The Plank House just reopened this weekend, after a two-year hiatus and remodel. The results are spectacular! The dining room is very inviting, with very unique features. The photographs of local indigenous activities really round out the vibe well. We ordered off the lunch menu; the mozzarella pearls appetizer was very good. Two of our party had the burgers, which were very generous, and well enjoyed. The shrimp scampi was also very good. My daughter had the crabcake sandwich, and thoroughly enjoyed it. I ordered the Beet, Burrata & Grapefruit salad, and found it to be the perfect flavor. Looking forward to coming back again soon, and trying out some of the whiskey offerings listed. The view from the dining area is quite inviting; I think families will really enjoy this place. read more

My husband and I have dined at the new Plank House Restaurant three times since their opening. We have been very pleased with the food and the service was excellent! We have tried both charcuterie boards, focaccia, clam chowder, the ribeye steak, halibut and a cheeseburger. Everything was excellent. The appetizers were very good with a wide variety of meat and cheeses. The focaccia was fabulous. It is individually baked and so soft and flavorful. My husband's steak was perfectly cooked and very tender. Lastly, my halibut was the best I have ever had, tender with a light sauce over couscous. All three times we were too full to have dessert. The decor and ambiance of the restaurant is very lovely and upscale. We truly enjoyed dining at The Plank. The only thing that we would suggest is more options on the menu. read more

Large family, gatherings, and intimate quiet conversations with a great view of the water

It's over priced. They seem to cater to tourists because locals probably won't go back. The view is nice the tables were poorly designed. They are too big chairs are too heavy to move and if you sit in a booth the waitress can barely reach. Had a crab shrimp salad. Crab tasted like canned and they used arugula lettuce which I do not care for in a Louie. Friend had salmon was just ok. Husband had chicken that was dry. I think there was one string bean. Service was good waitress was great. This was second time and only friend wanted to celebrate 80 bday. We will not go back. read more

Food was good. The oysters were delicious but way overpriced. The server.... We waited a very long time to be seated, and waited even longer at our table. About an hour before we were served our drinks. All we ordered was appetizers. I think it has potential but they need to do something about the staff. There was one waitress for the entire restaurant! read more

This clean, quiet restaurant is tucked away in the back of the Mills Casino. The Mrs & I loved that their restaurants have a separate entrance so you don't have to walk thru the smoky, bell-clanging, beeping & chime ringing casino. We were taken to a table next to a wall of windows that had a wonderful view & in a matter of seconds had placed our order. The service was friendly & I'm sorry, but I couldn't read the ladies name on her ID card hanging around her neck. However, our meals were just okay. I had the scrambled eggs & biscuits covered with sausage gravy with hash browns. Honestly, it was barely warm. The Mrs went with bacon & eggs with hash browns covered in gravy. Hers was also lukewarm at best. We enjoy food served that is hot & steamy. The service & the atmosphere were wonderful, but, you go to a restaurant for the food. read more

Plank House Restaurant - a plate of food on a table - Seafood Near Me - North Bend, Oregon

We visited this restaurant for about a week during our stay for The Mill High Tide Tattoo Festival. The service was amazing. We were promptly seated as soon as we arrived. The view is beautiful with the bay in the background. The employees were all very attentive and knowledgeable. They checked on our table often. Mari was our favorite server, due to her pleasant demeanor. The food was very good. We ate breakfast here the most but also had a delicious pizza to go. All of our food was very fresh and we were allowed to customize our orders. This was by far our favorite restaurant. read more

I was trying to track down this breakfast place because it looks like the best in town and also has the best bloody Mary's. I ended up going to a casino and then asked and they said that the plank house is currently under remodel FYI so you won't be able to go there now and also in the near future. read more

We had breakfast here and it was all good. Great coffee and the chicken fried steak was pretty good. Egg's cooked right along with hash browns and properly toasted bread and English muffins. Service was great. read more

We ate here while staying at the hotel. The service by Jared was exceptional! He was gracious offered wonderful wine recommendations and did not steer us wrong. The shrimp scampi was so delicious I had it two nights in a row! I cannot express what wonderful service we received from everyone in the restaurant. My only wish would be I wish they were closer to home. read more

