It's a nice museum with some cool information and displays about Coos Bay history.. it's a bummer that they don't allow video recording and the price is a little high for adults for a small museum.. I was a little disappointed in the lack of information and displays of the Native American tribes that were here for thousands of years before..

So interesting, and the personal tour at the beginning is very educational. A beautiful facility. We loved it!

It was $25 for 2 adults and one child. The place was small and just didn't have as much as we were anticipating. When we walked in, we were greeted by a gay pride and transgender flag. There was also gay propaganda outside the bathrooms marked 21 and over. We are not planning to return.

I walked in thinking, “Alright, cool, let’s explore a bit,” but the moment I stepped inside, it felt like I’d dropped into some kind of time-travel side mission. The place has this quiet energy—like the walls are whispering stories if you just stop and pay attention. Every room pulled me in deeper. Old photos, artifacts, pieces of people’s lives… it all hits different when you’re standing in front of it. I got that feeling I love—the one where curiosity takes over and suddenly you’re wandering around wide-eyed, trying to soak everything in at once. There were moments that made me kinda pause emotionally too. Seeing how people lived, worked, fought through rough stuff… it made me feel connected in a way I didn’t expect from a museum visit. It’s like you walk in just wanting to explore, and you walk out carrying something meaningful with you. The staff were awesome—super kind, super passionate. You could tell they care about the history they're sharing, and that energy rubs off. Makes you want to learn more, stay longer, just keep exploring. When I left, I had this weird but good mix of excitement and calm, like my brain was buzzing but my heart was grounded. It’s the kind of place that reminds you how much story there is in the world—way more than we notice running around in everyday life. If you love exploring, discovering hidden stories, or just getting lost in a different time for a while, Coos History Museum is absolutely worth the trip. It’s not just a museum—it’s an experience that sticks with you.

The children are free and adults are only $7. We learned so much about Coos Bay history.

Spent a fun few hours here. Recommend it to learn of local history.

A really good museum with interesting artifacts and area history. Friendly staff and reasonable entry fee. Nice lil gift shop too.

Two rooms being remodelled, so discounted entry. But to be honest, even though the wood carvings were ace, and I appreciated the exhibit honouring a local athletic hero, Steve Prefontaine, the rest was underwhelming. Hopefully, the two closed rooms are good enough to lift the experience. Value for money was ace, only $3.50 due to the exhibition remodel. Worth that to support the arts.

My family enjoyed it they were from out of country ,currently a lot of the expedition was closed due to remodeling it was a nice place to visit and would recommend it when they have the rest of the exhibits open they are giving a discount currently because of limited things being shown. Staff was very helpful in getting other things that I needed

As a runner from middle school through college, I was thrilled to see Steve Prefontaine's memorial. The curator of the museum was extremely nice; and he informed me I barely missed talking to Pre's sister. I was honored to discover I was at one time in the same room as her. Until next time.

The Coos Art Museum is a very nice Museum. The building is clean and well maintained. There are several restrooms in the building. There is a fee but it is very minimal. Most of the artwork is for sale and there are binders showing the prices. The staff is very friendly. I did not see any handicapped parking in front of the building but there is a ramp to the front door and there is an elevator to the second floor. The entrance door does have a button to open the door.. The first floor art rooms are wide open and plenty of open space. The second floor rooms have doors that are not automatic and could be problematic for handicapped visitors. It is a very nice art museum and worth a visit when visiting Coos Bay Oregon.

Came to Coos Bay on a Monday to see the Prefontaine sites. Museum was closed but someone let me in the backdoor to see the Prefontaine room. Don't miss it if you are here for him. Lots of memorabilia you can't see anywhere else! Didn't see the rest of the art museum but it seemed nice

Absolutely fantastic venue, art and staff! So thrilled at the programs put on by the Coos Art Museum.

Inviting entryway. Welcoming staff. Current and changing exhibits are inspirational.

From one end of the boardwalk to the other is just about 1 mile. It’s a nice leisurely walk along the waterfront. Lots of historical information in the pavilion area. In the early development stage of Coos Bay logging was the primary industry. Coos Bay is located on the coast in Central coast of Oregon. Plenty to do here for sportsman, fisherman, and dune buggy enthusiast.

