No going back anytime soon for food...but if you want to watch a game on tv and have a beer I think you might be happy. Â Food tasted to me like it just got off the Sysco Truck. Â Beer Patter F&C at the beach should be from scratch. Â Everything was frozen and put in the fryer, bagged salads. Â Too bad. Â PC needs another family pub.
Review Source:My husband and I try to steer clear of places that aren't locally owned (meaning owned by Californians that are trying to commercialize Pacific City.) Okay, honestly I'm not "allowed" to step foot in a place that is not locally owned or that we know is for sure owned by out-of-staters. ;) Â We enjoy the parts of Pacific City that give us that small town feel that we love so much when we stay at our Cabin. The Oar House is one of the "newer" restaurants in town and we've been there twice, now. Both times we ordered the same thing. I ordered the fish and chips and my husband ordered a burger. The food is just average. If you are on a diet, they don't have fat free dressing even though a grocery store is literally 100 yards away (my mother-in-law has been there three times and asked for it with no luck.)
The staff is friendly, but not all that knowledgable about their menu items - at least not the staff we have encountered as of yet. It's a nice looking, comfortable place on the inside. I think I remember a pool table the first time we went, but we didn't sit in sight of it this time - and there is a music player to pay to hear songs.
I'm sure we'll be back again, but it's just a mediocre place. No real complaints.
Stopped in on a recent visit to PC. Prolly won't be stopping in again anytime soon, even when I'm in the area.
Ordered the pan fried oysters for dinner. First off, considering the price they really skimped on the portions.Then, they weren't prepared well at all. The breading/coating was between mushy and slimy and falling off the oysters. It wasn't crunchy at all. At least they weren't totally fried to a crisp and rubber bands. But, I expect better seafood when I go to the coast.
The service was close to terrible. My waitress was extremely slow in taking my order eventhough it was the middle of the week and the place wasn't that busy. And she hardly ever came back to refill my iced tea.
Like I said, I prolly won't be back.
After reading the following reviews  I am wondering if we even went to the same restaurant..sadly we did. In fact it feels strange calling this place a restaurant because it is really nothing more than a dive bar. Our service was slow and rude. The waitress never even made eye contact with us when we were talking to her. The chowder was worse than canned chowder and made me laugh because the menu boasts that you will have not problem finding clams and we found about 1.5 clams. It was thin and watery. My side salad was clearly from a bag and the croutons were stale and sticky. The fries on my boyfriends fish and fries were dark and old and stale like they had been sitting out for hours. Its too bad the wait at the Brewery was over and hour but now I know why. Its probably the only legitimate place to eat in this town.
Review Source:We came here on a sunday evening so it may have better days. It took a very long time for the waitress to come and take our order and when she finally did she was short and unattentive. It took twenty minutes later to get our drinks and then another fifteen to get our food. The clam chowder was thin and lacking in clams and potatoes. The fish and chips were cod instead of halibut, and they were...fine. Everything else was below par but that wasn't the worst part. When trying to split our check she messed up over charging one of our guests an then caused the card to decline once voided. The manager apologized by saying that they were understaffed, though I'm confused as to how because there were about four very quiet tables aside from the drunken local loners. The toilet also leaked, and the only bread they could offer was Texas toast. Definitely a regrettable experience.
Review Source:ok so went to a restaurant this last weekend and our waitress didn't know what drink was rum n coke or captain so she took a sip of it from the glass (yes the edge of the glass) then my fish was cold and the waiter stuck his finger in it at my table too see if it was! what the F, really? Who does that? I think it may be against OLCC policy to do that as well as against many health codes!
Food was okay not great
I will never go to this place if they are that open with everything i wonder what happens behind closed doors...
The humor of the name didn't occur to us until raving to fellow travelers to try out the Oar House. They said, "You ate where?!" *smile*
We found the service friendly and welcoming. The food quality was generally quite good. The burger my son got was a touch dry but very good size for the price. Our Good Cod sandwiches really scrumptious. The fish (of the fish and chips plate) was very fresh-tasting, juicy and flakey with a great portion for the price. They were flexible to make a kid-sized portion even though not on the menu. It's great you can get (delicious) onion rings instead of fries for no up charge. The recommended microbrew for my mood (a malty amber Dechutes Brewery brew though I can't remember the name) served on draught was only $3 for a pint. It satisfied what I was craving. The Oar House was family friendly; even if we were ferried off to one corner of the place it still worked fine.
The locale isn't as scenic as some choices in Pacific City and the homemade kettle chips were cooked too dark and thus tasted a little burned. Other than that this is a four-star place strongly working itself to a five-star choice for this style of sports bar/restaurant. Yet I'm awarding five stars given the other places we tried in Pacific City were soundly average (Grateful Bread) or far below (Fat Freddy's).
I like what the new owners have done with the place! They have great food and drinks. I will for sure go back. We sat at the bar for a bit and then grabbed a table on the upper level above the bar, both very comfortable. The outside deck area is really nice too and has a nice view of the river. Did I mention this place is fun? Pool tables and TV
Review Source:This is a nice restaurant with a sports pub atmosphere. Â We chose take-out, and it was done quickly. Â While waiting, I sipped on a good lemonade and my husband had a tap beer. Â There were flat panel displays everywhere, so it didn't matter where we sat, we could watch the game.
A decent selection on the menu, with a leaning toward steaks.
The service was good and the people were helpful and friendly. Â Parking is good in back, and there is an entrance in back as well.
We will go again and probably "eat in", for the full restaurant experience.
