    Really good shrimp, fish and oyster tacos! Would definitely recommend this place if you're ever in the area.

    Great spot in Bay Center! The shrimp tacos were fantastic, as was the service. Our whole family enjoyed the meal.

    Never would gave guessed.....but this place has some pretty awesome food…read more. House made clam chowder was one of the best I have had in a very long time...very harty, potato version and really very good. I should have taken some pics, but didn't think of it at the time. But this is a very rustic, comfy, spacious diner with a bar and a menu with ample entries and decent prices. Also, very friendly and accommodating

    This place is now called Skylar's and under new management…read more We went in, apparently on their first "official" day. There is lots of promise in this new fledgling restaurant. With some improvements, I hope to be able to give a 5 star rating. First the good: the building is nicely finished and clean! If I remember correctly, the original was a bit divey and dumpy. This was clean, shiny and bright! Small, the capacity is (I think the sign said) 65 people. So it's not big, but it's laid out nice, and clean! We were greeted quickly by a kind waiter who informed us it was his first day. He did good for a first day. The menu is small, & heavy on the oysters, which isn't surprising for the area. Unfortunately, I am not an oyster fan. But, there were plenty of other things to order. Luckily, we didn't feel like eating fish and chips, because they had run out. So I am assuming their fish and chips must be good for that to have happened. I went with the three tacos, having to choose three shrimp tacos cause they were out of fish as stated above and the other choice were oysters. lol! No problem. I like shrimp. My husband got the shrimp po'boy and fries. Here's where some corrective criticism comes in. The wait time for food was far too long. We sat for about little over 30 minutes before we got our food. Granted, they were apologetic and knew it was too long. I'm not sure what the problem was, but they did make good on it by taking 15% off our bill. They didn't need to do that, but we did appreciate it. I get it....they're new and figuring it out. I have no doubt whatever the issue was, it'll be improved upon. We appreciated the fact that the waiter and the other gal working (I am assuming the owner?) kept checking in and apologizing. As far as the food: we ordered a bowl of chips and salsa to start. Nothing outstanding about them, except we were so hungry we snarfed them down pronto. The salsa tasted like it was out of a jar, not bad but not fresh homemade. (If I'm wrong I do apologize.) My husband said the shrimp po'boy was tasty. He just wished it was a bit bigger. It came on a smallish roll, cut in half with some steak fries. It did look like a small portion for a big fellow, and he left feeling a bit hungry. My tacos were ok. They came with fried, crispy shrimp layered with some slaw in corn tortillas. They were tasty, but, the slaw was overpowering the taste of the shrimp. I wished it had been the other way around. The slaw was very sweet. Not bad, but I felt like it was more a sweet slaw taco instead of a shrimp taco. This review isn't going to stop us from going again. I'd like to try their fish and chips and their burger. And we really want this little place to be successful cause it's been far too long without any restaurants in our tiny little communities. (Nemah and Bay Center) So, I hope to be able to change this star rating to a 5 very soon!

    Stopped in for some chower on the way home today and 6 grilled oysters! We all had some Clam…read moreChowder to warm us up! Everything was super good here. We even got a spot to park truck and camper near front. Mom and pop kinda place all from scratch.

    I saw the pictures and the reviews. When pulled up I saw and smelled the wood smoking. I didn't see…read moreany oysters smoking or being grilled. I just assumed it was done to order and got doubly excited for some smoky grilled oysters I was fixin' to have. I got inside and placed my order and waited for them to hit the table. During that time I didn't see any oysters come from the building and go to the grill. When my oysters came to the table, Manuel came from the kitchen where he and a lady had spent most the time while I was there. The oysters looked exactly how the pictures looked and were piping hot. I waved my hand over the oysters towards my nose......no smoke smell. I leaned away, very surprised on why I couldn't smell smokiness. I picked up my fork and bit into an oyster. I tasted no char or smoke of any kind. My oyster had been broiled. So, I had to call Manuel and ask how the oysters were prepare. He told me that the oysters take 18 mins. to prepare and sometimes the wait when there is a lot of people, causes a long wait time. I was the only person in the restaurant, until I got up to pay. He implied that sometimes to avoid a wait, another preparation style is used with the grill in the "back" and this was the technique that was used to make my order. I only observed smoke and wood smell from the front grill that was closest to the front door of the restaurant. Also, he said that oysters are prepared one of three ways....pan fried, fried, or grilled. My oysters weren't prepared any of the three ways he mentioned. All this said to me while it sounded like he was gathering his thoughts and mumbling his words. I must've come on a bad day, Manuel did mention how business had been bad for him.

    It's too bad this place only had 1 review and it was 1 star. I came here while camping and they…read morewere about to close. I didn't get a chance to take photos as I was in a rush. They had a dozen oysters for $5.50! I don't know if that price can be beat. 5 dozen for $25. They also had oysters already shelled in plastic tubs and ready to go and I think a quart was $25. They sell corn meal fry mix too! So you can fry your own. I wasn't sure how to make them yet so I passed (this time). They also sold Smoked Oysters which I bought but they actually came from Ekone Oysters down the road. I don't have any point of reference to compare them to but I thought they were good. They might only be a 3 star place but I'm giving them 4 because I have never bought a dozen oysters for $5.50. We BBQ'd the oysters and a few of them didn't open. Not sure if that is normal or if our BBQ wasn't hot enough. Or maybe that's why they are $5.50. But next time I will buy the ones already shelled.

    These people treated us like royalty, although they were trying to close, but invited us in after…read morehours anyway. This place is a real gem, they sell seafood to all the people that live in this lovely little seaside (bay side) village, so the prices are super-low, not tourist prices. I bring my grandson (and others) on these trips, and the treatment we received was stellar, and that goes a long ways for me as I am trying to instill the same values in him that I observed from the wonderful, caring lady that waited on us. On each of our outings I try to drive home at least one message, and this was it: Treat others as we were treated at Seasonal Seafoods in Bay Center. Sure, they have the best prices in Southwest Washington, and we will drive the couple miles off the highway to buy everything we can. And we rearrange our schedule to get there when they are open. While the world seems so troubled, we can escape for a few days to Willapa Bay, buy entirely too much stuff from Seasonal Seafoods, and share it with our friends. This is a high quality merchant that deserves our support, buy from them often, and buy enough to give to your friends. Buy Local, and support hard working farmers and economies in these rural areas. And when you come here, you will have a story to tell, and that's what makes you interesting, your stories. And please write a review for them, but remember, it is not about how Starbucks made a smiley face in your espresso and sold you a $30 coffee cup, but rather how these people work hard every day to bring us the highest quality food and truly care about what they do, and their customers as well. May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face; the rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of His hand.
