Food was great and came out fresh! Drinks were on point as we had another round! Will be back again when visiting Bodega Bay next time!

My husband wanted some oysters so we gave this place a try, and I'm so glad we did since we went back the next day for more! We had a tasty lunch with raw oysters and a jalapeño mignonette sauce, smoked trout dip, and a bowl of the chowder. The smoked trout dip was pretty good with the chip and pickled onion (my least favorite dish). The raw oysters with the mignonette sauce were fantastic...we went for two rounds! My favorite chowder in Bodega Bay was Spud's, but I think this one knocked it out. I enjoyed the smoky flavor to it! Our kids aren't seafood fans so I really appreciated their kids menu that had butter & cheese pasta. Their Bloody Mary was solid as well! The following day, we had the Wedge Salad and calamari along with a bowl of chowder. The salad was crisp and the combination of ingredients was perfect with all the textures and flavors of the bacon, cherry tomatoes, shoe string onion rings, and blue cheese dressing...the best wedge salad I've ever had! I loved the lightness of the calamari batter as well! This is a nicely decorated and clean restaurant. It was romantic with the view of the bay. I felt the customer service was a little off, but eventually our servers were nicer as both lunches went on. There was a Hispanic man that was very friendly and kept our water filled. We enjoyed talking to him. The customers sure were friendly with lots of smiles towards our kids. This is my favorite Bodega Bay restaurant. I look forward to bringing family and friends. read more

Meh. We were there on Monday at about 1215 or so. It wasn't very busy at the time and the service started out fine but then went downhill from there and never recovered one person at our table ordered chowder and we immediately received soup, spoons, but then we sat and waited and waited and waited, and when the chowder finally came out, it was after the entrées were served. So now you have to choose between having hot soup or having a hot entrée. Very poor. The fish and chips and the captains plate both featured seafood that was far too heavily coated in batter. That was far too thick and heavy. I would never order them again based on this experience. The fries were good as was the coleslaw and the sauces served with the items. The rockfish was very fresh and once you got past all the armor, it was tasty but needed salt. No one ever came to check on us and in order to get just the basics like a refill on iced tea and some salt and pepper we had to flag our server down. The first set of salt and pepper shakers that were delivered were completely out of salt. Seems like no one's doing their side work. The ambience was OK but the style of the restaurant dates back to the 70s and 80sand not in a great way. However, if food and service are good, I really don't care about things like that. The captains platter was very large, so some people would perceive it as a good value, however, since half of it is batter that really deflates that idea unless you like fried dough. The calamari were lightly coated in some kind of flour, but as a consequence, they were not crispy at all. I wanted to like this restaurant and this was our first visit. Not sure I would be back. read more

Solid Waterfront Spot Worth the Stop Great experience overall. The calamari was excellent -- easily a highlight of the meal. The fried fish and shrimp had a really tasty batter, though it ran a bit heavy. Service was quick and attentive, and you can't beat the ambiance sitting right on the water in Bodega Bay. We came through celebrating a friend's bachelor party weekend out of Sebastopol, and this was a great call for the group. Nothing fancy, just good food in a great setting. Would come back next time I'm in the area. read more

Topic: Rocker Oysterfeller's Date: 4/18/26 Quality: 9/10 Value: 7/10 Service: 6/10 Timeliness: 3/10 Atmosphere: 9/10 Total: 34/50 We came in at 8:05 on a Saturday and we were quoted a 30 minute wait, the wait was just under 40 minutes. The server was too busy so the busser ended up taking our entire order. They didn't refill our waters throughout the whole stay. Food was really good ! Everything else had a lot of room for improvement. Beachcomber: 5/10 Didn't taste/look like we expected Moscow Mule: 3/10 Just tasted like smelly vodka, we asked the server and she said the busser put it in wrong as a mezcal mule. I ended up sending it back and the server took it off the bill Filet Mignon (cooked medium): 8.75/10 Pan Roasted Local Fish Filet: 8.25/10 read more

