Parkside Cafe

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.

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,

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!
