We were ready for some yummy seafood dishes after we checked into our Coos Bay inn and this place did not disappoint! The concept is a little unusual in that you stand in line to order and then they will seat you in the adjoining room. We were hungry so we ordered both a Crab Cake burger and a large Local Pink Shrimp Salad to share. For utensils, they hand out a plastic fork with a paper napkin and the food is served in a paper lined metal basket. Not much dishwashing needed here! We had to ask for a knife to cut our burger so that we could share it. The portions here are huge! The crab cake burger was delicious and served with caramelized onions, avocado, lettuce, and tomato. It also came with really tasty french fries- crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, with skins. So good. It also came with coleslaw but I wasn't a fan of it. The pink shrimp salad was fresh and delicious with lots of shrimp, avocado, greens, red onion, tomato, and blue cheese. Service was good - it had a family-run restaurant vibe. We were happy we came here. read more

Order prior to being seated, great food and sandwich choices. Full bar so you can order your favorite libation. Food is delicious, portions are generous, prices are reasonable, service is amazing, and beer is ice cold. If you leave here hungry, it's your own fault! Family owned business where the husband and wife are very involved in day to day operation! My kind of place!! read more

Great food, wonderful service. The fish tacos were delicious and others in my group loved the clam chowder. GF menu was a plus.

Excellent food and great service. We stopped here on the way through Coos Bay and were not disappointed.

The food was absolutely delicious. Very high-quality and exactly what we were craving that day. However, the fact that one of the waiters wanted to insist that there was "no possible way" that the hair that one of the people in our party found in their food immediately upon delivery to our table, could've of been from an employee (yet there was a female server walking around with no hairnet and her hair matched exactly the hair that was found in the food), and did not show any empathy for this situation, made that person feel like what she says wasn't believable, nor did he even offer to comp that persons meal for the inconvenience, is the sole reason for this rating. Remember the customer is always right and it's your job to cater to your customers and make them feel welcome to your establishment. read more

Our son's calamari had to be returned - rubbery sticks (we heard another customer say it was frozen from Sysco). I tried one too, and was stunned how bad it was. My wife had clam chowder which was good. I had halibut fish & chips - OK not great. All of us only had water to drink. We got the bill and were stunned at an $85 bill! They charged us for the calamari. I politely brought this to the attention of the manager who arrogantly replied, "I'm not one of the owners." Sad. The following day we ate at Miller's at the Cove Grill - fantastic food at 30% lower cost. Don't waste your time at SharkBites. Go to Miller's at the Cove or other restaurants in Coos Bay. read more

Fish and ships were best I have had in a while very good you won't be disappointed Not much more to say than that read more

The clam chowder was the best ever! We got the seafood platter and it was excellent. The service was great! Highly recommend

Excelente tacos & ciders. Best place to eat in down town Coos Bay I give it a 9 out of 10 read more

Found this cool spot while camping in the area. Friends had clam chowder, shrimp nachos, burger, and of course "shark bites" and all were very tasty. Also had some great wine and beer. read more

First thing to know here is that there are no sharks in the restaurant or store, so you will not get bitten. Have no worries about that. I saw they had Halibut on menu but it was fried. Shame to take such a great expensive fish and put it in grease so I asked the waitress if she could kindly grill it? Well...she responded....not sure...let me go back and check with the chef if he knows how to do that? OKAYYYYY.... She comes back and says sure...we will grill it for you this time, but she adds..that's not traditional. So for a minute I thought that I was breaking the Halibut Law? I took a risk. But when it came out--it was great. Perfect. There is no need to fry Halibut or anything. Salad was excellent--perfect dressing. Let's get grilled on your menu please and the added benefit is that it will also do your part to reduce health care costs in Coos Bay. Restaurant atmosphere is very casual--not a great place for a romantic dinner. I sat at the Bar to dine as I was alone. Service is efficient, not too friendly but that was okay--I was more concerned with the food quality and taste. Parking for me was on the street, parallel, in front of the restaurant. I would come back here again if they change the menu and add grilled fish. Grill it baby...Frying is such a 70's thing! read more

