Our Coastal Restaurant Run -- 4 Days of Food, Friends & Fun! 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! read more

The food was good and staff friendly. They could use some special cleaning on their lamps. It's always 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. read more

Delicious! We tried the slaw taco on recommendation of another reviewer: I can confirm it's worth it. The halibut burger was really tasty, and we liked getting two items off the ticket menu for some fun variety. read more

This place is definitely a must due for food. Everyone on the staff is so friendly and helpful . I went with the platter, cause I wanted to taste of variety of seafood . Everything was spot on everything was delicious. There was absolutely nothing wrong with this food here.. I just wish I had more time to eat more food from this place . Definitely recommend this place read more

Shark Bites Cafe just dropped an affordable new burger and taco menu that is absolutely to die for--introducing The Ticket! We love the clever, fun menu names playing off pop culture and classic fast-food hits [hello, McRipper (McDonald's), Roy-Day-O [Carls Jr) and aMiNal Style Fries (In-N-Out)]. A delicious must-try...we have tried all of them! And of course their Mex Tacos on their full menu is flat-out incredible! Say, Hi and Thank You to the chefs!! The bartenders are rock stars! read more

A bit slow getting our order but after that fast friendly service and amazing food. We ordered the ClamChowder Calamari App Halibut and chips and pork shrimp salad. It was all amazing Next time we pass this way we will definitely stop again! read more

We were looking for a dog friendly place and oh boy they are dog friendly! I like to try all the clam chowder every time. I'm on a coastal town and shark bites did not disappoint. Super friendly family business so kids definitely welcome. My sister got the fish tacos. I gotta say that the fried fish inside the tacos was probably the best , I took a little bite of it. There was no grease and super crispy. their homemade margarita with fresh squeeze. Juices !!!great.!!!!My sister got a Moscow mule and it was good. I got some oysters that were fried and they were good and I got a bean dip chips and salsa, which was also excellent! Super chill inside kind of a beach vibe read more

To preface this review- the servers here were very nice!! That said, the service was poor. We had to get up from the table 4-5x, for every need: napkins, extra sauce, drinks, and the bill. Check ins from the waiter never happened, despite the restaurant not even being super busy. Regarding the food, the food was very bland, and tasted like it was cooked in used/old oil. The fried cod was extremely chewy, but the main problem is simply that it lacks any taste whatsoever, as well as the halibut, popcorn shrimp, calamari, oysters. I don't feel like previous reviews regarding flavor are accurate. Not to nitpick, but we also realized that the water tasted odd as well? Overall, the experience was fine but personally would not recommend. read more

Great space, attached to a surfer shop. So you could enter from one side of the street that housed the surf shop, or the other side, being the restaurant. One person dealing with a steady flow of people, but he was cool, calm, collected, and coped effortlessly well with the flow of customers. Obviously being attached to a surf shop, it has that surf vibe. I ordered Popcorn shrimp, fries, and coleslaw, and it was delicious. The coleslaw was yummy. The popcorn shrimp were fresh, juicy and succulent. I could just eat that again, right now. The service was excellent, and i had a great view of a giant blue jellyfish from the window (made from trashed water bottles apparently) I would 100% revisit this place if i was in the area again. Yummy read more

Great food and service!!!!...will visit again....we come from roseburg...worth the drive!!!

Excellent service and delicious fish tacos--the best ever! Their prices are reasonable and well worth it.

We had a great meal here at SharkBites. The food was fresh and tasted great. We had the fish tacos, chicken tacos and shrimp cocktail. All of it was very good and if we lived in the area this would be a regular spot for us. Service was excellent and all the staff was very friendly. read more

Great food and friendly service we shared grilled halibut tacos and calamari and a cup of clam chowder

The staff was friendly, the food was good, there wasn't a long wait on our food I ordered the calamari strip basket and they were thick cut, cooked very well, and their fries are delicious as well. The atmosphere here is very comforting they have a nice decor with some nice music playing as well. Definitely worth the stop read more

Stopped in for a family snack/meal. We were very happy with our decision. The service was great, laid back atmosphere, and the food was fantastic. My wife and I got the fish tacos from the specials menu, the blackened and spicy. Both were so good! Great spot in Coos Bay! read more

Food was horrible!!!!! Uncleaned shrimp and oysters!!! Fish was DRY. Waitress never checked on us! Supervisor was rude and un professional ! Don't risk eating here! read more

Best clam chowder i have ever had. Not too thick or thin. Lots of clams cut in small chunks just perfect for a little clam and potato in every spoonful. Halibut delicious, cooked crispy and cut in medium size pieces. Cole slaw has a little ginger taste. Margaritas nice for folk's who like it not too sweet. We like our margaritas sweet so added sugar. Very nice service. Highly recommend. Prices a little high but quality of food makes it worth every penny. French fries cooked perfect too. No old oil smells with fried food! read more

We stopped by shark bites on our way down the coast. There were lots of different seafood options and the staff were vey friendly. The nice thing about this restaurant was that the creamy clam chowder was gluten free. It was very good, and still had a thickness to it. For our main food we ordered tacos and fish and chips. The fries were really good, and the fish was very crispy but didn't have much flavor. My husband enjoyed his tacos and beans on the side. read more

