Reviews
Stopped at Wipeout Bar & Grill on Pier 39 with friends, and it was a fun, easygoing spot with great views and a lively vibe. We grabbed a round of beers, which came out cold and quick perfect for a sunny day on the pier. We ordered a few dishes to share, and everything hit the spot. The Wipeout Nachos were loaded and definitely the star of the table plenty of cheese, jalapeños, beans, guac, and sour cream, and big enough for a group. The Garlic Fries were crispy with a strong garlicky punch (in the best way), great for snacking with drinks. I also had the Baja Tacos, which were fresh and flavorful with a nice mix of crunch and spice. The Sizzling Shrimp Bowl was another standout hot, well-seasoned shrimp over rice with veggies, served sizzling just like the name suggests. Overall, solid drinks, generous portions, and great energy right in the middle of Pier 39. A fun spot for casual food, drinks, and hanging out by the waterfront. Would definitely come back!
Had a great time at Wipeout Bar & Grill at Pier 39. The food was delicious, the prices were reasonable, and the atmosphere was really fun. They played such cute, upbeat music that we couldn’t help but dance along. If you’re visiting Pier 39, I definitely recommend stopping by this place.
After a trip to Alcatraz we had a great look around Pier 39 and this place looked popular so stopped for lunch and didn’t disappoint! Food was reasonably priced and good quality! I had the fish and chips and my partner the meat lovers pizza. Both really good, service was ok but it was busy. Definitely recommend. If on a budget just go the the takeaway bit and prices a lot cheaper but then saw people then sit at tables to eat so probably a better option!!
This place was an awesome choice. Yes, it's touristy, but seriously....if it has good food, good service, and a cool atmosphere....who cares!!!! My wife ordered the coconut shrimp and I ordered the taco plate. The coconut shrimp may have looked overcooked...but guess again. The shrimp was perfectly cooked and was full of great coconut taste. The dipping sauce was so good, my wife needed a second. I ordered a mixture of tacos....fish, chicken, and a pork one (I forgot the name....ugh). The latter two were well seasoned and cooked well. Fully loaded with slaw and sauce. The fish taco....OMFG, was delicious. It was breaded pacific cod and was like butter. Moist and flaky, perfectly crusted, and tasted like it was freshly caught. The Maverick drink was so full of adult goodness, that a second should've been ordered. The blood orange beer hit the spot.
We came to eat at Wipeout when we were exploring the Pier during our visit to San Francisco. We came an hour before they were going to close but they still seated us. We were near the bar so my wife brothers can watch the basketball game. My wife got the clam chowder in the bread, her brother got the Wipeout Fried Combo and I got the Grilled Salmon bowl. Our food came out pretty quick and we all loved our dish. My wife enjoyed her clam chowder, her brother and mom liked the fries seafood in the Wipeout combo and I thought the salmon bowl was good. The customer service here was great, our waiter was attentive to us. The bathroom here is shared for men and women so that's something different.
