Great fish and chips! Waitress was sweeter than molasses. Loved it. Highly recommended. read more

Great food. Cool little restaurant. The service was great too, despite being short staffed.

My mom and I had lunch here and I gotta say the Rock Cod fish and chips and garlic fries were fantastic. The fish was juicy and fresh and the breading was light and crispy. I ordered some wasabi fish tacos to go which I will devour later. The server was very fast and attentive. The establishment has a unsavory odor, needs a deep clean and is dark musty. If they spruced they joint up I would give it 5 stars. read more

Wow. It was one of those places I wished I could eat again right when I when I was done. It was gourmet fish and chips and not lame stuff from tourist traps. I can't wait sit to drive us the 101 again. read more

Nice atmosphere and good service. Reasonable price. Garlic fries, 3.5 * Wasabi fish taco, 4 * Brazilian seafood taco, 5 * Soup of the day, cream of broccoli, 4 * If you like shellfish, get the Brazilian taco, off the chart. One suggestion, add some cilantro to this dish. We will be back, especially to try the fish 'n chips. read more

As we traveled the coast it was time for lunch. We looked up what was around town and decided to try this spot. We started off with clam chowder! Wow. That was the best clam chowder we've ever had. It had the perfect amount of spices. Fresh delicious clam in every bite. I would come back just for this chowder. Then we ordered The honey mustard bacon jalapeño white cheddar burger and garlic asiago fries. Everything was very good. We got lucky because they're going to be closing till mid February after tomorrow. read more

Best fried fish in Gold Beach, maybe the coast of Oregon. They serve large fish portions lightly beer battered then fried in rice oil, and it's served with their house ginger sesame slaw. The wasabi fish tacos are my favorite on the menu. read more

Little coastal roadside joint in Gold Beach that has a very casual atmosphere. It seemed a bit grimy, and there were more than a few flies, but that isn't uncommon in some of these coastal restaurants, and we aren't super fussy. It wasn't terribly busy when we arrived, but it did take a bit to be seated. Doesn't seem like anyone working here has a sense of urgency at all. Fortunately, we were not in a rush. We had the Curry Cider Mussels, Wasabi Fish Tacos and the Off Da' Hook Fish Sandwich. Everyone liked their meals. The Wasabi Fish Tacos packed a wallop of in-your-face wasabi (possibly too much, even for someone who loves wasabi). All in all, good dinner, good service and decent prices. read more

Excellent fish and chips, clam chowder was well made and seemed fresh We will go back A stand out, is the service, very friendly and professional. Very refreshing read more

Russ, Russ, and Russ! What a great guy! Made us feel welcome and served us the best fish and chips ever. It's my husband's and my first vacation in 38 years (not that he knew) and he made our little lunch spot a thing to remember! read more

We came here based on the reviews and what a huge disappointment. We ordered the fish and chips: the fish was downright greasy and the fries were almost black and over-salted (We like salt, so that wasn't the issue. Clearly, they had been salted twice.) We also ordered the fish sandwich-the fish was fine but I couldn't eat the bun because it was so dry. And the close slaw had no dressing. Giving it two stars because the hostess/waitress was pleasant. read more

The food, service & ambience is top notch! Always pleasant menu surprises and we're never disappointed. Our go to place in Gold Beach. Try it, you'll love it! read more

Friendly service. Fish n chips our choice. Fish lightly battered just right and not overcooked. Clam chowder good but tasted more like a potato soup and not strong in clam flavor. The place is small. Easy to drive past it as it is off main road. read more

Few things to keep in mind. Small town on the coast. Not many options. Having said that, it is on the coast and I'd built this up in my mind to be fresh. Bowl of clam chowder - taste was good for chowder. Now the clam part was a struggle. The clams can't be fresh nor local. The chowder had little clam in it and little to no flavor. The Lunker - fish and chips. This maybe my fault but I took this to go and I was staying 5 minutes away, so I thought I'd be safe. The fish was packed on the chips. The chips were garlic fries and had a little cheese on them. The batter from the fish came off when lifting out of the box....be warned, not the best to go choice. That being said, the flavor was not jumping out at you. It was just your basic fried fish. I really had higher hopes for this spot. Maybe another time I can sit and eat there. read more

Cute little hole in the wall place right on the ocean. I ordered the crabcake polenta cakes. They were extremely thin, no flavor at all. I'm very disappointing as I love crabcakes! They were only $15.99 so I guess I can't complain. The service was very friendly and a very cheers like atmosphere. Maybe if I return I'll try something else! read more

Great service. Small intimate space with outdoor option for seating. The food was really good - chowder top notch. 5 star food.

