Stopped by to just get a coffee on the way to Neah Bay but got so much more than that. Amazing service from Shelly, delicious patty melt and a scrumptious slice of pie. This small fisherman's town is super cute and everyone is beyond friendly. Will be back in the future! 10/10 read more

10/10! The western burger was huge, fresh and made of quality ingredients! The fries are house made which is a treat. Our other guests had the grilled cheese, which consisted of sourdough and tillamook cheese and we got 2 sandwiches of it which was a wonderful appreciative menu move for by the bay! We also got a standard cheeseburger and it rivaled any other cheese burger I've seen or have had. We will definitely be back if we are in the area! Service was great and the waitress/cook (she knocked it out of the park running the place by herself!) was attentive and friendly. Nice job team read more

I forgot to take a pic of the burger I got which is "The Western" It's a small diner/cafe old bldg, the fries could've been cut a little thinner and fried to a little bit more of a crisp, however the I will say the burger was freaking delicious!! Service was ok, one waitress, food took a long time to come out but it was fresh!! A little pricey for what you get in my personal opinion. read more

This place is a gem! What a great local place for chowder or fish & chips. In the past I was impressed with their chowder, and although it was a tough decision, this time I tried their French Dip. I was not disappointed! A cool option I did not try, was a "Fisherman's Lunch"- a brown bag take-away option for those on the go. The server was great, and was able to manage a variety of clientele in a professional manner. One of the greatest things is the beautiful view out the front window. There is outdoor seating available. We will return! read more

Great local spot if you want a good burger. Very friendly staff. If you like blue cheese, get it to dip your fries into. The fries are pretty greasy but the blue cheese helped them taste better. Theirs is house made and really good. Eat outside and enjoy the view. Can get pretty slow if it gets busy. read more

Great spot for breakfast. Good food, service, clean, priced right, and right on the bay! Cute town- much nicer than Neah bay. Curley and tides look like a nice place for overnight. Lots of eagles soaring in the sky. Probably a RV lovers delight! read more

Holy Moly!! This place is what every diner/cafe dreams of being!! Fresh cut fries, fresh everything..clam chowder was perfection! I also had the Asian cabbage(which is not cabbage & is supposed to not make me gassy lol ) chicken soup and it was hands down one of the best comfort soups I've ever had. Fish and chips-perfectly cooked. Chicken strips-juicy and tender and club sandwich so big I had to take over half to go!! 10/10 best meal we've had in Washington! The owners were such genuine sweet people too, down to earth good folk! Go see them! read more

Only restaurant in town but the food is good. It can take a while for the food to come out though since there is only one cook. We had the black bean burger and fish and chips which comes with fries made in house. The food was great but the fries were a bit burnt and over salted. Great views of the bay and friendly staff. read more

So happy we came upon this place as we made our way up Cape Flattery. Lunch spots were very limited. Both my husband & I ordered fish & onion rings. Food was as expected, good but tasted like every other fried fish place. The place itself was small & unassuming. The service was good and people were nice. The views were incredible though. We even spotted a couple bald eagles. read more

Great little place. Service was wonderful as we were the only people there. We mentioned that we would split a Fish and chips and it was served on two separate plates. Little disappointed there was no claim chowder though. read more

What a sweet and memorable dining experience! We loved the friendly service and charming small-town vibes. An older lady took our order, cooked our meal, and even had a great conversation with us. Watching bald eagles fly over the bay as we dined was a nice highlight. Anything with bacon here is exceptional--perfectly crisp and thickly cut. My wife and I split the club sandwich, a large three bread sandwich with bacon on top. Our kids enjoyed the fish and chips and the western burger. The crispy, lightly battered onion rings and fresh-cut thick fries were fantastic! read more

We decided to take a random trip to Sekiu on the off season and didn't expect much to be open. The co-op lady told us that the owners of this restaurant had suffered a terrible car crash and only opened 2 days out of the week and we were lucky enough to be there right before they closed. The cook and the lady who was there with him were very kind. We got a burger with an extra patty. My husband really liked it. I tasted it and something was off for me, but he liked it so that's what matters. The size was huge too, so good portions. I got the BLT, which was packed and also sizeable. Good fries, too. Ambiance was obviously dead but I can imagine how this little diner lights up during the right season. read more

Quaint little divey cafe with a view of the bay and friendly staff. We ate here multiple times as it is located next door to where we were staying. All the food appeared to be made from scratch and served hot. The cheeseburgers were a solid 4/5. Fries are had the skin on them and a bit greasy. The Fish and chips were good. 4/5 Crispy coating with a yummy seasoning. Breakfasts were classics 4/5. The shakes were the best. The strawberry shakes were made with fresh local strawberries. There is only one server and a cook and wait times can be very long when they have a rush. read more

