Went here for dinner this past weekend. The place was just about getting crowded. Fog Eater Cafe does not have many options for eating. We ordered the Gumbo, Pot Pie and the Kids Cajun Mac n Cheese. We also ordered the Banana Pudding and an interesting South Korean Makku beer. The serving size of these dishes was too small. The kids Mac n Cheese was served in a saucer that's similar to the tea & saucer set. The beer was great and so was the pudding. But otherwise, the food was just about okay.

My meal at Fog Eater was easily the best brunch I've had to this day. I had Brunch Stuff and could not believe how much flavor was in every bite. It's been several weeks and I still crave it daily. Thank you so much! What a gem of a restaraunt.

Came to this place because it was one of the few brunch places open before 10-11 am. I must admit, I was not all convinced. The place inside is small, but they have several tables on the back of the establishment. Inside the decor is nice, and even the bathroom has a nice feeling. The menu was not extensive and to be honest, I was not sold when I finished reading it. We had 2 mimosas, which were OK. Once the food arrived though, all my biases and preconceived ideas came crashing down. The grits were just AMAZING!!! super tasty, flavorful and plentiful. My had had a special all vegetarian. I must admit again that it did not look good, but once I had a bite, I was sold on the plate. The service was super friendly. Highly recommend to visit this place.

Both my wife and I had the best time here last weekend, food was phenomenal, service was impeccable, and ambience is adorable. Well thought out restaurant that I wish we lived closer. Thank you for a great time and can't beat the beautiful weather while we were there. We will certainly be back when we go to Mendocino. If you are in town, don't even think twice about it, just GO!!

We loved the meal here, had the garlic soup, fried oyster mushroom, pot pie, and banana pineapple cake. Everything we had was delicious, the service was great, and atmosphere was extremely pleasant with bright colours and modern French cafe music. Not sure why people complain about portions being small, must be true ‘Muricans used to the large XL portion sizes. We found the portion sizing to be perfect. It was one of the biggest personal pot pies I had ever had. As far as vegetarian places go, it was very gratifying. Food 9.5/10 Atmosphere 9/10 Service 10/10 Value would eat again 9/10

Wow! The food here doesn’t just look great, it also tastes amazing. I ordered one of the entrees of the day, basil cashew ricotta quiche topped with Chantelle mushrooms and a side of heirloom tomatoes and lettuce. I also had the eggplant bisque and the hush puppies. For dessert I had the beignets with the jam and chocolate coffee dips. I’m leaving this review as I wait for the beignets to cool but I already know they’ll be delicious because everything else was. Also, the weather was perfect to sit outside and enjoy the beautiful and cozy backyard setup, but they also have indoor seating. This place is a must try… I wish I was staying in Mendocino longer so that I could try everything else! Thank you!

Food options are limited but good in taste. Portion size is on the smaller side. Staff is welcoming and quick. Parking is on street but plenty. Any of the dish can be made vegan. Sitting is indoor and outdoor. One star is for the malpractices we observed through our. The beignets were offered in a way that they looked complementary, something shall ‘shall I get you beignets before the food?’. We saw that happening to other customers also. And the gratuity is added as 20% by default to any order. Not a great experience and not going back.

this quant mendocino cafe specializing in southern food impresses all around! everything is (mostly) vegan but don’t let that turn you away. the food is so flavorful, you forget there isn’t even meat in it! service was friendly and hospitable and loved the interior decoration and tableware. special shoutout to the unique salt shakers on each table. a must stop for anyone visiting the area and still dreaming about those cheesy grits! beignets: tasty beignets but the stars were the dips. pepper jelly had a unique flavor and don’t usually like chocolate dips, but this one was nice and rich without being too sweet. cheesy grits: perfectly poached eggs, creamy grits, and smoky mushroom “bacon” with sour braised greens to balance it all out. must try!

This was perhaps the best brunch that I've had. The food both looks and tastes amazing! We ordered brunch stuff; The eggs were perfectly poached eggs the beetroot sauce complemented it exquisitely. Super chic ambience and a shootout to the cheerful waitresses/ owners.

Amazing and out of the world taste! We dined here thrice during our trip. Cafe is run by two lovely and lively women. Their service is fast. 20% gratuity is included by default This place is definitely a must when you're in Mendocino. Vibe is lively with soft music playing in the background. Their salt shakers are unique and different on each table. Day 1 Fresh ingredients and flavorful southern plate. Hush puppies were crunchy and delightful. Their orange wine by the glass turned out good too. Chocolate mud pie was decadently tasty. Day 2 For starters, we chose porcini mushrooms flatbread. The bread was crunchy and mushrooms tasted great! We ordered fancy beans and rice and it lived up to its name. It had black grams which had a bit of a smoky taste. It is definitely one of our favorites for dinner. It's not too heavy and is perfect if you want to eat something lighter. We also ordered cheesy pumpkin grits with mushrooms. Pumpkin was well seasoned and melted in mouth. For desserts, we ordered apple caramel pie. We usually don't really enjoy pies but this was baked so well we liked it. Day 3 Last day of our trip, we had breakfast at the inn. We didn't want to miss the special Sunday brunch at the cafe so we still went after checking out. We shared the fired cauli + waffles. The cauliflower was battered and fried and was delicious. The savory waffle had spring onions inside and was served spicy miso. On the side, we ordered black bean sausage. It was chewy and delicious (more than actual sausage :P).

Such delicious food. Friendly and great service. Crab cakes and pie were my favorite. We loved the Friday night natural wine tasting.

Probably the best vegan restaurant I've been. We tried Crabbies which wasn't in the menu, and it was delicious. The staff was friendly and the service was great. I'd definitely come back and recommend this place to others.

Wowow!!! Honestly so impressed by this place. Absolutely delicious. Great food with creative and tasty combos. We aren't vegan or vegetarian and we loved this spot. High quality food and great service. Plus it's super cute and cozy inside. Had dinner and then came back for brunch. Highly recommend and will definitely be back on our next visit to Mendocino!!!

The patio is gorgeous! Their pie is homemade and well made. You have to ask for it though, I didn't see it on the menu for brunch. Someone needs to buy them new coffee carafes though 😂 those things dump so much coffee on the table it was comical.

Absolutely delightful New Years meal here, augmented by a bubbles flight! We had the crabbie appetizer, then risotto & southern plate followed by beet cake. Yum....it was awesome!!!

We had a wonderful dinner at Fog Eater Cafe. The service from getting a table till end of the meal was nothing less than exceptional. We ordered the Biscuit sliders and the Southern plate. Since I have an intolerance to BBQ, our server was kind enough to replace with the mashed potatoes. Everything in our plate was burst of variety of flavors going really well with each other. My favorite was the Cajun Mac n Cheese part of the southern plate which was splendid & well done. I would recommend sitting outside for a date night experience. Kudos to the team for putting out a beautiful menu & the chef who prepared it. We will come here again the next time we visit Mendocino!
