Our server was friendly & courteous and friendly. Their fish & chips were amazing! Love their lemon ice tea. The ambiance was friendly & locals go here as well. This a definite place to stop & enjoy the scenery & food. read more

In this small coastal town of Jenner, there's not much options for lunch. After hiking nearby, Ocean cove is a good place to stop in for some lunch! It wasn't busy at all, there is indoor and outdoor seating. Service was excellent and we were given personalized WiFi codes. Feeling famished, we ordered the burger and the cod tacos. Food was quick, well prepared and delicious. With the wood ceilings, old school rustic vibes with blaring country music, it feels like you're dining in a cabin. A lovey place to stop for lunch on the coast to recharge! read more

The lady server, Mexican one was extremely rude and disrespectful to us. Food is so good and place is beautiful but the lady ruined it.

What a pleasant surprise! We sat at the bar and enjoyed the ocean views. We watched the humpback whales feeding while we enjoyed our lunch. The clam chowder was delicious. Loaded with clams and seasoned perfectly. Our fish & chips and cod po boy were amazing. Love that they serve local beers and all served with a smile. We will be back. read more

We came here for meals on a camping trip/pilgrimage to Fort Ross and had two wonderful dinners here. Food was good and I love the Midcentury atmosphere. Will definitely come again! read more

The food is delicious, staff are kind and gracious, and the view is gorgeous! They make their own sauces. Definitely recommend the tartar sauce and aioli on anything and everything. I even dipped my fries in the tartar sauce. The food was so good, we went back for more the next day! Quesadillas, cod tacos, and fish and chips were all good choices. read more

Very clean. Very professional employees. Order prepared well and truly satisfying. The view is incredibly beautiful of the Pacific Ocean! Having been born in Dayton, OH, it was wonderful to see the vintage National Cash Register in such beautiful condition! They take pride in this and the service they present each and every day.

Good food on the go. This is the perfect place to go if your are staying at the motel already. The spicy chicken sandwich was pretty good. I had to dock this place because of the burger. The fries were decent and the toppings too. The meat used for the burger was totally grease bomb. Paying $18 for a burger should be higher quality than that. read more

We stopped off for a bite to eat at Ocean Cove Bar and Grill and found it to be absolutely delightful. The service was so warm, friendly, generous. He really bent over backwards to serve with a smile. My 4yo enjoyed talking to him as much as we did. The food was delicious. I had the clam chowder and it was some of the best I've ever had- and I'm picky. It had a buttery taste to it that was truly delightful. It was a beautiful day in early March and we were able to comfortably sit outside on the deck which offered a stunning view. There's a glass igloo we could have sat in if it had been too windy. (See it in the background of the picture with the friendly kitty.) If we are in the area, this will become a tradition. read more

Stopped by while camping in the area. It is the off season for visitors, which was actually quite nice having the place practically to ourselves. Service was great and food was even better! The view of the ocean made it a 10/10. Can't wait to come back! read more

We stopped here on our way from Fort Bragg. The place was quiet. It had outdoor and indoor seating options. We choose inside because a bit chilly but the outdoor view was amazing, it face the north pacific ocean. The service greeted us and sat us quickly. She just on us often. We ordered the clam chowder that was made in house and served in a bread bowl. My boyfriend order a old fashioned bacon cheese burger. Both of choice tasted great and will definitely stop again when we are in the area read more

Walt from Walt's Adventures here and, as I travel the West coast, I find myself at the Ocean Cove Bar and Grill. First glacé it appears to be just another restaurant next to a roadside resort. However, this eatery is far more so than it's appearance. The ole staple of Fish n Chips here tasted great. The fish was fresh and the fries were good. Best of all... the eatery is next to one of the best views in California. read more

The huge sign off Hwy 1 caught our attention: Burgers, Seafood, Salads, Chowder! You had us at seafood and chowder... - Salmon and chips ($18): Good beer batter and two moist, hearty salmon filets. A little more fishy tasting than I'd like. Abundance of fries! The meal came with all the very necessary condiments: lemon slices, tartar sauce and malt vinegar. Ok coleslaw. 3/5 - Clam chowder bowl ($9): Creamy and hearty. Hit the spot on a cold evening. 4/5 - Triple berry pie ($6.50): Glad I checked our order before we left because our pie was missing! We wouldn't have it missed that much. Sadly, it was very seedy. 2.5/5 Fast service on a Friday evening. To go orders only right now during COVID. read more

We have been going to Ocean Cove Restaurant, formally Salt Point Lodge. Yesterday we went to the bar for Bloody Mary's. We sat down at the bar for awhile. I had to get up and ask the server if there was a bartender. She said we needed to order at the register. Why didn't she acknowledge us when we walked in or when we were sitting there. The place wasn't busy. We watched her make the drinks. She started making them in short glasses. We told her they are made in tall glasses. She was sloppy and my husband couldn't even drink his because it was so full of pepper. Mine was different but it was so hot I had to wait for the ice to melt to dilute it. She never gave us napkins. The bar was dusty and disorganized. When we left the servers were no where to be seen. End of an era. We will never go back. From now one we will be going to Rivers End. read more

