was a cinnamon apple crumble pie w/ vanilla ice cream on top. Very rich and delicious! - Strawberry Cake: this was literally the same cake you can get at Ralph's/Safeway, etc. They must all get it from the same supplier! Still good but def not made in-house. Total for dinner (including 3 glasses of wine, a Shirley Temple, a coffee, and tax/tip) was $205. Service was very good. Our server came by often enough and was always pleasant. Note - we entered the restaurant through the Hotel Griffon on Steuart Street. I think there might be an entrance on the Embarcadero side, too. read more

We are a party of 4 for a quick dinner meet up in San Francisco. Great food with reasonable prices. I ordered the delicious daily special of blackened shrimp over a bed of risotto. The spaghetti and meat balls were a very generous serving. The meatballs were soft and lots of spices so very flavorful. It included a big slice of garlic bread. The 2 sandwiches were prepared properly and arrived hot. This is a very reasonable priced restaurant and located directly across the street from ferry terminal. It was a 5 minute walk if you have to catch the ferry back. We came here on a Tuesday night and not too crowded. I did note there is outdoor seating and this would be a great place to have breakfast on a sunny day in SF. read more

Came to Perry's in a large around for happy hour around 4:30ish and I thought the experience was a little lacking. We came on a Wednesday, the place was pretty empty, our group opted out to outside seating. We ordered some drinks with appetizers and the drinks took a while to come, our group ordered a range of beer, cans and bottle beverages. Our appetizers also took it's sweet time, and it came out in waves. If we came during busy time, I understand, it would take time, but it was nearly empty inside and there was 2 groups in their outdoor seating area. We ordered some onion rings, calamari, loaded potatoes and some artichoke dip. I did not try the artichoke, but the onion rings was really oily for me, calamari needed ALOT of sauce, and the loaded potatoes was my favorite item. We opted out of staying for dinner at 6pm and took the party to next door instead. Overall, ok experience for the location and quality of service. It works, but it did not impress me. read more

This place has been on my list for a while and I'm so happy I finally went! I entered through the back, so don't park on the Embarcadero if you want to enter through the front. The space reminds me of an old school diner and the staff were super friendly! We ordered a pastrami sandwich, salad, and the french onion soup which were all amazing, especially for the price. Don't skip out on the soup as it was probably the best I've had in the city. read more

I had Sunday brunch here with a friend. The atmosphere is very pleasant, and, unlike so many restaurants, the noise level was low enough to have a conversation with my friend. The clam chowder was good, but a bit too salty. The steak and cheese "sando" was not good. It had lots of bread, but only small amount of steak (maybe two ounces) that was overcooked and flavorless. My friend had a reuben sandwich. He said It had plenty of pastrami, but it tasted like cardboard. After he flagged down a server, he got some Dijon mustard, which made the sandwich edible. If I return, I'll try one of the egg dishes for brunch. read more

Capital B-A-D. It's been a very slow and steady decline for years but the last meal is the nail in the coffin. Not sure what you could have done to mess up the world's best chicken sandwich, but the careless preparation was very disappointing. read more

Perry's menu is pretty straightforward. There is something for everyone. I've had everything from the Cobb Salad to the Reuben sandwich, and everything has been great. They even make their own potato chips! Service was warm and hospitable. The view of the Bay Bridge is unparalleled. Ask for a table by the back windows or eat outside if the weather is nice. The full bar serves tasty drinks. Brunch is available too. We had the chocolate lava cake for dessert. Prices are reasonable--3 people $116.00. It's located in an inviting spot on Stuart Street. Boulevard and the Harbor Court are nearby. read more

Went on a Friday with coworkers for an early happy hour and they were able to accommodate our large table of 14 people after a couple minutes. The restaurant interior is like a rustic modern combo and there's a lot of cool perry's decor on the wall like picture frames, clocks, their merch. The staff was really efficient in getting all of our orders and also was constantly replenishing our table's water. My soup was 9 dollars so it is a medium level priced restaurant. Garden Party - One of their tequila based cocktails and it was delicious. The tequila was not overpowering at all and it reminded me of a lemon sour candy. Perry's Chili - It came in a nice sized mug and I loved that they put all the fresh ingredients: the red onions, green onions and cheese, on top so I could mix it in myself. The chili was really hearty, rich and comforting. Another appetizer we enjoyed at the table were onion strings. They were so thin, had a light batter and reminded us of shoestring fries. Would love to go back to try some of their entree dishes or for another happy hour. read more

