7 Devils Brewery and Public House — Restaurant in Coos Bay

Took my son there for dinner tonight. We understood that the place is understaffed. We each decided to try one of their craft beers while we waited for our table. We stood patiently in line behind a couple and a young man. Once served, the bartender became engaged in a conversation with a person seated at the bar and ignored us. My son proceeded to step right up to the bar and make it apparent that we were in the service line. Once we had our drinks, I paid the tab and tipped the server. We went outside to wait for our table. The restaurant is lovely and the patio area is charming. We were happy to see that well behaved dogs on leashes were welcome. There was even a water dish for the four footed family members. Eventually my phone indicated a text message and our table was ready. The menu was on the table and we each scanned the selection, which seemed very limited. My son finally selected the only chicken dish. I had been hoping for crab or shrimp, perhaps even surf and turf, but the only seafood choice was tuna or oysters…not what I was craving.Actually, there were no beef or pork dishes offered. There were several vegetarian options.I inquired about the soup of the day, cream of mushroom, and decided on that. Some time later, our meals arrived. My son’s dish consisted of six chicken tenders in a really flavorful chipotle glaze with a handful of “kettle fried” potato chips. $13.50! My soup had great flavor, but no crackers or bread, so I asked about getting a piece of sourdough as an accompaniment, I was informed that I would be charged for it. Okay. No problem. A short time later the server arrived with a miniature loaf of sourdough bread which was pre-sliced. No butter, just the bread. I ate it along with my soup. $6.00 for the bowl of soup, $3.50 for the bread. We didn’t take long at all to finish our meals. Then we waited for our check…and waited. The patio was filled with folks waiting to dine. We were waiting to pay our bill and leave. In our opinion, there is room for improvement in the menu, and the servers could use some help. This has all the physical elements to be a great gastro...

The beer was ok. The food is average. The service was horrible. We came in as a group of 10. Had to wait a hour for a table, on a Thursday. Was only offered a drink menu to order drinks while waiting for our table 45 minutes into our wait. But no one came to get our drink order. We sat at the table for 15 minutes before a server came over. Then on top of it, they charged us a 18% mandatory tip. Excuse me! Tips are for service above and beyond. For those of you who have no problem with this practice, you do not understand the service industry. You do not encourage good service by charging a mandatory charge for tables of 8 or more. Our server did not try because he had a guaranteed tip on our table. So while he might have made some good money on our table that evening, the brewery will not get any future business from anyone in our party. And returning customers is what you should be striving for. So good job guys. We tried "the boat " down the street, and we will be returning to that one next time we are in town.

Oh, and we had 3 different parties paying for their meals. On 1 of the tickets, the 18% tip came to almost $40 on a $50 total bill. Not sure how the server did not catch it or how the computer messed it up so badly.

8/22. We went back for lunch. Service was much better. The tuna cakes were fantastic. The beer was good and cold. Will be back next time we are...

Went here a couple month ago. Was disappointed with the food but decided to give it another try today

First off, very over priced. I was going to get the halibut but wasn't going to spend $48 for it (plenty of other places in the vicinity that has halibut for way less and just by my first experience, probably better tasting).. I ordered the oysters today and they were AWFUL!! Super bitter. I told my server, she took it back in the kitchen, came back out and told me the cook knew what was wrong and she said she wouldn't be "pushing the oysters today".. so I asked what was wrong.. and she kept avoiding the answer. So I kept pushing the question. I told her I wanted to make sure it wasn't something that was going to make me sick. So she said she'd go ask the cook. She brought me my check and was trying to say goodbye quickly (hoping I wouldn't keep asking) and I asked again. She then told me they were fine and the cook said nothing was wrong. Completely different response than her first one. I would not recommend this place. I leave a lot of reviews for a lot places and it has to be BAD to get a bad review from me and this one definitely takes the cake. 0/0 recommended. I spent $64 on a burger, kids grilled cheese a beer and a cocktail. She took the oysters off or it would...
