We checked out Rosy’s after seeing it on TikTok, but honestly, we left feeling underwhelmed. The idea of fries and steak inside a clam chowder bread bowl just didn’t make sense to us. I could see it working with just the lobster on top, but the whole thing felt over the top in a not so great way.
Instead, I played it safe and got a regular clam chowder bread bowl, and while it was decent, I’ve had much better, fresher-tasting chowder elsewhere. The crab cakes were also a big letdown, clearly frozen, which was disappointing.
That said, service was good, and they had plenty of seating for our large group, which was a plus. But overall, I was hoping for so much more based on the online buzz. Probably wouldn’t go out of my way to come back.

Rosy’s Fish City was a big disappointment. The pictures on Social Media made it looked good but the food was not what I expected. It was so random. The lobster dish on top of a bread bowl filled with fries, some shrimp and meat was so random. The clam chowder was too thick for my liking. And boyfriend’s fish taco dish was so random. A plate of steamed broccoli, fries, a bowl of chowder and the fish tacos were salmon. We were not used to having salmon as the fish for fish tacos. Usually it would be some rock cod fish. The lettuce in the fish tacos were too much. No cilantro or anything to make it stand out. And the ceviche came out served in a plate and not in a bowl but the ceviche was the only thing I liked there. Overall, the food was ehh ok but will I be back again, I highly doubt it.

Definitely NOT the best chowder in the bay area. It's overhyped by social media. It's decent but it's not worth coming back. $13 for a small (fist size) chowder. Other dish are good but nothing out of the ordinary.

The lobster had no taste. Basically everything we got was tasteless. To expensive. We didn't even get napkins or forks or spoons. Don't believe everything Instagram says. I believed it and went and was very disappointed.

The fish and chips and the snapper sandwich were absolutely delicious, and the portion size was incredibly generous! If I could, I’d give it a 10/5 rating. Highly recommend!

I recently dined at Rosy Fish City and had a wonderful experience. Myra, our server, was quick, friendly, and efficient from the moment we sat down. I ordered the halibut, which was perfectly cooked—light, flaky, and full of flavor. It paired beautifully with a glass (or two!) of Chardonnay.
As someone with a shellfish allergy, I appreciated that Myra was attentive to my needs. My salad initially arrived with shrimp, but she was very understanding and had the kitchen remake it without hesitation. If you’re also avoiding shellfish, just be sure to clarify when ordering. Overall, I had a delightful meal and would highly recommend Rosy Fish City for both the food and the wonderful service.

Food was okay, over hyped on tik tok
White pasta with shrimp 8/10
Garlic sourdough bread 10/10
Seafood soup 2/10 Bland no flavor took 3 bites and was like no more
The texas cheese fries were a joke 1/10 it's literally weinersnizhel fries with pickled jalapeños and cheese on them
Very nice restaurant with excellent food and service. We tried the lobster chilequiles sooo good! Big portions of food served

The portions are generous and incredibly tasty, offering a refreshing change from the typical seafood joints. And they have Lagunitas IPA on tap!
Great value overall!

I felt it was overhyped. Food was just ok. I read it was the best clam chowder in the bay, it wasn't.
