    Eggs Benedict
    Marc W.

    Friendly staff and fun Wizard of Oz theme. Good food and great potatoes. It's getting four stars because of the elevated prices and the long wait for the food. They do state it on the menu that it takes a while, so they do warn you. But 45 minutes is exceptionally long. Still, the food is quite good.

    Great food from this amazing small yet quaint and comfortable place hidden on front street! Quick seating and service is fast. The staff are very friendly and helpful in choices. We're from Placer County, but we'll be back.

    We came by for sunday brunch since we were in town for the valentine's day weekend. They were absolutely packed! It was storming outside but people were forming a line to dine in. The restaurant has such a fun theme and I love their commitment to sustainability 10/10!! Food was very good, I had the corned beef which was prepared differently from how I i'm used to (which is explicitly stated in the menu) but it was great nonetheless! This is a good spot for small groups, I wouldn't recommend large parties because space is very limited.

    Came here for breakfast before riding the Skunk Train nearby. The place is tiny and we were seated at a small table, but it's good we got there when we did because it was starting to really pick up. The Wizard of Oz decorations throughout are pretty cool especially if you're a fan. The Biscuits and Gravy was really good and made from scratch. The over-medium eggs and bacon were also delicious. And the country potatoes were perfect. Nice crips on the outside but still fluffy potato inside. Wifey enjoyed her scrambled egg breakfast. One of Fort Bragg's best spots for breakfast. I'd suggest getting there as early as possible especially on weekends since the restaurant is small and gets packed quickly. But either way you will enjoy the food!

    Came across Egghead's on Yelp. Decided to give a try. The food was pretty good. The staff was really nice. Love The Wizard of Oz theme. The food was pretty good. Will definitely be coming back on the next trip to Fort Bragg.

    Corned Beef Hash

    On previous trips we have chosen Eggheads and normally on a weekend when the line is out the door. Today though, on a quiet Wednesday we went right in and sat immediately. The decor is Wizard of Oz themed and done quite well. Ok, on to the food.... My wife had the grilled smoked turkey w/ mushrooms, quite tasty and huge! I opted for the Corned Beef Hash/ Not Hash as per the menu. Great plate of corned beef, fresh red potatoes and onions. Great flavor, but regrettably the corned beef was tough and very chewy. In my opinion it needed another hour in pan. Otherwise a great meal.

    Cool breakfast joint with cute decor and the names of menu items aligned with the "wizard of oz" theme. The place is small, so seating is limited and a bit crammed. We were quoted a 25 minute wait to be seated on a Sunday morning, it actually took 35 minutes, luckily they text your phone so we were able to walk around downtown while waiting for our table to be ready. When we were finally seated, service was excellent. We got the spanish oz omelette, and uncle henry's farmhand favorite with eggs cooked overeasy and added patty sausage (they have several different options for sausage). All of our items were savory and delish, the potatoes a bit on the salty side but our dishes as a whole not bad at all.

They will call out your number and give you your food. There is a good amount of seating, but it does get crowded! I have tried the clam chowder, fish n chips, and fried oysters. Everything was good! I've tried bland fish n chips in the past but this place has a lot of flavor to everything, even the fries. There isn't too much batter either.

The taste and presentation of the food equals the heart in creating the dishes. This is why it pains me greatly to award 2 of 5 stars. We ordered 1 clam chowder bowl, one in a cup and a fish sandwich. The eatery was busy but it is no excuse for receiving the clam chowders before the sandwich was completed. My family completed their meals and I waited. I let the waiter and then 20 minutes later, the head hostess know that I still waited for them to create a simple fish sandwich. "It will be out soon was my reply instead of compensation. When mistakes occur, you stop what you are creating to make the order straight away. This was not the case. 45 minutes after my group was done, I finally received my meal. I mourn for the fine memory that I had of this restaurant and will give them 1 more chance to make amends someday in the future.

