“ Placed a pick up order leaving Costco, and was ready by the time I got there. Had the cod basket, calamari, grilled oysters, and the Prawn basket. Everything was clean, and tasted clean, no fishy smells or taste, batter was good, evenly seasoned. And the oyster were really good with the garlic topping. Saved me the drive to Brookings. Will return. ”
“ Delicious sea food. Crab cakes were a bit salty but the zesty sauce served with it masked the saltiness. Fish and chips were great! Cajun shrimps were amazing. Our waitress was very quick and efficient. The place could improve on the inner lighting and parking. ”
“ The Wharf Fresh Seafood Market & Eatery in Medford, Oregon is hands down one of the best seafood restaurants in Medford and arguably the best place to eat seafood in Southern Oregon. Despite Medford not being a coastal city, this hidden gem shatters all expectations when it comes to fresh, delectable seafood. We kicked off our culinary adventure with the North Beach Mussels in a rich, flavorful red sauce that was cooked to perfection—never rubbery, always tender. Following our server's advice, we paired them with a side of sourdough bread, perfect for soaking up every drop of that amazing sauce. Next came the crab and artichoke dip—a true treat that set the stage for the rest of our meal. Unlike many seafood spots that skimp on the crab, this dip was generously loaded, making it a delectable, super tasty starter that had everyone raving. (Apologies for the photo of the dip missing a bite or two—we just couldn’t wait to dive in!) Our taste buds were further delighted by the bay shrimp cocktail, served with a homemade cocktail sauce that struck the perfect balance of heat and sweetness without overpowering the shrimp. For our entrees, we indulged in both the crab and shrimp burrito and the crab and shrimp wedge salad, and needless to say, every bite was savored—there wasn’t a morsel left on our plates, even after a generous round of appetizers. To top it all off, the cocktail menu is a fun and diverse selection of drinks, offering something for every palate. We left thoroughly impressed and already planning our next visit. If you’re looking for top-notch seafood that defies expectations in Medford, make sure to stop by The Wharf Fresh Seafood Market & Eatery—you won’t be disappointed! ”
“ Absolutely phenomenal food. Granted it was on a mother's day so the wait time was high but it was well worth it. Ordered the surf and turf, steak rare and it was rare. The lobster was buttery and delicious. Veggies could have used a bit more time in the pan but still delicious. ”
“ Came over from KF and has a fun coastal vibe. Sat on their beautiful patio, great service. Love hearing the fountain, very relaxing. Wasn’t busy, noon hour. Everything on the menu looks/sounds delicious. Ordered and loved their clam chowder & coconut prawns. The drink called the Trident is wonderful and refreshing. Also tried the Coral Reef, delicious. My uncle had the cod tacos which he loved. They were bigger than I expected. On another visit we tried all the happy hour menu and everything was “chefs kiss!” So wonderful. We’ll be back each time we’re in the area! Park across the street in church parking lot if all their front spots are taken. ”
“ Only beatable if your on the coast. They have a real good lobster sandwich and their fish n chips isn't bad. Service was good especially for how busy they were. Both indoor and outdoor seating ”
“ Oysters and Chips!?! Where else does one have this among a great list other seafood? And yes it was great. This establishment has everything going for it. Funky atmosphere, service exactly right, and a menu full of seafood for every taste. A new find for me to replace some who have lost their focus. If you’re close or even not so close get there. ”
“ This place is terrific for seafood. I was skeptical, but after trying out the cod, halibut, and crabcakes, they have pretty good food. They have several different areas for seating. They have a fresh deli type display. You can buy fresh oysters and mussels plus other seafood like snapper cod and rockfish from. Take it home and cook it up just the way you like it. Or sit down and they will do all the cooking. This place is a fun restraint that's ALWAYS busy. That means GOOD FOOD... ”
