    The Marshall Store signage
    Rachel H.

    With Tony's backed up with lines spilling on to PCH, we headed to The Marshall Store. Laid back and rustic with outdoor-only seating on metal chairs and wood tables set on wood chips, the Marshall Store has counter ordering, and they later bring food out to your table. Outside you'll find a porta-potty bathroom set up, as operations here are rustic. This is a casual waterfront dining experience that is completely outside and works best on a sunny day. The seaside views are pretty, the clam chowder is creamy, and the shrimp po boy ($22) on a cheese jalapeño roll with pickled toppings is a solid order. They have a self service mini-frig with beer, half bottles of champagne, mini Frog's Leap Sauvignon Blanc and sodas. Our oysters Rockefeller somehow got lost on the counter for 30 minutes before staff found it, and comped the dish to us. We ate them and I unfortunately regretted it. They tasted good in the moment, but they led to nausea and an upset stomach. Super friendly staff, harbor and bay views, and fresh cut flowers slightly smoothed some of the rough edges. I probably should have known better than to eat cooked oysters that had cooled. Overall, a 2-3 out of 5.

    Wonderful pit stop along the 1 for seafood! Friendly service and relatively quick line! Plenty of seating available. - Clam chowder: loved the amount of herbs in this and the consistency was perfect - i liked how it was not goopy like other places do. Great clam flavor. - Cod sandwich: the focaccia was fluffy and the perfect thickness for the sandwich. The cod was seasoned nicely and overall a good balance with slaw filling

    Came here for the first time and it was AMAZING !!! Highly highly recommend!!! Service was good. But oysters was amazing !!

    Smoked oysters
    Eddi-ray C.

    One of the must go restaurants in tomales bay area. The smoked oysters are fantastic and I wish I could eat them everyday. Raw oysters are fresh and delicious, my only food complaint was the fish stew being surpringly bland for the amount of ingredients thrown in! They did provide hot sauce and lemon but honestly I don't think it improved it by much. We got there at a good time before lunch because driving by it afterwards, there was absolutely no parking and a line down the street. So be early! The views are great from the outdoor seating, just be sure to bring a jacket if you get cold easy.

    Pretty dive-y seafood place with a view! Parking can be tough with street parking on this tiny road, but its popularity shows it's worth it. It can get windy outside just fyi. The line moves quick and there's dock and outside seating. The veggie sandwich was surprisingly filling and fresh for my non meat eaters, but obviously this place is known for the oysters!

    My friends and I were visiting Tomales Bay for the weekend, and eating fresh oysters was on our bucket list. After finishing our morning hike at Tomales Bay Trailhead, we did a quick Google search and found that The Marshall Store was the nearest restaurant. What also appealed to us is that in addition to serving oysters, The Marshall Store offered heartier fare such as soups and sandwiches. We drove straight from the trailhead and arrived just after opening (~11:30 AM). There was a short line out the door, but it moved quickly, and we were able to place our orders in about 20 minutes. After ordering, we found a table in the covered patio outdoors, which is squeezed between the Bay and a two-lane road. Our food came out quickly, starting with two types of oysters - fresh and BBQ - as well as clam chowder, ceviche tostada, chorizo fish stew, shrimp po'boy, and trout salad.The fresh oysters were briny and tasted fresh-from-the-ocean, and the BBQ oysters (my favorite) were served warm with a unique smokiness that was enhanced by a savory red sauce. I split the shrimp po'boy and chorizo fish stew with my friend, and together, this was a substantial meal. The shrimp po'boy, one of the best I've ever tasted, consisted of fresh jalapeño cheese bread stuffed with jumbo, juicy shrimp and lots of crisp veggies. The chorizo fish stew was hearty and flavorful, although it cooled off quickly and was lukewarm by the time it was served. The meal overall was on the pricier side given the casual vibes of eating roadside, but all of the seafood was incredibly fresh, and portions were generous. Plus, it's nearly impossible to re-create the roadside/bayside dining experience anywhere other than Tomales Bay.

