    New York strip

    I didn't get pictures of everything but we had the mushrooms rockfish cakes and prawn appetizers all were delicious our server was excellent I had the steak it was cooked perfectly medium well my rice pilaf was terrible no flavor and mushy veggies not great either the others at the table liked their entrees overall was good kinda pricy

    Cranberry bread

    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

    Clam chowder

    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.

    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.

    Bread pudding with real custard caramel and brandy sauce light not too sweet
    Esra K.

    Everything we had was delicious, fantastic seafood pastas and grilled fish, best bread pudding ever and for the friendliest most attentive service experience, ask for DJ! (I never write reviews)

    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.

    Clam Linguini, excellent and sooo many clams!
    Susan C.

    This is a busy yummy comfy place. Excellent service, excellent Menü and my choices were truly delicious. From the Wheelhouse salad to the clam linguini. Just yum! Highly recommend this lively seaside restaurant when visiting Bandon

    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. Clam chowder o.k. (does have bacon for those concerned. Better clams at Tony's Best clam chowder and fish and chips at BANDON BAIT!

    Oyster shooters
    Amanda B.

    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.

    Bandon Bait - Full Size Fish and Chips (Rockfish) with mini slaw and mini shrimp cocktail, ketchup and Tartar Sauce!

    In my experience, the best fish and chips comes from a small, family run joint next to the ocean…read morethat operates on a shoestring budget, and has lines that stretch down the block. There are notable exceptions like Barrel Mountain Brewing and Kells Irish Pub (look them up if you are in Oregon or Washington). Bandon Bait, true to its name, also sells bait and tackle, and the first time I drove past, it sported a line that ran the length of the building. I have reviewed fish and chips at many restaurants over the years, so I have a lot to compare these with. So, here goes. First, the breading has an herbal flavor, and is delicate without being self-unwrapping. It stays on, which is good. The fish is fresh, and cooked properly. I tend to favor battered fish, as opposed to breaded, though. Still, while it is not my favorite on the Oregon Coast, it has a lot going for it. I'm comparing these fish and chips to the results of a 30 year quest to find the best ones on the Oregon Coast, so not all of them are going to knock my socks off, but that doesn't mean that they are not excellent. They give a little dish of bay shrimp cocktail with each serving. That was nice. My wife had the prawns, and she liked them while remarking that the dill pickle in the cocktail sauce was strange, but seemed to be okay. The fries were shoestring, and got cold quickly in the prevailing gales that buffeted the outdoor tables. I have long hair, and it really wanted to join the clam chowder on the spoon, but that was the appetizer, and will be addressed soon. Back to the fries. They were okay. They had a seasoned salt of unknown origin on them that was pleasant. The chowder was above average. The portion was decent, and it wasn't too thin. It tasted nice, but had an unadventurous flavor. It's the kind you want when you have been disappointed by a previous chowder, and just need something familiar. It tastes good, but not ecstatically good. All in all, it was a serviceable meal. Don't let the mild criticisms lead you to think I was disappointed, or would not recommend stopping in. Just because something is not the best, it doesn't mean that it's not delicious.

Given it was a Saturday evening there was plenty of outside seating compared to Tony's down the street and much less of a wait. Even though we were dining in, all the food came in to-go boxes with plastic utensils which I find wasteful. They didn't even have salt shakers to use in-house. We had to ask for salt for our fries and all they had was single use salt and pepper packets. A little surprising! C'mon, you can do better and it would probably also save you money to serve some of your food in some reusable baskets and provide condiments for in-house use.

It was generously loaded with tender, sweet lobster,…read moreserved on a perfectly toasted roll, and let the freshness of the seafood shine without being overcomplicated. Every bite was worth it. The crab cakes were just as impressive. They were packed with crab, nicely seasoned, and cooked to a perfect golden crisp on the outside while staying tender and flavorful inside. You could actually taste the crab instead of a bunch of filler, which is exactly how a great crab cake should be. The laid-back, waterfront vibe makes this the kind of place where you can grab incredible seafood, relax, and enjoy everything that makes Bandon special. Whether you're a local or just passing through, Tony's Crab Shack is one of those places you don't want to miss.

    Given all the hype, this place was terribly underwhelming. The world, famous crab sandwich on…read moresourdough was fair to middling at best. The New England clam chowder likely came out of a can from Cisco. And I believe our biggest regret was ordering a dozen oysters. Now, I've been eating oysters for 50 years in just about every state that harvests them. These oysters are gigantic, which in itself is not a problem. However, they smelled and taste like dead fish, with the texture of soggy bread. There was absolutely no salty brine. This could indeed be a local variety that I just don't care for. But to me, they taste like they were shucked a week ago and soaked in a bucket of fishy water and put back in the shell to serve. Additionally, they were warmer than room temp and not served on ice. I only managed to swallow two before throwing in the towel. My wife who is an oyster lover, only ate one. I'd like to think that I'm wrong, but I can tell you that I regret every penny I spent there. and will certainly not go back. -so, update on the oysters. The oysters served were Coos Bay Area oysters, which are too large to serve on the half shell. They are primarily used for frying. The fine dining restaurants in the area do not and will never serve them on the half shell.

My favorite was the beet salad, which came recommended and was very refreshing. I felt there could be more beets in the salad because there was basically four quarter pieces equal to one medium size beet for the $14. +tax + tip price, but the taste and presentation were 5-Star.

    Ate at Pacific Grill twice this weekend (12/27/25 - 12/28/25). I was very pleased with both meals!…read moreI was lucky enough to have Kat as my server both times and she was wonderful! When I asked for no feta cheese on my gyro she informed me that it was also in the tzatziki (I really appreciated the heads up) and she also clarified if this was a food allergy or preference (I appreciate her concern in the case that this was an allergy to dairy). She was also quick with bringing me ketchup and hot sauce and anything else I asked for. She really made both meals excellent :) The food was just as good as the service! My Traditional Breakfast really hit the spot! Thanks again to Kat for recommending the bacon. My gyro was a little plain, because I got mine without cheese and tzatziki. BUT the chicken was super flavorful and the veggies were fresh and crispy. I added a splash of lime juice and this was perfect for me. And I must say these are some of the BEST French fries I've ever had!! I'm not sure if they're considered double fried or beer battered (?) but it is definitely worth the $3 upgrade to get them! I only wish they would just put the dang bottle of ketchup on the table instead of bringing it to you in a small metal cup (which they did at both meals). Odd policy IMO; seems like it makes more work for the servers. But that is a very small complaint for an overall very great restaurant!
