We stopped in for lunch after seeing the Transamerica Pyramid and looking around the Ferry Building. Most places did not have much seating but Gott’s did both inside and out on the patio. We found a high table inside with bar stools to sit at with another group. My wife ordered the Mahi Mahi Tacos with grilled fish, spicy seasoning, corn tortillas and some nice fresh veggies. She loved it! Our son ordered the Ahi Burger which had some nice sushi grade fish with some wasabi mayo, slaw and cilantro which he devoured! I had the special of the day the Chicken Parm Sandwich which was very tasty and just what you need on a windy, Spring day! Some nice cheese pulls with the gooey Mozzarella! The Strawberry and Original Lemonades were refreshing, not too sweet with a good lemon flavour. Our son had the Vanilla shake which he really liked as it was not overly sweet like some shakes can be. We had a great meal and were able to recharge our batteries so we could continue on with the next part of our sightseeing. We’d eat here again!

Fun and bustling spot for a family walk-through. Lots of food options (burgers, pizza, ice cream, as well as novelties and other sweets). Worth a walk-through for the iconic ferry building and waterfront views.

The California chicken sandwich is as delicious as any other locations! The standardization is great within Gott’s Roadside. There are a lot of orders so it’s a bit of a wait. Otherwise it’s a great experience. They had NBA on while we were there on a Sunday.

We were super excited to try Gott’s burgers, but unfortunately, we were a bit disappointed. It took over 40–45 minutes to get our food, which really affected the experience. The burgers were decent, but nothing extraordinary, definitely not worth the long wait.

This place nails both the California chicken sandwich, and chicken tenders with fries. The California chicken was a total winner with juicy grilled chicken, and zesty sauce all stacked on a fresh bun. The chicken tenders were crispy perfection on the outside, and tender on the inside. The place is clean, and there is plenty of seating inside and outside. A bustling spot, with great energy!

This review is for Gott's Cookies & Milk section only. This is accessible through the inner walk-way of the Ferry Building. had the Chocolate Chip cookie and was pretty good. I wished they had a Double Chocolate chip .....

Great fresh burgers are made to order. There is a variety of options. I chose the good old cheeseburger, classic, and their garlic fries were delicious. I also ordered cheese fries rest to share. This place is very spacious and there's plenty of room. They also have seasonal items to order. In addition to cookies, which are tasty too. Nice burger joint for you and our kids.