This Perry's location is absolutely stunning, especially if you sit at the outdoor tables with a beautiful view of the Bay Bridge. However, it does get very cold, and the heated lamps may not be enough. Nonetheless, I still highly recommend dining outside for the beautiful scenery. I ordered the Potato Skins for an appetizer, and I absolutely enjoyed them. The potato skins were very flavorful, especially with the crispy bacon bits on top and the melted cheese that gave every bite a delectable taste. I also ordered the grilled salmon, which I thought was just okay. The salmon was seasoned well, however, I was somewhat dismayed by the accompanying sides. With every bite, I couldn't really discern the flavors, so I had to eat them with every salmon bite to get some flavor. My co-worker's dish was also a bit cold (not because of the outdoors). I forgot which dish it was, but as soon as it was brought out, it was already cold. The staff were very accommodating with our preferred seats, and despite being outdoors, they were attentive to our needs, such as refilling our water cups. While the dishes we ordered were not perfect (perhaps we chose the wrong ones), Perry's is still stunning, and I would go back to try other dishes. read more

I am a regular customer of this restaurant because it is only a 1 minute walk from our building. Unfortunately, in the past few months, the quality of the food has deteriorated significantly, as well as a number of inexperienced waiters, not even one of whom can speak English, which has made me remove it from my list of favorite restaurants. Today, my wife and I went to this restaurant for lunch and we were disappointed in every way. The hamburgers are of poor quality and bad. I am sorry, but I have to give the lowest possible score. read more

Perry's is a classic! I love coming here for a quick drink during lunch, or for happy hour with coworkers or a late dinner after all the craziness! Here are some of my favorites: calamari, corn bread, Philly cheesesteak. This time I thought I'd treat myself to a ribeye steak which included two sides. I got mashed potatoes and some Mac n cheese! The ribeye was cooked perfectly. You know I don't think I was the biggest fan of the Mac n cheese before but I really enjoyed it this time, a little bit heavy with all the cheese but still delicious. As always, can't wait to come back! read more

This place was good, although I think the view was the best thing about it. I recommend sitting outside where you can get a great view of the bridge. The heat lamps could be stronger though, as they weren't giving enough heat. Overall, the view alone is worth it. read more

I enjoy a variety of dishes at Perry's. Sometimes I get the burger with avocado. Sometimes without. Sometimes with fries. Sometimes with sweet potato fries. Straying beyond those options - at least for lunch - seems both unnecessary and unwise. The rest of the menu feels pretty heavy. Pot roast. Fried chicken. Ribs. Oh my! Yes there are salads but that feels wrong at a place with - did I mention - pot roast, fried chicken and ribs. The interior seating is comfy (get a booth!) and the service is fine and un memorable. And oh, get the burger. It's solid. read more

First time here for a Saturday brunch for a small work reunion. Loved the close location from Bart and the gorgeous view of the bridge. If it was warmer, definitely sitting outside would be a great treat. But it's January so we selected a table inside. I was excited brunch was available. Service was attentive. Dishes were cleared as soon as we were done, but we were not rushed and we enjoyed the time to just sit, relax and catchup. I ordered the egg white omelet with cheese, mushroom and spinach. The dish also included toast and fruit cup. I was disappointed that the omelet portion was small plus it was only luke warm. Toast was ok, but no jam or butter was offered. As I remembered, the price was very reasonable at $16.99.I would be back since the service is good, interior is nice, location great ....but not sure I would order brunch again ...maybe the sandwiches next time. read more

The food, service and ambience were great. Everything was delicious. I will go again.

The location was very nice, given that it's close to the piers. The interior design was also very ambient. However, the service was extremely delayed and the food was below average. It was disappointing because there are definitely better spots for the same price anywhere else. read more
