Server/cashier was friendly and helpful. Cute little bait shop indoors and picnic tables outdoors. The clam strips were excellent would have liked more. We enjoyed the fish tacos, although would have liked a little more fish. Appreciated the server warning us about the spicy sauce so we could forgo. The fish and chips were good and love the mini shrimp cocktail and mini coleslaw that came with the meals. The clam chowder was tasty. read more

This place is a must try!! Today I had a calamari sandwich with fries. It was cooked to perfection and so so delicious. My family orders the 5pc fish and chips. They are never disappointed! read more

After spending over a week looking for great fish and chips in London, we were enormously pleased to come across Bandon Bait back in our own home state and country. This is more of a 'takeaway' or sit at their outdoor tables location. There is no indoor seating, so if the weather is foul, bear that in mind. The food, however, is absolutely top-notch. We ordered both the large fish and chips as well as the shrimp and chips options. Both orders same with not only amazing sauces, but also delicious cole slaw and a cup of bay shrimp. Don't miss out on those, as they are both excellent additional that come with the meal. The batter on these fried goodies are just perfect. Nice crisp layer with excellent light texture. Don't bother with a small order...go for the large, as you'll otherwise be craving more. Now look, one of the bigger challenges with fish and chips is delivering on the chips part of the equation. How often do you order this standard and the fries are just sorta meh? Not here! The fries are excellent as well, and they stayed remarkably crispy even after they cooled off...that's something noteworthy! Service was straightforward and efficient. Pricing was great for what you get. read more

Bandon Bait - Fish & Chips Near Me - Bandon, Oregon

Heard they had gluten free fish and chips. Kind of a mislead as they just grill the fish. Which is kind of a bummer. Always looking for food I can eat. Locals said it was best food in town tho compared to others. But bummed I called and they said they could do it. And it made me to think it was breaded gluten free and it's not. read more

Best fish and chips and chowder we had on our trip to Bandon, Gold Beach and Brookings. Service is great. Staff was friendly and helpful and remembered us when we returned for round two! Breading is light and not greasy. They have fresh lemons which I love with my seafood. Chowder is creamy and perfect flavor. Try this unsuspecting place for your next favorite lunch or dinner. It is a walk up counter to order the food. You can take to go or they have several picnic tables outside that are protected from the wind. Close to the waterfront. Food came out quickly too. read more

Bandon Bait - Rock fish taco - Fish & Chips Near Me - Bandon, Oregon

All ashore going ashore! If you're looking for tasty fish & chips, Bandon Bait is a must! Let's start with the man with piercing blue eyes who will take your order. He's super nice, and is happy to recommend items from their menu. The menu has a variety of items from shrimp, to frog legs. All can be fried/come fried. We both ordered the fish n chips. The fish is freshly caught, and is flaky, tasty, and just yum. The fish definitely could've used some seasoning, or a little bit more seasoning. The crust is more of a cornmeal, and I'm still that deep fried kind of girl. It was still very tasty. To the point that while I asked for extra tartar sauce, it really did not need it. I did ask for some malt vinegar which is not the norm for this location, and I was given packets of Heinz mulch vinegar. Not a great product to begin with, and I definitely did not help with the fish experience Once you order at the counter, you go grab your own seat, wherever you can find one, and they will find you and bring you your food. The foods reasonably priced, generous servings, and you'll see why they are always busy. Always. Now you may be asking yourself about the bait part of this location... Since they're literally right by the water, people do come in and purchase bait and other things and go fishing themselves. It just works. Parking is free, but definitely you need to be patient when looking for it. The parking lot serves numerous businesses in the area, once you're parked, you're gonna want to walk through the cute little village, visit the stores, etc. Great food, great service, and a great experience! read more

Casual dining on the waterfront. Food came faster than expected. Tasted very good but just a bit underwhelming. Would give it 4.5 stars if I could. read more

Bandon Bait - We ordered the cod and halibut fish & chips. - Fish & Chips Near Me - Bandon, Oregon

Really good shrimp and chips. Frys where hot and crisp. Excellent cocktail sauce for dipping the shrimp in. Came with creamy coleslaw and a small shrimp cocktail. Quick service and cool little place on the waterfront. There are a few tables out front for eating on or go over to the little amphitheater on boardwalk. They have beer too. I will stop by next time I'm in town. Yummy. read more

Service was great. We got two orders of fish and chips, and while the flavor was okay, the pieces were tiny and don't justify the price. Not worth it imo. read more

Everything, food was pretty good I had the chicken sandwich and my wife had the fish and chips. Great outdoor seating under the roof top. Give it a try. Like most chicken sandwiches it was a little dry, but the chicken was good. read more

I am always so impressed by the food at Bandon Bait! I do also go there to get my crabbing license and bait but the food is where it's at. It's so convenient to have both at one location right by the dock. On this visit, I ordered the fish and chips which were amazing! The local black rock cod tasted like it was caught that morning. It was fried in the lightest batter that had the best spices. I dipped it in their house Tartar sauce and it was *chef's kiss*. They even include a little container of yummy bay shrimp. They have outdoor picnic tables where you can eat in the sun and gaze at the water. A great stop for a quick lunch! We visited a few times while crabbing in Bandon and what I really appreciated is that they took my partner's shellfish allergy very seriously. Usually it's difficult to find a place that is safe for him to eat at in a shellfish town but they fried all of his food in a separate fryer and made sure nothing came in contact with his food every time. read more

All their food is wonderful because it's all handmade. The fish tacos are my favorite. They have a full on bait shop and you can get your fishing license there. Places to sit out of the wind and in the sun. The boardwalk restrooms are very close and you're always greeted with a friendly face that wants to help you out anyway they can. They also had a refrigerated display case full of delicious smoked in house yummy's read more

What a treasure. I went to Bandon, OR for a family gathering. They brought us here for fish and chips. Serious kudos to the 1 women running the entire operation. Taking food orders, cooking, and the cashier for the actual bait shop. She was polite, helpful, and surprisingly quick considering she was doing it all alone. I decided on the local rockfish and chips. It came with at least 3 nice sized pieces that were perfectly cooked and flavorful, a side of bay shrimps with their stellar cocktail sauce, and tarter sauce that was clearly homemade. The food was delicious and eating on their patio in this cute little town was wonderful! You really can't beat, fresh and local with a smile. If I am ever in the area again I will for sure return! read more

We ended up here since Tony's Crab Shack was way too packed. I will say it was ok. We ordered clam chowders and the calamari which came with fries, a little container of shrimp cocktail and coleslaw. The clam chowder was not super great, tasted like it came from a decent can of soup. The calamari strips were soggy which was a disappointment. The shrimp cocktail was just ok, not very flavorful. The coleslaw was actually pretty good which was surprising considering I don't care for coleslaw usually. Fries were also pretty good. read more

Great little fish and chips place. Really good fish and amazing chips. The only reason for 4 stars vs 5 is that last year we went to a place in coos bay that was hand down the best fish and chips I've ever had and this was choose but not quite as good. Would definitely come back read more

I love the location of this place right on the boardwalk. The server was awesome and catered to our massive order. The fish and chips were good but did not blow me away. The fries were alright and so was the clam chowder. There was not a ton of clams. To be honest I have had better. There are three similar fish markets right next to each other here, next time I will probably try another. read more

The fish and chips are, well, perhaps the best you will run across and the service friendly. I have been coming here for many years and it has always been consistent, even when Diane the owner is gone. When in the area, worth the stop.
