The Sardine Can

I've been here a couple times, but today's visit was the best! Came here on a Monday early afternoon. It wasn't busy at all, which we loved. And I also love how lowkey it is. Servers are friendly. Food came out fresh. I ordered the crab melt with fries. My mom got the tuna melt with coleslaw. Both sandwiches on sourdough. They were yummy and crispy. The coleslaw wasn't all that. I wouldn't order it again. My toddler enjoyed fish sticks with a cup of fruit. Everything was delightful from the vibes to the views of the ocean. There's plenty of seating inside and outside.

I had a deeply disappointing and alarming experience at The Sardine Can in Vallejo. I ordered a burger and specifically requested an item to be excluded due to a food allergy. Despite my clear instructions, the first burger arrived covered in mayonnaise. When I brought this to their attention, they assured me they would prepare a new one. Shockingly, the second burger was the exact same one with the mayonnaise still on it. Even after I pointed this out again, they promised to cook a fresh burger--but the third time, they blatantly served the same burger yet again.This is not just careless; it's downright dangerous. The chef's disregard for my allergy and repeated attempts to pass off the same contaminated burger put my health at risk. Such negligence is unacceptable in any restaurant, and the chef should face serious consequences for endangering patrons.Service was good and the waitress was as frustrated as I was. This was a $130 meal that I paid for and wasn't even able to eat lunch!If you have any kind of food allergy or dietary restriction, I would strongly advise avoiding this place. Their lack of care and respect for their customers' safety is appalling. I will not be returning and cannot recommend this establishment to anyone.

Looking for a hidden gem spot to have one of the best Bloody Mary's in the East Bay by the water before heading to the Niner game? Look no further than Sardine Can. A whole-in-the-wall type of spot that's no frills, but gets the job done. We take a Niner bus to the games from the East Bay with a stop in Vallejo. Because the bus leaves so early, we are always on the hunt for an early spot we can have a pre-game and a solid breakfast. Sardine Can never disappoints. The Bloody Mary comes with crisp bacon, and everything I've ever ordered here is solid: buttery hash browns, fluffy pancakes, juicy sausage, hearty breakfast sandwiches, fresh eggs, and strong coffee. Love the servers, a real "when you're here, you're family" type joint. Won't break the bank before a big weekend outing, and just the spot to also breathe in a little bit of the Vallejo waterfront breeze. Already looking forward to the next Sunday Funday!

This is our main place to come when visiting my parents in Vallejo. It's near the water although doesn't have much of a view. The atmosphere is casual and there is plenty of indoor/outdoor seating. They have good burgers and sandwiches. Their jambalaya is great although very seafood forward. My favorite thing on the menu is their Gumbo. It has amazing flavor with the perfect spice. I'm not usually a fan of Texas toast but it definitely works in this case. Service is always nice and efficient. They have only one bathroom, so that can be a slight challenge if it's busy. Overall, we like the place enough to keep coming back regularly.

First off this place has probably around longer than I. The location is iconic to any local. I believe it's changed ownership several times or at least a few. I stopped by to reminisce on the scenery and the food isn't bad but I'll give you a honest review of my experience. It does get crowded so my hostess wat spot on to try and make sure everyone is taken care of. My fish was well cooked. The batter was crispy but the slaw was pretty soggy with zero flavor. ‍. Overall it's still a nice place to eat and don't get me wrong I've had other things here that was pretty good. The slaw was just not so good

Beautiful location overlooking Mare island bridge, next to the water and yachts. You can dine outside with fresh air or inside where the window view is next to the water. Decent prices on soup and some seafood, some I find pricey but interesting to try next time. We ordered a gumbo and a soup and sandwich combo: I had clam chowder and a BLT. Food is good but not comparable to Sam's Chowder House is still my number one. Plenty of parking space, quiet area not much people on a weekday 4pm, you will also see people walking near the water. Location is away from the main road or highway, I agree that it is a hodden gem that you will not find it if you will not look for it.

I've enjoyed everything I've ever ordered except the Alfredo :/ I definitely recommend this place the. Clam chowder is my favorite the jambalaya is delicious the fish and chips the burgers and garlic fries .. definitely Vallejo's hidden gem ..

I normally don't dine this far from home but our friend lives in Sacramento so we had to compromise. I reviewed their menu the night before and decided on the crab sandwich. It's a simple restaurant with the nice view of the water. My sandwich was actually good, better than others I've tried. My friends had the vegan burger and fish and potato salad. The weather was great for our get together with good food. Would I come back? No, it's too far for me. Sorry.

Drive to the end of the road until you see the coast guard gate. The Sardine Can parking is to the left. They closed at 9 pm on Saturday night. They no longer have Sunday Jazz.We walked in and grabbed a table. There were a few seated inside. Cioppino is a tomato base stew with prawns, crab, Bay shrimp, clams, scallops, and cod. Is it the best I've ever had? No, but it's under $25 with great service, free parking, and cold beer. The seafood was a little over cooked but not terrible. The avocado salad was just right for a light bite. The lunch sandwiches look tasty so I'll be back. When traffic is impossible, this is a nice stop or worth the trip in general.

I went there yesterday for lunch with a group. I had expected 8 or 9 people, but 15 showed up. The staff accommodated us - they moved tables around, created separate checks for the individuals in the group, took pictures of us, and got food out to all of us promptly. The food was very tasty. It was a great experience.
