Shrimp Po Boy

Fresh fish, nicely battered, cooked perfectly. An order at the counter and they bring the food to you type of restaurant. Funky little place on the highway. Super casual. 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

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. They only had a couple booths, but they were clean and there was not a lot of people inside. 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. We sat down, filled our drink cups at the self serve fountain, and used their incredibly clean restroom. 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.

Fish and chips

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. Clean bathroom and very chill atmosphere. 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.

Fried shrimp and chips, and a cup of clam chowder!
shayan j.

The best fried shrimp I've ever tasted! Everything was fried fresh to order and absolutely delicious. Really nice folks running the place too. This small local joint is truly a hidden gem!

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

It was too greasy and overpriced for what we got. The person working did not seem to like his job very well. Tables were not well cleaned.

During our trip to the coast, my boyfriend had planned to make a pitstop here to get some fish n'…read morechips (what they were known for based on reviews) and it did not disappoint! We got their chicken t'sami and their lingcod fish n' chips, which went well with their sweet tea that we ordered. My boyfriend got the huckleberry sweet tea which had a sour and sweetness to it, and I got a regular sweet tea which had this really floral fragrance to it and the sweetness was just right. The fish n' chips were really good, the batter around the fish was golden and crispy, the fish was flaky and soft. So good that my boyfriend ate it while it was piping hot! The fries were perfect and crispy. The owner was so nice and brought out an aioli that tasted so good with the fries (reminded me of the animal sauce from In N' Out). The chicken t'sami was also really good, the chicken was juicy and crispy, and paired well with the pickles and slaw. The ciabatta bread was soft and everything felt so fresh. I would totally get the t'sami again. My boyfriend decided to order their clam chowder as well since that's what everyone else was raving about as well. The clam chowder did not disappoint. It was homey and perfect! We were so full and happy with our visit! They have come a long way, and we will definitely visit again

I loved the chicken and waffle for late breakfast. The chicken was a huge half breast size over a freshly baked waffle with bacon butter. All fresh and perfectly cooked. Did you know they serve Left Coast Coffee? Yep. Best ever. Stop by - this place is going to be very popular. Plenty of parking and easy access.

I wasn't even planning to write a review, but I was delightfully surprised by my meal at The Horn…read morePublic House in Depoe Bay. I had the black bean quinoa burger and swapped the aioli for their vegan pesto -- absolutely delicious. Paired it with sweet potato fries and a hot tea, and the whole meal was just $21, which felt like a great deal. The waitress was really sweet and attentive, the atmosphere was cute and friendly, and I even had a beautiful view of the ocean and the bay while I ate. If you're a vegan who's okay with the smell of seafood being prepared around you, I'd definitely recommend stopping in. They don't have a ton of vegan options (I noticed a vegan pizza, the burger, and a salad), but honestly I'd come back just for that burger.

The menu stated they had been deemed the #1 chowder in the area, but I was chowdered out so I went with the southern fried chicken sandwhich which was topped with slaw, pickles and a sauce with fries on the side. When it arrived it was not as expected as it had the same batter as cod would for traditional fish n chips - not what i think of when i hear southern friend chicken, but when in rome. It was okay in itself but had entirely too much sauce. I included a Pic of the aftermath, and I promise you that is only what fell from it naturally, I didn't scrap or shake any of it off. But the chicken itself was hearty and cooked perfectly. The toasted bun was soft and paired nicely with it. The fries were okay. We opted for dessert to go, a marionberry crisp. This was very good and I recommend it.

Table Service ~ ***** Cliff side view ~ *****…read more The best waitress service we have experienced in a long time! She made the entire dining experience awesome! The menu was good ~ Food was fresh and clean tasting. A bit pricey but for the whale watching view it is worth it. Over the top wine list and a couple local beer brews. Don't waste time trying to park restaurants side and cause a jam; street park and walk a little bit. Busy during peak season so reservations are recommended.

May 2026 Depoe Bay, Oregon…read more Wow! Come here for the views. Absolutely gorgeous. Try and get a window seat. However any seat in the house will be beautiful. I ordered the seafood Diablo pasta. It had so much seafood from the crab, clams, shrimp, and fish. I had seven or eight clams and they give you a dish to put them in after the clam is removed. I was slightly dismayed in that only three of my clam shells had clams. The rest were in the shell and they were empty. The flavor was slightly spicy, and there was so much food. I had plenty of leftovers. My husband had the herb crusted, lingcod. He had mashed potatoes and brussels sprouts in the dish. The food was divine. The fish was tender. And the entire meal was delicious. For dessert, I had the strawberry rhubarb cobbler. It came with a ginormous scoop of ice cream. The cobbler was served warm and it was so much food. We were so pleased with this restaurant. The views were incredible, the food was delicious. Our only complaint is that the hostess had no personality. She ignored us when we came in, dropped us off at our table with the menus and said nothing, then when we left, we said goodbye and she said yup. I think she needs an attitude check from management. Other than our negative encounter with her, this dining experience was darn near perfect. I will give this restaurant 4.9 stars. The small amount was removed because of the hostess.
