Was looking for a seafood place to avoid Asian or Italian. Betty Lou did not disappoint. I had halibut and my friend had the Sea Bass and clam chowder. Servings were generous and the peppercorn lemon sauce was delicious. The halibut could have used a little more care in cooking as it was a little dry but my friend's sea bass was done well. The menu was not overwhelming which is good. Prices were reasonable for SFO.

If you’re looking for seafood in San Francisco, try this place. Just 7 mins drive from fisherman’s wharf and has better food and pricing. This was truly one of the best seafood pasta I’ve tried, I would return just for this dish alone. It’s obvious they take flavour and their dishes seriously. Really liked their clam chowder here as well. Street parking is possible, you probably just have to walk slightly to get here. Would definitely come back!

Great spot in the heart of North Beach. Friendly service/hospitality and the food is great too. Had the chicken piccata and tortellini with tomato cream sauce. Will be back!

The food was delicious, especially Mikes Wok Crab. The pre cracked crab made it easier to eat than your typical seagulls boil and the seasoning was absolutely amazing. The restaurant itself is pretty old looking as many restaurants in little Italy are and the music and atmosphere is not very lively.

We had an amazing experience at Betty Lou's!! We ordered Raw Oysters, Clam Chowder, Side Meatballs, Seafood Linguine and Vegetarian Risotto. Everything was extraordinary! The meatballs were delicious ~ chewy, moist and flavorful. The risotto reminded me of meals prepared by my mom when I was a kid! Very unexpected, very authentic, very warm and hearty! Thank you so much!!

I have walked by Betty Lou’s numerous times and didn’t give it a lot of thought. It may look unassuming from the outside but let me tell you- I had been missing out. I went recently and can’t stop thinking about the linguine with mixed seafood that I ordered. It was phenomenal. The scallops were cooked perfectly. So succulent. I chose the tomato cream sauce and aghhhh it was drool worthy. I recommend getting some fresh cracked black pepper on your dish purely for the spectacle of the grinder. It’s the size of a toddler 😂. Other seafood restaurants in the area may get more hype, but I think Betty Lou’s stands toe to toe with them. Plus, you’re less likely to have to wait in line.

If you’re looking for a cozy friendly ambiance, Betty Lou’s was perfect. The food was super tasty and FILLING. i couldn’t even finish my plate but the alfredo was absolutely creamy and the portion of seafood in it very generous. My partner said it was one of the best risotto he’s had!!

Very tasty food and reasonably priced. The pesto sauce for seafood pasta was amazing. Free bread for dipping is also a big plus. Service was very quick and attentive.

Loved dining here at Betty Lou's. She actually works the floor so she has that personal touch which is really rare in San Francisco restaurants these days. The food is wonderful and the oysters are delicious and fresh. The wait staff is helpful and fun! There is a City Parking structure a block away. Highly recommend!

Seafood linguine in red cream sauce was tasty except for the scallops for some reason. Atmosphere was quaint and felt more like a diner than a restaurant. Service was good but service took a while for a table of six.
