Went to Oregon to visit friends and stopped in to the Driftwood Restaurant for lunch. Nice establishment on the main street with indoor/outdoor seating and pet friendly. Didn't want to order a big lunch, so I had the Calamari appetizer with a Nut Crusher Peanut Porter (from Wild Ride Brewing Company). Very good meal, friendly service and casual atmosphere. read more

This restaurant was okay. I honestly expected better. We had fish and chips (decent but nothing to write home about), a burger (very meh), and a prime rib sandwich (good but not outstanding). Ours was not a terrible experience but it wasn't great. For a restaurant in Cannon Beach and for the prices, we deserved great. read more

Great beer selection. Really good food. Nice ambience and great service. Went there a couple of times. read more

Stopped by here after a great day at the beach, place had a great patio area, even though it was hot it was still a nice place to have dinner. Pet friendly as well! Staff are super friendly and on top of everything. Came here for the Calamari and it was cooked perfectly! They had a special of Prime Rib and couldn't decline it. Huge piece of steak cooked perfectly medium rare, with a nice potato on the side was a perfect way to end the day. read more

We finally got into this place. We have seen it for years, but always too busy with long wait times. It is first recommended place by everyone. I'm not sure why. The outside space is nice when weather good. I thought the lottery machines a bit tacky. The food was the biggest disappointment. We ordered shrimp cocktail 3/5, Caesar salad 3/5, fried oysters 3/5, grilled salmon 3.5/5, and Marion berry cheese cake 3/5. Nice wine pours. read more

We made our way to one our favorite places to go on the coast. It's been a while. However anytime we have friends headed that way we send them here. When we lived in the Portland area we would make many trips to Cannon Beach and Driftwood was always a must for clam chowder. A few times it was known for us to bring a thermos to fill to go. I got to not only enjoy my clam chowder this visit but a wonderful Shrimp Louis. read more

I came here with my boyfriend while in town. We ordered the crab cocktail to share. I got a class of red wine an he opted for a cider. We ordered the shrimp Louie salad. I made modifications to mine to ensure it was dairy and gluten free. Our waitress was super helpful in ensuring the kitchen could accommodate. Overall a decent meal read more

Driftwood Restaurant & Lounge - Crab cocktail - Lounges Near Me - Cannon Beach, Oregon

The food was good . I say I would like it to be gluten free. Steak French fries salad . I would have like to substitute salad for fries but the waitress insisted it came with fries . And no croutons but then the steak came and it had a big lump of bread on top .gluten free it wasn't. She wasn't happy the couple next to me wanted my bread . Don't know why? They hadn't ordered yet . I DID like their salad it was not just fluffy greens it had so romaine and maybe a bit of iceberg which we like !!! The ranch was good too ! I LIKE CHEESE on my salad so the waitress brought me some cheese!! It could have used a little onion on the side of the salad. Just me though. The steak was cooked perfectly med rare !!! Pavo!! I one suggestion is let people choice (potato) fries or salad or soup . Maybe make that part separate meat then add a side or two . The outside seating is very nice and by sitting at the fire we got to know haha a neighbor from Washington haha !! read more

We had fast seating on the deck but it was a Tuesday in early summer. If you're going on a weekend or in the busy part of summer, get a reservation or get on the waitlist early. Food was really good relative to Cannon Beach, but the food overall in Cannon Beach isn't great. So, 3-4 for food and 4-ish for ambience depending on where you get a seat. read more

The food here has NO flavor. Second time here both the same. Do not come. Not worth it. Nothing had any flavor at all. So bland.

Food was Meh. Somehow we managed to order some chicken fettuccine., Add a salad and soup and dessert. And spend over 70 bucks before tip.

The food is decent, and service is too. Probably one of the better restaurants in town. The food is good, but the atmosphere, the outdoor seating is what you come here for. And the patio is dog friendly! read more

Let's start with the drinks. Huckleberry lemonade was very good but could've used a little more alcohol. The cider and wine was 10/10. Appetizers: oysters laid their lives down for our meals and it was well worth it. Very very good and fresh! Dinner: The halibut could not have been more light and fresh. The first bite came just as fast as the last. Very very good as well. If you like seafood but want to try something that's not shrimp or salmon, get the halibut. Now the filet. This was very good but one of the three was a little more rare than preferred. The bread and potato could not have been better perfectly baked and overall amazing. Desert: raspberry cheesecake: this was a late addition but as you can see I could not even get a picture before my well fed booty took a bite but this was so quick to enter my tummy and be devoured. Would bring my mom here and she can be really picky. read more

