Side Street Kitchen had such high reviews we were really excited to sit down and enjoy a meal. We walked up and stood in line, when another customer came up and asked if the people ahead of us had ordered. We said no, we're just waiting in line. They walked around us and went inside. The hostesses came out and speaks only to the people directly in front of us. I heard, "you're in the wrong area, you can order inside." Neither my husband or I are acknowledged, given an eta, or menus. So we wait for the people ahead of us to move and they do nothing but look at their menus. We wait a bit more, nothing. So we walk up to the menu on the wall to decide what we want. The people are still standing there, so we assume they don't know what they want yet and go inside to order. The hostess walks up to us and anxiously tells us there's a line. I let her know we were in it and the people in front of us weren't moving. She tells us to wait outside, and again no eta or menus are given to us. So we go back to our spot in line and look at all the empty tables and decide that the system feels disorganized and there appears to be only one waitress for 10+ tables. After waiting a bit more, we leave. At the end of the day, Side Street could have had proper signage for the line. The hostess could have addressed everyone and handed out menus. The restaurant could have even gone fancy and had an ordering tablet. But as it currently stands, Side Street Kitchen's service isn't great and its structure needs some work, so we don't see ourselves returning. read more

BEST. ROTISSERIE CHICKEN. EVER. And despite ordering at the counter and dining outside, the service was the best I've had from any establishment in recent years. It's actually too bad, because we would have definitely tipped higher if we didn't already pay and settle after ordering at the counter. 4 stars because we also had the pork belly eggs benedict and tri tip sandwich. Both were just good, nothing to write home about. Pork belly was very tender, but the egg yolk was completely solid, not at all runny as a you'd expect in a benedict. Perhaps it was just a bad one off. But that chicken! SO flavorful. Still thinking about it days later. read more

ONE THING YOU NEED TO KNOW: Is that you need to order at the counter first pand pay. They will give you a snazy number sign that you take to a table of your choice. They will bring you your drinks and food. It helps to know this so that there are no misunderstandings or unpleasant experiences that get in the way of enjoying your food and the casual vibe. Fortunately for me, I already know this. But I didn't know about this on my first visit. This time I tried the falafel. It was a different experience than I'm used to. It was served as an open faced sandwich, a different take on a salad presentation. I found that it was a fun experience. You taste every bite that way, and you can sop up the excellent hummus with the pita bread. The staff is always friendly here, and the vibe is easy going casual with excellent food. read more

This is to imperfect no place for a delicious farm to table meal in Point Reyes Station. the service was friendly and quick, and the food was fresh and flavorful. I will be back . read more

Nice spot for a quick bite. You order first at the counter before sitting down, and the food comes out pretty quickly after that. The staff was friendly and polite, which made the experience pleasant. It's definitely more of a casual, order and go type of place since no one checks back once your food is delivered, but it's convenient if you're just looking for something fast. They offer outdoor dining, which is great when the weather's nice, but it does mean some flies find their way inside which was not the most appetizing thing while you're eating. It wasn't a dealbreaker, just something to keep in mind if you're dining indoors. The rotisserie chicken with potatoes was really flavorful and came with their signature orange chimichurri sauce, which added a nice tangy kick. The pork belly sandwich was okay.. I ended up asking for ranch to dip it in, which helped. It also would've been nice if it came with a side. The mac and cheese was decent, nothing special. Overall, it's an okay spot for a quick, filling meal, especially if you're craving that tasty rotisserie chicken. read more

I could say they make an incredible Pork Belly BLT and be done with it. If you love sandwiches like I do, that would be enough reason to visit. But apparently on the weekend they put that same pork belly into a Benedict for Brunch. Youzza I'll definitely be back for that. Additionally you can just tell they pay attention to details from the thoughtful tea service for only $3.50 to beautiful patio dining area surrounded by snap peas and native grasses. And service with a smile always is appreciated. Check em out! read more

It's this simple...Get in line, look at the menu, order at the register, find a seat and in just a short while you'll be eating deliciously prepared food! We chose to share a half roasted chicken with roasted potatoes and salsa verde, roasted, crispy brussels and a quinoa salad. The chicken was roasted just right and seasoned perfectly. I could have eaten more of the roasted potatoes as they were so flavorful. The quinoa salad contained arugula, greek olives, feta and little cherry tomatoes. The brussels for my taste were over crispy with little flavor. Was a gorgeous day so we chose to eat on the patio out front. Highly recommend, can't wait to return! read more

