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

Just found a hair in my steak and cream of spinach disgusting and I don't know how this place is 4.5 stars. The restaurant was empty. And we thought it was a good place. I am very disgusted 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

The food was delicious. The service was excellent. The atmosphere was on point. Would definitely 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

Perry's - Embarcadero - The burger with avocado and sweet potato fries. - American Near Me - San Francisco, California

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

We walked in for dinner and waited briefly at the reception for a hostess. The person who seated us wasn't particularly welcoming or rude, perhaps just tired. Our table was outside with a view of the Embarcadero, but it was very wobbly! The service was okay, and the food was good, though nothing extraordinary. I'm not sure if I would return, but if I did, it wouldn't be my first choice. read more

Came here with colleagues and was impressed by the menu - something for everyone and all quite good. Sadly I was busy chatting with coworkers so didn't get a chance to take photos of the food. I got a soup (tomato bisque) as appetizer and it was average size between a cup and a bowl and traditional and good. I also went for one of the salads (Magnolia) and it was nice size and great mix of toppings. The server was super friendly and came back often to check on us and to refill our drinks. They have a decent rotating of craft beer from local Bay Area breweries and a large wine list. Restaurant is casual yet nice and this location is near the water read more

Had a blast here with my Yelp OCA crew (see review from Joyce W., OCA PHX and Jenna T., OCA Hercules, CA). We stopped in after dinner to pop some tops and make some memories. Perry's on the Embarcadero is the perfect place for a business lunch, to meet after work for drinks, enjoy dinner with friends and family, or dig into brunch on the weekends. Perry's on the Embarcadero is also conveniently located less than a mile from AT&T Park, making it a popular stop before and after Giants games. We ordered a few drinks to include the Paper Plane, double gin and tonic (that's all me) and margaritas on the rocks. All the drinks were crafted perfectly and brought out promptly. The service we received from the manager, Kenn, was outstanding. He was pleasant, courteous and even pulled up a chair at the table towards the end of the evening to sit with us and have a kiki. Stop on by and ask for Kenn, and tell him that his favorite late night Yelpers sent you! read more

Perry (the name) Fact: The name Perry means one who dwells by the pear tree; traveler, pilgrim. What does that have to do with the review? Not a dang thing! ;D But when the amazing East Bay OCA, Jenna T., asks you to go to Perry's for drinks, you go to Perry's for drinks! Perry's, for nearly 50 years an institution on Union Street in San Francisco, is known for its classic American food, its warm personable service and its bustling bar. This Perry's on Embarcadero is no different. We came for drinks and I had a Paper Plane as per Kenn's recommendation! Bourbon whiskey, Aperol, Amaro Nonino, and lemon juice? Yes please! AND CHEERS! Kenn stayed later and even pulled up a seat to have a beer with us. The others in our party had other various sips and treats and they all looked great. As for my Paper Plane, it truly gave me a pleasant trip! read more

Perry's is a dependable good place for a typical American breakfast. Probably more of a 3.5 star because the service, ambiance and food are all a bit better than you'd expect for a place like this with the added bonus that it's never that packed in here. Usually it's a bit challenging to find a reasonable sit down breakfast place around the Moscone Center. The Grove looks fun but I've always found their food underwhelming. The food at Taste is generally good but the interior is cold and dated, and the prices are pretty high. If you end up at Mel's or Denny's you will hate yourself for weeks and question all of your other choices in life. Just about every option in walking distance has some caveat attached to it. Not Perry's. It's cozy, it's warm, mellow, and nice enough to just chill out in. I can get reasonably priced omelette and coffee, read up on some news, and relax. Usually free of tourists, kids, and bros. read more

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

Perry's is very middle of the road. Better than a TGI- Fridays, but not by much. The food is heavy, greasy, and often fried. Nothing offensive but nothing to write home about. Service and location were both great though! So easy lunch if you're eating with a picky eater. read more

I love Perry's. The staff is always super friendly, the food is delicious, and the atmosphere is relaxing. The location I visit the most is Steuart St but the other location is just as good. read more