We had a great meal. I had the Salmon and baked potato. The portions were generous and cooked just right. She had the Ribeye Steak and said it melted in her mouth (that's because she loves steak). We were entertained by a family of Elk. Delightful. Can't say the same about the humans, but at least no one got hurt. Tip- let them know what you want, the way you want. Or, if you aren't sure ask them how it's usually served. read more

Location is highlight for this place. The outdoor patio is also very nice. The food was somewhat bland but not necessarily bad. 50/50 if we would visit again. read more

Went a little early and got seating right away. The patio is mostly covered if you want some shade. Dog friendly and let us pick the table so we could have a bit of space from other dogs. Nice and let me sub the bread for the halibut sandwich and the ciabatta was really good so happy I did that. Very generous with the amount of fish. Light batter which I prefer. My husband liked his salad. Our puppy was happy to be hanging with us and watching the other dogs. Friendly service. Clean bathroom. Decent prices as in no more than most restaurants these days. read more

Wr had dinner at Driftwood Restaurant & Lounge out last night in Canon Beach. We liked that they were open late. We out out names down and went on a walk to the beach until our table was ready. We started with drinks, got the Beach bum, and Mango Ginger Spritz. We liked both our drinks. We then got the Dungeness Crab Roll, and Pasta Primavera with Chicken. With the Dungeness crab roll, I updated the side to a bowl of clam chowder. The clam chowder was good. The Dungeness crab roll was great. The Pasta Primavera had no sauce, it was like eating dry pasta with veggies. Would definitely not recommend it. read more

I've been coming to Driftwood Restaurant for years, and I'm happy to say the food is still just as delicious as I remember. The quality has remained consistently excellent, which is hard to find these days. I was also pleasantly surprised that, despite the passage of time, the prices have only gone up a little. Great food, great quality, and great value--I'll definitely keep coming back! read more

Wish I could do 3-1/2 stars. But for the service and ambience alone I'll up it to 4. We had a warm greeting when we arrived and were seated quickly. There was a cozy fire outside that almost convinced us to sit outdoors, but since it was cold and drizzly we decided to sit inside instead. The restaurant itself felt warm and inviting. We were seated at a window table, and the interior décor was nicely done with a cozy atmosphere that made it a pleasant place to relax and eat. Our waiter was excellent. He was very helpful when we asked about local activities for the grandsons and stayed on top of drink refills and checking in on our table. Food & Drinks My daughter ordered the clam chowder in a bread bowl. She was a bit disappointed with the sourdough bread bowl, which had a strong sour taste that seemed a little off to her. She normally loves sourdough, but this one just didn't quite hit the mark. The chowder itself was decent though. I ordered the tomato soup and a salad. The tomato soup also had a strong flavor. I ended up adding a little cream from what they brought with my coffee, which helped mellow it out, but overall it wasn't the best soup I've had. Grandson #1 had a corn dog and fries and said it was good. Grandson #2 ordered a grilled cheese. Unfortunately, the bottom of it had soaked up pickle juice from the plate, so he only ended up eating about half. Would I Return? Yes, I would return, but I would probably try something different on the menu next time. And if the weather cooperates, that inviting fire outside looks like a great place to sit and enjoy the evening. read more

A beautiful day on the deck for lunch. The town was hopping but restaurant wasn't too busy yet. Had the onion rings. A bit pricey but so very good. Probably the best I've ever had. The others had clam chowder (the states best!) prawns and shrimp and all were very happy. The waiter was a young and very sweet and attentive guy. We'll keep coming back! read more

Delicious clam chowder, plentiful crab and unctuous bread on the sandos. Tasty cocktail sauce, too. The flavors and service at driftwood are top notch. We loved sitting outside under the heater in February and taking in the coastal breeze. The buoys hanging in the trees and fire pit are just the right amount of costal swag to enjoy a comfortable meal! Seriously tho the clam chowder is excellent. My mans bff spilled some stuff but we good. I look forward to coming back around soon :) read more

We ordered the crab cocktail at $33 which was served with a stem of parsley and a plastic container of cocktail sauce. Presentation and taste did not match to the price. The crab also was very salty We also ordered the Po Boy with coleslaw. It should have been called a hoagie with coleslaw ... with just 3-4 small fried oysters. No oysters in it at all... all bread. The atmosphere is great. Food, don't waste your money. Or just order a cocktail. read more

Our food was fantastic. It was very cold outside and we sat outside under the heater. We had the clam chowder in the bread bowl and we both loved it!!! read more

