Has been on my list for years and I finally made it! This place is very popular and known for their oysters. I was there about 30 minutes before opening and restaurant gets filled instantly so come early. Pro tip: you can order either upstairs or downstairs but you have to sit where you ordered. The line seems to be much shorter at the downstairs register - I also liked the seating in this area more. Great view and very high quality seafood with good portions. The smoked trout plate, crab sandwich, and fish sandwich were all very tasty. The clam chowder is standard and not noteworthy. The oysters were super fresh and a good size. Another pro tip: you can do a half portion of any of the oysters if you don't want a half dozen. Bathrooms are porter potty only.
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.
10/10! Love this place. The customer service was amazing and super informative. You order inside and find a table outside and they bring your food out. All the food was amazing from the oysters to the sandwiches. Super fresh and tasty. There is seating outside or on their patio with an ocean view. My favorite was the BBQ oysters and crab sandwich.
First time trying grilled oysters and they were AMAZING! I got the Rockefeller Oysters. So much flavor and fresh. The bread had very good garlic spread on it. My cousin got raw oysters but the mignonette could have been a little better and would enhance the taste of the raw oysters. The seating for big groups are a bit hard to find if you go during peak hours.
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 !!
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!
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.
The outdoor seating area gets filled up quickly so we sat inside. The bbq oysters were my favorite and I liked the garlic bread that came with it. The oysters are decent and fresh and I also liked the crab roll too but wish they would've filled up the crab roll all the way. Wasn't a fan of the cucumbers in it didn't really fuse together tbh. The clam chowder was really underwhelming and liquidy I prefer it thick and also there wasn't much taste. Ceviche tostadas were ok...too acidic. Super overpriced here too so not really worth it. The bathrooms were essentially portable toilets, and the sinks were also temporary/disposable-style setups. I understand this is a more casual, roadside-style seafood spot, but considering the prices--$25 for six oysters and around $34 for a crab roll--I expected the customer facilities to be a little more substantial. At these prices, I think having a proper restroom and sink setup would make for a much better overall dining experience.
Food: 9/10 Service: 9/10 Ambiance: 9/10 They just opened up their downstairs patio. It's sooo cute. Must try: barbecue sauce oysters!
Food was okay. First time here. Service was good. It was very busy when we went. We sat outside it was a nice sunny day. Could get chilly out of no where! Bring a jacket. Will definitely go back again and try something else on the menu.

Came on a holiday and it was busy! Be warned: there is little to no service in the area so just be prepared. There's two places you can order, but wherever you order is where you have to sit (upstairs vs downstairs). Most of the seating is outdoors with a nice view of the water. There was a line to order but it went by quickly. Didn't wait too long to get the food and overall the food was great! Oysters were very very fresh. read more

Good oysters and worth the drive to visit! Oysters were super fresh and refreshing. No complaints other than I wish it weren't portapotties there as restrooms. I was too scared to use them after a group of men told me it smelled terrible and to hold my breath haha. Other than that, the staff were great and the oysters were amazing!! Parking might be a tad difficult, but not impossible. read more

The worst part was having to shuck my own oysters when I drove 2.5 hrs to try this place. Service was friendly. Nice outdoors area for sitting and enjoying the beautiful day. Raw oysters- hellish, never ever will I go somewhere to pay to shuck my own oysters Shrimp- juicy and perfect Oysters rockafella- good Crab sandwich- good Clam chowder- delicious (so good with the bread from the oysters rockafella) Glad I had my own water, their water fountain didn't work while we were there. read more

I've always wanted to go try the Marshall Store and finally went out there to do so. I drove from Sacramento to Point Reyes to Bodega Bay. The oysters were super fresh and tasted fantastic. I'll be dreaming about going again. The service was wonderful and quick. It was also surprisingly well kept and had a great view. read more

Stumbled upon this nice little restaurant on the side of the road. We were just looking for a small bite, so we just ordered the ceviche tostadas and raw oysters. Food is a little on the pricier side but reasonable given the quality. A decent spot to stop by if you're in the area! read more

There was a long line when we got there, but the restaurant has a larger capacity than it seems and we got in after about a 15 minute wait. The food was surprisingly elegant and the view was spectacular and lovely. The oysters (from Tomales Bay Oysters which is the same company as Marshall Store) were the best I've had in a while. My shrimp ceviche was delish and beautiful. Smoked trout salad was also excellent, with very fresh lettuce. We had a great mite and the service was great too ... read more

