Visiting and found our favorite restaurant closed and the building empty. Great loss to the ocean shores restaurant scene.

Alec's has always been one of our favorites at Ocean Shores. Sadly the restaurant is closed and there is a For Lease sign on the front windows. Thank you to Alec's for many, many wonderful meals. Hoping someone takes the spot and resurrects a great location!

We randomly decided to visit the coast on Friday and ended at this restaurant. I had the Friday special Prime rib. It was perfect - juicy inside and crispy at the edge. The fat is not greasy at all. My hubby had the seafood pasta which was also great. He usually doesn't give positive comments on pastas but he said this one was fresh and tasty.

Well, their open but there are many better places to eat in the area. We ordered 4 dinners and 3 aps. The ribs were ok but a little dry. The pan fried oysters were eatable but barely. The sauted shrimp was terrable and the tiger prawn pasta dish ineatable. To be fair the wait staff did comp out the two shrimp dishes. The service was pretty good. We wont go back here for sure.

I love this restaurant. When I discovered it I had to go back the same night to re-order what I had eaten that morning. Their mashed potatoes are legitimately the best mashed potatoes I’ve ever had anywhere. I will go back just for those. But when I went back a week later, the wait staff recognized me, I was impressed with her memory as I’m sure she serves a lot of customers.

A nice little local restaurant! Service was fairly good, a little slow maybe but we did order gluten free meals so hopefully they were taking extra time to accommodate. The food was good but nothing really to write home about. It was just nice to have a place way out here that served gluten free food!! The prices were pretty high as well so don't expect a bargain, but nice to have a night off cooking for the family.

I always am satisfied when I eat here. There is a great mix of options, always cooked properly and not over seasoned.
Have been here twice now and both times have been GREAT! Had the halibut fish and chips (homemade potato chips) and I'm not sure what I enjoyed more, the fish or the chips!! The "comfort" food Yankee Pot Roast was scrumptious and the Teriyaki Chicken Salad was one of the best I've ever had - Our server was awesome. At first, we weren't too sure as she was a bit quiet, but I believe that was just an act because she sure warmed up after a few minutes and bantered back and forth with us the entire time - All in all a great place! We'll be back!

Awesome food in HUGE portions for the price. Fast and friendly employees who do their job very well. Homemade potato chips! Favorite place in town to get my burger and fries.

Went here on a Sunday night. Terrible experience. Both our prime rib was cold and chewy. My mom ordered a salad because the entrées do not come with them anymore for an upcharge of 5 dollars. Not fresh, and teeny portion! What a disappointment. Limited menus and upcharging isn't going to help this restaurant. Hopefully they will hire some cooks with experience soon. Will not be back.

Ate here twice during recent stay in Ocean Shores. First time had chowder in bread bowl. Was yummy and filling. Second time had cup chowder and coconut prawns (they were out of this first time). Prawns and dipping sauce were good as well. Good distancing of customers during COVID. Not sure salt and peppers were thoroughly disinfected between customers. Did see waitress wipe down a table that patrons had been seated at but moved to another table so that was good.
