The food is overpriced and consistently unspectacular, including the bbq. The only thing worth getting is the nachos, and even those can be inconsistent. Love Big Rock as a place and concept, but the smart play is to stop for a beer on your way to eat elsewhere.

First time eating a sandwich from here. This thing was an absolute unit.

Rocky's Quality Meats is the perfect name for them because they do have quality meats.

They are tucked inside the Santa Venetia market and are a separate business. You have to pay for whatever you ordered at the counter and not the front cashier. Besides their sandwiches they also offer homemade sides, various raw meats, sausages, frozen ravioli and they bbq ribs and chicken outside the market every Friday. The guys behind the counter are always fast and friendly. Be prepared for a long line during the lunch hour. It's worth the wait.

Taco Tuesday is great and we meet with friends often and love the greetings of our lovely community friends and neighbors that come and go whenever we are there.

Lagunitas General Store is one of several places you'll see as you make your way from the town of…read moreFairfax out to the coast. It's got the West Marin vibe and serves a clear need in the community for a store where one can pick up what's necessary without going over White's Hill to bigger stores. I'm just a passer-by though, and when I did recently I noticed a Taco Tuesday special ($12 for 3 street tacos) that got me inside. There, between two of us, we sampled all 3 versions (beef, pork, and chicken) and between us we couldn't agree on which was best. What we did agree on? All were fine but none were so good that we'd be planning a return visit. What might get me back is knowing that they serve Straus soft serve (in which I indulged). On this visit they had only vanilla. An asset to the community, no doubt, but - taco curiosity satisfied - any future visits for this non-local will likely be fully focused on the soft-serve.

It's a tiny grocery store but they have the essentials and then some. I haven't tried the breads but they have a bunch of really yummy looking ones that smell amazing. They have a lot of Mexican spices and foods that you won't find anywhere else around here. The meat guy is cool, he butterflied a whole chicken for me and cleaned it up. All the meat here looks good. Mexican grocery stores always have the best meat! And they are so hard to find in Ignacio. The produce section has a lot of the usual stuff you find at Safeway for a better price and some more exotic stuff you would not find there. They have a huge section of Mexican candies and snacks too. I stop by every time I happen to be in this shopping center.

Last time we came here for Buffalo soft serve and it was replaced by Jersey cow soft serve. I'm a…read moresucker for soft serve so I had to come back to try this. It's better than Strauss. It's a lot thicker and creamier than the Strauss soft serve. I was impressed. I'm glad that they now serve the Jersey cow soft serve because the Buffalo one was pretty boring and too sweet. They no longer serve the Buffalo soft serve because the company was bought out and now they use the Buffalo milk for other items like cheese and no longer sell it for soft serve. Love this little market and if I move to Sausalito, I would be coming here quite often. And not just for the soft serve. They have a lot of very interesting items here. The items are all marked up a bit but otherwise good quality items and the food looks good. I've enjoyed their hot lunch here. All the prepare Foods look good too. I normally go across the street to Joinery for lunch then stroll down here for a soft serve.

Got this message from "Christopher B" blaming me for what i was charged by the store. I assume this…read moreperson works at Drivers: "There is no way two tomatoes cost $19-20. Your herbal soda was likely $6. So you likely were inadvertently overcharged (it happens with some of the older ladies who do check out), and you should have brought it up right then. Who doesn't pay attention to what you're being charged? In any event, those tomatoes aren't 2# each. You should rethink your unfair review and take responsibility for your inattentiveness first." What a busy body. Anyway, no, i didn't know what i was charged until i left the store. As anyone can probably attest to, pretty often these days when being rung up, the checker doesn't say the total anymore - they just scan your items and tell you to tap. So no, i didn't know what i was being charged at the time but this doesn't make the egregious pricing my fault, but nice try "Christopher B."

They have a nice selection of ice cream too. If you need tea pots and tea sets, you can get those too. I wanted to have some chicken and beef koobideh, so I popped in. However, my plan was to cook them at home on my own charcoal grill. So, full disclosure, the pictures I'm sharing are of their koobideh mixes that I formed on my own skewers and (over)cooked on my grill. Despite overcooking the kebab, they were some of the most flavorful kebabs I've had, in particular the chicken. The beef was deliciously, but pretty standard. The chicken had some magic in it. You should def come to Saffron, buy some things to take home or - better yet - have them serve up some kebab to you.
