We made reservations months in advance for both the Wheelhouse and Crow's Nest, only to be told upon arrival that it would be at least an hour before we could be served because of a large private party. While I understand that special events happen, I don't understand why customers with confirmed reservations should be expected to wait an additional hour. If the restaurant knew a large party would affect seating, they should have either limited reservations for that time or notified guests in advance so they could make other plans. We specifically reserved well ahead of time to avoid this kind of situation, so it was very disappointing. We left feeling frustrated and that our reservations simply weren't honored. I hope management reviews how reservations are handled when large events are scheduled so future guests don't have the same experience. read more

We really enjoyed ourselves here. 3rd night of our Oregon & Washington roadtrip, we barely ate all day and we were hungry! Their waitstaff was great and they had plenty of good options on the menu. We enjoyed our cocktails, appetizers, and entrees very much. The calamari was well fried and was served with a delicious green dipping sauce. The seafood linguine had plenty of seafood in it, a big deal (once had a huge pasta served with only 4 med shrimp lol), the scallops were perfect and not a single grain of sand! Amazing prep, honestly. Crab cocktail and crab Louie both served with a good portion of crab! The bread was delicious, especially the cranberry bread! I asked if they sold it! (No) - aw it would have made great toast in the morning, thinking of the previous night's dinner! We enjoyed this place a lot. Bandon is truly full of welcoming citizens read more

Another amazing recommendation from the staff at THE BANDON INN. We came in for a late dinner and and after reading reviews we didn't have any high expectations. But boy were we surprised! We were greeted immediately and sat. The vibe was a casual seaside home feel. Our server,Bethany, was such a delight! She was incredibly friendly and polite. She took our drink order and have us time to go over the specials and menu. My husband opted for the pork chop dinner and had a salad and clam chowder. They bright out some warm bread, which was delightful! (Especially the cranberry bread!) The pork chop was moist and flavorful. Great portions. And the clam chowder was thick and delicious! There's a great menu selection. And they had a big dessert menu, which we ordered and opted to take back to the hotel with us. Everything was great! Special shout-out to Bethany, as she really was as sweet as the pie we ordered! A true asset to the establishment! She really did make our time there extra bright. Definitely worth a stop in. read more

We were enjoying Old Town Bandon and chose The Wheelhouse for a quick lunch of clam chowder. It was a nice and casual place with good service. It has the ambience of having lunch at a friend's house. They, also, have a room upstairs for dinner that is pretty plain but has a view of the port so we made plans to return for dinner. Dinner was excellent from start to end. The salad was even stand out with a flavorful homemade balsamic honey vinaigrette. The shrimp skewers and scallops were cooked perfectly and delicious. The side of green beans, peppers and onion was a standout favorite. Nicole was our server and was excellent. She was alone for the first part of dinner and kept all tables serviced with a smile while being the bartender, as well. She is definitely a big part of why this was a good experience. I recommend The Wheelhouse. The food and service is fantastic. The only suggestion is that I would add a vegetarian/vegan meal to the menu for diners who do not eat meat. read more

Solid local restaurant with many menu options. Our table in the diving room had beautiful views of the ocean (despite the rain). We didn't get up to the crows nest but heard that was a great place for views. I chose grilled shrimp on a skewer for my meal and rice as my side. The meal came with bread for the table and a starter salad. I loved the honey vinaigrette dressing served with it. The shrimp was delicious. Everyone enjoyed their choices. Service was excellent. We were seated right away. Our server stopped over and indicated she'd be right with us as it was very busy. Great stop. read more

We were really looking forward to trying this place, but unfortunately, our experience was a letdown. We first asked if we could place a to-go order, and were told flat-out no, without any explanation. A bit surprising, but we figured maybe they were short-staffed or having a busy moment, so we asked instead if we could dine in, but were completely ignored. No acknowledgment, no response, just... nothing. We're not going to jump to conclusions about why we were treated that way, but the whole situation left us feeling really awkward and disregarded. It's a shame, because we were genuinely excited to try the food. Giving 2 stars because we can't speak to the quality of the food--but based on service alone, it was a disappointing and uncomfortable experience. read more

