We stopped here on the way to the beach for some sandwiches and were met with the most unpleasant…read morewoman behind the counter. I asked how the ordering process for custom sandwiches worked. She looked at me rolled her eyes and looked up at where the menu was on the wall without saying a word. I lost my appetite and we ended up not eating them the only saving grace was a man who checked us out and was pleasant. Overall I could not tell you if they were good but the food environment was less than proper customer service.

This smart looking store has a lot of choices for wine, a nice well-stocked veggie section, all the stuff you'd find as a small corner store, a deli where fresh sandwiches and food are made, and best of all, a small ice cream counter. I suppose I admit that I'm an ice cream lover and they serve the Rainbow brand, a San Francisco product. It is a great joint, clean and everything is nicely presented. It's a great place should you need a place to take a break from your drive, stretch your legs and at the very least, a bathroom stop.

Great store on Highway 1!…read more Parking lot has a beautiful view of the ocean! Easy parking did us. There were a few open spots. They pack a lot into this smallish store. Fresh fruit & veggies, packaged goods. We couldn't find prices on some of what we were buying so we brought them to the register to ask. And some prices on the shelves were old. It's It ice cream sandwich for $3.49. Calypso lemonade for about the same price. Box of Mike & Ike's has 99 cents on the shelf but it was $3 or something. They take ApplePay so that makes it easy!

Apple Pay accepted, ATM inside as well…read more Such a good spot to stop by for sandwiches/snacks and super fast service. Seems like a lot of locals come here versus tourists. The turkey club was amazing, simple and perfect. The bacon was def thick and added that salty goodness to the sandwich. Ask for extra condiments maybe? The ham and Brie was toasted and just so warm and comforting

This was hands down the best beer battered gluten free fish and chips I've ever had. My husband…read moresaid it was delicious too and he couldn't even tell it was gf. They have gf churros with Carmel sauce...delicious! It's been 10 years since I've had a churro. Sweet potato fries were great. Customer service was excellent. They brought our pups water while we were eating on the deck. Incredible view of the bay from the deck with a nice atmosphere. If this place was in San Diego I would be a frequent diner! Thanks for the wonderful gluten free menu!!!

Fishetarian has won the Bohemian's Best of the North Bay (Best Chowder, Best Oysters, Best Outdoor Dining, Best Seafood Restaurant), and They also recently earned the Slow Food movement's "Snail of Approval" award for their commitment to sustainable, locally sourced ingredients. They also added an additional covered seating area right on the water which was definitely needed with their current crowds. Their picnic tables outside curate a perfect vibe. It is so dog friendly, and all the pups were so well behaved. Their merch and store is so cute with the most aesthetic branding. They also have cute cards, postcards they will mail for you, books, tinned fish, sweets, and other delicacies. They have a wall full of drinks, both alcoholic and not. They also have a variety of sauces to go with their fresh seafood. I had the fried fish tacos which is what I normally get. Juicy fish with a crispy beer batter atop a corn tortilla with slaw and tartar sauce. Great bite. You get to try the fish of the fish n chips without it being too heavy. My mom and I split a side of fries, and I am glad we did because they were delicious. Great flavor and cooked well. A little bigger of a cut than I normally like, but I actually thoroughly enjoyed them. We got some clam chowder to take home and have for dinner. It was delicious. Not too thick. It wasn't gelatinous at all, which is my main complaint with some clam chowders. The pieces of clam were larger than the average, and you could actually tell it was clam, not some mystery mush. In fact, the clams were delicious.

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!) I had a bowl of Portuguese Style Fish Stew ($10.38), which was a great tasting red broth, filled with lots of seafood of various types. Delicious! The seating areas are pretty basic, but you come here for the delicious food, not the decor.

The menu is straightforward and very coastal forward. I ordered the Baja fish tacos ($20). The beer battered rock cod comes topped with smashed avocado, cabbage, cilantro-lime crema + salsa verde. The rock cod was exceptionally good - it's meaty and flakey. The toppings were mild and the perfect complement to the fish. Apparently, the Dillon Beach Burger ($23) is famous and honestly, it's pretty good. It comes with fancy meat - Stemple Creek beef - sauce, lettuce, cheese, dill pickles + fries. I think I added Monterey Jack cheese (+3). This tasted like an elevated backyard burger in the best way possible. Delish. We had a really nice dinner experience. Even though we did come around 6:30, we in no way felt rushed to order or to eat quickly. Service was attentive and excellent. Ten out of ten.

This is a "what you see is what you get" kind of place. I do appreciate their authenticity…read more Only 5 items on the lunch order which made it very easy to order. You place your order at the bar and the person working the bar was a kick. I guess she thought we were city folks as we were asking what kind of wines they offered and such. When we inquired what kind of bread sandwiches were served on she said "just regular bread". The in interior of this restaurant/bar has animal heads displayed all throughout and knotty pine One orders at the bar and then has the option of dining inside or on the patio. As it was a very warm sunny day, we opted for the patio. While seated you can see the iconic church in Bodega, St. Teresa of Avila. I had the tuna melt with a bag of chips and a Diet Coke. The tuna melt was pretty darn good you can't beat the price with all three coming in at undef $15.

Middle section are tables and outside area has seating as well. Biggest thing to remember here is it is CASH only. The menu changes based off what's available - most are locally sourced ingredients. Rumor is the chef is a former Michelin star chef who wanted to live a quieter life- either way- the food is to die for. You can tell love and passion is put into each dish. We had the spaghetti and meatballs- still dreaming about the meatballs. Perfection. Stop in. Be patient. And talk to the staff- all super friendly.

We ordered both clam chowders, the seafood cocktail and crab sandwiches. The seafood was unbelievably fresh, the chowder was steaming hot (perfect for the cooler bodega weather) and despite the amount of food we ordered, I didn't feel overly heavy after our meal. Service was quick and efficient, you order and they hand you your food at the register. Overall, 10/10. If you're in Bodega Bay, Spud Point is totally worth the stop, you'll understand after the first bite.

The Manhattan clam chowder is equally impressive. Its vibrant tomato-based broth is silky, flavorful, and wonderfully heartwarming without overpowering the delicate sweetness of the clams.

One taste, and you'll understand why people happily queue up for a bowl.
