Easily the worst fish and chips I've had. Breading falling apart. To go because everything is to go because of COVID and it was ready in less than 5 min. Doubt they had time to freshly fry everything in 5 min. I DO NO RECOMMEND THIS PLACE. I ate it within 5 min of leaving and fish was soggy and breading was basically non existent. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves. Also why the hell would u just slop the coleslaw on top of everything instead of putting it in it's own to go container!!!??? The coleslaw juice saturated all the frys and fish. Very disappointed. Meal was not cheap either. HARD PASS read more

Food was fresh and quick. Service is great! You order and sit where ever you want. They're nice and laid back! We got here a little before 3 and they were nice enough to serve us . Food was delicious! I never had a shrimp quesadilla and I'm glad I tired it from here, sadly I don't think I will ever have one as good. I asked for the pico del Gallo on the side and it tasted so fresh! My husband had the grilled chicken sandwich with fries and he loved his to! His fires were really good! Overall I would recommend this place! read more

After a quick hike on the matt davis trail we find ourselves at breakers cafe. Probably because its the only place to eat on the strip aside from the market. Inside had a beach town feeling yet clean and modern. In general, i think the prices are kinda high for a place like this but the selection was great. I ordered the clam chowder soup and tuna melt. Since they didnt have small portions i ended up paying for 2 full entree sizes. The food was good. I dont know if I was just starving from the hike, but i was really impressed. It def had more of a home cooked meal feeling if anything. The chowder had large chunks of tuna and top with olive oil (nice touch). The tuna melt reminds me of how mama use to do it. I enjoyed all of it. I ended up spending $30 including tip which seems pretty high for lunch but i loved it. read more

We hit the Breakers Cafe on the way home from Bolinas for a post surf meal and I can definitely say, this place does not disappoint. We originally stopped to check out a local cafe in Bolinas which smelled amazing, but the choices were pretty limited since we came before their dinner seating so we hopped in the car and started on our way out. Its a bit further than I had remembered, but its on the way out to the main road so you really have to go that way anyway if you're trying to get back to the 101 or 580. The road can be crowded so drive carefully, but once you park get ready for some bomb food. We ordered Snapper tacos, french fries and of course a few drinks. They have lots of bottled beer and a couple of on tap options as well as cocktail options. The fish was well prepared, tortillas fresh and soft, street style (double layered) with mounds of fish, cabbage slaw with avocado and a healthy juicy lime wedge. The french fries were krinkle cut which I have no qualms about, those krinkles grab hold on to ketchup even better! And when I asked for ranch, there was no extra charge and the server happily brought us a couple rounds. This is a walk up and order, they give you a number and pay after you eat kind of place, no fuss, just good food kind of cafe. Next time, I'd love to come early enough to grab breakfast because that menu looked pretty bomb. read more

If You are Visiting with Kids I Suppose it would Suffice. Blood Mary is Mediocre and Margarita was Tons of OJ. Tried their Fish Tacos but were Super Messy and lots of Sauce. A Preference of Mine with Fish Tacos is Real Avocado and they Use a Spread. Not My Fav and Don't Recommend. Felt Very Cold and Pay at the Window Situation. Although they Offer outdoor Seating they still service your food to go and with plastic Utensils. After COVID I'm So Over To Go and Plastic etc. read more

The hubby took me here as a surprise breakfast and walk on the beach. It was good. I had the breakfast enchiladas #1 and my husband the pancake breakfast. Everything here was fine - the service, the food etc. Coffee was good, oj was labeled fresh squeezed but came from a dispenser and was a commercial fresh squeeze. The hubby's eggs had an on and off onion taste and were not "well done" like asked. Mine however was delicious and clearly the thing to get! The pancakes were sweet and very fluffy if a bit oily on the outside. Their bacon was Smokey, salty and exactly scrumptious. The 3 rating is based on the oniony eggs (doesn't pair well with pancakes), the oj, prices were a little high, and the fact that this is a counter service place. Nothing wrong with that, there's just no personal service to add to the review. read more

Gave this place a second chance which only confirmed my first take as over priced and disturbingly wasteful. $28 fish and chips served with plastic utensils wrapped in plastic. Everything served up in a paper box put in an unnecessary paper bag. All condiments in little packets. No evident compost. In this day and age ..shameful. Not returning . read more

