Delicious burgers. I didn't realize it was outdoor seating only. Somewhat steep prices $$$. for the food size and having to sit on wet cold benches. Bathrooms needed desperate help (dirty & had to wash hands outside in the cold) Otherwise this place had good vibes and friendly staff. Would love to come back in warmer weather if in the area read more

The Peg House - Berry sundae - Convenience Stores Near Me - Leggett, California

Great stop for travelers with pets! We stopped at The Peg House on our way to the Avenue of the Giants, and we're so glad we did! This hidden gem sits just off Highway 101, so it's easy to find. All of the seating is outdoors, with plenty of shaded spots -- perfect for relaxing without baking in the sun. There's even a stage area for live music. We stopped by on a Monday evening, so no music that day, but the atmosphere was still wonderful and laid-back. When we went to order, we were greeted by incredibly friendly staff who immediately offered our dogs some treats (always an A+ in my book!). Their burger and sandwich menu had so many tempting options that it was hard to choose. I ended up with a burger topped with jalapeños, while my partner went for one with bacon. The burgers were amazing -- the meat was tender and juicy, practically melting in your mouth. The toppings complemented everything perfectly, and the bun tasted fresh and fluffy. I also really appreciated the coleslaw -- not overloaded with mayo like most. My partner loved his meal too. We've decided this will be a new tradition every time we're in the area! Pro tip: Don't skip the gift store right next to the eatery. Pick up a Train Wreck cookie, Rice Krispy treat, and a brownie -- they're all incredible. We loved them so much that we stopped again on our way home to stock up. You won't be disappointed! read more

never not stop. this place is a random oasis in the middle of the redwoods. rootbeer floats, harris ranch beef burgers with heirloom tomatoes, beautiful flowers and live music under a peaceful canopy of trees. it'll always be in my core memories. additionally, there is a little store with literally anything and everything you'd ever need or want. i like how the campsite across the street, standish hickey, literally has a trail dedicated to visiting this store and restaurant. and the service was so friendly like you're in a small town or something. can't wait to come back again next summer :) read more

I love stopping here when traveling through the redwoods. Years ago I was staying by myself at the campground across the street and didn't feel like cooking - I walked across the street and had the nicest time. There is a fun little general store with lots of gift items to browse through and then there is the big patio with a stage and most every time I've been there, there has been live music happening. There is a little food truck to get burgers etc. I have celiac and they were very knowledgeable as to what was safe for me to have. Be sure to save room for the delicious berry sundaes! Sit back and enjoy the music. read more

The Peg House - menu June 2025 - Convenience Stores Near Me - Leggett, California

Very disappointed with the service. Not sure if the staff was not trained properly or just rude, but overall bad experience. We came in and specifically asked if they could do to-go; the lady said yes. We requested that and left a tip as well for our takeout order. The food came out, and it was not in to-go boxes... When we asked, they gave us two tiny sheets of tin foil and ask us to self-wrap ours... when they obviously had to-go boxes (we saw another order coming out). We asked if they could put our food in a box like that and they coldly said "we charge for that"... Then went ahead and made us pay for the boxes. Also, we still had to put our to-go order in those boxes ourselves. read more

Great spot to sit outside. They even have live music sometimes! Must order the BBQ oysters. They were the largest and most delicious bbq oysters I've had! Lots of garlic butter and sauce and cooked the perfect amount. Yum! Plenty of other sandwiches and beer options if oysters aren't your thing read more

We went here on a late afternoon on a Friday while traveling up the coast to see the Redwoods. I'd read great reviews, and this place did not disappoint! The ambiance is adorable. They have an amazing living garden and picnic tables set up facing a stage. We were there when a duo was playing a nice acoustic set. Food was outstanding. We each had burgers. Everything was fresh and filling. A hidden gem for sure! read more