Side Street Kitchen - Sandwiches Near Me - Point Reyes Station, California

This place is run by terrible and incompetent staff and the food is not good at all. Read on to hear this wild story. Owner, please read - you need to seriously reconsider your operations and who you hire. Upon arrival, there is no one present. You have to enter inside to order one at a time, while a line forms outside. It is seat yourself. Lacking many vegetarian options, we decided on the hash brunch dish and the fritters (to come after the meals). The hash came with 2 small potatoes, each cut in half, with mixed spinach, peppers, onions and a couple mushroom slices, with one soft boiled egg. No bread, nothing extra. For $15. I could have gotten literally anything else in the city for this price and it would have been 100x better than this. But I'm not in the city, I'm in Point Reyes, and a place like this doesn't even try because there aren't many options around, so they just don't care to make good quality food. After our plates were cleared, we waited for the fritters for 15 min. No server walked by us at all or acknowledged us. I waived, but no one saw me. They weren't overly busy so I go in to ask about it, and the lady tells me the fritters haven't been dropped yet. What? It means they haven't even started making them. I am pretty upset because we waited and they obviously forgot about our order. But they did not acknowledge it or even apologize in any way. There were 3 servers who asked me what the problem was. "I was not informed," the server says. I vocalized my unhappiness, albeit in a calm manner. I did not curse or yell at anyone. Blank Gen Z stares. Confusion. I go back and sit down, then when the fritters finally come (and are undercooked), the guy server puts them down and says to me, "next time, please be calm because my sister (the other server) is in therapy and she's very sensitive. She was crying because of this." I'm sorry - what???? Are you fucking kidding me?! Now THIS is a new one. Not only did they NOT apologize, but they fucking blame me for making someone cry for bringing an issue to their attention? I worked in the service industry and doing this would have gotten me fired. You never say this to a customer. I was not some asshole yelling and screaming at her. I felt completely disregarded, and was basically blamed for doing nothing wrong. Then the supervisor comes over and starts babbling nonsense, asking if everything is OK. When I am so obviously not OK with any of this, he literally does NOTHING. No apology, no offer to make it right. He just says it's unfortunate and they shouldn't have brought their personal issues to the customer and that was that. He was absolutely useless and awkward as hell. What a weird and terrible experience after such a nice and completely opposite experience at the Heidrun Meadery. You know - people really look forward to dining out. It's all about the experience. And lately these days, this kind of shit is just everywhere. Between the overpriced, garbage food to the terrible service, why should we continue giving you our hard earned money? F THIS PLACE. I'm NEVER going back here. We should have gotten refunded for this shitty experience. read more

This place was not good, but it's the only place with outdoor seating since I had my dog with me. Quinoa salad: okay, pretty mushy. I got the special they had for that day which was spare ribs. SUPER dry. I couldn't even eat it, hardly any meat but most of all it was dry. I ended up giving probably a little more than half to the dog. My sister got a sandwich and it was okay, but not great but it was definitely the best thing we got at the restaurant. Service is adequate- you order and pay at the service window then take your seat. There is 1 bathroom in the facility. read more

Gobbled down our food. Perfect place to refuel after a 9 mile hike! Delicious, quick service, and cute ambiance. We got the Mac & Cheese, Crispy Brussel Sprouts, Buffalo Cauli "Wings", Rotisserie Tri-Tip Beef Sandwich, and Rotisserie Chicken & Potatoes. Everything was so good. My favorite was the Buffalo Cauli "Wings." My friends' favorite was the Mac & Cheese. I have no complaints. The Mac & Cheese had an amazing cheesiness with the perfect amount of al dente pasta. We added pepper to ours because... duh. The Brussel Sprouts were so crispy. The Buffalo Cali "Wings" were also very crispy and flavored amazingly. Solid sandwich but probably my least favorite out of everything. Tender and seasoned chicken with three yummy sauces. Well, it's only been a day... and I already miss this meal. I'd definitely check out Side Street Kitchen if you're looking for a comforting meal. read more

Only restaurant in town open on a winter Wednesday - should get 5 stars just for that. The smoked oysters were odd - tasted like they came from a can and served on not-so-fresh lettuce leaves. But the pork belly blt we shared was delish if a bit salty. Confusing sign outside so we waited as it instructed; ultimately realized it must be left from the summer. read more

Food was superb, especially the BLT. The pork belly in BLT was very tasty and sandwich was well balanced. Quinoa arugula salad was very fresh and light. Place had a relaxed vibe. Customer service was AMAZING from the cashier who took our order, the staff that brought us food and checked in on us and the gentleman who was clearing off our table of extra dishes. Clearly this place has good teamwork down. There was very limited seating inside but more seating available outside. read more

Looking for a solid lunch spot post hiking then this is your spot. Friendly service, good food and the patio is the best spot to enjoy.

