    We had a great time here sitting outside enjoying the view with our dog. I had the pale ale and my husband had the IPA. Both were very good. The beertender suggested the fishes, so I had grilled fish tacos and he had ceviche. Both were spot on and very fresh. They were setting up for Lost Coast Line Dancing from 6-8 every Thursday, so I got a few shots of the line dance teachers warming up. They looked like they were really enjoying themselves. Wished we could have stayed longer.

    Fried cauliflower with Frank's hot sauce

    My partner and I decided to drive out from Phillipsville to explore The Cove for the very first time. Neither of us had ever been to this small town in California and we were so excited and mesmerized with the beauty of it all. We were of course hungry and saw that there was a local dog friendly brewery nearby. Yay for us! We came to Gyppo on a Wednesday at 3 pm in late October and did not struggle with parking. Their parking space was very big and spacious to likely accommodate much more people on a busy day. Upon entering, we noticed the signs that directed us to seat ourselves and also noticed that the dog friendly area was outside. Since we had our dogs with us, we made our way to the beer garden. The views were spectacular! Their property overlooks the beach and a personal airport so during our visit, we saw some beautiful deer relaxing and also saw a small plane take off. For the food, we ordered fried cauliflower, Peruvian ceviche, and the fried sandwich. My partner is one to dive in right away when we get our food so unfortunately I didn't snap any pictures of the ceviche but wow! We were amazed by how delicious their food was. We opted to get the Frank's hot sauce with the cauliflower and although it was yummy, we will opt to try it with Korean bbq sauce next time. Their ceviche had different fish and it tasted so FRESH and so flavorful (it was our favorite!). The fried chicken was perfectly crunchy and had great toppings. I do wish it had some sort of zesty or spicy sauce in it but that's just a personal preference. For dessert, we wanted to order the creme brûlée but they were all out so we opted for their homemade brownie with vanilla ice cream. The brownie was delicious and not super chocolatie or sweet which I highly appreciated it. As for our drinks, I ordered a flight and my partner ordered an IPA. We found the beer to be very enjoyable as well with my favorite from the flight being the lager. If you are in the area, please come check out Gyppo Ale Mill. They are fantastic and also, their customer service is 10/10, so friendly! The vibes, food, views, and drinks are all fantastic!

    Double bacon burger

    When I was there in Mar-2025, despite having fish & chips, rockfish tacos, salsa verde grilled fish, and shrimp tacos on the menu, all they had available were burgers ... So I gave into the inevitable, and had a $24 double bacon cheeseburger with fries and a hard cider. Both were good, but for a burger and a cider, it was $47+ after tax and tip, a little steep for a restaurant that had minimal service and a limited menu. The food quality was fine, but I felt like I was paying resort prices without resort quality service. It's a pleasant atmosphere, both in and out, with a view of the airport and the Pacific behind that ... so it's a nice location -- and a perfect place to fly-in with a small plane for the "$100 hamburger" (actually much more now when you consider the cost of flying a small plane, but ... still a good location). I'd go back if I were in town, but I'd still grumble about the prices.

    Grilled Fish Tacos

    Gyppo Ale Mill is a restaurant with a relaxed vibe with both indoor and outdoor seating. It is both family friendly and dog friendly. We saw a lot more kids than you would normally see at a brewery. The outside area has a beer garden. They have a good selection of beer, wine, and cocktails. This is mainly a self-serve restaurant where you scan a QR code or order and or order at the bar and get a buzzer. There are utensils and napkins as well as water that you can serve yourself with. You can even pay on your phone when done, which means that one server can serve a lot of tables at once. The food was good and filling. I ordered the grilled fish tacos and a cocktail (Broken Compass). The cocktail was amazing! They have plenty of parking. There is a grassy area outside, which is nice. They also have a fire pit and games such as a foosball table, ping pong table, and corn hole to enjoy. Highly recommend!

