I have been coming here for crab sandwiches and white clam chowder for the last 20 or so years since I was a kid. The people are friendly and they get the food out to you quick! Depending on what time you arrive there is potential for a line. If you follow the road past the restaurant and up the curve, you have a beautiful view of the ocean and some tables up there to eat. They also have seating at the restaurant. I will eat here as long as they are in business!!! When I have kids I’d love to continue on the tradition and take them here.

This restaurant has a great open invitation vibe. The moment I came in I noticed the chef outside in the front of restaurant grilling up some oysters of which I ordered the Garlic butter grilled or check out few other combinations adding as much heat flavor you need. I also had two of the fried Halibut tacos which were simply delicious they also had zero alcohol beer or a nice selection of other beers. After crabbing for the day it’s pleasant way to end your trip to Bodega Bay. Thanks for the experience.

We were so excited to come here but unfortunately experienced the ultimate let down. We were in Bodega around NYE but couldn’t sacrifice the wait time for the food. So when we came back over Labor Day we decided to make a stop. The clam chowder was great! Not sure if it was worth the 1hr wait to get it though because it tasted similar to other chowders around Bodega Bay. By the time we got to the counter the outdoor tables were closed for the day so we had to take our food home. We also grabbed a $20 crab sandwich which was NOT worth it. They put a decent amount of crab on a Safeway hoggie roll and called it good. No butter, lemon juice or mayo to make it edible. No spices. Just straight crab and hoggie. Worst sandwich we’ve had in a long time. Also parking is atrocious and there are not enough tables to even come close to handling the amount of people who waste their time stopping here. Would strongly suggest going elsewhere if you’re in the area.

We came to try the clam chowder, crab cakes and crab sandwich. They do not disappoint every bite you take is full of flavor. This place is a must stop by and try more then one item. We left full and satisfied.

The best clam chowder in town! I like both the New England-style and the Manhattan-style clam chowder they offer here. Both are very yummy. The New England clam chowder tastes better than most other restaurants. The Manhattan clam chowder is tomato-based. It is very delicious, and I feel that it is healthy. Lol!
There is a long line on most weekends and holidays, but the line is usually shorter before 11:00 a.m. On the weekends, they have crab cakes after 1:00 p.m.
Parking is no problem. There is a parking lot a few hundred feet from the restaurant or another bigger parking lot across the street with a short walk.

The crab sandwich and clam chowder were absolutely delicious!! I’m definitely thinking about coming back! The only downside was that a wasp kept flying around once we started eating, so we ended up packing everything and eating in the car Other than that, everything was great!

Spud Point Crab Company is absolutely worth the wait. The lines were long, but once we got our food, it was clear why—it was delicious. The crab sandwich was packed with fresh, sweet crab meat and just the right amount of seasoning. The clam chowder was equally impressive—rich and flavorful without being too heavy, with just the right level of creaminess. Everything tasted fresh and homemade. It’s a no-frills spot, but they focus on doing a few things really, really well. If you’re in the area, this place is a must.

It was a bit pricey than I was expecting. It was alright a few shells in the crab sandwich and a little sand in the clam chowder. It was a fun experience that check off the list.

Famous for a reason — delicious, but expect a wait
I found this place through Google and ChatGPT recommendations for the best crab sandwiches and clam chowder — and it lived up to the hype!
There’s no need for a reservation, but there’s always a line. During our visit, the line never got shorter — it’s a very popular spot. Service is counter-style: you order at the window, get your food, and then try to find a place to eat nearby.
There are a few tables and some standing spots, but seating is very limited, especially if you’re with kids. We ended up eating at a standing table, which wasn’t very comfortable. A good option is to take your food to the nearby waterfront — there are benches and a nice walking area — or grab it to-go if you’re local.
Now the food — absolutely delicious! We tried both the red and traditional clam chowder — each one had its own unique flavor and was totally worth it. Prices are a bit higher than average, but it’s understandable given the location’s popularity and reputation.
In short: Fantastic chowder and crab sandwiches, iconic local spot, but come prepared for crowds and limited seating. Still 100% worth the visit!

Amazingly good chowder. Very nice staff. Only outdoor seating and it was rainy. Many people enjoyed their food in the cars. Narrowly averted popping tire in parking area