We came here after playing at Stinson beach on Veteran's day and it was the only restaurant open, but luckily we are not too disappointed with the food here. There are plenty of tables both inside the restaurant and outside at the patio and service is fast. Price is steep for breakfast, but the cafe is right off the park and beach, so we really could not complain. We ordered a burger, an omelette, a quesadilla, and a salmon salad. Everything is pretty average except for the Salmon salad which really stood out. The Salmon was good size and the grill on it was perfect. Just the right amount of flakiness, not overcooked. Service was great, you order at the register and get a number, and staff will deliver food to the table. They are also nice when we ask for extra plates and utensils multiple times. Otherwise, this place is average and I will still like to try some other places next time in the area. read more

What a cute little cafe! After arriving at Stinson Beach, me and DD walked around looking for some brunch! Since we had my dog, we looked for an outdoor patio and came across Breakers Cafe, which seemed to be a pretty popular joint! Every time I'm close to a beach - I crave seafood! So I ordered the Shrimp Omelet. I got a huge omelet stuffed with shrimp, tomatoes, avocados, and infused with tons of melted mozzarella cheese. I also got potatoes and toast on the side. Everyone was well seasoned and delicious! They were very generous with the shrimp! DD ordered the Cobb Salad which was topped with TONS of blue cheese, chicken, tomatoes, cucumbers, and hard boiled eggs. I guess the only thing different about this salad compared to a classic Cobb is that there was no bacon (chicken instead) and they served the salad with a thousand island dressing. Either way, we were satisfied! An order and find-your-own-seat kind of joint, me and my dog quickly found a place in the back patio. Food came out quickly and service was prompt and friendly. No wonder this place was packed! read more

A really lovely spot! Friendly service. Outside seating. My dog was welcome. Adult slushes! Near the beach but I wouldn't walk to it. On the main road and way to find. Nice menu - I had oysters on half shell. They were fresh and really yummy. Packaged on ice to take to the beach with all the right items - hot sauce packets and vinegar and lemon. Sadly I drop to 4 stars in that there were a lot of broken shells in their prep and I bit into more than 1. I would still get it again. I also had fried calamari. These tasted nice and fresh. Batter was not too heavy and not to greasy. They stuck together a bit. But we'll packaged and yummy. Be aware it's A bit expensive. But it's a difficult to get to location and a great place to take a nice lunch. I do wish I could have found the potties here. Sorry forgot to get pics. read more

The food was delicious! High priced but it's worth it. You get exactly what you pay for.

Went there last weekend after a day at the beach. Waited in line and ordered, then sat down to wait for my number to be called. All food came out in to-go boxes and brown bags. We stayed to eat there and the food was good. The problem is I felt rushed in line and when I got home I realized they added in a 20% tip! I called the manager and was told that for parties of 5 or more, this is automatic. He said it was for sitting on the patio and taking up space for 5 people. No servers, paper plates and sitting outside on a patio. I spent $150 on food and was charged a $30 tip and was told this policy was on the menu that is pinned on the wall of the bar. If you go, only order to-go or make sure you get to choose how much tip you want to give a guy at the bar for taking your order! I won't be going back. read more

I ordered "Butterfish Salad" which sounded quite good. I was served several pieces of white tasty fish that was probably seared. I ate all of it. I did not know what butterfish was when I ordered. I would have appreciated a warning that butterfish commonly causes keriorrhoea to otherwise healthy adults. read more

There were a couple of off oysters in our box. Definitely not the cheapest option, but the salad we also had (pear and prosciutto) was excellent. read more

Food was delicious, especially the Belgian waffle (served just perfect ... for me that is). Very relaxed casual atmosphere. ONLY disappointing factor was watching an employee give TWO hearty earth shattering watery sneezes all over the outside tables after he just "wiped" them down. Didn't bother covering his sneezes either. BLAH! Glad we were seated inside. Perfect mochas too! read more

Worst Food! recommend not visting this place. Staff not helpful or caring. Food given in boxes. Crappy food. Burnt food.

I stopped here for a cup of coffee after 7.3-mile hike at Mt.Tam State Park. Just finished hiking from DipSea Trail and had DipSea trail blend coffee here, so it was good and relaxed actually. read more

The server was professional and courteous. I was a little frustrated by the fact it was 11:45 when I showed up to work from their patio and the lunch menu did not start until noon. I ordered only a latte and then he came out and took my order at noon - quite a nice perk! The bartender was a little salty when I asked for directions to the ladies room and when I needed to pay quickly to get going. Overall - the taco salad with chicken was the best I have ever had! The custom dressing was to die for and the meat fresh and cooked perfectly. Impressive little place, worth the money. read more

