    New owners since May 2025. Delicious, homemade food. No longer a Japanese restaurant and reservations not required!

    The Salty Dawg Highway 101 - Burger and side salad

    We were a little leery as two women walking into this place, but once we passed thru the door, we…read morewere kindly greeted. Cool little place. Kind of a hip dive bar meets delicious food with a sprinkle of old timers ready to share a story or two with you while you wait. We got burgers, cuz duh... Look at these things!! I got mine with a side salad instead of fries and my friend got the fries. All of it was delicious. There was zero chance either of us were able to finish these monsters so the rest came home with us. The side salad was amazing! Fries were delicious. And the burgers did not disappoint. The guy at the counter was super friendly and everyone in the establishment gave off a friendly vibe. Happy they were the only place open when we were driving through. We would definitely visit again.

    Cons: -Service 1/5: Ordered 2 pizzas and they told us it…read morewould be an hour and a half wait. It took a total of TWO hours and 15 minutes, and that's AFTER we went up to the counter to ask about the pizza progress. No apologies from staff once pizza came. -Food 3/5: Pizza was not bad, just not memorable. It's heavy, but I mean..it's pizza. Their ranch was prob my favorite food item & my family thought the wings were alright. -Ambiance 3/5: It's the exact vibe of what you would expect from a dive bar, but the staff obviously favors locals-only. Tourists may feel like all eyes are on them. Pros: -One of few places for late-night dinner/grub. -Allows you to experience a Port Orford locals' bar spot. -There's karaoke apparently on Saturday nights which may be fun to check out. TLDR: If you do need a late-night spot for food, do not get the pizza...NOT worth the wait. Grab some apps & beers and just enjoy the local bar vibe of Port Orford.

    Staying a night in Bandon and wanted a good dinner spot. One of the higher Yelp-rated restaurants…read morecharges a $15 split plate fee, so we said "no". Lord Bennett's was still high in the ratings and since my wife and I almost always split our entrees, we went here. We don't mind a split fee in the $4-$5 range, especially when they do it for us, and many places then give you a little more of the side (in this case fresh veggies). Not only did they not charge a split fee, they split it for us. We started with a small Caesar Salad and a bowl of Clam Chowder. Both were excellent. We paired it all with a glass of King Estate Pinot Noir, one of our favorites (we're from Eugene, so we're biased). The main entree we split was the Pasta with Applewood House-Smoked Salmon. It was in a creamy white cheddar sauce with bow-tie pasta and was phenomenal. There is one other place we went that had a similar dish in Port Angeles. Fresh salmon and house-smoked is what does it, I think. Our server was attentive, but we were not rushed. She checked in periodically and never made us feel like they wanted us to just eat and go. The restaurant is also oriented to the Pacific Ocean and almost every table has an ocean view. Highly recommend. (One two-star review from a few months ago said they were "not impressed but if it were half the price it would have been good." We disagree). We felt the prices were VERY much in line with a nice dining experience, which this was. The salmon was $33, the small Caesar was $9, the Chowder was $8 and each glass of wine was $16.

    The food was good and some flavors were really great. I loved the Asian inspired veggies and the…read morerice was completely unexpected burst of flavors. Really lovely. The oysters on the 1/2 shell were not quite salty enough for my personal liking and quite small but were a lovely clean oyster and I appreciated that the staff replaced the puny one with two robust 1/2's. I did have to ask for horseradish and Tabasco but that's personal preference again. The staff were kind and helpful but whispering which gave off a bit of a "you shouldn't have fun here" vibe. Very much like Lord Bennett might come out and give one a good scolding if you were to boisterous. The halibut cheeks were not my favorite and I wasn't a huge fan of the wasabi style sauce they put on the ahi (it was a texture thing for me). I would still recommend this restaurant HIGHLY just as a must try. The views are stunning!

    Ate at Pacific Grill twice this weekend (12/27/25 - 12/28/25). I was very pleased with both meals!…read moreI was lucky enough to have Kat as my server both times and she was wonderful! When I asked for no feta cheese on my gyro she informed me that it was also in the tzatziki (I really appreciated the heads up) and she also clarified if this was a food allergy or preference (I appreciate her concern in the case that this was an allergy to dairy). She was also quick with bringing me ketchup and hot sauce and anything else I asked for. She really made both meals excellent :) The food was just as good as the service! My Traditional Breakfast really hit the spot! Thanks again to Kat for recommending the bacon. My gyro was a little plain, because I got mine without cheese and tzatziki. BUT the chicken was super flavorful and the veggies were fresh and crispy. I added a splash of lime juice and this was perfect for me. And I must say these are some of the BEST French fries I've ever had!! I'm not sure if they're considered double fried or beer battered (?) but it is definitely worth the $3 upgrade to get them! I only wish they would just put the dang bottle of ketchup on the table instead of bringing it to you in a small metal cup (which they did at both meals). Odd policy IMO; seems like it makes more work for the servers. But that is a very small complaint for an overall very great restaurant!

    I love that there's a very limited menu, which means everything is very fresh. The service was…read moreamazing and kudos to the Chef who went the extra mile to adjust my meal to not have any garlic, which is an allergy for me. My waitress was very attentive and seemed to generally care whether I was enjoying my meal. Since I dining alone, and it is a small dining area, I was especially impressed that they gave me the window view seat that I had requested even though the table for four was being used by just one person, me. I even had a view of the fire pit which they had turned on outside, which offered additional ambience. Although the beet salad was amazingly delicious I think basically one beet (1/2 red and 1/2 yellow) for $14 was a little steep. The timing between the appetizer, salad, and main dish was perfect. Be sure to make a reservation. Enjoy!
