Though it’s situated along the Embarcadero, Fog City Diner is more reminiscent of a train than a boat, with its long interior space and chrome décor. Black-and-white tile flooring, leather retro booths, and black tables topped with crisp white linen napkins and high-quality flatware complete the setting. Both locals and tourists hunker down in the inviting booths for menu options that range from meatloaf and ribs to ethnic dishes like quesadillas and mu shu pork burritos. The raw oyster bar is also a popular draw at this unique eatery.
