Went late on a Sunday night since it was still open. Food was fresh & yummy. The clam chowder is made in house & tasty. Drinks were strong. It definitely has a dive bar vibe. Someone had driven thru the wall & they had funny signs up about it. Sadly didn't take food pics. Enjoyed some karaoke. It isn't fancy but it was good!

Fish and chips entrée

The fish was huge cuts and nicely cooked, got the onion rings and chowder was very good. The reviews call this a dive bar and maybe it is but it is friendly and people are welcomed and there is a returning clientele for this place it reminds me of a TV show where everyone knows your name kind place. The Logan berry Cider was great and went well with fish.

Flounder Inn is your typical small town dive bar. If you are not scared of dive bars, then go ahead and give this place a shot if you can't figure any place out to eat when you come in to town a little late, and most places are getting ready to close, and some of the other places look a little too packed. We showed up on a Thursday evening, the parking lot wasn't packed so we stopped in. The waitress was very nice, and attentive to our needs. We both ended up ordering the halibut fish n chips, and I had the tomato soup with mine, he had the homemade clam chowder. I forgot to ask if the tomato soup was homemade. It was pretty good. I do not drink often, but since we were on a little vacation I wanted Tito's and pineapple juice. I can't remember if she said they do not carry it, or if they were out. No biggie, I think I ended up with Stoli. The drink was good. He loved his clam chowder, and also the halibut was pretty good. I usually prefer my halibut not breaded, but if they don't make it that way, and this is the only way it was pretty good. The tarter sauce was also pretty good, which I am also picky about some times. I will come back again when in Waldport, and in a jam again about finding a spot to eat. 4 stars just because of atmosphere being a dive bar. Doesn't take away from the service we had.

Fish and Chips with a side of toast.

First impression was that this business needs to work on cleaning. The tables were a bit sticky and dirty and the floors needed vacuumed. The employee was very nice They had a good assortment of beer. My husband ordered a Bloody Mary, it was nothing special. I had a cup of potato soup, it was fresh and delicious. Off to a good start with food. I ordered fish and chips and my husband ordered a hamburger with American cheese. He said that even though the burger was ordered medium rare, it came and it was still dry. Again, nothing special. The shoe string fries were cooked perfectly. As for my fish, they looked beautiful. The top side was nice and crisp but the bottom side was platted too soon after cooking, which made them soggy on the bottom side. The fish had no flavor, they need to season the batter and maybe add some salt to the fish prior to cooking. The best part of the meal was the potato soup. The meal was not worth the cost. I paid $22.00 for the fish and chips, a more reasonable cost would be half that.

Salad bar is gone. Still excellent broasted chicken. Good beer selection and basically undrinkable wine. Corkage is $10.

Ask the Community - Flounder Inn Tavern

Can kids come in?

No. There is visible gambling machines, and for some reason kids might turn to stone if they see one.

Do you serve a special, fried chicken, on some nights?? Broasted?

Every night....as long as broaster is functioning properly.

Is there outdoor seating for folks with dogs?

No. The out door section is pretty limited.

Their clam chowder was surprisingly awesome though! I'd give it a 3.8/4, it's certainly among the best I've had. The service is also great, the staff that was working when I was there was fast and friendly and they all seemed to enjoy working there. Try everything!

This was the surprise of the trip. We stayed at the Adobe a couple of nights and weren't…read moreoriginally planning to dine in-house due to my familiarity with sub-par hotel/resort food. Perhaps my low expectations led to my enjoyment of dinner so much. The rules around reservations was a little annoying, but I'm assuming it's due to staffing issues to make sure they can provide timely service, which they did. After multiple seafood meals, I was considering a "turf" meal. When I asked the server about the Curry Scallops and the Chicken Marsala, his response to the Marsala confirmed my decision. I was already leaning toward the Marsala based off another photo on yelp. I was not disappointed! The chicken breast was aggressively seasoned in a perfect way. Leaving the chicken on top rather than smothering it in Marsala sauce meant the texture in the chicken stayed slightly crunchy the entire meal. Although there weren't nearly as many mushrooms on my dish as the other photo, but had a great mushroom flavor that went so well with the chicken and mashed potatoes. The "veggies" in my case, was a bean medley that appeared slightly odd at first, but was actually pretty tasty. My wife ordered a grilled cheese/salad/French onion soup special. The sandwich was super cheesy, with multiple style cheeses. The salad was good, and we both thought the French onion soup was really good. I spoke to a staff member who said they've gone through a few chefs in the past year and that the current one is her favorite. Whatever she/he is doing is working because our meal was a great conclusion on the final night of our stay.
