    Tender chile verde with Peruvian beans and rice
    Jim M.

    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!

    Super burrito, enchiladas suizas, taco salad, chips and salsa.

    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.

    Fish and chips

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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?"

    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!

    The food is great here!…read more We stopped by just before closing time (6pm) on a Thursday evening, so there were only a few customers inside. The service was very quick. My wife ordered the Beer Batter Fried Oysters ($23.91), which had 6 large perfectly cooked oysters and french fries. The oysters were wonderful! (She shared some with me and I wholeheartedly agree that they rank among the best fried oysters I have ever tasted!)

There are so many delicious flavor options to choose from, and each one was packed with flavor. We also ordered the halibut fish and chips, which were outstanding. The coating was perfectly crispy, and the fish was flaky, fresh, and cooked to perfection. My friends chose the halibut fish tacos, which looked amazing and are a great lighter, healthier option. Since we were celebrating, I decided to splurge and order a bottle of bubbly. They offer a smaller bottle for around $50, but I got the standard bottle for $90, but it was the perfect addition to our meal and made the occasion feel extra special. The food, atmosphere, and beautiful Bodega Bay setting make this a place I would gladly return to again and again. If you're visiting the Bodega Bay area, this is definitely a must-stop destination!

The service was also good, but this restaurant excels most in its location. What an outstanding view of the bay! One of our waters did have a weird cloudy substance on the top so we did not keep drinking it.. we're curious what that was! The food took about twice as long as we expected for a quick breakfast, maybe 25 minutes?

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!
