From my mom: I cannot thank the wonderful staff at Hog Island Oyster Co. enough! I was stranded with my keys locked in my trunk and had absolutely no cell service. The team here was incredibly kind and let me use their landline to call for a locksmith. They turned a stressful situation into a much better experience with their hospitality and compassion. Wonderful people! read more

Glad to have a reservation for the weekend as it would've been an hour wait! Fyi this location has a smaller menu with less food options but a great stop for oysters from the source! - Dozen oysters split : fresh and delicious! - Barbecued oysters : served fresh off the grill, both the miso and chipotle flavors were great. Ordered side of bread to soak up any remaining butter. read more

4.5 Stars -- Where the Bay Meets Brilliance We decided to spend the weekend with our dear friends in Santa Rosa CA. I have been craving for raw oysters and they recommended this place. Freshness overload, plain and simple. Hog Island Oyster Co. delivers the kind of unpretentious excellence that makes you forget the daily grind You sit at rustic picnic tables overlooking the water, but what lands in front of you could rival any white-tablecloth restaurant in the city. Each oyster tastes like the ocean decided to tell you a secret--briny, bright, impossibly fresh. The BBQ oysters are smoky perfection, while the raw platter feels like a masterclass in minimalism. We decided in the chipotle grilled oysters and although I am always partial to raw this came close to changing my mind - it was rich buttery and spicy They don't have a real kitchen so no clam chowders - would have been nice since it was a chilly day. We also got the mussels escabeche and smokes albacore - delicious and subtly seasoned. We went on a Saturday and even though we came early working was a struggle - though worth it. The other challenge is the bathroom situation - not the cleanest A bit pricey but I guess for the quality and where it's at - it's worth it. It's the rare spot where simplicity and sophistication meet quietly, without trying too hard. Nothing feels forced, everything feels right. Come hungry, leave salt-kissed and happy. read more

We hadn't been to the oyster bar attached to the farm location of Hog Island Oyster for several years, and it looks like they're expanded the space. After going on a tour of the farm, we decided to get some more oysters at the bar. The chipotle butter oysters were piping hot and perfectly seasoned with a sweet earthy flavor. We also ordered a cold cut board and a cheese board for two people. The boards were a good size and we had some leftovers to take home. While the bar had more limited offerings compared to the SF ferry building location, the outdoor seating and views of Tomales Bay and farm are unbeatable. read more

Decided to come here on a Saturday without reservations and even though we had to wait an hour, it was well worth the wait. Please make a reservation unless you don't mind waiting an hour, ALSO you will get turned away if there is no seating (several people after us got turned away). During our wait, we walked the grounds, explored their general store and sat and talked which was great because there is no service in the area, it gives a chance for people to connect. The hostess was very nice even though it was busy. He was very attentive and even took our order so we can get food even time for the kitchen closing instead of having us wait for a waiter. We ordered the cheeseboard, bourbon butter oysters, and the miso oysters. All were great, although I may skip the miso oysters next time to try some raw ones with their mignonette. Wine was also great. They had a really good selection. This would be a beautiful place to come during the summer since it's right off the water and just the drive there was so scenic. It can get busy there so we parked on the side of the road but from what I can see there is plenty of parking. Lastly, they sell oysters at the general store sooo if you don't want to wait if you didn't make reservations. There's a table right in front of the store and you can shuck away! read more

I wanted to get good quality oysters right from the source since I've had the oysters in SF. They do have a dine in option where you can eat the oysters but there is a wait. I got 2 dozen oysters and shucked them myself. Got the Kumamoto and the sweet water. Flavor profile for both the sweetwater and kumamoto are fresh and salty. Meat was very soft and firm. Definitely a fun activity to do or to enjoy at a picnic near a beach. Warning: Parking is pretty difficult to find. I'll definitely be back here again to grab some oysters if I'm in the area read more

