The oysters and crabs are very delicious! They're so good we went back for 3 consecutive days in a room. Can't wait to go back!

Andrew Naito

Great for a quick seafood bite. Wife enjoyed the oysters, I had the crab and shrimp cocktail.

A great quick dinner after a long roadtrip to Monterey. We had a sourdough bread bowl with clam chowder that hit the spot the first night we were in Monterey. Reasonably priced, too! On another day, we had shrimp sandwiches - there was too much bread and it was dry. Stick with the clam chowder at this place. It was really good. And the staff are awesome!

Had combined sandwich and chowder, both were meh and bland, needed more sauce/seasoning or at least more salt/pepper

Worst! Chowder! Ever!! So watered down!

They have transparent face masks and they cough into their transparent gloves too.

Their Clam Chowder was a joke, we did not taste any clams in the chowder but some pieces of potatoes. Totally wasted our money at place. Not recommended.

Way too little salt in both, chowder and bread bowl.

If I could leave negative stars I would! Was there this weekend with my family and ordered two bread bowls two waters and a juice..30$..I didn’t see him fill up the bread bowls but once we sat down the bowls were full of bread and very little clam chowder! It was very soupy and watery with very little potatoes and clams it was just like a nasty soup…didn’t even finish my whole bowl because it tasted weird within 20 minutes I was cramping sweating and throwing up not to mention the horrible diarrhea for the rest of the day… I will never eat there again it was the most horrible experience I was in pain all day and it ruined my vacation! Save your money and get a bread bowl from a couple places down it’s way better and you actually get clam chowder instead of a bowl of bread!

food is cheap. the only positive. but i wouldnt come back. i ordered the shrimp n crab sandwhich and that was thee saddest looking sandwhich i have had in a loong time. wanted to go to crabby jims, but missed lunch so i tried dockside. i was sadly disappointed in myself for staying and ordering the food. server was on the phone, said hello to a group in front of me, and proceeded to stay on phone while they left. i did not get a greeting from server as he was still on the phone. i spoke up and said what i wanted, he eventually got off the phone and right before he started to make my sandwhich, he had a bit of a coughing attack. i didn't watch but hoped he had washed hands. when it came to pay it was 9 something if using cash or 11 something with card, by this point i just wanted to leave so paid by card. stopped in castroville on the way home and enjoyed phils fish market, and alexandras tostilocos, i highly reccomend!!

Got the crab & shrimp cocktail & the octopus cocktail. The crab was dry & barely edible. The shrimp was good but small & 6 shrimp for $5. The octopus was soaked in vinegar & I threw it away. Wasted of $10. I did tip. They wouldn't let me try the clam chowder.

Got the bread bowl with clam chowder. Bread is terrible/old and not fresh. Clam chowder was all potatoes and almost no clams. The guy behind the counter was really nice though.

The chowder is terrible, but even worse the old woman behind the counter is rude. I ordered a small cup of clam chowder ($4) and when I presented my credit card she rolled her eyes at me and barked that they have a $10 minimum for cards. I told her no thank you then, and it went down hill from there. There was no sign anywhere stating the card minimum, somehow I was supposed to just know. Her attitude was completely uncalled for and not appropriate in any service industry job. I wouldn't buy the last piece of food on Earth if she was selling it. Needless to say I'll never buy anything there again, especially considering the food sucked. I wish I could give this place negative stars.

DO NOT COME HERE. The person didn’t use gloves to prepare the sandwich. Also, the sandwich was just a dry bread.. he just poured shrimp and crab that had been sitting there for a while. Worst food ever.

Watery clam chowder didn't use gloves when handling money and food was in a hurry wished I had just walk away won't go there again.