    Came with a wedding party for a group lunch at Princess Seafood Restaurant on Friday…read more I got the full crab roll with clam chowder and a cherry cider to wash it all down. The crab was sweet and delicious. They definitely did not skimp out on the amount of crab in the crab roll which was great. I liked the creamy and thickness of the clam chowder and was really glad that it wasn't too salty which is usually my fear. I really enjoyed the cherry cider as my beverage. It is refreshing, fruity, and light. It tastes like juice pretty much. Just a nice touch of sweetness and acidity to balance out the meal. I was grateful to the employees for getting our orders out in a timely fashion. There was a bit of a mix up with some of the orders but it happens with big parties and for the most part everything was correct! Overall, I had a great meal here and would definitely come back next time I'm in the area.

    If you're thinking this place feels like any other seafood place in a tourist town (malibu,…read moremonterey, etc), then prepare to have your viewpoints altered. While the checkered paper, fresh seafood, outdoor seating and walk up to order may all be part of the experience, this is probably the best seafood I've had in one of these beach towns. I ordered a shrimp cocktail, crab sandwich with chowder and blackened cod plate. The shrimp cocktail contains a surprising amount of shrimp for the price - and you can definitely taste how fresh the shrimp is! The crab sandwich was pretty good and light, but I feel like the blackened cod overshadowed everything. The cod was so flavorful, and you get 4-5 pieces. It's a cajun style seasoning where you can taste the spice - to a point it may be a little too spicy for people with low spice tolerance. The bread is buttered and the salad is fresh - you could not ask for a better meal. The clam chowder is a little different from most other places; they add some seasonings and spice to the chowder so it's not the traditional creamy, heavy soup you're expecting. It's like clam chowder premium, I prefer their version over a more traditional version. The view of the turquoise colored water is amazing from their indoor patio, as it's covered in windows. They also have an outdoor patio where you can take pictures of the color. The line to order was quick, but we saw that the line can get long with extended wait times depending on customer numbers. Water is self serve, and you also bus your own plates. When visiting Fort Bragg, you have to come to eat here, for the food, the view, and the service!

    When you're in Fort Bragg, you'll quickly discover that everyone claims to have the best fish and…read morechips. With so many seafood restaurants to choose from, picking one can almost feel harder than deciding what to order. Here's why I'd come back here. The food tastes like someone actually cares. The fish and chips were outstanding. The fish was fresh, flaky, and moist, wrapped in a light, crispy batter that added crunch without overwhelming the fish itself. Every bite was hot, fresh, and exactly what you hope for when you're eating seafood on the Northern California coast. Then there's the clam chowder. Made fresh in-house every day from a family recipe, it doesn't taste like something poured out of a bag or reheated from a steam table. It's rich, creamy, full of flavor, and loaded with the kind of homemade character that's becoming harder and harder to find. Even if someone in your group isn't craving seafood, they're covered. The cheeseburgers are made with grass-fed, grain-finished beef, and you can absolutely taste the difference. It's nice knowing the non-seafood options aren't just afterthoughts. What really separates this place from so many others, though, is that it doesn't rely on gimmicks or tourist hype. It's simply honest food, made well, served by friendly people who seem proud of what they're putting on your table. When you're traveling, you only get so many meals. I'd rather spend mine somewhere that's focused on quality than flashy décor or clever marketing. So if you're standing in Fort Bragg wondering which seafood place deserves your money, this would be my recommendation. Great fish and chips. Homemade chowder. Excellent burgers. Friendly service. That's a combination that's hard to beat, no matter how many options are nearby. 5 STARS! Bonus when the sea otters are ready to play!!

We opted for 12 oysters for $30.95 and crab rolls. If you don't want too much oyster you can get smaller portions. They offer 3 oysters for $9.95, then 6 oysters for $15.95 and the last option of 12 oysters for $30.95. They also offer 3 different types for flavors ( garlic butter, chipotle bourbon and one other sauce. We got the two most popular flavors of 6 chipotle bourbon and 6 garlic butter. The crab rolls were made of fresh meat with light mayo tomato. It was really nice and refreshing. Light lemon flavor. You can taste the freshness without the sea or sandniess. I wish the portion for the crab roll was a bit bigger. But overall I loved everything. Will definitely come back when in the area for the oysters.