Make a reservation. Even if it's a random weekday... make the reservation! We drove 2 hours out eat here. Parking lot is VERY small, so we ended up parking down the road and walking. We were very fortunate to be able to get seating after a 20 minute wait, so.... for future reference, make the reservation! I have to say, those grilled oysters changed my life. Bless Hog Island for sharing their BBQ Chipotle Bourbon butter recipe online. I'm waiting to tell my friends this is what I want for my birthday. Everything was fresh, no complaints! It was worth the 2 hour drive and some car sickness. read more

Wow, definitely worth the drive. The oysters were fresh and great with their vinegar-ish sauce. Their bread has great sesame taste, nice with butter. The smoked cod dip was good but was kind of salty. Their hot sauce is kind of sweet, we prefer the tapatio. Service is welcoming and kind! This spot faces the water which is nice, can get chilly and cold though so warm up! read more

Oysters here are incredibly fresh and flavorful -- some of the best I've ever had. They offer a great deal on oysters to-go, which I'd definitely recommend. Both the raw and BBQ are worth trying; the hogwash pairs perfectly with the oysters' natural salinity. The shareable plates were also excellent, making for a light but satisfying meal. Staff were super friendly. We visited on a reservation-required day -- highly recommended for those traveling from afar, though walk-ins can work if you arrive early. We got there at 11:00 AM on a Sunday and snagged a table just before the place filled up. The location is beautiful, right next to Tomales Bay, and I'll definitely grab oysters to take home next time. read more

We haven't been here since before Covid. I'm glad they're still here but sad that they removed the BBQ grills. We had two orders of the grilled oysters - they were sooooo good! The day we went, there was freshly baked sourdough bread that was to die for. It was windy and raining when we went but they still had several tables of people enjoying the oysters. Thankful for the enclosed dining area. The winds were crazy. read more

6/8/2025 Hog Island Oyster Farm 20215 Shoreline Hwy Marshall, CA 94940 My nephew and I went there on a Sunday Oyster Odyssey. It's located in Marshall on Tomales bay. We left from San Francisco and traveled on HWY 1 to Marshall in the middle of nowhere on a narrow windy road. The drive was scenic and stressful. Parking is on gravel roadside and was pretty full when we got there around 12:30 PM. There is a booth to get seated at the outdoor picnic table dining area, there was no inside dining when we were there, bring a jacket. Service was good and helpful. We got the Rockfish Ceviche and a dozen oysters. The Ceviche came with nacho chips and was very good, fresh and spicy. The oysters were fresh, tasty and came with a Mignonette sauce which was very vinegary, make sure you stir this well before consuming. I would have preferred a cocktail sauce. The cell signal gets weak or nonexistent about 10 miles around the place, so check your exit route before you get there. If I did it again I would go north to Petaluma then west to Marshal, the roads are much friendlier. The food was very good but pricey. Maybe repeatable. read more

We did the The Classic Farm Tour and it was awesome! The tour was super interesting and fun and informative and you really got to go all over the facility. Then we got a great little lesson on how to shuck oysters (which neither of us had done before) and then we each got to shuck and eat 5 super fresh and tasty oysters! They also let us order from the drink menu at The Boat Restaurant there so we could have some drinks with our fresh oysters. read more

Outdoor seating only, bring a blanket if it's cold out! Oysters were so delicious! Our group ended up ordering more grilled oysters and it was perfect for the cold windy day. Fresh oysters were also fantastic but the grilled ones are definitely worth waiting for. read more

I love coming to places like this and enjoying the outdoor vibes with fresh seafood. Unfortunately for me, it always happens to rain when I try :') Not all the tables here have umbrellas for some reason, and all the ones that do were fully reserved. This was a bit spontaneous for me, so I was out and exposed in the rain. We ordered 2 dozen raw oysters ($88), 4 grilled oysters ($18), and smoked oysters ($12). The raw oysters were whatever today's special was, and we could not choose. I don't think the staff mentioned what they were either. I do wish we could've had more variety in the platter. Not sure what I was expecting for the smoked oysters, but I was definitely pleasantly surprised at the flavor. Definitely recommend trying! The prices were exactly the same as in SF when dining in, and being the idiot I am, I assumed the retail menu I saw online were going to be the dining prices. Got a huge sticker shock for sure. Then, they add a 5% surcharge on top of that, which I'm never happy about. Overall, I don't think the price was worth the long drive and overall experience considering how it's not much different than staying right in the city. I'd like to check out all the other local gems in the area next time instead. read more