It was "meh". Overpriced for what you are getting and the quality. Ambiance and atmosphere was right for the price point. Did have a more limited menu that photos I've seen. Which is fine. Nicer places usually have a rotating and changing menu. But a $42 rib eye (14oz) that I could do at home better was a disappointment. Severer messed up multiple times. One person ordered a potato with butter and sour cream. Got the mixed butter with chives. Had the minestrone soup with my meal that was "gluten free". Recover with noodles and croutons in it. Obviously not gluten free. So traded with someone who got salad they didn't like. Then steak came. With butter on top. Despite saying it at least 3 times that I have to be gluten and dairy free. She apparently only ever listened to the gluten part. Server was nice. But not good at following instructions. Steaks we're cooked about right for medium rare which is good. But there's got to be better places to eat a $42 steak then this in town. Sorry to see it was rated so high. I've had much better meals at much less expensive places. $3 for a coffee was ridiculous as well. We ate breakfast the next morning and is much better. Prices still high for what you get. But better service with a more attentive server. read more

Best breakfast in town, their bacon jam burger is the best. Very friendly staff, has an amazing view of the bay read more

Food was wonderful, great views and excellent service! Definitely a place to go for a special dinner.

Worst Thanksgiving experience ever. Last year a friend and I had thanksgiving dinner in the restaurant at noon. She had the turkey dinner and I had a prime rib dinner. I am allergic to turkey so can't eat it. My dinner was delicious and all good. I made reservations for this year because it was such a nice dinner and setting. This year, my friend got her turkey dinner and I was informed I needed to order off the lunch menu which consists of sandwiches and salads. Not sure why the big change, but it kind of ruined Thanksgiving for me to eat a salad with an overcooked piece of salmon on top. read more

OMG - I don't even know where to start. We were looking for a place to have a nice steak dinner...my niece recommended Plank House at the Mill Casino; we decided to give the place a whirl...we're sorry we did! The menu was skinny bordering on anorexic. They only had 2 steak dinners to offer. The steaks were small and the prices were over inflated; I'm talking one steak dinner was $42 bucks a head for a 12 oz. steak! At that price, I'd expect to be fanned and hand fed! Suffice to say we opted out of having steak and settled on other offerings. Their portions were as anorexic as their menu. The food was okay - but NOT for the astronomical prices they charge. Three Rivers Casino's Cafe has much better food for much better prices!!! The highlight of the evening was our server. She did terrific for being new. Other than that, the dining experience was nothing to write home about. read more

Inside the Mill Casino in Coos Bay, Oregon this is the most high end restaurant option. The calamari appetizer with the dinner roll, home made butter, and a cab sab red wine was so good! Formal table cloths, candel lit, and the staff went out of their way having people stay an hour past closing time; and did an extra happy birthday desert and song for a big family while I was there - and you could really tell they cared. There's fresh oysters and this is a great place to get seafood at the casino right on the water with that water front view! read more

To get to the restaurant you have to go thru the casino. That's my only gripe. The smoke filled air is the reason. But service is great. Food is tasty. I had the garlic shrimp appetizer and it was really good. Portion was just enough for what I had in mind. Something lightweight! We also had the Dungeness crab salad. They didn't hold off on the crab meat in the salad. Awesome and very delicious! For dessert we had the chocolate cheesecake. It was perfect! Not too rich. I was in the mood to try their Tiramisu Martini. I will skip this next time. Too thick for my taste. The decor was almost like a ski resort like the main hotel. Warm and inviting. Now the view is worth it. The sunset from the window was very romantic. read more

The food and service is typically good...I had the Halibut and it was not good. Should have stuck with the ribeye.

