Garibaldi’s Hook, Line ‘n Sinker, Sports Bar and Grill

Amazing food and service! Who would expect a sports bar and grill having an executive chef? New menus, serving fresh local seafood! 10 big screen TV’S ! Must look at food pictures! Weekend dinner specials are awesome!

This is much more than just a sports bar. It has very good sports bar food but the specials are great! The Friday streak and shrimp is a must, and the Sunday penned pasta Alfredo with salmon is out if this world
! The food presentation is that of a high end restaurant. (my wife even takes pictures of the plates before she eats her meal). The chef, Sean, is a retired executive chef from a big restaurant who has come to our area for the summer to fish and cook. Don’t let the atmosphere of the restaurant dissuade you from ordering the higher end specials. They are delicious and beautifully plated — an expression of his talents!

We were staying in Rockaway Beach and looking for a place to watch the Copa America USA game. The Hook Line and Sinker was the fourth call we had made and after a string of no’s from other local bars they said «sure! We have 10 TV’s and can totally make sure you can watch it»
Super friendly service from everyone when we walked in and it just continued from there.
Good selection of local microbrews on tap.
Amazing dinner special of salmon with blackberry reduction sauce! It was delicious and totally not expected from a «sports bar»
I would definitely go back and recommend to my friends and family.
They also allow kids. which I didn’t have with me at the time but good to know for future.

The last time me and my wife were here in Garibaldi was July 2013. We were staying at the Garibaldi suites across the street. I really wanted to stop by Garibaldi’s hook, line, n sinker to check it out, but unfortunately at that time, we didn’t get the chance. Now it’s 2016 and here we are. We thought it would be a fun place to stop and check out. What a surprise, «excellent food and good beer». We got two of the night’s dinner specials. Lg rib eye steak with shrimp scampi, mash potatoes, veggies, and a great salad. The wifey had the salmon with all the fixings too. Everything was prepared perfect. Yum Yum ! The service and the hospitality made you feel right at home. So glad we stopped by. Good memories on the road.

Didn’t know what to expect when we walked in around 8pm friday night. It seems like a regular sports bar for locals until I saw the menu. They had deep fried chicken gizzards! Of course I had to try them and it was delicious.
This place is not very big but plenty of seating and the bartender is pretty friendly and I definitely had a relaxing time chilling with my family by the bar area. Now. it is all fried bar food and I truly enjoyed them. The fried seafood platter was incredibly fresh and and did I say the chicken gizzard was wonderfully delicious? For the bonus feature, they had a pretty decent beer selection on tap so you can enjoy watching sports while eating your dinner.
It is a cute little place I definitely would go back again.

This place is great! Natalie is the best!
Enjoy good food and cheap drinks with great service!
By coincidence, we were here on a Monday. They had Taco Night along with Monday Night Football. Too much fun!
We were from out-​of-​town and Natalie took our picture. We had it framed because we had such a good time!

What a fun and welcoming atmosphere, great food and drinks. New ownership has done wonders for this place. Cannot recommend it more.
My first stop anytime I’m in Garibaldi.

This place has really good fried clams.
We didn’t like the chowder but that’s ok as we really liked the clams!!!
Good beer, cheap drinks. $ 1 tacos on Thursday after 5.

Last nite we started with the clam chowder that was hands down the best I ever had on the west coast. That is huge coming from a New Englander. We then had the fish and chips, the breading was so light and golden brown that complemented the moist and flavorful fish. I am not a fan of fries but there was none left on my plate as they were cooked to perfection. The entire meal was served steaming hot with a staff of polite and friendly people. We found our west coast seafood connection.
A must eat when at the coast

