About This Spot

Upscale burgers, shakes, and classic American food right on the Embarcadero at the Ferry Building. Order at the counter, eat outside with views of the Bay Bridge. Kid-friendly menu with smaller portions. The Ahi tuna burger is the sleeper hit for parents.

Parent Tips

💡

Outdoor seating is first-come. The shake line is separate from the food line — divide and conquer. Combine with a Ferry Building explore and sea lion watching at Pier 39.
