You would have to jump on BART to get to Caltrain at Burlingame. Then take Caltrain to Diridon. Then take Mountain View-Winchester lightrail to Convention Center station, then transfer to the Santa Teresa-Alum Rock light rail to head south to Curtner station, and then walk a mile (15 minutes) to Boiling Crab on Curtner. I actually tried this before to get to my South San Jose home from SFO. It took me 3 hours, ONE WAY

There are some decent Boiling Crab wannabes in SF, so you can check them out. As long as you go in with a lower expectation, you'll enjoy them
I'm sure the info will be useful for *somebody*, but the OP was in SF about 5 years ago, so I think he's done what he is going to do.

It's a shame that PubTrans just doesn't work out for some trips. For future travelers, from SFO to this restaurant, I'd do BART->CalTrain (depending on the timing - you might have to wait up to an hour for the next CalTrain) and then grab an Uber or Lyft trip from the train station in SJ. I'd pay the extra $10 to gain an hour or 90 minutes of travel time.

If the CalTrain timing doesn't work out (say, a 45 min wait), I'd simply take a SuperShuttle (or other communal van trip) directly to the restaurant from the airport - that should cost somewhere around $40-$50 one way, and should take a max of 90 mins.

Gosh, I was going to suggest why he has not thought of Uber or Lyft. Now that you mentioned it, original post was 2011. Good grief, my bad!

Man....I hate it when people bring dead threads back up. Seriously
