Marin Sun Farms cafe in Point Reyes Station - one of the best meals I've had in a long time.

Apologies if there's already a posting on this - but didn't feel like sorting through all the posts about the brand rather than the cafe.

After a lovely walk down to the lighthouse, my friend and I stoped in to grab a bite. It's definitely gotten a little more formal since the last time I've been, with table service - but the food was incredible.

i had the goatburger with goat cheese, and my friend had the lamburger with lamb bacon (both with other accompaniments too) - both incredible and among the best burgers we've had.

fries are a la carte, but worth the $4, they are thin fries cooked in pork lard to deliciousness.

there's also a wide variety of veggies (we got the kale) lightly fried in pork lard that are perfectly crisped.

still very casual, with the expected ambience and service of the butcher shop that it is, but an absolutely amazing place to eat.

I adore that lamb burger! I go to MSF every time I go to Point Reyes.

My husband and I went recently. Had an incredibly earthy duck soup that was great and the best brussel sprouts I've ever had- fried in lard. I don't care- totally worth 3 extra work outs.

Glad you enjoyed your burgers. We stopped by at the end of September before noon on a Saturday. Had been eager to try some burgers. While the flavors were great, both the lamb burger and the beef burger were ordered medium and arrived well-done. Disappointingly dry. And the side of fries, while delicious, is disappointingly small for the price. I'll gladly purchase meat (and we did: chicken breasts and ground beef to grill on our brief escape to the Russian River) from them again, but will probably seek out other meal options.

i would never order meat that high-quality anything other than medium rare or rare - otherwise you're losing all the flavor. i believe that the fries were $4 and arrived in a medium sized cone - given that they're fresh-cut and organic, i don't think it's that bad of a deal. i also think there's been some sort of upgrade in the past few months
