Stopped here on the way for a road trip! It was such a cute breakfast place. Got the pork belly sandwich and oh boy, it was so fatty that I could only eat half of the sandwich. read more

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

Excellent. After a beautiful trip to the lighthouse I stopped into the little town down the road and discovered this gem. The food was amazing, the servers were attentive and friendly, and the ambiance was peaceful and pleasant. I'm tempted NOT to recommend this place because I don't want anyone else to come and overcrowd the seats, but since I love it so much - all I can say it is excellent. read more

Cute little spot off highway 1 for breakfast! My husband ordered the French toast with a side of pork belly and it was superb! I ordered the wild mushroom and cheese scramble and it was delicious! Customer service was excellent! read more

Visited 10/18/24. When it doubt, turn to the rotisserie chicken. A couple at the table next to us said this upon us sitting down and let me just say that they were right. A cute small town joint, this place makes lots of ingredients from scratch and boasts a slightly more selective menu, thus anything you order will for sure be great. My friend and I got the mimosas (you can pour your own juice to bubbles ratio which was nice), and the cauliflower wings to start. The cauliflower wings may have been my favorite things we ate throughout the meal-lots of flavor and good coating. I then got the quinoa salad with added in rotisserie chicken while my friend got the tri-tip beef sandwich. I did get a small portion of my friend's sandwich and we agreed the meat was slightly tougher in a few places but that overall the sandwich had solid flavor. The salad made for the perfect lunch-large portion though so consider the smaller size if not too hungry. Overall I think that this place was a must stop. read more

What's not to love? Friendly and pro active staff, amazing location, great seating both inside and outside, and THE FOOD! Get the BLT. Best one I've ever had (I'm old so I've had a lot!). The jalapeño and onion jam (chutney? reduction?) was so good. Chef's kiss. Gonna make up an excuse to go back to west county just to get the BLT! read more

A Hidden Rotisserie gem at Point Reyes Station! Side Street Kitchen is a collaboration between Sheryl Cahill (Proprietor) and Chef Aaron Wright (Executive Chef). It all started when the previous business in this location closed in 2015. The look and feel of the place is a combination of 50s diners and modern California eateries. Their menu is small by diner standards. It offers a selection of sandwiches, entrees, and a few salads, small bites, sides, and desserts. The ingredients are all from local farms. We discovered the place a while back but did not have the opportunity to dine there until a few months ago. The food is delicious! Their roasted half chicken is fantastic! Their Quinoa Salad, which comes with feta cheese, black olives, wild arugula, and tomatoes, is delicious. I also enjoyed their side of Crispy Brussels Sprouts, which comes with a touch of parmesan, pepper, and coriander. They offer several beers, ciders, and wines if you wish to have a drink. You may consider their delicious Apple Fritters for a few extra calories and wash them with a good cup of coffee! read more

Cute Place, staff was nice and food came out pretty quick. I had the quinoa salad which was yummy but I wish it had more arugula in it, no big tho I would def eat it again. My friend had the Tri Tip Sandwich and they want everyone to know it was delicious. My other friend had the falafel on pita and she says it was good but kind of hard to eat cause it was quite literally falafel ON a pita. They give you a knife, not sure what that's for. The water cups are tiny btw it's kind of comical. read more

The menu is weird, one page of food and 2 or more pages of beverages. We ordered the Brussels sprouts, oysters, patè and warm olives to start. For mains I ordered the open faced veggie sandwich and my husband got the tri-tip sandwich. 1. They didn't have oysters which is odd for restaurant on the coast, in a tourist town, down the road from oyster farmers 2. Sprouts and olives were very good 3. Patè was inedible. It was sweet, flavorless and too much. The crackers as well, were not good "patè" crackers. 4. Veggie sandwich was good but there was not nearly enough hummus. I was very happy with the nuts and seeds though. 5. The steak sandwich fell apart at first bite. The bread could not hold up, nor was it toasted. Also the steak needed to be sliced thinner. Service was good for a place you order at counter but all in all not worth the money. It seems like they stopped trying? It used to be better. read more

