Amazing gem in Bodega Bay. Our first time here and on a Friday night it was misty, coastal weather. Very Silent Hill, which I am a fan of. Started off at the bar. Contemplated getting the scorpion bowl but we went with cocktails instead. The ambiance from the bar to the deck to the inner restaurant was just so cozy. I was loving the vibes, especially on a cool misty night. Mix of couples, families, and friends as patrons. We got the Rocker Oysterfellers, and prawns (the appetizer stuffed with cheese!), I got the fish and chips and clam chowder, and oyster shooters. Everything was divine. Everyone in my group loved what we ordered, including drinks. The bread pudding and flourless chocolate cake were also to die for. Everything was spectacular. Will definitely be back! read more

Ten of us got a reservation for dinner here on a Saturday at 6pm; it was definitely needed as they were completely full! I believe we made the reservation a few weeks in advance. We ate a lot of food and all enjoyed a delicious meal, and our server was friendly, but I don't remember all of our dishes, but here's what I do remember: * Mixed Half Dozen Oysters - 4.5 stars. Super fresh. * Elote Oysters (Special) - didn't try! * Clam Chowder - 4 stars. * Wild King Salmon (Special) - 4.5 stars * Scorpion Bowl - 4 stars. This was strong and tasty and just about was the death of me (in a good way)! My split of dinner was $98.28 for the entrees and scorpion bowl. Dinner total was $475.93. read more

During a recent stay in Bodega Bay, my friend and I tried Rocker Oysterfeller's for the first time. Ate their 2 nights in a row in fact! Inside it feels warm and inviting. Dining room not too big, and even when busy, not overly noisy. There is also bar seating and seating outside on a deck overlooking the bay. Music was loud only in the waiting area up front. The menu is not huge, but diverse. Lots of items Cajun-related, blackened chicken, fish, shrimp. Some dishes with Louisiana grits. Not really my cup of tea. Lots of types of oysters, good news if you a fan. I am not:) Instead, I had the Summer Harvest Salad, both nights! The first night, it consisted of several types of greens, seasonal veggies, goat cheese (left mine off), sliced strawberries, and spiced toasted pepitas. Their vinaigrette was awesome - the first night it came dressed already and was a bit heavy handed. Second night I ordered it on the side, and it was perfect. Had the same salad the second night, this time with sliced apples, and a side of blackened chicken. Yummy! My friend had the bowl of clam chowder and side of seasonal veggies (that night it was broccolini), and both tasted great. He had a caesar salad which had large leaves of romaine and great croutons. We shared a Long Island Iced Tea, plenty of alcohol it it:))) The servers were attentive, and even indulged my love of their Jupiter Glassware in turquoise, finding me sources to buy it online. Overall, the food is eclectic, salads great, service outstanding, venue lovely overlooking the bay. Check it out! read more

Excellent service and food as expected. No real problems there. It was the flies that made us leave after the starter appetizer. Get some table fans. They really do work. Or at least turn on ceiling fan. When restaurant is not open, put up fly paper or something. It was gross. Too windy to sit outside. read more

I'd recommend probably going to the market next door for food - this spot was sit down, and a bit more disappointing food wise for a higher price. The clam chowder, their signature rocker oysterfellers, and captains platter were all very mediocre. The fried fish and chips and shrimp were somehow the worst part, as they were extremely over fried and rock solid. The calamari was probably the best part! read more

Decent seafood with a Cajun slant, mediocre service, beautiful location on the bay. We were seated at a window table and got to watch local fishermen unloading their boat while we ate. The standout food items we ordered were the fish and chips, and the garlic butter oysters. Unfortunately the oysters were poorly shucked leaving several flakes of shell to navigate around. I ordered the mussels, which turned out to be way spicier than I anticipated. It was served with a grilled wedge of sourdough that was slathered in garlic butter. My kid ordered the burger, which he said was OK. He still ate it all, even if he wasn't impressed. My wife ordered a clam chowder bowl, which she described as delicious but didn't have enough clams. We ordered 4 oysters on the half shell. Unfortunately the kitchen would not split the order with 2 of each variety. We were advised to order the 6 oyster platter which comes with 3 of each if we wanted to try different varieties. Who does that? Every other oyster bar I've ever been to is happy to mix and match oysters. The host at the front was flustered with the crowd when we entered. No smile, no hello, just 'how many?'. It took a real long time to get our drinks from the bar. They arrived after our oyster appitizer, even though we ordered them before. I had to flag our waiter down to request more ketchup for the kids. It was pricey for what it was. I'd probably go back again to give them another shot, just with lower expectations read more

