Spud Point Crab Company - BODEGA BAY

Awesome spot near the bay! Seats outside create a fun environment. We only got the clam chowder at our daughter's suggestion (it was snack time lol) and it was yummy. Next time I definitely want to try the crab sandwich too. The line moved quick so don't let that deter you and the service was friendly too.

Clam chowder was great. Service a little unpleasant but it is a rushed kind of place.

Every sign and decoration in this location says the chowder is good and caution, you may become addicted. After a few less-than-stellar food experiences in Bodega over the past couple days, I was HIGHLY skeptical of this restaurant 's claims. There is a line, always, as far as I can tell until the very end of the day. The hours are early morning for fresh raw fish/seafood and midday until 4 or 5pm in the afternoon for served meals. We drove by at noon to a line around the corner and down the street. We came back at 3pm after a hike to a much shorter, but still wrapped around the shed, line. It took us about ~30 minutes to get up to the counter to order. We each got a clam chowder. Even though I wanted to split it because I didn 't want to be let down again by food I 'm Bodega Bay, my partner insisted we have our own. We also split a crab sandwich. OK. THIS PLACE IS ACTUALLY GOOD. (I will caveat this with...you have to like the taste of seafood. That is what 's served and that is what shines in each menu option). I was so so so happy. The white clam chowder was creamy. I don 't even think it had bacon in it (which a lot of chowders do) and yet it was perfectly salted. Perfectly creamy. Perfectly seasoned. Lots and lots of clams. THANK GOODNESS we each had our own. Yum yum yum yum. The crab sandwich was also the best I have had in my life. It was very simple. Loaded with 1/4 lb of crab meat and a light mayo-based sauce, on a bigger hot dog bun kind of role. It wasn 't dripping with sauce, it was just focused on enhancing the crab as the star of the show and oh my gosh was it ever. It was perfect. It was everything. We did grab a loaf of fresh French bread because everyone else was doing it, and I highly recommend as we ate half the thing by dipping pieces into our clam chowder. The bag says extra sour , I don 't know if I believe that, but it was really good sour French bread and I am glad we had that to scoop up all the clam chowder drops. This place is reason alone to go back to Bodega Bay for a day or weekend trip. Seriously. That good. If you are not convinced, I encourage you to keep your skepticism and be blown away.

Wow. Just.. Wow. Absolutely amazing!! I'm a Monterey Bay native and Monterey clam chowder snob, I've always claimed that my hometown area has the BEST clam chowder. I've been proven wrong in the most delicious way possible. Our clam chowder and crab sandwich were so insanely yummy, we had to grab another round for our trip home to enjoy later! I also had to grab a hat to represent my newfound love out in Bodega Bay. Thank's everyone for the yumminess!!!

Delicious and chunky serving of the New England style white clam chowder it was warm and perfect for a cool day. Get the bread for dipping. Service was fast even though there's a long line.