The birds also really like this place in spite of all the precautions taken. Lol. It was a very nice walk with great placards and information to read.

The boardwalk is just a place to walk along the river, a few pavilions that tell you about the history and has a few old boats that were used at the time, the visitors center is across the street on the north end of the boardwalk. A few interesting plaques.

The Coos Bay Boardwalk is wonderful to walk along as they have a nicely paved half mile walking path along the water. They also have picnic tables to eat, water side with views of the docks. There is a cute seafood place to eat on the water. It is a much nicer walk than I originally expected it to be. Very beautiful!!

Beautiful scenery, sun was shining with a nice ocean breeze to take the edge off. Plenty of fishing boats to look at, and a floating fish & chip restaurant i may visit tomorrow!

It was a fairly short boardwalk with some nice information to read. Unfortunately the pigeons and seagulls also like that area. At least I didn't get pooped on my head. 😀

Fun place to walk. Very peaceful. Nice docks. Great boats.

I've enjoyed the paved paths in this park for years now. Today we decided to jump the track and found so many more trails up the hillside and under some magnificent trees. It was so beautiful and it renewed a part of me. I think it was the first time my rescue dog ever saw such a beautiful and tranquil place. He definitely did not want to leave!

A great park, with a lake and a small pond, bridges, grass, playground, picnic areas, a lovely place for a stroll or walking your dog or just sitting and relaxing.

While on my way to a Korean restaurant, I discovered this wonderfully maintained park, perfect for a dog walk. The light rain made for an ideal and very pleasant stroll, with plenty of interesting sights. It was a thoroughly relaxing walk, and I definitely recommend it!

Great place to walk your dog and experience some nature. The park is clean and well-maintained.

Absolutely gorgeous there's a big hill going into the park its pretty hard on the older folk but worth it

Great park. Excellent variety. I remember going here since the 70s when I stayed with my grandparents.

Been going there for years. Live the park! Great for dogs.

There were so many options and lots of taste tests. The wonderful lady who helped us at the counter was absolutely amazing. She had dark hair. She helped us with options and ideas that we definitely needed. She made our experience. Unfortunately, we did not get her name, but we won't forget her customer service. I've been in the area a few times and never stopped by, I'm so glad I finally got the chance to. Busiest place in town. I've added the photo of the sasquatch that we bought. I guess it was the last one and is so cute. Thank you!!

I see this place and it looks unassuming. Finally decided to go in and so glad I did. Super cute inside. The nicest staff. Delicious goodies. So many free tastings!

Kind of out of the way but definitely worth the drive. Samples everywhere and if there was something you wanted to try, just ask and they gave you a sample. Delicious chili late. The Big Foot was very tasty. Yummy popcorn with 10+ varieties. And did I mention tons of samples!

This is a store for everyone! Wide selection of sweets, some of them a bit weird, but that's the point. Super cute store, nice ladies helping us out. Definitely recommend this gem.

Great customer service. The ladies behind the counter are friendly and make you feel very comfortable. They encourage you to test their sampled products which are super yummy!

Absolutely a sweet tooth heaven. I miss not being able to sample things that I don't know if I'll like, however, I also know what I do like so... No problems there. They do give pre packaged samples at check out though. Love this place. I'm from Eugene and I visit every time I'm in the area. Chocolate lovers paradise!

There were a lot of tasty treats to choose from. Plenty of options from taffy to chocolate and jelly beans. I think everyone in the family could find something to enjoy. The production is right in back of the store. It would be fun to see them work through the windows but we went in on Sunday when they weren't making anything.

Very fun, slightly fancy restaurant. I got a free slice of cake for playing in cash, so I may be biased! Amazing chicken and spatzle dish, the homemade bread was fantastic and dense. They have a cozy outdoor patio space that looks well sheltered and have a kid's menu. Lots of gorgeous cakes and cheesecakes, a Gluten Free option option was available when I visited. Server was friendly and very attentive, love all the lovely old fashioned decor.

