    Unless you were unprepared for Stinson beach day and it was a last resort, I would stay clear away from this spot. This is an Expensive eatery for a place where you serve yourself. The food was good yes but is about 3x you would pay anywhere else. The ambiance is open seating like a brewery and the view is not beach but neighborhood town road or patio wall. I had the crab bisque, $14 for a pint size with yummy garlic bread (but no crab chunks) and $9 can of suderks beer (being from Davis, I use to get these drafts for $1-3)! I wondered if the tip had to be included already in price. Anyways avoid to save your wallet. Just pack a BYOE (everything) of affordable food and picnic on the beach.

    CARNE ASADA TACOS

    Its our first time in the area. After our hiking from Alamere Falls, we were hungry and tired. This is the first restaurant we found on our way home. It was freezing outside and there's limited fireplace so we went inside. We ordered steak taco and hamburger. They were so great! The burger is not dry and cooked perfectly and the steak taco is a lot. It tasted very good. Well prepared. The service is great too. The server brought utensils, napkins and catsup. We are definitely going back to get some beers.

    Best shrimp taco of my life. Great location after a big hike. Had a nice glass of wine with it. Great service too.

    GRILLED SALMON SANDWICH
    Erin K.

    This is our go-to eatery when we are at Stinson, mainly because of their dog friendly patio. As a couple, we have collectively had 4 or 5 different menu items total and they've all been pretty good. I wouldn't say the food is spectacular but it's tasty enough. I do feel it is slightly overpriced at $18-30/entree but I guess that's the price for an outing to Stinson. Like another reviewer said, it's more about the ambiance and proximity to the beach than it is about the food. Overall, decent eats, lots of tables on the patio, and dog-friendly. Oh! And there are bathrooms available for customers.

    NASHVILLE CHICKEN SANDWICH
    Camille E.

    The outdoor space is really nice, and the location is great--walking distance to the beach. We got the Nashville Chicken Sandwich and were pretty disappointed. Given the name, we were expecting typical Nashville cayenne sauce/seasoning, but the chicken itself had a sweet sauce with it instead. On top of this, the sandwiches were lukewarm. For nearly $20 each, we expected them to be hot and fresh. The food was fine, but quite expensive for what it is, which is probably attributed to the location.

    Very mediocre food for an expensive price. Burger was dry. I actually quite enjoyed the fries, they were very crispy, but I wish there were bottles of ketchup instead of just packets. Overall experience left me wanting more, especially considering the price.

    overall B+: great North Bay Stinson beach side restaurant/patio. The food and service and prices solid, vibe of the place outstanding. Halibut sammy, fresh poke salad. Just beware of local bird droppings before sitting outside. Drive from the highway was super beautiful and fun, especially in a boxter sports car.

    SHRIMP TACOS
    Sophia W.

    We stopped by before our journey to Mendocino. It's a small but cute area. You order outside at the bar and the outdoor patio is pretty big and dog friendly. Bathrooms for customers too and a place to fill up water. It is kind of pricy at $25 for 2 shrimp tacos. Shrimp taco was pretty good. But it's about the vicinity to the beach and location I guess. I'm sure at night it looks even more fun.

    Dungeoness Crab Melt
    Anthony W.

    The Drinks were good. Not much else was though. This does seem like a nice chill spot to hang out though. I was really excited to try this place but the food was just a bit lacking for me. My crab sandwich had the flavor but it was really missing the main ingredient: the crab. That's the one thing that really bugs me when I go somewhere and I see Crab Cakes on the menu. You definitely gotta have a good amount because the customer is already paying extra for that tiny luxury. On top of that we ordered Clam Chowder and it was just ok. Definitely could of used some more salt if anything but at least there was there was good enough fixings in that. I'm not sure if I would try them again since I struck out with two items. But at least the fries and booze were good.

    Gabriel S.

    This place is clearly a tourist trap but at least the food isn't bad.  Crab melt was decent. There was quite a bit of crab. The fries were decent. Salmon tacos were so so. There was quite a lot of salmon but the tacos didn't taste lively even with the squeeze of lime. The flavour profile of both dishes was muted, but the tacos felt the lack more.

    Arnold Palmer
    Allie G.

