What a great little fish shack! Great classic fish menu, reasonably priced, generous amounts, served by friendly staff. What's not to like! Seating is inside on picnic furniture or bar stools along the window. We had the fish n chips and clam chowder bread bowl....Fresh, very well prepared, filling. Highly recommend.More

A friend brought me a menu from this place the last time he ate out and would not stop talking about the tacos, I finally made it by and they were awesome! Just remember they are closed on Wednesdays right now but the owner said...they would be hopefully going to 7 days soon. I will definitely be back to try out more of the menu.More

Really great food at the Charleston marina. They offer a variety of fish dinners and burgers at very reasonable prices. If you're out that way, stop by and give them a try. You won't regret it!

We (a group of 9 ranging from 8-52) tried clam chowder all over the southern coast of Oregon on a recent trip and after every serving the whole group said "Monkey Business" is better! Friendly service and everything we tried was delicious, but go for...the clam chowder. Bring hats as there is no shade and note that they close at 6pm.More

We stumbled upon this place as the first place we tried would not allow our dog. We ordered fish tacos, fish and chips and clam chowder! I am a fish tacos but, and these were hands down the best I have ever had! Chowder was...also to die for! All the food was great and we honestly stopped there everyday for at least one of our meals. And every time they saw us they gave our 90 pound dog a biscuit! Nice picnic tables outside then you can walk over to the docks and look at shops. You need to stop here!More

Although, not real crispy, the fish was hot and tasted light and fresh. We also ordered the clams which we were happy to see were large and not from a box, but unfortunately they were really chewy. We would not getorder those again, but would...return to try other menu items as another couple said the fish tacos were really good. We were also impressed with the gentleman who was working there and appeared to be the owner. Very friendly and engaging.More

High praises go out to Tripadvisor for guiding me to Monkey Business in Charleston. The chowderhead that is me, I'm always on the hunt when visiting the Oregon Coast. Add it to a scooped out bowl of sourdough and you have my description of true...comfort food. The version from Monkey Business Food To Go is a wonderful rendition. Fresh and made from scratch it really satisfied my craving. No skimping on clams here. I highly recommend it. Owner was helpful and very courteous.More

Found this little gem while we searched for a place that served clam chowder. Not only did we get excellent chowder but amazing fish and chips. The owner/cook was super nice. We decided upon getting more chowder to go and he was very nice in...providing that for us as well. We will be back again!More

Had lunch here on one of the hottest weekends of the year. It is outdoor seating which was comfortable and clean. My sister and I both had the Fish and Chips; super delicious. Lightly battered, crispy fresh fish. Served with Crispy skinny fries, our favorite....I ordered the clam chowder and it was thick, creamy, with chunks of bacon and clams. Wait staff were so kind and polite and the chef came out and check on how we enjoyed the food. Lunch again tomorrow?? Yes!!!More
