    I've been here a handful of times yet realized I'd not left a review. Being a vegetarian it makes me happy to have veggie dogs & burgers on the menu. And, all orders come with fries....really good ones I must say. My "impossible" hot dog was yummy & there are plenty of toppings to choose from. The woman behind the counter was friendly. There are a few indoor & outdoor tables. Definitely not glamorous yet a good view of the Bodega tidal marsh.

    Today we went to the Dog House and ordered our usual. Two half pound burgers (one with Pepper Jack and one with Swiss), one with fries and one with onion rings. Our total came to $39. The employees were friendly as always. Our order took about 10 minutes to come out, which makes sense for a weekend. We don't live closeby anymore so it will probably be a while before we're back again.

    I have been wanting to try this place for a really long time because I am a fan of a good hot dog. We were extremely disappointed with everything we ordered. The hot dogs were decent at best, the Bacon Blue Cheese Burger had no flavor and their bacon tasted like plastic. And the Doggy Style Fries werent much better. Lets give them the benefit of the doubt that they had an off day with the quality of their food but at a $64 meal, will not be returning ever to find out.

    Quick and friendly service. The ambiance was great, the hot dogs and fries were delicious. Right next door great chocolate milkshakes. Little snacks for the puppy. Definitely would recommend the Dog House.

    I went here this past Saturday for work with my clients and co worker. The staff were friendly and kind. Nice view of the bay when sitting outside. I got a veggie hot dog with cheese fries and they were delicious! This was my first time here and I'll definitely be back for more. Very accommodating and super sweet employees.

    Great place to stop if you're traveling on Hwy 1 or visiting the Bodega Bay Area. This is my second time dining here and it was excellent both times. Today they were out of their vegan chili which was a bummer but I'll be stopping back by soon. Definitely recommend this business for good food, great customer service, clean restrooms, and what is most important for me VEGAN options

    Want a tight bite while driving, before or after surfing? Are the kids driving you nuts and you know food will give you at least 40 minutes of zen? The dog house is the place. Fast and friendly service, well priced. A well stocked condiment bar, beautiful view of the Bay and the hand cut fries are to die for.

    Simple and so tasty. Reasonable prices and food came out quick. Excellent burger and fries at high quality. Amd love the self-serve condiments, etc.

    Happy customer

    Love the doghouse the service was great and of course, so we're the hotdogs. We were lucky to be right down from the place. You won't be disappointed. We have to go back and try the other delicious food items.

    FOOD - Dog House Club: fried chicken patty with bacon and Jack cheese. So good! 5/5 -- Came with "all you can eat" fries but what they give you with the meal is more than enough. The fries were decent. 3.5/5 SERVICE: Fast and friendly. 4/5 FINAL THOUGHTS: I would come back! Good food and service!

    Do they still offer unlimited fries with a purchase?

    Yes! As of a few weeks ago, they were still offering unlimited fries. You just have to ask and they will give you another basket of fries.

We were greeted right away and we placed our order. My wife ordered the crab sandwich which was quite expensive at $28 and I ordered the fish tacos. We initially went for the clam chowder, but decided to order something different. The crab sandwich was very good, but could've been better if the bread wasn't toasted so much on the outside. The fish tacos were a bit dry but had plenty of fish. I'm always in search for fish tacos as good as the ones at Zazzle's in Petaluma! Unfortunately, they closed a while back and I haven't found fish tacos as good since! I think we will come back and try the breakfast next time.

Unlike other more popular restaurants in the area, no need to stand n an endless line which is great. Beautiful spot with great bay views unlike some other area restaurants with a more industrial setting. All the food was excellent. Crab sandwich was outstanding with a gorgeous bun, fantastic couscous and excellent pickled veggies on the side. Clam chowder was very good with a great hint of bacon in the savory broth intermixed with clams. The Rock Cod paella was deemed excellent and my brother in law vowed to get it again next time.

My wife had the Crab Cakes which she said weren't bad. For $32 you got two 2-3 ounce Crab Cakes with a topping that tasted like a citrussy mayonnaise. If this is all you order be prepared to still have stomach hunger growls when you leave. No bread...No small salad or coleslaw on the side ! I had the Clam Chowder which was fair. Could have been hotter! I prefer a chunkier Chowder and this was more pureed. The biggest chunks of anything where the bacon bits. Very little clam meat in my bowl. Where's the beef ??....In this case clams ! I ordered the bread for $5 extra and you received about 3 ounces worth of a toasted bread. We had a pint each of tap beer and our total bill was just shy of $75. We gave it a try but won't be back.​

We had a tasty lunch with raw oysters and a jalapeño mignonette sauce, smoked trout dip, and a bowl of the chowder. The smoked trout dip was pretty good with the chip and pickled onion (my least favorite dish). The raw oysters with the mignonette sauce were fantastic...we went for two rounds! My favorite chowder in Bodega Bay was Spud's, but I think this one knocked it out. I enjoyed the smoky flavor to it! Our kids aren't seafood fans so I really appreciated their kids menu that had butter & cheese pasta. Their Bloody Mary was solid as well! The following day, we had the Wedge Salad and calamari along with a bowl of chowder. The salad was crisp and the combination of ingredients was perfect with all the textures and flavors of the bacon, cherry tomatoes, shoe string onion rings, and blue cheese dressing...the best wedge salad I've ever had! I loved the lightness of the calamari batter as well! This is a nicely decorated and clean restaurant. It was romantic with the view of the bay. I felt the customer service was a little off, but eventually our servers were nicer as both lunches went on. There was a Hispanic man that was very friendly and kept our water filled. We enjoyed talking to him. The customers sure were friendly with lots of smiles towards our kids. This is my favorite Bodega Bay restaurant. I look forward to bringing family and friends.

And even better to know the food and drinks are as great as they always were! While staying with friends in this lovely golf community, we stopped at the Links at Bodega Harbour to check it out and decided to stay for dinner. The menus offered up some tasty sounding dishes! And they did not disappoint. Three of us ordered the crab cakes while two went for the traditional hamburger and fries. Everyone was happy with their choices. Crab cakes were on point! Lots of crab with little filler. Really rich and moist served with a light sauce, which complimented them so well. Hamburgers were big and juicy with lots of crispy fries. In the beverage department, I selected the Quivira Sauvignon Blanc, which was wonderful. You rarely see this winery on restaurant wine lists, so I was quite excited. It is so delightful and perfect with crab cakes. (Menu photos of everything are included.) By the time we were finished, every seat was filled. It is a small area with maybe 7 seats at the bar and a mixture of tables and high tops rounding out the rest of the room. Very cozy. A gorgeous view of the ocean and golf course, too, as the restaurant is on the second level of the building. Casual dining at its best! Alex and his helper were working hard. Five-star customer service for sure. Shout out to them both! I highly recommend Bluewater Lounge for a place to stop where you will have quality food, a full bar, and people who strive to give the highest customer experience to everyone! Open for dining Wednesday, Thursday (live music), Friday (bingo or live trivia), Saturday, and Sunday (brunch). (It's always smart to call for specific open hours.) Parking plentiful. Did I mention they give a nice wine pour too!!! Cheers!
