Wow!!! I'm from Brookings! First time at The Boat! Cute place! Ordered the special, halibut sandwich with Cole slaw! Fresh, hot and delicious!! Ladies serving were friendly and attentive!! I will certainly be back next time I'm in town!! read more

our waitress Layla was funny, helpful, talked us into a couple of menu selections, and down to earth. we really enjoyed her company every time she came to the table. unfortunately they relieved her just after we ordered. so we finished the disappointing food and left. the fry coating on the shrimp and fish is very light - so light that it doesn't stand up to the sauce or even normal handling. the fries were good. the clam chowder bowl bread was good. the honey mustard coleslaw was great. the clam chowder itself had some vegetables and extra herbs added but i don't think it was made in-house. despite her charm, i think layla may have fibbed when she told us that the chowder was made in-house. read more

We haven't we were here before maybe four years ago. The food is still fantastic. The service is still friendly and the price is really reasonable. It's a must go. read more

Well I'm back again and the had their Halibut Burger on special. I always get it when it is available. So good. And my ma ordered prawns, and they were prawns not shrimp so that is good. The people working here are always super nice. The food arrived quick, was hot and cooked perfect. We sat outside in the covered area, nice night, lights came on as it started getting dark. We will be back! read more

What a cute lil establishment shaped like a boat it's hard to miss. The food is on par with a coastal seafood establishment. Fast and efficient plating. Waitstaff was helpful despite a shift change, we got everything on time. My clam chowder was pretty good, the calamari was pre frozen and not my fave, but we would stop in again. read more

The Boat Fish & Chips - Calamari - Fish & Chips Near Me - Coos Bay, Oregon

We stopped in while driving up 101. The boat is located on the side of the road and has little areas to sit-some inside and some out. We grabbed a table outside and were greeted quickly. Ordered some beverages and they were brought quickly. The actual meal took a bit longer-but we overheard our waitress telling someone they were short staffed. She was friendly and a great server-so no complaints. We ordered the fish and chips-one order of Cod (3 pcs) and one of Halibut (4 pcs). We also had a cup of clam chowder. Everything we delicious. read more

My dad had come here previously and has been talking nonstop about how good the fish and chips were. We came in on a whim, midday on Saturday. They were pretty busy but they have lots of seating options and we were able to find a spot right away. As we came in one of the two waitresses said hello, told us to sit wherever and let us know the new menus were at the table under the glass. The menu was clear, straightforward and had options for half orders which I super appreciate! We both got ice teas, my dad ordered the fish and chips (cod) and I did the scallops. I forgot to take photos of the main dishes, we dug right in and then it wasn't pretty when remembered. The only down side to my dish was it was popcorn scallops, small and rubbery, but very common with those when they're deep fried. It all tasted amazing though! Fish and chips was insanely good. I hate tartar sauce I mixed theirs 50/50 with the cocktail sauce and it was so good! The place was clean, decorated on theme, lots of areas to sit, dog friendly out on the patio too! Only downside was trying to get the bill. Service up to that point was fantastic. Just took a bit longer to leave than we wanted but overall no complaints! read more

Prompt friendly service. I ordered the three piece fish with Cole slaw. Love the slaw, not full of mayonnaise, very fresh tasting. Spouse ordered the shrimp salad, full of shrimp. He said it was very good. He had ordered a shrimp salad at a pricey restaurant not long ago and it was smaller and quite a bit more in price. read more

Yuk. Dried fried chicken strips....three dinky pieces of flavorless halibut. Loud and annoying head waitress/cashier obviously been there a long time would read every customer's bill out loudly as she rang them up. Huh? Then she told a customer it would be 45 mins for their dinner. "You don't wanna wait that long do you?" The lady stood there for the longest time contemplating the remark. Then walked up to another waitress and said..."Gee, I'd sure like to have dinner". Rude. Never again. read more

Very good but the menu is mostly fried food...everyone in our group likes it! We will probably go back again... read more

Visited in afternoon on 6-18-2006. Very dissatisfied. The cod was burned and breading falling off. Fries burnt, sitting in a puddle of oil along with fish. It went in the trash. The clam chowder was very good. read more

Got here right when they opened. Very friendly waitress. The food is excellent. And very fast service! Definitely recommend the halibut and cod fish and chips! The chowder bowl was also really tasty! Even the cheese burger that my child ate. read more

