We had a nice lunch here while in Sausalito. They are located right on the water. As stated on their webpage, the restaurant is a beer hall and rotisserie located on Sausalito's waterfront, known for its communal atmosphere and craft beer selections. When we entered the restaurant we were warmly greeted. We studies the menu you on the wall before ordering. You order at the counter and then they give you a number to put on your table. When your food is ready, hey deliver it to your table. Both my husband and I ordered the 1/2 rotisserie chicken plate. You have a choice of a salsa verde or romanesco sauce to go with your chicken or pay an extra $1 for both sauces. I chose the both sauces and my husband chose the salsa verde. We also ordered a cup of the cream of asparagus soup, a side of cabbage and kale slaw and a straus creamery chocolate milkshake. The inside is spacious and has a lot of communal seating as well as smaller tables. They have seating on the deck by the water as well. We picked a table and enjoyed our view of the ocean while we waited for our food. Our food arrived hot and fresh. Everything looked so good. The cream of asparagus soup was my favorite of the whole meal. It tasted so good. Next time I'll opt for the bowl instead of the cup. The rotisserie chicken was hot and juicy. I'm guessing they give you the sauce because the chicken doesn't have much seasoning on it. I tried both sauces and didn't care for either one. The salsa verde did not taste good at all. It definitely didn't taste like any salsa verde I've had before. The romanesco sauce had no flavor. It was thick and pasty but tasted like nothing. I should have just added salt to my chicken. I ate the chicken regardless and it was good. It just needed some seasoning on it. Each chicken plate came with salad on the side, which was very good and roasted potatoes. The potatoes were amazing. My husband liked the cabbage and kale slaw and loved his chocolate milkshake. Service was very good here. They bussed our table for us when we were finished. I'd definitely come back again but I would try one of their many sandwich offerings. read more

I've been wanting to try the fried chicken sando for a long time and it was fantastic! Super crispy chicken with arugula and fennel on a toasted seeded bun. I got the chipotle aioli on the side. The fries were ok, I probably won't order them again. I got the lychee and guava drink which tasted good. A friend got the potato and leek soup which she devoured and another friend got the salad with rotisserie chicken. She loved it so much that she ate everything. I want to try the it next time. The indoor seating is a bit cramped. We sat inside since it was a chilly day. There is outdoor seating on the back deck next to the water and near the entrance along the side of the building. Parking is kind of a pain. There is parking next to the building but you have to download an app in order to pay for parking. There is free parking in the lot next to it but I decided to pay for metered parking on the main street. read more

Great place! Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. We sat outside with our dog. I got the half rotisserie chicken with potatoes, arugula salad and it came with a green and red sauce. My partner got the pork tacos. The tacos were really messy to eat and juicy/greasy. My chicken was good, not much flavor but you can tell quality ingredients. The red sauce was my favorite. We also got the hummus garden plate which was better than I anticipated the hummus was tasty and the pita chips were fantastic I love me a girl dinner plate for lunch! Highly recommend sitting outside by the boats for aesthetics. read more

We decided to check out Joinery in search of Best Day Brewing non-alc beer. They were very busy on a beautiful Saturday afternoon, but we were able to snag a table on the (dog-friendly) patio right away! The ambiance was awesome and we loved being right on the water. Unfortunately, they only had a two types of canned Best Day Brewing beer - nothing on tap. We got both the Hazy IPA and Kolsch, which were solid. For food, I chose the Burrata and Butternut Squash and my partner opted for the Joinery Burger. The Burrata was good, but not super memorable. My partner said his burger was awesome though. Service was quick and friendly. Overall, I'd happily return for the great patio vibes, but the search for non-alc beer on tap continues! read more

