Stopped for dinner on a Monday. I ordered a bowl of clam…read morechowder, and intended to split an order of cod fish & chips with my wife. We ordered glasses of white wine. The wine came, and my wife's reisling was not very good. They did remove it from the tab. It turned out that the wine was from a quality winery that we were familiar with, so can't explain why it didn't taste good. Food was served quickly and initially too hot to eat. The bowl of clam chowder was very good, and a generous portion. The fish and chips were cooked well, but only two small pieces of cod. Fortunately the chowder filled me up, so we didn't have to split the fish & chips. The chowder was priced ok, but the cod was a bit overpriced for the size of the portion.

Food is great, the tempura cod and salmon were yummy, crabs and the steak super tasty. The salads…read moreare great too. I just wish the portions were bigger. Only 2 pieces of fish for the fish and chips....sad. Service and ambiance was on point, will be back.

I highly recommend the Drop Anchor!

This is still a family fave. A visit to Long Beach is not complete without stopping here. My son…read moreand my moms husband ordered the fish and chips (cod) and my mom and i shared the light combination platter (cajun style). Mom and i had the salad with ours and they both got the clam chowder. I will say that the guys loved their fish and chips and chowder. The shrimp on the salad was nice but its just shrimp on top of lettuce. It's nothing special. The combo platter was not great. I didnt enjoy it and wouldnt order again. The seafood didnt seem cooked all that great. It was disappointing. The fries and garlic texas toast were great though. One thing of note that was great is that they brought the salad and platter out split for us which was really nice. Most places wont do that for you, so i extra appreciated it. Our waitress was amazing. As always the restaurant was clean and beachy.

My husband is a clam chowder fanatic and extra points if he gets it in a bread bowl ( loves his carbs). We had read reviews they had outdoor tables here and the reviews were good so we landed here. The nice lady inside took our order... at first I was not getting anything as I am not a fan of clams BUT she indicated she did have the crab roll which I jumped on. I got the sense she makes all of the food herself? Anyway she brought our food out which we inhaled. The crab roll was EXCELLENT, not sure why I was surprised... the hubs loved his chowder bread bowls well. It's a little hole in the wall sort of place next to a big souvenir store so easily missed. SO glad we spotted it.

We got: Lingcod fish and chips (4/5): Everything was super good, but forgot tartar sauce, and the fish portions could have been bigger Chowder poutine (5/5): since we ordered takeout, the fries and chowder were packaged separately. Came with a generous serving of delicious chowder, and the fries were super crispy as well. Overall, everything was super fresh and high-quality! Would definitely recommend - there is indoor + outdoor seating, takeout, and fresh + frozen fish on sale!

My husband ordered the traditional breakfast, and we asked for the hash browns to be cooked extra crispy--they came out perfect. The restaurant has a beautiful ocean view and a bright, breezy atmosphere. It wasn't too busy, which made for a relaxing breakfast experience. Great food, great setting, and friendly service. I would definitely recommend it!

Watched the Quinaults net for salmon since elementary school, so enjoy their food products. Can get busy during summer, makes a cozy place to come in on a stormy evening for a meal during off season. Can't recall anything but delicious for past 9 years. Staff is well trained, eager to help, attentative.

If you eat oysters, I highly recommend coming here and going on the farm tour…read more We learned about how oysters are farmed, including some science and the owner's philosophy behind what it means to be sustainable. I also really appreciated the history of the area and the oyster industry in Washington. Our tour guide was one of the owners and he was friendly and open to taking the tour in the direction that interested us. We learned how to schuck oysters, and most importantly, they were fresh and wonderful. We also had clam chowder and crab, which were both delicious as well. I will be back to get food again sometime.

I'd enjoy smaller pieces of potato. It needs SALT. It was served hot and fast. We got buy one get one free on the chowder because we stayed at worldmark. There is seating outside that's fairly nice. Good view.

The food was excellent & my margarita was perfect. Cute little restaurant. Be aware it's 21+ only…read more However, the service left something to be desired. While waiting for a table, one of the workers directed us to a corner table. But a solo diner was already sitting there-apparently miscommunication between the staff. Staff had to redirect them to the bar. Once seated, we had to ask 3x for water and despite asking for a straw 3x for my salted margarita, I never got one. In fact, I directly asked the owner/waiter/manager if he had a straw on him-his response "it's probably good that I don't" ‍‍. In general, they appeared very overwhelmed and scattered. My husband stated "almost felt like we were interrupting them ". I asked twice for our check & finally walked up to the bar to pay. Thankfully, the food made up for most of the disorganized service. We both ordered the chopper steak & cheese sandwich and our daughter had a bowl of clam chowder. All of us cleaned our plates!