If I could put half a star, I would. Horrible service, outrageous prices, and an unnerving setting. Spent the first thirty minutes waiting to be acknowledged and addressed. And another forty minutes for mediocre food. The servers were easily the worst part of the entire experience. They acted irritated that we were even there, barely acknowledged us, rolled their eyes, disappeared for long stretches of time, and responded to simple questions with nothing but attitude. Every interaction felt rude, dismissive, and completely unprofessional. It was honestly disgusting watching people in a service job treat paying customers like an inconvenience. No apology, no urgency, no basic manners, just nasty attitudes from beginning to end. I have never felt so unwelcome at a place I was spending my hard earned money. read more

This lunch was exactly what I was craving on our road trip hot cup Of chowder and fresh shrimp salad they have good ranch so that made me happy also ;) the halibut sandwich was crispy not greasy and totally fluffy . The service was great the ladies were very nice and on top of making sure we had what we needed (thank you ) the decor so Much fun , I wish we had a place like this in Eugene . We will definitely go back when we are passing through coos bay . read more

The clam chowder was pretty good but lacked seasoning flavor in it. It was just plain. It was good on a cold day but lacked depth in their recipe. Service was slow even though it wasn't super busy. Eating on the ship was the best part. Super fun atmosphere for sure. I just wish the food was a bit better read more

The food is amazing first off But The Staff is Amazing as well! I go back again and again to try more and more off their menu but I already have my favorites so it's taking longer than expected...shucky darn! read more

Let me start with this is not our first time here. We started when the boat was actually floating in Winchester Bay and it was called Unger's. They had the absolute best Calamari on the OR coast. Unger's closed, and after a while, the boat itself was moved to it's current location in Coos Bay. The Calamari continued to be outstanding and we were frequent customers during our summer visits to the OR coast. We have missed the last two years, apparently the business was sold, and this visit was disappointing. The Calamari was inconsistent in its cooking. Some were prefect and others were chewy. More importantly, the breading has lost the flavor and spice of the old days. You used to get both chips and coleslaw standard with your order. It appears price pressure has changed to a choice of one or the other. And the coleslaw loving DW found the slaw to be too sweet. The Boat has a large sign saying it is pet friendly which is wonderful. And at least three groups took advantage of it.The downer was the wait staff who not only petted each and every dog, but then let them lick their hands. Of course I am sure they rushed back and washed their hands thoroughly before serving the next food order read more

Don't waste your money, if you're really having a craving for fish go across the street and order the fish sandwich from McDonald's. Food is overpriced, and the atmosphere is subpar. I've never seen such a small piece of halibut. The best part of my meal was the coleslaw. That's not a good sign. read more

Amazing fish and chips, and the chowder bowl was delicious! Husband did not leave a bite left on his plate. Service was good and quick. Pleasantly surprised. read more

Amazing service, friendly servers, very helpful with their fish varieties and their menu, attending to customers needs properly and providing a good service and a friendly atmosphere. We ordered Pacific Cod with fries and a side of Coleslaw, no beer, just good ol' local tap water. The meal was good, plenty of fish pieces, not greasy and flavorful. I personally felt that the batter used was on the thin side. I prefer my fish with a splash of malted vinegar that literally disintegrated my fish pieces, making them too moist and not as crispy as I would have preferred. Other than that; the flavor was good and the only thing missing from a true "fishn' chips" was the newspaper. Just kidding.... The place is good for a quick relaxing lunch, driving up the Oregon coast. read more

The Boat Fish & Chips - Meal Menu - Fish & Chips Near Me - Coos Bay, Oregon

This was my first time visiting this restaurant, and I initially had higher expectations for the fish and chips. The "Captain's" platter included oysters, fish, scallops, clam strips, and fries. The dish arrived very quickly, which was surprising. However, I found the batter was not crispy, and the meat fell apart when handled. The oysters were slimy, and the fries had a wiggly texture, suggesting that the oil may not have been hot enough during frying. The staff was friendly and offered to recook the meal when I expressed my concerns, but I did not believe that would significantly improve the experience. Additionally, the scallops and clam strips appeared to be frozen rather than fresh, and I was unsure about the freshness of the fish as well. This visit took place on a Wednesday evening around 5 pm, and we were the only patrons in the establishment. The coleslaw was tasty the chowder was okay read more