Probably the best oysters I've ever had! We started with the sampler platter so we could decide our favorite and then ordered more of the bodega gems. They were crisp, balanced, and very well shucked. We tried the rocker oysterfeller charbroiled oysters which were fine but the oyster really gets lost. I can see how that would be a plus for some people but I prefer raw oysters. Skip the clam chowder - too thin, tasted like pickles and the bacon overpowered everything. The calamari was excellent with a delicious tartar sauce. Would definitely come back here and I recommend it over the restaurant next door! read more

Amazing service! We left and an hour later I was still raving about the service we received - my water glass was never empty, we had a backup water jug, and were even gifted some small bites of sea salt caramel ice cream to go with our dessert The food was also amazing, I got oysters to start and fish & chips for the main meal. Both delish! We split the sticky bread pudding and could've died after it was everything bread pudding should be read more

This place is so good. Ive gone twice and one of my favorite seafood places. If you are open to sharing I recommend the captains platter.

Otherwise interior had some great views and very open feeling read more

Service is great - we ate here 2 nights and had mostly great food. The wines by the bottle are exceptional and are served at the right temperature and priced very fairly - not overly charged - so order a nice wine and know that you're getting a deal. The fish and chips was good and the fried shrimp - all fresh and not greasy. We normally don't order fried food but this was really light and we were really hungry! The chowder was very good - had that on day one. Had the wedge salad both days and was nice Husband had the creole fisherman stew and loved that with the bread. Didn't love the calamari - wouldn't t order that again. Save room for the soft serve ice cream - we had a small one and it was awesome! Thank you to the staff here - they are exceptional read more

This was my second time at Oyster Rockerfeller's while staying in the Bodega Bay area. Expect a little wait especially on the weekends! If you have a large party though, you can call ahead for reservations. The ambience is nice with perfect views of the bay and a choice of indoor or outdoor dining. Service was friendly on a busy Saturday night. My husband and I shared the calamari appetizer, a cup of chowder and fish n chips. Everything was on point and I highly recommend the homemade fries that are cut and cooked wedge style. Bloody Mary was also delicious and hit the spot! read more

Restaurant Week 2026 Growing up in Sonoma County, we came out to [the old place] all the time but never ate in the restaurant. I had no idea Rocker Oysterfeller's had taken over and it was my first time eating there so I have NO comparison. Came here on a Sunday for lunch. We were immediately struck with the super casual, friendly and inviting vibe. The ENTIRE bar area was filled with patrons and it was only 11:30am. :) No reservations but lucked out with a great table near the window. That day was overcast and cloudy but for me, just beautiful. You're on the water! How can you not love the views!! Seals barking and the caws of birds remind you that you're in Bodega Bay. Started with cocktails - French 75 for me. I admit I was a bit thrown by the purple color but the flavor was very nice. Strong and lemony and had a nice amount of sparkle. Hubby's cranberry drink was less impressive but he follwed it with a delicious hazy from Old Caz. Nice that they feature our sonoma county breweries. We ordered grilled clams and then varying menus off the Restaurant Week offering. Garlic butter clams - they were all kinds of perfect! Clam chowder + BBQ Prawns for hubby, wedge salad + fish & chips for me. Clam chowder - creamy, bacony, plenty of clams. Prawns - I liked the flavor but for me, they were a bit dry. Wedge salad - PERFECT. Every bite was delcious and crunchy and fresh. I liked the crispy onion strings! Fish & chips - we were divided but ultimately it was my order and I'm the one who loved it. (he prefers crunchier) The fish was tender, batter flavorful, and those two were balanced. Service was professional and paced nicely. We were somehow seated in a grouping of chatty/friendly other patrons and it added to the incredibly enjoyable first time visit. I look forward to returning! read more

Chowder was delish & so were their significant Chargrilled Oysters! We also referred the shrimp pasta & fried fish.