Same prices as the ones from the Ferry Building so was the drive worth it for the extra freshness?! I'm telling myself it was. Still can't escape the surcharge fees though . There are limited outdoor seating with umbrellas. I highly recommend making a reservation ahead of time so you can secure those seating. It's hard to predict the weather in North Bay. We were lucky it was just a light sprinkle by the time we got here and ate. Decent view all around! We ordered their oysters of the day, grilled oysters, and smoked oysters. The smoked oysters stole the show. They looked nothing like what we expected but the taste was really good! The Japanese influence definitely appealed to our taste buds. Overall an good experience here despite the rain. read more

Absolutely worth the shuckin' trip to Hog Island Oyster Co. in Marshall! The raw oysters were so fresh, they practically winked at us--and don't skip the hogwash mignonette, it's like a flavor mic drop in your mouth. But the real star? The grilled oysters with chipotle bourbon butter. Smoky, buttery, and outrageously good--we even bought a tub of that magic sauce to take home (yes, they sell it for $15 and yes, we have no regrets). The cheese board for two was fancy without trying too hard, and the spicy clams with nacho chips? Unexpectedly awesome, like a seafood fiesta in every bite. The staff were super friendly too--10/10 for vibes. Just about an hour from Point Reyes, so if you're nearby, make the detour and come hungry. Your taste buds will thank you (and maybe ask for a second round). read more

Sadly, all good things come to an end. For years I visited Hog Island in Marshall, many, many times (20 or more) because of its uniqueness. I always brought guests from out of town out there to have a unique experience. Bring a bottle of wine, a loaf of bread and a side or two with you, buy some oysters and they'd set you up with a table and a grill. From there you'd shuck your own oysters (purchased from them) and either grill them or eat them raw. If you didn't want to do the work, they'd do it all for you and had some limited sides available if you didn't bring any. Yes, it's been five years since I was last there due to many reasons, but I brought some friends who also had been there many times and we were sadly disappointed today. I made a really nice mango/cabbage slaw. My friends brought various cheeses and a loaf of bread and I made some Tiramisus in individual French canning jars for dessert for each of us. Of course we brought some really nice wines with us as well. We were excited and looking forward to the day. However when we arrived we saw that things had changed. While they have a number of Hog Island restaurants in the Bay Area, Hog Island in Marshall was the "Oyster Farm", ie. where they actually harvested the oysters and you were right there at their hatchery (the oyster beds aren't actually seen from their location, but they are close by). None of the people I know ever really thought of this location as a restaurant per se, but as the oyster farm where you could buy oysters and eat them there. Now, it's a Tamales Bay oyster restaurant that serves oysters and a limited number of other seafood items, much like Tony's just down the road and several other places nearby. However they all have more extensive menus than Hog Island. You are no longer allowed to bring your own food, you must buy everything from them. You can of course bring your own wine for a corkage fee of $20, which is reasonable these days. It was never about saving money, it was the uniqueness and charm of going to an oyster farm, getting incredibly fresh oysters and the fun of shucking them and slurping them down. Sadly they no longer offer anything that makes them different from many other establishments in the area. I understand that times change and I'm sure they're making more money with the new setup, but the uniqueness and charm is gone. I had hoped that with all of their other Hog Island restaurants in local cities (that aren't near any oyster beds) they would have been able to appreciate the uniqueness and charm the Marshall location once offered. Sadly, times change and Hog Island no longer offers anything than can't be had elsewhere very close by. Yes, the service was okay and yes the staff was reasonably nice, but again nothing different from other local seafood restaurants close by, except that the others offer more extensive menus. It is doubtful I'll ever go back because living in Marin County there are many places I can buy fresh oysters and there are many picnic tables near Richardson Bay and Tomales Bay where we can have a nice picnic of oysters like we used to do at Hog Island. What was once charming and unique is gone. Sadly times do change. read more

Freshest oysters on the west coast. We always stop by when passing through, cannot recommend enough. The view is peaceful and you can watch the oysters being processed while you wait for your table.