Well, this was a delightful and surprising find! I was in Coos Bay for one night (on my way up the Oregon Coast) and I came across this charming restaurant. My mother was German (grew up in what in now western Poland), and I had been raised on Schnitzel, Sauerbraten, Rouladin, Goulash, Beef Stroganoff and both Knackwurst and Bratwurst. So, for me to when eating at a German restaurant, I come equipped with expectations of being disappointed. But not so at the Blue Heron! I ordered the Oktoberfest dinner (schnitzel, sauerbraten, knackwurst, bratwurst, sauerkraut and potato salad with a side of mustard), and a side of the goulash over a generous plate of spätzel. And a small glass of Paulaner Oktoberfest amber beer. WOW! I was so pleased and ate far more of the very delicious and authentic food than I had expected to. Since I was dining alone, I was also delighted to enjoy reading a number of pages of a book I found on the window sill of the booth, call ed Everybody's War (by the original owner of the Blue Heron, Wim de Vriend, who was a fan of German cuisine and bread and enjoyed collecting many stories of German, Polish and Dutch survivors of WWII. As both my parents were WWII refugees (from Poland and the Czech Republic), I found this book fascinating and Wim de Vriend a wonderful "virtual" dinner companion. I was reluctant to leave, but it was getting late so I got a "take home" box and bought a new signed copy of "Everybody's War" (which are available at the restaurant for about $25). I'm now enjoying reading it (it's the following morning) and I'll soon be munching on my delicious leftovers for breakfast! Danke schön, Mr. de Vriend, and whomever is the new owner of The Blue Heron!

Wow. That is an understatement. I try a bennie everywhere I go. The burnt ends benedict here was by far my favorite...ever. That silky yolk and 100% home made hollandaise is incomparable to all the rest. Well done. Great server, she was friendly, personable, and great to interact with in all directions. I will definitely be back.

An A+ experience. Cannot say enough about Cassandras professionalism and care with EVERY table. She provides a calm even when it is very busy. The food and atmosphere remind us of our favorite places in Chicago and Germany. Worth the stop over and over again

I took a friend, from way back in high school, that was visiting to show off the area. I was not disappointed! She and I had the surf and turf with the clam chowder. The entire meal was exquisite! The clam chowder was the best I've ever had in my entire life! It reminded me of a lobster bisque with clams in it. The steak and shrimp were cooked to perfection! The green beans and potatoes were seasoned and cooked wonderfully as well. I highly recommend the Blue Heron! We had a wonderful time! Whenever friends or family visit the area, this is going to be my go-to restaurant to impress them.

What can I say the food was Awesome 👌 the wait staff were nice. If you spend 35.00 or more and pay cash you get a free pice of cake. The desert is so good. My wife really liked this place we want to go back. Every was excellent..

Certainly not what I expected at Coos Bay. A German restaurant. They had a fair selection of traditional German cuisine, mixed with seafood dishes you would expect to see at the coast. I had salmkn with carrots, spinach, and potatoes. The dish was everything I expected. My wife indulged in their fried oysters. She loved them and noted how fresh they were. The atmosphere? It lloks exactly how a German restaurant should look...German. Swing in, have some gluhwein, you won't be disappointed.

Love love love this restaurant!! The food was fresh and cooked perfectly. Our server was very friendly and met our every need. We started with a couple martinis and the calamari appetizer. Portions are of normal size which was so refreshing. We ordered the halibut special and papperdelle pasta. Both were so delicious, halibut was cooked perfectly. One of our favorite restaurants in the area, can’t wait to go back and try more delicious menu items. Thank you!’

We had a wonderful meal at Restaurant O! We each had halibut from the specials menu, one with beet risotto and the other with shrimp and truffle mashed potatoes. Outstanding! The amuse bouche was creative and super tasty. Would definitely return when next in Coos Bay!

Took my girlfriend here for dinner when we began our coast trip. The menu was robust but not overly so. You could tell every item had care put into it. The service was excellent and though they were on the busier side we didn't have to wait for a table. I had the Crab Cakes, the Steak Tartare, and the Escargot. My girlfriend got the course dinner and everything looked incredible. She very much enjoyed the Pork Belly in Jus over Mashed Potatoes. I didn't do an excellent job taking photos, but I'll post them below. If you are looking for a nice fine dining meal in Coos Bay, in an environment that doesn't feel stuffy or prudish, I highly recommend stopping in here.