Went in on a Monday, staff seemed slightly irritated due to how busy things were and greeting process was not very professional. Overall there was about a 20 min wait. Food tasted pretty good. Only down side is within an hour after dinner a full bowel clean out that lasted all night long. I at a small salad and the shrimp and scallop tacos. read more

How disappointing!!! Ordered 5 clam chowders to go and got home to find 5 orders of fries. Called in the error and offered to provide 5 soups at no additional charge which I thought okay since I had already paid for them! Sent my son all the way back to pick up the soup and they tried to charge him for it again. My son put them on the phone and the gentleman said well I have to charge you for it. I explained I already paid for it. Nope! No soup for us! I will be report this to my credit card and get my money back. I will be eating at the Port Hole from now on! read more

Seriously good batter here! If your a fried fish fan this is a great stop while your on your coastal drive. Tangy Asian coleslaw and your choice of garlic or regular fries. A lot of other items on the menu I'd like to try as well! read more

Barnacle Bistro - Perfectly battered fish! - American Near Me - Gold Beach, Oregon

Right of the 101. A quirky local run spot with a fun menu and draft beers. Crab cakes are made with bay shrimp and crab (says it on menu) and they taste a bit like shrimp. At $13 not a bargain. The soup the day I was there was gumbo which was pretty good. I ordered it with a salad which was fresh. Coming out of COVID-19 is tough. They got crushed during lunch and closed for a spell to restock. It worked out fine for me since I had a late lunch. Parking is behind the building. Bathroom is super clean. read more

It's a small mostly-seafood restaurant in Gold Beach, quite cozy. I had the prawns and chips special. I'm not a big seafood fan but these were done very well; the breading on the prawns was just crunchy enough and very flavorful. The fries were quite good. Service was good considering how small the place is; the gentleman server was polite and enthusiastic. I'll take my wife (who does like seafood) there if we're ever in the vicinity again. read more

Barnacle Bistro offers online ordering with drive thru pick up. I got the Brazilian shrimp & scallop tacos. Huge portion and very fresh and delicious. I also got the Shrimp Crab and artichoke dip. It exceeded my expectations. Lots of nummy grilled focaccia bread. Again a huge portion. I can definitely recommend their food. I got take out since I was staying at an ocean front condo. read more

We found this place in march and had to come back because we all loved it!! The fisherman's melt is a fav- bread is amazing too! The fish tacos were huge and my teenager couldn't get enough! The chowder is one of the best. They are also just super nice and the small local feel is perfect! This will continue to be a favorite stop when we visit papa! read more

We love to get to the coast to recharge. We picked Gold Beach this time and ! First thing we do after checking into the hotel is yelp best fish and chips in town. Barnacle was right up top for good reason. The fish was perfect; super light batter, not greasy at all! The fish was firm and fresh, and they must make their own tarter sauce, it's fabulous and not sweet!! The garlic fries protected us from vampires all night! Delish! Lastly, coke slaw... I've never reviewed anyone's because it's just blah, but then I tasted Barnacles with sesame oil and white vinegar and wowza, it was a perfect accompaniment to the fish and chips. Great experience, super friendly people with good food well prepared. We'll be back! No pictures because we ate too fast! read more

This place has the best fish 'n chips on the Oregon Coast. The fish is very lightly battered and doesn't smell or taste fishy like some other places. The fish was fresh-caught lingcod. I selected the garlic parmesan fries which were very garlicky and good. This is a small local family-owned restaurant and they take pride in their customer service and food quality. That said, they are having difficulty finding help like every other restaurant during the pandemic. If you are in a big hurry this is not your place. The server is doing the best they can under the circumstances. I will visit this restaurant next time I'm in Gold Beach for sure! read more

Don't judge a book by its cover!!!!! It's small, but the food has big flavor! Things you have never heard said at Barnacle Bistro; there is no garlic on these fries. (They are the best I've ever eaten); Only two fish tacos??? ( they are massive! Order and you won't be disappointed!); I don't need a doggie bag. ( food portions are huge) If you're in Gold Beach, don't pass this place, Barnacle Bistro, it's awesome! read more

This is such a cute little family run business and the food is delicious! The place is small, but cozy and clean so many homemade delicious seafood goodies. I had the albacore melt sandwich on sourdough bread that was delicious. I don't remember what my son and granddaughter ordered, but I do remember that they really liked it, it was fun and I highly recommend. We will be back. read more

Look at these tacos!!! Brazilian seafood tacos! There's two in there and they're massive! Just loaded with shrimp and scallops swimming in a flavor bomb of coconut, lime and some peanut sauce. My husband had the Wasabi Fish Tacos. The pieces of fish were huge and the wasabi cream sauce was super flavorful with that yummy kick from the wasabi. Only complaint, the cocktails weren't all that great. Maybe too much mixer. read more

We had lunch here, and everything was wonderful. We were immediately and warmly greeted, and offered a table on the patio. Service was excellent, as was the food. We ordered the chicken bruschetta sandwich, fish and chips, a burger, sweet potato fries, garlic fries,and steak tacos. My son and his fianceé are both neurodivergent, and the server was very nice and patient about answering their many questions about the food. We would absolutely eat here again, and recommend it to others. The ambience was cheery and friendly. The inside and porch areas were cozy without feeling crowded. read more

I don't know Yelpers, we chose this restaurant when we were in town because of the 4 stars. The menu looks great but so far...flies are everywhere, water dripping up top in the back onto our table and service is slow. Im hoping the food wont disappoint. The food looked good but it was a C-. The food was bland. We ordered fish and chips for the kids, steamed clams and rockfish (too dry and hard) with chimichurri and cheese, side of clam chowder (clumpy and luke warm). With two beers the grand total was $48. I appreciate that they are open during Covid & all but... Eh go somewhere else. read more