HOG ISLAND OYSTER has been in my list of places to go to for about a decade now. I am so glad I finally got the chance go visit. It was a beautiful fall day and it was a great drive to get there. It was an even better drive going home. It's definitely going to be a day trip if you want to go visit. This is their farm. And you get to buy their oysters directly from them. You get a chance to try out the food on the spot. They have an outdoor eating area next to the bay with picnic tables so you can enjoy the food here. Food is great. Oysters are sweet and clean. Great place to hang with family, friends or with a date. Just make sure you don't wear your heels -- this is not a heels type of restaurant. Think of it as a great post-hike chow. At the front is a to-go window where you can get sacks of oysters to go. If you walk to the back, there is a hostess podium where you can ask for a table. Service is efficient, friendly, and accurate. Champagne served too. read more

I was visiting the area from Los Angeles and drove an hour from my hotel to experience The Hog Island Oyster Bar, but unfortunately, I left deeply underwhelmed. Parking & Atmosphere Parking was limited and cramped, tucked along the side of the highway. The staff were friendly in a laid-back, "stoner-vibe" kind of way, but overall the service and atmosphere felt low-effort. It was clear that most of their attention goes into the oysters themselves. Seating & Service Although I had a reservation, I still waited about 10 minutes--which was reasonable. I was seated at a high-top table right in the sun. While there were plenty of umbrellas, the layout hadn't been thought through, and the setup was uncomfortable. The table height was awkward, with barely enough room for my knees, and the patio overall felt uninspired despite the ocean view. Water is self-serve, which might fit the casual vibe, but at their price point, it felt out of place. Food & Drinks The highlight was definitely the oysters. The raw oysters were fresh, briny, and delicious--easily a five-star item, though quite small. The grilled oysters were good but not memorable. The wild king salmon tartar, however, was bland and uninspired; I found myself relying on hot sauce with every bite. I also ordered the pickled vegetables, which were basic. Overall, the menu lacked the creativity and quality expected at their price point. The drink options were solid, and the locally sourced wine I tried was excellent. But the drinks they serve aren't original--they're simply reselling them. Final Impression After finishing my first round, I wanted to order more raw oysters and another drink, but my server never came back as I was cooking beneath the sun. Eventually, I had to walk up to the host stand to pay my check--and even then, they couldn't provide a working pen. It was a fitting end to an overall "low-effort" dining experience. In short: the oysters are worth trying, but everything else--service, seating, and the rest of the menu--fell flat. Given the drive and the prices, I left disappointed. If you want their oysters, I'd recommend finding them at a different venue where the experience matches the quality of the food. If you don't love oysters, this probably isn't the place for you--there's very little on the menu to satisfy anyone who isn't an oyster fan. read more

I highly recommend taking the farm tour! We did this yesterday morning and it was a wonderful experience. Our tour guide, Marlon, was extremely knowledgeable and engaging. He walked us through the entire oyster farming process, answered our questions, and made all of the information very accessible for those of us who know nothing about farming, much less oyster farming. At the end of the tour, he also taught us to shuck oysters and we each got to enjoy our freshly shucked oysters. We were also offered beverages (alcoholic or otherwise) during the tour (we did pay for these separately), which was a nice touch. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our tour and definitely recommend taking this opportunity if you're in the area! We only wish we had stayed for lunch at the oyster bar afterward, but it was a bit cold and rainy for an outdoor lunch. read more