DO NOT RECOMMEND Note: Pictures all included We called ahead of time and they said they had a special vegan menu. Everything that was listed over the call sounded very good in concept but the execution on the other hand was nonexistent. To start from the very top: ⁃ When the appetizers came out we were very confused because half of the ingredients under the items listed on the menu were not there. For example, the signature appetizer, Zupetta, was supposed to be a focaccia and vegetable plate. It was missing the focaccia and bits of the vegan cheese were ice cold. The local wild mushrooms & duo of orange salad was supposed to come with wild mushroom, oranges, and orange jelly. The wild mushrooms (the literal main ingredient) and orange jelly were not present and the flavors in the dish did not go well together at all. We asked the server and she brought over the mushrooms and focaccia however the focaccia was extremely crumbly and didn’t taste fresh. Note: The sauce for the dish did in fact taste very good. ⁃ For the main dish we had ordered two signature dishes, nano risotto that was supposed to be flavored with truffle, and apple wood smoked vegetables with a mint and pea purée . Once again the risotto was missing the truffle (which the waitress acknowledged was a mistake on the chef’s part). For the apple wood smoke dish, instead of mint and pea puree it just had torn mint and peas on the top. This simple doesn’t work when the vegetables don’t have any flavor of their own. The dish was also extremely oily as seen in the pictures which was surprising considering the vegetables were grilled. The potatoes were burnt and the squash was overcooked and falling apart, the zucchini had grill marks on it but somehow wasn’t cooked all the way through. For what it’s worth, the risotto did taste good even without the truffle. ⁃ For dessert, we ordered a chilled duo of strawberry and jasmine soup, that was supposed to come with a strawberry sorbet. Instead we received ice water with melted sorbet, with chopped mint and a teaspoon of sorbet. No jasmine to be found. It was so gross we didn’t finish it. To give credit where credit is due, the complimentary pre appetizer with beetroot hummus with tomato and balsamic drizzle, and shot of gazpacho was very good. When it came to service, we were attempting to wave the waitresses down to get our orders fixed but they were too busy chatting amongst themselves. When it came to the bill, there was a mistake on the bill where they charged us for an extra order of our mains. I’m not one to critique ambiance however given this was listed as fine dining and the high prices I have to comment the decor was extremely tacky. It looked like the table cloths came from tj maxx, there were random Christmas ornaments and ribbons taped to the wall (we came late August) and the iced soup was served on a sparkly napkin. To top it off, the chef has put a picture of himself on the wall in which he refers to himself as “master chef O’Neill”. How embarrassing. Please keep in mind this restaurant is listed and the prices reflect “fine dining” hence why we thought this review was worthwhile. Save your money and receive higher quality food at Taco Bell. You’ll get less of a stomachache (our stomaches were killing us after all that grease) and your wallets will thank you.

My wife and I love to dine out. We love Vegas style fine dining. Haven said that I'll say this we dont expect that type of quality from any restaurant outside the Las Vegas area. This restaurant failed, in my opinion. My wife loved all of her food and drinks. I ordered the filet minion (medium rare), mashed potatoes, and steamed mixed vegetables with a cocktail, the Irish old-fashioned. Cocktails were the best part of the evening. My steak was over cooked, no crust on it, no flavor at all, the mashed potatoes tasted so bland that I really didn't want to eat them, the steamed vegetables were even more bland and hard. I been cooking steaks for years now and I could have cooked a better steak and made a mashed potato dish that everyone would love, the mix vegetables could have had at least some type of flavor, a little salt or pepper perhaps, I know its steamed but come on. The desert was good. The atmosphere could use a little more quality and less recycled look. Tip for the cleaning person, please wipe down the gold wall art after each guest, there was food from the previous guest smeared on it. Seating is all tables with no booths. I give it three stars at best. Food needs more flavoring and better quality. The wedge salad ok, and the ranch is kind of gross.

If I could give more than 5 stars I would! Food is absolutely fantastic! Better than Michelin star restraints I’ve been to. Drinks and atmosphere were also fantastic. If I lived here this place would be a weekly indulgence.

