The halibut was perfectly flaky with a light, crispy batter that let the fresh fish shine. The fries were hot, crispy, and the perfect sidekick. Great food, friendly service, and a laid-back coastal vibe that makes you want to linger. If you're in Bandon and craving fish & chips, this place is definitely worth the stop. We'll be back for another round!

Given it was a Saturday evening there was plenty of outside seating compared to Tony's down the street and much less of a wait. Even though we were dining in, all the food came in to-go boxes with plastic utensils which I find wasteful. They didn't even have salt shakers to use in-house. We had to ask for salt for our fries and all they had was single use salt and pepper packets. A little surprising! C'mon, you can do better and it would probably also save you money to serve some of your food in some reusable baskets and provide condiments for in-house use.

The crab cakes were just as impressive. They were packed with crab, nicely seasoned, and cooked to a perfect golden crisp on the outside while staying tender and flavorful inside. You could actually taste the crab instead of a bunch of filler, which is exactly how a great crab cake should be. The laid-back, waterfront vibe makes this the kind of place where you can grab incredible seafood, relax, and enjoy everything that makes Bandon special. Whether you're a local or just passing through, Tony's Crab Shack is one of those places you don't want to miss. If you're trying to decide what to order, the lobster roll and crab cakes are an easy recommendation.

In my experience, the best fish and chips comes from a small, family run joint next to the ocean…read morethat operates on a shoestring budget, and has lines that stretch down the block. There are notable exceptions like Barrel Mountain Brewing and Kells Irish Pub (look them up if you are in Oregon or Washington). Bandon Bait, true to its name, also sells bait and tackle, and the first time I drove past, it sported a line that ran the length of the building. I have reviewed fish and chips at many restaurants over the years, so I have a lot to compare these with. So, here goes. First, the breading has an herbal flavor, and is delicate without being self-unwrapping. It stays on, which is good. The fish is fresh, and cooked properly. I tend to favor battered fish, as opposed to breaded, though. Still, while it is not my favorite on the Oregon Coast, it has a lot going for it. I'm comparing these fish and chips to the results of a 30 year quest to find the best ones on the Oregon Coast, so not all of them are going to knock my socks off, but that doesn't mean that they are not excellent. They give a little dish of bay shrimp cocktail with each serving. That was nice. My wife had the prawns, and she liked them while remarking that the dill pickle in the cocktail sauce was strange, but seemed to be okay. The fries were shoestring, and got cold quickly in the prevailing gales that buffeted the outdoor tables. I have long hair, and it really wanted to join the clam chowder on the spoon, but that was the appetizer, and will be addressed soon. Back to the fries. They were okay. They had a seasoned salt of unknown origin on them that was pleasant. The chowder was above average. The portion was decent, and it wasn't too thin. It tasted nice, but had an unadventurous flavor. It's the kind you want when you have been disappointed by a previous chowder, and just need something familiar. It tastes good, but not ecstatically good. All in all, it was a serviceable meal. Don't let the mild criticisms lead you to think I was disappointed, or would not recommend stopping in. Just because something is not the best, it doesn't mean that it's not delicious.

Yes, it's mostly bar food, but it's high quality, well-prepared bar food. My husband and I stayed in Bandon for a month to golf and get away from the Fl heat, and after eating at every restaurant in town, this is the place we went back to most often. We are dive bar people, but we are also really particular about the quality of our food, and Old Town never let us down. They offer the standard bar fare (amazing wings, burgers and fries), but also some interesting things like chicken schnitzel (so good) and Korean style short ribs. Staff was friendly, drinks and prices also good, and they have an attached restaurant, Sunnyside, that serves great breakfast.!

Little golf course delight!…read more After having arrived at our destination at the Bandon golf resort after a long and grueling drive, we needed a food place near our hotel. We were staying at the Inn which is within the larger Bandon golf complex. All we were looking for was a place to eat decent food, but we got much more! The curry was very delicious with its assortment of vegetables and protein. The teriyaki had a flavor to it that called for more bites. The Salmon avocado roll also was incredibly refreshing with its generous portions of the salmon and avocados. The servers were exceptionally friendly, and they helped us get oriented at the golf course. They told us about the Old Macdonald golf course, and how there are shuttles that can get us there and everything. Such a lovely restaurant staff! The vibe is nothing remarkable, but the outdoor patio facing the beautiful golf course is something out of a picture book. Highly recommend when you are at the resort! Definitely worth the shuttle ride and checking out the food here.

Although they aren't some glamorous food menu option, they were warm and absolutely perfect. Pepperoni on the pizzas were generous, and the pasta had a perfect amount of cheese flakes that added just the right amount of additional flavor to the pasta. The cookie on the skillet was fantastic as well. Comes with a melting ice cream which made the dessert even more enjoyable. Waiting staff was kind and patient, which helped us because we were exhausted and hungry and couldn't make up our minds fast enough. Much appreciate them. The restaurant faces the golf course greens which is a delight to eat any meal over. Strongly recommended if you are staying at the Bandon golf resort.

Rayvon was our waiter and he was excellent! His pace was perfect. We asked about favorite meals and we chose 3 of his 3 suggestions and were exceptionally pleased. Chicken parm, chicken piccata and bolognese were so good. Since there were 4 of us and only three suggestions (and I have a rule that no one can order the same thing) I chose the rigatoni pompadour. We shared all of our meals so everyone could have a bite to taste. The homemade pasta was so good. The taste, presentation, and portions were perfect We started with the meatballs and focaccia bread. Again, so good. Four meatballs, 4 pieces of bread, 4 people, perfect starters. We finished with the cookie skillet. Again, Rayvon came through with the suggestion of an extra scoop of ice cream which was exactly what we needed as we split the dessert. Our experience and food was so good it ended up being our fav place.
