Gladys and Abner:  Chinooks is a very consistent restaurant.  The food is always good, the service is very attentive.  Perfect for two or 12.  Large menu with choices for everyone.   

NWSource.com: “…Chinook’s has reasonable prices and there’s something for everyone - even those who aren’t big fans of fish.”

CitySearch.com: “We had a wonderful experience eating dinner here recently. The food was excellent, the waiter (Joe) was top notch and it is so kid friendly!! Highly recommend it.”

    Consistently terrific food. I've fallen in love with the seafood chili of late. The location, view, service, and food are as good as it gets for a chain operation. It's pretty much a weekly must for at least some take out.

    The BBQ shrimp appetizer with Gumbo washed down with a beer. When I' m in the mood for something else I like the Crab Alfredo and my boyfriend likes the Monday night all you can eat fish and chips. Their Rasberry scones are yummy for breakfast

    Good food, does tend to be crowded and noisy sometimes, and often has a fairly long wait for a table, but it totally depends on when you go. I really enjoyed their brunch, which I had for the first time recently.

    According to http://www.decadeonline.com/main.phtml?agency=skc, at last surprise health inspection this restaurant got 5 points, with 1 high risk violation.

    We ent recently for the all you can eat fish and chips... it was ok, the fish was kind of soggy though...

    but what is it with the breaded/extra seasoned fries? Fries should take like fries, they dont need that extra breadingl

    I usually get the BBQ shrimp w/potatoes appetizer or entree with crab gumbo and it's awesome. It's not very pricey and hits the spot. The bread goes great with the gumbo too. My boyfriend loves their all you can eat fish and chips Monday nights. Of course he does!
  • Marlin likes to see himself typing.
  • I went back to Chinook's last night and ordered the "Blue Plate Special" for $18. The Halibut was as good as always, but the portion was so small! I could have eaten two orders. If I had not eaten two baskets of bread, I would left hungry.

    The clam chowder was good, but not as good as it has been in the past. Something was missing.

    I left my hearing aids at home. So, the noise was tolerable.
  • Order the “Blue Plate Special”. It the best deal in the house, unless they still have the all the fish and chips you can eat, since my buddies and I last ate there.

    Forget about carrying on a conversation. It’s like being on the inside of a drum.

    If you want to have an intimate conversation after dinner, then drive to Palisade and get a table in the bar.
  • Noisy, but hard to beat for service and just consistently good seafood. A well operated restaurant, as you would expect from the Anthony's company.

    Have stopped ordering Halibut in Little Chinooks - just too pricey.

    How they can serve so many meals and do such an outstanding job never ceases to amaze me. Sure the menu is the same offerings but it is so varied there is something for everyone there.

    You can can have a good seafood meal for a decent price if you don't order drinks and dessert along with it!

    Wow, what can I say. This is a place to take your family for seafood. Amazing wait staff, good food, and nice view of the marina and boats. A little busy there but well worth it on a Saturday early evening!
  • Val
    I eat there a lot with family, and love it! Great staff, but sometimes the cooks are more "on" than other times. Ordering the tuna steak has resulted in overcooked tuna twice for me in the past year or so :-(