I came here for lunch one weekend afternoon. Line was out the door when I arrived 30 minutes after opening, but the line went fast and we got seated after ordering. Food came out pretty quickly after. The food here definitely describes California cuisine. I tried a variety of items, the 1/2 roasted chicken plate, fried chicken sandwich, porchetta sandwich and the dirty fries. 1/2 Roasted Chicken Plate came with a side of roasted potatoes, an argula salad, and a green sauce with half chicken. Chicken was moist but not salted enough, however, they do have condiments you can season with to your liking. Overall, decent portion size. Fried Chicken Sandwich: It had a good size fried chicken piece with a spicy aioli, shaved fennel and arugula. It was pretty well flavored and filling. The sandwich itself comes with no sides, so you would need to add on a side if you wanted to. Porchetta Sandwich: It had sliced pork with cracklings and drippings, some greens and a dressing on a ciabatta. Flavor was okay for me, a bit light. Dirty Fries: It is garlic fries with pork belly and cracklings. I wish there was more garlic and that that the cracklings would be crispy. But these are decent fries. Overall, this place is very family friendly and has a nice view to look out at. Variety of different items and food isn't too heavy. read more

1/2 chicken and fresh bread. I'm pretty sure that's the perfect meal. From the moment we walked in the door this place was pleasant: from the smell and the aesthetic to the friendly staff and then the delicious meal. Oh! And get an iced tea. Can't be explained, but it was the right move. If you're traveling through and want a lovely open-door atmosphere with flavorful food - look no further. read more

Good place to hang out with people and a counter service restaurant. They have some outdoor seating with views of the bay. Good selection of beers. I tried the porchetta sandwich and a salad. The entree salads are large and very tasty. There is no dedicated parking lot it is all paid in the front parking lot or the street. You can use the pay by phone parking app read more

I need to know what everyone is smoking to have this plave be the higjest reccomended eatery in the area. Don't get me wrong, the scenery is gorgeous, but the prices are exorbitant. Im from Vegas, the city built on screwing people out of their money, and I have never been served portions so small. This sandwich ($17) should be $16 max, and come with a side, even if that side is the miniscule 8-10 fries you get at our high end restaurants back home. As for the promotion of a small free beer after biking 8 miles to get here, yall should just put the ounces on the ticket directly, because this isnt a small beer. Its an 8oz half pour. A small beer is a 10oz pony. The food was good- the chicken sandwich was dry but the sauce did make up for it- but for the damn price you could get double at a fast casual spot. Also the 13 dollar pour of pinot noir is so light it tastes watery. If you like a red you should get the red blend or go elsewhere. read more

I LOVE the food here. Amazing sandwiches, crispy fries, and top it all off with a beautiful waterside view. I love the Porchetta sandwich, great combination of savory and fresh flavors! There are lemon slices inside to cut through the fattiness of the pork. Their chicken sandwich and burger are also phenomenal! Take the ferry over to Sausalito from SF and have a quick bite here, worth the trip every time! read more

I have been coming here for years but realized that I have not written a review! I love eating here on a warm day, as they have a roll up door that leads out to a bayfront patio so lots of fresh air and beautiful views. My favorites are the tuna, pulled pork, and fried chicken sandwiches and the tacos are tasty too. My go to drink order is the shandy and I like that they have It's It ice cream sandwiches when I am in the mood for dessert. Service is consistently fast and efficient. read more

Still a gem of a place in Sausalito. They even give you a little birthday $. Love this place. Fresh food, cool vibe, efficient servers, cleaners and even though there will likely be a line, it moves and we always find a table. Only bummer this time is that I wanted to try the tuna sandwich but they were out. Wish they had a smaller salad because it is huge and when you add a protein it ends up being kind of pricey $26-$28. But it's fresh and tasty, and if my partner would share, it would be a perfect shareable salad with something else. read more

The chicken sandwich was really good. I enjoyed their homemade ranch. The pulled pork tacos were underwhelming. The pork had some sort of sweetness to them, not sure what the flavor was, but, I didn't particularly care for it. Their fries were good. I'd try out more food items next time! read more