We had reservations for the Crows nest. Great spot for dinner with friends. We shared a bottle of wine. The breadbasket had a wonderful and warm cranberry bread. I ordered clam chowder, a little salty but delicious. And the Wheelhouse salad: greens with bay shrimp and honey dressing. Yumm!! My friends enjoyed theirs: rockfish, coconut rockfish and a charbroiled salmon. Lots of food and they were not able to eat it all. Service was excellent!! I could have done without the two giant tv screens but so it is in bar/lounge/restaurant. Plenty of street parking and Bandon is a cute little coastal town read more

At least the mashed potatoes were decent ... The service was awful - really, I cannot believe it. Our waiter took away my salad with food still on the plate ...I literally had my fork in my hand and food in my mouth when he snatched my plate. Rest of the meal, he was abrupt and awkward (dropping the check without a word... same with the change after paying). He would be better off working as a bagger at Safeway. And the food was gross. The cream sauce on the crab tasted like it was only milk and cornstarch, vegetables were boiled to death ...and the vinaigrette was the consistency of gel toothpaste. If this were Red Robin, I'd be disappointed ...but for a restaurant with $36 entrees, it was appalling. I hate to give a negative review, but I feel obliged to warn other Yelpers. read more

5Service! 4 View 3 Food sorry but the steamer clams were over cooked and the broth tasted weird. The grilled bread served with the clams was from last week. Yuck House made blue cheese dressing 5.

The service is outstanding. We wanted oyster shooters but did not see them on the menu. Our server was more than happy to make us some. Our waters were never empty and someone is constantly walking around busing dishes so your table stays clean. They serve a citrus water. The rockfish po boy was my favorite meal I had in Bandon. My daughter who doesn't like fish actually asked me if she could have some of my sandwich because she loved it! The bread was fresh and the fish was flavorful and not greasy! It was crispy on the outside but flaky on the inside. The clam chowder was nice on a rainy day but I found it to need a little more in the flavor department. It has a nice ambiance on a cold rainy day. You can look at the water and watch the boats. It is rather cold inside. Bring a jacket so you can enjoy your meal without shivering. read more

They will sit you in a random place and act like you're waiting for a table. Sit there with a waitress acting like she'll take care of the situation but really she does nothing. Paid $100 for drinks as I waited for a table. I guess if you're not one of the regular high class rollers, you ain't nothing. Sit there and wait for your $ stake read more

Accidentally stumbled in for lunch and I'm happy we did. Originally from Louisiana so I couldn't help but notice the note on the menu stating the chef is from Louisiana as well. I was excited to maybe have found a little flame from home all random on the Oregon coast. While it's not advertised as Cajun I found on the menu The Wheelhouse Cajun Seafood Grill it consisted of prawns, sea Scallops and Andouille Sausage with a kick of Louisiana flavors. It was delicious! Everything was cooked very well. The service was friendly and attentive. The overall vibe of the restaurant is quaint and cozy. read more

3.5 stars... Nice sunny room with friendly staff. Ice water, side salad and (complimentary and warm!) cranberry and sourdough bread came out quickly. Butter was soft and ready to spread. Recommend the chef offers a home made vinaigrette, it isn't expensive and would elevate the salad. Also, the mix of greens was good and fresh, but watch the large chunks of iceberg lettuce . The crepes were good, there was a lot of liquid in the dish, but it was absorbed by the crepes as it cooled. Also, nice lumps of crab meat and very cheesy. It seemed unnecessary to have a side starch with the crepes, but it works. The sautéed veggies were crisp and flavorful. The jambalaya rice was dry, but good flavor. Everything was at the correct temperature. Speaking with the hotel concierge afterwards, she said that the restaurant is consistent in its food and very popular. A pleasant experience after a long drive. read more