I've been coming to Bodega Bay since moving to California when I was 8 years old -- so technically, I've been visiting for a few years!! I'm not telling you my age!! Let's say I'm a woman of a certain age!!! Whenever I visit a coastal town, I usually try to avoid the overly touristy spots because, while the views are often amazing, the food can sometimes be underwhelming. We found this place because of their extensive happy hour menu, and they absolutely did not disappoint! The customer service was straightforward and friendly. They weren't overly attentive or constantly checking on you, which I actually appreciate. There were a couple of times I had to wait a bit to order another cocktail, but honestly, it was completely understandable. The bartender was right there working hard, making cocktail after cocktail. It looked like they were extremely busy and possibly a little understaffed -- she definitely wasn't standing around ignoring customers. The happy hour food was fantastic! The fish tacos were delicious, the steak bites were full of flavor, and the shrimp served on top of bread with that sauce... oh my goodness. That sauce was the kind that makes your eyes roll back -- absolutely incredible! It's refreshing to find a place in a beautiful tourist destination that delivers both great food and a great experience. We will definitely be coming back! read more

Oh my goodness, took the vette out for a drive on the highway to bodega and randomly stopped at this cute little place!! Got seated for 2 right away over looking the water.. such a delight! Everyone was so nice and sweet!!! My friend had crab and I had a seasonal salad with shrimp added. Our server Sarah was so helpful and sweet!! Love her, give her a raise!! The salad was over dressed for me.. but the shrimp was amazing!! Will definitely go back.... read more

Stopped by on the way back from Mendocino! Service was pretty fast (Sunday 12pm), however food was alright. Got the Cajun pasta with blackened chicken, but the pasta was more creamy and lacked flavor. My friends got the Captains platter, and while the fish was great, the shrimp was over fried w/ way too much batter read more

Amazing service! We left and an hour later I was still raving about the service we received - my water glass was never empty, we had a backup water jug, and were even gifted some small bites of sea salt caramel ice cream to go with our dessert The food was also amazing, I got oysters to start and fish & chips for the main meal. Both delish! We split the sticky bread pudding and could've died after it was everything bread pudding should be read more

Solid Waterfront Spot Worth the Stop Great experience overall. The calamari was excellent -- easily a highlight of the meal. The fried fish and shrimp had a really tasty batter, though it ran a bit heavy. Service was quick and attentive, and you can't beat the ambiance sitting right on the water in Bodega Bay. We came through celebrating a friend's bachelor party weekend out of Sebastopol, and this was a great call for the group. Nothing fancy, just good food in a great setting. Would come back next time I'm in the area. read more

Topic: Rocker Oysterfeller's Date: 4/18/26 Quality: 9/10 Value: 7/10 Service: 6/10 Timeliness: 3/10 Atmosphere: 9/10 Total: 34/50 We came in at 8:05 on a Saturday and we were quoted a 30 minute wait, the wait was just under 40 minutes. The server was too busy so the busser ended up taking our entire order. They didn't refill our waters throughout the whole stay. Food was really good ! Everything else had a lot of room for improvement. Beachcomber: 5/10 Didn't taste/look like we expected Moscow Mule: 3/10 Just tasted like smelly vodka, we asked the server and she said the busser put it in wrong as a mezcal mule.

Service is great - we ate here 2 nights and had mostly great food. The wines by the bottle are exceptional and are served at the right temperature and priced very fairly - not overly charged - so order a nice wine and know that you're getting a deal. The fish and chips was good and the fried shrimp - all fresh and not greasy. We normally don't order fried food but this was really light and we were really hungry! The chowder was very good - had that on day one. Had the wedge salad both days and was nice Husband had the creole fisherman stew and loved that with the bread. Didn't love the calamari - wouldn't t order that again. Save room for the soft serve ice cream - we had a small one and it was awesome! Thank you to the staff here - they are exceptional read more

