The Peg House - Leggett, California

Turnipboys

Such a cool spot off the highway in the middle of the woods. They seem to have live entertainment on select days but we stopped by right before they closed so we missed it.

Even though we were the last meals of the day they did NOT hold back. I had the Veggie burger with vegan cheese. The bread is perfectly toasted and so soft inside. It's a hexagonal shape which makes it perfect for gripping as you devour the burger.

The coleslaw side is also really good, not too mayo-y or vinegar-y and really refreshing.

Wish we could have stayed a little longer to check out the attached store. They also have a really cute plant nursery (or something with plants) outside. Really really nice service who accommodated my non-dairy non-red meat needs. Super yummy!

We stopped here in the off season. The place it's all outdoor seating which would be nice if it was warm. It has a very artisan Bohemian vibe. The food was very good. We got burgers, one was a speciality burger they are known for, but I can't remember the name of it. We really liked it. They play live music. This place was expensive. $16-$20 each burger. It included a coleslaw that was super yummy but no fries or chips or anything.

They had a great atmosphere to stop in a grab a great bite to eat when you’re on the road. The burgers had great flavor with a very good ciabatta bun. The live music was a nice touch as well as a nice little gift shop. We will definitely stop in on our way through next time.

I’ve tried many burgers in my life, but I can’t recall another time where I had one wow me this much. Do yourself a favor and try the Lost Coast Burger and Apricot Brie Burger! The goat cheese and honey on the Lost Coast, and the apricot jam on the Apricot Brie were 👨‍🍳🤌 10/10

The burger here was ABSOLUTELY scrumptious! We came here on a recommendation, and it did not disappoint.

Their little gift shop is a maximalist dream, chalked full of fun knick knacks, gifts, clothes, toys, food, and trinkets of all kinds! I could've been in there for hours looking at everything. Whenever I turned around, I saw something new. The gal at the counter was very nice, too. The only thing I'd mention is that the majority of the items didn't have the price listed on them.
The food here was hands down some of the best I've had in a while. There were plenty of options from beef to chicken and even a salmon burger, too. If you're more in the mood for a hot dog, they have it! If you're thinking of oysters, they have those, too!
I had the Sunset Burger and their rootbeer. The burger overall had a great flavor, and the toasted bun was perfect for holding together the juicy patty and all the toppings! Im a sucker for a place that uses good lettuce and tomatoes, and they definitely did.
Also, there's live entertainment! It was a blast listening to live music while spending time with my family and enjoying some good food.

This is such a fun place to stop after spending some time on the river or trecking through the redwoods. I'd say skip the flashy showy tourist stops and come here! "Never Don't Stop"!

Fun, self-contained roadside eatery on the highway. There was live music on the Sunday we visited, and the place was popping. Expected more quaint/small town vibes, but was an overt tourist trap. Quite the cash-grab: $70 for 2 people to eat what was only a little nicer than fast food. It was an experience. If I were to stop again, it would only be for the oysters: they were phenomenal.

This little, messy place saved us from starving and boredom. It was the only place open in miles, and offered us a nice break from our long drive, with tasty and simple food, good coffee, nice souvenirs. The owners were as friendly and welcoming as can be. The outdoor tables made our breakfast in the sun very pleasant. A paradise for the travellers!!

I great stop in the Redwoods. Outstanding burgers (highly reviewed in Sunset Magazine) & Blackberry Sundaes.
An attractive garden like patio to eat in. Sometimes they have live music.