Solid restaurant on the Embarcadero near the Ferry Building with great ambience and views. I met a friend for lunch and we sat outdoors under a heat lamp, because Covid rates are going back up, and neither of us wanted to fall sick or make our families sick a week before Christmas. She ordered a Cobb salad, I ordered a bowl of chili. The food arrived quickly and we dug in - I demolished my chili and she seemed to enjoy her salad. I was still feeling hungry so I ordered a Reuben sandwich (my all time favorite) with Caesar salad. The salad was a excellent. I enjoyed it as much as the superb chili that preceded it. Alas, the Reuben sandwich was probably one of the worst I've ever had - stale, dry, flavorless - and solely responsible for the 3 star rating on this review. Prices are reasonable given the location, and they have lots of indoor seating along with a long elegant bar. There are clean restrooms a level below. Parking is aplenty on the streets nearby if you go mid-day. The BART is a brisk five minute walk. Will stop again by if I'm in the area and want an inexpensive meal in a beautiful setting. But I'll stay away from the Reuben. 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

I finally tried lunch here after seeing it so many times on the Embarcadero. I chose indoor dining and we ordered Calamari, Cheesesteak, and Reuben Sandwich. Calamari was delish, my Cheesesteak with sweet potato fries was appetizing. I didn't taste my husband's Ruben but it did look tasty. Service was quick and friendly. Great place to have good American food. read more

I come to Perry's ever time I'm in SF and every time is great. I have to get the onion strings, pot roast, french onion soup, and apple betty a la mode. It's a must -- I recommend if you're eating alone, with friends, coworkers, or even kids. Nice homestyle meal and won't disappoint. read more

Average bar & grill with nice views of the Bay Bridge, but pretty pricy for the food you're actually getting. Food was very mediocre, appreciated the views. Went with my gf and a buddy of mine - We ordered: Drinks: - Aperol Spritz - Bench Pinot Noir - Water Entrees: - Chicken (B)LTA with the bacon on the side (my gf won't eat bacon but I always ask her to get it on the side so I can eat it!) - Pot Roast - Spaghetti and Meatballs Total for the 2 drinks and 3 entrees was $99 pre-tip. RATINGS: - Aperol Spritz: Great, classic Aperol Spritz. 10/10. - Bench Pinot Noir: Your average red, a bit on the bitter side. They gave a nice helping of wine though, which we appreciated. 7/10. -Chicken (no B) LTA: Decent, this one was probbly the best value of all the meals, getting a grilled chicken sandwich with lettuce, tomato and avocado (with a side of bacon) and fries for $16. Wish they toasted the buns though. 8.5/10 - Pot Roast: Meh, very mediocre. Kind of dry. 6/10 - Spaghetti and Meatballs: What you would expect, but fairly tasty. 7/10 TLDR: Nice view and mediocre food - probably what you're expecting walking in here though, so no complaints read more

$5 Burger Monday's are no more! That's a bummer, but understandable considering the "you know what" . I used to come here for that GREAT DEAL after an awesome swim. ‍ but it's still delicious as ever! I had the Chili, Perry's Cabernet Sauvignon which is the silver winner in 2022 and also the Perry's burger with everything except cheese.

I was really disappointed with this spot. It was beautiful inside. The view in the back is of the water which is beautiful. However the food was just not at the quality I expected. I got the fried.l chicken took one bite into hard flavorless food and literally left the chicken. I instead ate the mashed potatoes and a side of mac n cheese. We ordered a wide variety of food since we were all In the area for a conference. We were a group of 11. We were glad to get the reservation but the food overall was a huge disappointment. I It was plated beautifully but I'm not sure if the chef had an off night but the money didn't match the quality at all. I would not recommend this spot to anyone in town. There are plenty of other great places to try. read more

For a business lunch, first since the fricken pandamic breakout, it suited my team of 6 just fine. Located down and across the street from my favorite One Ferry Building, street parking was easy at 11am, and about $3.5 per hour. They have a lovely inside, but we ate outside on the patio with a view of the bay. Service is friendly and fun (actually, impossible not to be with our crew!), and the lunch menu is tantalizing. I think I got the worst item, spaghetti and meatballs [3.5 stars, $18], but the burger looked amazing, reuben looked scrumptous, and the 2 salads ordered looked incredible. Still, I ate it up and was happy. All in all. Perfect. read more

