North Forty in North Bend — Restaurant in North Bend

Came on a Friday night for dinner. Thought we were early enough to beat the busy time but forgot about the sip and stroll. Even still, they were plenty attentive and the service was fantastic. All the staff were great and our server went above and beyond! The building was nicely decorated and seating was nicely spaced. All seats were hard wood which was a bummer but we were optimistic.

The food, on the other hand, was just ok. Don’t get me wrong, everything we ordered was cooked perfectly and served beautifully. It was just lacking in flavor. We started with appetizers. We ordered a Korean corn dog and the Elote Croquettes. They sounded amazing on the menu and looked incredible when they arrived. Problem was, they were both super bland in taste. The chorizo had good flavor in and of itself but the thick batter muted it down. For dinner we ordered the Jamaican Salmon and the North Burger. The salmon was cooked perfectly and probably had the best flavor of all the foods we tried. Individually, the rice was decent but the curry just tasted like canned stewed tomatoes and onions. Combining the rice and curry did work better. The North Burger was cooked perfectly (medium rare) as were the fries. The biggest issue being that the burger must have been plated before resting because the bottom bun was completely soaked through before the food got to the table. The components of the burger were all great, but ultimately nothing really popped to give it any excitement. We finished with cheesecake and again, we were not impressed. The texture was more gritty like a quiche and lacked the creaminess you’d expect from a dessert. The caramel glaze was tasty but didn’t fix the texture.

Worth mentioning, the prices were affordable. A date night under $100 with 2 appetizers, 2 meals and a dessert is almost unheard of. But there was nothing good enough to lure us back to...

This is a review of the veggie burger, the mushroom swiss burger and the north forty burger. Ok first of all the service…One server working to take care of quite a few tables today 8/8/25 at lunchtime. I wish I had gotten her name but alas I did not. She was hustling the whole time we were there. She took such good care of us even though she had a lot of tables to look after. She was friendly and personable, she got the orders 100 percent correct without even writing anything down! She never made us wait, she checked on us to make sure we didn’t need anything and when we did she brought it right away. She scores a 10 out of 10. The vibe inside is a little dark and brewery themed for sure. Outside in the courtyard it was sunny and clean. We sat outside to enjoy the beautiful day. Husband had the mushroom swiss burger and he rated it a 9 out of 10. Daughter had the north 40 burger she rated it a 9 out of ten. I had the veggie burger and rate it a 9.5 out of 10. The only reason it didn’t get a 10 was it didn’t hold together amazingly but it wasn’t too bad either and it tasted sooo good!! The fact that they have a homemade veggie burger is super rare around here and made me happy! The buns: house-made deliciousness and held up throughout the whole burger eating episode! The fries: So damn good. Everyone rated them a 10, they are house cut, crispy and salty… not oily. So good! We will...

We celebrated our 33 anniversary at North Forty. Complements and suggestions from friends. The atmosphere was pleasantry rustic and clean. There is a comprehensive beer menu, but neither of us drink alcohol. The owner greeted us and was very accommodating and friendly. While the menu is limited, as a trained chef I find it is better to few thing well rather than an extensive menu. My wife had the Alfredo Pasta and I had the Braised Beef Tips over Creamy Polenta. We tried each others entrees. The Alfredo Pasta was outstanding and you’d could tell it’s homemade. The Beef Tips were amazing and extremely tender. The chef really knows her stuff and uses fresh ingredients and really makes dishes better than you’d expect. The service was friendly and professional. I also found the prices reasonable, especially considering the quality of the food. If you live in Coos Bay/North Bend, like us, or just visiting this is definitely the...
