Great BBQ in Bodega Bay. At this location the Sandpiper operated for years but according to the chef/owner the building had to be demolished and a new one built. Inside seating is limited but there is a decent sized outdoor patio with propane heaters. My daughter and I shared the large BBQ platter that usually goes for $30 but since there were no ribs to serve they charged us $20. Lots of meat, two hamburger buns and assorted sauces plus a side dish of beans. 3-4 people could easily share this dish.
Breakfast are wonderful! Enjoy the brisket hash, fried egg sandwich, monkey bread w/bacon & the burrito. Lunches are amazing too. Pulled pork, brisket, raviolis or the lasagna - their ‘Italian gravy’ tremendous!
This is a wonderful place to go. We chatted with the owner & had a few minutes of local history & shared our history with bodega bay.
The food was wonderful & they were able to provide gluten-free options. Highly recommend the brisket! Portions are a great size & pricing is good.
We really enjoyed eating & looking out to the bay & dock.
Can't wait to go back when we come again. 🤗

Moved to the area recently and was celebrating a friends birthday for the weekend. We wanted to go to gourmet au bay for lunch but we were too early. Ginochios next door was open so we went through the patio door but got confused as we were on the backside of the restaurant.
We went around and ordered inside and sat back out on the patio. Only the orange umbrellas were theirs and the reds all said reserved for when gourmet au bay opened at noon.
We had the dogs on the floor and a few of us had the fish tacos which were stuffed with cod. Large meal so it made up for the priceyness of eating out these days. Also had a white wine. Some people had other drinks, the chowder which they enjoyed, and the side of beans which was big enough to share. I put all the salsas and condiments on my tacos but still wished for a hot sauce, would take my own unless they offered it!
Water is in the hallway with plastic cups. They didn’t have a dog water bowl but offered me a chowder cup for water, but bring your own if you have it!
The cashier was friendly. No one was eating inside as it was a nice day out. Parking lot was easy as it was still early at 11:20am on a Saturday morning.
I wasn't expecting much when I entered Ginochio's kitchen; just a quick bit before hitting the beach, but WOW! Mind. Blown.
The staff was incredibly inviting and friendly, and friendly in such a way that, just striking up a conversation with our server would be warmly welcomed. But that food, though.
The caramel bacon monkey bread stole the show! There were three of us at our table, and when I went in for a second bite, I nearly got bit! Yeah, it's that good.
I need to tell you about the brisket burrito, though (while I make Homer Simpson drooling moans). It was as tender as brisket can be, and so very flavorful. The cheese was thoroughly melted, the potatoes were seasoned and cooked perfectly,and I just can't say enough about it.
Please, do yourself a favor and give this place a shot. If we are still in town when they start serving lunch, I'm sure we are going to grab something for the road. Cheers, folks!
Great little barbecue joint with an awesome view of the bay. Highly recommend the fish tacos
What an amazing little find! clean and modern little hole in the wall cafe situated right at the top of the Harbor. We had amazing breakfast burritos and you have to try the monkey bread with bacon and caramel! Never had anything like it and would come out of my way to come back here to get it again! we had our puppy with us there's plenty of outdoor seating and dog friendly
This place is a small treasure hidden in Bodega, the staff is absolutely incredible, so kind and generous. They help fishermen who can't afford things, like slip fees and food. Alysha is a god send, seriously an angel in disguise. We came here today not able to afford the whole meal and they surprised us with some fish tacos when I grabbed the order. We also came yesterday for the first time and they didn't charge us for beers or food, we wanted to pay but there was a long line when we finished eating and they said don't worry about it. They work with the local food bank also. Places like this don't exist anymore, make sure to give them your business
Friendly Staff, and indoor seating available. The ribs have a well balanced dry rub, not fall off the bone but very tender and juicy. BBQ sauce on the side is sweet and tangy. The nachos and made to share 100%! The Monkey Bread is wonderful with coffee.
Quite a variety of options from barbecue, to seafood. We shared the fresh crab/ havati cheese sandwich with chips and a 16 oz clam and scallop chowder. The sandwich was delicious and the chowder was creamy and loaded, and with some potato bits. You also get the benefit of a wonderful view of the pelicans. See photos.
Visit to Bodega Bay made me go into this joint.
Awesome Location, one of the stars goes for that. This place have indoor and outdoor space. Outdoor space is shared among two restaurant. This is a self service place.
We ordered a Fish Tacos, Crackling Nachos, Clam Chowder and French fries.
Fish Taco is not that great at all., I felt either the fish is not fresh or not cooked right. I wouldn't suggest that.
Crackling nachos, this is a huge plate of nachos. Order one for two or three people. It was good, but no Jalapenos :(
Clam Chowder was so good, end up having two cups. Just add a bit of hot sauce to spice it up.
French Fries was nice and crispy.
In summary.. if you enjoy outdoor seating and just a quick fix until you find a proper place., this is the place.
I can’t say enough about this Catoring experience. They helped me plan the menu for my daughter’s Newlywed Brunch and then executed everything perfectly. Not only was the food delicious but the SERVICE was over the top. They are very organized and professional. Needless to say, the morning after our daughters wedding, we were moving a little slow. Thankfully they came right into my home, set up everything I ordered… AND THEN SOME. They had everything ready in minutes… I texted them when we were ready for them to return to pick up their chaffing dishes, coffee urn & serving utensils. They even offered to haul off our party trash from 40 people.. NOW THATS INCREDIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE. If you are even remotely interested in a Catered party, don’t look any further. They Got You!