This restaurant was great! It had really tasty appetizers like the octopus, snails, and the salmon cevichie from the Chef. Drinks were awesome! Ribeye and Halibut was spot on. Our main dishes came out a little late so our waiter was very kind and gave us a box of truffles. Definitely be coming back. Thank you!

Abby’s Legendary Pizza was a great pizza place, right on Hwy 101 going thru Coos Bay. The inside was nice, and they had a few TV’s to watch, and some video games along one wall. I ordered the Taco Pizza because the pictures online looked good! It came out looking just like the picture! I was amazed by the flavor of all of the ingredients. The lettuce, tomato, beef (or you can choose chicken) and cheese all tastes great. I put some of the taco sauce packets on it, and that added the perfect flavor. That was one of the best pizzas I had had in years. Just amazing. I live in Arizona, but when I come back thru the Oregon Coast, I will definitely stop for pizza here in Coos Bay!

We were here on vacation, rainy night and decided to eat in with pizza. We. Ordered a large Pepperoni pizza and six wings for delivery cost me $40.32 with the delivery fee was $56. I was OK with the cost just because they said they were so good and had such good reviews. Unfortunately when the pizza was delivered, it was a basic 10 inch cheese pizza six naked wings, no sauce and because it was done with DoorDash, I had no recourse and all they could say was sorry Terrible. Please do not order from them. Just go to one of the big chain stores. You will be much happier.

Fully decent pizza place! It’s clean and spacious inside. The staff were polite. Food arrived fast. We enjoyed the spud appetizer, cheesy breadsticks and the family sized pizza fed six people easily. They offer birthday parties here and have a small section of video games.

No better place for locals and tourists. Stay away from the large chain pizzas and you won't regret it! Our local Abbys has great customer service, awesome pizza and good pricing. You talk with locals who will make you that extra special pizz too. A great place for a party or business meeting too. Definitely go here ( or local for sure) if you want to be happy all around!

My family and I recently came in for our adult son’s birthday on a Saturday, early afternoon. We ordered a giant sized pizza and two large pizzas, plus beer and soda. Everything looked good and tasted great. Customer service was awesome and the pizzas came out quickly. This is my favorite location to come to dine in. My favorite is the Taco Pizza.

When I called and complained, they told me that I didn’t know how to order through DoorDash and blamed the situation on me. Don’t waste your money, just go to one of the big chain stores. Overall the quality and taste of this so and so “legendary” and “great” pizzas didn’t meet their standards.

Always crispy crust, wonderful toppings, and they will make it the way you like it! They don’t have a salad bar like other Abby’s, but they still have salads to order.

Craft Pizza at it’s best!! A perfect time! Crust was a true wood fired crust. Toasty without being over done. The sauce is stellar and fresh tasting. The cheese was high quality and fresh as well. The vibe of the space made us feel welcome and inviting. The owner was there and went above and beyond. Thanks for having us👍.

The pizza was amazing. I loved the atmosphere and service was great. I'm definitely coming back. Update: Came back again, the pizza was even better this time around. Update: came back again. 3rd time now. The pizza was the best yet.

What an awesome gem on the Oregon Coast. We went as a family, and were so excited as soon as we walked in. The decor and music and environment and yes smells of amazing food. The owner served us and treated us like friends. So personable and fun. The food was off the charts amazing. They make their own pizza and calzone crust and hello. Never had better. My fiancé and I returned for the New Year’s Eve party that was the best dance party at 49 I have ever been to. And once again we now consider the owners friends. They worked all night and with excellent customer service and kindness!! We will be back. I only hope they will now visit my private day spa in southern Oregon, Fly Girls Esthetics and Nails Private Day Spa Boutique, so I can spoil them!! We love you guys and wish you all the best with your business adventure!!!

First time visiting Coos Bay/North Bend area for my birthday weekend and was so happy to discover this place walking distance from the hotel. I love trying new pizza places and Front Street didn't disappoint. The only disappointment was that it wasn't in Portland. Hillary was fantastic and one of the kitchen staff gave us some tips on places to try. The food was really yummy and the atmosphere was super cool!

