What are the best hole-in-the-wall restaurants in NorCal?

Here at Only In Your State, we're firm believers that oftentimes, the very best food is hiding where you'd least expect to find it. One of the best hole-in-the-wall restaurants in NorCal is Spud Point Crab Company, a family-owned and operated chowder house in Bodega Bay. The restaurant doesn't look like much on the outside, but the food is undeniably delicious. From the fresh crab sandwiches to the rich and creamy clam chowder, everything is made in-house with seafood straight from the bay. After one bite, you'll be hooked forever! The moral of the story? Just like books, restaurants shouldn't be judged by their exteriors. It's what's on the inside that counts the most.
