The Best Fish And Chips in Lincoln City, Oregon

There are certain foods that just taste better at the Oregon Coast, and fish and chips are near the top of the list. Crispy batter, flaky fish, a pile of fries, and an ocean view nearby are a pretty hard combination to beat.

Fortunately, you don’t have to look far to find good fish and chips in Lincoln City. From restaurants specializing almost entirely in fried seafood to longtime Oregon Coast favorites, there are plenty of places around town to satisfy the craving.

Here are some of the best places to find fish and chips in Lincoln City, Oregon.

Squatchsami Fish and Chips Outpost

Squatchsami has developed a serious following for its fish and chips, and seafood is very much the main event here. After operating as a food truck, Squatchsami moved into its Outpost at 6042 S. U.S. 101 overlooking Siletz Bay. The restaurant focuses on fresh, locally sourced coastal food and has earned recognition for its fish and chips.

The fish comes with a light, crisp batter rather than a thick, heavy coating, and the rosemary fries help distinguish Squatchsami’s version from the standard fish-and-fries basket. The scratch-made clam chowder is another popular choice if you’re having trouble deciding between two Oregon Coast classics.

Squatchsami is located on the south end of Lincoln City, making it an easy stop if you’re exploring the Siletz Bay area.

J’s Fish & Chips

Located at 1800 SE Highway 101, J’s is a casual, no-frills spot where fried seafood takes center stage. Fish and chips are one of the restaurant’s specialties, with both cod and halibut among the options diners regularly mention. The restaurant is also known for its light, crispy coating, curly fries, coleslaw, and clam chowder.

This isn’t necessarily the place for a long, fancy seafood dinner. That’s part of the appeal. If what you really want is a basket of hot fish and chips without a lot of ceremony, J’s is an easy choice.

Mo’s Seafood & Chowder

You can’t really talk about classic Oregon Coast seafood without Mo’s entering the conversation.

The Lincoln City Mo’s is located at 860 SW 51st Street in the Taft area near Siletz Bay. Although the restaurant is famous for its clam chowder, you’ll find plenty of fried seafood on the menu as well, including fish and chips. Diners can also pair the coastal classics and make a meal out of fried seafood and a cup or bowl of chowder.

Mo’s is particularly good for anyone looking for the traditional Oregon Coast seafood-restaurant experience rather than a dedicated fish-and-chips shop. It’s been part of Oregon’s coastal dining landscape for generations, and the Lincoln City location remains one of the city’s busiest seafood stops.

Pub Fish & Chips

For another restaurant where fish and chips aren’t just an afterthought, head north on Highway 101 to Pub Fish & Chips.

Located at 4157 NW U.S. 101, this casual restaurant specializes in exactly what its name promises. It’s one of Lincoln City’s most-reviewed dedicated fish-and-chips restaurants and offers a straightforward option when crispy fried fish is specifically what you’re after.

The casual setting also makes it an easy lunch or dinner stop when you’d rather spend your day exploring Lincoln City than sitting through a lengthy meal.

Kyllo’s Seafood & Grill

Fish and chips with an ocean view? Kyllo’s makes a strong case for combining the two.

Located beside the D River where it reaches the Pacific, Kyllo’s is one of Lincoln City’s best-known seafood restaurants. Its menu goes well beyond fried fish, but fish and chips remain a popular choice among visitors.

The experience here is different from a quick fish-and-chips shop. Kyllo’s is a full-service seafood restaurant, making it a good option when some people in your group want fish and chips while others want something completely different.

And if you’re staying at Sea Gypsy Rentals, the location is especially convenient: Kyllo’s and Sea Gypsy sit next to one another near the mouth of the D River.

So, where should you get fish and chips in Lincoln City?

It really depends on what kind of fish-and-chips experience you’re after.

For a place that makes fish and chips the star of the show, start with Squatchsami, J’s Fish & Chips, or Pub Fish & Chips. If you want classic Oregon Coast nostalgia alongside your fried seafood, Mo’s is hard to overlook. And if you’d rather sit down for a full seafood dinner, Kyllo’s makes a fantastic choice, and it’s conveniently located right next door to the Sea Gypsy.

You could also make a pretty convincing argument for trying more than one. This is the coast, after all.

Stay near the beach at Sea Gypsy Rentals

After you’ve eaten your way through Lincoln City’s fish and chips, you won’t have far to go to get back to the ocean.

Sea Gypsy Rentals sits directly on the beach at the mouth of the D River in the heart of Lincoln City. The oceanfront condos have full kitchens and direct beach access, plus an indoor heated pool and sauna.

Whether your Lincoln City plans revolve around beach walks, glass-float hunting, seafood, or doing as little as possible while staring at the Pacific, Sea Gypsy gives you an oceanfront home base right in the middle of it all.
