Fun stuff ! Went here while staying at westport marine cottages. The chowder had me feeling like a jolly man with a barreling laugh. The server was nice enough and answered all my questions thoroughly. Fish taco was a bit too fluff and not enough fish, but still tasty ! read more

Shack is the key word here seating inside is limited but the have outside seating as well. We got there just before the dinner rush and the line was out the door. They do a great take out option as well. Food was fresh and the quality of the food was very apparent. Portion size was great, especially with the combo options. To be honest I did think the prices were a little high since literally the fishing boats that probably brought in the catch were literally across the street I would very much recommend read more

We ordered to go. Cod and clams. With iced tea. The order was fast and we were looking forward to a good meal. In the past the tartar sauce has been delicious. This time the fish was super greasy and had clumps of uncooked dough. The tartar was some prefab Sysco junk. The catsup tasted like straight tomato paste. It definitely wasn't worth the price. read more

The battered cod was delicious! The fish itself was salted and seasoned underneath the batter - which I appreciated. The clam chowder was very thick but blah. My companions had the crab melt sandwiches, which were huge (they should have shared because both of them left the other half of the sandwich on their plate when we left). The sandwiches were stuffed full of deliciousness! We each had a glass of Chardonnay which was surprisingly good. I only complaint was that there was no complimentary water. read more

Bennetts is a requirement when we visit Westport. Their fish and chips are excellent and the ambiance is great. I will for sure be back next time I'm on the coast! read more

Good seafood fast. Walk up and order place, to go or dine in. Great view right on the main drag. Ordered the chowder, the crab melt, and the cheese curds. I would say the cheese curds were the surprising hit. They were light and crispy, not heavy like a mozzarella stick. The crab melt was packed with fresh crab, and the chider was hearty. A good option in town, with expanded hours for a beach town. read more

Really good clam stripes. Very large portion, next time we'll order and share. We weren't impressed with the chowder... I'd pass on that next time. It was a fine day so opted for outdoor seating, great for people watching and chilling read more

If you're looking for the best prime rib sandwich in Westport. This is the spot. My wife typically gets the fried cod with fries. Both are amazing. Specifically the prime rib sandwich is out of this world. The sandwich is packed with fresh prime rib and the presentation is always nice. We visit Westport at least once a year and we always stop at Bennett's. The service is great and the food comes out fast, even if it's super busy. 5 Stars + read more

Cute place! Very busy during meal times... if you see a table, grab it. They disappear fast. The fish is solid. The clam strips are a little heavy on the breading. Fries are not the best I've had, but the fish makes up for any shortcomings in the fish. Generous portions of fish too! We got two nice large pieces. Service is fast, and staff is friendly. read more

I love the new style ordering! Walk up and order what you want! Sit down beer delivered followed by piping hot fish n chips faster than McDonald's and soooooo much better! The Cod fish n chips is absolutely epic! Pretty sure the best I've ever had! Big thick juicy pieces perfectly battered! Fries were good. Tartar sauce was delicious! Very fresh oyster shooter! Had an Angry Octopus IPA it was served just the way I like it very very cold! Great friendly service. Lots of seating! Clean and very nice atmosphere. Prices were great too for the amount of food you got. I could only eat 1/2. The only reason for 4 stars is you have to pay for water. They serve pop in a soda machine so I question why a paying customer is not allowed to get a cup of water? Just sayin' otherwise great! read more

Wow! The food here blew my mind. The halibut sandwich was incredibly tasty and fresh. Husband had oyster shooters and the famous crab cakes. Crab cakes were so good! He loved the fresh pico de gallo and was basically eating it on its own rather than accoutrement at one point. Kiddo had the chowder in a sourdough bowl and loved it. We got here in the dark after a 4 hour drive and had a funny moment trying to find access to the entrance. The big sign that points to the front door is not in fact pointing at the red patio door! Entrance is in the alley. Server was super friendly & kind. Order at the counter and seat yourself. Smallish space, maybe 6-8 tables inside. It's December and they had a space heater going keeping it cozy & warm. Highly recommend! read more

My family and I ordered the applewood bacon burger and a combo consisting of fish (cod) and chips with calamari strips. The food was good as with any other establishments that have a similar menu. It was busy during our visit but we were lucky to find a table outside. After ordering, it got much more busier so takeout might be a better option. Would I return? Probably not as there are other places I would like to try if ever we come back. read more

We picked this place because it was not busy at the time! I got in line just right before the lunch rush started coming in. The space could feel cramped due to many tourists would get in line for food. The food portions were good though. 10/10 will come back if we ever revisit West Port. read more