Seeing the roast chicken and buffalo cauliflower coming out of the kitchen left us a bit envious so it's on our list next trip. read more

I did not expect to fall in love with the food here. We were in the area felt hungry and decided to make a quick stop. Their tea is all made in house so we decided to try them. We got them unsweetened. -Hibiscus Tea- soo refreshing and fruity - Mango tea- very black tea forward but still delicious. Food: - Rotisserie Chicken: Probably the best rotisserie chicken we have ever had! It was soo juicy and flavorful. We got it with the side of the chimichurri sauce and it went very well with the potatoes and chicken. It had a slight kick to it. - Italian sandwich- This was also one of the best sandwiches we have had. The focaccia bread, the meat, cheese all of it tasted very fresh. It all paired soo well. We can't wait to be back to try more of the menu items! read more

So good. We just were stopping in before heading to the lighthouse. Me and my daughters are vegetarian sometimes this makes finding food on the menu. We were happy to find many options and everyone in our family was happy. Potatos are amazing I would recommend anything that includes them! Yum! Service was excellent and food came out fast. Plus cute little old building that it located in adds to the vibe of the whole place. Would come back when in The area read more

After checking reviews for local places with vegan options, we stopped here. There was a line out the door, but it was moving quickly. We attempted to order several items but were told our choices were no longer available. That's ok, we had back up options and ordered those. The food came out quickly and we were on our way. While the flavor profiles of our dishes were good, nothing we ordered was really worth the cost. Overall, a bit disappointed. Perhaps we caught them on a bad day, but not sure we'll be back. read more

Tried the tri tip tacos. Meat was warmed up and a bit on the dry side and most of the pieces were charred. The tacos were good but could have been better had the meat been freshly cooked and not burnt. Eggs in the taco were good. Just the right amount of food. Nice French press coffee. Service was excellent. Nice ambiance though wished the music was a bit lower in volume. read more

One of the worst service experience I've had in a while. We arrived there on a Sunday around 1:10pm with a group of 5 and were told to wait outside until the inside line cleared out. But when we finally did reach the counter, they took the order of two from our group and confirmed with us that we were with them, and then told us to wait again. We ended up waiting for 15 more minutes while our two friends sat in our booth. It was so ridiculous to ask us if we were in the same group and then totally disregard it. The food was mediocre. Portions are small and fine. The trip-tip sandwich was very little food for the $19 price tag. read more

Great choice in Point Reyes. Service was not speedy but it was Mother's Day. We would try it again.

It was a soggy day and we were hungry after a soggy day of hiking. We were lucky and landed a table inside where it was warm and dry. Outdoor seating is also available. It's small inside and seating is limited. Order at the counter, pay, and grab a table. The food comes out quickly. We ordered the heirloom bean "cassoulet" and the spiced rock cod. Spice Seared Rock Cod at $19 was a light dish. Two small pieces of fish were placed on a bed of butter lettuce, roasted cauliflower, cherry tomatoes, radishes, arugula with salsa verde. You'll need to order some sides if you're really hungry. Heirloom Bean "Cassoulet" at $16 was a mix of perfectly cooked beans, shaved fennel, baby kale, sage, truffle butter, and four pieces of crunchy fried tofu. The truffle flavor was minimal to none, which was fine with me. It was thick and hearty for a chilly damp day. You can add bratwurst for $6 if you want it meaty. I'll be back again next time I'm in town. read more

On a road trip and needing a stretch break, we stopped at PR Station and checked out places for a quick lunch. That's how we walked into Side Street Kitchen. The ambiance is ok, nothing fancy, quaint'ish seating and interiors. Cleanliness can be upped a bit, our table had food residue and the chairs too had crumbs on em! Service is good, not much from the time you order till the time a host brings your order to the table - minimal kinda so not much to comment about. Food: we arrived 2 mins after breakfast hours! So we had to make a choice from the lunch menu. Food is good, pricey and options for vegetarians is a bit poor. The sourdough bread with avocado and some greens on top was scant. The Mac and cheese was ok. The potatoes were good. Overall, give this place a try. Once is good. read more

