Reviews for SharkBite's Seafood Cafe in Coos Bay, OR
This place has a fun atmosphere and great food! The fish and chips melt in your mouth and their spicy cod tacos were full of... flavor. The water was infused with lemon, lime, and orange which really hit the spot. Read more
We were staying in Coos Bay for the night at a motel just a couple blocks away. This was a location recommended by the brochure... in the lobby. We were seeking brewery type food with options for my gluten free mother and this place seemed like the perfectfit! The prices online were affordable, the menu seemed to offer enough we could both be satisfied. We had to park on the mainhwy 101, the place did not offer private parking. The line was out the door which is normally a good thing! But after selfnavigating I found there were two menus/lines being offered at the front, one gluten free the other regular which is wonderfulif I would have known before waiting! The menu was limited, most items were spicy / tacos anyone seeking not spicy were almostout of luck. I ordered the halibut burger, my mom ordered the nachos. We were seated at the bar due to how busy it was and noseats being available. We didn't order beverages so it was kind of awkward and cramped. The space is very small for how busy itis. The staff however were very accommodating and friendly. Once the food arrived all the ingredients were fresh and wellprepared! We devoured our dishes with a good amount of leftover nachos! I recommend this place due to quality of food. If youare willing to navigate, problem solve and try new things this place is for you! If you need to be seated and given directionswith a menu with lots of options + parking... maybe not! Read more
Absolutely wonderful. Left BEYOND full! My husband got the mexi fish tacos and I got the halibut sandwich, and also some fried... oysters. It was all so good. Thank you Shark Bites for such an incredible meal! Read more
Great seafood spot. You order first and choose a table, they bring your food to you. Great drinks, I recome lavander lemonade... and margaritas. Big portions for a reasonable price. Loved their stickers for sale, for kids n grown-ups too. I recommend thebatter fish tacos. Really good, not like the original baja taco of Ensenada baja California Mexico but... Really good.

If you want fresh seafood I would not recommend this establishment. We ordered a bowl of clam chowder which didn't have a lot of... flavor and a small amount of chopped up clams, a platter with basically everything on it only we did not receive everything, wewere missing the calamari. When we asked about it the gentlemen running the front first told us the long strip was the calamarithen went back on what he said saying it was the cod. On top of that you could tell that the fish was previously frozen based onthe rubbery texture. All you can taste is the batter and pepper. Really disappointing driving to the beach to get some seafoodright by the sea and paying 50ish for frozen packaging I could drive 5 minutes to the store for. Read more
Nice atmosphere. Staff was very attentive and very nice. The food was good and plentiful for the price.
Nice spot. I did not like the idea of having to order before sitting down as I wanted a drink first. They did allow me to sit... and have a long Island before I ordered. We had shrimp cocktail, chowder, garlic bread,basket of halibut and basket of chickenstrips. My 19 year old kid isn't picky and starving and hated the chicken strips. He said they were sogging and nasty. My girlsaid bread was burnt and gross. We loved the shrimp, halibut and chowder. Bartender, waiter and bus boy did a great job. We hada little mix up with Bill but got it straightened out. I would stop by again if we ever made through again. Read more
To begin with, we walked in from the Eastside thru the surf shop. Cute little store for a multitude of water wear and clothing.... I didn't realize we were coming in the back entrance. The ordering for food was done in a way I have never done. You look at amenu on a table then go up to the counter and place your order. After that, you are able to pick your table in another room.Different! I'm not sure how I felt about that. It seemed odd. We waited for our drinks and food. It wasn't busy at all so Iwasn't sure why it took 10 minutes to get our drinks. I figured something must have happened at first but then I started towonder if we had been forgotten about. We were the only 2 people seated at the time. I didn't feel like we were a priority. Aspeople came in to be seated, I started thinking I was glad we got there when we did. The food finally cames 32 minutes fromordering. That's quite a while. I was glad I had good company. The food itself is alright. Nothing to boast about. I'd say aboutaverage. The drinks were about average as well. I think I'd say the espresso dessert was the best item on the list of what wehad. Not sure if we'll be back. Feeling kind of mixed about the experience.