Funny thing is, I woke up this morning and knew it was gonna be a beautiful and hot day in the PNW…read more Hopped on a trail and walked 4 miles, grabbed an overnight bag (just in case), and sat in the car contemplating whether I drive east or west. A much needed ocean therapy was calling my name and I drove west. Ended up in Ocean Shores. I left my town due to how crazy busy it would be with parades and a carnival, not knowing what's in store here. A pleasant surprise to see the streets lined with families. Anyway, got to shop, enjoy the festivities, and more importantly spend time walking the beach. Gorgeous day! Which led me to try something new and ended up here at the Garage. The atmosphere here was electric with Mariners on a screen over the bar and the FIFA World Cup games on the other screen. Love the open patio area, where a cooling breeze can be felt all throughout the Garage. They were a bit busy, so it took a minute to greet me, but at least I was able to find a table. I ended up ordering their Fish & Chips, and a cup of their chowda! DAMN!!! That's a mighty fine cup of chowda! And the baked buttered crips was spot on. Never had it that way (just the usual soft sourdough or oyster crackers) but them sliced crisps were perfect and I'm going to have to try serving it that way at home. I started out with the Hot Honey Old Fashioned, and surprisingly, there was some heat. Thoroughly enjoyed it! The Fish & Chips were breaded a bit differently. Reminds me of the cornmeal you'd find in the south with fried catfish and what not. The cod was flaky and perfect. It came with three pieces and it was just right. The fries complimented it well. The tarter was legit. Not the standard white sauce, but seemed to have a hint of dill in it. All in all, a great experience for my first time. The staff was busy, but they ensured I was tended to. As always, enjoy and Happy Ocean Therapy!!

This place is now called Skylar's and under new management…read more We went in, apparently on their first "official" day. There is lots of promise in this new fledgling restaurant. With some improvements, I hope to be able to give a 5 star rating. First the good: the building is nicely finished and clean! If I remember correctly, the original was a bit divey and dumpy. This was clean, shiny and bright! Small, the capacity is (I think the sign said) 65 people. So it's not big, but it's laid out nice, and clean! We were greeted quickly by a kind waiter who informed us it was his first day. He did good for a first day. The menu is small, & heavy on the oysters, which isn't surprising for the area. Unfortunately, I am not an oyster fan. But, there were plenty of other things to order. Luckily, we didn't feel like eating fish and chips, because they had run out. So I am assuming their fish and chips must be good for that to have happened. I went with the three tacos, having to choose three shrimp tacos cause they were out of fish as stated above and the other choice were oysters. lol! No problem. I like shrimp. My husband got the shrimp po'boy and fries. Here's where some corrective criticism comes in. The wait time for food was far too long. We sat for about little over 30 minutes before we got our food. Granted, they were apologetic and knew it was too long. I'm not sure what the problem was, but they did make good on it by taking 15% off our bill. They didn't need to do that, but we did appreciate it. I get it....they're new and figuring it out. I have no doubt whatever the issue was, it'll be improved upon. We appreciated the fact that the waiter and the other gal working (I am assuming the owner?) kept checking in and apologizing. As far as the food: we ordered a bowl of chips and salsa to start. Nothing outstanding about them, except we were so hungry we snarfed them down pronto. The salsa tasted like it was out of a jar, not bad but not fresh homemade. (If I'm wrong I do apologize.) My husband said the shrimp po'boy was tasty. He just wished it was a bit bigger. It came on a smallish roll, cut in half with some steak fries. It did look like a small portion for a big fellow, and he left feeling a bit hungry. My tacos were ok. They came with fried, crispy shrimp layered with some slaw in corn tortillas. They were tasty, but, the slaw was overpowering the taste of the shrimp. I wished it had been the other way around. The slaw was very sweet. Not bad, but I felt like it was more a sweet slaw taco instead of a shrimp taco. This review isn't going to stop us from going again. I'd like to try their fish and chips and their burger. And we really want this little place to be successful cause it's been far too long without any restaurants in our tiny little communities. (Nemah and Bay Center) So, I hope to be able to change this star rating to a 5 very soon!

This place is a total local dive spot. But I am so glad we stopped in here and I will be back…read moreevery time we come to town. We walked in and about 5 people were all hanging out at the bar, including employees. You could tell they were all locals and they all turned and watched us. Oh their clam chowder was so delicious and hearty for $5 a bowl it was a bargain. I also ordered fried fish and oysters for $14. It came with 2 pieces of fish and 2 huge fried oysters and fries. Both fish and oysters were delicious. Service was quick and friendly.