We went on a Sunday night on a three day weekend. We got there at 6pm, it was busy and the wait was about 45 minutes. You can wait inside and get drinks from the bar while you wait The restaurant itself is nice and has outdoor seating with heat lamps and a fire pit. We sat inside because it was cold. It was a little loud inside but not overwhelming. A little baffling could go a long way to reduce the sound but it might affect the overall vibe so it is a hard call. I'm not a drinker but I love a virgin strawberry daiquiri. They unfortunately don't make blended drinks so I instead had a virgin mojito which was good. We had an appetizer and two mains. crab cakes - 9/10 - these were delicious, very nice with the remoulade and herb salad. This was much better than having it in the captain's platter captain's platter - 7/10 - good with a nice variety, shrimp and dipper fries were good, the calamari ok. local fish - 8/10 - I liked this more than my wife did. The fish for that day was swordfish. Swordfish is not my favorite but overall it was well prepared and had very nice flavors The highlight was the service. Maeve was great, she offered many suggestions was attentive but not intrusive, super friendly and an amazing server. 5 stars The food was 4 stars with some ups and downs. Averaging 4.5 but I will round up as the overall experience was good. Once again I apologize as my hunger overrides my photo taking urges. read more

We celebrated our anniversary in Bodega Bay, and this spot was our very first stop and it set the tone perfectly. The ambiance was dim and cozy, giving it a really romantic feel. To start, we ordered the sturgeon dip and their popular Rocker oysterfellers, which were a great way to kick off the meal. The lobster pot pie immediately caught our eye, and we're so glad we went for it! It was packed with lobster and potatoes and was incredibly comforting and delicious. We also tried the Starbird mussels, which came with garlic bread and were full of flavor. Service was great throughout our visit. The staff was attentive, checked in on us often, and kept our waters refilled. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and will definitely be back! read more

Came on Veterans Day since I had the day off. There was no hostess at the front and there were several people waiting to be seated so we decided to just sit the bar since the bartender was actually there. As we were waiting the bartender said she'd be right with us. Looked like she was covering the outside patio area as well as the bar so she was pretty busy. Anyways our bartender was great as she was busy as hell. The food was decent not amazing or bad. Wasn't a fan of the chips. They have a weird take on chips. The fish had a little too much batter for my liking. While we were eating we saw people leave that were waiting at the front since no one helped them. Overall the bartender was great but if we hadn't sat the bar we probably would've been ignored for a while. If they were like this on a midweek holiday I'd hate to see it when they are busy. read more

I had raw oysters for the first time in a quite while. I usually prefer them grilled, but these were so fresh! No fishy smell at all, absolutely delicious‼ To the lady at the bar: you were the only great one! However, I couldn't give 5 stars because the rest of the staff seemed really stressed even though the restaurant wasn't full. The service was unusually slow, and I honestly don't understand why it took that long. :( When we arrived, there was no greeting and we waited a while at the front counter with no acknowledgment, so we decided to sit at the bar instead. Honestly, it looked like our server was the only one really hustling taking care of both the bar and the patio. read more

I was hoping to have a better experience here but with lukewarm chowder and pasta lacking seasoning, I didn't. Staff was nice and attentive. Kept my water glass full, that's a plus.

Food & service were FIRE!!! But had to take a star off for all the flies hanging about. Like, thankfully we weren't fighting them off our food, but it does impact the vibe to have them as an audience next to you Anyhow, we had set the bar low based on past experiences, so am thinking they are now under new management. We ordered fisherman's stew, Captain's Platter, oysters, & the deviled eggs. The batter used for the fish & shrimp was so good! Just enhanced the flavors & great texture. The shrimp were HUGE & juicy. No complaints about any of our orders. The server was super nice, friendly, & offered up so great recommendations. This place has definitely stepped up their game! read more