I came at last minute, not many customers there. The food is served fast. As you can see my sandwich has hella crab, the crab is fresh. If you prefer to have your dish full of flavor (just like me), I totally recommend stuff as much as pickles also don't forget the hot sauce, you will be surprised by how much tastier it is. read more
A wonderful gem in Marshall, California! Dine here for some hearty seafood overlooking the beautiful Tomales Bay! The weather can be a bit unpredictable and suggest you bring some blankets, a jacket and/or a beanie to keep your head warm or hair from flying in the wind. The seafood is amazing and if you're indecisive choose one because you cannot go wrong! There are a plethora of raw and cooked oysters that suit your fancy. My favorite is the cold raw oysters! The Lobster roll was good but lacked a little seasoning. The Clam chowder is creamy and had loads of clams and potatoes. Another group favorite was the fish tacos! The seating is sparse and going early is recommended. Counter service was nice and staff were friendly. No shortage of quality and the best quality! Enjoy! read more

Stopped here for the first time and we were so happy we did. Raw oysters were so good and fresh. The sauce they serve with the oysters was. VERY good. We also had chorizo oysters and they were really good as well the crusty bread they served with it was good and dipping in the left over juices in the oysters was delicious. We also shared the crab sandwich and it was the best I have had. Friendly helpful staff! So yourself a favor and stop by. read more

I came to the Marshall store on a Tuesday, which is a shuck your own oyster day. My boyfriend and I are not very skilled at doing this type of thing, so Anthony came out to help us, even though there was a line outside the door! He was so sweet for that, and I am so grateful to him. Earlier, he very graciously explained to me what types of oysters they caught that day, the different flavors of them, and his recommendations. We ended up loving all of them, and it was so much fun. My recommendation is to come early, (most places and Marshall close at four which means they might even start cleaning around three) and on a weekend if you don't know how to be a competent oyster shucker! Then go oyster hopping, cheese tasting, etc! It's a great way to spend a day. read more
Always a good set of oysters at the Marshall store! Love the oysters any style, but I do love Rockefeller. The shrimp poboy was delicious as well! Certainly worth a shot if you're driving by. Grab a beer or wine and some oysters and some of the garlic bread and you won't be mad. The staff is very nice and helpful. The ambiance is very casual, dress warm for outdoor seating! read more

Such a great place to get some oysters and chowder. It's a smaller store but has such friendly staff. You can sit outside near the water with a beautiful view. The Marshall store is always a stop for us when we are in the area. read more
On a sunny windy Saturday, we stopped by the Marshall store with our dog for lunch. It was crowded but we were able to find a table outside under the tents by the bay along the main road. Food arrived quickly and it was amazing. We ordered baked Brie, smoked trout and blackened cod with six oysters. It was just the two of us and we were hungry! Staffs were busy like working bees and they were very attentive to customers. Our dog enjoyed her time socializing with other dogs and so did us dog owners. We will definitely be back! read more
Fast and easy service. i recommend to just come for the oysters. The fish tacos are not it. Interior is crowded and tight. Bars only. They have seating outisde along the edge with warmers. Got there right when they opened on a rainy day and there was a line out the door. Get there early. Will definitely be back! read more
Lunch with a view! Highly recommend this local gem that you don't want to miss out! If you're a big fan of oysters, you'll find a variety of options here, prepared in different ways--raw, grilled, or smoked. If seafood isn't your thing, they also offer a selection of sandwiches. My favorite? Their house-smoked tri-tip. Omg, SO GOOD! From the nicely textured bread to the juicy meat and tangy pickles, every bite was packed with flavor and perfectly balanced. While eating, I loved zoning out and soaking in the beautiful view right in front of me. read more