We thoroughly enjoyed our sunny summer weekday lunch at the Joinery as part of a day trip by car to Muir Woods, Sausalito, and Marin Headlands. At 12:40p on a Tuesday, there was a short line out the door, but it moved quickly, and we had our food by 12:58. The system is "fast casual" where you order at the counter and take a number to a table that you choose (1st come, 1st serve) from either indoor or outdoor options. We went for the outdoor option overlooking the gorgeous harbor and were lucky to snag a shaded biergarten-style 4 top at the north back corner of the building. Joinery is described as a gastropub, and I'd say that's right. Craft beers and super-fresh, high quality, homemade dishes using classic ingredients grown as close to home as possible is what they serve. People rave about the rotisserie chicken and salads. Prices are spendy but pretty normal for the SF-area. My expectations were high and I was not disappointed. My poached tombo tuna conserva on ciabatta roll was a *perfect* sandwich that I will never forget. The moist & mild white tuna portion was HUGE and the accompanying fresh produce, aioli, and vinaigrette were enough to push the whole thing to spectacular. My guys ordered burgers and fries, which they devoured with glee after our 6+ mile morning hike. My KSA Kolsh from Four Point Brewing served as an enjoyable appetizer and dessert for the meal. We loved the atmosphere here, a picturesque location filled with happy people who are living their best lives, for at least this hour. We saw lots of multi-generational families, international visitors speaking several languages, and cyclists who appeared to be on tours to Sausalito from SF. From the Joinery, we had a lovely stroll down the waterfront all the way over to Vina del Mar Park and back before we got back on the road for the rest of our scenic trip to the various Golden Gate viewpoints and around the headlands and up the 1 to Stinson Beach. All in all, a great day! read more

I'm so happy we decided to have lunch here when visiting the area. We had a lovely experience. Note that there is a pay lot, but if you pass through it, you can find free public parking. When you enter, a view of the kitchen is to the left, a large menu is on the wall in front, & to the right is the order counter. After we ordered, we were given a table number & shown the very organized self service area to get utensils, napkins, glasses, fillable bottles for water, & condiments for ourselves. Staff was efficient, helpful, & maintained a clean dining area. The restaurant has lots of seating at tables & high tops. Music plays. Large doors completely open a wall to outside patio seating & a nice view of docked boats on the water. We felt the chilly, fresh breeze inside & were glad we dressed in layers. Our lunch picks-- Pulled Pork Tacos--meaty, really tasty, accoutrements added layers of flavor & texture 1/2 Chicken Plate--a lot of food, juicy chicken, came with 2 appetizing sauces (romesco was smoky & smooth, salsa verde was bright & herbaceous), potatoes were creamy, a simply dressed arugula salad was fresh & acidic Kids Joinery Burger--beefy flavor, thick fries, the carrots & celery were appreciated by my kiddo, but the ranch was very dill-forward We would happily come back to eat here again! Delicious food in a pretty setting! read more

We came back today for lunch and it was pretty crowded at about 11:30. We shared a delicious porchetta sandwich and half a chicken with verde salsa. We also had a cabbage kale slaw which was not good. I do not recommend the cabbage kale slaw which has a lot of mayo and very little kale. It tastes sour like lemon juice and it would have benefited from having more kale in it. It's just basically a very plain cabbage salad with a lot of mayo and lemon juice. Not tasty and not healthy. I should have ordered the arugula potato chicken plate which would have been healthier, tastier and cheaper than adding slaw to the chicken ala carte. I'll order the poached tuna sandwich next time. read more

Delicious food, good portions and very filling, and great ambiance right on the water in Sausalito. The water definitely has times that it smells ~not so good~ though so beware, Half chicken plate, porchetta sandwich and brussel sprouts were all amazing options. It is a sit down but you order at a counter and are expected to bus your own plates at the end so not full service read more

We stopped by Joinery in Sausalito on a sunny afternoon, the kind of day that makes everything feel a little slower and softer. The fried chicken sandwich was golden and crisp, just the right balance of crunch and flavor. The falafel sandwich was fresh and bright, simple ingredients that somehow felt special. Their beer selection is impressive too, the kind of lineup that makes you want to sit down, take your time, and just enjoy where you are. The outdoor seating stole my heart. Right by the water, with sailboats drifting by and the sound of conversations mixing with the breeze, it's the sort of place that makes you want to stay for one more drink, one more bite. The dark chocolate pudding was the quiet surprise of the meal, rich, silky, and deeply comforting. Everything about this place feels easy and a little magical in that understated Sausalito way. read more

