Good food at not too expensive of a price point. The view from the dining area can't be beat, and you can spot Haystack Rock from your table. I enjoyed the clam chowder and loved my combination platter, which consisted of fried clams, fried shrimp and fried cod. My husband got shrimp coleslaw which he loved and is unlike anything we've had anywhere else. Overall a good experience, I would recommend it, read more

The food was good, but the view was great. The service was good. I will be back here again.

Wow...Mo's is amazing! Fantastic food, stunning ocean views, and incredible service. If the food alone doesn't make for an awesome experience, the staff's commitment and attention to detail will certainly keep you coming back. Kudos to Manager Justin N. for his leadership and assembling such a great team! To quote a Hollywood icon; "I'll be back!" read more

Very tasty clam chowder in my all time top five. Quick service for a to go order. Enjoyed this restaurant next to Cannon Beach

I would give a 4 for location and views. I'd give a 3 for the food. And 3.5 for service. We ventured to Cannon Beach and loved that this was a seafood place right on the beach. There is patio seating and indoor seating. Even if you sit inside, it full of windows and bright light so you can still view the beach! We ordered clam chowder and combination platter to split for dinner. The clam chowder was made with bacon in it which is okay - I prefer without. The fish was dried. The clam strips were my favorite. Very crispy. The batter was good. The butterfly shrimp was also tasty. Fries needed some seasoning. The fish plate was super cute. And we did add some garlic bread which was good. It was kind of like Texas toast! read more

Excellent food. Excellent staff. Excellent ocean Views. Lovely outside patio with very cool shaded umbrellas. Plentiful parking by also using beach park parking too!!! The restaurant is literally next to the beach entrance for easy beach access. Beer battered Halibut fish and chips were delicious. I had a strawberry Lemonade with an added shot of Malibu rum and it was yummy!!!! Their clam chowder is one of the best around!!!!! read more

Was wary after seeing the variety of reviews but honestly we had a great time! Our server was Angela, she was prompt and friendly. Other staff was so swift to pick up any empty plates. The food came out quick and hot and we devoured everything. My mom raved about the artichoke dip during and after the meal. The garlic parm bread the comes with the dip is so good, I could've ate the bread by itself. The chowder was delicious, Tabasco and pepper at the table already. The combo was crispy and the fries are bomb. I ordered the strawberry lemonade and it had real strawberries in it! no complaints at all, window seat to enjoy the view. I also loved at the door they had buckets and if you pick up a bucket of trash you get an IPA or a cup of chowder! This tourist attraction is a win for me! read more

Miserable food and mediocre service with the ambiance of a fast food place. if you consider commercial frozen fish sticks to be quality restaurant fare, then you may be satisfied. Otherwise, it's very overprices. read more

We came to Mo's so my husband could have a chowder bread bowl. We sat on the patio with our pup which had a great view. The drinks are actually pretty decently priced for the area. We ordered the chowder with shrimp topper and a side of fries. The fries weren't great, they were room temp and just blah - good thing they were only $2 cuz my dog ate most of them. The chowder was good, but the shrimp topper kind of took over. The service was good, our server was very friendly and quick. My husband would return and just try the chowder bowl without the shrimp. read more

I was curious as to what Mo's was because our friends that went with us to Oregon for our daughters' gymnastics competition suggested it. I looked it up and noticed that there were a few in Oregon. The closest one to where we were staying was in Newport on the Historic Bayfront. We ended up going to the one in Tolovana State Beach. We've seen it before, just never going in. We were hungry and cold from being rained on at nearby Haystack Rock. Once you walk in, there's a small gift shop that leads to the main dining room. This dining room is large and has an AMAZING view of Cannon Beach!!! I ordered their famous Clam Chowder bowl. It was large! All of our food were served on these cute fish-shaped plates. My wife ordered their Impossible Burger and the kids ordered regular cheeseburgers. Mo's is famous throughout Oregon as a seafood restaurant. I recently read a book on the history of Mo's and fell in love with it even more after our visit! I will definitely be back but want to visit the Newport locations. They have 2 across the street from each other- the main restaurant across from the water and the Mo's Annex which is next door to the Newport Deep Sea Fishing office that's on the water. read more

Ooof the worst meal I had around the Cannon Beach area. It was a bad start from the beginning when their online ordering system didn't work and nobody picked up the phone. For a takeout order and such a short trip back to the hotel down the road, the food was cold which makes me think it was barely hot to begin with. The clam chowder was gritty and oily, where you could skim a quarter inch layer of oil off the top. Their cannonball bread bowl was basic like a cheap sourdough. The combo basket was nothing to write home about in flavor, especially when it was cold. The service was sleepy. The summer job-kids at the front door were nonchalant and slow to acknowledge you. The woman who took our order did not seem present as well. There's a gift shop inside to browse while waiting, but there are better meals and experiences to be had in the area. read more

