The food was tasty and reasonably priced for the area. Had a kids area. The decor is not too exciting. Close to all the activities in Depot Bay. read more

Counter service was friendly, and the food came out quickly. There are a few booths for dine-in, or you can take your order to go. The space is dark but open-air, letting in a nice ocean breeze. They also serve Tillamook ice cream, which is a nice touch. I ordered the chicken tender kids meal and the shrimp and potato-on-a-stick combo. Unfortunately, the food was far too greasy to enjoy. The potato was more like thick chips than the expected spiral-cut fries, and the shrimp were heavily over-battered. Overall, the meal was disappointing in terms of taste and texture. read more

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

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. read more

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. read more

Came in for ice cream before closing. The man working was incredibly kind and upfront about the shop closing within minutes. We got massive scoops of delicious tillamook ice cream. I also noticed a lot of their food had sold out throughout the day because of how popular they are. We will be back to try more of their savory items. read more

I don't know what some folks expect, but I am a very picky eater and Sticks impressed me tonight. My wife swlwcted the shrimp basket and I had the salmon po'boy. The shrimp was jumbo sized and tasty, with a nice creole and tartar sauce. The salmon was deep fried, yet very tasty, and the portion was almost too large. The amount of fries were a bit overboard. But, unlike some, I am absolutely impressed that they use paper based takeout containers instead of Styrofoam or crackle plastic ones. Paper is a renewable resource, ya know. I think this business delivers a good product and I absolutely recommend them. Also, the young lady behind the counter was very courteous to me. read more

Ok like usual, I am a service snob, not a foodie. Here service needed help. There are not enough places to sit in this establishment, but most come for the ice cream and split (see what I did there) That being said, some portions, like po boys and fish and chips, are too large! They could charge less, or two folks could eat off one entree. So service was OK. They need more tables. read more

best fries I've had in my entire life. fattest chicken strips EVER biggest bang for your buck in depoe bae honestly

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! read more

My wife and I are frequent visitors to the central coast and we're always seeking out the best places for fish and chips. We're in Depoe Bay for the holidays so we gave The Sticks a try. Everything here is self-serve, yet still the surly gal behind the counter solicits tips before even preparing the food. And if you dare offer any suggestions like maybe don't overcook the fish, you get a face full of foul mouthed insults. This person seriously has no business working anywhere near the general public. Everything is served in disposable takeout boxes - even if you are dining in the restaurant. Wow! It's like they actually go out of their way to increase their carbon footprint, while reducing their indoor dining experience to plastic forks and knives, paper and plastic cups and single-use 'dinner plates'. This alone is reason enough to steer clear of them but it gets worse - much worse. Fish and chips were ready in about 15 minutes. Fish is cut into smaller bits than most places (a 5 piece here would be a 3 piece anywhere else) accompanied by a generous portion of fries. But the good news stops there. The fish was tough and chewy with a fishy aftertaste; the beer batter was greasy and soggy. I'm talking zero crunch - even before adding the malt vinegar. I suspect both the fish and the oil were well beyond their expiration dates. The fries were barely warm, limp and soggy. The restaurant overall was dirty, with a greasy film covering everything, from the table to the floor to the bathrooms. 2-3 bites was enough for us. Both orders went straight into the dumpster and we left hungry, in search of a decent restaurant. Needless to say, we will never return and I strongly advise others to seek their fish and chips elsewhere. read more

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!! read more

The Ling & chips were so good we went back 3 more times (closed 2X) during our week on the coast. During the winter they are only open Thursday-Sunday 12-7. The beer batter is light and the flavor of the fish is fresh and delicious. The fries are good too. Bring your appetite, the servings are enough to share. We split one for lunch and we each had 3 pieces of fish and plenty of fries that we didn't finish them all. There's only a few booths, so limited seating but worth it. read more

Very good chowder! The service was top notch. Got my food to go and was offer a second set of utensils as they sensed I was sharing.

Enjoyed the fish and chips. Halibut $22 Cod $16 Shrimp $18 Fish on a Stick $7 Bowl of Chowder $8 The fish/shrimp portions and breading were ok. You get a lot of fries. They are good and so is the fry sauce... but 4 of us couldn't finish 3 orders. The smoky clam chowder was meh. No identifiable clam chunks and the paprika and or cumin was overwhelming. I'd pass on that. read more

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. read more

We are so excited we stopped here on the way to Otter Rock. A small little restaurant off the Oregon Coast Highway in Depoe Bay. We had the cod fish and chips, shrimp po boy, and a chip of the chowder. *This review is for the Shrimp Po Boy Probably the best shrimp po boy I've ever had. Perfectly fried crispy shrimp. Excellent bread with crisp crunchy exterior toast with a fluffy interior stuffed with a healthy amount of shrimp and a side of hot sauce to dip it all in. The fries were not overly battered. Everything was cooked right when we ordered and tasted fresh. It's a blessing and a curse The Sticks isn't closer to me! read more