This was our first time here and we will definitely be back. We came mid week in Summer and had no problem getting a site. Sites are first come first serve so show up and pick the spot you want! Windy in the day as expected but that didn't stop us from enjoying our days! read more

After a long hike, it's a perfect spot to grab a bite. Have some (A+ elevated) diner food with an INCREDIBLE view of the ocean. Also home to the World's Friendliest Calico Cat, who will sit on your lap while you enjoy a Fumé Blanc and a cup of clam chowder, while looking out onto the ocean. I'd love to watch a Niners game here. What a setting! read more

Always great food, warm dishes are served hot and fresh food such as salads, served up cool and crisp. Can't beat the view. You can't miss the location as there is a construction company which has been homesteading highway one project since before July 2023. I'm thinking of planting a mailbox there, cuz I don't want them to miss any letters from home. read more

Extremely average place. I'm honestly confused by the 4 star average. Guy taking our order was rude, no eye contact, and made sarcastic jokes. Food was barely even hot.... Reminded me of cafeteria food. Chilli cheese fries were essentially cold and the caesar salad had the tiniest amount of dressing.... Not worth $54 at all. read more

View is wonderful, especially if it's warm enough to eat on the patio. We ate two meals here. The Shrimp Louie salad was quite good. Our prawns and chips was not, shrimp was overcooked and tough. Service was friendly both trips read more

Their fish and chips were good! The clam chowder was a bit soupy and not as thick. The only thing that tasted fake and cheap were the calamari. read more

Great food. Spicy chicken sandwich was amazing - fries were to die for. Tasty fish tacos. And my son's cheese quesadilla was the best I have ever tasted. Great view both outside and inside from the bar. Very friendly staff! read more

We didn't expect a lot. A bar and grill on the side of highway 1. No internet as we approached, but they had an outside deck, it was a beautiful day, and tbe view was awesome. Pam ordered the fish tacos, I got the burger and fies, and we split the Ceasar salad. Expecting the fish to be fried, we were pleasantly surprised it was boiled and tender with a delicate sauce. The salad was plentiful and perfectly dressed. The burger and fries were delicious. A lovely surprise and very enjoyable. And by the way, they make a great margarita. read more

Good lunch yesterday. Nice casual dining spot. Food was good and the staff were friendly. My wife and her mother particularly enjoyed the clam chowder. No internet connection in the area so I couldn't check in. read more

That feeling when you're hungry, see a restaurant, it's the only one for a few miles and so you decide to stop. Don't. Go somewhere worth your money. Friday night, the place wasn't even packed. We got seated but waited for 30mins before somebody even gave us a menu. First red flag there. We ordered shrimp alfredo and steak. Waited another while, no water, no drinks, no nothing. Everything was served all together after about 45mins in the restaurant. The shrimp alfredo tasted like it came out of a box. Shrimps weren't fresh and the sauce was more like soup than sauce. There was an attempt to cover the taste of not so fresh shrimp with cheese. It became a soupy gooey mess on top of fetuccine. It was eatable for someone really hungry. Let's now talk about the steak. I'll call it the steak from hell. Thin cut than a minute steak, not fresh, severely overcooked, by over cooked I mean it seemed reheated over and over because it takes them forever to get the orders and it becomes not leathery but something worse. I won't even feed it to a dog. Our total bill did not justify the whole experience. My advice is to drive down or up and do not stop here. read more

Pros: Really, surprisingly good fries. Well seasoned. Crinkle crust with chili powder and maybe a handful of other spices. Kinda reminded me of what you'd expect from a good 50's style diner. The cod po' boy wasn't bad either, and was definitely a large portion. The sandwich didn't say it came with fries so I almost ordered a side with it. Props to the cashier for letting me know I already got fries. Definitely a good value! Cons: I know space is limited with COVID-19, so we're limited to whatever patios we can find. Totally understandable. My issue is more than half the seating didn't really seem to be following safety protocols (lots of individual seats closely together) and the rules were lax for customers. I completely understand that the staff was all on the inside and we were all outdoors, but there wasn't really much enforcement of the six foot rule or people wearing masks in line. I generally think outdoor eating is safe in these situations, but not when people are entering my bubble to grab their food, without a mask, from the window I'm ordering from. I didn't stick around because I felt uncomfortable, which was a shame. I think the food was great and their value was awesome, but some enforcement during these trying times is important. I know the customers are mostly to blame, but sometimes you have to be the bad guy and enforce rules to make your other customers feel safe. read more

