On our visit to Muir Woods National Monuments, we decided to visit Stinson Beach before going home since we’ve already visited the Muir Beach last time. After the hike at Muir Woods, we were hungry and there’s no restaurant near the beach that’s opened, there’s only this restaurant next to the beach parking lot, so we went in to try it out even though the prices seem a little high but we expected this establishment costs each seat $15 just for a chair.
The servers were quite attentive and pleasant. Every table has a little fan to chase away the flies which is quite effective.
The menu has quite many dishes for lunch. My wife wanted to be safe to order the Burger and Fries, I always love fish and chips so I ordered that, which later my wife told me that I should order the fish taco.
Anyhow, I don’t think it matters what we order, the food here isn’t meant to be special.
The Burger is actually tasteless, no salt, no sauce, no flavor, In-n-Out would taste much better without anything. We share both of our dishes. This is the first time I have to eat burger with ketchup because it’s so tasteless. The fish is crispy and moist but also tasteless, the batter has no flavor, the fish has no flavor, without the tartar sauce it’s uneatable. Yes, the portions are big, the french fries could be better.
Anyhow, we have to try all the restaurants, so at least we know, we should drive 8 miles the other way to In-n-Out for lunch which we would be much happier and less money. While eating the burger, I kept wishing having a five guys burger because I’ve never had any burger like this.

I don’t know why this place has less than 4 stars? We sat outside and ate lunch here after an 8 mile hike from Mill Valley and the food was really good. I had a Benedict #2 with shrimps and crab and a root vegetable hash. Great stuff! They also have a coffee kiosk/bakery and a more casual menu for take out.

We went to the Parkside Cafe for lunch. We sat outside. There was was a nice breeze, and a green scenery surrounding us. This Cafe exceeded our expectations. The food was delicious. Since we were there at 12 pm, we could still order from both breakfast and lunch menus. For an appetizer we got calamari. They were soft and fresh. For main dish, we had fish tacos with halibut and an egg with a steak. The fish melted in my mouth, that’s how fresh, and how properly cooked it was. The steak was cooked to perfection (medium rare). The coffee was also very good. We are definitely coming back! Recommending.

Nice little cafe. The food was good and service fast – had the chop salad, green salad(?), clam chowder and a side of fries. The only downside was that they wouldn’t serve the pizza when you’re sitting down for some reason, it’s only takeaway

We really enjoyed the small-town atmosphere blended with high quality food. We dined there 3 times, plus ordered coffee and pastries to go. Everything was perfect!

VERY crowded and right off the beach entrance. Spendy. My grilled cheese was not as expected, but good. I also liked the coconut shrimp. The fish tacos had a decent patty of fish, but no salsa/flavor.

We came at 5pm on a Wednesday and we were told that anything you order at the snack bar is not able to be eaten at their patio. So we go over to the restaurant instead, intending to order an appetizer and some beers. We get seated and they tell us that we’re not allowed to take up a table if we’re not ordering a full meal each. This is a normal policy, I understand, but there were only 3 tables sat at the entire restaurant (which includes us), with all the rest of the tables, about 20+, were empty. Won’t be wasting my time here again.

On the drive over, my girlfriend and I, both Marin locals, were talking about how much we’ve always loved Parkside and how excited we were to stop in for a couple slices. We even planned on coming back after the beach for dinner and dessert. Unfortunately, the experience we had changed that, and I won’t be doing that now or in the future.

At 3:30 pm on a Wednesday, the restaurant was completely empty, not a single person sitting inside. I bought two slices of pizza and tipped the person who rang me up. When I asked to use the restroom so I could wash my hands before eating, I was denied because I “wasn’t sitting down at a table.” Let me be clear: I was a paying customer. That denial is not only inhospitable, it is not legal. Under California Health & Safety Code (§113953 and §114276), restaurants with seating must provide patrons access to restroom and handwashing facilities.

I understand that people probably try to use the facilities without buying anything. But that wasn’t the case here. What the interaction communicated was that because I didn’t tip that specific server, I wasn’t allowed to use the restroom, despite having already purchased food and tipped his coworker. Pizza was MID.

That’s not hospitality, that’s hostility. We came in as loyal locals and left as disappointed customers. Do better, Parkside.

Came here to buy pastries and coffee. I spilt my coffee on my jacket and wanted to use the toilet to wash it but was denied entry because apparently I was not “dining in” at the restaurant. How ridiculous is that? I was then asked to go use the toilet near the beach. Service when buying the pastries was also not good. Staff kept talking with one another and barely paid attention to you. Never coming back.
