    There are three reasons to come here: 1) fries and fry sauce 2) Lime rickey 3) cheese curds. Burgers are fine and so are other items but the fry sauce is definitely the star of the show. Miss having these in the Portland area.

    Fries( $3.79) and a 1/4 pound Mushroom Swiss Burger.($7.49).

    Arctic Circle is pretty good. The young people at the drive thru are friendly and helpful. It is one of those small town burger and ice cream joints. It originated in Utah I think so there is fry sauce, which the kid especially loves. We have had fish and chips, burgers, shakes, sundaes, a grilled chicken sandwich, cheese curds, onion rings, milkshakes,hot dogs,tater tots, mini tacos (we do not recommend these), and chicken strips. We have fed the boyfriend and other friends here. Because 19-23 year olds can eat. A lot. The kid has landed on the junior bacon cheeseburger as the favored order. I have liked my mushroom swiss burger the best overall. We may have been there a few times because we don't really do the usual drive thru suspects and there is no Burgerville. Last time we got milkshakes, and my peanut butter cup shake had huge pieces of the candy in it. Well, cool.

    A rare find! I haven't seen one of these in years. We were on our way home from Yachats and spotted this location. So cool. I remember going to one of these in Portland growing up. It's been many, many years. We used the drive-thru. The employee was patient and helpful. It took us a while to peruse the menu. We ended up getting the halibut sandwich, cheese curds, hot dog, and a vanilla malt shake. Everything was delicious! The halibut sandwich was surprisingly fresh and meaty. I would totally order it again. My husband really liked his hot dog. The frank itself was split in half lengthwise. He liked the mayo, mustard, relish, and onions on top. The cheese curds were cooked perfectly... not greasy at all. Overall, we were pleasantly surprised by our fast food experience. We'll definitely stop in again the next time we're in Newport! Highly recommend.

    I ate the halibut so fast. I couldn't get a picture.

    This place is SUPER clean, amazing service and the food: shef's kiss. The halibut is the best I've ever had and I don't normally like fish!

    The mighty country chicken sandwich

    Behold the country chicken sandwich with cheddar cheese. (Which country is that, Russia? ). Worst. Chicken. Sandwich. Ever. I laughed, took some pictures, laughed some more and then threw it in the trash.

    Strawberry and Root beer!

    This review is for their dessert. * We drove thru for a much needed cool down. This place has been around for many years and I believe it's either the only location left in Oregon lor one of two left in Oregon. Ice cream is probably my favorite dessert. The twist cones are a hit! Decent size. Strawberry root beer seemed unique so I went it off my normal vanilla and I'm so glad I did! Every lick made my taste buds dance. Don't pass this place up for their ice cream! I'll be back for their burgers next time I'm in town. The sundae was also delish!

    Cheese curds with ranch

    Super Great employees very fast and friendly. Kid's meal was very big and tasty with ex white sauce on my burger and hot fresh fries. Cheese curds were good sized and hot had a ranch with them. Thanks from Hillsboro or.

    Was in a hurry between family obligations so decided to grab some fast food here as I wouldn't have an opportunity to eat again for awhile. Ordered a pastrami burger and a chocolate chip milkshake. I was given a number and had a seat in the dining area - my food was delivered within five minutes. The burger was medium-well and the pastrami was decent quality. The melty cheese and the fresh tomato, lettuce, etc. made it an above average fast food burger. The fries were good - crisp exterior and soft inside. The milkshake was fantastic. They offer a huge number of flavors. My vanilla shake with tiny chocolate chips was thick (they serve it with a spoon) and had a mind-blowing amount of chips. I took it with me and it quickly became straw-suckable in the day's heat. By the time I finished the shake there was a mound of chocolate chips in the bottom; a delicious surprise for a person with a sweet tooth.

It was my 2nd Mo's exprience because the first one was in Cannon Beach. I worked at the hotel right next to it. I remember good food and chowder. I brought my daughter and niece here for lunch. They are students at the university in Eugene. I wanted them to experience the original Mo's and have some good food. The chowder is good. We all ate it up. I had fish tacos. It came with 3 big tacos, so come hungry. We also ordered a side of onion rings. I have to say that it was probably one of the better ones we've had in a long while. We really enjoyed our visit here and the waitress we had was awesome. She was super busy because she was also waiting on a big party but she never forgot to check on us.

As a pro tip, you should always order a side of sliced sourdough bread to go with it; it is the perfect pairing for that creamy goodness. For beverages, they have about a dozen flavored sodas to choose from, and I always get the Cherry Bomb from that list. Other favorites from their menu are the oyster shooters, their famous popcorn shrimp, and The Crew Share. Service is always quick and friendly, whether you are dining in or ordering for takeout. The location offers a variety of seating, including cozy indoor options as well as side and front patio seating for when the weather is nice. If you want to take the experience home, they also have fresh steamed Dungeness crab and a wide variety of other seafood for sale to go as well! You truly can't go wrong when stopping in here for lunch or dinner.

It looks like the salmon dish my husband got had cheese on top (allergy) so I'm guessing we asked for it without the cheese after I snapped a photo and we noticed the cheese. There's a chance it's not cheese, but it looks like cheese... and goat/sheep cheese doesn't seem likely (he can have those... just not cow cheese). My fried oysters & chips meal was good but quite heavy. I think I decided to try the grilled version next time if we return.

The second time, still Door Dash, was somewhat better but it was for 2 people for about $60. Go in person. Door dash and their fees, ugh. They have a variety of tortas, quesadillas, breakfast burritos, bagel sandwiches, and paninis. They also have elotes, mangonadas, juices, smoothies, and shakes. One drawback is a lack of cookies or desserty type treats on the delivery menu. Still everything has been fresh and yummy. Their prices and choices seem a little better in person, to be honest. We have gotten mostly paninis and the first time my kid's boyfriend got an amazing looking torta milanesa. We like the paninis with the slices of refreshing apple. My kid , an elotes/ esquites/street corn expert, really liked their elotes. This time the elotes didn't make it into the bag, sadface, so Door Dash refunded it.
