"a great place to get a dog or burger & fries which seems funny in a seaside town.
I’ve been here a few times- definitely not a glamorous spot but decent enough and there are views of the Bodega marsh.
I was pleased there were veggie options and ordered the veggie dog which was quite tasty. The fries were very good- if only I had known there are free refills on the fries- how cool is that?!"
