Fishing Rock Eatery Lounge - Depoe Bay

For the first time there, super friendly, great atmosphere. Pizza brilliant and her chowder to die. The next week was ordered and was just as good. They took so much care to ensure that we had everything from napkins, utensils, packed with care. Will go back.

Chose this place at the recommendation of a lady on a walk, and I'm glad we did. We got great, friendly service on a quiet off-season lunch hour and the food was delicious! We had the fish and chips (only available on Friday, we're told), buffalo chicken pizza, and the cheesecake. Each was well made, served hot, made in house, and very tasty. Has a nice cocktail too! I'm going to be thinking about that cheesecake for a long time... Other features: Easy to find, good amount of parking, new and shiny clean place.

We loved the food, service and atmosphere of Brixxton 's and have been anxiously waiting for them reopen. We were excited to return a few weeks ago, but were quickly disappointed. While the remodel looks great, the food wasn 't quite up to the standards that we had enjoyed in the past. I had the shrimp po boy, and gone are the Cajun seasonings they previously featured in many of the dishes. While certainly not bad, it was just basic grilled shrimp on a bun, more akin to something I could have made myself. The shrimp pasta was similar, just the unseasoned grilled shrimp on spaghetti with butter. The pretzel bread sticks were good, albeit a little overpriced at $9 for two. Drinks however, were great (two well made, reasonably priced Moscow Mules). I chalked this all up to being open for just a few weeks, but it does seem the focus is much more on the bar and less on the restaurant than it used to be. It would have all been tolerable, but adding insult to injury, we were charged $7 each for the three cupcakes we ordered for dessert for the family! The server didn 't offer a dessert menu or mention the prices before we ordered. When we questioned the bill, she just said Oh yeah, sorry, they are pretty expensive . I 've never had a cupcake worth $7, and while good, these were no exception. Unfortunately unknowingly spending $21 for three cupcakes really soured the night for us. We 'll give it another try after a few more months, hoping they get the kinks ironed out by then.

I 'm trying to be charitable here since it was opening weekend across a 3-day weekend and the waitress was obviously being trained, so I won 't mention the service. I ordered the spaghetti and meatballs, and was completely disappointed. The meatballs were dry and unseasoned, and the house-made sauce had no real seasoning and tasted like it came from a can. The garlic bread was a piece of bread with a large slice of cheese melted across it that had not been toasted and had no discernible garlic flavor. The spaghetti noodles were cooked OK, and that 's the best I can say about the dish. My wife had the half-chicken meal, which did have a great sauce on the chicken but the skin was tough. The carrots were dripping with oil that tasted slightly burned. The baked potato was huge, with no butter, a small dollop of sour cream and a few sprinkles of chives.

We shared multiple dishes including the wood-fired pizza, tomato soup, house salad and steamer clams. Everything was wonderful! The new look of the bar and restaurant is so inviting and open. We?ll definitely be back!!