The Whole Hog Tour plus the Kayak to the Oyster Beds is a wonderful Pt Reyes day! Yesterday we did the Whole Hog tour at the Hog Island Oyster Company after starting the day with a kayak tour in Tomales Bay the Pt Reyes Adventure Company. We HIGHLY recommend this inspired combination of tours that you that you can do in a single day! The kayak tour took us to the actual oyster beds, Hog Island and the far shore of Tomales Bay. We saw bat rays, tiger sharks, star fish, and got an up close look at the oyster beds. The guide was very knowledgeable and fun. We followed that with the Whole Hog tour at the Hog Island Oyster Company. We learned so much about oysters as well as the processes, history and growth of the business. After the tour, we shucked and ate generous amounts of fresh oysters followed by grilled oysters and then a cheese platter. It was all delicious and very filling. read more

Loved the views, service and food! We came by 3pm and got seated after checking in. I can't eat oysters sadly but the pickles and the fish dip were great! I tasted the Bloody Mary which was delicious too. Great small spot with oyster shells everywhere...very authentic. read more

Hog Island Oyster - Views - Seafood Near Me - Marshall, California

I'm undoubtedly a bit biased because I miss what Hog Island used to be. I have fond memories of coming here with a group of friends, bringing our own picnic stuff, getting cost effective bags of different types of oysters and shucking it ourselves. It was what made the extra drive worth it compared to going to the Ferry Building. It was what we used to take out of towners to because it was a uniquely Bay Area experience. It's not a terribly special experience anymore but the staff and the view is what made this a 4 star review. Alas, now there's only one type of oyster, no outside food nor drinks are allowed (except for wine with a corkage fee and birthday cakes) and the food is pricey especially with the 20% autograt plus 5% extra surcharge. The food is mostly appetizer/snack type food so might not be enough for a meal for some. We ordered basically the entire menu for 5 adults and was craving something more substantial afterward. Food wise, everything was good and won't disappoint but also not mind blowing. The oysters and ingredients are all super fresh, high quality, and local. I'm usually a raw oyster person but the chipotle bourbon butter on the grilled oysters make them worth trying. The one dish I didn't care for was the ceviche bc the flavors were too tart without anything to balance it out. My friend thought the tuna bowl tasted like what you'd get at any average poke place. One thing hog island has not lost though is some of the warmest and nicest people on their staff. And the view continues to be amazing. So while hog island has lost some of its charm for me, it's still not a bad way to spend a few hours. read more

WOW! The best seafood that I've had in a while, with a beautiful view. Everything we had was fantastic, and of course we splurged on the oysters (they were so good we had to get another plate). I preferred the fresh oysters to the grilled, but that is personal preference. Crab was nothing fancy, but super fresh. The bread and butter were delicious, and I wish I had it available at home. Bathrooms are spacious and quite clean. One men's stall and one women's stall. Inside is very much what you would expect from an outdoor bathroom. Worth going out of your way to come to this Hog Island location. Make a reservation beforehand. I dream about coming back again soon :) read more

I came here on the 4th of July and there were so many people lined up outside. This isn't a full sit down restaurant so expect there to be a wait! My partner and I ordered a serving of grilled bourbon butter oysters and two dozens of sweet water raw oysters. The grilled oysters were spectacular. It was so sweet and savory. I was expecting it to be on the bitter side because of the bourbon but it was amazing. Now for my favorite part, the raw oysters! I absolutely love oysters and have eaten these at their SF restaurant so I knew it was going to taste delicious. The oysters were so so so sweet and chewy and tasted amazing with their mignonette, lemon, and some hot sauce! We also saw some animals while we were eating too so that was really cute. A delicious meal with a gorgeous view of nature ^ ^ read more