Enjoyed and Avocado Burger at the bar with a nice red Spanish wine and watched some sports on the bar TVs. Good place for a lunch or dinner or to watch a game. It was busy, but found a table in a few minutes. Lively loud atmosphere as it's in a great location with a lot of foot traffic, so best to get a reservation for dinner. I got lucky. My coworker got a filet which I tried too and the steak was perfectly cooked and scrumptious. Great service and overall restaurant experience in San Francisco. read more

I loved being able to sit outdoors. I can definitely see why people enjoy coming. They have great pricing and decent food. I truly enjoyed the Caesar salad with chicken and also had some clam chowder. The clam chowder was average but still good.

We had a late lunch there the other day and it was a perfect place for lunch and beers after a day walking around SF. Perry's deserves a higher rating but I have to leave some headroom for "haute cuisine" you know. My wife and I split a half chicken and it was the best chicken I have had in a long time. Moist, completely cooked, tender, flavorful, just perfect. It came with excellent mashed potatoes and broccoli rabe and we had fries as well. I ate the mashed and fries too. Our friends enjoyed what they had too, a hamburger, a salad and a chicken BLT. It's an excellent spot when exploring the area. We were deep in the bar but there views by the windows an outdoor tables too. read more

We stayed at the Hotel Griffon which is conjoined with Perry's and we ended up at Perry's every day! The drinks were good, the bartenders were nice and the food was amazing. The chicken wings were some of the best I've had. The sauce was tasty, the wings had a nice crisp to them, and the blue cheese wasn't overpowering. My fiancé got the club sandwich and loved it. We also loved the Mac and cheese and calamari. The portions are generous. Our whole group loved Perry's. read more

We stayed at the Harbor Court Hotel for a night and wanted somewhere super close and inexpensive to go to for dinner. When we looked over the menu, it was a bit underwhelming, but decided to try it anyway because it was so close. The food and drinks turned out to be great and our waiter, Beto, was awesome! My husband had the house burger and I had the reuben with sweet potato fries. The burger was perfectly seasoned and cooked, and my Reuben was really good (it looked way better than their menu picture). We were very pleasantly surprised and grateful to have stumbled upon this little place. 10/10 we will definitely visit again next time we go to San Francisco! read more

Homey comfort food. Warm and friendly service. Solid brunch spot on the Embarcadero. Perry's offers pretty straightforward brunch menu - scrambles, bennies, sandwiches, salads etc. Can't go wrong with a classic eggs Benedict for a lazy weekend morning. And the prices are good especially for the area. But the service is where Perry's really stands out - the friendliness and warmth feels earnest. It's no wonder they've held their own in this location for as long as they have. read more

Perry's is a great restaurant to come to for lunch or dinner if you're looking for well rounded good comfort food. The location on the Embarcadero is great especially when there's wonderful weather and the location union Street is also great but it bit smaller.

My wife and I was visiting here for our anniversary. Stopped here to eat and it was definitely a bad experience. Hostess/waitress was rude and unprofessional. It started to get cool outside and when we asked for a table inside, she had an entire attitude about it When she brought the check, she literally dropped it on the table and kept walking. We found it funny how she smiled and interacted with customers of different race than us too. Because my wife and I are dieting, we told her we were sharing a plate of ribs. She still brought us two Separate orders. The food was not good. Didn't taste as though it was cooked thoroughly and the sauce was bland. It was a bad experience that put a temporary damper on our SF experience. read more

Perry's is a restaurant, which is on site at the Hotel Griffon in the Embarcadero on San Francisco Bay. I am going to give this place five stars even though I never ate here. Actually, I was planning to do so, but never could make it. The staff was very friendly and courteous as I walked through the restaurant taking pictures. There were lots of smiles and invitations to dine. Got a very strong, healthy and positive vibe while walking through the restaurant. I also wanted to take pictures of the menu so that those who were planning to eat here can have a heads up before visiting the restaurant. I promise to update this review once I have had another chance to visit and savor their enticing dishes. read more
