    Chicken Tenders that were actually three huge breasts, and enough fries for two people
    Steven B.

    Service was great. Food was good. The portions were crazy big. The place was clean and orderly. The chicken tenders had three large breasts. It could easily feed two. I'd recommend them.

    Shrimp Po Boy

    Fresh fish, nicely battered, cooked perfectly. An order at the counter and they bring the food to you type of restaurant. Funky little place on the highway. Super casual. We had the halibut fish and chips and the shrimp po boy, both were excellent. Great spicy red sauce on the side for the po boy. And the have ice cream! Service was subtle, all good. Definitely worth a stop if you're traveling on the coast.

    First off, their staff is incredibly friendly and kind! You felt welcomed as soon as you came in, with friendly small talk and a smile. We honestly walked in looking for ice cream, when the smells hit us we decided to sit down for lunch. They only had a couple booths, but they were clean and there was not a lot of people inside. As a person who doesn't like fish, I was so so happy that there was no fishy smells despite having it on their menu. We sat down, filled our drink cups at the self serve fountain, and used their incredibly clean restroom. We quickly got our food and we're in awe of the size of the chicken tenders! We honestly could have shared a meal. They were hot and fresh, with just the right amount of breading and great fries. They also had a sauce they gave us, I don't remember what they called it but if you're from Utah, it was definitely fry sauce! Win-win for me.

    Any time I'm in depot bay I try and stop here. Solid fish and chips and the potato tornado makes my bussy wet. Yum!

    Great service! The fish and chips were the best I've had on the coast! & The restaurant also sells ice cream, which is also a plus!

    Best Chowder on the coast!! So many clam chowders on the coast honestly taste the same -bland. Everything from the chowder to the dipping sauces were seasoned perfectly! Food was priced very well. Clean bathroom and very chill atmosphere. Service was also great! 10/10 recommend!!

    After I got done with a whale watching tour, I was walking around looking for a place to get food and came across The Sticks. It looked super welcoming with an open door, nice decor and a friendly dude up front. We went with the shrimp po boy and the fish and chips. I wasn't expecting the portions to be that big but can't complain. The po boy was everything I hoped for and brought me back to my time in NOLA. Full of flavor and a nice crunch; the sauce in the side was absolutely amazing and had a great amount of heat. Fries crispy, warm and soft. The fish was breaded absolutely perfect and oh so flaky. Just writing this post makes me want to go back and order something else.

    A cup of Chowder vs a Bowl of Chowder!
    George H.

    While eating at The Sticks Restaurant, we did not have a good experience there. It started when we were asked to leave a gratuity when we ordered. I did not particularly appreciate going a compensation when we hadn't even been seated or given a "Glass" of water. Moments later, we were told by the cashier that if we wanted water, we could get it from the soda machine in the cardboard cups next to it. So, we served ourselves. We both ordered Chowder, one cup, and one bowl. As you can see in the attached photo, they came in cardboard cups. The larger one is their bowl. I asked the waitress, are you serious? That's not more than an ounce or two more than the cup! A little later, our meals were delivered in cardboard to-go containers. I commented on them; how did they know that we might need a container to go ahead of time? I knew then that this was not my expatriation of going to a restaurant and not a take-out place. We were never asked if we would like to dine in or get take-out. Eating in, I fully expected to have standard plates, silverware, etc. Unfortunately, the fish-n-chips were overcooked in well-used oil. As you can see in the photos, the Fish and the Frys were dark, not light, and fluffy, as expected. We attempted to eat the food, but both of us could not finish it as the flavor was not good either. The owner came out to see how everything was when she saw that we had stopped eating. She was also the cook, as it turned out. I, with respect, told her that we were not pleased with the food, the take-out containers and forks/knives, glasses of water, and the greatly under-sized bowl of Chowder. She was sorry to hear all this and offered me an ice cream cone to please me. She did later offer not to charge me for the meals, but I told her thanks, but I came in here intending to pay for my dinner, and I will. We explained that we had expected to be served with regular restaurant plating and silverware. At the Cash-register, we should have been informed that this would be served as a Take-Out! When we arrived in Depot Bay, we parked; we walked down the street to The Spick Restaurant, passing several other restaurants; a couple had signs that their food was Take-Out. I am leaving a slightly higher review than I should have because she did attempt to please me and make it right. As a fell business owner, I would like to see her maybe reevaluate how she is doing business without adequately informing their customers up front that there will be no service and it will be served as Take-Out. With a garbage can next to our table, we also bused our dirty containers as we left.

    Way too greasy. Very generous portions. Delicious house-made sauces. One entree is enough for two adults.

    It was too greasy and overpriced for what we got. The person working did not seem to like his job very well. Tables were not well cleaned.

I'd estimate about 75% full. The guy seating people seemed frazzled. I asked for a window seat and was told nothing was available, even though I could see two or three open seats by the windows. To be fair, I don't know whether those were being held for reservations. He directed me to sit at one of the bars, so I chose upstairs for the water view. The bartender handed me a menu, then I didn't see him again for 10-15 minutes. From what I could see, the bar wasn't especially busy. I figured I'd try downstairs. Same result. This time, the bartender seemed more interested in chatting with the cooks and other people than taking my order. After another 10 minutes, I was done. Two bars, roughly 20-25 minutes, and I still hadn't managed to order food. I ended up a couple of doors down at Burger 101, a little hole-in-the-wall burger joint. The guy there was super friendly, the burger and fries were delicious, and it cost about half as much. I took my food to go and sat by the beach. Pretty great view there, too. I understand that restaurants get busy. I don't expect someone to drop everything the second I sit down, but a menu followed by a long stretch of being ignored isn't much of a welcome. The Horn's view was what drew me in. The service was what sent me elsewhere. I decided to give my money to a place that seemed happy to have my business. Plus based on reviews the food is way too expensive for the quality you get. I think most people go there for the view. However, if you're not lucky enough to get a window view, you might well go somewhere else.

I've…read moredriven past it countless times, and the parking lot always seems to be full- now I understand why. We stopped in around 11:30 a.m. on a Friday and were seated right away. The split-level dining room offers tables a few steps down as well as seating above, and the large windows provide beautiful views of the bay. Watching the ocean never gets old. Our server greeted us promptly and took our order. We chose the sea scallops with bacon-asparagus risotto and the black cod green curry. The scallops were perfectly cooked, and the beurre blanc paired beautifully with the savory risotto. The black cod was plated skin-side up, keeping the skin crisp instead of letting it soften in the curry. The curry-to-rice ratio was just right, and the generous portion of fish lasted through every bite of curry and rice. I also appreciated the board showing where the seafood was sourced. Lingcod, black cod, tuna, crab, and halibut came from fishermen out of Newport, while the salmon came from fishermen in Coos Bay and Garibaldi. That commitment to local seafood made the meal even more memorable. We hoped to order dessert, but we were completely stuffed. We watched servers deliver key lime pie and tiramisu to nearby tables, and both looked incredible. At the table next to us, two people ordered lunch while the third ordered only dessert. That may be my strategy next time. The service was excellent, and the view simply can't be beat. By the time we finished lunch, a line had formed in the lobby, so arrive early or make a reservation. We enjoyed the experience from beginning to end. Tidal Raves is a must when visiting the Oregon Coast-and its Depoe Bay location offers the bonus of watching for whales while you're there.
