Best restaurant experience!! Freshest oysters we've ever had. Sunseekers were our favorite. Plus the ocean view was gorgeous, right on the water with a heated covered patio. Baked oysters and clam chowder were also both delicious.Self service makes it efficient, food came quick.Added bonus is the drive down on Chuckanut Dr.

It's wonderful getting fresh oysters right from the source. The Shucker Special was delicious. So fresh! The vinegarette was very nice addition. It was nice sitting by the fireplaces outside by the water, even if it was a little chilly. The wine is very over-priced but a nice selection, even if it was $45 for a bottle! Quite a markup. That would be my only negative. Baked oysters were also tasty.

This place has a stunning view while delivering amazing fresh seafood! We loved this unique spot located slightly off the beaten path. The rough, fish-smelling quant atmosphere juxtaposes the pure taste of all their seafood. (Although, admittedly, the bread is just standard). We tried three different oysters. The Sumos were super hearty and flavorful. Nice fire pits are outside if you want to eat outside in colder weather. This has quickly become a fave spot that we know we will bring friends and family to.

5 Star all the way! Granted, the sun was out, and it was warm.But there is no denying the fact that fresh oysters are the stars of the day.I dressed for inclement weather, and I recommended this if it's cool and rainy.This means warm windproof layers , hat, and clothing that can withstand drops of shellfish, butter, or cocktail sauce.The three of us ordered2 shuckers choice5 Kumamotos10 shrimpthe breadOne bottle of wine

It took a while for me to find this place again on Google maps so that I could leave this review after finding it 5 years ago while on our anniversary trip.So, as we were driving the back roads just exploring when we happened to see the farm and then the restaurant. Both being oyster lovers we decided to go in and give it a shot.I had this parmesan baked oyster delight, that was pure pleasure in my mouth, and the raw oysters were just as delicious.I've always loved Gulf oysters until I had my first mouth full of Pacific oysters. There is no comparison.

I totally love this place! I make a detour hear almost every time I drive between Seattle and Bellingham/Vancouver. Awesome raw oysters and clam chowder. The smoked tinned oysters are incredible and last forever. The location is magically isolated on a boardwalk along the bay with views out to the San Juans and the big forested cliffs behind. Beer too;)

Always amazing here, especially in the summer. Somehow manages to pull off being a perfect date spot and a family friendly excursion at the same time. Service is professional, food is perfect and hits the table fast, plus they have a great adult and NA beverage selection. Beautiful views of the water and the forest wall behind the road give it a dreamy atmosphere.Kid-friendliness: Plenty of space to explore the rocks on the beach and when the tide is out, a closer look at the tide poolsWheelchair accessibility: It's all flat ground and a gentle grade down to the water past the railroad tracks, including the restrooms

There is nothing nicer than eating an outdoor dinner, watching the sunset across the Samish Bay, and over the San Juans, especially if that place is Taylor Shellfish. We had the smoked halibut chowder, with sides of marinated calamari, some boiled shrimp and a delicious and generous Caesar salad. I might have to go again before I leave the area.

We had such a great experience at Taylor Shellfish Farms! We tried almost everything on the menu and it was all absolutely delicious. The views and the vibes are unbeatable! There was a line when we got there but it moved quickly. They are very dog friendly which made it easy for us to enjoy the afternoon there with our pup. Can’t wait to come back already!Parking: Plenty of parking along the train tracks

Incredible oysters, crab, prawns and seafood on the rocks above the ocean. This place is a definite must see and well worth the trip from anywhere in or out of state. Absolutely incredible seafood and shellfish of so many different varieties- bring an appetite, then walk around some on the beach and then do it all over again. Absolutely love this place and we are definitely heading back and doing it together with the Saturday Bellingham Farmers market which is also so incredible.

A quintessential PNW experience - a magical drive through Chuckanut, perfectly fresh seafood, excellent beer/wine selections, and perfect views of the San Juan’s and Olympics across the bay. Our group of 5 ordered crab, oysters, geoduck, shrimp, charcuterie, mushrooms, and delicious bread with fresh butter.Everyone who lives in Washington should add this to their bucket list experience. 5/5. Can’t wait to visit again soon!

