Lunch for 5 today. This place gets busy fast so we got there right before they opened at 11:30. Pretty small menu but what they have is excellent. The 3 pc baskets are enough for 2 people to share. We tried both the cod and halibut. The cod was a lot oilier, but it's personal taste whether it's worth paying nearly double for the halibut. Our order was ready in about 10 minutes, but we were the first ones to order. By 11:44 the place was packed and those folks waited longer, so I get how some reviewers might not be happy with their wait times. Very pleasant outdoor seating with a mini donut and Mexican food cart to provide options. The fries are incredible, so crispy. The fish is pretty wonderful too. We'll definitely stop in again!!

The fish and chips here are great! The fries are seasoned and crispy. The cod is perfectly battered and comes with tarter sauce and coleslaw. Really good food truck with awesome river views on a sunny day :)

I think this was my third or fourth time trying to go to this spot. It's a food cart so beware that they may or may not be open - that's just how food carts are tho. Anyway, I was super glad that they were open yesterday and I finally got to try it. They warned that the wait was going to be an hour, and it was, but I didn't have anything else going on so I waited. It was really great! I liked the batter on the halibut, which was nice and crunchy but not too thick. The battered fries were excellent as well as the slaw. The portion size was about right for $15, pretty good value I'd say, but if I went again I think I'd opt for an extra piece of fish. If you have the time and inclination I'd definitely recommend it. You can sit outside by the river while you wait. Also there is inside seating and restrooms on the deck nearby- that wasn't immediately obvious to me.

The fish n chips here were pretty tasty. Fish was flaky and the batter was light n crunchy. I ordered the pulled pork sandwich special. The fries were perfectly crispy and seasoned nicely. The view by the river makes it super relaxing. Definitely a great find while exploring the cute little town of Nahalem while camping nearby.

After a half day of crabbing, I stopped here for a late lunch before my drive back to Portland. I ordered the halibut fish and chips. The wait was a bit long, but my meal was super fresh, perfectly fried, and piping hot. 10/10 the best fish and chips I've had near the Oregon coast. Looking forward to coming back the next time I'm in the area.

Obsessed with this fish and chips place. The fish is always very fresh and melts. The fries are always very crispy and fresh as well. Love the view and love to look at the water while waiting. The wait isn't too terrible, they're very fast and friendly too. The only thing I wish they had is sauces made in house or with better ingredients.

Shane W.

The bbq pulled pork grilled cheese had a lot of flavor, but it was overly salty and greasy. And you couldn't taste much of the pork itself. The fries had a nice spicy blend seasoning, but were also a bit too salty. The cod was ok, but the batter wasn't that crispy and slid off the fish as it was eaten. We weren't unhappy, but we think we'll look at different options next time we're in the area.

Second year coming here specifically for the fish and chips. Can't get enough of these flaky and lightly fried fish tenders. The tartar sauce is finger-licking good and the meal leaves you fully satisfied. So good!

We found this gem on Yelp! What a find. We eat fish and chips all over the world. The fish was moist and firm, the coating was light and crispy, and we didn't feel grossly full after our meal. Cute spot on the river. Friendly, fast service and outdoor seating undercover. I don't know how fish and chips can be better than this! They are all about the fish. read more

This is one of the best fish and chips I've had on the Oregon coast. The location is a food cart right along the river, so the view is just as nice as the food itself. You can choose how many pieces of fish you get, which is a great option. The batter was crunchy and crispy, the fish had an excellent taste, tartar sauce was delicious, and the fries were great. Definitely stop by here if you're ever in Nehalem. You won't be sorry! read more

Overall great; we had the fish and chips. My only complaint was the fries were way too salty (the flavor and cook were great though). I think they'd be perfect with half the amount of seasoning on them. The fish, tartare sauce, coleslaw, and custom service were amazing. I would definitely recommend this place just ask for light salt/seasoning on the fries. read more

This place was exceptional! The fries were ah-mazing, the fish was fresh and lightly battered to perfection. Usually we don't eat the slaw, but this poppy seed slaw was fantastic. The grilled cheese wasn't your typical grilled cheese. It was on the most delish sourdough bread, grilled to perfection, Yum! The customer service was phenomenal! The ladies were so friendly and helpful. We waited 30 well worth it mintues.

