    Chicken Tenders that were actually three huge breasts, and enough fries for two people
    Steven B.

    Service was great. Food was good. The portions were crazy big. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place was clean and orderly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The chicken tenders had three large breasts. It could easily feed two. I'd recommend them.

    Shrimp Po Boy

    Fresh fish, nicely battered, cooked perfectly. An order at the counter and they bring the food to you type of restaurant. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Funky little place on the highway. Super casual.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We had the halibut fish and chips and the shrimp po boy, both were excellent. Great spicy red sauce on the side for the po boy. And the have ice cream! Service was subtle, all good. Definitely worth a stop if you're traveling on the coast.

    Chicken Strips and fries
    Jo A.

    First off, their staff is incredibly friendly and kind! You felt welcomed as soon as you came in, with friendly small talk and a smile. We honestly walked in looking for ice cream, when the smells hit us we decided to sit down for lunch. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They only had a couple booths, but they were clean and there was not a lot of people inside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]As a person who doesn't like fish, I was so so happy that there was no fishy smells despite having it on their menu.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]We sat down, filled our drink cups at the self serve fountain, and used their incredibly clean restroom.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We quickly got our food and we're in awe of the size of the chicken tenders! We honestly could have shared a meal. They were hot and fresh, with just the right amount of breading and great fries. They also had a sauce they gave us, I don't remember what they called it but if you're from Utah, it was definitely fry sauce! Win-win for me.

    Any time I'm in depot bay I try and stop here. Solid fish and chips and the potato tornado makes my bussy wet. Yum!

    Great service! The fish and chips were the best I've had on the coast! & The restaurant also sells ice cream, which is also a plus!

    Best Chowder on the coast!! So many clam chowders on the coast honestly taste the same -bland. Everything from the chowder to the dipping sauces were seasoned perfectly! Food was priced very well. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Clean bathroom and very chill atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service was also great! 10/10 recommend!!

    After I got done with a whale watching tour, I was walking around looking for a place to get food and came across The Sticks. It looked super welcoming with an open door, nice decor and a friendly dude up front. We went with the shrimp po boy and the fish and chips. I wasn't expecting the portions to be that big but can't complain. The po boy was everything I hoped for and brought me back to my time in NOLA. Full of flavor and a nice crunch; the sauce in the side was absolutely amazing and had a great amount of heat. Fries crispy, warm and soft. The fish was breaded absolutely perfect and oh so flaky. Just writing this post makes me want to go back and order something else.

    A cup of Chowder vs a Bowl of Chowder!
    George H.

    While eating at The Sticks Restaurant, we did not have a good experience there. It started when we were asked to leave a gratuity when we ordered. I did not particularly appreciate going a compensation when we hadn't even been seated or given a "Glass" of water. Moments later, we were told by the cashier that if we wanted water, we could get it from the soda machine in the cardboard cups next to it. So, we served ourselves. We both ordered Chowder, one cup, and one bowl. As you can see in the attached photo, they came in cardboard cups. The larger one is their bowl. I asked the waitress, are you serious? That's not more than an ounce or two more than the cup! A little later, our meals were delivered in cardboard to-go containers. I commented on them; how did they know that we might need a container to go ahead of time? I knew then that this was not my expatriation of going to a restaurant and not a take-out place. We were never asked if we would like to dine in or get take-out. Eating in, I fully expected to have standard plates, silverware, etc. Unfortunately, the fish-n-chips were overcooked in well-used oil. As you can see in the photos, the Fish and the Frys were dark, not light, and fluffy, as expected. We attempted to eat the food, but both of us could not finish it as the flavor was not good either. The owner came out to see how everything was when she saw that we had stopped eating. She was also the cook, as it turned out. I, with respect, told her that we were not pleased with the food, the take-out containers and forks/knives, glasses of water, and the greatly under-sized bowl of Chowder. She was sorry to hear all this and offered me an ice cream cone to please me. She did later offer not to charge me for the meals, but I told her thanks, but I came in here intending to pay for my dinner, and I will. We explained that we had expected to be served with regular restaurant plating and silverware. At the Cash-register, we should have been informed that this would be served as a Take-Out! When we arrived in Depot Bay, we parked; we walked down the street to The Spick Restaurant, passing several other restaurants; a couple had signs that their food was Take-Out. I am leaving a slightly higher review than I should have because she did attempt to please me and make it right. As a fell business owner, I would like to see her maybe reevaluate how she is doing business without adequately informing their customers up front that there will be no service and it will be served as Take-Out. With a garbage can next to our table, we also bused our dirty containers as we left.

    Way too greasy. Very generous portions. Delicious house-made sauces. One entree is enough for two adults.

The clam chower bowl was good...my oyster basket was poor at best. The oysters had been cut on half length wise and covered in flavorless bread crumbs. The frys were not many.

We had a pink shrimp melt that came on an English muffin with a side of clam chowder and a bowl of clam chowder and an order of onion rings. We both thought the clam chowder was really good and full of clams. The shrimp melt was packed with shrimp and very rich. Any onion rings were exceedingly crisp and excellent. The service was great and we recommend eating here.

Went to celebrate a friends birthday and we had a great experience. Service was good and the food was excellent. View is outstanding. We had clams for an appetizer.

Sadly, today will be our last visit! We began the day very much looking forward to celebrating my mom with a drive (from Salem) to Depoe Bay to dine at Tidal Raves. The experience was tainted from the moment we entered the restaurant. The service and the staff's careless attitude are certainly not welcoming! Starting with the first face you see upon entering, the young man is rude and arrogant, giving off a very negative, devil-may-care, "unhappy to be here" vibe. He was especially obnoxious and rude to my 89-year-old mother, whose birthday we were sharing today. He behaved this way with every patron! There is one server who is always pleasant and attentive (the man with tattoos); unfortunately, he was not our server today. A large brunette woman, who was abrupt and offered no appropriate response to our questions or comments, was our server. Out of the 4 of us, 3 ordered a cup of salmon chowder along with full entrees; for some reason, she delivered 2 cups and 1 bowl, never returning to check in. A young man delivered our food without a word. The food was fine- nothing special, but the heavy sauces and potatoes served with the steak overwhelmed the other tastes. Our experience was marred by the lacklustre staff, which created an unpleasant overall ambience. We were not the only patrons who felt ignored; many around us had the same experience. There are now, more than ever, terrific restaurants on the Oregon Coast where we would be welcome to spend our $ 150+ on a meal. I would have left our server the minimum tip, but my mother insisted on leaving a far too generous gratuity of $26 for the most basic of service. Very sad to see one of our tried and true restaurants going the way of so many: downhill. The only redeeming quality today is, of course, the ocean view.