Average food. Super high prices. Not nearly as good as Merino's. Came here on a trip for a few days and tried a bunch of restaurants. Bennett's was one of the worst. Service was decent though. read more

been awhile having fresh seafood at any beach, but was really craving something, 1st thinking a good fresh battered fish & chips, then changing it up to some good old fresh battered prawns, & Bennett's did not disappoint, very interesting take having them deep fried on a skewer but the the "big shrimp" were nice size & succulent, with a nice tarter sauce to complement them & the well proportioned perfectly deep fried fries which I could not finish. The staff were very very pleasant, place fairly busy for an October but a nice sunny day brings them out to the beach even then, and the turn around was quick while the food was perfectly cooked, maybe tasting slightly greasy but for deep fried can be expected. And the coffee which I typically don't order tasted great, was going to order water but that comes at a price in a bottle, oh well. I've avoided Bennett's base on the one time my wife & I went to the one in Ocean Shores, a bit larger dining area with a nice surfer shack ambience, but the service was very very slow despite the large number of young staff working there at the time, and they acted smug like they were the best fish & chips place there with over priced meals that were not that impressive. Anyway, that was quite a long time ago, and the Westport Bennett's today was completely different in attitude & service, prices a little on the high end side, but I would go back as long as my appetite was up for a little deep fried... read more

Chelsea was fantastic - personable, charismatic, and fun. She made our experience truly enjoyable. We had a great time. Thank you!

Seemed a bit over priced, I don't know where they get their fish, but mine were sort of inch diameter pieces the length of a hotdog. The batter didn't have much flavor. The tartar sauce was good. The clam strips were good, the cocktail sauce has great potential, but mine was partially frozen so it was difficult to dip into. The chips just okay. The place was crowded and it seemed that they were just like a factory making fish and chips. It wasn't close to the best fish and chips that I have had, but it certainly wasn't the worst. I guess I was expecting more at the ocean. read more

We came to Westport on a whim and decided on this place also on a whim. I'm pretty glad we went! It was good food! We had the breaded halibut/strips combo and the crab melt. Portion size: 5/5. Just perfect for us, the combo was actually a bit larger than we thought. Spicy level: 0. We didn't actually order anything spicy and the breading could have used a bit more pepper, but we're used to eating spicy. Flavor: the fries were a bit too salty but the crab melt balanced it out. It was fresh, light, and perfectly balanced the plate in terms of flavor. The combo could have used a bit more green (visually, haha). Price: a bit pricy but the food was good enough that I didn't mind. No pics of the melt since I demolished it as soon as it was set down. Overall, 8/10. Wouldn't mind driving three hours to eat here again :) read more

The chicken on the cranberry chicken salad was those cold processed slices you get on cheap cafeteria salads, but it had been in the fridge or freezer so long that it was rubbery and difficult to chew most of it. The fish (halibut) and chips were ok (maybe 2.5*), but you nearly any fish and chips you can get in say, Olympia, are better than this at a much lower price, that's pretty sad. Westport should have the advantage with access to good fresh fish and years of practice making fish and chips with limited menus. read more

Always good! Just had the dungeness ceasar salad. Well proportioned and delicious. Super happy belly.

Employees were nice, but it did not smell good inside. Food was terribly disappointing. Not fresh

Love the prime rib melt and fish and chips. The chowder isn't my favorite. Usually comes cool and overloaded with potatoes. Service staff is generally good but a few klinkers get in now and then. Overall a good lunch stop in a beach town. read more

The cod was fresh, big and meaty. The batter was well done and plenty crisp. Best battered fish I've had. The Dungeness and cheddar sandwich was delicious. Basically a whole fresh crab or two perfectly cleaned and chopped up with mild seasoning, and a few add ins for flavor and feel. Some whole meaty portions remained which were a pleasure to eat. The soda is great. Fries are excellent. People are nice and the house is comfortable and homey feeling without being dirty, read more

My husband and I shared a COMBO plate of fried cod, clam strips, and fries. DELICIOUS! The fish, huge pieces not over breaded or over cooked. The clams yumm. The restaurant was casual family style. Everyone super friendly and FAST service. Looking forward to going again! read more

we always go here when we visit town, its reliable and right across from the marina. the fish and chips are the best. not my favorite clam chowder. but its a cute little spot that has the best hours/they're open more than other spots which makes it appealing read more

Suuccchhhhhhh good fish and chips! The frying was done perfectly and the fish was so fresh and delicious. Only reason this isn't five stars is just because it was so incredibly busy, meaning there was a really long wait and there was not any available seating. read more

This was a super fish dinner. Halibut Fish n chips and deep fried oysters. Superior, right from the sea. My wife's cheeseburger was delish too The fries are fresh cut and abundant. If I had room, I would eat again. LOL. read more