I travel from ca to oregon every year I always stay in bandon and eat at the wheelhouse a couple of times.Always great food and service.cranberry bread,most seafood and desserts are awesome I was there on Aug 5th 2025 and ordered their scallops.what a hugh disappointment. They were the size of a quarter if that..had a strong seafood order when placed in front of me and the worst scallops I have ever tasted the plate came with 6 and I only ate 4 after dipping them in some sort of marmalade dipping sauce to get by Please wheelhouse..take them off your menu.they suck. The next night I had the halibut and is was soo good.FRESH and flakey and so good. My server DJ For both nights was a excellent waiter.very attentive,friendly yet professional. I will be back next year because I really like your restaurant but hope you don't still have the scallops on the menu . read more

We had a totally great experience here today. Food was tasty, well cooked, portions good. Had fish and chips and Bacon Cheeseburger. As the restaurant was busy, the food took a little while longer to arrive. Well worth the wait. The waitress was very cordial, fun and helpful. The young man who brought our water was awesome! He was very diligent about ensuring our waters (and others) were always full. A pleasant change from other places that never offer refills. Thank you. read more

I went an hour before closing alone. My service was so friendly and so fast! I was so pleased. My food was delicious and be aware portions are big! I had pasta for two days after that haha. Scallops were cooked to perfection and the cream sauce they tossed the linguine and scallops in would make you want to take a bath in it. Highly recommend when you're swinging through Bandon. It's also one of the very few places with somewhat normal hours that stays open until 9. Most other places are closed or you get bar food :-/ read more

The food is consistent " every plate " absolutely wonderful. From the little side dish to the main course, you can count on wonderful top-notch food. The service is wonderful. They are so polite and feel free to ask if you can have a little extra this or a little extra that they are more than willing. I love to sit in the back and take it all in. You can still see out the windows to our wonderful boardwalk and boat basin. If you sit in the back, you can also take in the restaurant itself. It's a very well, lit Restaurant easy convenience where you can be seated in chairs or booth whichever you prefer.

My Wife had a Shrimp Louie, While I had a Charbroiled Salmon with mushy veggies (Yuck), ( I it was just steamed) and Rice and it normally came with Dill Butter, ( I changed the butter for Mango Salsa) which gave it a Fresh taste. The Service was Great from the Waitress, her Helper and was really Helpful. The Restaurant had Two levels. The bottom of the restaurant had lots of windows, however seemed a little Dark. Where the 2nd floor of the restaurant was Bright and cheerful and it felt more open with the bright interior. Parking seemed limited. We'd Definitely come back. read more

We don't get halibut very often at home, so I was thrilled to be able to order the citrus grilled halibut. it didn't taste like citrus at all, but rather was very heavily salted, too much so. The mashed potatoes were yummy as was the medley of fresh crunchy veggies that came with it. We started with clam chowder which had an odd, almost gummy texture. The taste of the ocean was missing- I'd give it 2/5. We had attentive service and were seated at a window table with a view of Bandon harbor. read more

Excellent dinner in Bandon. We had a fabulous dinner at The Wheelhouse with a beautiful view of the wharf. Yummy breads to start. One was soft warm cranberry white bread and of course, sourdough. Lovely salad with a honey vinaigrette (I bought a bottle to take home because I liked it so well) I had coconut crusted rock fish and my husband had citrus herb halibut. The coconut gave the rockfish a slight sweet flavor that was awesome with the fresh mango salsa. Enjoyed dessert as a treat for our Anniversary- I had panna cotta with fresh raspberry sauce (they called it a raspberry cream) and he had a huge bread pudding with a rich bourbon sauce.

This was the best meal we had on the southern Oregon coast. We shared the salmon and a slice of peanut butter pie. The salmon was cooked perfectly and the sauce paired with it was great. The vegetables were simple but well made. And the peanut butter pie!! Oh my. So good. Don't skip dessert. They also have a fun assortment of local wines. I was surprised they had a low-ish rating. Maybe we caught them on a good night- but I would come back to bandon just to eat here. read more