    I love Marshall for their fresh oysters. If you want raw or cooked oysters, Marshall has it! I couldn't go wrong with their food. I came here a few times and every time it has been consistently good food. When you arrive you enter a small entry doorway where you order first and the waiter comes and gives you your food. They have great service and wait staff. The only thing is challenging is finding seats because during the weekend it can get crowded with limited seating in the patio. The view is beautiful when the sunset hits the water and has a really nice scenery to take pictures. I definitely recommend the raw over the grilled. Some of the sauces can be overpowering which you can't control. The melted Brie cheese is so good on toasted bread. The smoked salmon was ok. It was a little salty when I tried it and I would skip it next time and just stick to oysters and their crab sandwich, or the melted Brie!

    A no frills joint specializing in seafood near Tomales Bay. We went here on a weekend and the line was out of the door. Tip: The upstairs (road level) and down stairs (a few steps below) share a kitchen, and the downstairs is usually less busy! A server told us about this when asked and we made our way downstairs. They have outdoor seating , and some tables are a bit shielded from the wind. We were lucky to snag one such table. You place your order at the counter and are given a number and the food is brought out to you. They are known for their fresh oysters on the half shell, and have a variety of cooked oysters as well. We got the crab roll with cucumbers and picked onions and carrots, clam chowder and fried fish tacos topped with coleslaw and a cilantro avocado sauce. The seafood was fresh and tasty, although the portions seem a bit small for the price you pay. They also have some drinks and soft serve ice creams.

    We love going to the Marshall Store for fresh oysters and a bowl of soup. Dress in layers as you never know if it's going to be cold and windy or just windy!

    I love a good hole in the wall... or in this case, a tent on the side of the road overlooking Tamales Bay. The Killpatrick Oysters were delicious. Pro tip, dunk your roasted bread into the savory juices left in the oyster shells. Friendly staff and beautiful views.

    Half Kilpatrick & half chorizo oysters
    Amanda M.

    This spot is a little off the beaten path but the food and views are well worth the detour, and a must-visit if you're planning a trip to the Point Reyes area. We ordered the clam chowder, a half dozen of the raw oysters, and a half dozen split between the chorizo and Kilpatrick oysters (when we couldn't decide between the two, they were nice enough to offer to split). Their clam chowder is our favorite in the Bay Area to date; it could've been slightly thicker in consistency, but there was a good proportion of clams and we loved the herby flavor. The raw oysters were fantastic! They were large and briny, and complemented well with their house-made sauce. We only wish we ordered more of these! We also enjoyed the chorizo and Kilpatrick oysters. Between the two, we both liked the Kilpatrick better as the chorizo was a little drier than anticipated (maybe lacking in a little extra butter), but we were glad to have tried both. The rustic sourdough side bread was also amazing! The crust was thick / crisp and the inside was incredibly soft and fluffy, with a little bit of butter inside. This spot is small, casual and peaceful! We really enjoyed sitting on the deck overlooking the water--Tomales Bay was calm and it was quiet out, even though there were several customers at The Marshall Store! We arrived right at 11 and a few people were already waiting outside for opening. This place is obviously popular because it started filling up fast!

    Swirl soft serve (full size split into two cups)
    Grace L.

    After our kayak camping trip, our guide recommended The Marshall Store down the road for some seafood. Some dishes were 10/10, and some were just alright. We sat outside on the patio to enjoy the stunning view on that clear, sunny day. We shared half a dozen of raw oysters, the grilled Kilpatrick oysters with garlic butter and bacon, and the grilled Chorizo oysters with chorizo butter. Each order came with fluffy garlic bread. All the oysters tasted fresh and succulent, and I'd recommend the raw ones over the grilled ones. The bacon flavor dominated the Kilpatrick. I enjoyed the blackened rock cod sandwich and chorizo fish stew a lot. However, the fish tacos were a bit bland, and the ceviche tostada was just fine (I prefer my fish to be in larger chunks for ceviche). The local water buffalo gelato soft serve split into two cups is the way to go. Although it tasted pretty similar to regular soft serve, it was a nice way to finish off the meal.

