Sam's Chowder Mobile

The truck was located in front of 100 van ness today where residents got $10 offWe ordered the lobster rolls and they were huge with lots of lobster $33 total vs $53 was nice! We enjoyed them The guy working here today at register is not that nice

Sam's provided a great mobile catering experience with selections of lobster, seafood, shrimp, clams, mussels boil was delicious.Andouille sausage and coleslaw yummy!Watermelon and lemon slices served. Highly recommend for catering. Friendly on-time service.

One of the rare food trucks in the Bay area that doesn't serve up the kind of slop that one might eat in a fever dream. Lobster rolls have gorgeously buttered bread, are generously portioned with sweet-tasting fresh lobster, with a lovely light dressing that doesn't overwhelm. Coleslaw is good. Old bay fries are lovely. If only it weren't so expensive...

I'd be happy following this food truck around because the food is just that good! Sam's Chowder Mobile seems unassuming from the outside - it's a simple red truck. However, the seafood is fresh, and the portions are generous. The service was really speedy despite the long line.I got a variety of dishes to try. Sam's Famous Lobster Roll is well-known for good reason. The buttery roll is heaped with loads of lobster. Every single bite is packed with butter, bread, and delicious lobster meat. The roll comes with a side of cole slaw, a fresh contrast to the rich lobster. The New England Clam Chowder is creamy and delicious - the chowder contains clams, potatoes, and bacon in every scoop. The Fried Calamari is beautifully crispy and comes with a good selection of sauces. Lastly, the fries are crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. I really consider Sam's to have some of the best seafood in the Bay. I'm looking forward to my next visit!

A much needed respite after a great exhibit at the De Young museum. It was a bit pricy, but the food was excellent. We had the clam chowder and fish and chips. The chowder was the perfect consistency, not too thick, with plenty of tender clams and potato chunks. The fish and chips were delicious ( fish needed a little salt) but the coating was crispy and not greasy, and the fish flaked beautifully. Fries were nicely seasoned. A good lunch stop!

This truck comes by San Francisco General Hospital during lunch sometimes. I usually order the fish and chips which seem very fresh, crispy, and tasty. Today I ventured out and tried the spicy popcorn shrimp, and I was a little disappointed. The spice they put on the crispy shrimp was sprinkled on at the end and not well mixed. This makes the shrimp soggy with the pieces that were sprinkled with the hot sauce. The other pieces were pretty bland tasting. Although the shrimp is very plump and fresh, next time, I will go back to my old order of the two piece, fish and chips.This truck is pretty pricey but at least all the seafood is fresh

I stopped by try their lobster roll and clam chowder and it was not so great... The lobster roll somehow it tastes like medicine and I'm not sure why?? The clam chowder was alright but it mostly consisted of celery and potatoes with minimal clams in it.

"He was generous with the lobster," said I. "He was generous with everything," replied my wife. She then observed that Sam was underselling himself: although he may well have excellent chowder, he has many other offerings of the highest quality for a food truck. That is all to say we were glad we partook, and we will stop by once again if we happen to see him.We had taken the dog for a walk in Golden Gate Park. It was as crowded as to be expected on Sunday. After a bit more than a mile of strolling, we returned to the area where Sam's and two other vendors were parked, doing brisk business. Before we set out, we had wondered what we would do for a late lunch, having had breakfast only at 9:30am. A big band was busking. I am not sure that is the right phrasing. A big band seems too sizable to say was busking, since they probably needed a special permit. Many were dancing to the music, the lindy and the jitterbug.I had had my eye on the lobster roll. My wife was deciding between fish tacos and fish and chips. She likes the former, but she went with the latter. The quantity -- she is petite, under 100 pounds -- was so much I knew I could have some fries (you know that scene in Diner?) -- and she still had leftovers sufficient for lunch the next day. The lobster, a full size serving, was falling out of the bun. I even had a bite of the fish and chips, which were better than available at a nearby restaurant (which is fine, I hasten to add).We are lucky. We tell ourselves that. I remember being a kid and looking at what others had, which my family could not afford. Our house is walking distance to this magnificent green space in my favorite city in the world now. Whenever we have a family outing such as this morning, I remind myself of my good fortune, whatever travails I will face on Monday morning. Sam's Chowder Mobile was a nice break. A small business such as this, I am pleased to support. I would say we are privileged to able to have our repast on a park bench, and I am most grateful.

I stopped by General hospital and seen this truck i decided to order. The fish was not seasoned at all and the fries was over cooked.

Great fish tacos have been so hard to find until now!!! I just happened to be invited to a 60th birthday party in Marin and much to my surprise, Sam's mobile was there catering it. The best fish tacos I have ever eaten! I also ordered the fried chicken sandwich and it was delicious! The bun was so soft and yet it held up and didn't fall apart. The fries are so crispy and abundant! Looking forward to more of this delicious food!!!
