Great Fish and Chips

Well, since Bodega Head was closed to traffic, we doubled back and had lunch at Fisherman’s Cove. My wife had the Crab Sandwich - excellent, while I went with the Fish and Chips. The three pieces were really good, chunky cod with a nice tasty...More

A very good shack

The rating giving is not in an absolute scale, it is our perception among shacks. It is by the road and a place that is exremely popular as is one of the few eateries this side of the Bay. One orders at a counter, get...More

Oysters grilled to perfection

The grilled oysters are an absolute must - every which way they serve them. DELICIOUS!!! The clam chowder is average. Self-order, eat inside or at outdoor picnic tables.

The best!

We have eaten here 5 or 6 times and it’s always great. Tried the clam chowder and it was yummy. Very garlicky but still yummy. The parking is a little crowded but well worth the effort.

Nice Seafood Shack

Friendly staff and tasty food, was just what we needed after walking the trails at Bodega Head. This is a small place on the way out of town towards the Head. We left refreshed and satisfied.

Wonderful destination eatery, especially on a sunny day

Bodega Bay has so many promising restaurant choices. As we drove through town we saw several potential places to stop, but when we spotted the line out the door at Fisherman's Cove, we decided that was the place. We were not disappointed. Scallops were huge,...More

I love this place!

This is a little dive place on the water but not even really a restaurant. There are shared tables and countertops where people just sit and wait for their food. To give you an idea, they also sell bait, tackle, lifevests and other items needed...More