The Peg House - Sitting area - Convenience Stores Near Me - Leggett, California

Never not stop at The Peg House Yes, as a marketing cynic, I don't buy that motto -- and then I experienced The Peg House in Leggett. Further south of Garberville, there are even fewer dining options. Don't think you have to stop here out of desperation. You'll want to stop here for myriad reasons: After leaving the coast and the PCH, the in-land temperature is hot during the summer. All outside seating with umbrellas and canvas shading provides some relief... but the iced NA beverages also help. Live music (one musician mid-day earlier in the week, a band mid-day on Thu when we stopped again). Doubt these musicians will have a tour stop near you any time soon, but this was a wonderful extra here. Love the menu with meat, fish and vegetarian options. (Note: don't touch the vegetables growing along the side of the dining area). For the record, not a slaw fan -- but I enjoyed the small portion and the slice of juicy watermelon that accompanied my order. Polite window service happily answered questions about the semi-gourmet menu and noted adjustments to our orders. They do a fantastic job slaying the demand when it gets busy. Bring a good attitude and resolve to ENJOY your break at The Peg House. Don't expect fast-food prices because there's only one location. You can support the general store as well. It features somewhat mass-produced pies from somewhere in the region. Note: within walking distance on the same side of the road is the trailhead for a good post-meal hike outside the state park, whose gate and parking lot are located across the highway. read more

Traveling up from the Bay Area on a business trip, came here based on a recommendation from a local coworker. The restaurant was behind a gift shop off the main road. If it weren't for the recommendation, we would have never considered coming here. So glad we did though, the burger was excellent. It was one of the best burgers I've had. I ordered their special - Apple bacon burger. It had a thick patty with blue cheese, bacon, apple slices, and arugula. A definite gem and a must try for any burger lovers in the area. read more

Such a cool spot off the highway in the middle of the woods. They seem to have live entertainment on select days but we stopped by right before they closed so we missed it. Even though we were the last meals of the day they did NOT hold back. I had the Veggie burger with vegan cheese. The bread is perfectly toasted and so soft inside. It's a hexagonal shape which makes it perfect for gripping as you devour the burger. The coleslaw side is also really good, not too mayo-y or vinegar-y and really refreshing. Wish we could have stayed a little longer to check out the attached store. They also have a really cute plant nursery (or something with plants) outside. Really really nice service who accommodated my non-dairy non-red meat needs. Super yummy! read more

Usually love stopping here, but tonight the service was a bit snarky - not sure what we did, but they were terse when asked a question about the menu. Chicken Brie, pineapple that I come here for was smothered in mayo so much so that the chicken wouldn't stay seated on the bun, and couldn't really taste the pineapple. I hope this isn't the new rendition. The People used to be so friendly. read more

"Never Don't Stop" is their motto, and it is rare that we drive past (usually because it is too late). There are very few food stops along US-101 between Ukiah and Eureka, and none of them match Peg House. The grill outside churns out some seriously good grub - killer burgers, great BLTs, a memorable Reuben, even a delightful hot dog. No fryer, though. The store has at least one of everything - great cookies and brownies (fresh daily) right by the register. Live music in the garden throughout the summer and maybe beyond. Never don't stop! read more

What a gem on 101 fwy! Stopped by during our road trip coming down on 101 fwy, and it was a pleasant surprise. // Ambiance Not bad at all. Actually impressive given the location and all. We went around 1pm and it was scorching hot. All outside seating, and glad they had some covers on most of the tables. Even had some live music playing by a couple singers/musicians. Good lunch and good entertainment. // Service You order at the window and pickup your food there, so not much to say but no rudeness. No extra friendliness or anything. Just getting things done promptly. All good for a quick stop and rest from driving. // Food Surprised to see some "fancy" ingredients in this part of the area! *Brie Burger = Nice big chunk of brie cheese on a burger! Brie and apricot jam went nicely with the burger! Fancy and good! *Lost Coast Burger = Wife ordered this and it was good, also! I'm not a fan of goat cheese, but the taste and smell were both subtle that it was actually pretty good even for me when I took a bite. So both of these burgers were basically flavored by the cheese and surprisingly very good! *Aloha Burger = Nothing too special here but also good! Not too many places offer teriyaki burger and they do and my kid liked it. *BBQ Oysters = Pleasant surprise! Cooked oyster with bbq sauce. Better than you think! Overall we had a pleasant meal! It's a GOURMET semi-fast food restaurant! Definitely try them out if you're driving on 101 fwy! The prices are bit pricey but somewhat understandable given their location. read more