We arrived at our hotel across the street at 8:30 p.m. on Sunday night, and most dinner places were already closed. We ended up eating here for the sake of convenience. We received a friendly greeting from the bartender/​cook upon arrival. The place wasn’t busy at all. There were a few guys drinking at the bar watching sports, and then some locals came in (friends of the waitress?) and took a table in the back.
I ordered a glass of wine that tasted oxidized and was undrinkable. I decided to switch to an IPA rather than have them open a new bottle of wine just for me, but when I asked the waitress/​bartender which of the three listed on the chalkboard tasted the hoppiest, she said she didn’t know because she never tastes the stuff. Nevertheless, she offered to give me three tastes in shot glasses, so that worked out well.
My husband’s broasted chicken and potatoes was pretty good, though it tasted like they’d been using the same oil all day. My fish and chips was just okay. For $ 14 I got two smallish pieces of breaded cod, ordinary French fries, and a couple bites of coleslaw. The tarter sauce tasted like plain mayo from a jar with a dash of lemon juice. Meh. It satisfied my hunger, but I’ve had so many better meals.

Top 5 burgers of my life… just what the doctor ordered (I am calling myself the doctor tonight)
Great customer service on a Saturday night on the oregon coast. I am here to fish… but next time I am through I will stop for another awesome burger… Samuel Jackson would be proud of this tasty burger.
Great value, good libations, and good music.

I am frankly shocked that this place is rated so highly. My family and I came here after a day of exploring Garibaldi. Our waitress seemed very friendly, but also really scattered. She kept forgetting things that we had asked for. Also, she would come over and refill one of our drinks, but leave everyone else’s empty.
We started off with appetizers which came out quickly but were mediocre. They were clearly frozen and not fresh. We then ordered three burgers and a wrap. The food took FOREVER to get out to us. When it finally came, it was decent but they only brought three of our meals, my poor boyfriend had to wait an additional ten to fifteen minutes for his meal which apparently the cook had forgotten to make.
Also, after our food came, our waitress and the rest of the wait staff came over every five to ten minutes to ask how we were doing. Now, I’m all for good customer service, but it seemed excessive and was actually starting to make us uncomfortable.
The food here was edible, but for the most part nothing special. I do have to say, the one highlight of the experience was the wrap, which was huge and quite tasty! But the service was not the greatest. I probably wouldn’t return.

Really good basic pub food. Service is good. Food is a tiny bit slow, but worth the wait. I enjoyed the mushroom Swiss burger and my wife liked her blt. Yummy fries. Small town pub feel but family friendly.

Just passing through Garibaldi, OR. for the night and had dinner at Hook, Line and Sinker. Super great service. Nice ambiance.
Friendly staff. But the broasted chicken was the best I have had in a very long time. You won’t be disappointed! The teriyaki burger and sweet potato fries were top notch.
Suggest a must stop if you are hungry and passing through Garibaldi on your coastal journey.

We needed a place to eat on the way to Tillamook cheese factory so we stopped here on a whim. It’s small inside and very dark. It’s more of a sports bar-​type of place.
Our waitress was super sweet and friendly. The food took a while to come out but there was a big party of about 10 waiting to be served as well.
The food was okay, the burgers were pretty tasty but didn’t have pink in the middle like we asked. The sweet potato fries were a little soggy.
I will say that the portions were huge :).
Great place to eat for lunch, and easy to find.

Taco Night!:) — every Monday & Thursday evenings! Can’t beat the price,. Atmosphere,.& great customer service!
Barb & Natalie ROCK!