The service here is amazing! They are friendly and they even have me hiking locations to check out! Matt and Linda we thank you for all that you did for us!!!! The restaurant had great atmosphere! Right down by the bay. You can see Canada in the distance. The portions of food were large and the French toast was great! read more

Stopped here as we wondered along the coast What a great find, made our day! Good food, best chowder I've had in a long time and proper fish and chips, governor!! Stayed to enjoy the view and chat with the server and the other patrons read more

The good: great views, super friendly service. Patty Melt was delicious. We finished with milkshakes to go, and that was a fun little bonus. The bad: My fish and chips were horrible, the fish literally inedible. Should have been a clue that a fishing town has Alaskan cod instead of its own local fish. Whatever it was...stringy, gristle-y (yes), it was disgusting. The fries were great! Just a heads up on an otherwise lovely little spot. read more

Everything they serve is just soooo good. Burgers, pancakes, clam chowder, fish and chips, home made pies and even more! Great service too! You must try this spot if you are visiting Sol Duc Hot Springs! read more

They were really busy when we stopped in but the service was friendly and pleasant. We got seated and order a French dip, bacon cheeseburger and the Captains seafood platter, which was huge. They close at 8pm so make sure you get there early enough to order. The place isn't huge but they servers kept things moving. The ambiance was nice as you can look outside of the windows and see the bay (hence the name). After dinner we took a walk around the bay and it was a beautiful way to end the night. Definitely recommend a stop here if you are in the area. read more

Great little place serving good food for both breakfast and dinner. Friendly staff! Would eat here again!

We stopped here after leaving La Push. It's a cute location on the water near the fishing docks. We sat near a window and were brought water promptly. We ordered a salad and burger then waited around 30 minutes for our food with only one other table in the restaurant. The salad was fresh and tillamook cheese was tasty. The chicken was crispy. All in all no complaints about it. The burger was juicy and fries were crispy. The bacon on the burger was the best part of the meal. A fine place to stop when passing through. We both had stomach aches after. read more

Stopped by yesterday with friends for a late lunch. Great food and service. Really enjoyed the homemade beef stew and the patty melt. Others had the grilled ham and cheese sandwich and a burger with fries. Also great location with a great view. Highly recommend. read more

What a surprise! We'd been to Cape Flattery and we were ...hangry. We couldn't really find anywhere to eat on the Makah land, so we (hangrily) drove down to Sekiu to find something to eat. By the Bay Cafe was fantastic!!! Sweet people. Locals, except for us. Sweet view of the little marina and the water. The clam chowder was *to die for*. Yum yum yummmmmm. My son got the burger (cowboy burger?) and it was fantastic. If you venture out to Cape Flattery, this is where you want to eat. No question. read more

By the Bay Cafe - Best burger ever. Fries too. Delish. - American Near Me - Sekiu, Washington

I've been coming regularly for a few years after co-workers said it's the must have in Sekui area. Totally agreed great meal at a fair price. Sadly this year that's changed. Prices shot way up, into top tier fancy restaurant range $18 - $20+ burger. The bacon on my burger was about 1/2 cooked. I love me some bacon in any most any form, but this stood out as obviously unfinished. and to our dismay, the fries have been changed from always amazing to... super thick handcut fries that weren't cooked through. This is a deal breaker for us, the new fries are worse than steak fries. Hate to say it, but after exclusively eating here when in the west end, I'll be now trying the other places around the area to find the next best option. Service has always been fantastic here, thank you ladies for doing great. read more

We ordered the pancake breakfast, the mushroom & Swiss omelet plus 2 super delicious bowls of clam chowder. The food was delicious and the proportions were huge and enough for the 5 of us. The service is impeccable, Diana was super friendly and helpful and provided the secret ingredient to their spoon licking delicious clam chowder. The town itself is also a great place to hang out and observe the sea lions and the white bald eagles that hover around waiting for the seamen to clean their catch. read more

Stopped by this place for dinner before getting the Makah recreation pass for a visit to Neah Bay. This was one of the few options that open "late" aka closes at 8pm, and it was decent food. It is mostly an American diner with burgers, sandwiches, and fried food. We got a Western Bacon Cheeseburger, which was a glorified Carls Jr burger in the sense the patty is quite juicy though the pickles and tomatoes kind of made this burger not that great. We also got the fish and chips and scallops which were deep fried scallops. Fish and chips were solid, especially with the onion rings, while the scallops have way too much batter with a very tiny, although juicy, piece of scallop inside. Service is decent and is typical of an American restaurant. read more

Enjoyed a yummy breakfast to start our day of adventuring. The hash-browns with peppers and onions were delicious and the eggs were perfectly cooked to over medium. Staffing was low and they were super busy but still took time to provide excellent customer service. It was packed so my adult children sat at the bar while my husband and I enjoyed an outdoor table overlooking the bay. The kids loved the waitress- she was super sweet and chatted with them the entire breakfast. Great small town vibe! read more