We stumbled upon Joinery late in the afternoon after trying to stop by few sandwich spots that had already closed. It ended up being a good last minute choice. The restaurant is right by the Sausalito waterfront, with both indoor/ outdoor seating and a relaxed, breezy vibe. It's ideal for a casual lunch or a beer stop with a view. Their menu has a nice range of salads, burgers, sandwiches, & beer selection. We got the Joinery Burger, which was highly recommended by the staff, + a side of house-made chips & guac. The burger was juicy and flavorful, the toasted sesame bun added a great touch. It's a bit on the smaller side for the price, but given the location and view, it's understandable. The chips were crisp, thick, and the guac tasted really fresh, simple but satisfying combo. This is a great spot if you're looking for something casual and easy by the water. Perfect for grabbing a light bite, a drink, and enjoying those Sausalito views. read more

While getting lost trying to find downtown Sausalito , I stumbled across this fun restaurant and so glad I did! The fried chicken sandwich just melted in my mouth, and the sauce perfectly complemented the flavor - highly recommend.. The pork tacos were also delicious, with just the right touch of spice. You can order and seat yourself where you like. The outdoor seating and ambience offers a beautiful view of the pier, especially on a clear day when you can see the city. They have a selection of beers on tap, you really can't go wrong with any choice. A perfect spot to relax, enjoy the view, and savor some truly great food. read more

We came here during lunchtime, the view is spectacular. You legit sit by the bay. The half chicken plate was literally huge. We were able to eat it between two people no problem. The chicken was cooked very well and seasoning was good. The salad was really good as well as the potatoes. Agua fresca was delicious. The chicken sandwich was a 10/10. The fries were also well Seasoned. I would definitely come back! Service was good. You do order at front and then sit down. They immediately clean up after you once you finish eating and the seating is definitely first come first serve. Also it is reasonably priced for Sausalito. Which is rare to find. Both plates were below $20 and were worth every penny. Worth coming here and checking it out. You won't be disappointed. read more

stopped in for lunch today after a hike in the Marin headlands, with the dogs so we needed outdoor seating. Joinery has plenty of outside seating with tables and backless benches. Our food was really good considering the casual setting. My spouse got a fried chicken sandwich, and I got the falafel plate, which had a lot of varied items on it. unfortunately, the pita chips were a little oily. We also got a side of garlic fries since the sandwich did not come with any. Total for two people with one nonalcoholic limeade was $58. Yes, that seems a little high, but but again the food was much better than expected. I think we'll be back! read more

Good spot for a lunch in Sausalito! You order at the counter and find a table after, plenty of seating inside! We ordered their fried chicken sandwich and porchetta sandwich. They definitely load it up on the meat for the porchetta sandwich - it had good flavor, with the lemon cutting a bit of the fattiness. The fried chicken sandwich was good as well, a nice touch with the seeded bun. The dirty fries were a bit too heavy for us with all the pork belly but was good nonetheless. We got our food pretty quick and there's self-serve water available. read more

First time here and this place did not disappoint! We got here right when it opened and ordered right away. You order at the front and pick somewhere to sit. We sat close to the open doors so we could see the water (I love restaurants on the water), you can sit outside by the water but it was a bit chilly when we were there. There is a help yourself station, mini plates, ketchup, hot sauce, cups, water (you can fill up a jug to keep at your table), silverware, napkins. Our food came out fast. Service was simple, easy and great. Food: The fried chicken sandwich with bacon was soo flavorful, one of our new favorite fried chicken sandwiches! The burger was delicious, we added bacon on to that as well and they were not shy on the bacon! The dirty fries were so yummy! read more

I was visiting Sausalito for the day and decided to visit for lunch not knowing it was a hot spot. It was a decent line when we walked up and almost no more seating outside which was fine with me since it was a little windy. I really like the large menu before the line to really decide what you want. The chicken sandwich was so big and crispy I only finished half. The salad was good too. Well made and enough of every ingredient. read more

