    Extremely nice experience. We found out about the place from some campers that brought the oysters out to the Oregon Dunes and grilled them. They were absolutely delicious. We ended up going to the business two days in a row for lunch. The cod fish and chips were excellent. Fresh and breaded perfectly. I got oysters on the half shell both days and really liked them. Both the large and small were good. They provide hot sauce and a homemade berry sauce that was good. Sitting outside and watching the oyster operation is really cool. My grandson and his family came the second day and really enjoyed it. Both days were beautiful. Friendly staff and clean restroom. Good job Clausen!!!!!!

    The staff welcomed us right away. Very friendly! There is inside seating and outside seating. We sat outside because the weather was so nice. The food was delicious. My husband had the oyster chowder. It was thick and loaded with smoked oysters. I had the Poki Nachos, with ahi and shrimp. They make their own chips. Everything was fresh and oh so flavorful.

    We stopped for lunch. Close by off 101. They were friendly and helpful making suggestions. We had a dozen raw oysters on the half shell. They're served with cocktail sauce, lemon, mignonette and bottle of hot sauce. They were delicious and well shelled with no crunchy shell in them. We also shared their fabulous oyster chowder which came with two fried oysters as accompaniment. The last item we had were oyster tacos. Also delicious served with a pineapple salsa. We were happily satisfied. We will definitely be back.

    We stopped here for lunch while driving on the Oregon Coast, and it was delicious. I had oyster chowder which I thought would come with chopped oysters. It did but you also get a whole fried oyster. What a bonus! Also, I ordered the fried oysters with fries. The oysters were terrific..nice texture without being greasy. The fries were cooked well too. This is a very casual place. Order at the counter and sit in the dining room that's off to the side. They will bring your food. Service is quick. From the dining room, you can see someone shucking oysters. There's outside tables too.

    So many oyster shells! You'll need to step on them to certain tables outside.

    Enjoy some of the freshest oysters right on the water at this charming oyster farm. Let me just get this out of the way. This was in our top 5 from all the amazing places we visited this summer in the PNW. Obviously the seafood places up here are stellar but this one stood out just a little more. Clausen is an oyster farm, market, store, deli, and restaurant. As you're getting here it feels like you might have taken a wrong turn but don't worry you haven't. You'll be directly on the water and there's plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Super casual as you order at the counter and then find a table. Expect to walk on some monster oyster shells if you'd like a table right on the water. We enjoyed everything outside with a view of Haynes Inlet a bay in North Bend. Their famous oyster chowder is a must. It's made with smoked bacon, celery, onion, potato, cream, and served with a very large fried oyster on top. The oyster is crunchy but so soft and succulent inside. The Hawaiian poke just melted in my mouth and loved that it was slightly sweet. The Baja street tacos were filled with crispy and tender fried oysters. We couldn't get enough of the oysters here!!!! So if you're in OR and are looking for super fresh and creamy oysters this place should definitely be on your list.

    We ordered from this oyster spot to go, and I was genuinely blown away by how incredible everything was. Even packed for takeout, the oysters were unbelievably fresh, cold, and perfectly handled--no sogginess, no shortcuts. Each one tasted clean, briny, and straight-from-the-ocean fresh, which is rare for takeout seafood, let alone oysters. The packaging was impressive and thoughtful: everything was neatly arranged, the toppings and sauces were separated so nothing got mixed or mushy. They clearly put real care into making sure the experience was just as good at home as it would've been in the restaurant. The flavors were amazing, the portions were generous, and everything survived the trip perfectly. This is easily one of the best oyster experiences I've had--dine-in or takeout. If you're an oyster lover, this place absolutely delivers. Staff were all so friendly and welcoming!! MAKE SURE TO GET THE OYSTER SHOOTERS!!

    The oysters were fried too perfection as was the fish. The best french fries we've had in a long time! The outdoor seating amongst all the oyster shells was so much fun! All of the employees were top-notch, they love the company they work for and they're very knowledgeable about their menu. We drove 30 minutes from our Airbnb to get here and we are so glad we did! It was simply delicious!