First time ate this shrimp taco version. I think I expected a more mexican dish so I am a bit sad. The shrimps were small but sweet. The taco size was bigger than normal. The sauce was actually the sauce to eat with seafood, not taco. Overall, this was pretty ok americanized tacos. Service was fast and friendly. read more

For a restaurant this critically lauded and considered a Coos Bay staple, the mistakes at "SharkBites" are difficult to forgive. There were lipstick marks on our water cups, sauce stains on our "clean plates", and when our food was served a flock of flies zoomed in and sat on our meals. Another feature that turned us off was the price of the food. 3 tacos shouldn't be $18! While "SharkBites" didn't insult us with meager portion sizes for the prices they charged, their food was by no means so gourmet as to be charging so much. To their credit, the "Spicy Halibut Street Tacos" were absolutely delicious. The fish was seasoned well and coated in a smoky sauce. There was an abundance of beans, cabbage, and guacamole all housed within a corn tortilla that could've been warmer. The chips and salsa served on the side were clearly fresh, and so pretty great. The "Crab Cake Benedict" looked beautiful, and it had all the elements for a great dish. However, looks are deceiving. The hollandaise sauce didn't taste like typical hollandaise - in fact, it might have been nacho cheese. The kaiser roll on the bottom instead of a proper English muffin was a major misstep: it seemed like a cheap substitute. There also seemed to be a key ingredient missing to make the dish pop, and so it was just one bland, sloppy mess. PRO TIP: order the crab cakes on their own, because they're actually made with more crab than cake and taste great. The saving grace of this brunch dish was the "fingerling potatoes". Unless "SharkBites" cleans up their act and lowers their prices, I don't see myself coming back here. Which is a real shame since their staff is real friendly and they're trying to serve higher quality food with fresh ingredients. read more

My husband had the blackened halibut tacos- he gives them a 5, which NEVER happens. I had the shark bites, yummy little pieces of cod, lightly seasoned- so good. Coleslaw, very good - not too goopy or mayonnaisy. Fries are good. We will definitely come back. read more

Food was fantastic!!! Service was excellent!!! Portions were large and tasty!!! The atmosphere was great and selection of background music was great!!! read more

For a restaurant on the coast I was hoping for fresh fish. The rock fish tacos were fishy smelling and the clam chowder was just ok but the worst was the price l. Way overpriced for mediocre food. read more

Service - horrible. Once the food was delivered to our table, not once did anyone check back with us until the check was delivered. Want another drink? Too bad! Want some more salsa or ketchup (which is only served in tiny small plastic containers, one at a time)? Too bad! During our visit only three other tables were filled - it was not due to being busy. Ambiance - The place seems quirky and interesting when you first come in, but take a closer look . . . down on the floor. The carpet is absolutely filthy disgusting. If a restaurant can't even be bothered to clean the carpet occasionally, really has to make you wonder what the kitchen looks like. Food - It was good, nothing over the top outstanding. Your main course is in a paper lined basket. If your order comes with a side, its provided in a lidded plastic container. read more

We've been traveling in our 5th wheel for over a month now and the taco I just ate was amazing. Best meal of our trip so far. I ordered the Southwestern Slaw Tacos and forgot to take a picture before I ate one, so you get to see my left over taco. It's stuffed full of mouthwatering goodness. Anyway must come, must see, must eat! PS even though this restaurant, like many others are lacking workers because NOBODY wants to work, they are a well oiled machine and friendly. read more

Decided to hit both shark bites and fisherman's to compare the chowders. I really liked the fillings in this chowder, plenty of clam. I would have preferred it to be slightly thicker but that's my preference. Crab cakes were good as well, nothing extraordinary and nothing to complain about. The sweet chili sauce was alright. read more

Great service right when you walk-in,Very nice, helpful with figuring out what you want to eat, offers all kinds of suggestions, because when I'm hungry & waited to long to eat , I can't think, so in saying that the young man that took my order was very helpful & patient, we get back home , the presentation of the way the food was in containers (PERFECT) Best of all it was (SO Delicious) Thank you , definitely will be back!! read more