This restaurant has an amazing vibe and absolutely delicious food. The brussel sprouts were phenomenal, and of course the pizza was yummy. We also really enjoyed the crème brûlée and bread with oil as well. We will definitely be back soon.❤️❤️

Savory and delicious- for a price. My bud and I were tired of it raining all day and wanted to go to someplace that was not the same old food. Front street provisioners is a new place in town offering an unusual menu and gluten free pizza. We got a pizza they recommended , clam chowder and two special salads. It was all good and filled us right up. I had eaten there once before as a hosted party- and i would describe their food as savory. Not hot but not a lot of sugar either. Our bill was 41 dollars. But we probably ordered too much. The conversation was good and atmosphere light and relaxed. Upon leaving, the night didn't seem so dark and wet after all.

Was able to get seated at an outdoor dog friendly table right away on a Thursday night. Currently they have covered seating with heaters post Covid. Previously the outdoor tables were not covered so I’m not sure if they’ll keep the cover or revert back. The tent can be a bit noisy in the wind but still nice if it were raining or cold. The beer, wine and cider menu had a nice variety. Be sure to ask for off menu drink specials/options. I had the Soulless Pear (Ginger pear cider) and it was great. I ordered the eggs benedict Pizza and it was very good. It’s simple yeah very tasty. The only thing I would change would be to cook the egg a little less. And next time I’ll ask if I can add a second egg to balance it out a little bit more. All in all it was a very good meal very good service at a good price. I’ll definitely be back again.

This place was a great location especially if you have your dog along! Nice covered outdoor area, fun server we chatted with, and gummy worms with your check (instead of mints) HAHA - great little touch! Good food for the price as well - definitely recommend!!!

super cool dine in experience near a measum and the bay! best fish ive had in oregon! fresh and tasty! get the halibut or the fish and chips! the prawns are to die for and are good portion sizes!

I'll start with the good but then continue to read so you can actually get a better feel for my review and hear the bad and negative side of things. The main good thing is the design of this place. It's very unique and you probably won't find another place like it. It's actually three different buildings on an elevated platform. One is the main kind of kitchen area with only three small tables on the inside. They then also have a larger outdoor seating area and in the back I think they have a bar area as well. That's it. That's the only good thing I have to say about this place. The rest is my actual review. Everything about this restaurant was very mediocre from the setup to the actual design and layout to the quality of food and sadly to the service. I can tell you right now this is a place that I would not recommend going to and if I'm in the area again, I will probably not revisit. Not because everything was terrible but just simply because the price to quality was not there for me and my family. While the food was decent, it was all, to be honest, very bland and highly overpriced. There were two adults and and two children under 2 years old, one of which is not even eating solids. For one simple chicken tender and a basket of fries. It was essentially $10. For the fish and chips it was $18. That's the standard price compared to most fish and chip places. But to be honest the fish here was completely plain. It literally tasted like nothing. It was just deep fried meat with no taste or flavor. My wife ordered a fish sandwich which she said she enjoyed; but again I'm not sure if that was because she was starving or because the fish sandwich was truly that good. Portions definitely do not seem to be adequate for the pricing. I ordered a five piece fish and chips basket and the pieces that I received were small, and like I said, had no taste, and really just broke apart as soon as I picked them up. To be honest that was very disappointed and in reality I would rather just go to a grocery store and buy some frozen fish pieces and some french fries and have heated it up in the oven. The service here was very mediocre. The staff I guess was friendly but to be honest not really that attentive either. They were understaffed and overworked. Our server did seem friendly but they only came and checked on is once and didn't even offer me a refill on my strawberry lemonade that says that it comes with a refill. Like I said, the price to quality ratio was not really here at this restaurant and I will not be returning again. But maybe I had a one off situation and this place really is great, I hope that's the case as I don't want to see a good place suffer.

Our waitress was Darla, and this stop hands down made our trip the first time we went, the staff and the food. My girlfriend and I Drove about 13 hours to get their fish and chips for a second time. We were expecting to see Darla again but it was her day off (well deserved) and they still shined like a diamond. (We will be back)

The staff was very friendly and attentive even though it was busy. Food was good and plentiful. Seating is mostly outside under cover on picnic tables.

Great experience and service. The food is hot and fresh right to your table. I will definitely be stopping by here again every time I pass through.