Everything I've eaten from this place has been amazing. That said, they are comically ill-equipped to meet customer demand, especially on weekends. It's become a running joke in our home -- the chicken place that never has chicken. "How can you not have chicken?! There's a chicken on your sign!" They have a very small rotisserie oven apparently, and no plans to upgrade to a larger one? Again, in the rare event they do have food, it's always great! read more

we stopped here on our way to point reyes and it was such a lovely meal! I absolutely loved the rustic but modern interior decor (especially the gorgeous bathroom) and loved the fact that the menu had so many vegetarian options. the portions were also surprisingly huge! read more

This place is BOMB. I dream about the open faced veggie sando, the potatoes - OMG the potatoes. The flight of sauces (the chimichurri is to die for) and the Brussels - oh yes. Service is great -- better than it used to be and it's dog friendly outside - they'll even bring your doggo a bowl of water. :) Outdoor seating is wonderful. The meat eaters in the group LOVED their food (pork belly BLT and tri tip sando). Just go there. Omg and the chicken liver pâté is other worldly. I'm a pate snob because I make it myself the French way - theirs is easily as good as mine. I always ask for extra crackers but it's also just good on a spoon. Or your fingers. The little gems salad - perfection. I've never had anything less than delicious from this place. read more

So it looks a little meh from the street. I'm not sure if it's the sign or the awning, but even my 72-year-old mother was like I don't think this would be a good place to eat. Fast forward to inside: very friendly wait/staff gives us menus and tells us we can sit at a table while we decide what to eat and then order at the counter. Perfect! We were starving. Menu was kinda scant, but small town small venues should do this. About 4-5 items per section. We ordered the pork belly BLT with avocado and a baby gem salad. And waters, though it appears they have a decent beer and wine selection! Food came out cuckoo quick!! We were there around 2pm, so obvs no lunch rush. Salad was fresh and delicious. Spicy edge to the herbaceous dressing. I love baby gem lettuces, so all was solid here. BLT: that pork belly was next level good folks!! Don't question, just go dive in! It was crispy, but the melty fatty goodness got ya as you chewed the meat. Holy hell. Seasoning on the pork belly was perfectly basic and on point. Sear was stupendous. Sauce on the sandwich was a little spicy and unexpected.. it was like an onion sauce with spicy something. Not advertised on the menu, but added a solid kick. Small inside, like 8 tables maybe? 1 bathroom, all gender. Plenty of outdoor seating with awnings for good weather. Wish I'd been able to try the pork belly Benedict. I'm sure that shit it ultra next level after our Sando experience. I'll be back! read more

Side Street Kitchen - Pork belly BLAT. Soooooo yum - Sandwiches Near Me - Point Reyes Station, California

We really enjoyed our brunch here yesterday (Sunday). Our party of 4 got there around 9am and did not have to wait--but the place was getting pretty full by then. 3 of our party ordered the eggs Benedict, and it was a winner. I ordered the Green Chilaquiles (I love green sauces) and it was pretty good. My initial impression was that there were too many chips, but that is because I started on the side with few eggs. As I made my way over to more eggs it got better. But I think I would try the bennies next time. The people working here were very nice and attentive. read more

I hate to write a bad review but 2 people in my party got severely sick with food poisoning. I called and they refunded $26 for the plate in question, so I'll give them that.. (although lol- as if that is even remotely sufficient after 3+ days of suffering- but 2 stars for at least offering the refund on one plate). The food is and always has been mediocre, but now that it comes with food poisoning I won't be back and caution others. read more

What a lovely little place, great ambiance and very upbeat. Everyone working has a smile even in the kitchen. Liz, Sierra (best outfit) and Lola (best color coordination) were amazing and had some good suggestions for food. I decided on the pork belly BLT and the yogurt parfait, both were amazing. The apples were fresh and the granola had some nice cinnamon notes. The BLT really took the spotlight, the pork belly would fall apart as you bite, the tomatoes and lettuce were super fresh and the aioli topped it all off. The ciabatta was toasted perfectly. Clean plates for both. read more