Great view, okay food, bad service. The spot is unbeatable, right on the beach with a fantastic view of haystack rock and the sunset. The salad was pretty average, but the clam chowder and fish and chips were solid. My partner got the Panko battered and it was dry and tasted like something from a freezer. We waited almost 12-15 minutes after being seated for anyone to come to us. Meanwhile we saw servers standing around and chatting and checking in with regulars. We got our salad first and ordered bread to go with our soup, but we didn't get the bread until AFTER we were done with our entrees when we made it clear it was for the soup. Our food just sat under the heat lamp as we could see it for greater than 5 minutes. Could barely get a refill before leaving. read more

Mo's is right on the beach facing Haystack Rock, a casual restaurant with some outside dining and lots of free parking. Wine, beer and inexpensive cocktails on one side of the menu with fish baskets, chowder, sandwiches, burgers & salads on the other side. It was a nice casual menu. We walked through a T shirt shop on the way in. The wall of windows facing the spectacular beach and Haystack Rock made Mo's even more special. We started with cups of New England clam chowder made with bacon. The chowder may have been the best I've ever tasted; creamy, flavorful and very chunky. Shared the combination platter with shrimp, clam strips and cod. Our meal with really spectacular at $25 with $1 million view it was quite a deal read more

This place is a classic place to eat at in the cannon beach area. We got our name in and we're seated within 10 mins. Sat down, waited 5 mins for the waiter and he took out orders. I got the halibut fish and fries along with a cup of clam chowder. Both were really good. The Bloody Mary was not too bad either. The fish was not too greasy either. I liked the cabbage and shrimp salad as well. This place has a great name but I am sure there are better places for the price. But when it's covid times and the state going on lock down again it's about all you can settle for these days. It's a beautiful view out the windows at the beach plus, they have outdoor seating as well. read more

Going to the coast in the winter is definitely different from going there in the summer. Mo's is usually packed with folks in the summer, but when we visited in the winter there were only a few people. A classic must-get is the clam chowder they have. However, it's a hit or miss sometimes in the flavor. This time around, we got a family-style chowder and it was pretty good and flavorful. No complaints. I ordered the combo basket, which I didn't realize how big it would be... With the combo basket you get to choose a side and I got a cabbage salad with shrimp. I for some reason thought that when it said cabbage salad and shrimp it would come with other things, but it literally is what it says. It came with a good pile of small shrimps for the salad. The combo basket came with some cod, shrimp, clam strips and fries. The shrimp felt like a coconut shrimp in a way, the cod was breaded nicely and the clam strips were good. The fries were a little greasy but was yummy. Overall, lots of food for this combo basket and definitely could share it with two people. I didn't take any photos this time, but will do next time. Oh also, while we were eating there is a nice view of the ocean here. We were able to see some whales a far. read more

I am really perplexed why this place gets good reviews and there are a handful of Mo's in the area. If you have any discernible taste at all, you would not enjoy this place. I typically don't even take the time to review places, but I thought I'd reach out to let people know. It is not worth the money at all. The clam chowder seems like it was out of a can and fettuccine was like a sauce was out of a jar and they added some Italian spice and some Parmesan to it. The codfish tacos were just OK but the crazy thing is that it was served with salsa that I would bet $1000 was out of a jar. Such a shame when there's fresh produce available. Some of the dishes seemed reasonably priced but we found out why after tasting the food. They definitely have the real estate and beautiful views, but that is about it. Even the gal who picked up our dishes saw how full the bowl was and the plate. She gave us a look. I think she was surprised that we would spend that kind of money and only have a few bites of each dish. Server was nice and it was very dog friendly. That was the highlight. read more

Did not even get to eat. The manager said they were on a 15 min hold of not seating people. She did not come back for 30 mins and said she was trying to let the kitchen catch up. There were only 6 tables filled in the restaurant. She never took names made people stand in line and then said again it would be 20 mins. Very dismissive attitude. Would not spend my hard earned money there!!! read more

Ordered online and was told it would be a 15 minute wait. When I got to the restaurant 15 minutes later, I had to wait another 45 minutes for my food. No place to sit and wait. No apologies. read more

Mo's is terrible now - been going over 20 yrs. They gutted the menu, ruined the food, little seafood left. Bad food, bad service. PASS until they fix things. Overpriced. Subpar. Used to be great. Go somewhere else... its so loud, no charm left. Bring back the original menu!!! read more