    Stopped by for dinner after a hike/exploring Stinson Beach! Our expectations were low, considering the mixed reviews, but we had a good experience. We grabbed a table on the patio, and were delighted to find it was well heated. The ambiance on the patio was pleasant - string lights, dogs, happy people, etc. We went up to order at the bar and I got the Nashville Chicken Sandwich and an Arnold Palmer. You also pay at the counter and wait until your number is called to pick up your food. Service was quick and we didn't wait long for our orders to be ready. The portion sizes were quite large, which was perfect because we were starving. It was far from the best Nashville Chicken Sandwich of my life, but the chicken was juicy and the fries on the side were delicious. I will say, it could've used more sauce - not hot at all. My friends got the Ahi Tuna Poke Salad and Fish & Chips, which were both tasty. We also got a side order of the Housemade Guacamole & Chips, which was delightful - definitely made fresh. Overall, the food wasn't mind blowing, but we left full and happy!

    Cheeseburger
    Jane M.

    I had a cheeseburger and lemonade. The lemonade was excellent! The burger was pretty good and came with fries. We ate on their patio. Overall, a great meal for a day at the beach. Only downfall was that the prices were quite steep.

    Fish tacos
    Tricia M.

    Great great food - we sat out on the patio on a sunny March afternoon and ordered from the little outdoor bar! Everything tasted fantastic and they do have full menu of drinks (we got the barrel aged Manhattan and a glass of Pinot Grigio). Service was helpful and pleasant! Food was all packaged to go - I think they automatically do that if you order for dining outside but we didn't complain. There was a nice fire pit out there as well. Halibut tacos were the thing to order!! But everything loved their food - cheeseburger, kids buttered pasta, beet salad. No complaints!

    Tri-GRILLED TRI TIP SANDWICH didn't disappoint!

There's street parking, but we parked across the street in the lot by the music shop (it's closed on weekends, which makes it even easier). Zero stress before carbs -- we love to see it. It has that super local, neighborhood energy where everyone clearly knows exactly what they're ordering before they even walk in. Always a good sign. The bread basket? Unreal. The soup was divine -- comforting, flavorful, and exactly what you want on a cozy day. And the bread somehow manages to feel indulgent and wholesome at the same time. Warm, hearty, and clearly made with care. The space itself is just as inviting -- warm, relaxed, and effortlessly charming. And the pastries... they looked dangerous in the best way. I didn't even get one this time, which honestly just means I'm definitely coming back for round two. Already planning my next visit.

My "Soft Scramble" was a pile of astonishment. It was so unrefined that it was an insult the the ingredients. There was nothing soft about the eggs, they were overcooked. The only thing soft on the plate was the watery run-off from the vegetables they heaped into the eggs: Too many chewy mushrooms and HUGE. Too many cherry tomatoes. I had to dig to find the eggs. The leeks were strips of inedible ribbon. The toast? I think it had been toasted yesterday and left on the top of their oven overnight and then reused today. I had to get up from the table and ask for butter to make it edible and still I worried whether I was going to break a crown. The pickled vegetables? Again, HUGE, hard and barely pickled. I will refrain from criticizing the service because they are all unaware of the nightmare in which they are working. Bless their hearts. I was so sad and annoyed. People think they can buy a restaurant with recipes and wholesale accounts and staff and just run it, "business as usual" but they are wrong. I went in and asked if they had sold the restaurant and was told, "yes." I imagine some tech-bro's wife or some hedgefund community doodler wanted a pet project with zero idea about food or food quality or how to treat and retain employees because what happened to MHBB is astonishing. It's rude and insulting to anyone who opened this restaurant and put in their best to keep the name and claim to be catering to the same people. But then again, this is par for the course or, from my vantage point, everything wrong with what's happened in Marin in a nutshell. Faux authenticity. Zero care. This is now all about the money. I will never bother with it again.

Cashier worker Andrea was so nasty and confrontational and even had the lack of decency to be rude and nasty to my innocent by stander of a child!! I was nearly in tears over this workers verbal assault. I immediately rang the owner Heather. She didn't seem terribly bothered and thought our verbal assault from her employee would be rectified by offering us free drinks. No go! This didn't change the worker Andrea's attitude and death stares, not to mention we could hear her talking crap about us to other employees. The mouth and behavior of this employee is abominable and shouldn't be a behavior that we as supportive patrons should ever experience. Fortunately we have several gluten and dairy free options in Marin, so save yourself a verbal assault and go elsewhere.
