Tony's Crab Shack
Iconic seafood shack on the Old Town Bandon waterfront, known for crab cakes, fish tacos and house-smoked salmon.
Started in 1989 as a bait and tackle shop on the waterfront, and the tackle shop is still next door. The small shop sits on the boardwalk along the Coquille River and specializes in crab cakes, fish tacos, a crab and bay shrimp sandwich and house-smoked salmon. The lobster roll is also frequently praised. The kitchen doesn't use a deep fryer. You can rent crabbing gear to catch your own crab off the docks, then have the shop clean and cook it. Food is eaten outdoors overlooking the river, and lines are common in peak season. Open until early evening, it's good for lunch or dinner. About $20–35 per person, and within walking distance of Old Town.