I was excited to try Rocker Oysterfeller's at Lucas Wharf! They specialize in fresh seafood with southern flavor.  During my visit I enjoyed: - Specialty Strawberry Hills cocktail with vodka, strawberry shrub, elderflower liqueur, lemon, rhubarb bitters, and cava - Dungeness crab and artichoke cakes, which came with remoulade sauce over herb salad with fried capers - New Orleans BBQ Shrimp with a Worcestershire butter sauce and garlic bread The cocktail and appetizers were both so delicious. I especially enjoyed the New Orleans BBQ Shrimp and all the flavors.  My friend and I enjoyed a view of the ocean and watching the fisherman come in with their bounty from the day. We also saw some sea lions during our visit as well as many seagulls.  The service was great throughout my visit and the staff was very attentive. In addition to their regular menu, they also have Happy Hour on Monday - Friday from 3-5 p.m., which looks like a great menu as well!  I look forward to coming back soon to try more of their menu and Happy Hour too! read more

Casual, nautical themed seafood restaurant with great views of the bay. Employees were welcoming and friendly but service was a little slow; they'd come by often to check up on us but took a long time to refill our water & coffee (sadly the coffee was lukewarm, even the refill I got); our appetizer (1/2 dozen oysters) came after we had our main entrees & only after we asked about it (we think they might've forgotten?). The Starbird Mussels (creole tomato beer broth, andouille sausage, habanero sauce, served with 2 pieces of garlic bread) was delicious, filling and had a great kick of spice. Portion was fairly large and enough for sharing; my husband and son liked this dish as well. Prior to dining here, I signed up on their website for their rewards program, which offered a complimentary appetizer with value up to $15, but I completely forgot about it until after we had already left the restaurant. :( read more

There's a wait but the clam chowder is delicious! The service is okay but the food is great.

Loved this place. Beautiful views of the bay and always had a table for us :) We came here twice without needing to make a reservation for our group of 6 adults and one 7 year old. They had good variety of food options from pasta to seafood dishes to salads and more. Loved their fried calamari, fish and chips, salads and pasta! The desserts were pretty solid too and the drinks Rock solid! We loved Sasha our first water but didn't enjoy our experience the 2nd night as the female waiter was extremely pushy and we felt rushed throughout. But would return again and would sit at the area where Sasha serves read more

Decided to take the scenic route home from Guernville and popped in to this nice little restaurant on the water. Quite often, when traveling solo, restaurants would rather have you sit at the bar to keep tables open for larger parties (which I totally understand), but I greatly appreciate being offered a table when the location has a great view of the bay. I was taken to a table near the window with the perfect evening view. I ordered the Bird cocktail, Tomales Bay oysters and the blackened shrimp and Carolina grits. The smokiness of the mezcal and kick of the serrano makes for a perfect slow sip cocktail while you enjoy the view. The jalapeno mignonette with the oysters was very tasty! If I wasn't so big on texture, I could have easily ordered 6 more oysters (only comes in 4... but still!) That was a great dish. (Easily my favorite.) The shrimp and grits came with 6 giant, perfectly blackened shrimp in a rich creole sauce. While I can't label it the best shrimp and grits I've had, it is certainly worthy of a try. A rich and savory sauce pooled throughout the grits and permeated each and every bite. ZERO space for dessert was to be had. read more

Stopped by for dinner on our last night, really wish we had gone there our first night too. Great atmosphere and friendly service. My husband ordered the captain's platter, while I had the harvest salad and fisherman's stew. The salad was light and refreshing, while the stew was warm and punching with flavor. The garlic bread was amazing too. Our daughter had the buttered pasta from the kid's menu. Everyone had good things to say about their meals. Looking forward to try the shrimp and grits the next time we're in town. read more

We came in for dinner on a Tuesday night. We started with 4 garlic butter oysters, they were good. We also ordered Bacon Wrapped Shrimp Frogs, there were no frogs involved, and the appetizer was really good, I had never had anything like it, the cheese stuffed shrimp really worked. We also ordered the Steak Frites. I didn't read the menu thoroughly and I was surprised that the steak was swimming in a new orleans style worcestershire butter sauce. But the sauce was tasty and went really good with the fries. I also had a couple of mai tais. The service was excellent and the restaurant was right on the water and clean. read more
