Restaurants
Where locals actually eat in Brookings, Oregon — from harbor seafood to date-night bistros and the breakfast worth waiting for.
Pancho's Restaurant and Bar →Voted best Mexican year after year, they really strive to impress! Some of the absolute best service in town. Outdoor dining is enclosed so it's YEAR round available!! Very hard to find this feature. Food is authentic and portions are big, drink list is really fun and super reasonably priced. Small bar section and 2 dinning rooms plus the outdoor area you can almost always get a table, but be patient as it is very popular with locals all week.
Backstreet Bar Italian Kitchen →Authentic homemade take-out Italian food, this is a fantastic local favorite. A must try if especially if you are camping at Harris Beach. This is take out only unless you took it to the attached bar. The food is very authentic and the eggplant lasagna is a personal favorite. I don't want to forget to mention the out of this world single serving cheese cakes, they make all kinds of flavors and they are ALL superb! The amount of food for the price make this the best value as well as best Italian in town. But remember, you are going to bring this home or to your campsite which is super cool.
Superfly Distilling Company & Restauraunt →So right off, they specialize in craft beer & martinis made with house-distilled spirits, both are excellent with killer specials of the day. But the food is also very good with the entrees big enough to share. Quesabirria fries were just ridiculously good and sharable with 3 adults.
- RH Pub & Grill →
Just a great place to grab some delicious food, daily specials, outdoor seating, and a great staff. We LOVE this place as it is always the same, great service, awesome staff, and the food is delicious. We do enjoy the fact that we can bring our dogs with us as well as the fantastic IPA's.
- Pacific Sushi & Grill →
Fresh fish in a fishing town, done Japanese style. It's a small, calm room that works as well for date night as for a quick lunch, and the seasonal specials are worth asking about. It's consistently one of the best-reviewed restaurants in town, and it has earned that. We recommend staying and eating in as this restaurant has a really cool vibe.
- Catalyst Seafood →
Down at the Port of Brookings Harbor, where the boats come in, Catalyst is the classic coast stop for chowder and fish and chips. Order the clam chowder, grab a window if you can, and watch the harbor traffic. It pairs well with a walk along the docks before or after. Has nice outdoor seating and view of the harbor and boats. Love the fish and chips, as well as a friendly staff.
Black Trumpet Bistro →When someone asks where to go for a real dinner in Brookings, this is the answer. It's a small, family-owned bistro on Chetco Avenue doing New American food with a strong Italian accent, plus a lot of fresh local seafood. It's cozy and it fills up, so reserve ahead on weekends. Save room: the desserts have their own following, and the crème brûlée is the one people talk about. I tried the Chocolate cake, WOW.. looks like it might be too sweet, but it was PERFECT worth the entire visit.