TIP: If coming from east bay, plan an 1-2 HOURS on top of your expected travel time. Our Google Maps made no indication that we would take 3.5 hours total instead of the estimated 2 LOL. We were EXTREMELY lucky that the staff decided to hold our table after I left several voice messages apologizing and updating them on our arrival time (it was also my partner's bday reservation), but I would not expect them to do this regularly. TY Hog Island staff for making my bf's bday so special :') Woooooow I've been to the SF location a few times but this Boat is totally worth the drive. The outdoor view is gorgeous-- sparkling bay waves, rolling green hills, clear skies, it's just the most idyllic scene...! I didn't know this ahead of time, but apparently tables are reserved for the entire afternoon :D So there's no rush dining. We did see a few walk-ins get turned away due to how busy it was (which made me even more grateful for the staff holding our table for so long!). The employees are so kind and lovely. OYSTERS: THEEEEE Hog Island oysters...! Definitely earned their title as some of the best Pacific oysters. Delectably creamy & sweet. MEZCAL LIME BUTTER GRILLED GULF PRAWNS: I'm typically not a mezcal fan but I do love a juicy prawn. Comes with bread to sop up that precious butter :P Love how the lime brings out so much of the smokiness + prawn flavor. CHIPOTLE BOURBON BUTTER GRILLED OYSTERS: Need to get these !!!! The butter is FLAMES. I actually liked these more than the raw oysters... I could eat a whole plate of these. Both great, but the butter really won me over. My bf's first time trying Hog Island and it lived up to all his expectations-- exceeded them, really. We were so thankful for the hospitality and will obviously be back :-) read more

Hog Island Oyster - Raw oysters - Seafood Near Me - Marshall, California

Whoa, this place has a cool vibe, but please moderate your expectations before coming here. This place is known for its fresh and delicious selection of oysters, and I frequently go to their location in the Ferry building, which always a good selection of delicious and fresh oysters. So I finally made the trek to come out to their farm and get oysters from the source-- but was but delighted and disappointed. Its quite a drive out to get here, and if your goal is to eat (dine in) fresh oysters, all the oysters get put on ice first, so the difference in freshness in you making the drive versus their trucks driving down from SF, isn't very clear to me. They usually only have one kind of raw shucked oyster-- which for us was a let down given the long drive. Price was also around $4, so not getting a crazy deal coming all the way out. For to-go, they have a good variety and sizes of unshucked oysters, and price was around ~$3 each. Aside from raw oysters, the bbq oysters were good, and they had a interesting (but limited) selection of other food, including a seafood platter, and meat and cheese platter, etc. Ample alcohol options. The venue is nice and simple, and they have a solid view of the water. Weather was sunny with a light wind. Parking and seating is limited. It wasn't too big of a problem when we went tho. Overall we liked the vibe of the place, and is a nice cozy place to eat oysters with a view of the water, if you are in the area. Food selection is more limited, and if you are looking for a more traditional restaurant and menu, they also own Tony's Seafood which is a bit down the road. read more

I mean, yes, the oyster is fresh (since there is no others offering) but the 4-hours drive from and back to the bay because they want to be greedy pushing for their restaurants sit-down only service and wouldn't let the clients shuck and consume it on the site, was a let down. read more

Definitely pricey (~$50 per person after tax), but I'm still dancing in my seat thinking about these oysters. We stopped by on a Highway 1 roadtrip and it was oh so worth it. It's a little hard to find so make sure to have offline maps downloaded! It's street parking on the side of a pretty fast road so be careful. Dress warm! It will be windy. They do not offer the shuck it yourself bench area anymore due to excessive trash left by people. When you enter, on the left is the togo window where you can buy by the pound and on the right is the little restaurant. The togo was about a dollar cheaper per oyster (plus the shucking knife was $22 + glove included), but we opted for the restaurant experience. We had the chipotle bourbon butter grilled oysters which came out crackling and sizzling and were amazing. We also got the pickles which were a great compliment to the meal. I don't like pickles too much, but it came with an assortment of pickled cornichons, carrots, onions, and cauliflower which were sweet and just lightly pickled. You know the raw oysters are super fresh because you're right on the farm. The restaurant serves the extra small oysters, which I prefer because I don't like having a mouthful of oyster and I love the amount of juice these little ones came with. Not the absolute best oysters I've had, but definitely up there and the view was perfect. The oyster stout was pleasantly delicious with a sweet chocolatey taste. Staff was friendly and striking conversations which made me feel welcome. Would come back again and again (I'm drooling thinking about it). read more