We were passing through on a weekday and a lot of places were closed for lunch. This was one of the few options that didn't look over-touristy, and I was pleasantly surprised with the food and the ambiance. It's off of Highway 1 on a "side street" but there is ample parking and before or afterwards you can stroll the few little shops around. You order at the counter and there is ample seating outside, plus a few tables inside. Quite a busy hub even for a weekday lunch! The food was delicious and obviously created with care. My veggie hash was fresh and flavorful. My mom's rock cod also had a lot of flavor and was plated on a fresh green salad; she loved it. The inside decor was colorful and friendly and the outside tables held a mix of retired locals and tourists passing through. Definitely would stop here again! read more

TLDR: A sweet spot with the nicest crew around. Tri-tip is out of this world and the seasonal heirloom bean cassoulet is a family favorite - please bring it back again!

Great spot for a meal especially if you're heading to Point Reyes or coming from Point Reyes! Amazing food and solid service overall. We stopped at this spot on our way to Point Reyes and luckily there wasn't much of a line at ~11:45am (though the line got quite long while we were eating). You go in to order one party at a time, and then you get a number and pick a table either outdoors or indoors to wait for your food. We opted to sit outdoors given the nice weather and how cute their outdoor dining is :) In terms of the food, I got the pork belly eggs benedict (only available on the weekends during brunch time) and my boyfriend got the pork belly BLT sandwich. Their pork belly is tender and flavorful and it was probably the highlight of both our meals. If I ever return, I would definitely opt for a pork belly entree again! read more

Dined solo on a dreary Saturday at Side Street Kitchen. I love little gem lettuce and I read an article in the Washington Post this week that had me craving it. Low and behold, on a trip to Point Reyes to visit a store, I saw that this restaurant had a great looking little gem lettuce - thanks Yelp! I was greeted by extremely friendly staff members outside, checked out the menu, and then went inside to place my order: -Little gem salad with buttermilk dressing and tomatoes - add rotisserie chicken -Brussels sprouts -Golden State Cider Brut I picked a non-heated table outside - they have heaters for people who want them. Dining is also available inside. Beverage came out promptly followed by my meal about 10 minutes later. It was delicious! The salad had the right amount of dressing, rotisserie chicken was shredded and warm, and the Brussels were perfectly dressed and crispy. I look forward to returning when I'm in Point Reyes Station again! read more

If you're looking for a place to sit outside, have a delicious sandwich, and plan the rest of your day - come here and don't think twice.

Surprisingly light and healthy take on a fried fish dish. I ordered the crusted rock cod over rice noodles, wakame salad, sliced cucumbers and pickled cabbage. I was so hungry I took zero pictures once the food arrived. It was devoured though and with gusto! Lots of healthy options on the menu for a lighter fare overall. I had a tough time deciding and landed here thinking it would be a little more robust dish than the falafel dish or the cassoulet. The food felt vibrant and fresh which was lovely. I'm interested to go back and try other things on the menu including dessert. Lots of interesting choices with veggies to consider so the non-meat eater should have plenty to choose from. Just off the downtown stretch, parking nearby, priced well for quality and quantity. read more

Never had the chance to try their chicken bec they are still roasting it. I love their patè- true needs more crackers. The rest of the food is okay. Service is quick, the guy in front is very friendly. There is an indoor and outdoor seating, it gets full quick esp when a bus of tourists will come in to eat. Food is kinda pricey too. read more

My family, dog included, was looking for a place to eat in Point Reyes Station. I'm so glad we found this place. We loved everything we had. The seating is all outdoor. Given the pandemic, we ordered inside one party at a time. They give you a number and mmmmmm to set on your table outside. Staff was friendly. The mac n cheese is creamy, savory, and delicious. The brussel sprouts were seasoned nicely. My daughter had the tri tip sandwich, hub had the rotisserie chicken. They are everything! :) Pup was happy to be with us. Bathroom is clean too. It is a single bathroom, FYI. I recommend this place if you are rolling through town! read more

I hardly complete surveys these days, but the food we enjoyed at the little place was unsurpassed to any other restaurant that thinks it's 5 stars. We were a party of 6 and every single person in our family raved about how good the food was. I had the pork belly BLT sandwich and it was one of the best sandwiches I have ever had in my life. The roasted Brussel sprouts were so perfect as well! Service was great too (with smiles), and just an overall lovely part of our day trip to Point Reyes. We will be back for sure!! read more

