The beef was good on its own- amazing with the barbeque sauce. My son got the fried egg sando and loved the thick bacon. Then I saw this shiny chunky cake thing. They told me it was something monkey bread. I couldn't find it on the menu and they said it was on the very top: Caramel Bacon Monkey Bread. I was totally stuffed after my breakfast but I had to try it. They heated it up! It came out piping hot and I burned my tongue. Worth it! Bacony, chewy, sweet. I couldn't finish it so I brought it home and microwaved it the next day. Still awesome. You should get it.

I asked for six paper plates for our group, which ordered $150+ of food. Person who I assume was…read moreowner told me "the big plates cost me too much" and would only give me tiny 4" plates. I did mention our order size and she had no response. The minimum tip on the register is 18%. It's counter service only. I think we had probably tipped a hundred paper plates or so? Other employees were great, the owner (I assume) probably shouldn't interact with customers Food is decent, though I wouldn't go here again even without the service. Don't get the clam/scallop chowder.

We couldn't decide what to order at Fishetarian, so naturally... we ordered multiple things! And…read morehonestly, we're so glad we did because everything was cooked to absolute perfection. Fresh, flavorful, and delicious from start to finish. But whatever you do, DO NOT pass on the lobster roll! It was hands-down one of the highlights and absolutely worth ordering. Fishetarian is definitely a must-stop if you're looking for fresh seafood done right. We'll absolutely be back!

I have visited Fishetarian many times, and it is consistently amazing in every way! Everyone I know…read morewho has been there says the same thing. It is SO worth the drive to Bodega Bay! Here's the scoop: Everything they prepare is fresh and well done. Their fish and chips,and fish tacos lightly coated, fried to a delicate perfection. Moist, plump and delicious. The calamari is always done perfectly, never overcooked or chewy, but buttery soft. If you've never had calamari, try it here first and it is bound to set the bar too high for any other place you try it. You can order outside a kiosks, or get in line inside. There is a cooler of drinks (soda, kombucha, iced tea, etc) each for $5.00. The small but mighty menu is posted on the wall behind the register, and they do offer gluten free options. I usually share an order of fish and chips, or get the crab cakes which are very large, tender and filled with crab. Fries are offered with meals, or there is a delicious kale salad you can have instead, which is really yummy. Sweet treats like cookies, cheesecake, rice krispie bars etc are near the checkout register. They have sundries, and t-shirts which were moved to the porch and fun to look over. There is a fun "sauce station" near the exit, where you can fill small paper cups with tartar sauce, Maui Zowy sauce, cocktail sauce, etc, and a water dispenser with filtered water. Recently they completed a renovation, and expanded covered seating just behind the main building, open at both ends so the bay can be seen. There are heaters above the tables inside this area, perfect if the air is chilly. Also standing heater towers near the picnic tables in the front. They added a few more portable (higher end) portable toilets on site, which are kept super clean without any smell. And the staff are super helpful and patient ( like when you are ordering food and want it all and cannot decide what to get!). Eating at the Fishetarian is amazing and so worth the drive to the bay.

Glad we held out to get here. After traversing along the coast from Point Reyes National Seashore,…read morethis was a great spot to finally eat. Crab Sandwich- pricy for the portion but not for the taste. Absolutely incredible and one we will get all the time. Chowder- probably #2 all time chowders. Boston Sail Loft in Boston MA is my favorite but this place comes close. Sourdough bread- skippable. I was expecting it to be similar to Boudins but it paled in comparison Line moved quickly so don't let that deter you.

Would come back for the crab sandwiches! We stopped by early in the morning before heading back…read morehome, so unfortunately we couldn't order crab cakes to try. The New England clam chowder and Manhattan clam chowder were decent in my opinion. The soup was not too thick and I thought the Manhattan clam chowder could use more tomato base. The crab sandwiches however... WOW! One might say the sandwiches are a bit pricey, but I think it's justified with the amount of crab meat they give you. It was so good that I ordered another sandwich to-go for later. Parking was a bit of a hassle, but there were some spots available on the road behind the shop. Limited seating and I hear there's usually a line later in the day.

A friend and I recently had a short getaway to Bodega Bay, staying at Inn at the Tides (see their…read morereview). We decided to go to the Birds Cafe for lunch during the week. The menu is basic items you can find at most places in the area. We ordered fish and chips, and fish tacos from the walk up window. The only seating for the cafe is outside, however they also have a small coffee shop next door with indoor seating. Overall, the food was just mediocre. We have had these menu items at other places nearby, so we felt like we were able to make a good comparison. The fish in the fish and chips order was heavily breaded and over fried to the point that the breading was hard. Fries were average. My fish tacos had small pieces of fish that were heavily breaded and overly-fried. Large pieces of cabbage were scattered over them, and some sort of green sauce drizzled on the top. Not much taste. The tortillas were soft with good flavor. The venue is lovely, as is the gift shop and coffee shop, bathroom clean. I'd go back to the coffee and gift shop, but would pass on another meal from the cafe.

I highly recommend trying the crab cakes without the sauce first-- largely because they stand on their own, and the sauce may be for an acquired taste. The pizza is why I selected this spot, and it was fabulous. I love a wood fired pizza. The flavors were indulgent, but I didn't feel guilty for eating it bc it looks like it's made with clean, fresh ingredients. The service is fantastic-- they're friendly, warm, and on top of checking in to see how you're experiencing things. I love the location, views of the water. I went at sunset which was a great call. Parking is easy.