We took a drive to Cannon Beach for Father's Day and decided to get some clam chowder and seafood at Mo's. Worried about the long wait times, we called from downtown Cannon Beach and the host told us we should come by earlier to put our name on the list to avoid being stuck waiting in line later. We did, and it worked out. So, definitely plan ahead on weekends. So we waited around 35 minutes (it felt faster) until we received a text for our table. Upon entering the dining area, we noticed that they removed quite a few tables for social distancing purposes. It was spacious and, because it was so nice outside, we chose a table on the back patio with a great view of the rocks. By the way, the new seating policy is: the servers will lead you to a table and will handle the bill right there, which makes complete sense for keeping things moving and people apart. I ordered my standard clam chowder with a side of garlic bread, my bf ordered the halibut fish and chips, and his daughter ordered the chicken tenders with a side cup of chowder. The chowder was thick and full of clams and the garlic bread was fresh and crunchy. So, I liked it. The fish and chips were moist on the inside and crunchy on the outside, which is what you want. For the fish itself, the halibut was good, if maybe a bit expensive for what you get though. The chicken tenders must have been good because they disappeared pretty fast. I know there are a lot of new places to get seafood/fish and chips in Cannon Beach, but I would recommend Mo's for the classic food and the view. I would also give it 5 stars for nostalgia. read more

Great Food, however I feel bad for the people working there, they are seriously understaffed during the time we were there. I think that this might be a good location to stop doing table service and do a counter service style of a restaurant in order to take better care of the customers. read more

It will do in a pinch, but just because you say it's world famous doesn't make it fantastic or great. I may be picky on my clam chowder and while I've had worse, I've had a lot better as well. (Your opinion may be different). The fish and chips were ok. Service was fine when I went. read more

Service was excellent and the food was hot. Had the combo plate, clam chowder, steamer class, and wife had the clam strips with cauliflower rice. All were decent. The chowder was a bit bland and my fried fish was soggy because it was under a huge bed of fries, so that was off-putting. Margarita was tasty. I'd definitely go again. Great clean atmosphere and a wonderful view of the beach. read more

Very surprised after reading a Yelp post where someone complained of being turned away when requesting a dog friendly table and the manager replied they were sorry for the confusion as they have seating outside for customers with dogs. Well today, we requested outdoor seating with our dogs and were told by "Cass" they no longer offer this. Had to take the dogs back since our only option was take out if we had our dogs. Maybe y'all can update your status once and for all? Food was okay but we really wanted a dog friendly place to eat... I might have given five stars if I knew what to expect before being turned away today. read more

Ordered a quart of clam chowder to go the other day - can't beat the flavor and the quart size is a real bargain. Got like 3 meals out of it! Today was 1lb of steamers - that was my lunch with an order of garlic parm bread to dip in the sauce. Plus a shared order of onion rings. The fried food is great here if you like cornmeal breading. I prefer a beer batter, but hey no accounting for taste. This location has done a good job of social distancing - their tables are still a nice distance apart, and many of the staff (though not all) had masks on. Can't beat the view :-) My wife enjoyed the fried shrimp, my daughter the Impossible Burger (she thought it may have been slightly undercooked), my son-in-law his fish tacos, and my grandson liked his strips. He also managed to devour most of a piece of peanut butter pie, though everyone had a bite. We are staying at a nearby cottage and will be back. read more

On 6/1/25 sat outside with our dog & had wonderful service from server Cynthia food was ok but enjoyed our dining experience more. The next day on 6/2/25 went with our friends & management refused to service us outside again said we had to order our meals via takeout & beverages from the cooler. I told them that wasn't the case the previous day & they said well this is a different day and offered no other solutions. We left & didn't go back for the duration of our trip. Honestly the food isn't all that great for management to be that rude. And they were not that busy to be so picky...shame on them. read more

I must admit I picked this place simply for the great views of Cannon Beach and that was my mistake. Came here on a Tuesday around 2 pm and was seated right away on the patio with an awesome view. I ordered: -Cannonball ($11.95) - this is your classic clam chowder in a sourdough bread bowl. The bread bowl was extremely stale and the chowder itself was lackluster. No great flavor, kinda felt like I was eating oatmeal. 1 star for the friendly service and another star for the great views. I would skip this place if you are looking for solid food. read more

Our server was sweet and attentive but everything else-- the cocktails, the food, the atmosphere-- was disappointing. No food had any flavor. I ordered blackened fish tacos and there was barely any seasoning on the fish and definitely NOT blackened by any stretch of the imagination. We probably wouldn't eat here again when in town. Waste of time and money, unfortunately especially because the prices seem higher than the quality of food ($18.95 for three tacos and a lukewarm cup of chowder). read more

The restaurant has a great view of the ocean and Haystack Rock if you're looking north. The steamer clams were quite good! Not filling, but full of flavor. The clam chowder was tasty, my partner usually doesn't like clams but she made an exception because of the taste and texture, it was cooked perfectly. The fish (halibut) and chips were crispy, flaky, and well seasoned. The tartar sauce was not too creamy and looked housemade, good with my fries too. Our server was excellent, she kept our drinks topped and was sure to check on us and bus our table. read more