We took the Shoreline Highway on our way home from Agate Beach. This place is just right along it in Stinson Beach. We stopped by here to have breakfast. I needed my coffee and was just desperate to get one anywhere. Yet, I found this place on Yelp and looks promising for a breakfast place. So I got my coffee, regular nothing fancy. I just couldn't wait to sip it first before looking on the menu. I saw their corned beef harsh and ordered it. It had chunks of corned beef, chopped up celery, bell pepper, potatoes an over easy egg on top (my request) and garnished with fresh cilantro! Almost like a mexican version of corned beef hash and was surprisingly good. It came with some toasts. read more

Great patio and excellent breakfast! They offer a breakfast dish I've never seen before : open-faced breakfast enchiladas! Two corn tortillas, a LOT of scrambled eggs, cheese, pinto beans, and enchilada sauce... Topped with your choice of meat (I had carne asada.) Very good! And a great value at about $10...you'll be powered up to surf all day. Very nice spacious patio, and a cool selection of games too. I'll be going on weekends just for the enchiladas. Hope to see you there! read more

The servings are generous. The red snapper tacos are delicious, and their burritos are huge! The Dijon burger and fries are yummy too. The Bloody Mary was good, not the best I've ever had but pretty delicious! If your not a pepper and spicy person make sure to ask them to take it easy on the hot sauce and black pepper you'll die! Staff is super nice and service is quick. Will definitely have to try them for breakfasts! read more

Delicious food! We ordered the Tuna Poke Bowl and the Turkey Panini and both were so fresh and tasty!

I don't mind spending too dollar amounts on food ...if it's worth it. Had dinner here after a long day at the beach. The food was overpriced and under cooked. Service was okaaay. Nothing special. Not what I expected. read more

A comfortable and delightful stop along the coastal highway. We were treated with superb customer service and made to feel right at home. The atmosphere was great, very relaxed. The food came in a very timely manner and boy was it good! I thoroughly enjoyed the oatmeal and a spinach, mushroom, tomato egg scramble with crunchy potato cubes. YUM! My only complaint, though it doesn't really count as an actual complaint, is that they have TOO MANY great meal options! It was so hard to choose! Strong coffee. Refreshing ice tea. Oh, and they serve breakfast every day! How cool! read more

We did the Mt. Tam hike down to Stinson Beach and Breakers Cafe was a recommended place to go to by some friends. We get there and decided to order a bloody mary, fries and the seafood stew. That came out to $46.xx (pricey tbh). We grabbed some self-serve water and sat down. Five minutes rolls by, then fifteen minutes, then thirty minutes... Finally our mediocre fries from the frozen section come to the table and we patiently wait another five minutes for the seafood stew.. The seafood stew finally comes out and you can smell a weird odor coming from the food as if they were serving us a garbage disposal of seafood. I dip a piece of bread into the soup and I had to spit it out, the soup tasted like the seafood was rotten. We then bring it to the attention of the cashier, she goes back to the kitchen and tells the chef. The chef comes out to the front and murmurs something to the cashier and scurries to the back. The cashier asks if we want to order anything else, we decline and the cashier offers a refund but we have to wait for the chef to give her the ok? Well, we get our $24 back for the seafood stew (I guess she didn't want to give us the tax back). 1 star, over-priced, long wait time from order to receiving food (we got in before any type of rush) and last but not least the rotten seafood stew that was served to us. Left a rotten taste in our mouth and not to mention a pretty empty stomach on the drive back home. We probably got a bad batch of the seafood stew as the reviews on here mentioned the dish was good. read more

Omg!!! This spot offers good food and quality drinks! Safe environment for customers, guest and its own crew! We loved our calamari, specials of the day Pasta Carbonara & Primavera. The wait time also is decent! Super fast service!! And I forgot, since this place is really like secluded area -- this restaurant offers good prices for their food! Big portions for not so pricy bucks! I am suprise. So please, tip your crew service people! They are super polite and well versed people. Will be back again. read more

I was skeptical at first. I live in the Bar Area and I figured all the restaurants in Stinson Beach would be the standard tourist thing, over-priced & mediocre. I rarely go to Stinson. A bunch of the restaurants here have apparently gone out of business prolly due to the pandemic. I got 2 burritos to go, Carne asada & shrimp. A bit more expensive than in SF but they were good. Massive. They don't skimp on the protein. Pleasantly surprised. read more

We rented this space for our wedding, and it was great! They basically surrendered the space to our event from 4PM-10PM (with first hour needed for set up), with the requirement that we use their open bar (with a minimum bar tab). Price to rent the space was much more reasonable than what most places charge, particularly in the Marin/coastal area. My only complaint is that early on, when we were eager to sign the contract and pay the deposit, it was difficult to get ahold of the owner to finalize things. However, once he did it was all fine, and he set us up with the appropriate management and catering people who took it from there. Very cute and reasonably priced wedding venue! Though if you want to do a big sit down thing, I imaging it would be difficult to have more than 80 people sit comfortably where everyone can see and hear each other. We did a cocktail party with no assigned seating, and this venue was absolutely stellar for that. read more

Not a fan of vibe, serving situation or the food. I will stick to Parkside Cafe next time.