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. read more

The food is so good that we came back the next day! Superb clam chowder with a delicious special ingredient. (Is it chorizo?) We ordered all the fish baskets, and the halibut and cod tied for first with the shrimp and salmon a close second and third. The tartar sauce was heavy on the dill (my favorite). The batter and crunch on the fish was sublime with the fish cooked to perfection. The chips were good too! The potato on a stick was a bit well done, but my husband loved it. And we can't possibly forget get to mention their fabulous, helpful, and friendly staff. There is a simple, self-serve eating area, but we preferred to take our meal to go (including Oregon-made ice cream) and dine alfresco by the ocean. read more

The Sticks - Fried shrimp and chips, and a cup of clam chowder! - Fish & Chips Near Me - Depoe Bay, Oregon

Wow! This was some of the best fries and fried seafood I've ever had. Everything was made fresh so all plates came out piping hot and crispy. Love that the seafood was beer battered rather than breadcrumb like at some places. The seafood itself was also VERY fresh. Shrimps were bouncy. Cods were flaky! Every plate also came with cocktail, tartar, and fry sauces that went amazingly with the food. The chowder was decent. Creamy and hot but there was mainly potato. A super unassuming spot with friendly staffs. Inside there are a few booth seatings. What a hidden gem! read more

Solid place to get food on the Oregon coast been coming to the coast many years and first time trying food here for $15 I got the chicken strips and fries food was good and it has some pretty big portions service was also good to definitely get what you paid for coming to this place will come back again while on the Oregon coast. read more

Pros: Incredibly accommodating for a food allergy I had. I called ahead and let them know and they were so kind when we got in. Fish was really good. pieces were smaller but there were more of them. tarter sauce was really good. French fries were amazing. Clean restroom. Con: no cole slaw. read more

The Sticks - Cod and halibut fish and chips comes with fry sauce. - Fish & Chips Near Me - Depoe Bay, Oregon

Food was very quick and was amazing highly recommend this place if you are visiting Depoe bay!

Some of the best fish and chips I've had! Super crispy and I love the smaller size. The fries are great too Would be happy to come back!

This is must try when in Depoe Bay, OR. Like any fish and chips you purchase, it's all about freshness of the fish. Rule number one, rule number two, eat asap.. don't pick it up and take it on a 5 mile hike then take it home and expect to not taste like a wet sponge. I personally love their Cod fish over the other choices, to me it has much more flavor, especially at the Oregon coast. The chips or "freedom fries" are really good here, again don't leave them sitting too long before jammin them in your grill. The price is what the market can bear, it is what it is, but this can easily be shared. I do also want to mention the clam chowder, I think it has turmeric in it? but it was actually really good, different, but a pleasant surprise. All and all, yes I would return when in Depoe Bay. I would order the fish and chips for two and two clam chowders with bread and walk across the street and watch the whales.. awww perfect day awaits you. read more

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.

This was a perfect lunch stop for our day of whale watching! We shared the shrimp po boy and a cup of clam chowder. The sauces that came with the shrimp po boy were awesome -- the bread was crispy and delicious - and the shrimp were fried to perfection! Everything was delicious! Even the fries were crispy and hot - and a nice compliment to the sandwich! Will definitely be back. read more

We had the chowder, which was fantastic & the halibut & chips. Both were perfectly prepared & tasted so fresh. The young lady who took our order & brought our food was lovely & a pleasure to speak with. One person in our party had the ice cream & said it was delish! We will return! read more

Very clean restaurant. It was a cold, rainy Monday at 3pm and the place was pretty empty which was nice. Our food came out fast and hot! Everything was great, crispiest fries I think I've ever had. I've never been a fan of tartar sauce but theirs was really good! We all got plenty of fries but I only had like 6 small pieces of cod. Not the best deal for $14. My only real complaint was that my cod was really greasy. I didn't notice my friends meals being overly greasy, just the cod. Now, I have sort of a steel gut lol so I don't often get stomach aches from fried foods. But wow...later in the night I had some insane acid reflux and stomach pains. But this place was good enough that I would still go back, I just might skip the cod next time... EDIT: Well, after spending most of the night in the bathroom, I'm concerned that maybe they're using old oil or something? I don't think it was intense enough to have been food poisoning but something did not sit right with me. It's weird to me because I've never had this bad of a reaction to greasy food so it must have been VERY greasy is all I can think. Like I said, I'll probably try them again sometime and just get chowder or something. read more

the fish & chips are excellent. I just wish they would be open a bit earlier and more days of the week. they are now open Friday through Monday. I usually have the cod it is great with the malt vinegar. The potato on a stick is too well done and slaty. it is more like potato chips. The people are very pleasant and the service was excellent. read more

I'll give 5 stars for wait as well even they told us 30 min wait. It was much quicker to get our order. Halibut fish and chips were best!!!

Stopped by The Sticks while exploring Depoe Bay for the first time and wow just amazing! We stopped by for some fish and sticks with some friends which were incredible. We got an order of the Halibut and the Cod which were both great but the Halibut was outstanding! The service was pretty fast for a busy spot. And the cherry on top was the wonderful view we got enjoy while eating! Looking forward to visiting again :) read more
