This place was so good that I got a stomach ache from overeating! A must try for anyone visiting Salem or if you haven't yet!

My 5 year old thought we said "Fish on the grass" when we asked her if she wanted to go here. She was mortified... so we went inside. Once inside though she loved it. The kids portions are large and the food is delicious.Kid-friendliness: Big kids portions. Non fish options.

The Mcgraths in our town closed and it was a rare treat to visit the one in Salem. Love the grilled fish and salad

Their calamari and clam chowder are to die for. Big portions and friendly service make it a not to miss experience for any seafood lover!

Service was friendly and prompt. Arrived and seated immediately. Waitress was friendly and knowledgeable. Atmosphere was decent with beachy decor and wall hangings. Where they fall short is the food. I got the ahi poke bowl and it was the worst I've ever gotten. Rice was dry and hard, so undercooked. Veggies tasted bland and the fish was definitely not fresh. The tuna was separating as old fish does Would not recommend the particular dish I ordered.

This place has gone kinda downhill. I have been house sitting a few times lately and decided to to treat myself to a fancy to go order. I decided to order the steak and lobster with a bowl of clam chowder and salad for leftovers for my lil celebration. Well, the first time it was cold and bland. I spent $50 on everything. I wrote to corporate disappointed about this experience.They mailed me $40 in gift certificates, which was very nice. I decided to try again today for lunch. Same order but this time with the ahi as an app. Ahi was okay. Steak was ordered medium rare and was well done and no lobster. I called and I got $10 refunded to my card so I then spent $11 instead of $21. Never again will they get a penny from me.Ps: the two stars overall is for the bread bc it’s so good and the honey mustard dressing. Rest is no bueno.

I have enjoyed their Jambayla. It was amazing at Corvallis prior to closing. If you want noodles and spice and willing to add bay scallps — maybe 5 for an additional cost This is your resteraunt. If you want shrimp skewers—3 with 51-100 shrimp and loaded with skewered veggies. This is your resteraunt. So sad! Remember when John and Debbie McGrath owned it. Our waiter couldn’t even fill water. On the positve side our friends we took enjoyed their fish and chips and club sandwhich. Guess I should have taken their lead!!
We had a Grest Easter dinner here. Lobster, dunngenous crabsteaks, Baked potatoes, mashed potatoes, salads, Bloody Mary's, it was all served So nice with great service! I'm a very big fan today!