    We actually live at the California Coast and this was probably the best Seafood we have had. The price is so reasonable. We even took home some frozen Oyster Chowder to share with the family. The service was fast and everyone was super nice. The view is pretty cool. Right on the water and Oyster Shells everywhere. Make sure you arrive early because they do sell out of some favorites. It's that good

    Shrimp tacos

    Been on the Oregon coast for several years. First time and Clausen Oysters and hands down best seafood in the area. And great selection of gluten free items!

    What an epic find! After spending nearly a week on the coast, we were heading out of coos bay destined for Bend and I needed to find one last bite of fresh seafood before we left the ocean! Luckily Yelp lead me to the Clausen and it was the perfect OR coast send off I was seeking. Eating food as close to the source is something I love doing, and knowing oysters are farmed in the bay, I had to get some and Clausen's cafe offered a great menu with a lot of delicious ways to eat the oysters they grow. After talking to the nice guy at the counter we settled on the seafood tower for two, (a dozen oysters, tuna poke, and shrimp cocktail), an order of 3 bbq garlic parm oysters and a side of two fried oysters just to try it all. The raw oysters were easily some of the best I've had. Clean, fresh, briny, delicious and the perfect size for slurping them up! The fried oysters were magic too. A light cornmeal crust blankets the soft and tender oyster, and these are fairly large too. The bbq oysters were perfectly cooked. Each oyster was cooked gently on the grill until it was open, then toped with the garlic and parm before being broiled and served. The oysters remained juicy and tender, and I loved the combo of flavors and textures. Eating all of that right on the banks of the bay, watching the boats bring the oysters to the docks, surrounded by the bails of oyster shells ready to head back out to sea was amazing. I highly recommend this experience and the eats to be had! PS they have a great store with all sorts of fresh and frozen products you can take with you including bushels of oysters, oyster chowder, beer, wine and more!

    Excellent, excellent, excellent! What a wonderful and relaxing way to have lunch on a sunny Saturday! Fresh oysters. There are several different ways to order them including bbq'd and fried. Highly recommend having the raw and the bbq'd with the Parmesan garlic sauce. Someone I was sitting next to said the fried fish tacos were really good too. They have wine by the glass or bottle. Several beer options as well as nonalcoholic beverages. They also sell a few other items like jellies, jams, crackers, the sauces they make, etc. Dog friendly. All tables are outside along the estuary. BEAUTIFUL view!!!! Picnic tables with umbrellas. Side note: I REALLY wish I would have had some sourdough bread to accompany the bb'd Parmesan garlic oysters...that addition would have just exceeded all expectations.

    You can't find fresher oysters. Large and delicious. Staff very friendly and accommodating. Factory atmosphere. You will be right in the thick of it. This is where they harvest prepare and even ship their oysters all over the US. Fun to watch them working. I go out of my way to come here.

    Forget what some reviews may say and take a chance to try this place for an amazing cup of clam…read morechowder and great food! We started out with some calamari which was cooked perfectly! Not greasy and not dried out. Just enough for the 3 of us to get our taste buds going. The elk burger was so tasty and juicy with a flavor that left us craving more. Medium rare with added avocado was the perfect mix. The burger was not so filling that you got the after burger taste and wouldn't have room for anything else. The Marionberry Crisp topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream was enough for us to share at the end as well. Headed up perfectly and delicious! The service was great and the wait time was not long to get a table. Outdoor seating is also available and the inside keeps it nice and cozy for small parties or the occasional big family feasts. We'll definitely stop back here again!

    "Assault & Battery" is how my friend describes overly battered poorly done fried food. This place…read morehas it! Want some weird crusty stuff on top of your clam chowder that makes it hard to eat the clam chowder? Yuppers, they do that too and you get no crackers, which I love to crumble into clam chowder. Fries and garlic bread? Nothing special here either folks. That friend had a half pound burger and found it decent so 2 stars instead of 1 star. Much better seafood can be found on the Oregon coast.