I had an Uncle Pete's Omelette that is a scrumptuous delight! Eggs, Shrimps and Avocado...amazingly went well together....who would have though. The firepit was a great addition as it can get chilly on the willie most morns. read more

Didn't read the reviews below - not sure why they don't have a better rating, maybe they've recently switched their chef? My husband and I travel a lot and know good food. We expected it to be another beach town cafe where things are fried and kinda greasy etc. But. Food here was outstanding!! (I never use that word by the way lol) We stayed nearby for the weekend and eventually had breakfast, lunch and dinner there. Every meal food was fresh and delicious. Lots of flavor in every bite. So good! Must try! read more

Second time coming here and again it was a great experience...you walk in and the right side of the place has a very home like feel with a fire place going & couch seating by the window. You order your food at the front, get a number, & after a short wait my smoked salmon scramble with tomato, green onion, & gets arrived. My bf had the eggs benedict with ham, finished the plate. It's slow here now but summer time it gets busy around this area, so come now! read more

I had lunch here on a weekday with a friend. The menu had a special: Jumbo Shrimp with Classic New Orleans Remoulade sauce. When the food arrived, the sauce was not Remoulade, it was red cocktail sauce with some chopped green onions added, and the shrimp were tiny, not jumbo. When I took the food back to the counter and explained politely that this was not what I had ordered, I was passed along to another staffer, who passed me on to the chef, who apparently is the owner. He was unbelievably rude and basically tried to bully me, telling me I was wrong. I am FROM New Orleans and I know what Remoulade sauce is, and this was not it. He yelled at me and was very obnoxious. I told him I did not want an argument, I wanted something else to eat. DO NOT EAT HERE. Extremely overpriced and the owner is a jerk. read more

Samuel, If you are going to claim to state the "facts" get them right. You weren't there so I think it's fair to say that everything you stated is here-say. One fact you stated is indeed true - it was Mother's Day. Aside from that: - There were there tables available and one family in the line when the incident occurred - Jose clearly did not recognize that we were still working on our second meal there (my friend was still chewing on her last bite of lunch and I still had a cappachino in my cup that was hot) - My husband as appalled by Jose's behavior and called him and asshole in a volume that only our table heard. He did not drop the f-bomb. None of this changes the facts that your customer service stinks and we will never be back. The sad thing is - we use to be regulars here. In fact, if you go to your Facebook page, the only photo posted is that of my 2 month old daughter sitting in your restaurant back in February. Good luck with your business. with your practices, you won't be around long. Heck, even stellar restaurants in the Bay Area are shutting their doors in this economy - and they are good to their customers. read more

We stopped in here as it used to be very similar to Sand Dollar and we had always gotten the oyster shooters. Well, I guess they have since changed ownership (same owner as Sand Dollar now) and it has become Mexican. Not really a bad thing since variety would be good in Stinson Beach area. We got the fish tacos and the breakfast burrito with chorizo, potatoes and eggs. THe fish tacos were NOT worth ever ordering again. For $9.95 I got 2 tiny obviously frozen pieces of fish with some marinated red onions. That's it folks! No salsa. No rice and beens. 2 tiny fish tacos that I can get for $1 on a taco truck and get more toppings. Not even salsa was served with it! The burrito, however, was very good. I would order it again. It was a giant burrito filled with lots of meat and eggs and potatoes. Luckily, since I was still starving, I took a few bites of this to satisfy my hunger. I really think that they need to be a little more consistant about the serving sizes and think a little harder about those fish tacos...... I won't be back for them for sure! I'd stick with the burrito next time. read more

My sister and I took my mom here for a late mother's day lunch after surfing in Bolinas. We sat outside, where unfortunately the table cloths and chairs left much to be desired in the cleanliness department. My "grilled veggie panini" was unlike any panini I have ever experienced, and not in a good way. The bread was plain old sandwich bread that had been coated with butter on both sides and toasted. Inside was a disappointing little heap of grilled bell peppers, onions and tomatoes. It was so bizarre and not at all what I look for in a panini. The sis had the crunchy chopped salad, which is advertised to have mixed vegetables, avocado, lettuce, beans and feta. There were no vegetables to be seen in the sea of iceburg lettuce. She was very disappointed :( read more