We stopped in for brunch here because of the reviews. We both ordered the Veggie Hash and wow, what a let down. You get 2 potatoes halved and then an entire onion with a tiny bit of greens and a few mushroom slivers topped off with a cold egg. Who wants a cold egg on a hash for brunch? Flavors were good but for the size of the dish and a cold egg we wouldn't come back. Because of the reviews we may try it again next time we're in town and get something else. Do yourself a favor and skip the hash. read more

Remember, this is West County and a high rating here isn't the same as most Marin County ratings. The produce was great--fresh and varied. However, do NOT order anything with falafel. It is baked and comes out resembling an adobe brick. It is functionally inedible. But might make great building blocks for your grandchildren this Christmas. read more

Fascinating place in the heart of Pt Reyes Station plopped quite literally on an expanse of asphalt in the middle of a parking lot. I have never seen it not crowded, but I genuinely don't understand the hype. As others have mentioned before, they run out of the bulk of menu items by noon. This includes on a random Wednesday. When we arrived just before 12 PM, they had no fish, pork belly, or falafel left (3 out of the 4 main dishes). I can't tell if this is one of those restaurant-psychology things where they create demand by not supplying enough food...? but it's really annoying, and customers have been pointing this out for a few years now. That said, there are some nice veggie, chicken, and fish options (that is, if there's any left by the time you arrive). In a pinch, do what I do, and order a child's cheese quesadilla and a salad - or make a meal out of whatever side dishes they happen to have left. Or just have dessert - although they were out of that, too :(((( There isn't much indoor seating, and the views outside are nothing to speak of, given that you're in a parking lot. We've decided that our best bet in the future is to get a sandwich at one of the local sandwich shops, and picnic on a beach nearby :) You might want to consider the same!! read more

Was happy to find a vegan option in an area where vegan options are hard to come by! When the open-faced veggie sandwich came out, I wasn't sure it was going to be very filling, but it was a good amount of food and had a delicious combination of flavors! Nice indoor and outdoor dining options as well. I'll be back if I'm in the area again! read more

Augh this place is so cute and the food and service is very good! Stopped in Point Reyes for lunch. Ordered the miso crusted cod ( i think that's what it was called) and the Pork Belly Egg Benedict. Ordering u need to wait outside at the host stand and one to two parties typically go in at a time. U order and pay first with the friendly waiter. Then u can choose a table inside or outside under the tent with heat lamps. The food came in about 15 mins. Very fresh. I loved both the dishes. The cod was not fried but covered in seaweed sesame seeds. The flavor of the broth under the noodles was light and delicious. Noodles slightly crunchy and enjoyed the cucumbers and seaweed. The pork belly was very soft and the egg cooked perfectly with oozing yolks. I enjoyed the arugula pairing. Everything was delicious wish i tried their coffee. read more

The first time we went here, it was AMAZING! We live 300 miles away, but we visit the ocean regularly. We stopped here 3 other times to have the same experience but unfortunately they were closed (even though their hours said they would be open). We attempted to try it again last weekend. We got there early, stood in line patiently, went up to the counter to put in our order. The cute blond behind the counter told us they don't serve breakfast on the weekends, although they had eggs benedict. I was confused and disheartened. I drove 300 miles to have their delicious the tri tip tacos, and once again, she said she couldn't make them as it was on the breakfast menu. At this point, I knew we would need to go somewhere else. Considering she said they had eggs benedict, I asked if I could just order some scrambled eggs (they have eggs obviously), and she gave me the worst look I have ever seen on someone. At that point, I turned around and left. We will NEVER be back. What restaurant on the ocean would deny a paying customer for something so easy to make. This restaurant needs to get it together. I am SO DISAPPOINTED. read more

This is a nice spot to come for some tasty food and a hot beverage when it's cold, wet, and rainy outside. Yesterday was my first time here, and it was a nice Oasis of welcome and comfort during the drizzly weather. There are also outside, tented seating areas, so there's room to spread out. There are big plates of half a roasted chicken for big appetites and a selection of smaller ones for less ravenous appetites. For me, a large pint-sized glass of drip coffee with a side of cream, plus steamed broccolini, plus hot bread and butter was just the thing I wanted. I think the huge roasted chicken platter would have been way too much for me. Service was good. The way it works here is you order your food at the register, pay, and then sit down at your table. When your food is ready it will be brought to you. read more