We just love this place. We wanted to give it 3 stars because the rooms are not perfect, BUT the staff here- Tim in particular- was outstanding, so we easily gave it 4. There are 2 adorable kitties on the property, Lenny & Lilly, that will keep you in good company! We got evacuated by the recent fires, had been camping all week and called Tim (with our 2 pups in tow) and he gladly gave us a room. We got a warm shower and slept so well. To accommodate the pups they have a great little fenced in area for them to run and use the restroom in. Unfortunately the bar and grill is closed due to COVID but they provide reasonable frozen breakfast and lunch/dinner options (basic stuff you can find at Costco) that was actually pretty tasty (for frozen stuff). If you have your own cooking devices, there's a (very small) store literally 60 seconds south that one can purchase food at to cook (on the porch). I love the tiles in the shower, and the fun seascape themed bedding. They have an option of a hot tub room upstairs which we want to look into in the future. For now, we can see the ocean from our bed and are very happy here. Thank you for a great stay. read more

Ocean Cove Bar & Grill - Lenny! - Sandwiches Near Me - Jenner, California

Absolutely the best salmon fish and chips I've ever had. Salmon was as fresh as possible. It was cooked to perfection, moist inside and the crispiest breading I've ever had. And it's a stretch to call it breading, because it was so then, and light. fries were the traditional crinkle cut style, and they too were cooked to perfection. Green salad was a bit small for the price. Service met expectations, but food so far exceeded. This restaurant is attached to the ocean cove Lodge. Don't be put off by its apparent lack of curb appeal. This is an excellent place to eat. read more

We love this place. Stopped in on accident on our way to our rental in Sea Ranch and they were great. We ended up going back (out of our way) the next night for dinner and drinks, with friends, even though Gualala was a lot closer. We ate at the bar so we had a great view of the sunset and the whales, but really there isn't a bad seat in the house for the view. They have a small stage and musical instruments on the walls. My husband couldn't resist talking shop and they let him take a couple of fine guitars down and play a bit. The local wine that we got both times, was excellent. As was the beer. Small menu, but excellent. Atmosphere and service are excellent. Classy place but they make you feel part of the family. Just disappointed we had to miss Comedy night, Saturday night, cuz we had to come home. Comedy night was with name comedians, free, and all money for drinks and food went towards the cleanup of Ocean Cove. There is a creek that via waterfall falls over the cliff onto the beach at Ocean Cove and they had a landslide/cave-in/calving event recently. It's still beautiful though. Both the waterfall and the cliffs and beach. It just exposed some of the large hard rock slabs underneath. I forgot to mention that their Wi-Fi is good you just have to ask for the password. So we were able to finally make a phone call to our friends who had already checked in at Sea Ranch. read more

This place used to be amazing. Meet the owner last summer. Super friendly guy and the food was great. Went there on 5/7/23. The guy taking our order was a total jerk. He obviously hates working there. Not sure how he made employee of the month? Probably made then it himself. Our buzzer went off so a few went inside to pick up our food. The rude guy at the counter yelled at them and said he didn't know why the buzzer went off and he would bring our food to us. The fish tacos had a dusting of chopped fish, calamari were cut into straps and the fish sandwich was rubbery. Will be a long time before we go back. Hopefully the super friendly owner sees these reviews and how this guy is running this great place into the ground. read more

A pleasant surprise along Hwy 1. My husband and I had the fish and chips. The cod was excellent and the batter crunchy. The staff were very friendly and fast. The view from the front desk was amazing. What a peaceful place to relax and have dinner. I would definitely recommend this gem. The prices were very reasonable. read more

This place is horrible. Absolute worst customer service, EVER. I stopped to support a local business. Got there an hour before closing. No customers in sight. 'Ring the bell for service', so I did. Saw 2 employees aimlessly milling about. Not even the slightest acknowledgement to me. Rang bell again. Employee walked toward the window without eye contact. She then stopped short and turned her back on me. Their menu listed a hamburger for $16. Go to Coast Kitchen for a Wagyu burger for the same price. Its nearby. This place does not deserve your money. You will be sorry if you stop. Seriously, don't do it, big mistake if you do. SERIOUSLY, you've been warned. read more

Just ok. I'd give it 2.5 stars. Friday night, table sat after us had their order taken before us and it took 20 min to get our order taken. Seafood pasta sauce was thin and for $24 I expected better quality. Caesar salad $10, $16 with shrimp. That's $6 for four medium sized shrimp that were not even on the salad but came as an afterthought in a separate dish, dressing was heavy tasting with little acid. Side of fries turned out the thinnest, cheapest frozen Cisco crinkle cut fries I've ever seen. Muscles and clams were good, nice and zesty and not too butter/heavy tasting. Out the door it was $100 meal, with two pints and I kept thinking I can't believe we paid that much for such mediocre quality. read more