We were thinking as we looked at the Yelp page that it wasn't possible to have a legit, unbroken 44 review streak of five stars. But you know what? This is EASILY the best fish and chips I've ever had, and I've eaten a pretty good amount of fish and chips. Everyone in the group agreed. They looked just like the best pictures--perfectly fried--and tasted as good as they looked. Excellent fries, delicious pulled pork, great seating area with a view of the river.

Fish tacos were fire, the fish was super light, fluffy and crispy. The sauce they out on them was delicious. The ladies working the truck were very friendly. We took our pup and they have a bowl of water sitting out for pups too. We will be back 100%. read more

I added on sausage links and to my surprise they were huge. They were overcooked on the ends, but good flavor. They serve Pepsi here, so I stuck with water. The menu isn't too remarkable, we shopped around in town and were finding very similar menus at almost every restaurant. This is a reasonable walk from the Oregon Coast Scenic Railroad and is near Dairy Queen, so just look for that to locate the restaurant. Service was fine, nothing remarkable about this place, but a solid choice if you find yourself in Garibaldi.

Smoked salmon is an Oregon delicacy and they do it right at the Neahkahnie Smoke House…read more Located at the marina in Wheeler, it is only open a few days a week and there are a number of closures throughout the year. I've learned to check their business page on Facebook to see if I should make the drive or you can call since they also close early if they are sold out. Where we initially discovered their tasty smoked salmon was at the Manzanita Farmers Market where they regularly have a booth from mid-May through September. The only downside is that they don't carry their full range of products at the market, but still it is a great experience. To see all of the options from fresh salmon chowder, salmon spreads, smoked salmon mac & cheese, and the salmon sushi bake. At the store they also carry a number of dessert items. Depending on the day's catch, they frequently have King, Coho, Sockeye, Black Cod, Tuna, and Steelhead. We've tried a number of smoked salmon options on the coast from Astoria to Newport, and the Neahkahnie Smoke House is a our regular spot.

We ordered 6 oyster shooters and the smoked albacore tuna sandwich. The wait was short, and everything came out all together. Seating is outdoors with tables, benches, and umbrellas. The oyster shooters were very reasonably priced and delicious. They tasted so fresh with no overly "oceany" flavor. I had 3 with their cocktail sauce and 3 with hot sauce. They brought out both Tabasco and Cholula so I could choose between them. The smoked albacore tuna sandwich was yummy and came with a side of chips. Overall, I had a great experience and would definitely come back especially if you're looking for fresh and affordable oyster shooters.

The bread bowls are frozen- the claw chowder I would say was stocked: real red potatoes and lots of clams, the downside was is it wasn't super creamy... it had a strange taste, and I think it's the stock they use. The bread bowls top is made with rosemary and it's actually really good with the butter. Overall it's not something I would order again. We had canned sodas. Service- was alright. The guy who was in the kitchen was off somewhere else so another guy came up and had said he was off duty but the guy would be back soon. I'd say we waited about 10-15 minutes. Ambiance, the shop inside is decent and clean. I'm not sure that I'd recommend this place based on they didn't have half of the items we originally wanted to get.

Per recommendation of front desk at RiverTide Suites we tried this place out. Not disappointed,…read moreservice was friendly, good amount of seating indoors and out and partially out as we were. Outdoor has large tables with fireplaces which would be great for large groups. We started with the fast fried Calamari, which was a good amount with both rings and tentacles. Wife had the Cioppino while I had the Seafood Pasta. The Cioppino was a bit pricey; however, was loaded with seafood and included some king crab which we had not seen at other places we have had the dish. The Seafood Pasta was rich and also loaded with seafood. Would certainly recommend if searching for seafood. Note: when we came at 6pm on a Monday we were told there was a 20min wait. We walked around the boardwalk and returned in 15 and the table was ready in less than 5min.

It was 6:30 pm on a weeknight and the place was only half full. It still took a waitress over 10 minutes to come by, where she asked if we were ready to order dinner. No water, no drinks or apps offered. We ordered a Moscato and a beer sampler along with ceviche. The ceviche was very good with a slight bite to it. The Moscato was flat and obviously opened long ago. The beers were fine. I also ordered a cup of clam chowder that was excellent. Best part of the meal. Our entrees of fried oysters and halibut fish and chips came quickly. The GF felt the oysters were too heavily battered for her taste, the fish and chips were quite good. Waitress came back to check on us when we were almost finished eating. Had to go track her down to get our check. Another restaurant that survives on tourist volume and not quality of product or service. Wouldn't go back - though the chowder was tasty.