This was my second time at Oyster Rockerfeller's while staying in the Bodega Bay area. Expect a little wait especially on the weekends! If you have a large party though, you can call ahead for reservations. The ambience is nice with perfect views of the bay and a choice of indoor or outdoor dining. Service was friendly on a busy Saturday night. My husband and I shared the calamari appetizer, a cup of chowder and fish n chips. Everything was on point and I highly recommend the homemade fries that are cut and cooked wedge style. Bloody Mary was also delicious and hit the spot! read more

Probably the best oysters I've ever had! We started with the sampler platter so we could decide our favorite and then ordered more of the bodega gems. They were crisp, balanced, and very well shucked. We tried the rocker oysterfeller charbroiled oysters which were fine but the oyster really gets lost. I can see how that would be a plus for some people but I prefer raw oysters. Skip the clam chowder - too thin, tasted like pickles and the bacon overpowered everything. The calamari was excellent with a delicious tartar sauce. Would definitely come back here and I recommend it over the restaurant next door! read more

Restaurant Week 2026 Growing up in Sonoma County, we came out to [the old place] all the time but never ate in the restaurant. I had no idea Rocker Oysterfeller's had taken over and it was my first time eating there so I have NO comparison. Came here on a Sunday for lunch. We were immediately struck with the super casual, friendly and inviting vibe. The ENTIRE bar area was filled with patrons and it was only 11:30am. :) No reservations but lucked out with a great table near the window. That day was overcast and cloudy but for me, just beautiful. You're on the water! How can you not love the views!! Seals barking and the caws of birds remind you that you're in Bodega Bay. Started with cocktails - French 75 for me. I admit I was a bit thrown by the purple color but the flavor was very nice. Strong and lemony and had a nice amount of sparkle. Hubby's cranberry drink was less impressive but he follwed it with a delicious hazy from Old Caz. Nice that they feature our sonoma county breweries. We ordered grilled clams and then varying menus off the Restaurant Week offering. Garlic butter clams - they were all kinds of perfect! Clam chowder + BBQ Prawns for hubby, wedge salad + fish & chips for me. Clam chowder - creamy, bacony, plenty of clams. Prawns - I liked the flavor but for me, they were a bit dry. Wedge salad - PERFECT. Every bite was delcious and crunchy and fresh. I liked the crispy onion strings! Fish & chips - we were divided but ultimately it was my order and I'm the one who loved it. (he prefers crunchier) The fish was tender, batter flavorful, and those two were balanced. Service was professional and paced nicely. We were somehow seated in a grouping of chatty/friendly other patrons and it added to the incredibly enjoyable first time visit. I look forward to returning! read more

My girlfriend and I went here as part of our 2 year anniversary vacation to Bodega Bay and I must admit I underestimated Rocker Oysterfellers! I thought it was going to be a cliche cheesy over-the-top tourist restaurant, but it was the complete opposite. Does it get busy and filled with tourists, yes, but the decor is pleasant, the wait staff attentive, and the food and drinks were on point! We were both in that state where you're not super hungry but you should probably eat something. We got well made/ balanced cocktails, shrimp cocktail with what I believe were fried crackers, (their cocktail sauce is the real deal with real horseradish in it, this is the way cocktail sauce should be, other restaurants take notes). We also got raw oysters (glad to see they had a seperate menu for them listing species, size, etc), their namesake Oyster Rockerfeller (a bit of a let down unfortunately), my girl got the crab gazpacho (very tomato forward with big bits of real crab) and I got the Cajun Blackened Shrimp & Grits (Big Bay/ southern flavors in this, huge shrimp and creamy comforting grits). The irony is not lost on me, we ordered a lot of food for not being super hungry but it was well worth it! While there are many seafood restaurants in/ around Bodega Bay, this one is not to be missed! read more

