    No place like it. I love the lodge, my favorite bartender Aimee works there. Stop in for some local chatter, pool, or chill place to hang.

Oct-7-25 Make reservations the day before! The wife got an end cut, I got the big cut, it came with a small dinner salad, baked potato and green beans. Our meal was perfectly cooked medium rare. Potatoes were perfect and saturated in butter, salad was good, fresh and plentiful, green beans seemed to be frozen with very little to no flavors., however I just dumped the excessive butter from the potato onto the beans, salt pepper, all good! Staff was friendly, service was a bit slow, we were close to the first ones at a table 15 min early, tickets got messed up, so there was a delay as others that showed up after us started getting served, but hey... what are gonna do.?! Parking in back, plenty of other food to order if you didn't want the prime rib. Atmosphere is basically a bar, old eclectic feel, like you're out in the country and you come across an old local bar. Outdated, dark, not many seats but that's the charm of it. We had a great experience, with minor inconveniences, no biggie! I would recommend it, prime Rib was awesome! Probably more of an adults night out, doesn't seem to be largely family oriented. I got so excited when the food came I forgot to take pics however, I did snap some current menu pictures. I gave it 4 stars because I believe every establishment can improve somewhere.

    Lovely and clean inside, well-styled..... which is why I was first surprised to find pre-packaged…read moretartar sauce that came with my hubby's (very clearly made from frozen) fish and chips. The bacon/blue cheese burger was just so-so. It was also a little off putting that the chef/owner was on his cell phone in the dining room when there were no orders. The highlight by far was the french fries..... imagine if a steak fry and a curly fry had a baby.... nice and crispy on the outside, while perfectly done on the inside.

    Visited on around 5 PM on a Thursday in November. Place was packed. On a Thursday. In November…read more In Ocean Shores. This is very good news!! * Location: Perfect location on the north end of the tourist retail area on Point Brown, across the street from the ice cream shop & go karts. * Interior/decor - Neat, clean, bright. Wrap around bar seating, counters at the window, a few tables, two dart boards, jukebox and ATM. * Service - We were greeted when we walked in, found three seats at the bar (all tables were full). The person behind the bar gave us menus, asked for our drink orders and reminded it was cash only. * Food - limited menu (see photos). We had burgers w/chips (thick cut curly fries). Really good, fairly priced. I had the Harbor Bar + cheese & bacon, other two peeps had the mushroom burger. 5/5 napkins all around. * Drink - 4 beers on tap. Large selection of canned beers under ice. * Price - Fair & reasonable. $14 for bacon cheese burger + fries, $6'ish for a pint of beer. Cash only. There's an ATM on premise. Ocean Shores needed a place like this. Good food, fair prices (lower than average I think). Zero disrespect to the other burger & beer places in town. More options = more business = more visitors = WIN! The owners are transplants who had a business near Astoria, OR. They saw an opportunity here in Ocean Shores and thank goodness for that! The lone downside is they're cash only. But if you read this review then you know it's cash only and won't be surprised.

    Nothing special. Walking in and wasn't greeted by the young…read morelady on her personal phone. Once seated ("I'll seat you here, because the table is the only clean one") in a pub atmosphere that only had 3 tables with patrons in the establishment. It was NOT busy. Ordered 2 coffees and a diet coke. Had to remind her twice before getting it delivered. Ordering a simple breakfast, a sausage and cheese omelet and chicken fried steak. The toast on the plates were hard yet not overly toasted. The gravy and the potatoes were the best part of all 3 meals. Let me say, the omelet was smaller than the toast in comparison. The waitress abandoned ship and slid off the radar... we had to ask another matey to refill the coffee and he did so very promptly! He was the better part of the experience. Nothing better than a "local chain" breakfast stop. Stick to mom and pops place or cross the street for a Taco!

We were hungry, so we didn't think about wanting to travel to Aberdeen for breakfast. We were desperate for food, so we decided to sit down. Needless to say, we had to wait like 1+ hour for our orders of breakfast. I literally had to skip on my biscuit/gravy order due to staffing issue and time constraint. The server was very polite, but we just could not get past the whole 1+ hour of waiting for breakfast. The food was ok. We won't come back.
