    Steak Ranchero. Also came with corn or flour tortillas and also a small bag of chips.
    Shelly S.

    Have been a few times but first post. Placed an order to go for Steak Ranchero and Super Nachos with carnitas. Decided to try their Pineapple Coconut Margarita (not sure if that is the correct name or not as forgot to take a pic of the drink specials). Sat down and started to take a few sips of my drink, which tasted fabulous btw) and the waitress was already setting out food down in front of us. The restaurant was quaint and clean. They took cash but seemed better equipped to take credit cards. When we got the food back to our airbnb it was still piping hot and looked delicious. The Steak Ranchero was good but a little spicy for my dad. The nachos were really good but could have used a few more chips. They can also be shared as there was plenty for 2 people. Overall, would return and recommend. Would have given 5 stars but like I said above the nachos needed more chips.

    Always a consistently grand experience! The service staff is warm and welcoming. It's seems like you've just stopped by to have a meal with cherished family members. Lots of windows allowing you to enjoy nature, wildlife and beautiful sunsets. So many great things on the menu, but enjoy the chips and fresh made verde and roja salsas. A special desert this time was a fresh made cheesecake with raspberry coulee!

    During a girls weekend trip to Bodega Bay, we decided to come here because we were all craving chips and salsa. Its off the highway, not really hidden but if you blink you could miss it. There is plenty of parking. It was a Friday night and it was pretty busy for the dinner crowd, but luckily we were able to get seated right away inside. They had both indoor and outdoor options. My friends got the taco salad and the enchiladas suizas. I got the carne asada super burrito and we all shared the churros. Service was great, our food came out quickly. Our server was friendly and helpful when we asked her questions about the menu. I really loved their salsa roja that they served with the chips! The burrito was good, but nothing particular about it that made it stand out. The portion was big too with lots of fillings. My friends enjoyed their food. At the end of eating our entrees we decided to get dessert and we opted for the churros. I am not a big churro person, because normally you get the frozen and then warmed up variety, but these were authentic. It took a little while for the churros to come out because the server said that they were making them fresh, AND they were. Hot and filled with chocolate and with a serving of vanilla ice cream in the middle of the plate. They were delightful! We weren't rushed and we were able to have dinner in peace.

    Service was great, food came out fast, just missing that wow factor ... Had chile Verde and a wet burrito that were both great. We were the only patrons in the restaurant which was nice. Our server was a little overbearing but delivered great service. It was probably just because we were the only people in the restaurant. Good beer selection, wish there were more specialty cocktails. Overall, cool spot on the outskirts of Bodega Bay. Will probably return during my next visit to Bodega Bay!

    Fish and chips
    alexa c.

    I'm obsessed with this restaurant and frequently drive the hour + to get the crab enchiladas! There is some magic in this kitchen and the love & craft pours out of all their dishes. The fish and chips are also excellent - deep fried on a whole other level while the fish inside is so tender and juicy.

    We camped at the RV park behind this restaurant and at the spur-of-the-moment laziness attack, we decided not to cook and just walk over to this joint. Now, my friends had been to this place previously, but this was my first. I wasn't all that hungry, but once the food arrived, my buddy had the mole' dish, his wife the wet burrito and I the meat quesadilla, all were good. I consider myself a competent judge of (Anglo) Mexican cuisine living in San Francisco as we have a ton of very competitive south of the border eateries of various levels and this place can hold its own against the city-folks. My only criticism is their price, they charge beyond their pay grade, but then again, they're one of the only game in town which has very few players. So, I give them three-points as this place doesn't quite agree with me in terms of food/price value. The food is very good, but it comes at a steeper price than it should. P.S. My buddy's beef mole' came with a lot of great sauce, but to harken back to the 90's, "where's the beef?"

    skip this place. the mole poblanos and huevos rancheros we ordered were disappointing. the chicken in the mole was so dry, and the sauce was just sweet, lacking any real flavor. the huevos rancheros were also underwhelming and bland. we walked over without checking reviews and deeply regretted it -- should have stuck to the cafe next door.

    Chicken Quesadilla
    Mia K.

    This place is so freaking good, period. Just come here to eat. Every single time we come to Bodega Bay, we eat here. The food is so flavorful, fresh, and delicious. The service is amazing and their chips are so good! I don't know forsure but I think they are made there because they are so good and the green sauce with it is delish. You honestly can't go wrong with any dish here. Also my hubby got the special, half chicken, literally came right off the bone that's how soft it was and so much protein packed!

    Since we were staying upstairs at the Valley Ford Hotel, it was an easy decision to have dinner at…read moreRocker's Roadhouse. We're glad we did. We ordered the Coastal Tacos (rock cod) and Fried Chicken Sandwich. At first we were concerned that it might not be enough for us, but when the food came, we realized our worries were for naught. Both the tacos and the sandwich were quite large and also quite messy, but if a taco or fried chicken sandwich is not a little messy, it's probably not very good! The decor retains the flavor of the building's roots. I seem to recall reading that it was a stage coach stop (or railroad stop?) during an earlier life, which is completely believable since it was built in 1864. Rustic, but with some modern touches. We plan to stay at the Valley Ford Hotel again, and when we do, we'll wander down the stairs to Rocker's Roadhouse for dinner. I hope there's oyster Po' Boys on the menu by then!

Somewhere along the line yelp reviews for Rocker Oysterfeller in Valley Ford became yelp reviews for Rocker's Roadhouse prompting this update. Ages ago I happily awarded 5-stars to Rocker Oysterfeller but when I came to Rocker's Roadhouse for lunch on a recent Monday afternoon things were decidedly not 5-star. The bar area that one enters first had no patrons despite a table of dirty dishes remaining. When we announced we'd like to stay for lunch we were asked to wait while a table in the dining room was cleared. That's exactly what was cleared: one table in the dining room. There were two other tables of customers in the dining room and now a single clean table. Every other customer-free table in that room was stacked with dirty dishes left by previous customers. This wasn't just unappetizing. It was disgusting and we opted not to stay for lunch. I'm hoping this was some sort of aberrant situation as opposed to standard operating procedure. C'mon Rocker's Roadhouse, get your act together.

There's just one waitress. Extremely nice and friendly. We got to the Cafe at 1:30 P.M., and I was thankful to be given the option of breakfast or lunch. I chose breakfast and my partner, lunch. I always love small family owned and operated businesses (restaurants) and feel the majority of them serve the best meals. I had cream beef on homemade biscuits, with 2 sunny-side up eggs. My partner, grilled cheese sandwich with onion rings. I loved the onion rings as they were made with real onions and not that fake onion you find in most fastfood restaurants. Before taxes and tip, my meal was $18, and my partner's $17. I will definitely recommend this Cafe as you're driving up or down Highway-1.

The elderberry mimosa was also nice on this Sunday afternoon. Highly recommend Estero Cafe.