By far one the worst experience of my life. Took wife out to dinner and decided to give this restaurant a try, WRONG. Ordered calamari adequate, ordered salad,on menu showed iceberg lettuce they had NONE, Wife ordered lamb shank, very fatty but good flavor, ordered shrimp scampi WOW. In my 50+ years in the kitchen, never have I seen nor tasted a scampi like this: No flavor, nor seasoning, no tomatoes,no Italian parsley and little cheese. Terrible. The service was very nice. I will NEVER RETURN and won't recommend to my worst enemy. read more

Ok so my cousin brought me here talking up the burgers and I was not impressed not really for the burger but the worst service I've had anywhere!! Lunch time Bacon Avocado Burger 2 Clam Chowders Fried Calamari I got the avocado bacon burger medium rare and asked for extra sautéed onions no lettuce or pickles. What I revived after about 20 minutes waiting was a plain cheese burger over cooked but they got the onions right. I asked the waitress what was up where the avocado and bacon was she said she would be right back. 5 minutes later I was given a plate with a few slices of avocado and 2 tiny pieces of bacon on it!!! Lucky the manager was talking to us at the moment and remarked what was going on she told him they forgot to add everything together and he told the waitress to take it back and have them make it right as it was already cold by that time as well. She sighed and took it back. I then waited another 20-25 minutes tell the new burger came!! With my cousin and his wife eating there clam chowder and fried calamari of course they felt bad because they had talked up this place to receive this kind of service. Was shocking to them. The clam chowder was slightly cold for my cousins wife. I finally received my correct order the medium rare I asked for was more like medium almost done very little pink to be found. The house made bun was the best part. The flavor of the burger was decent nothing overly special. The fries were good they gave me a hefty portion I guess to make up for the mess up. All together worst waitress I've had she seemed like she was unhappy to be working on a Saturday!! And didn't care about time. Will not be going back for sometime if at all. read more

Jody was the best waitress. Had great insight to the area and the service was superb. The fish came out wit he sauce and she made it right immediately! Thank you Jody read more

Was hoping for homemade halibut fish and chips, and got what looked like frozen fish sticks drenched in grease. Don't let the price tag trick you into thinking this is fine dining, because it's not and it's just inflated prices. Also, my salad was all wilted. The only aspect of the meal that was any good was the dried cranberries on my salad. The server was super nice, too. They need a new chef...yesterday. read more

We have been going to the Plank House for many years. It started out nice but has declined over the years. Their new menu is very short on product. One steak offering at $45.00. Two pasta offerings at around $30.00 One salmon and a couple of other things to order. Not much of a choice. They are WAY overpriced and the food is now mediocre at best. The staff are all very young and there obnoxiousness shows it. We waited 10 minutes to get seated. WOW there were a whole five tables with folks at them. Where was the hostess??? BSing with the servers. After being seated, and waiting 28 minutes while two other couples came in and were served, we asked where our sever was as we had yet to talk to one. The person said I'm sorry and walked back to there station and sat down. We went through three employees with the same answer and results. We did notice that there were 3 servers for the six tables. Two tables per server, a hostess, and a busser. We asked for the manager and got the same from this very young looking girl. The only thing they did say is that we were rude for complaining about there service. Needless to say, we went elsewhere. We will never be going back as they were the rudest staff we have ever encountered. Folks, don't waist your time or money on the Mill Casino's Plank House restaurant. It is now the biggest waist of money. Overpriced and the worst staff in Coos County, Oregon. I am giving it one star, only because I have to give it to write this review. It is worth a minus 10 stars. By the way, it may not bother you, but their hostess has plenty of facial jewelry. I personally do not appreciate this when going out to what is supposed to be a nice restaurant. I think it is rude and ugly. Just my opinion. read more

Absolutely the best Crab Benedict I've ever had! We were camping in the Mill Casino RV lot for the Freighliner Chassis Owners Club Rally, so we were at the Plank House for lunch several days in a row. I also had the best Crab and Avocado Omelette ever! I liked it so much, I chose it again on the next day. My sweetie was very pleased with his choices, too. He chose a chicken sandwich, a hamburger and the triple meat-triple cheese omelette on successive days. The window seating view of Coos Bay is calming and beautiful. It was fun to watch the boats come and go. Service was always friendly and attentive. The decor of the hotel lobby is very woodsy and comfortable, but it really doesn't carry into the restaurant. read more

But it does have a nice view of the river! This place is hit and miss. Today was more of a miss according to my Grandma. She ordered the crab, which I cracked for her like a pro! She mentioned that it lacked flavour, and was a tad bit fishy. With a pricey dish like dungeoness crab, it should be amazing. I tasted it, and wasn't impressed either. I had an Omelette, which was fine. The server was a sweetheart. Another upside was my Sister went out into the casino and turned $5 in to $150 in a matter of 5 minutes. Later on she bought a bottle of whiskey, and we got drunk together in Bandon. $50 for the food if I recall. read more

