Boy have I been eating so unhealthy on this trip, but you know that because you are following. Is that part of the reason I am having so much fun? This did not disappoint. I did not think it was very spicy, but my daughter said it was too spicy for her. Good thing she ordered the mild version of garlic chicken; see below. Decent portions. Garlic Chicken - A more mild version of the above. But with rice and mac rather than fries. A slightly healthier version. Ahi Poke Bowl - My wife's choice. Generous portions, especially the tuna; thank you. Because this is raw, we "forced" ourselves to finish this dish first. So good. And to wash it down, supporting local, Sticky Finger IPA. Ambiance - Small local business. The food truck was parked in the rear of the building. Due to the rain, I did not take pictures. Plenty of mall parking. Open 5 days a week, 11:30am to 7pm; closed on Monday and Tuesday. Service - Counter service. Overall okay. Price - $62 + tip. Reasonably priced as we pretty much took an entree to-go. We are light eaters. Owner Comment - Aloha, congrats on your success since 2017; we will be back!

Great spot for lunch around Humboldt county. Have to check for their location on their social media…read moreas they're in a different spot every day. Takeout only so enjoy it on a nice day! Fish is high quality and the shoyu aloha was excellent. Great flavor and not too sweet. Crab salad and salmon poke were both spicy mayo based, but I thought it needed more spice. Overall, good quality fish and good quantity for what you pay. Nice to have a place like this in and around Arcata! Overall: 4.2/5

My friend took me here for lunch, and arriving around 11:30 was perfect bc we were seated…read moreimmediately. Shortly after, the sea of people started coming in, so we definitely timed that right. My friend had been raving about their clam chowder, so you already know that was going to be an absolute must. Then the host mentioned one of their specials was a BLT with heirloom tomatoes and basil aioli. Say less. She had me at BLT. I ordered a bowl of clam chowder and the BLT, while my friend went with the clam chowder bread bowl and a side salad. My chowder arrived well before my friend's bc they were still toasting her bread bowl. Unfortunately, enjoying my soup became a bit of a waiting game bc the soup spoon I was given was visibly dirty. I asked our server for a replacement, but it never came. By the time we asked another server for a spoon, my chowder had started cooling enough that a film was forming on top. Not exactly how I wanted to start my lunch. The chowder was still warm enough to enjoy. It was pretty flavorful, and I appreciated that there was a generous amount of clams. Nothing worse than potato chowder posing as clam chowder. Definitely not the case here. I also had a taste of my friend's bread bowl, and I can see why she enjoys that version. That garlic butter on the toasted bread definitely elevates things. Now, let's talk about that BLT. First off, I LOVE a great BLT. When our server brought mine out, my jaw dropped bc I was NOT expecting a double-decker sandwich. This thing was massive! I loved the use of heirloom tomatoes, but the basil aioli was a bit much for me. Each layer of bread had a hefty spread, and it completely overpowered the bacon. I eventually gave up on the sandwich as a whole and just ate the bacon and tomatoes. And that's when I realized they weren't using thick-cut bacon either. Next time, I'd definitely ask them to hold the basil aioli and give me good ol' mayo instead. Sometimes you just want your BLT to taste like a BLT. Despite a few misses with our lunch, I can appreciate what Trinidad Bay Eatery has going for it. It has that nostalgic, homey feel of a longtime mom and pop spot, and judging by the number of people waiting to be seated, they've clearly built themselves a following. Would I come back? Yes. There's enough on the menu that I'd be willing to give something else a try. And if that BLT special makes another appearance, I know exactly how I'm ordering it next time.

Update: Came back here after four years and this place has really gone downhill. We came as a party…read moreof 8 on a Saturday. Got sat down right away at 5:30. Asked about the happy hour and was told it's only at the bar and patio. Our table is literally between the bar and patio. Server said we can order at the bar and bring it to the table ourselves. Weird! At the bar, we waited patiently as there seemed to be a lot of confusion at the bar cashier and general chaos. There were swarms of flies EVERYWHERE. One even landed on my sister's face while talking! We finally got our drinks and he sent the tab back to the table anyway. What was the point of making us order at the bar? Even more weird! We ordered 6 oysters, but couldn't decide whether to get fresh or grilled. The server suggested both so my husband said sure. A dozen oysters came out. Way to upsell us. I tried to order a cocktail off of their menu and they were out of the ingredients on a Saturday night. I ordered grilled cheese off the bar menu for my four year old. They brought out pastrami panini instead. By the time the correct order came out, he was no longer interested in eating. Grilled cheese was untouched. There is only two bathroom stalls for both genders at this restaurant. One was out of order so there was only one working bathroom for both men and women. My four year old was bent over in pain waiting in line for the bathroom to open. Thankfully he didn't have an accident. When we left the restaurant, there were four people waiting in line to use the restroom. Yikes! After an hour of waiting for our entree to arrive, I was pretty annoyed, but the food was actually good so I was ready to brush all the other annoyances off. But then we asked for the check. The server says their system is down so they can only accept cash. We don't have enough cash to cover dinner for 8. After 15 minutes of waiting around, the server says she will take a check! We don't carry around our check book on vacation. After another 15 minutes of waiting, the server offers her personal Zelle. What a joke. No wonder there was so much confusion at the bar when we first sat down. It's been down this whole time and they never mentioned it! It would have been courteous of them to let us know BEFORE WE ORDERED that it was going to be cash only. Also, they took our credit card information when we made our reservation so they could have charged to it when the system was back up. The food was a lot better this time, but I'll never be back. It's too bad because the view really is gorgeous. The flies and bad service is enough of a turn off. We will keep an eye on our card statement to make sure they don't double charge us.

Upon recommendation for a great burger, we came here to try the food. It was later in the day,…read moreabout 7:30pm, two of us had the out and about burgers and, indeed, they were great! The meat was moist and tasty and well dressed with 1000 island, lettuce, tomatoes, and grilled onions. We got buns that had no sesame seeds, which did not disappoint us. I had the cheese and garlic fries. I thought they were a bit pricey, but the order was a decent sized portion that four of us shared. The garlic was sharp and tangy, and appeared to be raw. The cheese was more like a "nacho" cheese consistency. If I had to do it again, I would ask if there was an alternate type of cheese. The side salad was generous and fresh, with the standard dressing options (balsamic, ranch, honey mustard). We asked for the dressing on the side and they were okay with it. The cup of tomato basil soup was generous and tasty. This is an "order, pay, and pick up food" place. So, if you are eating in, have someone grab a table if it's crowded. We placed our orders, paid and gave a name for the order. We were later in the day, so there were tables available. Our name was called and we got up to pick up the food. There are metal forks and spoons (also plastic), napkins, and condiments across from the beverage machine. Burgers are served in baskets, the salads came in not-paper bowls, and the soup was in a melamine cup. The staff was friendly and efficient in an open seating set-up. We bussed our own plates.

Fish was panko breaded and fried which is different than the beer battered fried I'm used too. Fish could have used more seasoning and I like my fries a bit crispier.

Fish was flakey and the chimichurri gave a nice flavor and acidity. Staff was friendly and food was out fast. Overall: 3.5/5
