You drive a winding road that feels like you're being led to the middle of nowhere. You arrive at…read morewhat looks, like an abandoned train yard, cross the tracks, and suddenly.....there it is. The Taylor Shellfish Samish Oyster Bar. It's not a restaurant in the traditional sense; it's more of a landscape. We had dozens of fresh west coast oysters, smoked oysters, shrimp, crab, beer, and....a view that made this an unforgettable experience. If you're looking for a place that celebrates the food rather than the performance, this is it. Go for the oysters, stay for the silence, and leave knowing exactly where your food came from. Food (5/5): Everything was outstanding. I'm not even a fan of smoked oysters but these were prepared in a way that made them truly amazing. Customer Service (4.5/5): The staff were friendly and readily available. Price (Est. $60/person): It is easy to lose track of the final bill when the food is this good and you keep the orders coming, but expect to spend around $60 per person. Decor/View (4.5/5): The outdoor setting is perfect, especially on a clear nice day, providing an unmatched view of the water.

There's a…read morewinding 1 lane road to get to the location and it's perched right next to a tidal flat with an incredible view. There's no shade, I think I could see people getting sunburnt in the hour that I was there. I ordered a dozen shucker's choice oysters and received an assortment of 3 different types. It's pretty amazing the difference in taste across the different oysters. They were great! Super fresh and served with a couple wedges of lemon and mignonette. A little different than the way they're served on the opposite coast (typically lemon, cocktail sauce, horseradish, and mignonette. Several of the oysters were pretty large and took some chewing to get through. I paired them with a nice glass of gruner veltliner. Great spot, I'd definitely return.

There are 2 lines to order. One for the grill which is the menu stuff. The other for your bags of shrimp. When we were there, the shrimp line was the longest. My wife and I split up so we could try both. The Grill: we just got a bunch of stuff to share Fish Burger (4): This was pretty good. Soft bun. Tender fish. Their fries are really crispy. Solid sando. Fish n Chips (4): They fry stuff really well and their fish is fresh. Fish was flaky. Did need the tartar sauce but it was still good. Clam Chowder Bread Bowl (4): Decent. Bread bowl was good but nothing spectacular. Chowder had some good sized clams and was creamy. The Shrimp (4): We love the shrimp trucks in Hawaii and our friends sort of hyped us up with that in mind. When we got to the front, we really didn't know what to order. We got what most people seemed to be getting. Just a combo of small and medium shrimp. All the shrimp is cooked in saltwater. So you need to peel them. They were fresh and tasty. A little sweet even. It's work though. If you don't like peeling shrimp, then might not be as good as the hype. I personally didn't think the small shrimp was worth the effort cause they were TAI NEE! Maybe next time I'll just take them home to grill and eat them whole. Next time. I do wish we got the jumbo shrimp. I feel like those would be more worth it. Overall, glad we tried it out. Shrimp was good. Grill was good. I still don't know why there's so much hype around it though. Maybe we were doing it wrong. We'll return with the friends that recommended it so we could see how its supposed to be done.

Exceeded my expectations! We were visiting Anacortes from…read morePhiladelphia. We arrived at 8 pm after a day at Friday's Harbor San Juan Island. Our waitress (Amy?) was attentive. Our salmon fish & chips, our cod fish & chips as salmon cakes were perfect. We were seated at a window overlooking the Marina which we couldn't see clearly due to nightfall but appreciated being seated there. We are used to restaurants being open at least til 10 pm. We didn't notice that the restaurant officially closed at 9 as we were not rushed out. We will be sure to dine here again when back in the area.

Being treated to Chuckanut Manor is starting to be a tradition for me. This is my second time to…read morethis wonderful place. The first was my birthday last year, chosen by a friend (I'd never heard of it). This year I was asked where I wanted to go. I did not hesitate to say here! I couldn't be anything other than delighted in my decision--from the pleasantness inside, the wonderful view from our window, the delightful staff and the incredible food and drinks, this place is wonderful. Lucky me that my birthday was on a Wednesday so I could be totally influenced to have oysters-on-the-half shell due to a generous Wednesday night special. I do love raw oysters--and these were so tiny and briny and so incredibly good, I could have eaten five dozen! (I am kicking myself for not finding out what kind they were, but no matter. I would be happy with any they are serving here, I am sure.) I had already planned on having the Oysters Rockefeller (known here as Manor Rockefeller), and so, despite having just downed some oysters, I went ahead anyway and am glad I did! They were wonderful. And there was no real reason for me to pause for a moment in my decision, having already had oysters, because these were soooooo different. It was almost like eating a delicious oyster casserole in a shell. The Mediterranean Mussels were wonderful! (Notice, I was having a dinner of appetizers...) The broth they came in was beautiful (and drinkable, if one were so inclined). I loved the surprising tastiness of the Mama Lil's Peppers swimming around in it. At first I wondered if they would be too hot and compete with the flavor--overwhelming it--but no! Not at all. They were a perfect and flavorful touch. Absolutely wonderful. (And having said that, I know that "pepper heat" is an individual thing--I can tolerate a goodly amount, fyi--I just didn't taste these as hot at all.) Our server, Drew, was immensely helpful (and always charming!) He paired our food with a delicious wine. I guess we would assign my bowl of clam chowder to the dessert category--very thick and creamy--along with a lovely after-dinner cocktail, made by the wonderful and delightful bartender, Sherry. She made me a lovely mocktail to start--I asked Drew to have the bartender just make something up on a whim. It was pretty, colorful and delish with what in it, I have no idea. But, not only was it delectable, it was a vision! All festive and fuchsia, with a "bartender's cherry," and a hot pink umbrella. When I learned Sherry made it, I was so happy because I remembered her from last year--very skilled and very fun to chat with. A wonderful birthday--I highly recommend the Manor.

For the prices you would expect a 5 star cuisine. We've…read morebeen here for dinner several times and lunch a couple times. The dinner menu is far superior but still lacks options. No matter the time of day you come here I wouldn't expect very many meals to choose from but you should expect a substantial bill to follow it. Example, The fish and chips from the kids menu is exactly the same as the adult lunch menu. Kids, around $15 Adult, $35 3 fish sticks with probably 15 fries. Today's service was better than the other times we've come here. The building is pretty cool and the view is nice.

Happened to be one left that had been cooked and cleaned. In the freezer were speciality meats too. A large parking lot immediately out front. One way in! If you pass it, just go around the round a bout. For sure worth a stop and see to get some of the freshest seafood around. Run by a husband and wife team. I love supporting small businesses.
