Food was only fair. The fish and chips were limp, wet, and soggy. The flavor was ok… but the texture was way off. Shrimp was a small, and flavorless. We have eaten there several times but this trip has changed things.

Stopped in after running into another family in Bend, OR that recommend Bell Bouy to us. We specifically came to try the whole crab dinner. Never having had a whole crab before we were just a little worried we might not enjoy it, it was DELICIOUS!! Highly recommend.

Salmon fish and chips (with a side of positivity and kindness)
It is easy to find cod or halibut as the "fish" in "fish and chips," and it always feels like a treat when we can find a place that uses salmon and uses it well. Bell Buoy of Seaside did it masterfully (using salmon from the neighboring fish market). An absolutely amazing lunch of fish and chips with salmon, incredible French fries, coleslaw, and a really great tartar sauce as well). As good as the food was, the kind and exceptionally positive customer service made our lunch even more enjoyable. Nicole at the front was warm, inviting, patient, and friendly with everyone who came in, and Javier absolutely knows his way around the kitchen. What a dynamic duo! We are already looking forward to returning to this amazing restaurant in Seaside.

Don't bother
Fish and chips were good, but portions of fish have gotten smaller (but prices going up!) Chowder was different than before. Tasted horrible! Returned it for a refund. Sad, used to be great , now a watery mess. Crab melt was great, but small. Price very high for what you get. Overall, OK food (except the Chowder, which was gross!) Poor value. Have been coming to the coast (and Bell Buoy) for over 20 years. Sad this place has gone down hill.

Yummy Hits & Awful Misses
We grew up on the Oregon coast, & Bell Buoy is one of our fondest memories & has always been a very reliable destination; that is, until yesterday. We spent the day in Seaside & decided to have lunch at their restaurant, which is a recent addition comparatively speaking to how long BB has been there We have eaten at the restaurant several times since it opened & have never been disappointed. You can get everything from fried cod, oysters, Halibut, & prawns in a basket w/coleslaw & yummy fries to Clam Chowder for a fairly reasonable price, & it is ALWAYS consistently good. While I was ordering our food, (Halibut & Oyster Baskets $38 total), my husband went to the part where you get smoked salmon, fresh crab, fresh shrimp etc. He came out with a quart of fresh crab & a piece of smoked salmon totaling $65. We understand how expensive fresh shelled crab is, but are willing to treat ourselves occasionally as we love it so much. While we were waiting for our baskets, we went ahead & dug into the fresh crab,…I was so excited then, I put it in my mouth; you could tell it had already started to turn & therefore, had been over-salted as well as having pieces of shells in all through it. We both ended up, spitting it out but, to their credit, they took it back & returned our $. What we learned today is this: only order fresh crab during tourist season but order those yummy seafood baskets year round!