We were looking for our last meal of fish & chips before heading back inland and Bouy's Best seemed…read moreto be the best option. When we first walked in, we were a bit confused since it seemed like it wasn't actually a restaurant and was instead a fish market - it turns out we went into the wrong door. Bouy's Best Restaurant is the building that says restaurant outside, not the market next door that only sells fresh, frozen, and smoked fish. We elected to get the Captain's Platter to share as it seemed to include most of the fried items that they serve. It's great for sampling! Captain's Platter ($34) - The Captain's Platter is served on two trays - one with the fries, and one with the seafood. The fries are pretty standard commercial battered fries. Crisp on the outside, tender on the inside. Not really much else to say. The seafood plate consists of one piece each of lingcod, salmon, and halibut, two oysters, one razor clam, and two prawns. I love the batter they use here - it's light, lacy and crisp. Not quite as light as tempura, but it stands up against the fish well, and it adheres enough so that a hearty bit won't leave naked pieces of protein or hollow husks of batter. While there's a bit of oil soaked into the plate, the batter is not oily at all. Starting with the fish - I understand now why salmon isn't used for fish and chips much since it gets dried out a bit. Still good, but not as good as salmon could be grilled or baked. The taste is quite different and a bit stronger to the typical generic farmed salmon. I'm not sure what the difference between halibut and lingcod is since I don't have too much experience with the various types of fish. One of them, which I think is halibut, tastes a little bitter and has some strange fatty and tendinous parts. I didn't enjoy eating it due to the texture and taste. The other piece, which I think is the lingcod, is also a little acrid, kind of bitterish with a very distinct taste. I think this is why fish & chips is traditionally cod - it's much lighter in taste. But if you're looking for something a little more flavorful, lingcod and halibut might be the way to go. I don't really like oysters and the fried oysters included in the captain's platter did not change my mind. They are mushy, very briny flavored. The prawns are pretty solid, good and sweet. The tail part of the shrimp is so crisp you can easily eat it without any issues. Finally, the razor clam is very good. Nice, large, and chewy. My favorite was the clam, followed by the salmon, prawn, cod, halibut, and oyster. (3/5) On the side, they server a cup of tarter sauce, cocktail sauce, and slaw. The tarter sauce is very creamy. They are heavier with the mayo than most tarter sauces. It's tangy and quite rich, but I feel like they add quite a bit less pickles than other places. The cocktail sauce it just a nice refreshing and acidic sauce to break through some of the fat in the batter and seafood. The slaw is interesting. It's quite sweet and acidic, with bits of pineapple mixed in. It works well with the seafood. There's a wedge of lemon included as well to add more acidity to preference. Clam Chowder, Small ($7.99) - This is a decent clam chowder. The clam taste comes out quite well, followed by a bit of vegetalness from the mirepoix. The razor clams are cut into larger pieces than traditional clam, resulting in meatier and chewier pieces that I would normally expect. The broth is thick and rich, but I'd say not as creamy as most other clam chowders. It's more of a grey than off white in color. They are pretty generous with the ingredients, with the vegetables, tender potatoes, and the aforementioned clams. That all sounds good, but the major downside is how salty the chowder is. The amount of salt they add makes the clam chowder a little unpleasant to drink. I didn't end up finishing the chowder. (3/5) Overall the food I had at Buoy's Best was kind of meh. After I ate the fish & chips I felt a bit burnt out on this dish (even though I had only eaten it twice that week). Was it the difference in flavor vs. other fish & chips? I'm not sure, but I don't think I would revisit Buoy's Best. I'm not saying the food served here is bad - it just didn't work for me personally. I suppose if you're bored with the usual fish & chips and want something a bit different, Buoy's Best is worth a try. Bathrooms: One unisex room

This was not the environment we were looking for. We went back to the car and drove to Kelley's Place. This dive bar is in the middle of nowhere, but I'm glad we found it. Upon walking inside, we felt like we were at home. Though we love going to a high-end restaurant, we come from a small down and really enjoy the dive bars, especially when you get a friendly bartender, good drinks, and some good food. Kelley's had all of that. I went with the Cod Fish and Chips, which was breaded in Panko and fried perfectly. My wife had the Fish Sandwich, which tasted great as well. We also had the Coconut Prawns, which I'm sure were house made. These were amazing! If you're looking for a great dive bar that's not right on path, that has a friendly service, good drinks, and good food, stop by Kelley's.