We took a trip to the Point Reyes area for my sister-in-law's birthday weekend bonanza and stumbled upon this charming little oyster spot. With ample outdoor seating right by the water, it's a perfect place to enjoy some fresh air and stunning views. You order inside, and the food magically appears at your table--no long waits, which was a blessing since our stomachs were staging a protest. The menu is like an all-you-can-eat dream come true. We dove into a sandwich so colossal it could've fed a small army, clam chowder, broiled oysters, a smoked trout plate, pickles, tostadas, and, of course, wine. Everything was scrumptious and hit the spot. We'll definitely be back for round two of this seafood feast! read more
A visiting friend asked if we could meet at The Marshall Store recently, on a cool moody day in between storms. I'm not a big oyster eater so I've never gone out of my way to visit, but I love being near the coast and trying new-to-me places, so I bundled up for a fun day of adventure. The Marshall Store is a casual seafood shack along coastal Highway 1 with views of Tomales Bay...pretty, even on a grey, moody day. The Store is known for their oysters, which come from their own farm, which is pretty cool. I've heard that their oysters are among the best around, but funnily, neither of us tried them. I was happy to see non-seafood and vegetarian options on the menu, as well as beer and wine. We both opted for other menu items and thought they were pretty good. My friend got the pulled pork sandwich. It was large and she only ate half. I got the daily special: 2 shrimp tacos. Super simple, fresh, and clean, including fresh greens. Just what I needed. We sat outside on the deck, enjoying the sights and sounds of the Bay. There are a few indoor seats and there's a tented area along the coast between the store and the parking. Two notes: 1. The only bathroom option is a porta potty. We found this at a lot of coastal spots. 2. Be careful when backing out of the parking spots onto Highway 1 as visitors are often walking by and cars/cyclists are flying by on the narrow road. If you have time after visiting The Marshall Store, continue driving south to explore the charming town of Point Reyes Station. read more
The Marshall Store is a local seafood eatery that is dog friendly that my husband, our little girl dog and I decided to stop by for lunch on a road trip, passing through Tamales Bay. We were lucky to find a parking spot on a Thursday, around 12:30 pm, as we ended up getting one of the last parking spots. When we walked inside and looked over the menu, we ended up ordering: Rockefeller, $26 prior to tax- This comes in an order of 6 and a side of grilled garlic bread. The oysters are cooked with a garlic butter and topped with cheese, spinach and toasted bread crumbs. The oysters were delicious. Both my husband and I enjoyed eating each oyster. The garlic bread was also very nice and wished I had more of it (in addition to the oysters). Raw Oysters, $2 each (prior to tax)- We ordered 6 of these. These oysters were good. They tasted nice and fresh and are a fair price for them. House Salad, $10 prior to tax- This is a good size for 2 to share or as a large size for one. I got my dressing on the side. The salad was fresh and was nice to have some greens with our meal. --------------------------- (Total= $53.44 after tax & convenience fee paying with credit card) We actually didn't know there was a convenience credit card fee and would have paid with cash if we had known. Wait time for our fresh oysters were brought out within 5 minutes after paying for our item and sitting down. There are tables outside in the front and back to sit with the view of the water. However, all seating is directly in the sun. Also there were a lot of flies and bees all over. I had to constantly wave my hands around to shoo them away, which was rather annoying. If you came by during the winter or on a cold day, maybe they wouldn't be there but there were a lot of them constantly flying around our table and other patrons. We ended up taking our salad to go and eating it on our drive because of all those insects. Overall, I did enjoy the food and think this is a great stop for a nice lunch. But hopefully you won't have uninvited pests at your meal. read more

We waited for about 30 minutes to get our food, it was probably because they were packed. This restaurant has 2 outdoor seating areas. "Upstairs" and "downstairs". They have a sign that you have to sit where you ordered, maybe so its easier for the server to find you. The tri-tip sandwich is good for sharing. It is big and you'll get full with just half. The tri tip itself was delicious if you eat it alone, but because the crunchy bread is big, with thick lettuce, I could not taste much of the deliciousness of the tri tip when eaten in a sandwich. (Please note...this is coming from a gal who loves meat and not much a vegetable person.) I find the rockefeller a little dry and the sauce seems to overpower the taste of the oyster. The raw oyster is what we came here for... fresh and briny...perfection! I could not just accept that it is $4/piece here. read more

I was visiting Petaluma and looking for was craving some oysters. I did a quick search and saw this place had raving reviews, so I decided to head on over. Parking was limited but I got lucky enough to snag a spot as soon as someone was leaving. Walking up, I saw a lot of outdoor seating but this place was super busy. Got in line to place an order and was warmly welcomed by the girl taking my order. Provided my name and found a seat inside overlooking the bay. Very quaint! Onto the oysters, I ordered half a dozen Rockefeller, and half a dozen raw. The Rockefeller oysters were AMAZING! Almost everytime I see them on a menu, I'll try them. But these one took the cake by far. The raw oysters were also super fresh and hit the spot. If ever in the area again, I'd definitely stop by! read more
Did I make a trip out to Tomales Bay/Point Reyes for the freshest, juiciest oysters? Two Y's: YES and YOLO. Waited in line outside while it was raining and have no regrets. (I may have the sniffles but YOLO). We ordered 12 raw oysters, the Kilpatrick, Rockefeller, and clam chowder. This was perfect for 2 people. The BBQ oysters were insanely good and full of flavor. Prob the best bbq oysters I've had in a very long time. The raw oysters were the best to shhhhhlurp. Even with all these oysters I still could have ate another dozen. Oh and the garlic bread that comes with the bbq oysters are worth every carb. Dip it in the clam chowder too to really make your tummy happy. Totally worth the wait and drive. I want to go back already! read more

