    Onion rings and a lady giving us a dirty look because we were having too much fun.
    Raymond H.

    Saw multiple sea lions frolicking just below us out the window! Incomparable views at this place. Starting to be a road trip tradition for us. Perfect spot to take a family. Not the least bit pretentious. Service was fantastic. Genuine, down to earth people.

    Chain restaurants can be hit or miss, so I was pleasantly surprised with the quick service, cleanliness, and delicious food at Mo's. I ordered the Crispy Fried Shrimp entree which came with a cup of clam chowder and fries. The side of cocktail sauce complemented the shrimp perfectly, and the fries were piping hot and crispy as well. To top it off, the restaurant offers gorgeous views of the Columbia River. Be sure to stop by Mo's if you're in the area!

    Views were great. Service was very nice and knowledgeable. Chowder was good, not the best I've had but good. I wish it had more "chunks". The only real thing I could tell were the potatoes. Bread was dry. With the chowder, it was good! But not great by itself. Mario berry cobbler was great! The pastry on top was great. Just wish there was more

    Now I have been to ALL the MO's restaurants. A beautiful site to relax, have lunch and watch the ships go by. A tad windy today so we got a window seat inside and didn't miss a thing! Abby was our server, had a very pleasant experience with her. The beer was cold, clam strips good, cod platter good as was the bouillabaisse special. The Marion Berry cobbler/vanilla ice cream was to die for. Have a great selection of souvenirs to choose from.

    This place is really cute from the moment you walk in. The ambiance is perfect! The service was great, they were super friendly. The food to me was alright. The clam chowder was good. I did get the fish tacos and those were good. I do wish they had more seafood options though or if the menu had more to offer.

    I have been going to Moe's since I was a kid and now I'm bringing my kid. Growing up we always went to the SIletz bay location but now as an adult we frequent the Astoria location. The food is always consistent. The service is usually on point and the atmosphere is what you would want. There is a pretty view almost anywhere you sit. I am very nostalgic for Moe's, it never disappoints us. I believe Moe's to be falling into a new food trend specifically in the Northwest, where it has became underrated as a great place, because so many people say its overrated. It's not. Its a great classic seafood restaurant. Great chowder, great fish and shrimp. Our family loves the grilled cheese. Highly reccomend getting that and dumping it in some chowder.

    We had a really good dinner here. While not as good of chowder as what they had years ago, it was still good. We had really good service and were able to sit outside on the water. This place has great views!

    Food was ok. We were kinda not in the mood for seafood that day so my daughter and I ordered chicken sandwiches and they were definitely chicken strips from their kids menu that is repurposed for the sandwich. It tasted fine. The fish tacos looked really good, I think I would get that if I came back. Service was good but food was slow, it took a while. Restaurant reminds me of Joe's Crab Shack.

    a cup of chowder to go!

    Usually when my family and I hit the coast, we like to stop at Mo's since it's always been one of our favorites for chowder. Over the years, we've noticed the food at some locations (like Seaside and Cannon Beach) has lost a bit of flavor, so we weren't sure what to expect this time. Yesterday was our first time visiting the Astoria location, and it was such a great experience! The food was delicious, the staff was super friendly, and the views by the water made it even better. We'll definitely be coming back whenever we're in the area!

    Best clamp chowder ever! No seriously. The rest of the food was good and the view of the Columbia is great. Beet is cold and the service was speedy and friendly. See our YouTube channel Coolest Life.

    I had originally wanted the Mexican restaurant that was nearby, but somehow ended up in the parking lot for Mo's - it was cold and rainy and what else is more perfect on a day like that than fish and chips? Inside, I discovered something I was unaware of that I needed in my life - a banana slug plush! I was seated rather promptly with a great view of the water! The waiter I had was attentive, and prompt. Not a long wait at all. There was a lovely couple seated at the table next to me and I had a lovely chat with them. I had the fish and chips and they were so delicious! I'd highly reccomend Mo's!

    Our family has been Mo's customers for several generations. I'm a simple chowder and homemade bread person, and location to location the consistency of the food is tremendous. Quiet night at the Astoria location on a Wednesday in Mid-November an hour before close. Was well taken care of by the staff. And an amazing view, even in the evening.

    Stopped in for afternoon bay shrimp cocktail. Delicious. Everyone was very friendly. Great view of the Columbia River in a diner environment. They've added many gluten free items to their menu!

Downstairs is an open kitchen with a few tables in the front room. I do think that if they didnt have a big communal table, they could rearrange the tables to get a few more for extra service. Upstairs is a bar and a few more tables. They also sell some nice restaurant branded merchandise. There is a chalkboard menu on the wall with daily specials and market prices. I ordered the Salad with Dungeness Crab. I loved the freshness and all the combined flavors. My husband had the fresh fish tacos and they were very fresh and full of fresh cooked fish. The clam chowder was a little weak in flavor and lacking clams so I would probably skip it next time. The fish and chips is their signature dish and everyone was ordering it. This place is definitely a dining gem!

Service: waitress may be a little overloaded so, she was quite slow to show up after we were seated. She took the order with warmth and enthusiasm. She did not return to check if we needed anything after the food was served. There was an older gentleman (may be the owner) who showed us to our seats and was particularly concerned about our experience at the store. It was a nice touch. Ambiance: nice soft lighting, noise level was moderate. I consider this place good enough to eat my meal comfortably and able to enjoy the foods without too much noise.

    No! This place was…read morereally disappointing. Came here based on reviews, but I. would caution anyone to steer clear of this place. It started with flat champagne drinks. That's just a fail, and it suggests a place that doesn't bother keeping things fresh. It kind of went downhill from there. We were looking for nice fresh fish and chips, wile we were out along the coast. We live near the coast ourselves, and are no strangers to good seafood. We decided to do the Cod and the Halibut fish and chips. While the halibut seemed fresh, the cod was waxy and looked old, and frankly i found it somehow mildly nauseating. I couldn't bring myself to teat it. The batter was crsipy, but lacked seasoning and tasted really flat (cardboard?). Aside from that, the coleslaw seemed pretty old soggy. Gross. Not impressed at all - some of the worst fish and chips I have ever had. Some people may like this kind of food - but i will actively avoid this place the next time in Astoria. Hard pass. i'm nauseous just thinking back to my experience here. Could hardly get away fast enough...

    To start with, I had a really hard time finding this place because the building and signs are…read moredifferent than what is available online. The halibut was soft and wet rather than dry and meaty. The crab louie salad was underwhelming in both size and flavor. We spent over $60 and didn't feel like we got much. So what is the name of this place?

January sounded like a slower season for them, which showed since we were the only diners that evening. Honestly, it made the experience even more special. The waiter, who was also the bartender, was incredible. Unfortunately, we did not catch his name, but he was working on January 10th and did a fantastic job. He was attentive, welcoming, and genuinely great at what he does. On to the food. We started with the fresh baked bread and Brussels sprouts. I never thought Brussels sprouts could steal the show, but these were packed with flavor and absolutely delicious. I ordered the linguine, and my boyfriend had the filet with crab and hollandaise sauce. Both dishes were outstanding and truly next level. The vibe of the restaurant was perfect. Very chic and sophisticated, which felt ideal for celebrating an anniversary. We actually loved that it was quiet because it felt like all the attention was on us. We will definitely be back!