Side Street Kitchen gave me 'Shelter From The Storm' (IYKYK) from a recent squall in PRS and I'm so grateful I stumbled in. The staff was amazing, extremely knowledgeable, and rustled up some local smoked oysters (in applewood) in black truffle/garlic aioli--off-menu (off hours--as the local purveyors I was seeking were all shuttered up. I followed up with the cold smoked salmon/pea shoot/poached egg/capers combo and it was perfectly prepared. In sum, great food, great vibe, great staff. I'll be back. read more

I stopped at this place because it was along the way to San Francisco from the beach I visited. I have to say the atmosphere and staff are great,friendly and welcoming. The menu could have more selection on it. However, from what I have ordered to go I can say the following. Rotisserie tri tip sandwich in my humble opinion could have had more meat on it. Also, the beef was chewy and not juicy how you would expect. I gave that sandwich three stars for flavor and composition. Side was potatoes and they were done as you would expect but had nothing extra that would make them stand out. The second sandwich I ordered to go was Pork blt. This sandwich had more flavor and the meat was juicy. However, the goat cheese on it in my opinion ruined the flavor because it is so overwhelming. The side was mac and cheese and it was as you would expect also nothing to stand out. Furthermore, I wish they would give more pickles with each sandwich because three tiny slices just dont cut it. Overall, food could be much better for the price and also being that this place is in prime spot passed by all the tourists. I expected more I guess. Staff made it somewhat better with their smiles and positive vibes. read more

What a gem in Point Reyes Station! All of the food was delicious, and the service was friendly and fast. We came for lunch on Saturday during Memorial Day weekend. The outdoor tables were all full, but we were able to be seated in 5-10 minutes. There were also three empty indoor tables, but it was too nice a day to stay indoors We ordered A LOT for four people and the portion sizes are large, but we finished everything because it was that good! *recommendation *Whole chicken - The chicken was tender and really well seasoned with different herbs, and the three sauces (Salsa verde, chimichurri rojo, and curried yogurt) really took the flavor profile to the next level. My favorite sauce was the curried yogurt - unexpected and complex Pork belly Benedict and pork belly, lettuce, tomato sandwich - both were pretty good. The pork belly was decent but could have been juicier *Chicken liver pate - a surprise hit! Very creamy and slightly sweet *Apple fritters - this dessert comes fresh out of the oven and is filled with fresh cut up apples. The whipped cream adds extra sweetness and also helps cool down the heat Matcha latte - the only disappointment. It was just too sweet. I should have asked fo the drink to be unsweetened read more

We stopped here for lunch while driving towards Point Reyes for a visit. This restaurant is on the street as the name suggests and cute little one. You have to stand in line to order your food. You have a choice to sit inside or outdoors. Please note that when we sat, there was an issue of yellow jacket bees, trying to get a bite from the chicken. It really bothered our kids and we had to take them inside to finish up their meal. Everything else was really great. We got the rotisserie chicken with Yukon potatoes, the quinoa salad, mac & cheese, bread and butter, and the cod entree. All the dishes were excellent. Portion size of mac & cheese was really good for all the kids. We enjoyed the butterscotch pudding as well. overall would definitely recommend this place for the price and the dates of the food. read more

So an interesting note as to visiting the Point Reyes Station area, places like Side Street Kitchen open for brunch, so not breakfast & they don't open until 11:00am. There's a bakery nearby to tie you over, but this place & others seem to open a little later & only on select days. So if you're in the area & it is not Friday, Saturday or Sunday plan ahead. This was a quaint find, you order first, take a table & wait for staff to bring out your food. The staff is on it, the host made some good suggestions the cashier followed up ... We both tried the veggie hash; hubby had it with a side of pork belly, not what he expected, a bit on the too fatty side. I substitute out the soft boiled egg for some avocado. My mistake for not reading that the Chimichurri sauce was made from Serrano peppers; way too spicy for me, perfect for the hubby. The overall dish was a tad too greasy for me. I would try again, maybe for more of a lunch meal of sorts. read more
