The Lake Chabot Marina & Café offers a family-oriented atmosphere with phenomenal service. The staff is super nice and helpful, going above and beyond for customers. Visitors can enjoy coffee, snacks, and even a gumball treat for the kids. The boat launch area is well-maintained, with excellent service quality provided by the friendly staff. The café itself is clean, hygienic, and well-organized. Customers appreciate the welcoming and attentive owner, making it a memorable dining experience. The café has recently gained a new energy since the arrival of a new chef, bringing a fresh menu that has become popular among visitors. The menu features must-try items such as The Breakfast Bowl from the breakfast menu and The Hot Dog from the lunch menu, which are highly recommended, especially on weekends. The café is a good spot for everyone, including dogs on a leash. The area around the marina offers many scenic hikes and biking trails, along with fishing and boat rentals. Lake Chabot itself covers about 315 acres and is stocked with various fish like trout, catfish, bass, and crappie. Besides dining, visitors can enjoy a scenic 9-mile loop around the lake, starting and ending at the marina snack bar/café. The marina also offers guided boat tours that explore the Bay Area's history, making it a popular location for day trips and outdoor activities. Parking is available on the side of the road with free parking, but visitors should avoid leaving valuables inside their vehicles.