2/22/2025 Sat Lunch We did a restaurant hop after finishing lunch at Tony's Seafood. On a beautiful day I'd suggested sitting outside where they have some chairs set in front of the wooden railings. They also have a tent on the right side of the store with barrel tables and chairs. I prefer the wooden railing overlooking the Tomales Bay. Parking is limited. You just park along the road. You walk into the store place your order and grab a seat. Rockerfeller @ $28/6 pcs Grilled oysters, cooked with our garlic butter, local Toma cheese, parmesan cheese, spinach, and topped with breadcrumbs. Served with a side of our grilled garlic bread. - Just the right size of oysters, not too small that you don't get any substance out of them. Good garlicky flavor that we used the bread to soak up the goody. Local soft serve ice cream (swirl - vanilla and Chocolate) @ $6.50 - Local Soft Serve from Double 8 Dairy, choice of Vanilla or Chocolate, or Swirl. Local Water Buffalo Gelato. - I had buffalo milk made ice cream in Spain and it's like no other, creamy and velvety get it whenever you see buffalo milk ice cream. Worth a day trip up from the Bay Area! read more

So I think I've been to all the seafood eateries/shacks along this stretch of Highway 1 that hugs the southside of Tomales Bay. There are 2 main oyster companies out here and both have their eateries. Hog Island has Tony's if you want more of a restaurant vibe than say picnic. And Tomales Bay Oyster Co. has this place, as their farm is just a rural oyster farm. I don't even think they allow people to picnic there anymore as it just produced too much of a mess. But they've got The Marshall Store now as an outlet for people who want prepared food. Finally got to try, even though I've gotten oysters from their farm, many, many times. This place is more of a roadside shack, than say Tony's, which has more upscale vibes. Tony's has table service and more conventional bathrooms. Here you order at the register, and everything gets brought out. And the bathrooms here are porta-potties with washing stations. But the pricing here is comparable to Tony's, so you do you with that info. What's good for one may not be for another. Not a fan of this type of ordering, but I got in line. It just seems like in this style there is more round around for the consumer. LIke in table service, they'll usually ask you what you want to drink first so it is out of the way. Here I was almost ready to pay, then asked what their options for drinks are, as it wasn't listed anywhere. Cashier points to a fridge below the counter and says take your pick. There's some seating indoors but because it is a shack, it gets stuffy in there. Most of the seating is outdoors right on the bay, great friggin' views. But their seats are those cheapie metal stools, and I think every table is a high top or a counter. Not comfy at all. Maybe it is to get people in and out without much lingering, as traffic flows here. Chorizo Fish Stew ($13/4*) Decent sized bowl, not a tiny little cup. Great broth balanced with tomato, seafood stock and chorizo. Need zero adjustments, maybe a few drops of squeezed lemon. Broth itself was not thick but made thick with all the broken seafood dispersed throughout. I didn't like the look of it as it was all mushy lookin', but it sure tasted really good. I think the more fancier places will add the fish and shrimp chunks per order so it flash cooks and stays intact. Here it looks like the fish gets cooked all at once and probably gets more broken as it sits. Oysters Rockefeller ($27 for 6/4*) I rarely will order cooked oysters if raw oysters are to be had. But I wanted to try something new, so I went here. They do use bigger oysters for their grilling preps so you do still get a quite meaty bite. I often stayed away from this dish as many restaurants put a white sauce with their spinach and always just felt it was way too heavy for such a delicate shellfish. But here they just use a tasty sauteed spinach, some parm and breadcrumbs. Then they'll cook the oyster with garlic butter and allow everything to meld. And for that pricey $27 for a half dozen plate, they do give you a monster portion of garlic bread, like what seems like half of one of those round artisanal loaves. There was so much bread that I only ate half and packed the rest for my camp dinner that night. And this bread was so hearty that the crust was crazy hard. I love a thick robust crust on a bread, but this was on the extreme side. I actually ripped the crust into smaller chunks and threw it into my soup to soften. It sure softened it and made the soup very filling. So I turned an iffy situation into a delcious one. Lol Smoked Trout Plate ($24/3.5*) I got this for take-away as to have it for dinner at the campsite later. Very legit trout, both in portion and in quality. Seemed like a cold smoke as the trout remained velvet smooth with a nice kiss of smoke. If I can find out who supplies them of this trout, I would order it for my home. Now outside of that trout, everything else was just meh. A small scoop of a creamy white cheese (fromage blanc), which I liked the texture, but it is one bland cheese. At least commercial cream cheese has tang and salt. The crostinis were a decent vehicle but I used my leftover garlic bread, since I had it, a much better vehicle. And this came with 3 types of pickled veggies, carrots, onions and actual bread n butter pickle chips. Kind of an overload on things tart for just one piece of trout. So, trout awesome, everything else just meh. I'd still come back tho cuz there are other things I'd like to try. And depending on the day you come, somethings may be here, while other times not. Like I saw a crab sandwich online but not the day I went. I think I'd prefer Tony's over this place as I prefer more of a full service restaurant experience, but I'd come here as a strong second choice. read more

