"In 2017, Cassie Hamilton pulled up her converted floating houseboat restaurant from Winchester Bay and moved the operation to nearby Coos Bay. Dry-docked on northbound Highway 101, the Boat attracts flocks of locals for fried oysters, hand-cut halibut and Alaskan cod, and a gloriously shrimptastic basket containing several kinds of prawns and popcorn shrimp served with a shrimp cocktail. Slaw, cottage cheese, or rice pilaf can be subbed for decent fries if you swing that way. Outdoor deck seating overlooks cool vintage trains and logging equipment in the Oregon Coast Historic Railway train yard next door, especially pretty adorned with lights during the holidays." - Jennifer Burns Bright