    We just finished 5 stellar days on the Lost Coast and Gyppos was calling to us. The service was fast and super hospitable, the salad was fresh and the burger was scrumptious. And the beer was just what we had been yearning for. This spot is so cool and the people are top-notch. They make you feel at home. Six hours later, we arrived at our home in Ashland and realized we had forgotten our wallet! Even though they were closed, they answered the phone. They had the wallet and a week later we received it. No charge - just lots of love and a beautiful ending to an unforgettable trip!!!

    Food and beer were solid. Clam chowder really good. Hefeweizen and Mexican Lager really good. Friendly brewery dog and popcorn machine. Super friendly staff.

    Stopped here for lunch during our first time at shelter cove! Such great food and beautiful views! This is probably a very fun place to come for dinner or to watch the sunset, their outdoor patio is amazing. Looking forward to coming back and trying more of what's on their menu!! I can't imagine that anything is just ok on the menu--it's probably all DELISH. We got the fried Chicken Sandwich: perfectly breaded crispy and tasty, the Caesar chicken salad: chicken was grilled and tender and dressing was perfect, and the hog pile fries: tender bbq pork!!

    We enjoyed two evenings at Gyppo's. The wait staff - Eric and Paige were just amazing. Kitchen staff is doing an incredible job as well. Especially considering how busy they were! We especially loved the blistered shishito peppers from the local Briceland Forest Farm - I've never seen ones that large. We grow them in our garden but a smaller variety. These were amazing. Dining options in Shelter Cove are sometimes limited. Such was the case on our recent visit but we were happy to dine here two nights in a row. Cold beers on tap - great selections. The first night we share fish tacos - locally, incredibly fresh Rockfish. They were so yummy. Just enough for the two of us. Gyppo's was packed both nights. Eric and Paige smiling through it all and being very responsive. Lots of locals. Night two, more cold beers. I had the Rainbow Kale Salad. It was not only delicious but beautiful. My husband had the Cajun Rockfish sandwich. It was good, but we think the bun and toppings overpowered the fish. But we were happy to be part of the Gyppos vibe. There were patio games including cornhole and foosball. Dog and kid friendly - there were plenty of both.

    If nothing else, come for the view. Worth it alone! Ocean, trees, animals and airplanes. What more could you want.

    Gyppo Ale Mill, Shelter Cove - September 22, 2024 They have a nice bar together with an indoor dining room and covered outdoor patio seating. If you order outdoors, you use a QR code to order and pay. They use regular menus indoors. Cell coverage may be spotty, but they have free WIFI. Password is ilovebeer as of September 22, 2024. I had the best fried cod ever. An amazingly thick and fresh piece of breaded fish cooked to perfection - crispy on the outside and moist, tender, and delicious on the inside. The fries were pretty good, but could have been cooked just a little more for my liking. Still good. My wife had had the shrimp tacos, which were very tasty. The Whistle Punk West Coast IPA was spot on delicious - a beautiful clear golden ale that was well balanced. There is an airport at Shelter Cove and we saw one small plane take off. They have a nice game area that includes ping pong, table hockey, and corn hole. They also have a stage for live music.

    Here's a review ready to paste:…read more **5 stars** I can't point to one thing that was "the best" at HarborView Bistro & Bar, because everything was. The food was exquisite -- the crab ravioli and crab cakes were phenomenal appetizers, and my entrée, a fish stuffed with crab meat, was so good I'm still thinking about it. Every dish tasted fresh, and you could tell they're using quality ingredients. The service was excellent. Everyone on staff was friendly and genuinely talkative -- they even kept us updated on the 49ers score. And the setting was something else. We ate outside under the heaters with the fog rolling in over the canal by the harbor and the seals barking in the distance. The air had that slight coastal dampness to it, and it only made the evening feel more perfect. Honestly, I can't fully explain it -- it was just the perfect night. Fresh food, great people, unbeatable atmosphere. We'll be back. Want it shorter, or a different tone?

    The ambiance was good, but that was about it. The oysters weren't chilled, the stuffed sole was…read morebarely warner than room temperature, and the steak on the skewers was tough and of poor quality. To top it off, the server spilled water on half the table while refilling glasses and just left it. For the cost, this place is definitely not worth it. It was a pretty disappointing experience. Go somewhere else if you are in Ft. Bragg.