Great GLUTEN FREE place! They have a separate gluten free menu with a lot of options. A lot of people raved about the clam chowder so I tried that and it was really good! $8 for a bowl. The family tried the fish & chips (not gf). They all agreed the cod fish and chips were way better. Halibut fish & chips were NOT worth the extra $4 in their opinion. All the food was great though! Also.. they have a little toy area for toddlers and little kids to play which was awesome! Great place! read more

We arrived here about 5pm place was empty and awaiting a dinner crowd . Looking over the specials my wife and I had chosen the fish and and baskets. It arrived in less than five minutes! Three nice sized cod pieces along with nicely cooked fries and coleslaw. We no either cared for the coleslaw but ate up the fish and chips which were nicely fried . Service was really great as well as the ambience. I will be back as well as tell others about this establishment .7 read more

Really good service, GREAT food. I recommend the crab cake burger, you won't be disappointed.

In a land of mediocre restaurants, you can get a very decent fish sandwich here! Good service and reasonable prices.

We love Shark Bites, the food is delicious, favorites are the shrimp tacos, clam chowder and fish n chips. The owner is personable and always makes us feel welcome. For drinks we love the Tiki Guava and Moscow mule. The beer battered onion rings are the best we have ever had. They have a play area for the little ones while there waiting for the food to arrive. Order the fries cooked lightly as they can come rather crispy. Check out the menu for yourself and discover delicious food and beverage. read more

Excellent crab cake burger and fantastic fries! I would highly recommend this seafood restaurant!

Went here for lunch recently and the quality in the food surprised me. This isn't the cheap cookie cutter food you find in most places. This is definitely a step up. Everything was prepared very well. I ordered nachos for the table and I just got chicken strips for myself expecting the standard breaded chicken breast. Not at all. The cook sliced the chicken breast super thin and lightly breaded them. Some of the best chicken strips I've ever had. You can tell when someone takes pride in their craft. I suspect the cook was an owner because everything looked and tasted well above average. The waterfront side of the restaurant shares the entrance with Waxers which seemed to be a water sports/surf shop. They must be same owners because the store and restraints share the space with restrooms in the middle. Great place to eat quality food. More expensive than your general cafe but very much worth it for the food that is clearly freshly made to order. read more

The food was very good. A little bit different ordering before seating, I felt that was a little rushed like you would get at a franchise restaurant but I get it. Overall would recommend and will be back. read more

Stopped in here while traveling through OR. We ordered the clam chowder, grilled halibut fish tacos and the calamari. The calamari was huge, tender and delicious! The tacos were delicious as well and just enough spice. everyone was friendly and the place was clean. My only complaint is that their clam chowder was watery, however it still had great flavor! we would go back! read more

We visited at lunch time on a Monday in mid-February and the place wasn't very busy. We enjoyed prompt service and items arrived quickly. I had the crab cake basket and they were tasty if a tad bit small. Wife had fish tacos and she enjoyed them. Excellent bar selection, too, including some local beers. Certainly worth a visit. read more

We ate here two nights in a row! The first night I had shrimp tacos and my husband had the halibut tacos they were phenomenal. The food was so good we went back the second night I had grilled shrimp in garlic butter and clam chowder and my husband had the halibut sandwich with onion rings again another amazing meal. My husband is picky about his onion rings and he said these were the best onion rings he has had in a long time. The people working there both nights were also very kind and helpful. read more

Enjoyed a really delicious lunch here with a shrimp melt and clam chowder. I also had some fish and chips. All excellent, fresh and a good sized portion.

Food was very mediocre. Cod was super mushy. Clam chowder should be called clam flavored soup and it was runny like water. Our fish and chips came the same time as our soup. To top it off we were given a regular plastic spoon to slurp it up with. Won't be back 60 bucks for two. No shark would bite on that bait!! read more

Great service and great food. The kids had the baby shrimp and cheeseburger with carrot sticks. They loved them. Husband and I had fish and chips and they were amazing. read more

I had a lovely lunch here with my daughter. She had the halibut burger, which she devoured and I had the pink shrimp melt (also delicious). Everything was hot and fresh, the mango smoothie my girl had was so fresh and extremely tasty as well. We'll have to bring the rest of the family back soon. We loved the bright and airy seating area and being able to order and then be seated to wait for our food. Really, very impressed with the quality and service. Can't wait to try more menu items! read more