Went here last Saturday on the hottest day of the year (so far) after a too long hike. Frankly I was prepared for the worst, line was out the door and water front establishments don't tend to put a lot of effort in on food when they're selling the waterfront. To our surprise the salads, tacos, and burger were all excellent. The tacos especially were spicy and smoky. I hate when pulled pork tastes like stainless steel and low effort, these are the opposite. Tons of smoky woody flavor and a good amount of spice on them. We tried 3 of the salads and everyone was again surprised at how fresh and complex the salads were. Super flavorful and very freshly made. Burrata & Butternut Squash was a stand out. Beers were excellent as well, nice array of draft options. It's great to have a contemporary place in Sausalito on the water for younger people to enjoy. I will upgrade to 5 stars when they add umbrellas/awning to the side of the building seating so we're not sitting in full sun. read more

The atmosphere here is so laid-back and unassuming. The food is always delicious and hot. The beer is always cold. My husband and I really enjoy lunches here and the service is wonderful read more

Good food, great location, and a fun place to bring dog and kids. The kids' chicken strips were high quality--we've tried a lot of chicken tenders!--fresh, quality chicken. I like that the kids meals automatically come with veggies and fries, rather than a choice of one (which will always be fries). I had the big summer salad, which was, indeed, big. And delicious. Loved the guacamole and grilled cheese. I only wish the tables were bigger--they're a tight fit even for four, and we were a party of six (at least two were small!) A great choice for a casual dinner with the best views. read more

Have been here a couple of times for lunch. The first time we got pork tacos and the chicken sandwich. Both were really good. The jalapeños on the tacos added just enough heat but wasn't overpowering. The second visit the order was two fried chicken sandwiches. Nice sized pieces of chicken breasts are used and fried to a good crispy breading. The chili aioli is very good but it does get the bun a little soggy. Also ordered the dirty fries, garlic and pork belly and cracklings. They don't hold back on the garlic, as anyone I talked to the rest of the day would probably agree. They have a large open dining room and a small outdoor patio. The place is very clean when we have been there. Service is quick and friendly. We will eat here again. read more

My friends and I came here for dinner on a Saturday evening. It was a gorgeous day out so all of the tables outside were taken and none of the tables inside. The restaurant is on the water, so the view outside is great. There was a line to order, but it moved as expected. Food: I ordered a burger with a veggie patty, fries and brussel sprouts. The burger came with caramelized onions and bleu cheese. It was absolutely delicious. The fries were standard, but good. The brussel sprouts were also good. My friend had the rotisserie chicken, and he thought it was fine. Service: The restaurant is fast-casual where you order at the counter, you're given a number, and the food is brought to your table. There are areas where silverware, water, napkins, and condiments are available. The food came out promptly as things were ready. TL;DR - Great view with good food if you can snag a seat outside on a nice day read more

This place is nicely situated next to the water with plenty of outdoor and indoor seating. Scanning their menu on the way in I immediately spotted my lunch meal. I just so happen to be a huge fan of porchetta and their menu had a porchetta sandwich. The sandwich was served on a fresh roll with a lemony mayo that was absolutely delicious. I enjoyed it with a Mexican coke which is made with real sugar not fructose corn syrup. Sitting outside here next to the water on a sunny day made for a perfect lunch. read more

Love the set-up for this eatery! There was a group of 9 of us and I loved the fact that you could order at the counter, pay for your own order, take a number, and have them bring the food to you. Sure makes paying the bill easier! I usually wouldn't order a hamburger while out to lunch with a group, but I figured, why not? I'm so glad I did! I cut the burger in half thinking I'd eat half and take the other half home... wrong!! It was so delicious that I ate the whole thing! It was so juicy and the bun was toasted, so it had a definite crunch to it. Whatever they put on it made it just the perfect burger! The onions came grilled and there were pickle slices, tomato, and lettuce. Have no idea why it was so different and delicious, but it was!! Everything else looked great, too, but it would be hard for me to order something other than the burger the next time I go... and there *will* be a next time! read more