What a lovely surprise! We were starving after our adventure at the Drive-Thru Tree and on our way to Shelter Cove! My man wanted to go somewhere else, but I found this place on Yelp, so I said, "Hey, let's just check this out. If it looks bad, then we'll leave!" We could smell the wonderful aroma of food from a grill as we drove towards the restaurant. Is that from the Peg House? We were still miles away! But as we got closer, we realized it WAS from the Peg House! How exciting! It was raining when we arrived, and it looked like a grocery store. However, when we walked in, we were enticed by the menu. The lady said the restaurant was around the back of the store! OH! It was a bummer because there was only outside seating. There were many seats on the stage as well as under a tarp. Well, at least some areas protected us from getting drenched! My man and I shared an Apricot Brie Sandwich. It was more like a burger with brie and sweet apricot jam. It didn't matter, though, it was sure damn tasty! The kids also enjoyed a cheeseburger and a hot dog. Whoa, that hot dog was HUGE. My daughter could only finish half. We were so impressed by the food that we returned after exploring the Avenue of the Giants. This time, my man and I shared The Lost Coast burger. I'm a sucker for a burger with feta cheese and bacon. Yum. For dessert, we all indulged in the Blackberry Sundae. How could we not? They have a big poster that made me get one. It was a delightful ending before we drove home. It didn't rain during our second visit, and we sat in a lovely garden area. It was freak'n cold outside. I was hoping they had outside heaters. Nonetheless, I'm glad I was inclined to check it out. read more

My mom and I were racing the sunset to get up to Miranda, and while every other restaurant/convenience store nearby already closed for the day, the Peg House saved us! Good restroom stop. While the kitchen was closed, the kind lady inside hooked us up with a breakfast burrito, two deli sandwiches made to order, and a pb&j for the road. Also taste-tasted the chili and it was delectable too. They sell any last-minute items you might need as well as fun souvenirs to grab for the trip; I definitely grabbed a bumper sticker to remember the place by. NEVER DONT STOP! read more

I was skeptical! But there wasnt any other place along the 101 that had much ratings so we decided to give it a whirl. Im super glad we trusted and went for it. The little backyard is super cute with a bunch of flowers and it felt like a sweet little picnic. We both got the cheeseburger and honestly, we both felt like it was a home cooked at a family reunion. The beef was grassfed and the ingredients were super fresh and crisp. I think some of it came from their garden. Its farm to table taste was so worth the stop. Now I get their slogan "never not stop". I will be keeping this in my back pocket of places to recommend for pit stop and quick bite to eat. If you dont like beef, they have chicken and I think a few vegetarian options. We also noticed a stage for musicians and I thought that was cute. read more

This is a lovely little outdoor grill with a gift shop next door right on the northbound side of 101. Eating mostly pescatatian, I expected to get by with a fried fish or maybe grilled cheese. But I was delighted to find a tempeh Reuben on the menu, with a choice of Swiss or vegan. It was perfect. They have lots of seating, both covered and in the sun. They have a good loudspeaker for announcing when your order is ready so you don't have to stand close. They even have wifi. read more

Mark the Peg House on your map before heading up to any of the amazing festivals here because it is the all-in-one stop for anything you may have forgot (river floats, to wine, to flashlights to random costumes and bubble makers) as well as epic sandwiches and breakfast items. Gets a little crowded 1 hour before gates/ticketing opens so make a plan to get there early and put in your orders. Also, as of a few months ago, this whole insane complex, live music venue, outdoor BBQ, and general store is for sale.... In case you're looking to escape the sounds and smells of City life. read more

Never don't stop at the peg house! This review isn't for their more expanded food options for lunch (they look great but I've never tried them) but for their breakfast options, specifically the burritos. For being reheated they're actually pretty tasty! My one request would be to have non-dairy options available. The store itself has basically anything you'd ever want inside, from souvenirs to toys to snacks and drinks! It's cozy but can get pretty busy when there are a lot of people passing through. The people working the counter are always friendly and helpful too. The bathrooms are located out back away from the store and can be pretty hit or miss on cleanliness, but more often than not they're totally fine - we pass through here yearly on our way to a festival, so I'm sure our experience is more of an outlier than the norm. read more
