    The View

    I visited the Plank House for the first time, expecting a higher price point, which was indeed the case. While the food was delicious and lived up to its reputation, I can only rate my experience with two stars due to the poor service. Dining on the veranda offered a stunning view of the sunset over the water, but the wait for the waiter was excessive, and there was no proper napkin setup; I received only bar napkins. When I requested the heaters to be turned on, the waiter seemed clueless and did not make an effort to assist, forcing me to seek help from the hostess myself. The waiter only appeared to deliver my food, and I was left without a fork, having to ask twice for one. Given that the restaurant was not busy, the level of service was disappointing, especially for a $56 meal consisting of soup and salad. Unfortunately, the service I experienced will deter me from returning, despite the quality of the food.

    This clean, quiet restaurant is tucked away in the back of the Mills Casino. The Mrs & I loved that their restaurants have a separate entrance so you don't have to walk thru the smoky, bell-clanging, beeping & chime ringing casino. We were taken to a table next to a wall of windows that had a wonderful view & in a matter of seconds had placed our order. The service was friendly & I'm sorry, but I couldn't read the ladies name on her ID card hanging around her neck. However, our meals were just okay. I had the scrambled eggs & biscuits covered with sausage gravy with hash browns. Honestly, it was barely warm. The Mrs went with bacon & eggs with hash browns covered in gravy. Hers was also lukewarm at best. We enjoy food served that is hot & steamy. The service & the atmosphere were wonderful, but, you go to a restaurant for the food.

    We visited this restaurant for about a week during our stay for The Mill High Tide Tattoo Festival. The service was amazing. We were promptly seated as soon as we arrived. The view is beautiful with the bay in the background. The employees were all very attentive and knowledgeable. They checked on our table often. Mari was our favorite server, due to her pleasant demeanor. The food was very good. We ate breakfast here the most but also had a delicious pizza to go. All of our food was very fresh and we were allowed to customize our orders. This was by far our favorite restaurant.

    The Logger breakfast with sausage patties!

    We ate here while staying at the hotel. The service by Jared was exceptional! He was gracious offered wonderful wine recommendations and did not steer us wrong. The shrimp scampi was so delicious I had it two nights in a row! I cannot express what wonderful service we received from everyone in the restaurant. My only wish would be I wish they were closer to home.

    Best breakfast in town, their bacon jam burger is the best. Very friendly staff, has an amazing view of the bay

    The food and service is typically good...I had the Halibut and it was not good. Should have stuck with the ribeye.

    Our Coastal Restaurant Run -- 4 Days of Food, Friends & Fun!…read more What started as an idea to get a bunch of retired food-loving friends together turned into the BEST little coastal adventure! We hosted our friends at our home on the Oregon Coast for four days and decided to make it all about what we love most -- good food, great restaurants, and even better company! We hit the road along Hwy 101, exploring some of our favorite spots from Coos Bay to Brookings. Our first pick was SHARK BITE and we all had wonderful food and this was our lunch. Every meal was an adventure, and we had so much fun comparing dishes, discovering new favorites, laughing until our sides hurt, and enjoying that beautiful coastal scenery along the way. We even made our own little Coastal Restaurant Run theme, complete with painted rocks and a restaurant passport. Each stop became part of the memories. The best part? It wasn't really about finding the best restaurant. It was about slowing down, eating way too much, sharing stories, and enjoying four days together. Good friends. Good food. Good times. Great memories. If you love food, beautiful coastal drives, and discovering those special local restaurants along Hwy 101, we highly recommend making SHARK BITE on your list to stop and eat. We'd do it all over again in a heartbeat!

    The food was good and staff friendly. They could use some special cleaning on their lamps. It's…read morealways a little disturbing when you look up and see the lamp above you is caked in dust. Knowing one swift breeze could send a chunk down to your food or drink. Overall though its a fun atmosphere and good food. They have beer on tap and thats always a plus in my book.

    German restaurants are surprisingly rare out west and I haven't eaten German food in decades…read more I grew up with a German immigrant step father and I think he was most homesick for the food. Even though I had a most complicated relationship with him, I still have fond memories of him and miss him. My son and husband ate here about a year prior and have never stopped talking about it and promised to bring me on our next trip. I have a weird dietary restriction, but I could eat off this menu and anything I wanted, which made me soooooo happy. I had the pork roulade and a raspberry beer for dinner. On Sunday I had the Bananas foster French toast. All of the food was excellent, well crafted and well served. We had the caramel pecan cheesecake and my husband, who is the biggest critic and curmudgeon around desserts, was in love with it. I saw a few reviews that the food wasn't authentic, but as it happened the table next to us was a German gentleman (from Germany ) and he seemed absolutely delighted with ALL of it. As was the ghost of my stepfather. It definitely has an old school dark wood, typical German vibe going back to the late 80's/90's. If you want something hip and trendy, well, go somewhere else. It was part of its charm in my view. I loved our kind, but sassy waitress. She made us laugh and took good care of us. Definitely a must stop.

    Served hot, fresh, fast, taste delicious, and good price for the quality. What more can you ask…read morefor! But to top it off, the service was great and I loved the authentic German vibes. Lastly, get a free slice of cake for paying cash! Boom mic drop...now go get some Blue Heron! P.S. I got Chocolate Bavarian cake as shown in the picture. It was really good and is the Boston cream pie of chocolate cakes with a yummy custard cream filling/icing.
