Sam's Chowder House Half Moon Bay Reviews
Incredible experience! My team mate found this place while
Incredible experience! My team mate found this place while we were visiting Redwood Shores for work. Five of us jumped into our rental and drove to half moon bay after work and got there at dusk. We got a table on the deck facing the bay and watched
Had a lovely business lunch overlooking the water at Sam's.
Mary and her team were super accommodating (we had a few extras show up) and went above and beyond to deliver great service to our team. The table was beautiful, the service was quick and attentive, and the food was yummy! Can't wait to come b
Best in the Bay
We were lucky to get a spot in the parking lot, a very popular place, one of our better dinners along the coast. The Cioppino was the best that I’ve eaten so far.
Great bartenders, service and ambiance dining with a great
Great bartenders, service and ambiance dining with a great ocean view location. A local classic for good reason and always worth the stop...
I thought this place was really good.
The bartender was friendly and personable. The food was good. I liked the fish and chips but there was more chips than fish. The Chowder was good too. Nice scenery as well. I would highly recommend stopping by. Next time I want to try the lobster ro

When coming back to hang out at Half Moon Bay earlier in the year, we wanted to try the other really popular fish shop since we had tried and loved Barbara's Fishtrap. The first thing we noticed is the amazing view of the ocean this restaurant h

We decided to have an early dinner on Saturday after enduring unbelievable traffic to HMB. It was interesting since the festival isn't until the 18-19th. We have been to Sam's a number of times and this was one of the best. We had the pe
The food was ok.
Way too expensive for the portion size. It was drizzling and they didn't give us an umbrella or have the heater on outside. Not a great experience. We've dined here before and it was fine then but yesterday was just disastrous. I should
Long wait very mediocre food and service.
Band too loud and not necessary. The stats are for the view only. This place survives because of location only. Don't have high expectations coming here.
I LOVE THIS PLACE!!! The food, the service, the views all
I LOVE THIS PLACE!!! The food, the service, the views all amazing! Teresa our server is simply FANTASTIC!!! She went out of her way to make our night unforgettable!
Upcharging sucks
Food was okay. But the server recommended the lemonade “special”. We said thank you. The bill came and the lemonade was $7.00 per glass (no refills). Up charging is inappropriate!!
Family lunch
The place is on a beautiful spot with wide view of the sea we had Lobster rolls which were very filling but on a drier side The Shrimp Pasta was very flavorful and quite enjoyable The whole lobster was amazing and sides accompanying the fish very
Rush rush hurry burry eat up!
There were 6 of us for lunch, all the food we ordered came at the same time; oysters, appetizers and mains. We were seated at the patio, the table was not big enough for all the food. The service staff did not offer a solution but just told us off th
Iconic restaurant that lived up to its accolades
Iconic seafood house in the coast of California in Half Moon Bay. Service was fantastic even though it was a very busy lunchtime rush. Food was fresh and well prepared. Will return when back on the California coast
Better Lobster Roll than in New England
My friend takes all of her guests to Sam's along with a walk down to the harbor for fresh seafood. As we entered Sam's, I noticed patrons eating what looked like delicious lobster rolls. I lived in Connecticut/New England for about 15 years
Great Seafoods Restaurant in Half Moon Bay
The foods at Sam’s Chowder House were outstanding! We had clam chowder, crab cake, lobster roll, and cheese cake! Everything was absolutely delicious! The service we got was first class! I would highly recommend this place!!!
Wonderful experience
Sam's is one of the best restaurants I've been to. The food was outstanding, the service was great. We had oysters, calamari, lobster roll,and chapino. Every item was delicious and worth the price. It was a wonderful experience. We will be
Crowded, noisy and lots of fun!
Crowded, noisy and lots of fun! Right on the water, although we sat inside at the bar. It was perfect! Grilled octopus (perfectly done, Scallops with lots of flavor and sauteed spinach that was divine! Michael, the bartender was a treat!
but the VIEW!
Good food, great location! Clam chowder, lobster roll (po boy), gumbo, seafood pasta, etc. There are non-fish options also. Indoor or outdoor seating available. This restaurant is right on the beach. See pics for the view! ((forgot to get food pic
Great Find!
We were on a road trip driving along the coast and saw a crowd at Sam’s Chowder House. We turned around and took a chance, and we were glad we did. There is a reason it is called the chowder house- the clam chowder was excellent. The desserts we
We love their New England Clam Chowdah!
We dropped in for a late lunch today on a whim to get out of the city on a rainy Monday and take a drive down the coast. We started with a big bowl of clam chowder for 3. It was tasty and not overly creamy. Two of us shared a blackened fish sandwich,

Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Sam's Chowder House Half Moon Bay at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Sam's Chowder House Half Moon Bay page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* FluffyStar64, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* FluffyStar64 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to FluffyStar64 for any questions Peter may have as FluffyStar64 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* FluffyStar64 now uses their connections at Sam's Chowder House Half Moon Bay to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If FluffyStar64 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, FluffyStar64 receives the $200 reward which is credited to FluffyStar64's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Sam's Chowder House Half Moon Bay!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