We went on a Sunday night on a three day weekend. We got there at 6pm, it was busy and the wait was about 45 minutes. You can wait inside and get drinks from the bar while you wait The restaurant itself is nice and has outdoor seating with heat lamps and a fire pit. We sat inside because it was cold. It was a little loud inside but not overwhelming. A little baffling could go a long way to reduce the sound but it might affect the overall vibe so it is a hard call. I'm not a drinker but I love a virgin strawberry daiquiri. They unfortunately don't make blended drinks so I instead had a virgin mojito which was good. We had an appetizer and two mains. crab cakes - 9/10 - these were delicious, very nice with the remoulade and herb salad. This was much better than having it in the captain's platter captain's platter - 7/10 - good with a nice variety, shrimp and dipper fries were good, the calamari ok. local fish - 8/10 - I liked this more than my wife did. The fish for that day was swordfish. Swordfish is not my favorite but overall it was well prepared and had very nice flavors The highlight was the service. Maeve was great, she offered many suggestions was attentive but not intrusive, super friendly and an amazing server. 5 stars The food was 4 stars with some ups and downs. Averaging 4.5 but I will round up as the overall experience was good. Once again I apologize as my hunger overrides my photo taking urges. read more

The oysters were fresh, briny, and full of flavor. The clam chowder was rich, creamy, and comforting with generous chunks of clams.

We celebrated our anniversary in Bodega Bay, and this spot was our very first stop and it set the tone perfectly. The ambiance was dim and cozy, giving it a really romantic feel. To start, we ordered the sturgeon dip and their popular Rocker oysterfellers, which were a great way to kick off the meal. The lobster pot pie immediately caught our eye, and we're so glad we went for it! It was packed with lobster and potatoes and was incredibly comforting and delicious. We also tried the Starbird mussels, which came with garlic bread and were full of flavor. Service was great throughout our visit. The staff was attentive, checked in on us often, and kept our waters refilled. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and will definitely be back! read more

Came on Veterans Day since I had the day off. There was no hostess at the front and there were several people waiting to be seated so we decided to just sit the bar since the bartender was actually there. As we were waiting the bartender said she'd be right with us. Looked like she was covering the outside patio area as well as the bar so she was pretty busy. Anyways our bartender was great as she was busy as hell. The food was decent not amazing or bad. Wasn't a fan of the chips. They have a weird take on chips. The fish had a little too much batter for my liking. While we were eating we saw people leave that were waiting at the front since no one helped them. Overall the bartender was great but if we hadn't sat the bar we probably would've been ignored for a while. If they were like this on a midweek holiday I'd hate to see it when they are busy. read more

I had raw oysters for the first time in a quite while. I usually prefer them grilled, but these were so fresh! No fishy smell at all, absolutely delicious‼ To the lady at the bar: you were the only great one! However, I couldn't give 5 stars because the rest of the staff seemed really stressed even though the restaurant wasn't full. The service was unusually slow, and I honestly don't understand why it took that long. :( When we arrived, there was no greeting and we waited a while at the front counter with no acknowledgment, so we decided to sit at the bar instead. Honestly, it looked like our server was the only one really hustling taking care of both the bar and the patio. read more

We were welcomed as soon as we walked in! They seated us, and took our orders. Their service was fast and efficient. Our server was very sweet and kept checking in on us throughout the time! The restaurant was clean and the views were nice. I ordered the clam linguine- let me tell you- that was amazing. It was so creamy, it melted in my mouth. All i could do is close my eyes and smile with each bite. My boyfriend ordered the shrimp and grits- we never had savory grits before but my goodness! That was a surprise- very flavorful, melted in your mouth, very well seasoned and very creamy. We recommend both dishes! Stop by and give this restaurant some love. read more

Excellent food and service. Creole Fish stew was amazingly good. Oyster Rockerfella was great. Clam chowder was superb as well

We came in on a Sunday evening for dinner. Restaurant is nice, indoor seating with views of the water. Unfortunately Service was slow. Our drinks took extremely long. A beer, mixed drink, apple juice and sprite came out well after our food. Food was okay. Too much batter on the shrimp/fish. Oysters were fishy and not shucked well. Tbh we were pretty disappointed. We should have went to Fishetarian next door. I thought the food would be comparable but it's not. read more

Food & service were FIRE!!! But had to take a star off for all the flies hanging about. Like, thankfully we weren't fighting them off our food, but it does impact the vibe to have them as an audience next to you Anyhow, we had set the bar low based on past experiences, so am thinking they are now under new management. We ordered fisherman's stew, Captain's Platter, oysters, & the deviled eggs. The batter used for the fish & shrimp was so good! Just enhanced the flavors & great texture. The shrimp were HUGE & juicy. No complaints about any of our orders. The server was super nice, friendly, & offered up so great recommendations.
