    Gross prefab tartar sauce.
    Jen B.

    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.

    Prime Rib
    Shon O.

    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 +

    Fish & Chips with a view!

    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!

    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.

    Cod and chips
    Lucinda B.

    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!

    Clam Chowder in sourdough bowl
    Jenai E.

    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!

    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.

    expensive but very succulent deep fried prawns & fries with good tarter sauce & coffee, with a nice view of the marina out front...
    Ken L.

    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...

    1st time trying this place and it was really good. Fish taco, chicken, clam chowder, and fries!

    Only been here twice, but both time food has been incredible. This seems to be the most popular…read morefood spot in Raymond and I can definitely see why. Great service, food came pretty quick and very hot and fresh. Another part of Pitchwood I find endearing is their Wednesday open mic nights. However, when I finally got to go to one of them, I was rather disappointed. Don't go excepting anything but extremely basic Country, I'm too much of a music nerd to find much special in what's played there. If you come here with expectations on food high they will be reached, just don't come expecting unique music experiences.

    I wanted to like this place more…read more The building has character, the menu looks promising, and I can see why a place like this matters in a small town. Unfortunately, our visit just did not land. The bartender appeared to be doing double duty as server, and I understand what that can do to a shift. I spent about ten years working tables and other service jobs, so I have a lot of sympathy for being overworked. Still, the service felt more than rushed. It felt brusque enough that we did not feel especially welcome. The food was passable. Nothing terrible, but nothing that made us want to come back. The local beer was also a surprise, since it did not taste especially fresh. Maybe this was an off night. I hope so. There is clearly a good idea here, but our experience was a bit of a disappointment.

    Cranberry coast salad Prime rib dip...DAMN…read more.. Will return to run through the rest of the menu.

    This is a popular place in Ocean Shores for casual seafood fare. I had a couple problems with it…read morethough. I wanted beer battered fish & chips, and halibut is my favorite. At Bennett's they have both cod and halibut. Unfortunately for me they only batter their cod and if you want halibut you have to have panko crumbed. The person behind the counter where you order said they prep ahead and they couldn't put the batter on halibut. I also just wanted water as that's my favorite beverage. She told me I couldn't have a regular glass of water with ice. I had to buy it in a bottle with their name printed on the label. It felt like a way to wring yet more money out of their customers. I much prefer generosity to stinginess. It just put me off from the beginning. The cod was fine. But unlike most restaurants when you get fish & chips, there was no coleslaw. All that was on my plate was part of a limp lettuce leaf for a poor excuse of a garnish. We had 2 veggie wraps and a fish sandwich in our party as well. Everybody liked their food well enough. My daughter really liked her fish sandwich. I eat out a lot and Bennett's cutting corners and lack of generosity is unlike the vast majority of restaurants I've been to. I have no desire to return. My mother-in-law lives in Ocean Shores and had suggested the Thai place. Guess we'll go there next time.