Our normal post beach place was closed, and given the reviews we decided to try Hook Line ‘n Sinker. It was my wife and two kids. This is a bar. It has the atmosphere of a bar, but minors are allowed, at least till 9 PM. We took a seat.
The building is old. The floors are not level. Eating on an uneven table with kids is a like asking for trouble. On the plus side, they have a bunch of games and activities for kids. Playing pin ball with my boys was a lot of fun, particularly while drinking a beer. I liked hanging with my kids in a bar, and they thought it was the best.
The food is where Hook, Line ‘n Sinker falls flat. The entrees for adults are in the $ 12-​$ 14 range, the kids meals were $ 4 each. Now that may or may not be a problem. My wife had the cod fish and chips (at a steep $ 14 for cod) and I had the fried cod wrap special. The boys had grilled cheese.
The grilled cheese were in bad shape, half almost burned, the other half partially melted cheese. The fish and chips was worth maybe half what they are charging, and really wasn’t very good. My special came out with a small bag of chips in stead of fries. Now the special was also $ 12. Now that just seems crazy pricing wise to me. As it turned out, the fries were not good though. We are a fry loving family, and all the plates were full of fries afterwards. My special wrap was large, and was good, but should have cost $ 7-​$ 8 range.
Our server was well meaning, but seemed to make a lot of trips back and forth because she would forget stuff. Nice enough, stopped by to check on a reasonable schedule. She was friendly and thought the boys were adorable.
All in all, the food is the big failing of this place. It is overpriced and not worth the money. Unlikely we will be back, I lost major husband points for picking this place. I like playing pinball with my kids, and I am happy to report that we suffered no GI distress, I believe the food to be safe, but just not worth the money.

Stopped in on a weekend, Sat 4÷11÷15. It was only a mother and daughter team. The one lady was running around and taking care of anyone and, yes it took a little bit, but she had a bad knee and the daughter had just started working (first job).
When we came in, it was packed. We ordered the broasted chicken (which was delish by the way). We knew what we were up against and anyone that complains about service when it’s only one person and training a person is ignorant if you know the industry. If you know the situation up front and can’t wait, then don’t wait! Personally, think it was worth the wait, when we came in, we were not in any hurry and we were glad to have the experience we did. We ordered the broasted chicken which is soo worth it and you know you are going to wait for broasted chicken. come on! The chicken was juicy and flavorful.
If you have young ones, plenty of things for them to do, games, video games and a pinball machine. So there is something for everyone. My best advice for you, be patient wherever you go, you just never know the situation. I mean sure I understand if you are blatently ignoring someone, but someone who cares will acknowledge you, and you may have to wait a bit, but good things come to those who wait.
There is the video poker machines or whatever here and the place is fairly spacious. I woudld definitely come back. keep up the good work!

Really enjoyed my meal here. Nice place, clean and inviting. Only had some wings which was the special but, they were very good. Some celery and/​or carrots would have been nice. As a special for the night at $.50 ea, I understand why it’s not included. Enjoyed some banter with the staff and a couple locals who were inviting.
I think you should give this place a try.

This place is great. If you’re in garibaldi for some reason (groupon) you should definitely come here! Bartender Jordan was super humble when I ordered a cocktail he didn’t know how to make; he simply asked for help in making it, and then gave me a discount for increasing his mixologist credentials.
The owner Becky was straight out of waltons. Super nice and great to chat with. A boisterous local asked for Crown on the rocks, but Becky realized she was out. What does she do?
RUNS ACROSS THE STREET, MID SHIFT AND BUYS A BOTTLE OF CROWN! Unprecedented :)
Overall super friendly and welcoming. Don’t be in a rush though… take your time to enjoy Garibaldi’s Hook, Line, and Sinker!

There aren’t a lot of choices for places to dine right in Garibaldi and we were so tired after hiking all day we opted to just walk across the street from our hotel and give this place a try. Based on checking Unilocal I knew it would be hit or miss as to whether the food and service would be good. Sadly, we were there on an off night on both accounts.
Our service was beyond slow and inattentive. We stood around for a while waiting for someone to notice us and then decided it’s probably a seat-​yourself kinda place. Okay, fine. But then we sat there and sat there. 10 minutes pass and the two servers are helping other tables right around us and no one stops. The drinks took another 10 minutes to come over (just soda, nothing fancy). Once we ordered our meals the food came out quick but neither of us thought the food was that good, either. I had fish and chips and they tasted funny, like the fry oil was old. The Hubs had a burger and didn’t even finish it. It took quite some time to flag a server down to get the check and then no one came back for it so we walked up to the bar to pay.