We had a fantastic dining experience at Driftwood Restaurant & Lounge in beautiful Cannon Beach. The atmosphere perfectly reflects the coastal setting -- warm, relaxed, and welcoming while still feeling refined. We ordered the rib eye and the halibut, and both were exceptional. The rib eye was incredibly flavorful and cooked exactly to temperature -- tender, juicy, and perfectly seasoned. The halibut was just as impressive: fresh, flaky, and cooked beautifully with balanced flavors that really let the quality of the fish shine. Our server, Steve, was attentive, friendly, and professional throughout the evening. Service was impressively fast without ever feeling rushed, which made the entire experience smooth and enjoyable. Overall, this restaurant truly delivers on both food and hospitality. We would absolutely return and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Cannon Beach and looking for a memorable meal. read more

Great service, hands down. Thank you so much Molly for being so gracious. I ordered onion rings, the crab roll, and the mango ginger spritz. My husband ordered the fish and chips. Our server suggested that I subbed my side of fries for the onion rings because my husbands fish and chips would come with a large portion of fries if I really wanted them because the platter of onion rings was a lot. I'm so glad she suggested that because it ended up being perfect!!! The drink was phenomenal, I love that restaurants are now offering non-alcoholic drinks because I've never been partial, and wow. I'll have to try and make it at home. The crab roll was a bit bland so I asked for hot sauce and that helped. Onion rings were so delicious. Fish and chips were delectable. We also got dessert. Everything was fantastic. Great experience. As we were leaving it seemed like some regulars were having a birthday and knew everyone by name, it was very cute to see. read more

Went for dinner last night. The service was great, the food was delicious and the ambiance was lovely!! We always enjoy the Driftwood and last night was no exception.

Another great meal at Driftwood yesterday. The weather was gorgeous, and on a whim we drove from Portland to Lincoln City via Cannon Beach. Nick was our server again, and the weather was simply perfect on the patio. My wife had the Mediterranean Sandwich again, and I had the Po'boy, but subbed prawns. Perfect. And the accompanying fries for both of us were crispy and hot. I also had the Pilsner on tap and it was so refreshing. Driftwood is definitely our go to restaurant for lunch. We will be back. read more

What a super fun night!!!! We had a blast and we completely recommend this place. The service was absolutely fantastic. Laurita is an absolutely incredible waitress. She had a stitches, laughing and she had impeccable timing checking on us. You can tell she really cares about her job and wants her customers to be happy. She made our first night in Cannon Beach so memorable. Rosie... who helps out with the tables... was absolutely adorable as well. She was so attentive her happiness was infectious. The wine was absolutely delicious... We bought a bottle of the Pinot Noir! We loved every drop of it. We really appreciated the late hours and the outdoor ambience was so lovely. I really took in the fact that all the customers on the patio were so polite and even somewhat quiet. Nobody was loud or rambunctious. I would come back here again... My husband's steak was melt in your mouth delicious and was cooked to perfection. Absolutely fabulous! My burger was- waaaa waaaa sad. I think the chef might've talked through cooking it... I asked for on the rare side, and it came out well done, it wasn't juicy or big. I think it might've been a frozen patty. Not sure. The menu looks absolutely delicious. Just come here and get something other than the burger. The oyster shooter was yum too! Thank you DRIFTWOOD! read more

The ribeye steak was WONDERFUL, so delicious. Fries are pretty good, ranch was good. The service was very nice, the woman who was our server was attentive and kind. The restaurant is kind of loud, but nothing outrageous or unusual considering its restaurant a lot of people seem to come to. I will return for sure! read more

On our last day in cannon beach we stopped by to have dinner at the driftwood. we started off with onion rings, that looked like where beer battered, Delicious! We also tried the chowder, was a little watery but the flavor was good! I ended up getting the cod fish and chips, which were amazing! My boyfriend had the ribeye, with garlic bread and fries, the steak was cooked to perfection! The fries were okay, nothing too special. Our server was friendly and fast, their prices are reasonable. The restaurant had a cute blast from the past with old bottles of liquor in a see through glass wall, this restaurant also has outdoor setting. read more

Service...It is clear that you cannot make ANY special requests. My wife wanted to try the ribs but only wanted a small side salad. The server made it VERY CLEAR that substitutions are ONLY limited to the prepared menue items. I ordered the pasta and shrimp. They called them prawns but they were average sized shrimp that were clearly frozen. The ribs came with a large bowl of rice and a big piece of garlic bread. The ribs were prepainted with barbecue sauce. They were dry, as you would expect fron reheated frozen food. ​my wife sent the ribs back and we shared the pasta.we will not go back. After looking at the food of the other diners, it is clear this resteraunt has little or no freshly cooked food. Every puece of garlic bread that I saw looked like it came out of a mold. They were identical and strategically staged over a bowl that was too small for them. Don't waste your time or money. read more
