    This is a really cute spot to stop. The people who work there are really nice and it's super clean. I would definitely suggest coming if your looking for a good place to have some lunch and dessert.

    chicken sandwiches with toppings and shake! :D 1.00 more to add a drink and soda (5.00 for sandwich!)

    Went here for dinner last night! It kind of a hidden spot and soon to be a big hit in McK. sense the options for food in this area are quite slim to start. Very casual fun place, with video arcade games. Someone was hosting a birthday party there last night. Very friendly customer service. The sandwiches where excellent. Not enough options for toppings I would have preferred some, shredded carrot, cilantro, and maybe some cabbage. But for 5.00 each I cannot complain! I wish I would have asked if the meat was local....(?) The ice cream was really good, I am also wondering now if that was local Humboldt Creamery ice cream? Great choice if you are in McK!

    Closed an hour early! This is the third time I've come, and they closed early. Please stop closing early, or change your hours!

    Great spot after a long drive to mckinleyville! Ample parking, and not too hard to get a table…read more The place was dog friendly, even if some dogs are barking away. You order inside at the bar. Scan the QR code. Then find a table, We found a nice table on the covered patio. They bring the food out to you, so make sure you take that into account when you tip. They offer the standard bar fare, nicely done. The burgers were quite proper, with all the fixings and varieties. Think bbq sauce, shoe strings, bacon, peppers, and all combinations thereof. Reuben's and French dips too. Nachos, loaded with sliced steak, super toppings, and all the good stuff. Well seasoned fries and you're in good shape. Seems like they have live music every night. Tonight, it was two dudes playing guitar. It was really cool to have them playing some covers plus their own music. But at the same time I kind of felt burdened. With only a couple tables on the whole place we had to pay attention to the performers. Can t really just eat and talk when your tables right in front of them. But all in all, id be back. You can't beat free music so take it when you get it!

    Doing keto with fasting is hard. No problem doing OMAD, but avoiding carbs takes an effort I'm not…read morealways willing to make. They have a great system here. You order at the bar, select inside or outside dining and they give you a number. I scanned the barcode and was ready to order when the folks ahead of me went to a table. Order was taken quick, I found a small table in the beer garden overlooking the distant sea. Burger was done medium and well garnished. Salad was fresh and made as I requested. I have returned and am trying the tuna melt down and coleslaw. Quick service, delicious food and the macadamia nut porter is sublime. So much for keto. But I'm very happy.

    Update: Came back here after four years and this place has really gone downhill. We came as a party…read moreof 8 on a Saturday. Got sat down right away at 5:30. Asked about the happy hour and was told it's only at the bar and patio. Our table is literally between the bar and patio. Server said we can order at the bar and bring it to the table ourselves. Weird! At the bar, we waited patiently as there seemed to be a lot of confusion at the bar cashier and general chaos. There were swarms of flies EVERYWHERE. One even landed on my sister's face while talking! We finally got our drinks and he sent the tab back to the table anyway. What was the point of making us order at the bar? Even more weird! We ordered 6 oysters, but couldn't decide whether to get fresh or grilled. The server suggested both so my husband said sure. A dozen oysters came out. Way to upsell us. I tried to order a cocktail off of their menu and they were out of the ingredients on a Saturday night. I ordered grilled cheese off the bar menu for my four year old. They brought out pastrami panini instead. By the time the correct order came out, he was no longer interested in eating. Grilled cheese was untouched. There is only two bathroom stalls for both genders at this restaurant. One was out of order so there was only one working bathroom for both men and women. My four year old was bent over in pain waiting in line for the bathroom to open. Thankfully he didn't have an accident. When we left the restaurant, there were four people waiting in line to use the restroom. Yikes! After an hour of waiting for our entree to arrive, I was pretty annoyed, but the food was actually good so I was ready to brush all the other annoyances off. But then we asked for the check. The server says their system is down so they can only accept cash. We don't have enough cash to cover dinner for 8. After 15 minutes of waiting around, the server says she will take a check! We don't carry around our check book on vacation. After another 15 minutes of waiting, the server offers her personal Zelle. What a joke. No wonder there was so much confusion at the bar when we first sat down. It's been down this whole time and they never mentioned it! It would have been courteous of them to let us know BEFORE WE ORDERED that it was going to be cash only. Also, they took our credit card information when we made our reservation so they could have charged to it when the system was back up. The food was a lot better this time, but I'll never be back. It's too bad because the view really is gorgeous. The flies and bad service is enough of a turn off. We will keep an eye on our card statement to make sure they don't double charge us.

It's really nice that the little market is reopened with a casual restaurant. The ladies who were working today were friendly and nice. My sister had a Caesar salad, my niece had the barbecue chicken salad and I had the BLT. We were all happy with our food and it was nice to visit the town again.

FME is more than a market or a place to get a bite or a beer. It is a community center for the people that live in and around Fieldbrook. When we got there, we had a hard time finding a place to park. It seems like there was a party going on--we could hear lots of people having fun--behind the market in a huge tent. We later found out that after people get food from the eatery, they can take their food back to the tent and catch up with their friends. The eatery has a bar that you can sit at or take your food back to the large tent that I described earlier. You can watch the cooks prepare your food. I ordered a Ruben and asked for it to be an open face sandwich. What they did, to my surprise, was that they took each piece of bread and put corn beef, sauerkraut, and cheese on each piece of bread. It was really enough food for my hubby and myself--and yummy!!! He ordered a delicious cup of Tuscany soup and a cheeseburger - both very delicious. He had a red beer, and I had a Cherry cider. I was happy to see that they also have kombucha on tap!!! The market is a country market where you can buy basic things like kindling, toilet paper or primary groceries. A local man told me that they used to have the tallest redwoods in the world at Fieldbrook - over 400 feet tall. The walls of the market have some of the old saws that were used to cut the trees down in 1896. They were also games on the shelves for you to play with. The place was very eclectic. There were some leather goods for sale, as well as Amber beads. I wish we had had more time to really look at everything that was there.