Food was great! Service was okay. If service was better it would get 5/5 stars. Server didn't ask us for dessert... we had to ask ourselves as she already sent another server to bring us a check. Then that server didn't know the desserts... so she had to find a third server to explain what the options were! read more

Really nice and great view but the food was way over priced for the quality of food they serve. The steak was chewy, the veggies were partially frozen still, didn't get one refill on my drink and we were told because our birthdays were just a day apart that they would sing for us and do dessert, then the guy came and said Nevermind he didn't wanna do it because it wasn't our actual birthday and also didn't even give the dessert THEY offered. All an all gross, cold and bland. next time I'll keep my 200 dollars. read more

Stopped by The Mill Casino for dinner and elected to try The Plank House right by the boardwalk. Unfortunately, it was growing dark due to the late hour, so the lovely view of the water was not visible, but we were greeted by light and airy music, brisk and friendly service. There was a good variety of items on the menu, and to my delight, a special menu of lighter fare, including half portioned pasta. Perfect! I ordered that with fettuccini, marinara sauce, and added chicken. My boyfriend chose the 3 piece fish and chips with a side of clam chowder. During our reasonable wait, we were served tasty bread rolls. We found the portions to be somewhat generous and filling. The food was attractive, piping hot, and comfortingly tasty. My boyfriend especially enjoyed the clam chowder. The pricing was very reasonable, we both left full and satisfied, and our bill was just shy of $25. read more

We had an excellent experience at the Plank House. Our group sampled everything from the wine, mixed drinks, multiple appetizers and entrees, and desserts. They were all fabulous. The views of the bay are amazing. The service is top notch, and the food quality is really really good. it is far beyond what we were expecting and we have had some amazing dining experiences all over the US and Europe. We thought we were just grabbing dinner in a casino while visiting the Oregon coast, but instead were treated to an amazing culinary experience and service as good as anything you will experience anywhere. Bravo to the staff of the Plank House. Keep up the great work. read more

The service was great and the atmosphere was very relaxing; however, the food was not very good. 2 in our party had soup/salad, and their claim chowder was very bland; I had the chicken alfredo, and it just pasta and flour, and the chicken was not good; the best was the shrimp Louis salad, as the shrimp was fresh and plentiful. I greatly appreciate that the Plank House is back open and we can, once again, support the community. So under that lens, I would return. But this used to be a really great restaurant. But now they are only open select days with a limited menu, and unfortunately it's just not very good. read more

Horrible service. The hostess and acts like she really doesn't want to be working here - very rude ,from where I am standing waiting for my table there are 5 empty tables out of seven and she keep saying 10 more minutes. We've already been in line for 20. The management needs to look at this read more

Best restaurant at the Mill Casino, supposedly. Service was stellar but my Osso Bucco was cold at the bone. Sent it back. Wife nearly finished her N.Y. strip before my meal arrived back at the table.

Surprised at the high reviews here. Food is horrible, staff is horrible. Went for dinner last year with a large group & I remember everyone was underwhelmed by their food. Same experience this year. I went again for breakfast because it was the only eggs benedict in town & the hollandaise tasted like B.O! It was totally inedible. Staring out at the river is beautiful, I agree but the quality of the fish feels like you're 100 miles inland. Very disappointing. Also, the staff is very disorganized, brings out the wrong orders, yells. I thought one of our servers was drunk! Felt like service at a Burger King & not at a $20 plate resteraunt. read more

The person I talked to at the Plankhouse did not know what the specials were or why they were advertising a $14.99 seafood special on marquee, but she thought it was for Monday, Tuesday,Friday and Saturday! I said today is Saturday, her reply was next Saturday! They no longer offer a senior or military discount, I have eaten there several times because it is convenient! The service is consistently poor and the food is mediocre! Now that they don't, even offer a SENIOR DISCOUNT or MILITARY DISCOUNT their food is not worth paying exorbitant prices for takeout food quality! read more