Chose this spot due to being dog friendly. The yelp reviews had me a little worried but our experience was great! For the first 20-30 min we were there, there was only one guy working the floor and register. He was covering the main dining room, the side room, and the outdoor patio where we were sitting - at least 8 tables in between the three. Considering how much he was taking care of, he was doing an awesome job. Mozzarella sticks came out pretty quickly and were devoured by our ravenous crew. They were ok - just kind of generic mozz sticks. In two of the five sticks, the cheese had leaked out during the frying process, leaving a hollow shell of breadcrumbs. The rest of the food came out soon after and we dove in. Everyone was really happy with what they ordered. My son and I split two 1/2 and 1/2 platters, opting for Calamari (interesting thick pieces), popcorn shrimp (ok), scallops (pretty tasty, although fried scallops will always be inferior to sautéed in my opinion), and clam strips (the real winner with my son. I love their flavor, I just wish there had been bigger pieces or just more). My wife opted for the 3 pc Pacific Cod and chips from the Minnow menu. She said it was the perfect portion for a light lunch. My vegetarian daughter ordered the grilled cheese and we were all impressed by the cook on the sandwich - see my pic - perfect golden brown from crust to crust. I almost forgot to mention the house-made cocktail and tartar sauces. Both were really good. Cocktail could probably have more horseradish, but good for a general audience. Prices were alright, considering we're in a touristy spot. 4 meals, and appetizer, four soft drinks , and a good tip ran us ~$100. Overall, the service was great and the food pretty tasty. I would absolutely go back again. read more

What a great experience! Nice ambience sitting outside in the sunshine, protected from the breeze. Food was delicious, Pacific cod, clam chowder and shrimp basket. The cheese bread was flavorful and delicious, enough for a family to share. Cole slaw was fresh and crunchy. The best part was the top notch service from Trevor!! He brought out food for our toddler grandson right away. All the food was hot and drink refills were offered before asking. Definitely will be back! read more

Let me start by saying that the place was clean and the service was great. The people were nice and very friendly. The place had a good vibe. The 2 of us split an 8 piece order of halibut fish and chips with an order of slaw. I've never in my life seen such small pieces of fish. They were just little bite size nuggets. It was extremely over priced. The best part of the meal was the slaw. read more

My husband absolutely loves this place. I don't like fish however and haven't found anything that I have like to eat here after several trips. If you're looking for great fish and chips though my husband says they are the best! read more

The food was fantastic, the service was top notch, and the ambiance was Oregon Coast authentic! We travel in our RV six months of the year and this restaurant was one of our favorites. Our server made the dining experience out-of-this-world fun, just by being herself. The owner stopped to visit when I was outside taking pictures and was happy to share the history of the restaurant. If we lived in the area we would be regulars! read more

Over the years we've eaten "on the boat" when it was floating in Salmon Harbor in Winchester Bay when it was Ungers. This new incarnation was brilliant! "Dry Docking" it and adding covered outdoor seating around it was brilliant! AND it's dog friendly! In its Coos Bay location we've enjoyed going there many times for the best fish & Chips on the coast. But this2026 visit was disappointing. They've dropped the ball.... At least this one evening. The prices have skyrocketed just like everything everywhere, but at least it's the best fish 'n chips right? Nope. Not this time. Okay it was after 7 pm, but hell, some of my fish had soggy, oily breading and others were missing areas of breading. The fries were good. My wife had the scallops & shrimp. They were good, but I was suspicious they were breaded in a factory somewhere & came out of a package from the freezer. Okay I'm a critical, but this is an old fishing boat turned into a Fish & Chips Restaurant right near the water in Coos Bay! You can't get closer to the water! Plus they serve "seafood". If they can't get it right who can? Then when the check came, our server put some gummy worms on the check holder with the bill.... Ugh. They weren't wrapped or anything. And it's cold & flu season. Am I too critical? At least we survived Covid! Besides, it's cheap guys! If you're going to be nice and give us candy, buy the individually wrapped ones. read more

The food is OK not very hot ever the bathrooms are locked so if you're sitting down eating dinner, you have to wait for them to come and open the bathroom. I think the best part of this whole dinner is the gummy worms they give you. read more
