Tony's Crab Shack: Reviews & Ratings
Food was fresh and delicious! Service was fine a bit dry. The vibe was relaxed and very casual.
When you are in town visiting, you have to stop by Tony's Crab Shack. My daughter saw a TikTok about Walter the crab and that's basically how we ended up coming to Bandon. This place was slammed from the second it opened until closing time. We chose to stop by at 6:30 so she could ask to meet Walter. Not only did she get to meet him she also learned quite a few new facts about crabs. The dinner was wonderful ( sorry Walter.... We all still had crab ) service was fast! I couldn't believe it. This is the perfect family spot on your vacation! Make sure you go next door and buy a souvenir Walter at the gift shop and photograph him on your travels for their Facebook page. Thank you for making my daughter so happy. It was lovely to meet you Walter
Best clam chowder I have ever had. We also received excellent customer service. We enjoyed our food and conversations with the staff.
After a long walk on the beach we were craving seafood & spotted Tony's. While we waited for our food the staff came by and few times to check on us, make small talk & cracked some jokes. They were really friendly & seemed to enjoy connecting with guests which was fun to watch. I wanted to try the lobster roll but sadly they were sold out, so instead I tried the Bandon's famous crab sandwich & some chowder. The sandwich was light and fresh, not heavy or greasy. The crab was the star of the show, nestled on a bed of crisp greens and perfectly toasted sourdough...ugh SO good! The tasty chowder really hit the spot after being out in the cold. Will definitely be back!
Since we were on the Oregon Coast, we really wanted seafood with a view of the ocean. This fit the bill. It's just across the parking lot from the water. The inside is small, maybe 6 tables. There is four times as much seating outside, but it was full when we arrived which was fine because we just got it to go and took it over to one of the benches by the water. You do order at the counter, there will be a line, it does close at 7:00 pm and they will run out of items like crab as it gets close to 7:00 pm. We had the crab sandwich, the crab cocktail, and a couple of beers. It seemed pretty pricey for an order at the counter, and you get it with a bag of chips or a little container of Coleslaw. However, the sandwich and the cocktail were both very good. The sandwich was served on two slices of butter toasted bread with leaf lettuce, just a dollop of sauce and lots of delicious crab. Seriously a delicious sandwich. The crab cocktail was loose crabmeat with a little bit of cocktail sauce. Again, the crabmeat was utterly delicious. It was definitely worth trying. I'm not sure how often I would go as it doesn't seem like a very good value, but if you want to treat yourself, this is a great option.
The waterfront restaurant. The staff was friendly and efficient. Inside seating was limited, plenty outside seating. They had a great oldies station playing on the radio. Food was prepared and delivered quickly. The seafood combo was amazing, it was cooked to perfection. Fish tacos and crab cakes were scrumptious. There home made TNT sauce was delicious.
Solid seafood with a solid outdoor view. What more can you ask for a road side crab shack! FOOD We ordered 18 oysters and a crab and shrimp combo cocktail. The oyster itself was pretty decent. It tasted average but they were huge and creamy. It was so creamy, we had to buy some garlic bread to go along with it. Definitely not recommend buying 1.5 dozen, we just thought it was small ones. The crab and shrimp cocktails were okay. The shrimp were tiny and it seems like frozen shrimps you get from Costco. SERVICE Service is pretty decent. You will need to wait a while to order because the line is out the door, but it would take a few mins for they get your order to you.
Waterfront dining done right! No frills, amazing food and friendly service:) Not too many seats inside, but plenty of seating outdoors The crab sandwich changed my mind on a lobster roll. Much better texture of meat
