All over Fisherman's wharf. You have to rough it and eat outside but it's the entire experience that's interesting.
I fed some of the bread to the pidgeons after lunch.
Fabulous clam chowder and whole crabs at Fisherman's wharf. The clam chowder is served in sourdough bowls for about $5. Very tasty and inexpensive. The whole crabs are about $12 each. The chowder and crabs are the best deal in the area for lunch. Shrimp and crab cocktails can run you $13 for a medium sized portion.

The SF Chroncile also publishes its annual list of the 'TOP BARGAIN BITES' in the City.
Be sure to check out the year's Top SF Bargain Bites
Print their list out and you'll never go hungry in any neighborhood when you travel to this beautiful city!
Hard To Get To Places:
Saigon Sandwiches --Awarded the "Best Bargain In The City"-- 560 Larkin (at Eddy), 3-4 blocks up from Civic Center. Get the $2.25 roasted pork sandwich, made on a fresh crusty roll, filled with shaved carrots, cilantro, peppers, sauce, and mayo. (Ask for "no spicy" if you have a low tolerance for hot food.) There's a long line at times, but it moves fast because their menu of items is small! Sandwiches are heated, wrapped in paper and a thin rubber band. Standing room only. Your friends will ask you, "How did you find this great deal?"
Rosamunde Sausage Grill, 545 Haight (at Fillmore). Get the burger, available only once a week, on Tuesday from 11:30 a.m. "until the meat runs out". Take it next door to the Toronado pub & wash it down with a beer. Includes lettuce, tomato, mustard, ketchup, pickles, grilled onions, and cheese on a puffy bakery bun. Worth it!
Falooda at Bombay Ice Cream and Chaat, 552 Valencia (at 16th Street). Great shake with your choice of several homemade ice creams (e.g. saffron pistachio, cardamom, and mango!), layered with translucent chewy noodles, crunchy basil seeds, and fragrant rose syrup.
Tommy's Joynt, 1101 Geary (at Van Ness). Freshly roasted turkey on a sourdough roll. There are two kinds of mustard on each table, plus sliced pickles in a barrel at the end of the steam tables. Have it with one of the bar's 100 beers from around the world. Leave a Comment Theme: Local

Do take the time to explore the many herb shops and food markets. Both Chinese and Caucasians come to Chinatown to shop for everything from fresh meat, fish to handmade noodles to exotic herbs and spices, often at bargain prices.

In China Town you can try all kinds of Chinese dishes (from Kantonese to Czechuan-kitchen). Take a delicious Dim Sum lunch or eat your heart out on an exquisit dinner. For every budget there's a restaurant and this way you also enjoy the specific (choatic) life in China Town. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

In general I wasn't too impressed by the restuarants on Pier 39, but you can have a good lunch/snack by buying a chowder with sourdough bread from one of the stalls along the harbourfront. If the weather is on the cold side this is also a good meal for warming yourself up again. Leave a Comment Theme: LocalComparison: less expensive than average

Despite the name, there are no beaches now at North Beach. They have long since been buried by land fill but there are some great restaurants there now. You will find a little bit of everything in North Beach, from sidewalk cafés to fancy restaurants, from Italian delicatessens to French bakeries, and from jazz clubs to strip joints. North Beach's cafes, restaurants and parks evoke a feeling of romantic Italy. I was taken to a lovely little Italian restaurant when I was there, I just wish I could remember the name of it. I remember a woman at the next table staring at me for most of the night. It was probably my different accent, or maybe the large Koala on my sweater. Either way, it was a special night.

Any of the little resaturants in China Town!
You get a generous helping and it rarely costs over $5US. Very Yummy!
You can often get deals on several different items. Personally I like crispy duck and sweet and sour pork! Leave a Comment Theme: OtherAddress: All over China Town!

Is being able to buy the freshest seafood imaginable and taking it home and preparing the meal yourself.
This in a nutshell makes life worthwhile. Leave a Comment Theme: Other