First time here & was slightly surprised that after you walk through a small souvenir section, you place your order at the counter & then walk to a table. Kinda like a fast food restaurant. It was a bit busy & we had to wait a few minutes to place our orders. We sat at a window booth overlooking Broadway & watched the traffic as we waited. We had both ordered the crab cake burger, a Dungeness crab cake with fresh dill, sautéed onions, avocado, tomato & lettuce. It comes out on a soft Kaiser roll with tartar sauce. However, ours was pretty dry. If it had tartar sauce, it could've used more. Still, it was tasty. The fries had a crispy texture with a fluffy inside & just enough salt to be flavorful but not overwhelming. A small side of Cole slaw came with the meals: I'm not a fan. It was just meh at best. I thought it was dry & bland. The Mrs got a Bloody Mary that she said was good but not what the menu said it would be. The menu calls for blue cheese stuffed olives & hers had the pimento olives. Overall, we did enjoy our meal here, but there is room for improvement. read more

SharkBites - the interior of a restaurant - Fish & Chips Near Me - Coos Bay, Oregon

I was debating with a three or four rating. My spouse reminded me that this was the place where we had the fresh cut french fries. I moved it to a four based on the french fries. My fish and chips were OK. My wife enjoyed the shrimp tacos. Very basic place and I will stress very. Not a lot of great restaurant choices along the Oregon coast, but this was what we needed. A place to get a quick bite and rest from our travel down the coast. read more

Way, way, way, OVER priced. 3 very small crab cakes loaded with salt $26.20. Cup of clam chowder $9.25. Fish and Chips were good but really $22.35! My suggestion go somewhere else. Young worker was condescending. Older worker was great. read more

Excellent, friendly service with just the right amount of attention and welcoming vibes. The restaurant is sound-absorbent; it wasn't noisy even though there were a lot of people talking. I had the daily special halibut tacos, which were exceptionally good. I ate a few of my partner's fries, and those were great as well. One of the best dining-out experiences I've had in a long time! read more

Disclaimer: we are tourists and we did not order what most people seem to enjoy - the fish and chips. First, when we entered , there were two preschoolers (or so in age) that I suspect were the owners kids ? Idk. They were running around the restaurant. Not disruptive just normal kids. At one point tho one of them sat on top of the bar while the (owner?) was making drinks, stuck his finger in something on the bar and licked his finger. It was kind of unnerving. We were interested in local fish so ordered the fried oysters. Also crab cakes and a cup of chowder. Disclaimer 2: we never had fried oysters maybe they are always like this. They were big and greasy and when we cut them open it seemed as though their digestive track was full of yutz. We could not eat them. We eat raw oysters and they are probably full of yutz also (?) idk. But they were quite gross. Chowder was meh. Crab cakes also greasy. I think they knew the food was not great because we declined when they asked us for a box and no one asked how the food was. In fact the man didn't even make eye contact when he cleared our dishes. If I lived here I would try again and order fish and chips or the tacos. read more

Boat, pier, and beach vibes restaurant. We came here for seafood. Servers were friendly and attentive. We ordered Arnold Palmer, popcorn shrimp, and calamari. Arnold Palmer was mixed well. The calamari was tender, and flavorful. It went well with the cocktail shrimp dipping sauce. The popcorn shrimp was crispy and also served with cocktail shrimp dipping sauce. The fries was fresh and crispy. Good dining experience overall. read more

Bruh these were huge like they caught some big ass squids for these bad boys. The waitresses were a delight too very nice and loved my J's Would definitely come back again if I lived here. read more

We stopped for lunch in a rainy day. What a pleasant surprise! Fish & Chips were amazing so was the halibut sandwich. Great service and atmosphere. read more

We visited Coos Bay expecting to enjoy some fresh seafood. The Seafood Platter here included fish, shrimp, scallops, oysters, (calamari?), but was hard to distinguish one from another by appearance or flavor, since all were covered in thick doughy coating and deep fried. When we sat after ordering & paying, our suspicions rose as to their seafood bonafides when a table of (8-9?) young women (team?) and an older man (coach?) that preceded us were all served cheeseburgers of various stripes. The sales check had our fairly expensive (over $50 with 1 drink) meal properly listed as "SPLATT". read more

I don't mind the food. . .It's kind of spendy, but what isn't these days! What I "DO" mind is being Ripped OFF for TIPS. First they charge you an 18% TIP (See attached Photo), then they get you for another $1.95 to process your card. Then they try to Fleece you again for an "ADDITIONAL" TIP on top of everything else. What a Rip Off. . . I feel really bad for people that haven't paid attention to this SCAM! ! ! ! ! ! There are a lot of other HONEST businesses in town that won't try to steal your hard earned money. . . Go There! ! ! read more

The staff were polite and attentive. We had the crab cakes basket and halibut basket. Halibut was dry and the crab cakes were tiny. Not worth the $34 price. If theres more worth while food on the menu I'll personally never find out. Not worth going back to. read more

Great service and great tacos. Loved the space and enjoyed hanging out. We had to make a quick stop for food and this made the whole family happy. read more

Loved this place, the service was excellent. I went because the chicken was recommended, and I would add that the fries are fantastic. The server was a middle aged/older man and he was wonderful, I would love to return next time I'm in Coos Bay. read more

Cool vibe. Good food. Good service. Prices seemed so-so. Everyone enjoyed their meals. One small negative was the dressing on the blackened halibut salad was odd, it was extremely citrus-y. A different dressing would have made a world of difference. read more