    Dog friendly patio?

    Yes, the covered seating area by the parking is dog friendly. That’s also where you have to sit if you purchase booze.

    Are there any other available outdoor seating besides the tent area?

    Yes. There's the downstairs section with umbrellas outside. Another place to order. Also, the upstairs waterfront along the outer perimeter of the restaurant

    How busy is it on Sunday? Should we arrive early before opening?

    It gets quite busy, there's almost always a wait. I would arrive as early as possible.

    Can we make reservations for 8?

    Unfortunately they do not take reservations, they operate first come first serve

    Is okay to bring your own alcohol?

    No. Outside alcohol or food is not allowed.

    Are they usually closed on Monday or Tuesday?thank you

    Closed Tuesdays only

    Are there still dollar oyster specials on Thursdays?

    They still call it dollar oysters but they are actually about 1.30 each when you get a dozen raw oysters.

    Can you bring dogs?

    When I was there, they were allowed in the outdoor seating.

We were sat immediately then waited over 7 minutes to be acknowledged and get water while people who came in after us were served. When our order was finally taken- fresh oysters, a beer, a spritzer a couple fish & chips and a Caesar salad, we once again watched those who were seated after us get their drinks and food before us. We waited about 10 minutes to receive our drinks and another 15 minutes after that to get the oysters. Several minutes after that, our main dishes arrived. No one really checked on us, refilled our waters or asked us if we needed anything. I finished my drink and would have gotten a 2nd if the waiter had bothered to ask. The waiter also left the empty oyster tray on the table, ice melting leaving a mess. I had to ask him to take it away although that is common sense for a seafood server. We ordered another round of oysters and after that I was really ready to go. Good food. Amazing view and location. Horrible service.

It's a good idea to download your maps ahead of time. Once you arrive, if you need to get connected, you can easily hop onto their guest WiFi--no password required! We had a great time dining outdoors, and the atmosphere is super welcoming for dog owners (there were plenty of pups around). The staff were all incredibly relaxed, friendly, and helpful, which really added to the experience. As for the food, the raw oysters were, as expected, incredibly fresh. We also ordered the clams and a half-dozen grilled oysters, both of which were highlights. We tried two orders of the "tin fish" options--the pickled oysters and the BBQ oysters--but I'd probably skip those next time; they weren't quite our favorite. It felt like the menu might have shrunk, but the core quality is still there. Really wish they add more sun umbrellas, especially for the smaller tables. Since it's entirely outdoor dining, a little extra shade would make the experience much more comfortable on a sunny day. Overall, a lovely spot to enjoy some of the best oysters around, just make sure you're prepared for the journey and the outdoor elements!

The drive itself is quite winding, which, if you're like my husband in his Porsche, you'll probably love lol. The staff were kind, and the property is very dog-friendly, making it a great place to spend a relaxing afternoon. One thing to keep in mind is that they don't offer the same full menu you'll find at other Hog Island locations. I also expected the oysters here to feel noticeably fresher since they're served right at the source, but I honestly found them to be just as fresh--and sometimes more thoughtfully presented--at their other locations. That said, the beautiful setting and overall experience still make this location well worth visiting at least once, especially on a sunny day with good company.

There was a generous amount of crab stuffed in a roll that came out warm. It wasn't too saucy and the sauce didn't overwhelm the taste of the crab meat. The roll was neither too dense or fluffy - has a bit of a crunch and bite to it. I think my favorite this morning was the Manhattan Clam Chowder though. Probably because it was a grey and chilly morning, so this bowl was really comforting. I like the mild tartness of the tomato base. There's also lots of chewy bits in the chowder from the seafood they add on there. It tasted really good! Last but not least, the shrimp cocktail. Taste was great, but I just wasn't feeling this for this morning. My partner liked it though! Fresh tasting little bites and the cocktail sauce was great in adding some extra tangy flavor. I'm glad we checked this off our list! Spud provided an awesome start to our morning. Of course I wouldn't mind having this again, but definitely not when there is a wait.