The drive from Bellingham to here was so beautiful! It was really pretty in the rain, would love to enjoy the drive with sunshine sometime too!What a cool spot. You can see where they’ve got the oysters going. Right on the water, beautiful views. The woman who took my order was super nice and helpful-being my first time I asked her for some recommendations and she told me which oysters were tasting good and shucking well so I did a dozen of those and enjoyed them immensely! (Great price too at $3/oyster) I also got the gumbo which was delicious, not spicy but great flavor. The glass of Albariño wine I got was excellent too. Really enjoyed it all.You bus your own tables, but they have a nice system that’s easy to understand. Bathrooms are outside in the building next door. Parking fills up fast.Highly recommend, def would love to come back here!

In town for work and someone recommended this place to me. Love oysters and was in the area so decided to check it out.Location is on the water (literally). I was lucky the sun was out. Perfect day for outdoor dining by the water.You order at the counter. They seat you. It is self serve (get your own utensils) and buss your own tables. Which I don’t mind at all.I ordered a dozen of the variety. So fresh and flavorful. Couldn’t ask for better oysters.I would return and recommend this place if your in the area.

Had a great experience visiting! Visiting early during the day, before lunch time, so it wasn’t busy and we got to enjoy some quiet moment by the shore. The oysters were fresh and well-served. It’s half self-served service. Clean environment; great atmosphere. Definitely recommend if you’re planning a trip to and forth Seattle/Bellingham.

This is one of my favorite places to eat! The selection of fresh oysters is amazing. I usually end up getting a shucker‘s dozen (or two) so I can try them all, which I recommend doing whether you’re new to eating oysters or not. The shucker’s dozen comes with a great seasonal assortment. All of the other seafood is great as well. The seasonal charcuterie board is wonderful. We also tried the shrimp, which were good. The side of rice is nice to have if you’re looking for some carbs or a cheap side dish. We’ve waited in line before for up to 20 minutes on certain days, but this time there was no line and we were seated and served right away (on a Monday afternoon). Beautiful outdoor seating options, fast service, and a wonderful view! I will never stop coming back here.Vegetarian options: Very few vegetarian dishes (just plain rice and salad)Parking: Parking is on a gravel road along the railroad tracks.Kid-friendliness: The restaurant is on the beach so there are places for kids to play! However there aren‘t many kid-oriented food choices.

I loved everything about this place and highly recommend. Wear comfy shoes as you may have to walk a little ways from where you park. It gets busy as you might expect, so you may have to stand and wait. I’ve never had such amazing black cod in my life! The oysters were great, a nice variety of freshly caught choices. I love the atmosphere sitting outside on the dock seeing their boats and fishing gear all around. There were wines and non-alcoholic beverages as well as self serve water.I just loved the vibe and the slogan “Tide to Table”

I couldn't have asked for a more perfect spot after whale watching. Probably the freshest oysters I've ever had. Super friendly staff. Long line but worth the wait. Only reason I gave the service a 3 star was because you bused your own table and had fetch your own drinks and silverware. Not saying that was a bad thing at all, you just don't get waited on.

We went during overcast weather with some rain, but there was still enough seats to be seated indoors. Service was great and friendly. We ordered the dozen fresh oysters, baked oysters and the white shrimp which all tasted very fresh! Would recommend if you're around the area!

Recently popped into the Pioneer Square location while travelling to Seattle for work. My co-worker suggested this place and I'm so glad he did. Living east of the Cascades, I long for good seafood. The food was amazing and the staff was top notch! Went back the following night for dinner and the server remembered us by name! Superior experience highly recommend!

Fresh seafood with a beautiful view. Good service & standard prices for fresh seafood.Lots of parking along the railroad track and water, and you can walk around the area.Tried the halibut cerviche (fresh and light) and geoduck. Would love to try the grilled oysters next.

The view here is amazing! Oysters tasted pretty good but I noticed they were pretty dirty. The ice they were served on had black sand on it and the shells did too. The oysters here are pretty expensive and I think for the price they charge they should at least make sure they’re cleaning them well. Also, I don’t see why tipping is even an option here. I tip for service but I didn’t get any service when I went other than getting our oysters dropped off. We had to bus our own tables and we had to chase down an employee for more lemons.
