Five stars for the chowder and Oregon coast beer! 3 stars for the burger, which was fine but slightly bland. For any picky burger eaters/kids, it’s the best burger as it’s all very simple, but 3 stars equals satisfied for me.
Anyways, caught this place during a quiet lunch workday. Ordered the Angus Burger and it came with a side of Chowder and I added an IPA = $22 before tip.
If you’ve never been, there’s limited seating (maybe 10 assorted tables from high to low chairs). Walk in, grab a menu, walk up to the window to order with your name. Find a table and wait for them to call out your order. Bus your own table. Music selection was set to a wonderful radio station playing a sort of country blues, the Impressions, buddy guy and bobby rush.
There are lots of little restaurants in the area but I would still come back to this one for the chowder! No fryer here though, so if you want fried fish or french fries, then try another option on the strip. Oh, and call ahead if you want to confirm what’s available, they were out of Oysters the day I came.

This is a very well known spot in Bandon for a reason! We stayed there for 3 days and went to Tony’s every day. They have a beautiful spot by the harbor and have an easy going vibe. Plus great food of course!

We came in 15 minutes from closing time on Valentines Day when they had been extremely busy all day. They very gracious and welcoming. The food was delicious and super fresh. We enjoyed a dozen Orleans oysters, crab sandwich, and grilled rockfish sandwich. All delicious! Thank you for saving our Valentines Day dinner after a long drive from San Fran back to the Willamette valley. Thank you! Can’t wait to return.

Oh. My. Gosh. INCREDIBLE food and experience!!! This place is a charming little stop right on the boardwalk, with a little bit of indoor seating and plenty of outdoor seats. We split the Famous Crab Sandwich and a cup of chowder, and we were incredibly impressed. Delicious fresh crab with good portion size, piping hot chowder, and yummy garlic bread on the side. The meal was perfect, the staff were friendly and sweet, the seats were clean, and the location is very romantic for a stroll after lunch.
Prices are definitely steep, but we got the cheapest crab on the menu and it fed my husband and I both. Whether you want a spendy yummy crab or a more budget-friendly option, this place is perfect!

Great place to get fresh seafood. The original crab meat sandwich is a must. The flavor is excellent and very fresh. The fish tacos were also tasty. Despite its expected high price, the portions are extremely generous and the service is fast.

We ordered seafood combo with 1/2 crab, 1/2 lb steamer clams and 4 pawn, cost $53 and didn’t get the satisfaction we expected. Crab was fresh though small; clams were soaked in butter with very little meat, pawns were small, too. The only thing great about was the freshness. We were not too impressed by the price/value of the meal. Staff were friendly, kind of self service, seating was limited and the line was long between 12 – 1.

Tony’s crab shack is a seafood lovers dream! I ended up with the crab cakes, lobster roll and some clam chowder and garlic Ciabatta bread. I’ll start of by saying the clam chowder was my favorite portion of the meal. Probably my favorite clam chowder I’ve had on the Oregon coast! In second; the Crab cakes. The texture was perfect (they don’t deep fry), and they were massive, one would have been enough for sure! My least favorite was the lobster roll, it was good, the flavor was good, but they texture was way too chewy. I understand they’re “Maine” lobsters but it’s still possible to not overcook. $69 for two meals and 3 drinks. Don’t let the long line fool you! They are super quick! I waited in line longer than I waited for my food. You be the judge!!

Food was absolutely delicious but was a small fortune!! Paid $30 for a shrimp crab sandwich with cup of chowder. For a sandwich lunch meal outside at a picnic table – we paid nice dinner date prices! Love the location however, right on the ocean – the view was beautiful!

We ordered the crab sandwich…It was loaded with fresh crab and served on the best garlic toast. So
worth the cost! Paired with a cup of their creamy clam chowder, it was the best lunch I’ve had on the entire Oregon coast. Staff was friendly and offered suggestions for other places to visit while in town. Great food!

This place offers amazing, high-quality seafood! We were incredibly full after a delicious meal including a whole crab, a dozen broiled oysters, a crab sandwich, and a shrimp salad. The owner’s passion for crabs truly shines through, even introducing us to his 7-year-old crab. A must-visit for seafood lovers!