RIDICULOUSLY E X P E N S I V E In the interest of full disclosure: Eating at this restaurant, is going to be expensive. You can expect to spend 200+ if you're bringing the family Family dining, subject to everything's extra which means everything is an upsell. What do I mean? For starters... if you're going to pay $26 for two pieces of halibut and a pile of fries, it should come with a tiny side of complementary coleslaw, don't you think? But no, no no no no, not here, coleslaw additional upgrade, everything's subject to upgrades and add-ons. Great place to come if you've won the lottery and want to pay twice as much for what it should be. The food is good it's not too greasy. The fries were crisp and crunchy which means they change the oil frequently but I have to say it's incredibly expensive. You can go to someplace like Stanley and Seafort's, or Anthonys on the water and pay similar prices with better experience and refined atmosphere. In other words, this is like tourist trap pricing. We got you where we want you now we're going to gouge you. !! read more

Food was good the service was ok a little more smile and cheer. The location of beverages was not convenient located next to the front door Was a great place to grab a lunch read more

Love this place. Came here repeatedly last summer while we were 'babysitting' a 125' Classic yacht on its way down the coast. We are here currently for a couple of days 'adventure trip' and we just HAD to come here for lunch. The fish is what it should be: a full legit portion of fish only lightly battered and fried crisp. CRISP not soggy. Fish is super fresh and the fries are awesome. This will be a regular stop every time we are in Westport. read more

Very disappointing. My wife took a couple bites of the halibut fish and chips and didn't eat the rest. They apologized but that was it. It was very dry and not good at all. Cod was decent. Women's bathroom was very smelly and there was a fish smell when we walked in. The French fries were good, but not worth the $50 cost for lunch for 2. I would not recommend. If you are a tourist like us, go someplace else. It's not worth your money or limited vacation time. read more

Bennett's never disappoints. This time with a group of 5 it was a bit more challenging to get a table, but people move in and out of here pretty quickly so there was a table available in time to sit down and eat. The line was out the door on Labor Day weekend at dinner time, but the time passed quickly with fun conversations with other patrons. The servers do have to weave in and out of the line delivering food but they maintained their composure and did it with a smile. The food comes quickly and it is hot when delivered. Burgers, Cod, and Clam Strips were all delicious and the fries held their own too. The coleslaw had a little different sauce than I am used to, but I would get it again. The meals are good sized, we took 3 togo boxes home with us. They serve Stubborn Soda on draft - very good. We'll be back of course! read more

We arrived to a busy place Saturday evening. This place is a local treasure. We spent part the day at the 33rd Annual Crab Races... so much fun!!!! Dinner was wonderful! Fish cooked to perfection, and a Caesar salad that was plentiful. The Cranberry Chicken salad was full of chicken, cranberries, and cashews! The kids meal is enough if you are not so hungry. The seating is limited. There is outdoor seating. read more

Unfortunately this place is rated lower than it should be. Hope this helps! My fiancée and I ordered the halibut and salmon sandwiches for lunch. We didn't expect much because most restaurants in the area aren't great, but our meals were delicious. We also got a couple oyster shooters which were awesome too. We would definitely come back. Staff was very friendly and eager to help. Thanks and look forward to the next visit! To the wankers complaining about the prices...WA is expensive. Also this is a tourist town, so this is all standard. read more

Update - don't sleep on the chicken "taco". If you aren't in the mood for fried food or that ridiculously delicious burger, the taco is a great option. Grilled chicken, pico, avocado. It's a lot, so come hungry. Also can be a little heavy on onion, if that's something that you'e not into. read more

We were back in Westport so a stop at Bennet's was on the menu. The battered cod was good sized with 2 large pieces of fish and fries. Their Ceasar salad is more than that as it comes with avocado slices, tomatoes and pepperoncini. For the kids, the hamburgers always hit the spot. The place was full, but everyone seemed to get a table before their food was ready. read more

After a family day at WestPort Light state park we came across Bennet's Fish Shack. How the reviews vary from person to person. You never know until you try it out yourself. I'm here to tell you that our experience was 5 stars! From what the eye can see the indoor and outdoor dining were very clean. Step up to the counter to order. I appreciate the staff who were patient with us while we decided what everyone wanted. Their brand of water bottles are such a good deal and are plenty to douse the salty deep fried goodness. The prices are fair considering how generous they are with the portions of food. The pieces of cod were huge! I have never seen that in California. Fries are a win. I will say the clam strips are not terrible. A suggestion of less batter so one can taste the clams. If you order anything, do yourself a favor and get the cheese curds. That was a crowd favorite for the family. It's the little things, but the delicious cocktail and tartar sauce were in actual containers that allowed you to dip your fish etc. How annoying it can be to spoon out sauce from those tiny sauce cups. All in all a great spot! There will be another round at Bennet's Fish Shack the next time we're in town! read more