I've been meaning to come here for a long time to try their crab sandwich, yet every time I do I haven't been able to find parking so usually end up some place nearby instead. Yesterday was the day. The crab sandwich was great, freshly baked bread, cucumber, pickled onions and carrots were an added bonus. The thing that surprised me and were out of this world were the Oysters Rockefeller and garlic bread. The bread was fresh, light and airy. I couldn't eat it all so took it for my cousin to eat when we met up later and she said she thought it was the best garlic bread she had ever had in her life! I am still dreaming about those oysters though. Made with fresh spinach and local cheese, they were the perfect temperature. We also had a perfect view, right on the water. There was a line when we got there but it moved fast and was well worth it. We left full and happy and will be back again. read more

Overall B+: The food delicious, restaurant clean and lovely decorated, view amazing. Oysters (bit pricey), fish tacos big portioned, on a weekend lunch. Definitely coming back. read more
A tasty stop on a beautiful September day. We got lucky with a parking spot and walked right in with no line. Maybe it was our lucky day!!! We planned for oysters but the black cod sandwich special also caught our eyes. We placed our order, grabbed our number, and found a seat under the tent. The view is always beautiful. Barbecue oysters are served with delicious garlic bread. I could have stopped there but of course we got a sandwich too. The black cod sandwich was served on a generous size of focaccia. The sandwich was crunchy, salty, and satisfying. The coleslaw was not over dressed and had a nice texture. The fish was cooked perfectly too! Alcohol can only be consumed outside under the tent. Keep that in mind if you decide to get an adult beverage. read more

Came for lunch on a Tuesday. They have a limited menu. You order at the counter and get a number; the food is brought to you at the tables outside. There is no regular service like you get upstairs the rest of the week and at dinner. We got the Habibut Ceviché with Tostadas for $22. The ceviché was pretty good, but we were really taken aback at how small the serving was. And it came with just two small tostadas. Didn't just feel very overpriced for the amount they gave us, it felt like a rip-off. The Dungeness Crab Sandwich for $28 was the exact opposite. There was a decent amount of crab, and it felt like good value for money. Knowing what we know now, we would have got 2 crab sandwiches. Really don't understand how they give an ample serving of the pricier Dungeness crab, and a minuscule one of the ceviche. And skimp on the tostadas, to boot. Having $50 + tax + tip for lunch at what was essentially a roadside shack with outdoor tables, we went away hungry. That's absurd! read more
Our favorite lunch stop after a morning of hiking in the area. We are really only here for the oysters, but did enjoy some of the other sandwiches (po boy, lobster roll) we were here. There are a lot of other locations in the area that sell similar items, but to the grilled oysters, here are our absolute favorite. I am personally a sucker for the Rockefeller oysters. Seating is mostly outdoor, so bring a thick jacket during the colder weather. Otherwise, service is very friendly and quick and parking is usually OK when it's not peak hours. We will be back! read more

Not everyone likes oysters. I do! If you like them too you gotta check out @the.marshall.store in Marshall, Ca., located along Tomales Bay. Great views!! Their delicious Pacific Oysters are fresh from their family farm, Tomales Bay Oyster Company! "Their oyster menu features them raw or grilled, as well as BBQ, Rockefeller, and Kilpatrick." They do have other items on their menu. I chose the bbq oysters and they were fresh, a bit briney (the brine is divine), juicy, and buttery smooth. The buttered bread helped mop up all the plate/shell leftovers. Dog friendly here. Quick friendly service. read more

Fresh locally sourced seafood in a fantastic location. It's hard to beat simply prepared and incredibly fresh seafood overlooking The beauty of Tomales Bay. The interior is a bit tired but the views and service are top notch. Prices are not cheap but for food this good its hard expect anything less. The raw oysters are very fresh and served ice cold with simple garnishes. The variety of barbecued oysters are all delicious and come with a generous helping of garlic bread. The word is out about the quality of the food here so lines can show up during peak hours. Come in the mid afternoon or on an off day or be prepared to wait a bit before placing your order. With that said the food is well worth the wait and the staff is helpful and friendly. If you love fresh seafood and are in the area you have to try this place. read more

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.
