    Brisket sandwich and fries were amazing! Will definitely return any time we are in the area!

    Amazing brisket sandwhich and fries! Would drive to the area just for it! Staff was super friendly

    Best brisket Sammy, this side of the Mississippi.

    This was our first visit here and we were very impressed with the food, staff and decor. The beef brisket sandwich was the best I've had and my wife said the same about her brisket chili dog. We will definitely be back!

    This is what the restaurant looks like

    Stopped in here for lunch after coming back home from Long Beach. Really nice atmosphere.. friendly service. The food was really really good! I had the brisket sandwich with the mac and cheese and it was simply delicious! I would definitely come back here again. I tried the blooming onion and it was awesome. Much better than that other place.

    This new spot in Astoria boasts pitsmoked BBQ, Artisan Burgers, and Goondocks hospitality. We had lunch and had to take about half home. My fresh housemade pasta side instead of fries was a great fresh option. Heather and John have done an amazing job at creating a new iconic restaurant in Astoria. With a nod to the Goonies, fans young and old poured in today. Highly recommend!!

    The fish and chips here were outstanding. It was high quality black cod with a crispy, golden…read moreshattering-shell tempura type crunch, very flavorful. I'd have to say that bite for bite the fish itself might be the best in the county by a hair, but the full entree lags just behind Battery 245 and Ship Out in terms of fry / coleslaw quality, aesthetics, and overall value. But neither of those places are on the Astoria waterfront with million dollar views, so that's to be expected. If you're craving fish and chips with a view in downtown Astoria, don't hesitate to order them here, the fish was phenomenal.

When we got our menus and the waiter came, I asked about the sides that we can order because those were on the menu. The waiter said, well, we can pretty much make anything a side. That wasn't very helpful. We took a while to decide. When we came back, he pushed us to order something, so we did. I order a salad with salmon. My daughter order veggie kabobs and her best friend ordered a loaded potato. The food 30 minutes to get out. My daughter friend started drinking her soda and it had no carbonation. When the food came, my salmon was cold - it was precooked and just taken out of the fridge straight to the salad. The loaded potato wasn't fully cooked. The kabobs - some of the potatoes were super mushy, while others were fully cooked through and they tasted like lemons. Very tart. Some of the veggies weren't cooked - it was like eating raw veggies - this meal costed $30. When I mentioned this to the waiter, he had a very confused faced. He then stated, I thought I pressed the carbonation button with the soda... huh.. I've worked in the restaurant industry for years. I know that's not how that works. The waiter took off the drinks from the bill - $6.00 and nothing else was said or done about the undercooked food. Very disappointed all around and will never go back again after that.

So I'm from Los Angeles and So Cal has no shortage of places to get a breakfast burrito and different types. Wagyu steak, pastrami, basterma, pork belly on top of the basics sausage, bacon or ham. From the basics to the exotic. I would say most are eggs, potatoes, some bacon or sausage, and cheese. It's an American breakfast in a tortilla. I happened to be in Astoria for work and was a little early for a meeting. As I stood there outside City Hall, I was watching people come and pick up an order from this place. Hmm must be good. Mitty, the burrito expert himself, would even run out to hand over an order once in a while. Must be good and good service. Do I really want a breakfast burrito on my only day in Astoria? Well client told me they are really good. After my early morning meeting it was too early for lunch so decided on trying out the burrito. Reading the menu, it dawned on me that this burrito is made with a little more culinary skill than what I was expecting. Had a chance to talk to Mitty and he's exactly what you want from a proprietor: knowledgeable, really into his craft, and confident in his products. Wow wow wow. It was waaaaaay better than a lot of others I've had. First, it's not just scrambled egg in a tortilla. It's flavorful ham, with cheese and eggs infused with garlic aioli. Not dry at all. Delicious from the first bite to last. Prices are what you'd expect at a food cart in my opinion. The burrito is big enough to share but it's so good you may want to just eat it all by yourself. The ambience in this little corner was great since it's an early morning product, it wasn't crowded yet. But it fits in perfectly. Tackle Box Burrito needs to be a known spot for a truly awesome burrito. It was one of the best things I ate in Oregon for the week. What a surprise find. If you are in Astoria, go find Mitty and get one of the best burritos you will ever have.

Positives: -their prices were very good and reasonable. -you get a lot of food, great bang for your buck. It was much appreciated especially coming from California where everything still costs an arm and a leg. It's so bad in California that I would have to share with my wife when we go out to try and save money. Sure we can stay home, but we're on vacation and I want to give her a good time. In California I would have to decide between filling up my tank or going out to eat ‍ -we got the BBQ mix plate which had short ribs, teriyaki chicken, and bbq beef. Everything tasted great, I loved how the chicken wasn't too sweet. My wife loved the galbi, that's saying a lot because she's very picky with her galbi. It was just the right amount of savory and had just the right amount of fat. We also got the poke bowl, the fish wasn't too sweet very good and tasted fresh. -service was quick and friendly Ambiance: Note that this is a food truck though they gave a small covered area for rainy days and if you want to eat your food right away. It's that food. Overall 5/5 We didn't expect to find such good Hawaiian food in Astoria, can't wait to come back.

It's on property at a Shell gas station with a convenience store and Growler Guys branch. There is enough strategic parking spots for quick pick up and go. The ambiance of this spot is that there is ample outdoor seating for those brave enough to handle the weather, with most of them covered for rain protection. The service was authentic Hawaiian Style customer service. It always starts off " Whoa, what part you from"... And the conversation could go on for hours without even talking about food. Owner is from Wahiawa (Island of Oahu), his cousin helping him cook is from Waiahole (Oahu) and the daughter of the owner was taking the orders up front. The first test of any Hawaiian Comfort Food eatery is the weight of the take out container. If you need two hands to carry the package, then your in for a treat. The BBQ mix plate was on-point. The Teri-Beef had the right amount of sweetness and juicyness making it a must try for any first timer trying Hawaiian comfort food or former Kamaaina, craving for Island grinds. When people travel along the Oregon Coast, Fish & Chips or seafood is always on top of the eating bucket list. However, you may want to add Tuimato's to that bucket list, for belly satisfaction and enjoying a little bit of Hawaiian Style hospitality.
